I've been Yorwrath's biggest advocate all along, but I think Valentina will always look at Aneurin and mourn what they lost, especially since it was Aneurin who broke with all protocol to bind her to him before the old gods. She'll have to lay with him as his queen, and it will be torture.
Yorwrath will feel it as well, because his baby brother, whom he's protected at all costs, is lost to him as well. As much as he could love Valentina, the ghost of Aneurin will always be a third party to their lovemaking, and I can't see them finding the same sort of passion between them. Maybe they'll create their own passionate bond, but there will always be a piece in the shape of Aneurin that's missing.

Because I've been miserable and depressed, I've been a brat. So, to apologize, pretties for DA:


(Now that's a lady elf...)
And one for Chrissy:


And because I love MY elves:

Just let me get past the Christmas thing in the shoutbox, and we'll see if I can't work up a little SpiderMorrigan/Zevran action, or perhaps a nicely romantic encounter with a drider...

As wicked as I am, you know you're enjoying this wild and crazy ride

ahhh, not that kinda work, I think he kept grenades in one

Actually, the song's not a common Christmas song here, but if you look at the first appearance of the NYPD Emerald Society band in the official video of the tune, the fellow playing the large drum with the band logo is my Uncle Tommy.

That's an awesome claim to fame! Me, I wouldn't want to be in the same room as Shane McGowan's teeth.

Ewe... worst save point ever.

Ok, so here's something no one is bringing up. Anny isn't the only one with magic and every time he and Val get it on, a magic bomb goes off. I wonder if it'll be enough to snap him back? If not, there would be no way in hell I would stay near the shell of my greatest love and watch him pretend to care.

Magical yumminess huh? Well can't argue with that

Hey now Bronx, not everyone here has an aversion to elves

Yep, no one wants him now that he's contaminated with unicorn cooties

*shakes head* I guess I'm the one keeping Aneurin Or rather the Shell of Kings

all yours sweetie, I got a yeti I'm partial to

Yeah, it'll definitely be bitter sweet but I think their shared loss will be that little seed that grows into love. I don't see aVal becoming his Queen, that would just eat at her until she loathed Anuerin. She's too independent, I like her with Yorwrath and maybe a threesome with Gwnn developes, but you're right, there will always be that hole in their hearts

Ok, gonna throw my two cents into the ring...Not sure if this is what Chrissy had in mind but this is how I see it:
Aneurin is dead, what has taken his place is some kind of mishmash of all the elf kings, sort of a genetic memory that was unlocked by the spell Caoilfionn and Islwyn; so Anuerin is still in there but he is now a small part of the whole and from the sounds of it a very subservient part, he Called Val a Dy'nn and the true Aneurin never would have, that would be like Magus calling me or Kari a whore, never happen. Now this hot tub party might bring the old Aneurin to the for front but it will never be him, not really and she's willing to try but I think the influence of the kings of the past will never let him see her as more than a pet. No, sorry but what they had is as dead as her old lover.
As for Yorwrath, I think you are all underestimating him. His abrasive manner was his way of keeping people at bay. He loved a human woman deeply and his father took that away from him, made him watch her die a horrible death, as well watching his son die. I couldn't even imagine what that would be like and honestly hope I never have to find out, but I know someone who does know and I watched him go through something quite similar. Yorwrath is just trying to never get close enough to anyone, especially a human female, so he never has to feel that pain again. But his walls are cracking, he didn't want to have rough sex with Val, he wanted to make love with her like his brother did and that tells me that no matter how he rails against it he's falling in love with her. I see the old Yorwrath resurfacing, the one his brother said was kind and even happy and when Val sees what's under that cold exterior I think she'll re-evaluate him and the two of them may find comfort in each others arms, a comfort that will grow into a deep love...I'm a romantic
As for Islwyn and the unicorn, gonna have to go with Kari on this one, they die slowly and screaming.
So I see a future with Yorwrath and Val presiding over a house full of little half elf half human rug rats, maybe not a happily ever after, but a bitter sweet ending.

Oh, believe me, I've thought Yorwrath was tolerable for a while now. But he's still not enough to heal Valentina's heart.
I won't argue with you on the rest, and not for fear of hormones. I'm menopausal -- I may you look like a romp in the park.

Remind me... never to get on your bad side

I don't know, Yowly is starting down the path to redemption, just a little nudge and he could almost be tolerable
I think Anny is a lost cause, even if he regains some of what he was, the memories would be too much for me, I'd resent that all I got back was a broken version of someone I loved - Icky and corinthian die, period. They took what she loved, broke it, and gave it back broken...they die slowly and screaming...hormones...

Sheepfuckers with mutton daggers.

It's definitely worse than him dying, because every time Valentina is with him, she'll remember the Aneurin she loves, and who loved her fiercely enough to bind himself to her. Nothing will ever replace that lost love, and I think it'll leave a very dark mark on her, too.

Exactly. The new Aneurin isn't enough, and neither is Yorwrath or Islwyn. Even all three won't be enough. Poor Valentina...

Hot, but sad. Poor Val. Even if Anny gets his memory back, it doesn't seem like he's gonna get it all back. I mean, maybe they can build from it, but it's still sad.

I say she dump Anurysm, Yowley has piqued my interest
maybe take Gwyn along for when Yowley is a butthead, the big guy seems to like her
