    Summary

    "My followers were yours, and you've had more before that. You know how to lead, and we're the only two that could do it indefinitely. I've already been benefiting from your guidance up until this point, and I still could."
    The flock just keeps growing. I can care for it on a large scale, but it's more feasible to stay on top of things on a more, I guess… relational level if there's more than just one person at the head," they explain with a nod, seeming satisfied with themself. And oddly, it's their forthright manner here that's throwing him off guard, more than anything.
    Through the crown, he had listened in on their sermons. They were a talented preacher, sometimes fearsome and sometimes loving, always grandiose. He'd drunk deep of the devotion their fervor inspired, and of their own fidelity to the gospel in their hand, penned carefully in his name. Their own worship.
    And now, they spoke to him as if they were haggling with one of the vendors on the outskirts. Like that poorly disguised cannibal who sold them fish.
    "So, I think it'd be a logical course of action if we just get married, and lead together," they finish, nodding again.

    Summary

    “…I enjoy fish,” Narinder mutters, quiet enough that he hopes the Lamb doesn’t hear. But their ear perks up, stars in their eyes as they quickly look at him, grabbing him by the arms instinctively. Narinder’s fur stands on end.

    “Fish! Fish I can do! I’m not amazing at fishing, but I can bring you some fish back. Could take a trip to Anchordeep, maybe, once the door’s open again,” they ramble on, oblivious to the way Narinder’s tail flicks behind his back. For someone with mind reading, they’re rather terrible at reading people.

     

    Or, five times the Lamb initiates contact with Narinder, and one time Narinder initiates contact with them.

    Summary

    All his life, Narinder thought he was at least a bit better than everyone else. Did he get a better Crown than his siblings? Well, yes! Caused deeper wounds in the fight that had him imprisoned? Of course. Even after he found himself in the Lamb's shrine he still felt he was better than everyone else, his vessel included. Well, some things have to change, because there's something Narinder is not only the best, but... absolutely the worst. Unfortunately, the Lamb also isn't the champion in building relationships.

    Or: Narinder is waking up as a mortal after the final battle and he has to learn to function in the Cult. All while slowly falling for the Lamb.

    Summary

    The Lamb is sacrificed, the One Who Waits is freed, and it's all downhill from there. A thousand years later, consequences emerge: a second Crown rises, and it isn't content to let ancient betrayals lie. Death and Peace stand opposed, and if things are going to change, Narinder is going to have to change them. Even if those changes are in himself.
