Playing through Dawntrail on Vallerin and for some reason he was completely taken by the upper region of Urqopacha, particularly the great mountain of Worqor Zormor.

Maybe because it’s tall like him?? Also he was thrilled to take the healing role as Astrologist in that dungeon, having recently caught up with Urianger in that job. 😆

Did your WoL unexpectedly fall for a particular landmark or location?

Ch. 39: Confirmation

The Heart of the Song - Chapter 39 - Juwelz - Final Fantasy XIV [Archive of Our Own]

Summary: A few things are confirmed in this chapter, inside the Waking Sands.

(Takes place post-Heavensward 3.4 during "Beneath A Star-Filled Sky.")

Ch. 38: Spy vs. Spy

The Heart of the Song - Chapter 38 - Juwelz - Final Fantasy XIV [Archive of Our Own]

Summary:

It's a dangerous world of trying to infiltrate, investigate, and intervene in the plots of the Ascians and the Warriors of Darkness. Especially when love is on the line.

(Takes place post-Heavensward 3.4 from "Promises Kept" through "Beneath a Star Filled Sky.")

Notes: We're finally here, at the heart of the original pairing! Poor Urianger--I definitely see him as neuro-divergent and possibly demisexual as well. And for someone who finds emotions a confusing foreign language, I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for him, dealing with the highly emotional Arbert!

Then vs. Now

I was tagged by @displaykitkats on this, so here goes!

Then: (2022/2023)

Thumpurr

D’rhyl

Vallerin

Now: (2025)

Thumpurr was perfect from Day One—I never used anything to change him even the slightest. My other two, on the other hand, went through several changes over the years.

Tagging @sirensongsea and anyone else interested.

Ch. 37: More Than a Friendly Invitation

The Heart of the Song - Chapter 37 - Juwelz - Final Fantasy XIV [Archive of Our Own]

Summary:

Things are going exactly as you'd expect on that dinner date with Aymeric. But surprisingly, it's sweeter than an Ishgardian Creme Brulé.

(Sort of spoilers for post-Heavensward 3.3, "Promises Kept")

[juweldom]

Good opportunity to show off the gpose our FC leader created of Vallerin.

lol he looks mad there. But I can’t forget my other boys Thumpurr and D’rhyl.

Grrrr..... Someone give me their WOL...I need new stuff for my portfolio.... give me your WOLS..........

Ch. 36: A Friendly Invitation

It's Two for Tuesday! (lol I got this chapter done faster than I thought I would.)

The Heart of the Song - Chapter 36 - Juwelz - Final Fantasy XIV [Archive of Our Own]

Summary:

A wrap-up of Estinien's recovery, and a slight dip into AU territory because there's no way I'm allowing Allisae to interrupt a nice dinner--but more to come on that.

(Spoilers for post-Heavensward 3.3, from "Litany of Peace" through the beginning of "A Promise Kept".)

[juweldom]

Happy Starlight!!!

(Damn I do love those fishnet hose and dainty pumps on my bunboy…)

[juweldom]

So 2 Veena and a Shetona walk into a bar…

Yeah, this should be interesting. 🤔

Ch 35: For a Friend

The Heart of the Song - Chapter 35 - Juwelz - Final Fantasy XIV [Archive of Our Own]

Summary:

Sometimes you have to risk it all to save a friend. And remember a love that was never spoken.

(Spoilers for post-Heavensward 3.3 from "An Ally to Ishgard" to "An End to the Song.")

Note: A little surprise! Enjoy the bonus Aymeric/Estinien gratuitous sex scene. I wanted to show a little of their backstory before proceeding forward.

[juweldom]

Dancing!Bunbun 😁

Ch. 34: Revelations and Resolutions

The Heart of the Song - Chapter 34 - Juwelz - Final Fantasy XIV [Archive of Our Own]

Summary:

A transition chapter, but we're getting closer to the good stuff. Two attempts at a peace conference, one Grand Melee, and an Estiinien in a Nidhogg suit.

(Post-Heavensward 3.2 spoilers from "The Word of the Mother" through "Causes and Costs" with also some content from the Warring Triad questline)

[juweldom]

Thumpurr has always been a good swimmer and enjoys swimming—he jumped in the water even before Allisae in the Ruby Sea, and the very first Society quests he completed was the Kojin so that he could have a manta of his own.

D’rhyl tackled swimming the same way he tackles anything physical—with gusto.

Vallerin, having grown up in the North Shroud, did not really know how to swim. He couldn’t turn down a challenge from Allisae though so he struggled and doggy paddled until she taught him (she didn’t harass him for not knowing because she was impressed that he just jumped in and tried).

Does your WoL like to swim? Were they able to swim before they gained the ability to breathe underwater? Or is swimming something they'd rather avoid?

[juweldom]

Vallerin struggles to find outfits he likes outside of artifact gear, but I do have some that I’ve played around with and liked.

For elezen aficionados!

Ch 33: Reunions

The Heart of the Song - Chapter 33 - Juwelz - Final Fantasy XIV [Archive of Our Own]

Sort of a transition chapter; a new friend, an old friend, a new family, an old flame. And always the threat to the star.

(Heavensward 3.0 spoilers, from "Another Time, Another Place" to "As It Once Was" and the side quest "Gods of Eld")

OMG I can't believe a month went by. Work has been crazy busy, I had a persistent cold for 2 weeks, and I was fumbling trying to figure out what to include in this chapter. I'm happy with how it turned out, however, and feeling more charged to get working on the next one.

Love Unukalhai but he really is a strange kid.

[juweldom]

I’m struggling to write. Meanwhile, Vallerin finished Endwalker!!!

I may suck at gpose but I’m kinda happy with these screenshots (picture 2 is a gpose)…

[juweldom]

I’m poly so it makes sense that all my characters are poly—except for my lala who currently is ace. But she’s only in post ARR and I have this feeling she’s going to really like Krile.

My bunboy has a very high sexual drive (he’s only in his thirties, young for a Viera) and has slept with every Scion except Y’shtola (he’s working on it) and the lalas and doesn’t like being tied down but loves Raha the most.

My Sunkeeper is a Nunh. Enough said.

And my elfboy loved Haurchefant, loves Urianger, and I can’t say more since I have a WIP with him.

Is your WoL polyamorous or strictly monogamous? Or are they simply uninterested in the whole thing?
