Pride. Makube is driven by arrogance, through and through. He knows he’s among the very best in what he does and he’ll be sure you won’t forget it.
Sloth. Not in spite of his eccentric nature - in fact, a direct consequence of it. Makube has a tendency to forgo some of the administrative matters he’s expected to address, finding his personal research to be more worthy of his attention.
Wrath. He seldom finds himself on the front lines, though he’s a merciless tactician. When he does engage in direct combat he’ll eagerly resort to the dirtiest tricks he has up his sleeve.
Greed. Certainly, what with his predecessor being hoist by his own petard, there are some mistakes that are never to be repeated for as long as Makube holds his position within the Iscariot organization. But given the context of his role, he’s all but obligated to continue Iscariot’s ages-old pursuit of power and glory.
Envy. He’s great at hiding it, but being bested (especially in terms of the very skills he flaunts) will make him seethe.
Lust. Perhaps in his youth, but now? Pursuing his carnal desires is hardly feasible.
Gluttony. He might indulge in a little more alcohol than he should every now and again, but apart from that, he actually could stand to eat a little more.
I’m supposed to tag 7 people to do this but frankly, I don’t even follow that many people on this blog, so... Feel free to keep up the chain if you’d like!
With 2020 playing out as it has been, I haven’t been able to consistently write but that doesn’t stop me from having a lot of stupid ideas!
Water Goddess AU
I’ve started this one a while ago, thanks to Kiwi’s Goddess set some time back. There’s still love for the idea and I REALLY WANT TO CONTINUE IT. The last portions of the story include a royal party, thrown in honor of a treaty between Eorzea (or the au’s equivalent to Eorzea) and Garlemald; an introduction to Hien’s brothers (he’s the youngest in this story for reasons); and some angsty ‘I love you’ magic :V
Kiri’s Memories
SHE FINALLY BEGINS TO REMEMBER HER CHILDHOOD. Most of this was started during FFXIV Write 2020. The idea has been brewing for quite a while but I hadn’t been motivated to set it into motion until the challenge came up. Her story finally connects with Lani, and Edea, giving insight to pieces that Kiri just couldn’t remember. Whether she makes it out of the encounter alive or not is still unknown. :^)
Freyja shenanigans
A series of little drabbles where Freyja as Azem causes havoc and plays pranks on Hades. This would give a little more light on Freyja herself, how she came to become Azem and what the final days of Amaurot were like for her. Also featuring her brother/sister like relationship with Hyth and Emet-Selch. Freyja is such a delight to have living rent free in my head but I just never seem to find the right tone to start writing any of her stories. I just love her immensely.
Kiri talks feelings to Estinien
Definitely not the best choice when deciding who will listen to your woes bUT this story involves being a Dragoon. Briefly I’ve touched on this idea (linked above), that after HW Kiri struggles being a Dragoon. She switches weapons and fighting styles for a while, grows a bit distant during this time as well for more than just Dragoon reasons, and flat out is not having a good time. Most of this is accompanied with the weight of what transpired at the Wall with the Griffin, so it’s a little more than just ‘Feelings with Estinien’. But the majority of what I want to write is just two dragoons deciding what it means to be a Dragoon in a time of peace where they no longer kill dragons.
Heart Eater AU
uHHHH THIS WAS MY GUILTY PLEASURE AU? Kiri as a powerful kitsune yokai, trying to eat the heart of the last Rijin who is just an extremely exhausted college student living on his own before his duties to his family takes away his freedom. Typical anime stereotype but shush. :’)) While she can’t flat out kill Hien immediately, she ends up living with him until the most opportune moment but by doing so, she opens herself up to him. Gosetsu and Yugiri make an appearance as his guardians and make the discovery that Kiri has been freed from her seal. Immediately Gosetsu showers her in talismans, shouting about how dangerous this hissing fur ball is on the ground while Yugiri and Hien sip tea. @heirsofdiscord, @whitherliliesbloom, and @ancientechos characters all make an appearance as well! As Kiri decides whether she loves or would love to eat Hien, they act as the Scooby gang and hunt paranormal in their downtime. Heavily inspired by xxxHolic if I’m being honest.
Dreaming of Her?
COUGH This one I’ve actually been trying to write... As anyone who knows me would tell you, I don’t really write smut. I struggle with it a lot and honestly I don’t know how to get over it. So occasionally I’ve been writing small pieces at a time. Essentially it’s Hien having a dream about Kiri before they actually confess although the chemistry is ABSOLUTELY THERE. Literally just smut, no plot really. :’))
Moogle Chocobo Carnival!!!
Kiri and friends visit another world just in time to visit the Moogle Chocobo Carnival in Altissia! ( FFXV ) Maybe they died/are having a dream when they visit BUT REGARDLESS, IT’S SUPER FUN AND THEY ALL HAVE A BLAST. Hien runs around in the full gear of a t-shirt, the chocobo hat, and poses/dances with all the Chocobo and Moogle mascots he comes across. Kiri cries over how cute all the moogles are until Hien buys her several plushies of moogles and chocobos. They all play mini games together and share a nice dinner before heading off to the water to watch fireworks at night! Hien and Kiri smooch on their boat uwu
lastly
ANYTHING MODERN
Modern day AU’s give me so much life! The Yokai AU is also Modern but I just want normal, every day life of two idiots falling in love. :V Give me like a typical drama where they get stuck in a snowstorm together and Hien invites Kiri over for coffee at his place, playing cards/board games next to a candle because the power went out. :’)))) Oh and they probably get steamy at some point but that’s all this couple does in any au let’s be real.
I’m sure there’s more that I’ve mentioned before bUT those are the main ones I want to focus on at some point :3c
