One of my other OCs, Mother Sephrenia, performed both Ishgardian weddings (the secret elopement and then the big public one later). BUT for Gisèle/Ysayle/Haurchefant on the First, Runar performed their handfasting a la Night’s Blessed.

Ahewann performed the Gisvrtra ceremony.

If your WoL were to get married, which NPC would be the one to officiate their wedding?

My Wolstinien Week thread here.

Day 1: Food/Travels

"This feels just like old times, non?"

"It does make me long a bit for Dravania, aye."

"...tis not the same when we're not sneaking away from the boy."

I realized I don’t really talk abt the specific estisteph dynamic within #TheElfpile but it’s endlessly fascinating to me bc much like gistinien it’s a pairing that on paper absolutely should not work but they are fiercely devoted to each other and their bond began when steph went w them to the aery

the first time Stephanivien kissed Gisèle it was after they won the tourney at Camp Dragonhead and he literally ran over, picked her up, spun her around, and then kissed her with tongue in front of literally everyone. he didn’t realize the last part btw

and it was his love confession

Hi! I’m Aurora and my WoL is Gisèle, my Grey Warden from That Dragon Game who died in the Ultimate Sacrifice ending but then awakened on Source with amnesia in Nald’s Reflection. She’s in a poly marriage w Haurchefant, Ysayle, Estinien, Aymeric and Stephanivien aka #TheElfpile. Many other ships too.

Fanfic Chain! Quote with a fav fic of yours!

A Warmer Hearth is the first long form fic I ever wrote for ffxiv and it’s still one of my faves. It’s how #gishaurche first happened, following the Bloody Banquet.

tbh one of my favorite Gisèle romantic gestures was preserving the elaborate, floriography-coded flower arrangements that Aymeric made and brought to Haurche daily while he was in a coma. She did it unasked, and now there’s an entire part of the chateau’s greenhouse for them.

#TheElfpile clarity: Ysayle is only legally married to Gisèle, Estinien, and Haurche as of 7.0, being Aymeric’s mistress per Ishgardian law. She did not elope w them in SB nor do the big wedding. She was handfasted w Gisèle and Haurche in Slitherbough and married Estinien at the end of EW in RAH.
As a goldsmith, Gisèle made all the rings, each with a unique gem. Etched along the inside of the golden bands is a portmanteau vow blending the mottos of Houses Fortemps and Haillenarte with that Aymeric chose for Borel as the House Royal: “shields high in the name of the rose, for the sky”.

Gisèle throws open the doors of Chateau Greystone and #TheElfpile hosts a big Starlight celebration for people from the rest of the Firmament and across Foundation and the Brume. Haurchefant is Saint of Nymeia and hands out toys Steph makes. Gisèle plays music and tells stories. There’s a huge feast
#wolquestion / #wolqotd

Happy starlight! How does your wol / oc spend starlight? With family / friends? Making baked goods, by themselves, etc?

Gisèle is polyamorous and an ethical hedonist, I have no need or desire to make up AUs solely for shipping. #TheElfpile is her group marriage with Haurchefant, Ysayle, Estinien, Aymeric, and Stephanivien. But it’s not closed, and she and they have a slew of other partners; some are shared, some not.

on this, the longest night
the House Royal of Ishgard wish all a happy starlight.
