«You're not my homeland anymore...
So what am I defending now»
I recently finished King of Scars and many non canon otps started living in my head lol I'm like 99.9% sure zoyalai is endgame (Leigh isn't daft enough to repeat darklina disaster) so that's why I decided to make this au love square type of situation. I say au because only Zoya meeting Juris in dragon form and "Princess Ehri" trying to kill "Nikolai" scenes are from the book. Honestly, I have no idea what this is except for 4 hot actors hahah I got inspired by the possibility of Nikolai/Zoya/Ehri after reading kos 2 sneak peek Leigh posted 👀 and dropped in Juris (RIP precious saint) because I loved his storyline with Zoya! Also, I wanted to use this heartbreaking song and to me personally it feels like each character can relate(in this au). Nikolai and Zoya can't be together. Ehri is with Nikolai, but he still has feelings for Zoya. And Juris knows Zoya feels strongly for Nikolai. I also wanted to show that even though Zoyalai love each other they choose their duty to Ravka and after some time find someone else they come to care for...
The story seems self- explanatory, but just in case: This is a star crossed lovers kind of video where both Zoya and Nikolai put Ravka first and try to ignore their feelings. Zoya makes it clear that there can never be anything between them and Nikolai marries. Princess Ehri isn't happy about being a pawn, but she made her bed (If you read kos you know what I mean). Although Nikolai is married he still shares a connection to Zoya and people cough Ehri & Juris cough can see it. Juris is being a mentor to Zoya and thinks she's squandering her potential on the "boy king" without realising it's more than that because he likes her, too. In the end Ehri can't take it anymore knowing that no matter how much he cares about her Nikolai still has feelings for Zoya, so she leaves. Nikolai and Zoya see each other one last time and decide they're going to try and make it work with their respective partners. I left Nikolai's part open ended... Does Ehri take him back? who knows lol
wow this got long! sorry? lol
