It's shocking just how little I've actually done today. FFXV soulmate fic be upon ye and YES this is the reason I made that post that got so many notes a while back. @sailforvalinor
Noctis didn’t really realize the significance of his soulmate mark until long after he knew who it was.
He’d been in Tenebrae with Luna. Eight years old, making crowns out of sylleblossoms. Only for him to realize— “Hey, I know this flower!”
He’d turned his hand over to show Luna the dark blue mark etched into his lower forearm—the same flowers scattered before them. “Dad says it’s my soulmark, and that when I meet someone with the same one, it means I’ll be with them forever.”
Luna had looked startled—which he’d thought was weird. After all, she knew lots more than he did. Shouldn’t she understand soulmarks?
As if in answer to his confusion, she’d wordlessly turned over her own wrist, to show the matching mark. And then smiled, eyes knowing, like they always were.
At the time, Noctis hadn’t been able to think of anything better. Luna was amazing—why wouldn’t he want to be with her forever?
And then, everything fell apart. He and his dad barely escaped Tenebrae with their lives, and Luna? She was still there. Without him.
That wasn’t how soulmates were supposed to work.
Noctis had clung to the idea, fiercely, that this meant he’d see her again. That she would have to be okay, because they were supposed to be together forever. She couldn’t leave without him.
Knowing she was alive, thanks to Umbra, helped. As did the letters they exchanged. Noctis just had to wait until they could be together.
As he grew up and learned more about soulmates, he began to see the flaws in his logic. Some soulmates died far too soon after meeting. Rarely, if ever, did they die at the same time.
There would always be one left behind.
But that wasn’t going to be the way things were with him and Luna. He knew it was childish, and he didn’t tell anyone else. But forever meant forever, and he wasn’t breaking that promise. No matter how long it took to get there.
I'm rewatching Project Hail Mary and started thinking about your Eternity fic during the funeral scene, so I'm here to request random information about your fic, if you feel like it!! (And if you don't then just tell me about something that makes you happy!)
HI I SAW THIS YESTERDAY AND FORGOT TO REPLY 😅😭
anyway some random information about Eternity: Olesya is firstnamed the entire story because she's the POV character and that's how she thinks of herself, naturally. Grace is still solely referred to by his last name for thematic purposes and also because Olesya is the POV character and she's only ever known him as Dr. Grace!
another fun tidbit is that Olesya starts to suspect that Grace didn't come on the mission willingly before he ever remembers that fact, and because by that point in the story (around the halfway mark, if I've outlined/mapped the basics right) she's very Protective Little Sister™ about Grace she makes a very pointed video log in which she records it specifically for Stratt and flips her off. hgnsngnsnngs. and then she has to carry on and pretend to both Grace and Rocky that nothing is wrong even though she's like. deeply bothered by all those implications
Okay but I LOVE the way names can play into writing it's FUN!!! The way different people perceive and can be perceived!! I'm playing with that in multiple WIPs right now and I love it
Also she's valid for that we love the older sister vibes!! But DANG that would be rough to carry, poor Olesya
My dad's watching parts of Jaws right now and all I can think about is the fact that my knowledge of this movie is limited to two names, solely from the Marissa Meyer beach rom com I read a few years ago
I know I've said this before. But the FUNNIEST part of the Tron Legacy soundtrack is starting it, making it to the second song, and then BAM JEFF BRIDGES IS MONOLOGUING
Okay I don't know what to listen to while I'm writing, sound off in the tags or comments with recs! Bonus points for instrumental pieces, but I don't ONLY want those
Shout-out to y'all for giving me some awesome recs!! I have them all saved on a list and am gonna go through them whenever I'm not in the mood for something else
Do you think Eridians have some sort of 'rock skipping' sport, where the ones with flatter carapace shoot themselves across a lake and and the ones that go the farthest/have the best form win? Kind of like human diving competitions, but horizontal??
“This is why the Enemy wants you to think you have no song to write, no story to tell, no painting to paint. He wants to quiet you. So sing. Let the Word by which the Creator made you fill your imagination, guide your pen, lead you from note to note until a melody is strung together like a glimmering constellation in the clear sky. Love the Lord your God, and love your neighbor, too, by making worlds and works of beauty that blanket the earth like flowers. Let your homesickness keep you always from spiritual slumber. Remember that it is in the fellowship of saints, of friends and family, that your gift will grow best, and will find its best expression. And until the Kingdom comes in its fullness, bend your will to the joyful, tearful telling of its coming. Write about that. Write about that, and never stop.”
