Wriothesley x Cannibal reader/oc hcs because I had this idea for days
Also, this somehow progressed into a Yandere fic with reader/oc being the Yandere, soo, read warnings carefully.
…totally didn’t get inspired by Kesha’s song Cannibal-
Warnings: Spoiler for Archon Quest 4.1, blood and gore mentions, usage of they/them pronouns for reader/oc insert, obsessive tendencies from assistant’s side, organ trafficking in a sense, implied? kidnapping, drugging, love drugging, stockholm syndrome, reader/oc is a literal maniac
Okay, so remember when the Traveler and Paimon were sent to the Fortress of Meropide to try and find that ginger man or whatever.
And during their time there, they come across a rumour circulating around that there were cannibals running around the pipes eating people?
While this was debunked at the end as a ploy by the trio in prison who were helping Childe with his escape, what if…
And it wasn’t just any random inmate or guard.
It was the Administrator’s very own assistant.
They would listen to Wriothesley rant about how he had to deal with more of the more pesky and annoying criminals. Claiming that if only they would just disappear so that he could focus on other matters.
Whoever Wriothesley complained about, the assistant would always make sure that particular inmate was gone by the end of the week. No traces. In fact, the inmate’s belongings were gone as well.
They always, always somehow found a way to evade detection. Wriothesley questioning them in a panic because of the sudden disappearances? The assistant will just calmly reassure the Administrator that they probably just escaped, and are most likely dead.
Eventually over time, the rumors spread. And the prisoners stopped acting out of line for fear of being the cannibal’s next meal.
It works. But that’s only for the inmates.
Corrupt guards? Gone. Those who have been trashing the place just to abuse their authority over the inmates? Poof. Those in power who try to boss their subordinates around? Oh dear, their missing.
Eventually, nothing happened to the Fortress Of Meropide’s people anymore. At least it gave less work for Wriothesley.
But what of the assistant’s cannibalistic tendencies? Hah. Well, they never actually had much of an addiction for it until they accidentally got blood in their mouths. They got hooked on its taste. After killingkidnapping the unlucky person, they would usually consume the parts they deem most delicious.
After that, eyes, hearts, lungs, kidneys and the organs that are able to provide people with a better life are donated. The hospital never questioned the assistant. After all, it wasn’t that uncommon for prisoners to perish in prison.
But in the end, the assistant only did it just for Wriothesley. No other intention. They just wanted the Administartor to be less stressed.
They loved their boss. They want the best for the Adminstartor, and no one has any idea how far they are willing to go for Wriothesley. Absolutely no idea.
Of course, they know that if Wriothesley found out about his horrific deeds, they would be stripped of their honor and thrown into the cells just like any other inmate. That’s why they went to such lengths to ensure that their lovely boss would never find out.
They knew that Wriothesley ever found out, they would never see him again under friendly pretenses. Eventually, the paranoia would get to the assistant. One day, they’d place a simple but potent drug in Wriothesley’s tea. The man could never resist any, so when he finally realizes what happened, it was too late.
No one knew what happened to Their Grace. But they never questioned the fact that the assistant took over role of Administrator. It was a expected, being the man’s assistant after all, that they were most capable of taking over.
But what did happen to Wriothesley? No one knew. The assistant had carefully carved out their entire plan. Their Grace had decided that it was best for someone else to take over for them.
Meanwhile, Wriothesley was in the assistant’s house. No matter how hard he struggled, the house was escape proof. No matter how many insults Wriothesley threw at them. No matter how hard the man refused to eat any food or even tea prepared for him.
It hurts at first, but the assistant knows that the man will come to love him eventually. One day, Wriothesley, the man they’ve loved for so long, would finally understand how much effort they had put because they wanted him. Maybe then, he’ll finally accept his fate.
Wriothesley will finally realize one day that their darling assistant loved them! That’s why they went as far as to take care of those pesky inmates and inefficient subordinates! That’s why they went as far as to chain Wriothesley in a room that they had designed and prepared just for his liking! They were his one and only assistant after all…
If not? Well, chemistry and a bit of magic can help with this particular problem in no time..~ They’ll figure out a way to make Wriothesley ingest it, and he will love them in no time! There isn’t much difference, it just speeds up the process! They know that Wriothesley loved them as well, why not help him realize those feelings sooner?
Wriothesley will learn to enjoy his new life. His new life of being pampered, loved and cared for by his darling assistant, they know he will, soon enough.
I’ve always loved you,Your Grace. You only need me, and I only need you~
