Just Deserts (Aramis/Gloucester - Unicorn Overlord)

(( because their final rapport conversation made my brain go brrrrp until I wrote this spicy nsfw extended version. ENJOY! ))

Aramis—not Ludwig nor a prince—had approached him midday with a request. He should’ve known quite well by now that Gloucester said yes to anything he asked of him. And yet he asked, regardless.

“What plans do you have this evening, Ser Gloucester?”

Trivial matters, to be honest. The usual chores he busied himself with to pass the time and prepare for another battle. But Gloucester spoke nothing of that.

“None at all,” he offered in reply.

Perhaps Aramis needed insights regarding new members of the Liberation Army. Or assistance with testing the second blade he acquired. Whatever he desired, the answer was yes. Always yes. So long as he asked.

But what ulterior motives did Aramis possess with the likes of dinner? Not one shared with their peers, but in the nearby town, one of many restored by Alain’s decree.

Plates crowded the table: thinly sliced prosciutto, orange wedges sprinkled with sugar, fresh bread with knobs of butter, and a cast iron pot containing a velvety omelette and rice stew. The aroma alone left Gloucester salivating, but he hesitated. What interested him more than a hot meal was the man sitting opposite of him.

Unicorn Overlord round 2 complete. Tried a couple different teams, though a lot of generalized structures remained in place. Teams below the cut. I probably won't do yet another playthrough, I'm...kinda getting burnt out on it. But it's consumed enough of my life that I don't really know what I'll do next, so stay tuned I suppose.

Team 1: Alain/Liza, Eltolinde/Ridiel/Chloe Eltolinde was my choice for Ring of the Maiden this time through, and...look. This was not an effective choice overall. A big problem I have with the Ring of the Maiden is...1PP. This can be offset with something like a 1AP weapon and Amethyst Pendant, getting the 4/4 you want, but Eltolinde has access to no such weapon. For full 4/4, she needs Ruby/Sapphire, but there's not enough equipment for that. Ring of the Maiden is a generally mediocre choice on her. Not that she doesn't make it work, her AoE spam into repetitive Primus Edge is fantastic. Ridiel can freeze, which usually hits the armor knight trying to block her shots, setting up an uninterrupted AoE shot. Chloe was initially set to Active Gift on Eltolinde, but Eltolinde's own Elemental Impetus kinda ruins that plan. I just couldn't separate her from Ridiel. Liza was here because...honestly I just wasn't sure what to do. I kinda threw her in with the intent of healing Alain with a guard when he gets low, alleviating Eltolinde of healer duty. The team certainly worked, just like last run the Alain team basically went undefeated. I had slightly less fun with it this time, solely because I don't feel like I had the best sense of cohesion.

Team 2: Melisandre/Celeste/Umerus, Scarlett/Galadmir Speaking of. Melisandre's Meteor Strike can be good damage, but I found Aubin was not the solution I'd hoped for. Despite War Horn, her problems continued to interfere, and I find her utility much more useful than her damage. A surprising number of teams that pack high evasion and flying units are hard to deal with, and Melisandre is an excellent response to them. It's just that Meteor Strike does not feel like it's doing what it needs to do half the time. She also really wants protection late game. Without someone to shield her, she's relying on her ability to dodge, which is never an ideal approach. Umerus, like Ochlys, is kinda whatever. I don't really respect Feathersword as a class, even if I love Ochlys. Galadmir was attempting to freeze stall. Celeste continues to Fatal Dive, and is very good at it.

Team 3: Berengeria/Gloucester/Hilda, Morard/Primm Finally. Last run, I tried to pick up Berengeria's team late in the game, but they kinda didn't work so well and were behind on level, so they never caught up. This time they did, and as soon as we hit Bastoria, it was basically over. This team was crazy good. Berengeria's Eye of the Warrior Princess sets up the power boost on Gloucester, whose burn kicks off Berengeria's boosts when targets are afflicted. Sanguine Pursuit in particular just becomes ridiculous. Hilda with Aerial Wing contributes with her own Fire Breath. Primm is downright essential. Gloucester needs someone healing, or it becomes a massive problem for him, given the constant HP cuts he inflicts on himself. Morard is an odd one, and truthfully, I think I could've swapped him out, but he worked well and I never felt the need to. Morard got me to respect Berserkers. Mounting Charge into Grand Smash is fantastic. I actually gave him Knot of Ruin. In the back row, the -30 HP is minor, and low Initiative isn't a problem at all when he's the finisher. The +1AP is really nice, because it means his AP and PP considerations are already taken care of for you. With Lionheart and Mirrored Spectacles, he's a lot more accurate than I gave him credit for.

