Summary
He lifted his shadowy hands before himself, patiently watched from the outside-in as the not-flesh cracked open and bled out. An ethereal bloom, a holy crown of blue light poured, wormed itself free from his rotting corpse like maggots from carrion. This was the godliness inside of Barnabas, inside of each and every one of them.

Summary
A collection of daily 250(ish) word drabbles, united under the banner of Cid, Barnabas, and Clive being a silly little kinky power throuple 💕
Disclaimers: Not every piece will be poly but they’ll still contain some combination of the three (Cidclive, Barnaclive, Cidbarna, etc). Ships & tags in chapter titles. Sometimes cutesy, sometimes DDDNE.

Summary
It was no question, whether or not Barnabas was an animal who yearned to obey.
A collection of one-shots and short stories from my self-indulgent “The Lord Marquess & His Loyal Dog” AU💕
Wherein the king of Waloed and the firstborn son of Rosaria’s archduke engage in a marriage of convenience. Years of rejection & scorn at the hands of the archduchess, and an ill-attentive & distant husband, have however turned the once kindly, dependable Clive Rosfield into… something else.

Summary
Barnabas began to separate Mythos from God's will-be flesh, falling for the soul inhabiting His body/5 times Barnabas shepherded Clive back on the divine path, and 1 time Barnabas led himself astray.
OR:
“Why are you here now?” Clive bit out.
“I was commanded to shepherd you once more.”
“Is that all I am to you? A sheep?”
“You are everything to me.” Barnabas Tharmr clawed his up from the buried depths, so persistent as he remained grappled on a precipice with the tips of his fingers.

Summary
Side by side, master and protégé observe the blue waves crashing endlessly against Waloed's steep, rugged cliffs, lined by vines and flowers emerging from their dark cracks.
"She's beautiful," Clive says. "Your country. Why would you not want to cultivate Her?"
He sees his father's throat bulge with a swallow, as he looks upon the violent waters bordering his lands.
"I was waiting for something."
//
A long-forgotten indiscretion gives Barnabas his salvation, at last setting his true purpose in motion. He is ill-prepared for his promised Rapture.

Summary
The Shadow Invasion left wounds across both Hyrule and the Twilight Realm, and neither Zelda nor Midna are eager to face the task of binding them up. Old prejudices and weaknesses are laid bare, and the idea is posed of reuniting the two realms to prosper together. Is their plan a folly born of desperation, or the most revolutionary undertaking either kingdom has seen in centuries?

Summary
Hendrik travels to Dundrasil after everything is over, ostensibly to help with the repairs, but mostly to look for a purpose. He isn't the only one looking. Between fruit-picking and finding the courage to ask questions, El and Hendrik stumble into something sweet together.
“I am making preserves,” Hendrik said.
Eleven made a small nodding motion, like he wanted to be polite but couldn’t bring himself to agree that the mess really was jam.
“Would you like some tea?” Hendrik sighed heavily. “I promise it is far nicer than the preserves.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Post game. An Austen-esque glance at a budding relationship between Hendrik and the Luminary. Very sweet, pretty prose.
