[the-truth-will-light-the-sky]

@ravus-week Prompt: Phantom Pain

Will something hurt if it doesn’t exist anymore?

Rating: Angst

When the flames seared my left arm, I felt as if my blood was burning, too. Devouring me alive, I seemed as if I was going to burn forever.

That did not frighten me, however. In a way, I felt like it was proper.

Somehow as I burned I thought, ah, this is my punishment. I deserve such a thing. I let the flames engulf me as I screamed, hoping that if this is the sacrifice the gods would ask of me, I was willing to lose it. And so I let the pain take me whole.

One would think I’d be bitter, but I knew I deserved this for turning my back against the Astrals. What I wouldn’t deny though, is the fact that they had asked for it. They had abandoned me first.

What replaced the hand that always held the candles during the ceremonies was a metallic magitek arm. Violent thundering of energy shook me as the imperials held me still, screwing that unnatural thing upon my person. 

This is the most innovative invention by the empire, they said. You shall be better in no time.

But it was an intruder, a parasite.

Flexing the metallic digits, I saw it as it is:  a dead hand. 

Gone is the hand that first held my sister’s little fingers when she was born, the very digits that wrapped around my mother’s clothes when I cried. The hand that valiantly held a shield as my father taught me how to fight is lost, the arm that was the source of love and sanctuary for my lover had crumbled to ashes. 

One singular limb, a thousand lives. 

Gone. 

Yet strangely enough, I felt some sort of relief. It shall never remind me of those  memories while I still had my true arm.

This magitek arm, at least, was going to be indifferent to my feelings.

Bu…why does it still hurt? 

I still feel it burning, asking me to scream.

Perhaps, the sins I made with that arm still lingered, pleading me to suffer some more. 

I shall succumb to it, if that’s what it takes to rid myself of my foolishness.

As much of a stranger it is to my history, this arm yearns to hold my lover’s hands, to wipe the tears from her eyes. It wants me to help my sister fulfill her duties and shield her from her fate.

Just when I thought I’d have a new life with this arm, it seeks to remind me of who I once was.

It seems as if my old true arm had not completely vanished. It still lingers on…and it pains me still.

Something should not hurt if it doesn’t exist anymore, doesn’t it?

This is a late post for @ravus-week . I still can’t believe that it’s over. I had so much fun writing about our dear lord of Tenebrae. Thanks for the lovely prompts, dearie! I’ve seen so many great contents about Ravus. I do hope more content about him shall be made, even after ravus-week is over.

I do have a part two for Ravus’ mannerisms which I hope to post soon. Also, I’ve been meaning to write something for Ravus’ birthday which I made as a headcanon — he turns a year older on the 8th of this month. :)

I’m currently abroad and undergoing an art internship for a month, but I hope to make at least one content a week. I hope you are all well! X

[ravus-week]

that's a wrap!

Thank you everyone for your participation!! I know I didn't quite manage to finish any of the things I wanted to for this week, so since I doubt I'm the only one, I will continue to post late entries whenever they come in. Just put @ravus-week in your post or send me a note and I'll reblog it. Thanks again!

@ravus-week 

I would love to thank you for organizing this week and giving this boy some more love! I wish I could have participated more, and I curse my busy schedule for all of the unfinished stories I have, but the submissions put into this all were incredible! 

This video of mine is rather old, but I needed something to submit, and hopefully it falls under the content category!

Thank you again for arranging this, it’s been a blast!

Prompt: Free/None (I think?)

Rating: G-T. It’s game and movie footage sooo….???

Notes: At the end I tried to combine audio with dialogue and I don’t think it turned out good. Whoops.

@ravus-week - Day Seven - Gardens of Tenebrae

Nothing else of this song is appropriate, but it’s kept coming up in recent weeks and this part (2:50), devoid any musical accompaniment, is what I keep coming back to and just feels like A Ravus Mood™. Like, what you think about when there’s too much to think about and you’d prefer to not think about it at all.

Wasn’t content to end with the earlier comic, so here’s this, too, actually using one of the prompts.

[niaswish]

New arm, new beginning

@ravus-week

No warnings apply, fluff, emotional hurt/comfort, making things right, alternate universe, same au as previous submissions.

Summary: After Ravus broke his Magitek Arm fighting, Prompto and Cindy team up together to make him a new one.

Ravus watched gingerly as Prompto and that young mechanic lady finished adjusting the last few bits of his new arm. The last week had been a rather… unique experience without a left arm. He had woken up with Niflheim’s implanted Magitek Arm after the attack on Insomnia. It had taken him a few days to get used to the augmented strength but he had managed quickly enough.

