I need you to know. That I WOULD kill and die for Mael.
Don't inflate his ego

Always wanted to do a what-if fully corrupted Mael, and what better opportunity to do so than Isgarren's shady little experiments? Introducing codename "Harbinger", also known as Sun Eater, Fenrir, Shadowlord, Bleak Raven.
As a failsafe in case of the Commander ever losing himself to the demon magic he wields, the Wizards ran a simulation of the worst possible future - orchestrating the deaths of all his loved ones, to the point he finally lost himself to madness. All in all, standard fractal business - except, whoops, the real Mael was never supposed to learn of Sun Eater's existence! And Sun Eater was never supposed to learn it wasn't in the real Tyria! Oh no... what's this about scientific hubris...? A little fucking around and finding out, perhaps?
And oh no! Is the former Pact Commander (the real deal) now plotting to assassinate Isgarren as well as trick the Wayfinder, Maolmuire, into slaying him in turn to prevent the possibility of a very dark future? Maybe.
His mental state hasn't been the best in quite some time and this is the straw that broke the camel's back. Except it was several bricks thrown at his head.
#OUUUGHHHH HE'S SO UNBELIEVABLY COOL#every version of Mael can fit sooo much misery in them it's crazy#this one got all of it 10 times over#this shadowy form of his is soooo juicy#an amazing game boss he would be indeed#gw2#guild wars 2#gw2 soto#secrets of the obscure#soto#soto spoilers#gw2 commander#gw2 necromancer

End of the Line
"A lifeless mannequin, dancing on strings. Each string spoke to him in the thousand hushed voices of magic. It hurt. Each string begged him to usher his body back together. The Alchemy danced behind his eyes. A silver serpent, swallowing its own tail. It fucking hurt. It isn't over, it said. You made it so." "You killed your death, now live with it."
[Post-EoD drabble, 3k words, just exploring the consequences of people finding out my Commander a is a lich. Part of joint canon with @commanderteag (Maolmuire used with permission.) Angst, tw for decapitation, swearing, fantasy racism. I took some very mild creative liberties with the Pact status and the Void.]
