STAY SAFE!! [ID: the Gilbert Baker pride flag with the words “Happy pride to all those who are unable to celebrate openly and safely. You are loved and seen!” in all-caps black text over it. /end ID]
You can obtain this when both are max love, max dominance/yearning; you must have Gwylan's collar (they are your LI), and haven't come home to Eden in a long time (in my game, I probably abandoned him for more than a month; in the Social tab, it showed "Eden wants you to come home"
You are in the forest, you get attacked by a denizen, and you scream for help. If you have gone through all of Gwylan's route as well as Eden's, then both have offered to rescue you in case you scream. I don't think you can get this scene unless you have Gwylan's collar, because they need high Yearning (their dominance stat), and you must be deep under their Hypnosis (I was between Mesmeric Devotion and Sublime Devotion). When both come to rescue you, a fight for ownership happens between the two. Eden is pissed at you for not coming home and abandoning them, while Gwylan wants to take you to their home because, at this point in their route, you are theirs. There is bad blood between them, or they share history at the very least.
If you choose to go home with Gwylan, Eden will hunt both of you down, but Gwylan will be counted as your ally. If you choose to go home with Eden, Gwylan simply won't allow you, going so far as to steal your voice and compel you to choose them instead. Either way, Gwylan will take you to their shop, where a hunt scene will begin. If you chose to go with Eden, both Gwylan and Eden will be counted as enemies. There is an important dialogue between the two that reveals more about their shared past, with small tweaks depending on whose side you're on.
Spoilers for DOL Gwylan Route. Read at your own risk
I do think Gwylan loves the PC at the end of his content for now. His interest at 100 will turn into Love on Dol Vanilla, he gets super affectionate, and it changes from wanting to do the ritual to just wanting to mate with you.
I just think that love isn't the one most people are thinking of. Where he respects your boundaries and is a true pure love where he loves you like a person. The way Robin or Sydney love the PC is not the same way Gwylan does.
Even pushing aside the forced petplay he drops in the PC's lap, It's not really an master and pet relationship fully to me. I would call it a witch and their favorite treasure.
I want to really focus on their confession scene because it really sets the tone for how Gwylan loves you and sees you this whole time.
This is from reddit because I can't pull it from my own save and I didn't screenshot at the time. Evil work that the Scene Viewer doesn't have this.

Everything in his shop reminds him of something, someone. Memories long past, of the lives he used to be before being Gwylan. Take the Chain Tunic for example, the one belonging to Fayne.
This screenshot is from another save of mine.
Deadly protective and really attached to it, the only thing reminding them of Fayne. I can't help but think, the PC is like that for them.
"You're a treasure I can't have" A treasure that walks and has a mind of it's own. A treasure that can just disappear in the corruption of this town one day and he won't hear from you. He makes it clear that he worries about missing you, telling you in the cafe that if you ever disappear, he would dearly miss you.
Now, he also says that he doesn't actually love you. I would say his yearning isn't high enough. Multiple times in his route, it seems that he is actively holding himself back.
From the kiss scene where he kisses back, to how he keeps going to hold your hand but to pull away, or that he longs to sink you deeper into his hypnosis. His yearning is him slowly falling in love with you, unable to hold himself back at some point.
To the point where he starts kissing your cheek and you many times, becoming more affectionate the longer this goes. I still think he views you as a treasure though, judging by how he just ignores your consent and your identity as a person.
At highest yearning, he ignores your freedom, something that he was worry about at the start of it. He puts a collar on you, that lets him go to you whenever he wants, that shocks anyone that tries to take it off, that marks you as his.
His treasure that he can now take anytime, no matter how far they go. His to keep and own no matter what they think or want.
I like to add that with Harpy players, that Gwylan can request that he personally preen your wings. When you do, you get this trait.
Hmm..Preening a bird so thoroughly that they can't fly away from you. Many thoughts on you, Gwylan.
He also calls you the nickname Canary, a bird people tend to know as ones who sings in mines. When it stops singing, poison gas would be in the mines.
I wonder, who would be the poison in this scenario then.
One more thing, about Fayne and Nona. In Ending S, Nona actually returns Fayne's affections and is taken away by him. He takes care of them the rest of their lives, making Nona gain the Stockholm Syndrome Trait with him.
Nona gets this trait because well, her body is all fucked up and she needs someone to take care of it until she can get a new one. Also you need to be very, very dedicated to her. You need to put flowers in her hair, wash it, get her robes, save her, and make a deal with the Ivory Wraith.
Fayne has to care for her, more then any other route and dedicated his life to her, devoted in a way.
Like the PC is for Gwylan.
Devoted to their witch, only feeling whole when they are with them. Like a cycle repeating itself.
But this time, the witch's body is healthy and whole, with a collar and leash on the gaoler.
I wonder, if the PC ever got into a soft bad ending with such high yearning, with Gwylan having such a tight hold on them, and they disappear for a while...
oh so he "understands her better than anyone" but even in his deepest imagination he still envisions her in the colours that reflect the costume she had to dress up in to conform to society when he first met her
actually yknow what??? mike wheeler is going to listen to good luck babe in 2024 and he is going to wince and look over at will in the passenger seat who is also looking at him going “you better be fucking glad you didn’t fumble me”
If everything goes well AND MY DESIRE TO CONTINUE COMICS STILLS THERE, I will return to making sequels or things related to my alternate universe. For now, it was just how they met.
Maybe I'll do a shorter one later, depending on the context. Also, if all goes well, you can go to the questions section and I'll answer anything (even with art) about it.
First fact: Will’s mark can be made invisible with magic, but it consumes a lot of energy. (It’s a mark of cursed users.) The mark can spread across his entire body, and it turns completely black when the curse takes control of him. The mark reacts to his emotions—negative emotions are what make him lose control of both himself and his magic.
remember when el was bullied and harassed publicly and all mike cared about was how will was rolling his eyes and moping and barely talking and how what sabotaged the whole day was not el's bullies but will minding his own business? cause i will never forget! he is so crazy
