I love Neuvillette/Vautrin because AUAUGHAHHHHHAGAGG *choking myself*

Anyway

I love Vautrin's character. Well, in the sense that he was a guy who took justice into his own hands knowing very well that there was little the justice system could do to protect the people he loved. Kinda insane that his first instinct upon knowing what happened to Carole was to kill the people who framed her.

And then! When he was tried at court, he acted out in front of Neuvillette to prove to everyone else that Neuvillette was a fair and impartial judge... Even when the consequence was him being exiled to Meropide!!!

I'm sick!!!!

And while he was in Meropide, he created the Mutual Aid Society to help people!!!!!

He didn't have to do all that but he did it anyway...

Vautrin I would say, really is a very interesting contrast to Neuvillette's character.

[in the same way that Daredevil and the Punisher are also foils but that's probably an entirely different story.]

The pain of shipping Playable Character/NPC is that the NPC will have a total of 5 appearances... Which means I have extremely limited material to work with for edits... Maybe I should start animating that shit myself.

Just played Neuvillette's story quest btw so yes this is about Neuvillette and Vautrin.

Something² dragons and their dead npc husbands in their story quests.

Good morning everyone...

Neuvillette/Vautrin renaissance I say!

I did not make an edit for them but I did end up writing a fic:

TITLE: At the End of the World

SUMMARY:

A few hundred years ago, Neuvillette received a letter from someone who once called him friend.

The contents of the letter are as follows:

My Dearest Neuvillette,

It has been many years since we last met. How have you been? I'm sure you're as spry as ever. I on the other hand have grown old and decrepit like the Fortress I've been condemned to. I know things between us aren't as smooth-sailing as they used to be, but please indulge the whims of an old man just this once. This lowly criminal humbly asks you, Chief Justice of Fontaine, to visit me one last time before I shall depart from this wretched earth.

Yours,

Vautrin

"Oh... Look at you, Neuvillette. You're as beautiful as the day I last saw you."

"Vautrin..."

"Don't make such a face, my dear friend. This fate of mine is what I deserved."

Alternatively...

Neuvillette gets one last chance to say goodbye to his beloved.
