#;;noctis: threads

[mare--noctis]

It's a slippery slope, this writing lark.

Introducing the Cassidy McGarrett-Williams series:

Nā Kaula O Ke Kai

(Thread of the Tide)

Pai na lima, ae na waha.

In Hawaii, ohana means no one gets left behind. But in a world of shadowed pasts and unspoken truths, family can be both a refuge and a battlefield.

Years before becoming a decorated Navy SEAL, Cassidy McGarrett-Williams was a girl without a home, fighting to survive in the darkest corners of the world. Her unexpected meeting with Commander Steve McGarrett, a man with his own scars, set them both on a path of no return—one that would redefine the meaning of ohana.

Now, on temporary duty with the reassembled Five-O Task Force, Cassidy works alongside her fathers and the team of seasoned investigators to protect the islands she’s come to call home. But their cases—ranging from sinister cults to multinational crime syndicates—reveal a far more personal threat: the fine line between loyalty and betrayal.

From the fateful choices that changed Cassidy’s life forever (Lae Hoi ʻOle) to the battles that bind her to Hawaii’s shores (Ke Koko E Pā‘a Ai Kākou), this series is a gripping saga of resilience, justice, and the family you choose to fight for.

Between this and SEAL The Deal, I am so excited to show you guys what I've been up to.

@madeimpact ;; STARTER w/ Ignis !

The Advisor to the Heir Apparent should not be one to moan and groan, even when his head ails him beyond reason, and his chest feels as if it may collapse in on itself. When the call to work beckons him, he answers, even when he appears as if he has one foot in the grave and the other, soon, to join it.

--- and, perhaps he should not be tidying up the prince's quarters in so poorly a state, but it is on the list of urgent and prioritized tasks, for the day, and thus, cannot simply be ignored. Except . . . at some point amidst making Noctis' bed, he had seated himself atop it, for a spell, with the intent to rest for but a moment . . .

Only to eventually drift off, right atop the comforter, shoes and socks and spectacles still on.

This baby has a birthday next week 10/13 and... she absolutely forgot. She is consumed with excitement for Halloween only. Someone should remind her.

● – || @infideliis​ continued from HERE 

● – || Noctis watched Ravus’ frustration grow the longer that they trained . Frankly , he thought what he said was nice and comforting but Ravus seemed to get angry and upset . They had been training all day , so it seemed logical that they would be tired . Noctis was still in recovery , so he got tired easily . He didn’t see why someone like Ravus wouldn’t get tired too . 

When the knife hit the training dummy , the young Prince of Lucis winced , taking a step back from the other . 

“ I know that , but I’m not that good at it . Gladio says so all the time . ” 

Noctis replied , making his way over to the dummy . 

“ Uncle Cor says it just takes practice . So , maybe it just takes practice for you too . ”

They were going to get better at training , Noctis just knew it . For now , they would have to struggle together , but that’s why they had people around them who wanted to help them succeed .

@tenebriism || bringing this back from the dead

Ignis can say he's fine all he wants. But despite having asked in the first place, Noctis knows a drunk Ignis when he sees one. No matter what he says, the prince is going to help get whatever or go wherever he needs. His advisor can't be left to fend for himself like this.

Noctis is just about to offer to help him to a seat, when Ignis seemingly accepts that offer before it can even be made. Noct startles ever so slightly when Ignis grasps his hand -- something he's normally way too straight-laced to even consider doing.

It's a little endearing...

No. Noctis shakes the thought out of his head. Ignis is drunk. He shouldn't be having these sorts of thoughts about him. It's just...nice to see him loosen up a bit. Yeah, that's it.

Swallowing the lump he didn't realize appeared in his throat, Noctis lets himself be dragged along to the indicated seat, sort of steering Ignis away from any accidental collisions with other guests. Any close calls would get a nod and a curt, but polite apology from Noctis.

Eventually, they reach some seating along the wall, out of the way of other partygoers. Noct guides Ignis to sit, placing a hand on his back without so much as a second thought.

❝ There you go. Easy does it, ❞ he soothes. ❝ I can, uh -- grab you some food or water if you need it. ❞

[ardynzunia]

"A loophole... Let's just- It's just a book. It's fine." If they ignore it, maybe it will go away? That's always been Noctis' strategy, for. Well, anything that was uncomfortable, really.

Arctus snorted, he supposed it didn't matter what Noctis did til closer to time.

"I's fine, I'll figure it out," He said. "Go back to being normal for now."

“Smash or Pass) Esmeralda

@streetwisetemptress

“Smash.” Noctis proclaimed, answering the question instantly without any hesitation before politely looking the other up and down and licking his lips. He then closed his eyes and returned to his thoughts prior to the question.

[mjm5655]

❝ guys, i have a small problem, so there's this kid, n' he won't stop pesterin' me to go fishin' with him, he literally wants to fish everyday, i'm concerned, he seems addicted to it. send help. ❞

he is of course, talking about noctis, that kid's not left him alone since he discovered majima fishing at the sotenbori river.