“Okay, we’re all set Ravus.” Prompto declared as he cleaned his hands. Cindy had the completed arm in her hands and was bringing it to him. The arm was quite different from his previous one. No lonhger bearing the colors of Niflheim, instead it bore the Tenebraen colors and its crest. Ravus’ eyes blinked quickly as he looked away, telling himself not to cry.

When he looked back at them, Prompto and Cindy were patiently waiting for him, giving him space. Ravus took a deep breath then straightened, “How do you wish to proceed?” Prompto’s smile was as blinding as ever and the lady mechanic’s was just as excited.

“Well Sugar,” Ravus was startled to be addressed as such but Cindy took no heed as she continued, “we made this beauty to fit with the nerve joint ya got installed. Prompto and I are going to pop this on ya, might hurt a bit when it connects, then we’ll adjust until its working like ya want it to. Any questions?” Ravus shook his head, it seemed straight forward enough.

With a nod to Ravus, Prompto picked up the arm while Cindy unwrapped the nerve joint carefully. It felt odd for it to be exposed, like constant static shocks to his shoulder. The mechanic quickly cleaned it before helping Prompto align the parts properly and push it together in one swift pop.

“Fuck!” Ravus swore, almost bending over in pain, hand going to his shoulder as fire burst from the socket the moment the new arm was connected.

“Shit! Sorry, sorry Ravus. “ Prompto mumbled, hands hovering over him as Ravus caught his breath. The fire receded slowly, going from overwhelming to tolerable to barely there within minutes. Once Ravus was able to sit up straight without too much pain, the mechanical duo started working on adjust the arm for comfort.

Ravus had expected to have to relearn how to use his arm and hand anew. He had expected to be given his old Magitek Arm with a few new parts but the same basic functions. He had not expected to find himself able to crack an egg without making a mess within an hour, or to be able to use it as a portable computer slash phone. As Prompto and Cindy cleaned up, chatting about how to use the experience to make prosthetics for others and how to improve on their design, Ravus opened and closed his hand in wonder. “Thank you.”

@ravus-week Day 7. Prompt: Ravus getting used to his Magitek arm.

I imagine the arm is quite heavy and awkward. He seems to consciously try to keep it away from his body. It also seems that when he walks, he lands heavier on his left leg. I’m guessing there was a lot of trial and error in the process of getting used to it. Bumping into things, trying to pick up an object and either dropping it, or breaking it. Poor Ravus.

Rating G Words 1098 Part 7/7 Characters Ravus/Noctis Summary Noctis wants to have the wedding in Tenebrae. And Ravus, for once, is kind of happy about that.

for day seven of @ravus-week “gardens of tenebrae” prompt. a happy little ending for a happy week of ravus~

“Want to have the ceremony in Tenebrae?” Noctis had asked.

He was more receptive to the marriage arrangements than Ravus ever might have expected, unbothered, like half the rest of the world was bothered, by the choice in spouse and the reasons behind it.

The reaction to their announcement was mixed to favorable. Which was, honestly, better than Ravus could have anticipated.

Ravus and Selena - wedding dress shopping at Klienfelds.

“Moms, Grandma Edie, Grandma Susan,” Ravus began as he stood in front of the couch Sabrina, his mother and Edith and Susan were sitting on once he heard them oohing and awing the bigger ball gowns in the reception area and their murmurs of how Selena would look in them and knew he should step in because Selena wouldn’t necessarily tell them no. 

“Selena and I have been looking at dresses on Pintrist and so I mean this with the utmost respect, but you guys need to abandon any vision you have of Selena in a big extravagant ball gown, she wants something simple and something lace and she doesn’t like ballgowns, it’s a summer wedding and she wants the dress to be light and comfortable and she doesn’t want to be a Disney Princess, she just wants to be her ok? For her, bigger isn’t better, whichever dress she wears that she’s wearing the biggest, brightest and most genuine smile, that’s her dress, despite however you personally feel about it, don’t push her or let anyone else push her to get something she doesn’t absolutely love, tradition be damned - ok? If you have issues or problems with this, you’re going to talk to me about it- ok? The most important thing is that Selena will be happy and she will not sacrifice or compromise any of her own happiness to make you happy, you’ve all gotten your own weddings and they were hopefully what you wanted. It’s her turn to have her own wedding just the way she wants it.” Ravus communicated firmly with them, Ravus standing in front of them and taking turns looking each of them in the eye. Susan and Edith were taken aback by that, Sabrina blinked in surprise before her face changed into a challenging frown as she crossed her arms over her chest but Sylva just beamed proudly at her son.