Team 4: Hodrick/Miriam, Yunifi/Tatiana/Yahna Minor changes, but the intent was to aim for freeze. It doesn't really work that well, if I'm being honest. While the Legionnaire/Sainted Knight combo feels right, I find it needs much more power in the back row than what we're actually using here. I dunno. Maybe the class combo just sounds good and I'm just unimpressed by their functional ability.

Team 5: Bryce/Monica/Bertrand, Ramona/Nina Alright, listen. Do I like Bertrand and Ramona? Not really. Bertrand is alright, though the split of one attack with high HP and one with low is really awkward, especially since the high HP one is only at the end of the battle. He's fine, if slightly uninteresting. Ramona, however, is not exactly my favorite. I think it's just misalignment. I felt like Ramona's HP recovery and PP restoration would be good on a more defensive frontline like this, but I kinda disagree with myself. Her sky-high initiative, combined with Extra Heal granting +30 initiative to an entire row, makes me feel like her best use is more offensive in nature. Like, swapping her in for Morard in the Berengeria team likely would've been tremendous, because now they're kicking up high initiative and HP recovery and she's popping in more PP for follow-ups. I do attribute many of her failures to using her wrong. Or at least, sub-optimally. She does die an awful lot, though. And her skills feel very busy without high AP/PP boosting items.

Class Change

#unicorn overlord #unicorn overlord gloucester #unicorn overlord aramis #...also hand practice I think I did pretty good here

[shuruzy]

the problem is that FOEs haven't been invented in Fevrith yet.

#unicorn overlord #unicorn overlord gloucester #unicorn overlord aramis #etrian odyssey #these classes fit them well especially aramis given his story lends well to a 'sovereign-turned-buccaneer' setup that eo3 could provide #tho despite having bucc/sov up there. i feel like aramis would subclass into (sword) gladiator actually #though i felt aramis would still take a sovereign pose variation instead of the buccaneer pose. sov pose is similar to his actual art #and gloucester... being a dark knight he'd likely subclass into zodiac for element/magic. freezing blow + ether charge goes nutty apparentl

arm study

#tho it feels weird to tag this as UO point blank. i'll just tag the character #unicorn overlord gloucester

i've ended up sketching Gloucester before the 10 other characters i was sure were gonna be my first post-release UO art

Hiya! I loved loved LOVED Just Deserts, and I wanted to know if you had any more fic ideas you were rolling around for Unicorn Overlord. I love your style and I'd love to see if any other story beats in the world call out to you ; u ;

Ok first off?? Literally me getting this ask:

You're too kind!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the fic, so thank you for reaching out and being so sweet 😭😭😭

As for future Unicorn Overlord fics, I have at least two I want to write! One explores Josef and Ilenia's relationship and kinda uses a similar past + present style that Just Deserts uses: flashbacks to their youth, how they grew closer, Ilenia becoming queen, etc., then present missing scene moments with Josef looking out for Alain and all the survivor's guilt around that 🥲

The other is a post-canon Gloucester-centric fic!! I really love him and the desert kids and just wanna dive into them rebuilding and making the desert their own again 🥺 there would be cameos from other Drakenhold characters, along with letters to and from Aramis. He might even pay his old friend a visit >:3c and said friend might give him a dance lesson ehehehe

I'd also love to write for Sharon/Ochlys, but right now I've got like, zero ideas 😭 also also intrigued by the idea of Chloe/Primm (bc I'm upset the resident cook and resident foodie Did Not Get A Rapport Together >:/) and I think they should enjoy food together and maybe smooch~

But yeah! That's all I've got for now, but I never know when inspiration will strike, so who knows what else I'll come up with!! Thanks a bunch for the ask as well 🥰💖
