Summary:  Gladio catches Ignis under the mistletoe - the perfect opportunity for a kiss no one would question.

Notes: written for @gladnis2018  (reblogs/retweets/xpost welcome) day 1 prompts: Mistletoe and Secret Relationship

It was disconcerting to arrive at Noct’s and find the table already laid out with a festive spread. Ignis couldn’t resist the urge to hasten over and give it a thorough inspection, but even his critical eye could find nothing amiss. His Highness had done surprisingly well, and Ignis took a moment to remind himself it was unfair to underestimate Noctis.

“Hey, Iggy.” For such a large man, Gladio moved with extreme stealth when he chose.

“Gladiolus.” Ignis allowed his lips to curve in the barest hint of a smile, which he nodded crisply to mask.

Gladio employed no such subtlety, grinning broadly and clapping Ignis on the shoulder. If his hand lingered a little long, those calloused fingertips brushing the side of Ignis’s neck before drawing away, it surely wasn’t enough to raise suspicion.

Winter’s Daydream

Fandom: FFXV

Pairing: Gladnis

Rating: T

Summary: After taking a moment to mull over the prospect of another entire day with Gladio uninterrupted, Ignis sent a silent prayer of thanks to Shiva for the timely snowstorm.

Notes: written for @gladnis2018  (reblogs/retweets/xpost welcome) day 3 prompt ‘cuddling in the blankets’ + the bonus prompt ‘snowed in’

When his alarm went off that morning, Ignis was sorely tempted to ignore it. He had no wish to leave the haven of Gladio’s arms, and allowed himself the momentary indulgence of nestling closer and nuzzling his cheek against that rugged, stubbly jawline.

“Mornin’, Iggy,” Gladio rumbled into Ignis’s hair.

“Go back to sleep,” Ignis said tenderly. “I’ll make some coffee, shall I?”

He slid reluctantly from the blankets and wrapped himself in his robe, grateful that he’d set the alarm an hour earlier than necessary so they didn’t have to rush. After an entire weekend of shared solitude - a rare occurrence with both of their duties - going back to his typical routine would prove jarring at best. Ignis knew he’d acclimate quickly, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to take advantage of every last second of private time he could snare with his lover before heading back out into the public eye. After setting the coffee machine to perk, Ignis crossed into the living room and drew open the blinds. He stared wide-eyed at the winter wonderland outside that pane of glass, his jaw gaping. When had it snowed? He had a vague memory of the weekend’s weather forecast calling for flurries, but surely he would have recalled if a blizzard had been on the way.

Gladnis On Ice

Summary: Gladio teaches Ignis to skate: A fluffy drabble for Gladnis Holiday Weekend 2018.

Notes: written for @gladnis2018  (reblogs/retweets/xpost welcome) day 2 prompt: ice skating

Being cuddled up against his boyfriend watching a sappy show was about the perfect way Gladio could think of to spend his downtime between finals. It was Ignis’s turn to pick what they watched, and while Gladio was surprised at the content, it wasn’t the first time they’d watched anime together.

“Yes!” Ignis cheered when one of the figure skaters pulled off what Gladio guessed was a pretty tricky combination. His knowledge of the sport was limited to ‘it’s done on ice’. He knew how to skate, sure - used to take his little sister when they were kids. But he never learned any of the flashy moves these athletes were performing. He thought it was like dancing on ice, and indulged in a momentary daydream of Ignis being the one in that sequined costume flying over the ice so gracefully. Ignis was a great dancer, he’d probably be grace incarnate on the ice, too.

Feeling inspired, and a bit tired of being cooped up indoors despite the snuggles, Gladio reached out and paused the stream. “Hey, I have an idea.”

“Oh?” Ignis shot a flirtatious grin over his shoulder. “I bet I can guess.”

My goal was to get Dragonscourge chapter 7 posted tonight, but I had to Be An Adult and take care of things around the house after work.  I did get the final edit about halfway done, so I should be able to post it tomorrow.  Tomorrow I will also be pantsing an entry for Gladnis Holiday Weekend, inspiration permitting.

I could finish both these things tonight, but after how stupid late I stayed up last night... I’m gonna be smart and go to bed on time today.

Happy Friday Eve, Tumblr fam! <3

Gladnis Holiday Weekend and NSFW Content

Given some recent changes to Tumblr, we understand that posting NSFW content for Gladnis Holiday Weekend may be more challenging than previously anticipated. 

We want to remind everyone that NSFW content is still absolutely welcome for this fan weekend, though certainly not required! 

To best navigate Tumblr's changes, we suggest the following: 

Make sure to @ this blog in the text of your post, so we get a notification and can reblog your content (like this: @gladnis2018). Tagging is still very broken. 

Links to sites outside Tumblr are a great way to share your content. However, Tumblr has made linked posts non-searchable, so please be double sure to follow #1 if you use a link, since it's likely your content won't show up in the tags. 

We are also on Twitter and will be RTing there, if that's a better platform for your Gladnis content. 

NSFW content does need to be behind a cut to be reblogged. This allows everyone to see just the content they want to see.

If you want to avoid using the NSFW tag after 12/17, which is understandable, we suggest the good old tag "lemons." Those of you looking to avoid NSFW content can blacklist this tag now. 

We're all in this together! We will do our best, and understand all you wonderful content creators are doing the same. Have fun, and enjoy the season and the love that is Gladnis!