“You’re absolutely right, these appointments are all about finding the perfect dresses for the girls, I promise not to push my opinion on Selena, simply support her and give her my stamp approval on her favorite dress which I’m sure she’ll look gorgeous in, thank you for the reminder Dear.” Sylva placated.

Ok, so this is my second submission for day 7 of @ravus-week featuring Ravus and Selena starting their family in my Magic and Miracles universe again. Ravus has a mansion built for Selena so the middle left picture is when you first drive up, the bottom middle is the back of the house and then the right middle is kind of a from a distance what their estate looks like because in Magic and Miracles, Ravus is worth a quite a bit and can afford to have such a thing built for his Darling Selena who designed the house to begin with. and then the bottom right picture is of course Sophie’s room with Ravus and Selena’s massive bedroom in the middle. And in Magic and Miracles, Ravus totally has a pregger kink and thinks that his wife, especially pregnant is the hottest sexiest woman on earth. He thinks that no matter what but still. And doesn’t Ravus make the best and sweetest dad ever?!

Rated teen and up and it flirts with M for mentions of sexy times but hopefully nothing too explicit.

Ravus week- Ravus and Selena- Becoming Parents

Selena was barely conscious when she felt the shift in the bed and knew Ravus was getting up and getting dressed. She drifted off to sleep when she heard him rifle through his drawers to get changed into his work out clothes so he and Nyx could go on their morning jog together as he softly beckoned to the dogs to come with him so they could go too. She woke up again when about an hour later, Ravus and the dogs returned from his morning run and got in the shower as Audrey, their German shepherd and Baxter, their Newfoundland, Lola, their Shiloh shepherd and Bunny, their black lab, jumped up onto the foot of the bed to rest from their morning run, the only times they were allowed on the bed was when Ravus himself wasn’t in bed, but Selena liked having them on the bed with her so in the morning, when she would sleep in, they got a couple of hours with their ‘mommy’. The noise and movement waking her up. She did smile however when Ravus emerged from the bathroom, freshly showered and started to get dressed, trying to keep quiet so as not to wake her up. She reached out and got her phone off the night stand and frowned when she saw how early it was.

The movement caught Ravus’ attention and caused him to pause and look over to her, only partially dressed but went over to his wife.

“Sorry to wake you up Darling, go back asleep.” Ravus whispered and kissed her cheek and temple before petting her face and head and hair the way she liked.  

Selena hummed her agreement before settling back down into the bed, pulled the covers up to her chin as the dogs moved up and surrounded her body with their own on top of the covers and tried to go back asleep herself but it was like her senses were sharper than usual and she could hear everything he did as well as smell the dogs much more than usual as she realized…she felt so nauseous. Maybe she was just sick from being woken up too early and that more sleep would fix it.

@ravus-week - Day Seven - [Free]

Ravus is tall and strong, and has a fantastic bosom, but his raiment coat hides the terrible adorable secret that he is actually scrawny as fuck.

Since this week is about Ravus and not exactly my rarepair: if I had to pick a worthy mate for Ravus who appears in-game as more than graffiti on dropships, well…

Gladio likes the view. Ravus would just like to have a belt. He’s already down a hand, and this isn’t helping.

And so, I end the week much as I began it.

My entry for Day 7 of @ravus-week​.

Prompt: Gardens of Tenebrae

Read Chapter 1 here.

Tomorrow. Ravus would be married tomorrow.

He thought he’d already come to terms with it. In the three months he’d been given to manage his affairs, he’d done all he could to ease the transition. Moving to Insomnia, choosing his successor as High Commander of the Tenebraean Peace Corps, familiarizing himself with the ins and outs of the Lucian Minor Council he’d soon be a part of, even getting to know Ignis (and his friends, Shiva have mercy) better – he’d thought that all of the busy work would help him feel more reassured of his place, of the significance of this marriage in ushering a new age of peace.

He’d thought wrong. The busy work only served to hide his terror behind a veneer of confident calm. Now that it was so close, now that his future loomed before him, his terror clawed at the pretense and broke free with a vengeance.

“Gods,” he muttered. Ravus threw an arm over his eyes to block the world for a while, and wished he could as easily make his dread disappear.

“Ravus, are you still awake? It’s me.”

Luna arrived with their mother two days ago to attend the ceremony, at the behest of Emperor Aldercapt. It was a petty move from Niflheim – ensuring that both the King of Lucis and the Oracle are there to witness one last show of power – but Lunafreya insisted that they’d both wanted to be here for him anyway.

Ravus wasn’t sure how he felt about it. Marriage had been quite low in his list of priorities, but he’d always imagined he’d want his family there if he ever did get married. Now that he was, he felt like sending them away. Perhaps it was because everything was just a charade, a performance to appease a powerful foe and not something borne out of love.
