    Summary

    Messmer x Tarnished (Reader/You)

    /

    The wooden end of your staff drags against stone as you lean heavily upon it, your body swaying dangerously. The wooden shaft groans under your weight as you struggle to remain standing. You lower yourself to one knee, the venom making your vision swim. "I can't fight you."

    Messmer footsteps echo across the distance as he approaches. "What manner of Tarnished... that wouldst not raise their staff?" Beneath his amusement lurks a deadly threat.

    /

    A graceless warrior enters the Shadow Keep. A lord of flame guards his solitude. Neither of you expected to find understanding in each other. As secrets unravel and duties clash, you both learn that everyone deserves a second chance - even a lord of shadow and flame, even a graceless Tarnished. Where will this path lead?

    /

    Slow burn and redemption.

    Summary

    “Welcome back, my beloved God-Slayer.” Messmer whispers into Eyrie’s neck, slipping his arms around their waist and lifting them with ease until they are pulled flush into a tight embrace, his face going right to the warm curve of their neck.

    They were no God, or Demi-God themselves, nor an Empyrean, but they were no mere Tarnished anymore.

    That, he is certain of.

    Summary

    Messmer had asked his consort to stay with him, to abandon their ambitions, but he had not asked them to stay in the Shadow Keep, never leaving, until the end of days.

    Perhaps he should have, as now that they are gone, and the hours continue to pass, loneliness sneaks up like an assassin and drives its terrible dagger into his heart and twists.

    Summary

    The Age of Stars is upon them. The Lands Between is to be free from the shackles of the Greater Will, all with Ranni and her consort to lead them. But before the plan can be brought to fruition, there are loose ends to tie up, namely from the last of Marika's children: Miquella the Kind and Messmer the Impaler.

    And where else to find them but the mysterious Land of Shadow...

    Or

    An alternate universe that dares to ask the question: What happens if the Tarnished were to play Shadow of the Erdtree, but he tried talking to Rellana and Messmer instead of being a murderhobo?

    Summary

    An exhausted pyrefly with tattered wings flounders over a war-torn land, desperately searching for a safe place to endure the suffering of what remains of her broken existence.

    An abandoned flame with burned faith smolders inside a shadowed castle, desperately yearning for the one who will end the suffering of what had been his cursed existence.

    Both seek a death that they could never hope to truly obtain. Even still, future life can be found amongst the ashes of past sins—sins that barely separate a lowly Tarnished from a lofty demigod.

    Be it in death, or in life, black pyreflies and serpentine embers are destined to be found alongside one another. So long as they find the strength to persevere…

    Summary

    His serpent heads taste the air, but there is only smouldering resin; the flavour of lilies just below, packed in close, suffocating, their petals like a blanket stuffed into his mouth. A garland of them over his eyes, so that he cannot turn, cannot steer his serpents away from the gaze of this god-child, his kin. Cannot see how Miquella glimpses over his shoulder, following the path of ruin that has led them here. How his own words settle in the dark like seeds where they will grow.

    *

    From a shattered kingdom, a young stranger comes before Messmer, smelling of lilies and gold, with a story to tell and a favour to ask.

    Summary

    The Lands Between lies suffocated beneath an otherworldly dark fog, its once-golden realm now unrecognizable. In the wake of The Fall and the mysterious disappearance of the last Elden Lord, the chaotic Flames of Frenzy have scarred the land beyond recognition. With Grace extinguished and despair taking root in every corner of this shattered world, all seems lost. Yet in this age of darkness, a single ember of hope remains - the last surviving heir of the golden lineage, a lone demigod who may hold the power to reshape this broken realm.

    Summary

    What happens when a Tarnished of no renown unknowingly kills his soulmate?

    Unable to shake the deep regret, Fate itself conspires to bring the two together and the Tarnished finds himself tumbling back in time to the land before the Shattering and before Marika's ascension to godhood.

    He awakens in Shaman Village as a spirit where he meets a younger version of Messmer the Impaler and has an instinctual urge to protect and mentor the young, not-yet demigod.

    Each day he is returned to the Sea of Gold and each day is he summoned by Messmer.

    Only time will tell if the bond they forged in his youth can stand the test of time and bring healing to both the Lands Between and the Serpent's aching heart.

    “For theirs is a story written in the stars and the Threads of Fate guide all to their destiny.”

    Summary

    Nerana, a Tarnished with ties to the astrologers of the Mountaintops, journeys through the shattered Lands Between, burdened by death, memory, and the fractured purpose of the Golden Order. Haunted by doubt and a forgotten past, she encounters Messmer, the cursed son of Marika, whose rage and sorrow burn like the flames he commands. As they clash and gradually form an uneasy alliance, Nerana’s pursuit of truth draws her deeper into the web of divine betrayal, lost gods, and a world on the brink of transformation. Together, they confront the lies of their creators, the prison of destiny, and the cost of freedom—questioning whether the Erdtree must burn so something new may rise. Beneath moonlight and ash, love, grief, and legacy entwine, as they move toward a fate neither of them fully understands, but can no longer escape.

    Summary

    Remembrance of the Shadow, Gwyneth, hewn into the Scadutree.

    Much as Godwyn became the scion of the Golden Lineage, so too did the eldest daughter of Queen Marika carry a curse wrought of the original sin. Gwyneth was the sole Empyrean of Godfrey’s line, but the darkness within her flesh and the visions born of her connection to the Scadutree drove her mother to imprison her within the Land of Shadow. And yet, she who saw the fragility of Order, who grieved the plight of those rejected and abandoned by the grace of gold, still fought endlessly to avert the fate imposed upon her kin and the Lands Between.

    After all, wherever shadows are cast, there is also light.

    ---

    A daughter is born of the union between Marika and Godfrey, an Empyrean with memories of a past life and of the future to come.

    Summary

    For centuries the kingdom o'er which he reigned, Messmer the Impaler, grew feeble and antiquated. For centuries its king awaited only challengers and victims of his crusade. Centuries, it was, where Messmer walked the wanly corridors of Marika's former home and shielded her from scorn with his motherless ire. His hatred half-baked and his passion jaded, only those around him saw how he suffered.

    Thus, Messmer the Impaler's most noble Knight, Salza, facing the winter of his life, went out in search of his successor—an advisor; a warrior; a friend—who would be the worthy new servant of his lifelong master. His search, leading him beyond the Fog, brought to Messmer's radar a candidate of inconceivable potential.

    Someone who could rival Marika herself in dominion over Messmer's heart.

    Summary

    You were sent to the Shadow Realm for reasons Queen Marika wouldn’t disclose. Stripped of Grace, you make a deal with Messmer the Impaler that in order to delay your death by his flames, you will find a way to lessen the burden of his ‘curse’ and help the suffering shamans. Along the way you two will find friendship in each other, and eventually have an unbreakable bond between a son of a god and a Tarnished stripped of light. But Messmer will never let it become something more, because it will mean to abandon his duty.

    And to abandon his duty will mean abandoning his mother.

     

    “Then, if Your Grace allows it, I can help you lessen the burden. In exchange, if you ever find the need to perish me by your flames…please grant me a whole day to outrun you.”

    Summary

    A nameless Tarnished is running from something that never ceases to follow: a lingering regret, a shame, a past grief. All culminating in her attempting to run away, defy the fingers, and to spare her next foe, the last demigod, Messmer the Impaler. It does not go as planned.
