    Summary

    what makes an adventurer, is it the quest he fulfills, is it the dungeon she explores, how about uncovering the ruins of a bygone age, oh sure a man can do all that but that's not what makes him an adventurer, it's the supplies he delivers to a war-torn village, it's the children she saves from the infested cave, its the antidote to a plague lost to time. they're remembered as heroes because of their actions, so it's not what it takes to become a hero. it's what it means to be an Adventurer.

    Summary

    A trusted friend approaches the Warrior of Light with the idea to write memoirs of his adventures. But is his adventure truly over?

    The former Scions recreate rift travel and journey to another shard, only to find it mostly frozen over and the situation dire, and that their Warrior of Light might be a local legend...?

    This takes place after the events of Endwalker and some of the post patch content, so heads up spoilers for those! Logan Thrives is my WoL, a towering and shy Elezen with purple hair who mains White Mage. In RP I always had him have amnesia because I kinda got thrown into RP before I really understood much of the story background, so this fic is not only to give him a backstory that I think is fun and interesting to explore, but to also give me my sandwich (G'raha & Haurchefant) because my gentle softboy frankly deserves it after all the struggles he's had :D

    There is no update schedule, feel free to suggest tags in the comments - I'm new to posting fic in this fandom so I am open to suggestions pertaining to that :)

    Summary

    My daily entries for the 2024 FFxivWrite challenge, my first year participating. Featuring the self-styled knight of justice Wynne Fhey, and the beloved shadow in her heart Pitch. Contains spoilers for the entire game up to patch 7.0.

    These are also going up on Cohost at @of-the-swirling-abyss. That account also has some additional background on Wynne, which I'll probably move over here too at some point.

    Summary

    In a world like Etheirys but not quite, the Final Days have come and gone, leaving the entire population with a unique quandary as they realize their world has been left in a peaceable sort of stasis. Children have grown up, but the old have cease to age. People have stopped dying, and people have stopped being born.

    With true conflict a thing of the past and time a resource everyone has in spades, the world has settled into a state of eternal play. Within this world, Aymeric and Estinien, renown across the star for the way they dance around each other even now, are forced into proximity again by their simultaneous winning of the Xelphatol 500.

    [Conceptualized during Estimeric Week 2024 | Day 4: Alternate Universe, before it got way out of hand.]

    Summary

    I have loved you for a thousand years.
    I'll love you for a thousand more.
    And all along I believed I would find you.
    Time has brought your heart to me.
    ____________________

    When Deryk stumbled upon the mortal whose life he had saved as a child at the behest of Mephina, he simply thought that the precious gift he gave her was simply one of not wanting to see a cherished follower of his die. But the truth will lead him down an unexpected path, one that he never believed he would possibly find again...and one that will make carrying out his final duty all the more difficult.

    Summary

    “We don't have to go,” Althea said, sounding worried as she squeezed at the flesh above Jasmine's hip bones. “You said you'd be willing to go to Tural, but you didn't outright accept Wuk Lamat’s proposal.”

    “And if I don't and she loses, if the warmongering brother of hers becomes this Dawn Servant, we'll have a whole different set of problems,” Jasmine huffed, then sighed. She wouldn't sit idly by as another nation tried to walk the path Garlemald had before it.

    She couldn't.

    Summary

    Three things happened, one after the other, in the span of moments.

    First, Jasmine unlatched the door to the apartment she shared with Althea.

    Second, the door swung open, missing the end of her muzzle by mere ilms.

    Third, she was being scooped up in warm, large, familiar arms, startling a noise from her throat.

    Summary

    In Radz-at-Han, it is tradition to present a woven band to your lover. To beseech the gods to offer divine protection to one for whom you care deeply.

    How much more can be implied in the gesture... may be up for debate.

    Looks at a gift Estinien has purchased for Cimorene, and what they want from it.

    Summary

    On the eve of a new adventure, even the most stalwart of souls may waver. Tural is on the horizon, but Ciardha has long learned all that glitters is not a city of gold.

    ****
    Go now, decide later.

    Perhaps G’raha’s suggestion is the wisest course. It seems logical from all angles, and Ciardha ponders its glimmer as the crunch of gravel gives way to the soft press of grass beneath her boots. A simple answer, or a delayed one, perhaps. Nothing about such a course appears to hold risk or ruin and yet…

    The light is always the easiest part to see, but that which lies tucked behind its glow has more it would tell her yet.

    Summary

    We've started to grow quite fond of writing for certain people and their OCs as returning guests of our word processors, and that includes the ever efficacious Rosa'harrio when put beside not only her three husbands but also her now expanded Scions lineup. And here just in time for Tural and Dawntrail soon to come. Thank you once again to Mags for lending her and them to us to play with with.

    Rosa'harrio Shikhu, Warrior of Light, is in the midst of preparing for a long sea voyage to the continent of Tural with the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Among those joining them alongside Erenville and Wuk Lamat are their three surviving Ancient companions recently returned to life to share one last lifetime with Rosa; Hades, Hythlodaeus and Venat. Hades in particular, motivated by love in his return to be at her side, is joined there in his affections by Estinien Varlineau and G'raha Tia to make a quartet under-girding her own new lease on life.

    Each of their days of late spent in readying themselves for the adventure to come usually ends up interspersed with adventures of a different, though no less welcome, variety...

    Summary

    Zero's goal to find out how to trust finds her asking the Warrior of Light for an answer. Little does she know, there is no trust to be found in that man. Instead, within him she finds a mirror, and in that she may have found what she is looking for.

    Summary

    “Gods know why you picked this place to summer home,” Alisaie laments, seeing the frost on the window war with the warm air inside, lines of condensation drooling down the pane of glass.

    “I grew up in Thanalan where everything is hot.”

    “So you took blessed heat and traded it for the godsdamned cold?!”

    Zu’zu laughs in spite of himself, leaning on his cheek as he smiles at her.

    “I did. I wanted something different. I can always return to the village if I want, vacation there with too many children, too much sun, too much sand, but I wanted a place of my own that could be everything different.”

    It’s then that Alisaie looks away, picking slightly at the grout on the counter.

    “What was it like where you grew up?”
