Isat Isabeau - Tumblr Posts
Fuck it. *Makes the old woman cry*
Isabeau turns pale. “Y-You and Sif…”
“Mm~hmmmm?”
“Are you—um. Were you two—”
“—lovers?” the stranger gasps, clutching their pearls. “Are you asking if my sweet little Stardust and I have been carrying on a secret affair, right under your noses? Holding hands and stealing glances and, and… braiding each other’s hair under the stars?” They take one look at Isabeau and burst out laughing. “Oh, don’t look like that. I'm only teasing. I don’t even have hair! And Siffrin isn’t fit to be anyone’s lover. They’re more like my… hamster? My helpless little guy! I want to put him in a tank and feed them sunflower seeds! But he’s much too messed-up to date. I do have some standards.”
Isabeau bristles. “Sif’s not messed up.”

Fun little doodle thing using dialogue from the fic Memories of Defeat by @sixpossumsinatrenchcoat
You know, for like… 75% of the game I thought Isabeau was sleeveless.
Please ramble about the Au I’m so curious
Well, since you asked so nicely~
(This isn't proof read. Forgive the incoherence)
I've just been calling this Traveling Companions Au. So basically, Odile meets Siffrin way before the events of the story, not long after the whole Island thing. So, when they're about eleven-ish and she's in her 30s.
And now Odile has this child on her hands who
Can barely communicate. (Going off the assumption that Siffrin was already taught some Vaugardian when he was young since the countries were so close)
Remembers nothing about where their from.
And seemingly just showed up out of the mist.
At this point, Odile has already begun traveling the world. So even if she was in the mood to take a random child in (which, she very much isn't) she isn't in any position to give them a stable home. So, she leaves them at the first orphanage she finds and that's that, isn't it?
Of course not. Because Siffrin just. Keeps. Finding her, having latched onto her like a duckling to the first thing it sees. And eventually she just kind of caves and stops trying to get rid of them. She understands what it's like to feel like you don't belong anywhere, after all.
She's not their mother, never tries to be their mother. She probably just calls them her ward until their old enough to reasonably be called a travel companion. Obviously she cares about him. She just. Never tells him how much she cares about him. In direct words.
And yes, while cute kid Siffrin stuff is all well and good. What I really wanna explore with this AU is how it affects the main story.
Sif grows up with a drier sense of humor. Though puns are still a thing. Odile will never be free from the puns.
Siffrin probably? Learns about her whole Familytale quest, but never pries into the context until the Friendship quests arc.
Self-esteem issues are still a thing, just in a different flavor.
He's definitely a lot more comfortable with making fun of Odile than he is in canon. Though it goes both ways. They've got over a decades worth of dirt on each other.
And if Odile was perceptive before, imagine how much easier to read Siffrin is going to be now? She's known them for like 2/3s of their life she's definitely going to notice somethings going on in most of their loops.
Mirabelle and Isabeau get two party members for the price of one in this AU! And with the way Odile and Siffrin behave around each other they assume they've been traveling together for a while.
One day, Mirabelle actually thinks to ask how long they've known each other. And when Odile casually replies, "oh... fourteen years? Fifteen?" She and Isabeau are baffled because ??? Siffrin's in his mid-20s????
At one point, Mirabelle or Isabeau mentions that Odile must be like a mother to Siffrin, and the absolutely disconcerted look Siffrin gives them in response is enough to make them never bring it up ever again.
So yeahhhhhh those are my rambles. Maybe I'll write a fic about this. Maybe I'll just release this into the wild and let people do what they want with it. Who knows?

Not much changes in this case.
Odile definitely susses out that Isabeau likes Siffrin before he tells her. Because... Isa isn't exactly the best at being subtle about his big fat crush. Though, Isabeau may be a bit more hesitant to actually share it with her in this au.
Odile approves! She's a bit more encouraging/pushy for Isabeau to just confess already because she knows how oblivious Siffrin can be. She tells Isa that he's going to have to spell it out for them or they simply will not notice. She's also teases Isabeau a lot more about it. In front of Siffrin. Because of their aforementioned obliviousness.
In one of the bathroom convos, Isabeau asks Odile how she'd feel about him dating Siffrin. Odile basically just says that Siffrin is an adult and Isabeau doesn't need her permission. She also says that she'll save the Shovel Talk for when Isabeau actually confesses.
"Ah yes, me, my partner and their creepy broken porcelain doll." - Isabeau, probably

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: In Stars And Time (Video Game) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Isabeau/Siffrin (In Stars And Time) Characters: Isabeau (In Stars and Time), Siffrin (In Stars And Time) Additional Tags: Fluff, Post-Canon, Wings, Non-Sexual Intimacy, Comfort, pure self-indulgent fluff, Not Beta Read, I know the context of the song this fic is named after but we are going to ignore it Summary:
““You know, um. During the loops, I considered… getting rid of them. I told myself that if I ever got out, I’d visit the nearest House and Change, just so that I wouldn’t have them any more.”
The idea troubles Isabeau, he can understand getting rid of body parts that just don’t fit you anymore. But… “Why?”
“They just got a bit tedious?” Siffrin shrugs. “It’s not like I can fly with them, I don’t have hollow bones. And they’re… small. Smaller than they should be, I think.
“And. The King had– has? Wings too. It didn’t feel great to share something like that with him. I guess I just felt ashamed of them.”
The King’s wings had been massive in his Wishcraft powered form. They’d been squished up against either wall of the chamber from their sheer size, feathers ruffled and unhealthy-looking. Despite what Siffrin said about needing hollow bones, Isabeau felt like maybe, if the King had wanted to, he could’ve taken off into the sky.” …
Or: People from The Country have wings and Isabeau is determined to learn how to take care of his partner.
Every time you refuse to draw Isabeau's chin scruff, a Loop loses its twinkle.
The idea of Loop being jealous about Isafrin not because they're envious of Siffrin getting to be with Isabeau, but because they're envious of Isabeau getting to be with Siffrin is an idea that is so, so yummy to me.
Bonus points if Siffrin thinks it's the other way around.
Lost ugly cat lmfaooo
I finally finished Isat lore and this was all I could imagine during act 5 during the you know what off screen
Hi, I haven't posted in an incredibly long time. But I made some Fanart for In Stars and Time :)
... and I've got some doodles of the main characters I also want to share :)
I played it on switch, and beat the entire game in roughly four days. Then beat the prologue the next day. Needless to say it has consumed my brain.
