Family holiday portrait staged in front of the mantle of the main salon of Chateau Greystone. Gisèle and Ysayle, both in elegant sleeveless gowns of red and blue respectively, sit primly in chairs beside each other. Standing behind them, from left to right: Zenos (officially a ward of the House) in a tasteful off the shoulder sheathe dress in dark red, Haurchefant in a dark red suit with cravat, Aymeric in a regal blue and white gown, Estinien in a white and red suit and Stephanivien in Haillenarte green and white. A Starlight tree and wreath round out the festive atmosphere.

From the Royal House of Ishgard to yours, have a very Merry Starlight!

Elezen in swimwear cuddling on a moogle pool float. Estinien has his arms around Gisele and Ysayle; the ladies are holding hands while he playfully and not-so-subtly squeezes Ysayle's boob. Haurchefant is in the water propping himself up on the edge of the float, smiling warmly at them.

Zenos in a black vintage one piece with red bottomed high heels. Her legs are crossed while she leans back contentedly on a beach chair. Aymeric is leaning over the back of it, reaching down to gently stroke her hair with a coy smile.

Haurchefant sitting on the edge of the pool with his legs dangling in the water. Stephanivien sits on his lap, straddling his legs with an arm wrapping around his shoulder, smiling down at him and gently stroking his cheek. Haurchefant is grinning up at him, grabbing a fist full of butt (as usual).

Aymeric carrying Gisele in his arms, leaning in to kiss her cheek. Ysayle is on the opposite site, smiling as she leans in to kiss Gisele's other cheek, her hand cupping her chin.

happy moonfire~

Six elezen having an orgy upon a very large bed. Ysayle is laid back with Gisele's face buried between her spread thighs. Aymeric takes Gisele from behind, while Haurchefant does so to him, kissing his shoulder. Stephanivien lays stretched out beside Ysayle, tenderly stroking her ear, staring deeply into her eyes with heavy lids while Estinien lifts his leg and fucks him sideways.

Closeup of Aymeric's long, painted nails pressed against Gisele's back, guiding her in service.

Closeup of Haurchefant squeezing Aymeric's chest, his eyes shut in repose. He is utterly lost in her.

A dark skinned Black Elezen woman (Gisèle), nude but for a black leather collar, kneels before Aymeric, who is seated on his throne fully clothed in sapphire blue silk trimmed with gold and wearing his crown. Gisèle's head is bowed, and Aymeric's gauntleted hands are placed tenderly on her shoulder and the rose in her hair. She bears her anguissette's marque to the viewer, an intricate back tattoo of a winged sword with blossoms, celestial symbols, and Nald'thal's scales. He is leaning down to her, whispering something indistinct.

that which yields is not always weak.

A pair of brown skinned Elezen in beautiful strapless gowns; the left is Aymeric in royal blue, her hair worn longer, and she has a delicate teardrop around her neck on a gold chain. Gisele is beside her in shimmering pink, her hair half up, with the Fortemps crest on a delicate pearl choker. They have their arms around each other's waists, gazing off to their right at something or someone offscreen, smiling softly as if they are sharing the same thought about it.

radiant royalty

At the Skysteel Manufactory, Stephanivien sits at the table pointing insistently at an open book, discussing some point of magitek theory. Gisèle is sitting on the table in front of him, listening intently as she points to another passage, a gentle hand on his shoulder. Her black and red jumpsuit is very risque.

Dutch angle shot of Gisèle playfully tapping Stephanivien's nose with a gloved finger. He smiles at her, teasing at opening her jumpsuit fully.

Half clothed, Gisèle leans back against the table while Stephanivien kneels before her, eating her out.

Fully nude except for her collar, Gisèle straddles Stephanivien's lap as he takes her seated in a chair.

"You are working far too hard tonight, minou..."

#gipose #gisnsfw #TheElfpile #gisteph

#theelfpile I should mention how she met Stephanivien tho bc she never would have entered Skysteel of her own volition lmao. But Haurche knew he sought a mage v knowledgeable in aetherology to help him develop his MCH theories and asked Gisèle. She agreed to help for Haurche’s sake, tho dubious. 😅

Gisèle lounging on a grand chair wearing a red velvet bustier trimmed with rosettes. Haurchefant is knelt before her, gripping her thigh as he gently kisses the inside of it. Her other leg is draped over his shoulder, and she smiles down at him, with her fingers gently running though his hair.

i shall make of you an altar, my love

I realized I don’t really talk abt the specific estisteph dynamic within #TheElfpile but it’s endlessly fascinating to me bc much like gistinien it’s a pairing that on paper absolutely should not work but they are fiercely devoted to each other and their bond began when steph went w them to the aery

Gisele, Aymeric, and Stephanivien in matching long sleeved two piece swimwear, each in their signature colors of red, blue, and green respectively. They are sassy posing on the beach.

c'mon baby, let's get away

One of my other OCs, Mother Sephrenia, performed both Ishgardian weddings (the secret elopement and then the big public one later). BUT for Gisèle/Ysayle/Haurchefant on the First, Runar performed their handfasting a la Night’s Blessed.

