okay first we got this ask
GHOSTOFBEACONHILL
I'm in the mood to crush my heart, so I got to thinking about promptis! Specifically, promptis during the 10 year separation. How Prompto is the last one that finds out that, even if Noctis comes back, he needs to die to bring back the light. How Gladio and Ignis are so hesitant to tell him because he's one of the few things that help them keep going on in their current hell world. And how Prompto swings between denial of what is about to happen and heartbreak.
Oh…oh man…definite heart-crushing material right there. The idea that Noct might return really is the one thing keeping Prom going, but…the other two aren’t sure about telling him. Ultimately, they decide that it won’t be fair for Noct to be the one to break the news when he returns–that would put too much more on him, and they don’t want to.So they decide to tell Prompto a few years before the ten. Prom is grief-stricken. If he gets his best friend back, his love, he’s going to lose him for good the next day? That’s just not fair. He’s also probably a little hurt that they didn’t tell him for so long. That causes a spat between them, but Prom isn’t thinking in his right mind at the moment.Now I’m torn between this super depressing acceptance and Prom going on a journey to figure out how to keep Noct alive. He’d make a damning deal with the Astrals if that was the only option.
And then:
GHOSTOFBEACONHILL
To continue with the heartbreak scenario and taking what you said, what if Prompto goes searching for ways to prevent Noctis having to sacrifice himself just so that everyone else can survive? What if, while searching, he loses complete track of time and isn't in Hammerhead when Noctis arrives? What if he is so invested in trying to save Noctis that he misses ... everything?
Oh I see you aren’t done hurting me. I see.
That would devastate Noct. He wants to see Prom so badly, but he’s not there when he arrives at Hammerhead. Of course, he’s really happy to see Gladio and Ignis, but they’ve got this look on their faces. And…well, when Noct looks over their shoulders for that spike of blond hair, Gladio tells him that it’s just the two of them. They aren’t sure where Prom is, haven’t kept tabs on him since he up and left without a trace.
Noct needs all three of them for support before what he’s about to face. He doesn’t know that Prom is off trying to save his life; all that’s apparent to him is that Prom isn’t there. Maybe he didn’t want to handle seeing this moment. Which Noct can understand, but doesn’t he deserve a bit of selfishness in his final hour? Doesn’t he deserve to have a proper goodbye?
Aight you’re the master of this so tell me: does Prom find the answer? And if so, what does it cost?
Then it branched off! This is the “Everyone Else Forgets timeline” under the cut
GHOSTOFBEACONHILL
Alright then. *cracks knuckles* So, Prompto is visiting every place he knows that have significance to either the Royal family or the Astrals and is investigating every nook and cranny, trying to see if maybe they missed something. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. But Prompto is nothing if not stubborn and determined, so he keeps searching. On his stop to the Greyshire Glacial Grotto, he runs into Gentiana who asks him why he is not with the King of Kings (1/?)
And Prompto tells her about his journey, about how he wants to save Noctis’ life while still saving everything else. Gentiana warns that Bahamut, the Sword Keeper, will not allow it; that the line of Lucis Caelum will end with the saving of the world. Prompto screams and shouts at that, saying that what was the point of watching him, protecting him … loving him if he was set to die anyway?! He blurts out everything about Noct he loves and cherishes and Gentiana (2/?)
is moved. This human, this special human, loved the King of Kings just like she had loved the Oracle, even if in different ways. She reveals herself as Shiva and she informs him that there is a way. She tells him of the location of the Dawn Mother, Eos, and where he could find her. But warns that there is a price. Prompto, the idiot in love that he is, states that he would pay any price for Noctis. Any price at all.
(I then diverged the convo to the other timeline, but back to this one!)
ANONYMOUS:
I really like the idea of Prompto being forgotten because then you can have all the people who he’s connected to feel like they’re missing something even though they don’t have the memories telling they are. And just because they are missing memories doesn’t mean that photographic evidence of prompto doesn’t exist. So imagine if Noct just finds a picture of Prompto kissing him on his phone. In fact i bet there is a whole folder dedicated to pictures of prompto or things he sent him
Y’all have much better ideas than me lol who wants to run my blog- (this point still stands y’all are great)
Now, let’s take the reverse of [the Prompto Forgets] scenario. Where Prompto is completely removed from people’s memories. The sad thing is that Prompto’s removal … wouldn’t actually affect … anything in the game’s timeline at all. But his removal is harmful, not that Prompto on the outside would notice. Because Prompto kept Noctis human. Our blonde boy was what kept Noct going for so long and to remove that? You have a king that is fully in his depression with no one able to get him out of it.
You’re right…but gods, the depression that Noct would fall into. His light isn’t there, even in his memory. He feels like something is just missing, and he’s helplessly reaching for nothing. Poor thing, nobody has ever really been able to cheer him up like Prompto has…and now Noct doesn’t even know that it’s a person he should be searching for.
ANONYMOUS:
Ok ok so, I’m not the og anon, but I’ve been keeping up with the asks so I hope it’s ok to add on! I love the idea of Noct trying to peace together who this mystery man is, so like he goes on a scavenger hunt of what’s left of the world and insomnia, like going to all the places that he sees in the pictures on his phone but no one knows who this kid is. And maybe prom’s like decided to just live a secluded existence in the mountains or something and accept his fate idk so Noct has a hell of a time finding him but he doesn’t give up because he just FEELS somethingn he knows there has to be something to it all, because it’s super wierd honeslty for this person to just apparently not exist? But there’s photographic evidence? And he can’t shake the feeling of forgetting something important and he knows it must have something to do with this dude. Maybe Noct starts to have dreams about Prom, because like you can never really forget someone, ya know? And it just ads to the confusion of it all. Idk if they ever find each other again or what happens then but I feel like Noct wouldn’t give up
Hello new anon and welcome to the madness. It’s always definitely okay to add on!!
