got this cutest little thing from the incredible @xejune!

[gothic-burrito]

Never thought this would be how I return to this side of Tumblr but hey, missed me?😂

Idk how big the intersection of people who watched the Witcher and ship Calanthe and Eist and the people who have watched the new kdrama Tomorrow is but here me out.

The story of Joong Gil and Ryeon but it’s Eist and Calanthe!!

Spoiler warning for Tomorrow below the cut for the people who want to know more but haven’t watched the drama yet.

Ok so the basic plot of Tomorrow (copied from google cuz I’m lazy):

“Choi Jun-woong (Rowoon) is a young job seeker who is unable to secure a job. Through an accident, he meets the grim reapers Koo Ryeon (Kim Hee-sun) and Lim Ryung Gu (Yoon Ji-on) who have the task of preventing suicide, and works with them as the youngest contract worker in the crisis management team of death angels.”

Now for the story of Ryeon and Joong Gil:

Ryeon and Joong Gil were married to each other in a past life but she killed herself, which lead to their fate strings getting severed. Which basically means they will never find each other again after they get reborn. Both end up as grim reapers and while she remembers who he is, he has no memory of this past life and therefore also not of her. So they dance around each other for 200+ years basically in constant pain. Him because he has nightmares regarding his life he can’t remember and because he can’t place why he feels so weird in her presence. And her because the husband who she remembers as a loving and gentle guy is now cold, distant and doesn’t recall who she is. (When someone gets reincarnated they are not 100% the exact same person they were before) So he looks and feel like her husband but he is in fact not the husband she knew back in life. And as his memories slowly start to come back she has to confront her fear of getting rejected by him because she was the one to abandon him by committing suicide.

So take that and replace the backstory with the canon storyline of Eist and Calanthe. That’s it. That’s my thought.

I realize that you probably have to have seen the drama to understand why this would have any appeal. (Since it’s basically just angst, yearning and pining with a side of more angst) But damn I can’t get this concept out of my head!

The idea of them dancing around each other for centuries is too fucking tempting! Also Eist in black turtlenecks, menacing coats and clean cut suits with leather gloves????!!!!

It would basically be canon compliant but also modern AU at the same time, since the actual plot would take place in a modern version of the world of the Witcher.

It’s basically lovers to coworkers to enemies to allies to lovers 👌🏼😂

Any thoughts on this? I’m willing to draft and elaborate on this idea cuz it’s really all that has space in my brain rn. BUT idk if I’d have the time to write a fully fleshed out story cuz this would have to be at least 100K words long in order to reach its full potential 😅

"I cannot wait for this party to end." An amused smile graced your lips, head turning to look at the Lioness of Cintra. Queen Calanthe raised a cup of ale to her lips, taking a sip.

"All these bastards.. Barely any of them are worth my time." She whispered, fingers drumming against the armrest of her throne. Her gaze swept through the room, watching the men drink and laugh.

"If you keep frowning, you'll get more wrinkles." You cooed playfully, staring forward and biting back a smile when Calanthe snapped her head towards you. Eist snickered, covering it up by drinking so he didn't get the same glare.

"Isn't it odd to be your age and bringing someone my age to bed?" You asked, slowly looking at her with a cheeky smile. Calanthe scoffed, fighting back a smile.

"Watch your mouth." Calanthe said, shaking her head. "I am your queen after all."

"Oh, I know, Calanthe. Don't you remember how much you remind me in be-"

"Hush your mouth." Calanthe huffed, cheeks warming softly as she looked forward. Only you and Eist could ever get her to blush. You giggled softly, reaching forward and picking up a cup of wine. Calanthe looked at her daughter, watching her speak with some other young women.

"Would you ever accept a marriage proposal, (Y/N)?" Calanthe asked, turning her head towards you. You furrowed your brows, licking your lips.

"Why do you ask?"

"You won't be young forever." Eist pointed out, head tilting as he studied you. You gave the couple a smile, chuckling softly.

"You shouldn't worry. I'm perfectly happy with the both of you."

Calanthe rolled over in bed, snuggling up against Eist's side, pressing her face against his shoulder as she let out a long breath.

She felt his arms wrap around her waist, pulling her against his chest as he rolled over to face her. She smiled, waking up to greet the morning, gazing up I to his eyes.

"Good morning..." She breathed, leaning up to press a kiss to his lips, smiling against him as he kissed her back, his right hand coming up to cradle the back of her head.

"Good morning indeed." He hummed in response, pressing another kiss to her forehead. "And good morning to you, little bear."

She smiled as he pressed his palm against the swell of her belly, her hand coming down to rest over his, feeling the life within her press small kicks against their joined hands.

"They're awake, love... Which means it's time for us to get out of bed." She chuckled, rolling onto her back before pushing herself upright, running her hand over the swell.

"Mmhm... And what does my queen fancy for breakfast? I'll make it myself."

"Eist, you could burn water, dear... But the effort is appreciated." She laughed, looking at the false hurt he sported, his hand on his heart.

"Wow... That actually hurt, darling." He sniffled, making her laugh more.

"Will a kiss lessen the pain, my king?"

"Hmm... Perhaps just this once it will..." He replied, a smile returning to his lips.

She chuckled, leaning over to press a kiss to his lips, which he eagerly deepened before she sway his arm, pulling back to take a gasp of air.

"Eist! You're absolutely incorrigible!"

"That may be so... But you love it." He grinned, pulling the quilt off and climbing out of bed. "Now... What would you like for breakfast? And I promise I'll have the cooks make it."

"Eggs would be fantastic... I'm sure that's all the little one would let me eat this morning."

"Done. Be back as soon as it's ready." He grinned, kissing her again before disappearing from their bedroom with a skip to his step.

Calanthe smiled then, rubbing her swollen belly once more with a pleased smile on her lips, turning her gaze out to the sky, watching the birds that streaked past the fluffy white clouds in an ocean of blue.