Ahewann performed the Gisvrtra ceremony.

#TheElfpile #gisvrtra

#TheElfpile clarity: Ysayle is only legally married to Gisèle, Estinien, and Haurche as of 7.0, being Aymeric’s mistress per Ishgardian law. She did not elope w them in SB nor do the big wedding. She was handfasted w Gisèle and Haurche in Slitherbough and married Estinien at the end of EW in RAH.

Hi! I’m Aurora and my WoL is Gisèle, my Grey Warden from That Dragon Game who died in the Ultimate Sacrifice ending but then awakened on Source with amnesia in Nald’s Reflection. She’s in a poly marriage w Haurchefant, Ysayle, Estinien, Aymeric and Stephanivien aka #TheElfpile. Many other ships too.

Gisèle throws open the doors of Chateau Greystone and #TheElfpile hosts a big Starlight celebration for people from the rest of the Firmament and across Foundation and the Brume. Haurchefant is Saint of Nymeia and hands out toys Steph makes. Gisèle plays music and tells stories. There’s a huge feast

The annual royal Starlight portrait, featuring the members of the Royal House of Borel. King Aymeric is seated in the center, wearing a royal blue velvet gown. Behind his chair stands Prince Stephanivien in Haillenarte green, with his hand affectionately upon Aymeric's shoulder. Princess Gisele and Lady Ysayle flank them on each side, in fur trimmed gowns contrasting black, white with Fortemps red. Princes Haurchefant and Estinien also wear Fortemps red, though Estinien's suit is much simpler. Behind Gisele stands Monsieur Galvus, Ward of the House Royal, in an elegant silk blouse of scarlet and gold in the Hingan style. He wears red roses in his hair in subtle honor of Gisele.

on this, the longest night
the House Royal of Ishgard wish all a happy starlight.

Facts abt #TheElfpile

1. Steph gave Gisèle her tattoos. He inked her w the machine he invented for his own.

2. They secretly eloped, sans Ysayle, near the start of SB. It was Haurche’s idea.

3. Aymeric made floriography coded bouquets for Haurche every day he was comatose. Gisèle preserved them.

I found this oldie but goodie just now and I still love it soooo much like ear!! kissing!!!!! #TheElfpile

#gislore even v light bdsm themes seem to creep into the most vanilla w gisèle/aymeric and in fic her humiliation kink is served a lot by him. it kind of tracks bc he’s the most overtly dominant of #TheElfpile aside from ysayle.

gishaurche have a LOT of shower sex, even A Warmer Hearth had it.

the first time Stephanivien kissed Gisèle it was after they won the tourney at Camp Dragonhead and he literally ran over, picked her up, spun her around, and then kissed her with tongue in front of literally everyone. he didn’t realize the last part btw

and it was his love confession

#TheElfpile

yeah…

#TheElfpile

Gisèle and Ysayle have a really cool fire + ice combo actually 🥹

#TheElfpile

Most of the time #TheElfpile orders with the understanding that everyone is eating off each other’s plates anyway so it’s nbd. Everyone is intimately familiar with everyone else’s preferences and intolerances.

It’s funny but it’s slowly getting that way with Zenos too, which is wild considering.

Gisèle is absurd w everyone but especially Haurchefant bc he’s just as bad as her, they’re like a pair of gross teenagers 😭 Aymeric tries to be circumspect and dignified at some function right. and then she’ll just go sit on his lap and twirl his hair and he’s mortified

#TheElfpile

I have gotten a lot of followers recently with the big exodus and some of you may not be familiar with Giseleverse, but this is not an "au". Haurchefant and Ysayle deadass survived HW in her actual canon. He was in a coma for several weeks, but woke up and recovered to join the Scions.

Gisèle’s leather fetish is almost entirely Haurchefant’s fault (and Ysayle’s). Before she got involved with him, she liked wearing it purely for aesthetic reasons, but his kink quickly became her own. 😆

Also corsets. There’s a reason she specializes in making them.

Posing dramatically in the Aery from left to right: Stephanivien aims his gun, Gisèle hovers behind the others casting an Astrologian spell, Haurchefant stands ready with sword and shield drawn, and Estinien crouches in the front wielding Gae Bolg in a ready stance.

There was a manner of poetry in it: that old, cherished ways steeped in a millennia of tradition should be so aided by new ones viewed with so much suspicion, there to face Ishgard's deadliest foe. But as we stood before Nidhogg, I daresay somewhat else shifted, beside tradition.

Gisèle and Aymeric as a Succubus and Reaper. She has large, red batlike wings and long, curved horns. Aymeric wears a long leather coat of deep blue, wielding a rose-crowned scythe.

and the devil in a black dress watches over
my guardian angel walks away
life is short and love is always over in the morning
black wind, come carry me far away
