[ffxv] [cottagecor] On a Quiet Night
Notes: I learned late in the game that Matthew Mercer sings. So imagine his awesome voice for Cor singing your favorite acoustic guitar ballad here 😺
***
Ignis was unobtrusive - or at least, tried hard to be. In the end, Cor saw no need to change most of his routines just because he had a guest.
After dinner, Cor liked to sit out in the front garden, where he raised flowers, and surrounded himself with the scent of the night bloomers. This relaxed him more than the tea he sometimes brewed from some of those flowers.
What relaxed him even more was when he brought a beat-up old acoustic guitar out with him.
He wasn’t an expert in playing it by any means, and he worried that his guest would be annoyed by the amateurish playing and singing...
But the moon was full, the sky was clear, the night wind was warm, and the fireflies were out. It was too beautiful a night to spend quietly indoors.
If there was something he needed, he made it himself. That was the rule.
So, on nights as damn close to perfect as this one was, he made his own music.
He played a simple old ballad, strumming and singing softly so as not to disturb his guest too much...though he was sure Ignis could hear it from within the house. The man had superhuman hearing. He could hear larger demons stalking their perimeter, a significant distance from the cottage. He could even hear blackworms chewing into the cabbages Cor grew in the backyard, when the farmer himself couldn’t spot a single sign of them.
So, it stood to reason that Ignis would step out into the front yard to see what the noise was about, even before he could finish the song.
Cor stilled his hands immediately. “Sorry if my noise bothered you,” he greeted.
“It was no bother,” Ignis replied. “And it was definitely not noise. I just didn’t know there was a musical instrument in the house.”
He couldn’t have known, of course. Cor kept it in his room, which Ignis never entered.
“It was my uncle’s,” he explained. “Over the years, it’s seen some damage. I’ve tried to repair it, but since I’m not a luthier...the sound just isn’t the same.”
“It sounds fine. And you play and sing very well, Marsh--Cor.”
Cor let out a small breath. Someday, Ignis was going to tire of noticing and praising each new thing he discovered about Cor. A part of Cor wished that day would come soon. He didn’t want to get too used to it.
(At least Ignis was already training himself to not think of him as a Marshall anymore, although Cor imagined it was a hard vision to shake. The last time Ignis laid eyes on him, he still had a sword beside him at all times.)
“There used to be a victrola here,” Cor said, to change the topic.“An old-fashioned one you had to operate by crank. And a trove of records to play. But...”
But I wasn’t able to visit this cottage for a long time, after the chaos of the King’s disappearance. Monsters had ravaged this place and I’d had to rebuild, salvaging as much as I could. Many things ended up being beyond repair, but not this guitar.
All things Ignis didn’t need to know.
“...well. None of that is around anymore. That would have made for better music.”
“An old-fashioned victrola,” Ignis thoughtfully echoed. “I wish I could have seen one of those.”
Right - traditional victrolas went out of fashion in Insomnia decades before Cor was born. They must have been phased out altogether by the time Ignis came into the world.
Ignis was young...much younger than he sounded and behaved. Sometimes Cor forgot that.

I... can’t remember what recent chapter updates I’ve shared on here already :x
so! here are some of the most recent in one post! please to mind the tags on each of them (as always)
a loving feeling: ch 3 ignyx, rated E, college/modern AU in which ignis is a virgin and comes up with a harebrained schemed to change that
accidental: ch 3 igcor, rated E, yes another college/modern AU where Cor is a professor, Ignis is his student, and he accidentally comes across some.. compromising video footage of how Ignis is helping pay for college
QueensGuard my entry for the She Deserved Better zine! a Crowe lives AU with some minor/implied Crowe/Luna, canon divergent
for @eratoschild Ignis felt a sharp yank in the longer hair at the top of his head, and the fist there tightened, slowly.
“That’s not how you address me. Try again.”
A shiver ran down his spine and he gasped out, “Sir” before the solid weight of Cor pressed him into the bed. The rest of his words were lost into Cor’s mouth as he fell back into the sweet embrace of submission and the careful attentions of his lover.

Someday (This Will All Make Sense)
by raidelle
To protect his position as Noct's advisor, Ignis has to marry before he turns 21. The man he's going to marry? The Marshal of the Crownsguard himself Cor Leonis.
Ignis: apparently I am dumbass slash emtionally congested sexual.
Gladiolus: what?
Ignis, watching Cor, Nyx, Noctis and Ravus argue: they’re terrible.
Gladiolus: are you- are you insane?
Ignis: No. I’m sexually frustrated, Gladiolus. And it’s because all the men I am interested in are emotionally congested dumbasses.