It is now time for Who’s That Guy? The show where the King of Lucis goes on a hunt for a random blond he keeps seeing in his phone!
No but really, it probably takes him a little while to notice. Phones aren’t of much use at first, when they’re starting to rebuild, so he doesn’t have it on hand enough to consider going through the photos he has until a random day when he decides to sit down and charge the thing. Then it hits him like a sack of bricks that he’s been feeling something nagging at him for a while. Like there’s a piece that hasn’t been fitting quite right. Maybe…this guy has that missing piece? Thing is, nobody he shows it to has a clue who the guy might be. The photo looked to be from when he was 20, so ten years is a long time for someone to think back on (especially with the circumstances of the starscourge).
Well, this can only mean one thing. Start looking.
ghostofbeaconhill:
In Everyone Else Forgets (EEF), Gladio and Ignis try EVERYTHING they can think of to help get Noct out of his depression. Something inside them, some instinct, knows that it's possible, but nothing they try works. They knew that their king dying was going to happen, and now that it isn't in the cards, they are doing everything they can to keep him here in the waking world. But how? How?!
It’s a mess! There’s so much to do, and they’re all in this weird slump that they can’t quite place. They keep glancing around them for another person before remembering it was just the three of them. There’s a vague sense of someone else that rode in the Regalia with them. Something stirs in their minds when they see a chocobo. Everything is confusing, and again, there’s so much to do in this broken world. Their broken king is number 1 on that list.
anonymous:
Howdy it’s og (can you really call it og when I just added to it) anon of the split timeline where Noct forgets and I like hurting myself apparently because the only thought that I had about their reunion is Prom and Noct freezing and then Prom immediately running away. Noct is trying to follow but is still not in the best shape because the throne room stabbing still happened, he just didn’t die from it. Not only that he just doesn’t have the magic to gain the advantage.
lmao this man who has the aches of being stabbed so many times over trying to compete with an actual runner? Good luck Noct give up while you can.
Prom, poor thing, cannot believe that Noct found him. Like, what are the odds? He’s tried so hard to keep his distance, thinking that it would be best if Noct didn’t go through the stress of trying to befriend him again. But then he just shows up?? Are you kidding?? My mans bolts away.
anonymous:
Prom is either secluded because he doesn’t feel he has a place in the world anymore or is a nomad who rides a chocobo that helps people along the way because he just can’t not do that.

Okay okay okay. Okay. I’m very bad at the logistics and explorations of Eos, so I applaud you for bringing in those details. Magnificent.
NOW. After this magnificent display of love and ambition, Shiva’s directions only spur Prompto further. He still doesn’t know that Noct is back right now, but…it’ll be okay. It has to be, if he makes this journey and strikes up a deal. He’ll do it for Noct, because he does not deserve to die.
I’m gonna keep this relatively short (otherwise I’ll write a whole fic pff), but Prom actually does it. He finds the Dawn Mother, and he pleads, begs her to spare the king. He’ll do anything, he says. She won’t take his life instead, since his is not on the same “importance” as Noctis’. After some negotiating, she’ll settle for his memory of Noct. Love is a very strong force, after all. He wakes up out in the countryside, maybe near Hammerhead, with no recollection of how he got there. That day, Noctis finishes off Ardyn for good, but Bahamut does not claim him.
The next morning, there is confusion, and there is a sunrise. Noctis has to search for Prompto.
GHOSTOFBEACONHILL
Let's first go with your idea that Prompto forgets Noctis. As I mentioned before, without Noctis, Prompto would have not met most of the people he knew, so they also were removed from his memories. And with so many memories being blanked out, his mind has to come up with alternates that make sense. Enter, the MT training remnant. Or at least, what his mind would assume was the MT remnant. It would explain why his memory is fuzzy, why he was outside of Insomnia and how he survived so long.
Ooohhh…I see. So he thinks he’s an MT now? Like, fully? Does that mean he’s going to think that he has to attack when Noct eventually finds him?? Oh man oh man oh man.
GHOSTOFBEACONHILL
Continuing the Prompto Forgets (now called PF for brevity), Prompto is so afraid that his MT training is kicking in and slowly consuming him and our sunshine boy does NOT want to hurt anyone, so he sequesters himself away from people, to keep everyone else safe. And the real kicker is ... no one is sure if Prompto is even still alive. By this point, everyone is sure that if he could have, Prompto WOULD have come back to Noct and the only reason he hasn't ...
I can definitely see Prom reverting to the little he remembers in his confusion. So much of his life is entertwined with Noct’s, so there’s not a whole lot for him to go on. Of course, that just makes people assume that he didn’t make it. Maybe Noct even thinks he’s mad at him for being gone for 10 years. Meanwhile our boy Prom is hiding out in the middle of nowhere to avoid what he thinks is his purpose in life. Ouch.
((Going back through my headcanon tag, there are quite a few I wrote on his physical attributes. As for his coloring specifically, at least in literary terms, I view him as having 'silver' hair, not unlike Yamato's (though the shade is a bit different). Despite having 'silver' hair and red eyes, I don't quite see him as an albino, due to the implication of physical debilitation that comes with the term, such as eyesight problems or greater susceptibility to skin conditions. He doesn't have those. In fact, I don't see him as having the same color skin throughout every lifetime. His hair and eyes, however, are always the same. This is because it's an effect of the Mark of Cain, of God's curse. It was put in place to add another layer of separation between Cain and normal people, as another means of isolation, as well as to imply that killing him would bring about retribution sevenfold.
Though do remember, these are all just my personal interpretations, but I felt like giving some input on the matter.))