[luxbeati]

@lunaetis has chosen my favorite AU for a starter, which is also old as shit. ( for Tifa )

Noctis hadn’t been down under the plate in a while, busy keeping up with Mr. Tuesti’s paperwork and other things, while also maintaining his own health. Midgar was so hard to live in, the constant pollution and Mako production, but living on the Plate was so much better for him than living underneath it, despite making him closer to the planet.

So his trips were less frequent of late, but finally he’d had a chance to wander underneath and follow the planet’s directions to where he was needed most. Today it happened to be closer to the disk wall surrounding the city, as close as he could get to the Wastelands without stepping foot outside the city. He’d not been trained to fight, his only lessons outside what normal children would get were how to blend in and help keep the planet alive.

He did as much as he could while going unnoticed, occasionally having to stop and hide if a patrol or passerby took too much interest in him. Initially Noctis thought that he was doing well, breathing some life back into the soil beneath him. That was until he tried to stand to return to his home, no strength in his legs to support him sending him crashing back down to unyielding earth.

It was embarrassing to be sure, but it meant he could stay and listen to the pleased voice from the planet, small thanks and regrets that the task would fall to her children to help her survive until the Promised Day.

“ It is no trouble, mother. I am just sorry that I could not do more. “ Noctis keeps his voice quiet, best to seem like a crazed man talking to himself than a Cetra speaking to the planet. He would continue with his conversation, quiet as he could, hoping that at the very least, someone would just walk by and not help.

Perhaps today was the day not to wear nice clothing… though he hadn’t exactly planned on sitting in the dirt until he could walk again.

kusatta + for nikki

"so you gonna read me a bedtime story tonight or. . .?" tone is playful as he picks the book up off the nightstand, idly flipping through the pages, glancing up over at nikki from over the top of the book.

[cpirits]

★ ━━━━━━ Hands buried in his hair, Noctis pressed his skull, the back of his neck tingly, which only made a pit of worry deep in his gut. He felt like he'd throw up from the stress; though he knew talking was good he didn't want to alarm everyone -- especially Ignis, he'd go all Mother Hen.

Noctis innately missed everything back home, but it was gone, his Father was dead and he never had time to mourn, still just pushing on as the war ravaged every corner, and they couldn't stop for very long. It all set him on edge constantly and his mind had been troubled ever since they set foot on the road.

"I wish it could be over fast, I wish we didn't have to do what we do." He leaned back on the ground, turning on his side; he really did feel sick. "I hate being a Prince in this situation."

cpirits​:

〜 多くの魂 ———  It was strange that he only thought about when he fought beasts and the like, though it had also been present when he tried to sleep, that nagging feeling, like one of these days he’d wake up to find the camp deserted and himself the only one. It made his stomach turn as he didn’t know the reason for the flashes and feelings he was having. 

〜 多くの魂 ———  Holding his arm, Noctis frowned and looked out again at the scenery before them ( Ignis and Gladio were already hard at work preparing food and drink fo the four ) so he didn’t want to worry everyone. Prompto was his best friend, and he could be trusted with the secret for now. “I just…” He bit his lip, afraid to speak his mind about it, as if it would suddenly mae it real. He didn’t wat to be alone, he couldn’t handle it all by himself ( that was the entire reason they all came along ).

〜 多くの魂 ———  He sat down on the ground, leaning his head in his hands. “It’s not easy Prompto… losing my Father and the kingdom to those jerks.” He clenched a fist and sighed. “I want to be with you all even after i become King, if that happens….”

Prompto wishes he can do more than just listen like this. Their journey was supposed to be a happy one. He had been so excited for Noctis and Lunafreya’s wedding, and now, no one knows if it will truly happen because they need to deal with the war first. It’s normal, but their journey is now so DIFFERENT than what was first planned.

The gunner is glad he at least learned to fight and became a member of the Crownsguard before they left Insomnia. At least, he can be USEFUL to Noctis, Gladio and Ignis. He’s a bit clumsy on the battlefield, but it could have been far worse. 

He nods. “But we’ll be at your side, buddy. Iggy is still gonna be your advisor, Gladio is still gonna be your shield, and I’m still gonna be your best friend. We’ll all be there for you and fight at your side if it’s necessary.” He assures, letting a smile cross his features. 

[ardynzunia]

"Even you...?" Now he felt bad for even bringing it up. "I- I mean it's just a dumb story, it's not like... It's not like it's real..."

"Yes, even me." He didn't mention who was meant to kill him. "And it isn't a story, it's real."

He shoved the text book he was reading onto the shelf.

"But if it helps, I'm trying to find a loophole."

kusatta liked ❀ for a starter + noctis !

"noct, it's getting late. don't you think we should find somewhere to rest for the night?"
