Lute the Jester

4-27-22

All those horny Jester X King posts got to my head and I made another Fable AU and OC. Even though technically Jesters would have probably well fallen out of fashion by the events of Fable 3, it’s fantasy so.. I’ll do what I want haha. It was originally just meant to be horny and fun when I came up with the character and foist him on King Logan, but nothing is ever that simple with that man. It didn’t take long for things to turn bitter sweet and…. I’ve yet to get to the horny bits e.e Oh well.

Anyway, here’s Lute. They discarded their name and pronouns when they became a performer. Picking up their new handle based on their most prominent skill. Their services were ‘gifted’ to Sparrow and their family a couple years before Logan became King, so they were all fairly young when Lute came around. Lute themself was similar in age to Logan when they began performing for the Hero family. They loved playing and singing for the young siblings and got along very well with the whole family.

They also develop a crush on Logan that they know is impossible. They keep it to themself for years, knowing that performing for him, and joking with him, and being a confidant is the closest that he’ll ever be allowed to be. So he does everything he can to retain his position, constantly expanding their skills and training their body for acrobatic performances in addition to his musical and witty talents, as well as becoming well-versed in affairs of state. Spending all his spare time becoming irreplaceable to the newly crowned monarch.

On Logan’s end, he and the jester became fast friends due to their similarity in age and that they both enjoy music. Lute “coincidentally” knew how to play all of Logan’s favorite songs, and they actively encouraged him to sing or play along. Spending time playing together and joking around. There may have also been some clandestine 'fooling around’. Alas, youth is the same no matter where you go. However, as it became clear he would likely have to take on the responsibilities of ruler sooner, rather than later, the ever dutiful eldest son began to pull away from Lute in an effort to appear more mature, and began spending more time in burying himself in his studies and physical training.

Lute stays faithful and loyal to Logan throughout his reign. Even after Logan’s encounter with the Crawler in Aurora changed him so dramatically. The changes only seem to embolden Lute in trying to take even better care of him. Placing themself as often as possible as someone who can be turned to in even the darkest night.

That’s about all I have for them now. Hopefully I’ll draw some more of these two, cause I find the dynamic really interesting (and desperately tragic). Oh! Also, they didn’t start drawing the teardrop in their make up until after Logan came back from Aurora. That’s a fun tidbit.
