I was looking at some fanfics and like, has anyone else ever wondered what caused the gradual change from Baldwin x Balian slash with Balian being the most popular character to Baldwin x female OC with Baldwin being literally the only character the fandom crushes on over the course of the past 19 years lol (Also for those who don't know there used to be a livejournal blog solely dedicated to Balian slash)

I’ve been scrolling through the Kingdom of Heaven posts and haven’t seen a single person say that Balian looks hot?
Like the dude is literally played by Orlando Bloom and is supposed to look good, but everyone’s simping over Baldwin the Leper King instead??
Absolutely beautiful. Legendary even. The most tumblr thing ever. 10/10

Kingdom of Heaven STORY IDEA
This post goes out to all the Kingdom of Heaven fans that write ffs, especially about our King - Baldwin IV
Now this idea may not be historically correct but I still need someone to make a story out of it. I'm talking A LONG ASS story with many chapters because I'm somehow a hopeless romantic when it comes to Baldwin.
So here's the story:
(Please use Y/N for Tiberias' daughter and not some name)
We start off long before Baldwin was born, when Tiberias and his wife arrive in the Kingdom of Heaven. Later on they have a daughter together, around the same time Baldwin was born. Tiberias already has a close relationship with the royal family at this time because of his wise knight shit. At some point Tiberias' wife dies and he has to raise their daughter on his own and he starts taking her to the palace where her and young Baldwin would often play together and develope a friendship. At some point Baldwin's illness is discovered. The priests and higher ranked people try to find a wife for him asap in order to keep the bloodline but every woman kindly rejects, scared of the illness so they just accept Baldwin's lonely fate. His illness is slowly taking over his body and Tiberia's daughter decides to take care of him, not being scared of him no matter how disfigured he looks. But when Baldwin notices that he's slowly developing feelings for her and that his face looks more and more sinister and his limbs are slowly becoming useless, he becomes kinda distant because he's scared to confess his feelings.
Remember that scene in the movie when Baldwin asks Balian to marry Sybilla? That's when he confesses his feelings. So let's imagine Tiberias' daughter is there too and when the men are done talking Baldwin sends off Balian and Tiberias but wants Y/N to stay. "No, Y/N. Not you. I need to talk to you. Stay... please." Or something like that. And we all know that Baldwin knew that Jerusalem was doomed because of his sister and that's why his confession goes something like:
"You know there is one more thing I could have done to save Jerusalem and its people... and I'm now regretting that I haven't done this."
Y/N: "And that would be?"
Baldwin: "Making you my wife"
And then he goes on with his cheesy romantic medieval confession. And Y/N confesses too bla bla bla and she then even takes off his mask and kisses him on the corner of his lips (one side of his mouth wasn't that damaged, remember?).
On his death day she takes care of his wounds one last time.
Make their last conversation HEARTWRENCHING. I WANNA CRY.
After his death Y/N seeks comfort in her father. Make it a wholesome daughter - father relationship (idk how to do that because I never had a father lmaoooo)
How the story ends is for you to decide. Maybe Y/N goes to Cyprus with Tiberias because she cannot take it to watch the Kingdom fall that Baldwin created and led with so much love and respect for the people.
You can also add some suggestive themes. For example Baldwin dreaming about getting intimate with Y/N because he's just that touch-deprived.
So yeah if anyone would be willing to take on this idea - you're more than welcome to do so and I'd DEFINITELY read it. I personally am not good at writing GOOD stories because English isn't my first language and I would ruin the story by using "basic" English. And since Kingdom of Heaven takes place during medieval times you need to write such stories in "fancy" English.
Anyways. I had to get this off my semi-autistic mind or else I would have gone CRAZY.
I just hope this post reaches the right people🙏

