Chapters: 1/1 Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Gladiolus Amicitia & Prompto Argentum & Noctis Lucis Caelum & Ignis Scientia Additional Tags: Humor, Friendship, Platonic Relationships, Eventual Fluff, Mystery, kind of, Gladio and Noct get into a petty fight, Prompto plays detective, …and what about Ignis?

Summary:

Noct looks up, grinning. “Wanna hear a story about Gladio being a jerk? A story that makes you question why he’s still my future Shield?” Well, if that doesn’t sound like someone bears a grudge. Why can’t Prompto help thinking it’s something petty, tough? Still, he wants to know. “Shoot.” Prompto uncovers the truth behind an unresolved (and very petty) feud between his friends. Prompto being Prompto, he learns to love them even more despite—or because of?—this revelation.

A silly, humoristic story I wrote for the Ever At Your Side project!

The Dawn and the Night Sky

“…and the True King banished the Darkness once and for all, returning Light to Eos,” Ignis speaks into the recorder in his hands. “The King made—” he continues, but the words catch in his throat. He pauses the recorder.

It’s silent in his study now, except for the tick-tock of the wall clock. Ignis takes a few deep breaths. It’s alright, you’re alright, he tells himself.

Once he feels grounded enough, he returns to the task at hand, turning the recorder back on. “The King,” he starts over, “made one final sacrifice. He gave his life for his people, for the future of Eos. His sacrifice opened a new era; we call it the Dawn of a New Age.”

He switches off the recorder.

Happy birthday to our best boy ✫ Noct ✫! Such a wonderful day to post a preview of my piece “The Dawn and the Night Sky” for the @cosmogonyzine!!

Pay Day: Revision & Epilogue

Some of you may know my fic “Pay Day” which I wrote for the @noct-whump-week last summer! I decided to revise it and add a little epilogue. :)

Prompt: An overheard conversation causes Noctis to think his companions are only with him out of royal obligation. Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Ship/s (if any): None / Brot4 Word count: 11658 (3/3 chapters) Warnings/Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, Emotional Hurt, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Miscommunication, Gossip, Friendship, Relationship Study

Summary: A week before their departure for Altissia, Noctis learns just how much money his friends are paid for their Crownsguard duties.

Epilogue Preview:

It was a lazy afternoon. They had set camp at a haven close to the Fallgrove. Prompto sat at the shore of a pond not far away from the haven, his feet dangling in the water as he watched Noct fishing at the other side of the pond. It was a hot and humid day, and the cool water felt refreshing to his skin.

Gladio was right beside him, cross-legged and flipping through a Weapons Monthly issue. No period novel for a change.

Ignis was back at camp, preparing for dinner. It was some thirty or so yards away, but if Prompto listened attentively, he could hear the clanking of cooking wares in the distance.

Noctis seemed to be in the midst of reeling in a fish; his back was tense and nothing seemed to disturb his concentration.

There was something on Prompto’s mind that bugged him, something he had wanted to ask Gladio for weeks.

Six Sentence Sunday

A snippet of a scene in the next chapter of my fic The Sun Falls! Noctis is going to suffer in this one. ;D

Noctis wanted to believe that he really was on the right track, that he’d make it to that place of his dreams. That he was in luck for once and everything would turn out well.

But despite walking for hours upon hours, there was just no end in sight. He took breaks and kept himself hydrated, but more than his body, it was his mind he had to convince to keep going. Even the time displayed on his watch didn’t make sense anymore. Time became an almost foreign concept, and space became confining. The tunnels were breathing down on him as if they were trying to swallow him whole. He was utterly alone here, and the walls surrounding him knew. They knew he wasn’t part of the outer world anymore. They were mocking him, Noctis was certain of it.

Would he ever leave this place?
