An Emmeryn x Gangrel story I decided to write because the idea for it popped into my head. Enjoy.


"She's marrying her murderer?!" That was the rumor spreading through the ranks of the shepherds. People couldn't believe it. After so recently finding her safe, and alive. Chrom and Lissa had been so excited. Lissa's blonde hair had blocked the rest of her vision as the younger girl tackled her on the field. Chrom had somehow managed to get behind her without her noticing. His arms felt stronger than what she expected as he held her in spot, refusing gravity to let her fall. He would never let her fall again.

She did not know them then, she still remembers little of her past. She married her murderer. She was not the same Emmeryn as they all knew. He was not the same twisted king they had all fought against. They were different. They did not belong in this world, and together they had come to terms with this fact. Together they had made a home for themselves in this world that wasn't theirs, just as the children from the future had.

"Emmeryn, are you sure you want to go through with this?" Chrom asks his elder sister. He was doubting her judgement but even he had felt pre wedding jitters before he was married.

"There is no doubt in my mind." Emmeryn confirms what they all already knew. She was marrying the mad king and no one could convince her otherwise. Gangrel on the otherhand;

"Robin what am I doing here?" A panicking, redheaded, former king asks as he paces around.

"Getting married." Robin says nonchalantly with a smile on their face.

"Yeah, I really am. Grima what should I do."

"Get married." Robin suggests.

Gangrel lets out a sigh of frustration. "I didn't ask you."

"You're asking Grima. Since he was killed I'm the closest thing their is too Grima."

"Guh, you know that is not what I meant Robin!" The mad king shouts.

Robin tries not to laugh. "Gangrel calm down. You proposed to her, you wanted this." A expression of intrigue crosses Robin's face. "Are you reconsidering your proposal?" Robin does not mention the fact that everyone in all of the kingdoms have heard of their wedding and would surely hear of it if the groom left the blushing bride. Gangrel did not need the extra pressure right now and Robin did not want him to let others make his decision for him right now.

"No. I am not considering that. Not really." His voice grows quieter. "What I am considering is saving her from a mistake."

Robin stands still and listens quietly.

"If she marries me, she'll marry a monster. The same monster that took her life in this world, and almost hers in another." Gangrel sits down and rests his head in his hands. "I can't do that too her."

"No matter how you look at it, to leave her now after coming so far, well you'll be hurting her more than you ever had in the past. You will, not the other yous. She knows that you are not the same as them, and she loves you Gangrel. I can see it in her eyes."

"You would know all about love, wouldn't you Robin?"

"I know a few things. At least I like to think I do."

"It was still me. I'm the monster in her nightmares no doubt." Gangrel looks away from his friend. Robin was probably his only other friend in this world beside Emmeryn. "She's always been forgiving. She'll forgive me for this as well. I'm not the one who she deserves."

"Yet you are the one she said yes too. Gangrel if you leave now I have no doubt she'll forgive you, but things will never be the same as they were before. Don't throw this away."

There was a knock on the door Robin gives whoever it was permission to open it before Gangrel could shout for them to leave them alone.

Lissa peers in. Her hair was down with flowers of all sorts braided into it. Her typical yellow dress was replaced with a dress that fell to her the tips of her feet and was a very light shade of pink.

"Is everyone ready?"

Robin looks over to Gangrel for confirmation.

"Yes." Gangrel says sounding as if he had come to a decision. Robin smiles at their friend.

"Shall we be joining the rest then?" Robin asks to make sure. Gangrel nods and follows his friend out.

The wedding was gorgeous. It was small and quiet, not even all of the shepherds were invited. Not that all would come. Some felt it was to strange, others were busy with life, still some, very few but still did not approve of this wedding and Chrom made sure to stand against them all and support his sister even if he did not always support it either. Robin's breath hitched when it came time for the I do's.

"I do." Went Emmeryn.

"Gangrel do," Libra was interrupted by none other than the groom himself.

"Emmeryn I know we have our differences and you have forgiven me for my sins, but I have not forgiven them myself yet. Can you deal with someone as foolish as I?"

Emmeryn's signature smile was upon her face now. She cups Gangrel's cheek. "My sweet, we are both very foolish and we both have our foolish moment. However this is not one of them and no matter what I will stand beside you."

Gangrel could feel the tears prickling at his eyes. He whispers thank you under his breath before saying "I do."

Within a few months the happy couple had disappeared. There were rumors about where they had gone and the royal family of Ylisse were distressed by the sudden disappearance of their finally reclaimed sister. No one found the couple despite looking within every country. Eventually they retired the search praying to Naga that Emmeryn and Gangrel were safe and happy wherever they were. Rumors and whispers stayed around for years about where the two went and only one person never theorized or made suggestions on where to look. Nowadays Robin works and receives many letters everyday from many different people, but the one with the strange emblems of unknown origins is the only one they refuse to read in front of anyone. Not even Morgan has read any of the contents within those letters of Robin's. Rarely he would comment on fools when asked about the letters. According to him they were the letter of fools.