Baldwin IV x reader Angst!
Warnings: Angst, Guy says a bad word
Tumblr media
///////////////////////////////////////
After three years of being married to your love Baldwin IV, he asks you to a private chat
"My dear, you wanted to speak to me" you said popping your head into the room.
"Yes I do" Baldwin replied quietly with a sigh leaving his covered mouth.
Sitting in front of your husband you give him a gentle smile, as a sign for him to tell you what was the matter.
" (Name) we need to get an annulment " Baldwin said
At that moment you could feel your heart drop to your stomach.
"What, why?" You asked, voice cracking.
"I can not tell you, but it is a must" he spoke trying to hold back his tears.
"Baldwin, please, I'm sorry if I did anything wrong, I beg of you, please don't do this to us" you said loudly tears that were once filling your eyes, spilling over your cheeks.
Oh how he wanted to wipe them away and tell you to stay with him forever, but he couldn't. He didn't have many years left and he knows it. He doesn't want you having to live with an ill man until he dies.
He has to let you go now, so when he dies, you are no longer in love with him, and don't have to experience the anguish of losing your love.
He knows you will hate him for this, but it's the best, he keeps reassuring himself
"I'm very sorry (name)" he said getting up.
"The guards will escort you into your new home, that I've provided and you will get money monthly from us. Baldwin said, leaving you.
Watching your numb face, with tears streaming down your cheeks hurt him very much he tried to not show any reaction.
The moment Baldwin closes his bedrooms door he fell to his knees and started sobbing uncontrollably.
What had he done, he let go of the one person that actually cared for him. Was it selfish to keep them or was it selfish to let them go?.. He couldn't figure out.
Baldwin then heard a knock at his door. "My king, is everything alright? " it was Tiberias, the man who practically raised Baldwin. Baldwin got up and opened the door. Before Tiberias could understand what was going on, he was embraced by an anguished Baldwin sobbing in his arms.
"Ahh! Ti.. Tiberias... I.. I did a terrible thing! " is what Tiberias could make out of his kings sobbing.
Tiberias guided Baldwin to his bed, closing the door behind him.
"Baldwin, what did you do? " Tiberias questioned, worry clear in his voice.
"I.. I left (name) Tiberias I left them!) Is what Baldwin said still sobbing.
"Wha- , why would you do such a thing?" Tiberias said.
"They deserve better than me, Tiberias *hic* they shouldn't have to live married to a *hic*leper. Baldwin responded still crying.
"Oh, Baldwin, you poor poor kid" "You know that (name) loves you more than anyone, no matter if you were ill or not" Tiberias said trying to calm his sad king.
"But.. But- "*cough cough* Baldwin was interrupted by a coughing attack, the pain he felt was too much for his poor body to handle.
"Baldwin!" Tiberias exclaimed loudly.
Tiberias got up and called the guards standing outside to go and get the physicians.
*time skip*
After a few hours of the physicians caring for the king, he was finally asleep in his bed. His mask was now off. Revealing his sad face to the old man sitting next to him (Tiberias)
Your POV:
"Baldwin, please, I'm sorry if I did anything wrong, I beg of you, please don't do this to us" you said loudly tears that were once filling your eyes, spilling over your cheeks.
Your love, now ex husband stood up and told you something, that you could not focus enough to hear.
What does he mean divorce, did your late nights caring for him mean nothing, did the poetry you wrote him mean nothing, did the soft kisses you would leave on his scarred face mean nothing? Was it all for nothing?
After what felt like hours sitting on the side of the table, two men came in, they were Guy de Lusigana and Balian de Ibelin.
"Come now, you need to pack your bags so we can escort you to your new house" said Guy rather harshly.
After getting no reaction from you, he got angry and grabbed you by the armpit pulling you up.
"Listen here, you little bitch, you are no longer the kings, partner so what I say, you do understand!? " Guy yelled at you.
You got up and packed your bags, earning a pitiful look from Balian.
*Time skip*
Your bags were now packed, and you were being escorted to your house by the two men.
"You will be staying here" Balian said dropping one of your bags on the floor of the new house. It was small but it will suffice for an unwed person like you.
Balian and Guy brought in your last bags and left. Balian gave you one sad glance before leaving, whilst Guy didn't even give you a glance.
You looked around you, and out of the window, two birds were there cleaning each other. You let out a small sad laugh, thinking. Is that how people saw me and Baldwin..
Tears were once again streaming down your face, you laid on the floor and slept there for the night, not even a mattress under you.

Do you have a favorite KoH fanfic? 😁
Tbh, I haven't read that many 😅, but I have run across several poignant oneshots I've thoroughly enjoyed.
In no particular order:
"Everything and Nothing" by glitterburn
"unmasked" by misura
"God's Will" by Joelcoxriley
"Ash Wednesday" by Space-Case-Writer13
And this one for sheer crackfic hilarity:
"737 Coming Out of the Sky" by IncurableNecromatic
Unfortunately, my own writing and irl stuff keeps me from dedicating enough time to read the longer fics, but I hope to someday.
