#Ardyn/Gentiana

[lunarlegend]

Ardyn, shush

[hiddeneosbymrsflowerpot]

I love Gentiana’s transformation into Shiva, from freezing Ardyn with the touch of her finger to appearing as the Goddess before Noctis. It’s the perfect opportunity to photograph the details of her outfit. Her eyes change from green to violet, her brazier is made of swirling frost adorned with silver and blue gems and her impossible hairstyle is braided to look like icicles.  Her fingers and toes have the same electric blue manicure and she wears blue gems on her knees.  She may be frosty but she is beautiful.

Springing for the Latin with the ask game! Arma Deorum Sunt let's gooooooo

WIP File Game

*cracks knuckles* You better strap in because I have been wanting to talk about this fucking behemoth of a WIP for literal god damn months but have been too worried to annoy people about it.

Arma Deorum Sunt is very very loosely translatable to either "the gods are weapons" or "they are the weapons of the gods" according to whatever translator site I used when I was brainstorming a fic title. And it's incredibly on the nose given what this story is about.

The basic pitch is thus: modern day crossover of FFXV and FFXVI (although it's really just taking Valisthea and shoving it east of Lucis lmao) where magic is still prevalent in the world via crystals and Bearers but Dominants haven't been seen in at least a thousand years, fading into myth. That is until within a very short amount of time 4 different children - Lunafreya, Noctis, Dion, and Joshua - are chosen by their respective gods (Eikons, Astrals, however they would be called within their culture) to become Dominants. Which ultimately uncorks the bottle and over time more and more awaken. As the initial quartet are basically children, and either royal or noble children at that, they get to enjoy a few years just being kids who happen to have special powers, but if you know anything about either game's story those happy times aren't going to last long.

The major inciting incident that'll kick everything off is honestly the most serendipitous blend of the tragedies of Fenestala Manor from XV and Phoenix Gate from XVI, as the Niflheim Empire at that time has no Dominant of its own and tries to capture them while the four are all together. How exactly that infamous night goes down I'll leave for whenever I actually have the time to dedicate to writing the fic.

I will however give a few highlights from the outline that I love most.

Luna and Jill grow up together, which I loved the idea of as a mirror to Luna being watched over by Gentiana/Shiva in XV. Jill awakens as a Dominant much later than Luna did so when she finally does come into her icy powers she has a keen understanding of what's going to happen to her from having watched what Luna has to go through as Niflheim's pawn. She knows immediately that she's just become another tool for Niflheim to use.

Joshua survives the tragedy and when the Undying swoop in to rescue him they're granted safe passage to Lucis to help him recover. And there Joshua remains for a long time in secret, growing close to Noctis and the other chocobros while keeping an eye on Valisthea from afar. I admit this is mostly because I wanted to let Joshua and Prompto becomes buds.

Speaking of Prompto, he's among the folks who get to become a Dominant in the fic but I'm being mean to him. Given the circumstances surrounding his unique background he would not have been rescued from Niflheim as a baby like in XV canon, and he gets to spend the most one on one time with Ardyn. Sorry Prom :(

Clive, I feel, gets the shortest straw physically possible. Taken prisoner in Sanbreque and forced into their military, no longer just branded as a dispensable soldier but known rather infamously for what went down that night at Fenestala and made use of as the Dominant of Ifrit. Thankfully Dion and Terence will take a much more active role in staying by Clive's side and doing what they can to help him.

I'm also quite eager to write Ardyn in this fic. I had to reconstruct his backstory to better fit the vibe I'm going for but he's still the same slimy bastard we all know and love (to hate). He and Barnabas both have antagonistic roles to play in the fic but I do feel Ardyn shines just a bit more lol.

Can I ask a bit about your process for making Nova Fae and Goblin? I have this need to make my ffxv ocs but also I dont even know where to begin

Nova: For Nova, I just made a person in character creator for comrades to play with Mod Mae and slowly built up her personality and life. I find that I put in a little bit of my own personality when I make characters and Nova was no different. If you want any specific information I'm more than happy to answer! Mae: Absolutely! Thank you for asking! I encourage OCs whole-soul. For my Goblin OC, I tried to tug at the avatara sliders until I got something that was normal looking in that dorky, non-glamorous way, like someone I'd pass at the coffee shop. I love how detailed the face and body options are, even if the hair and clothing options are... slim pickings. I don't know what compelled me to take Sarah's dress and Gentiana's boots, but they stuck.

(My efforts to mod new avatara clothes began about two months ago and have as of yet proven futile.)

Writing with Nova really filled in the rest! Goblin's gimmick is that she has every opportunity to make good decisions, but is ineluctably compelled towards bad decisions, namely Ardyn. I then try to let that inform my screenshots by catching the patron saint of responsibility making sour faces at her, and also cheating Ardyn into the party so that they can stand vaguely near each other while I pine and blush and accidentally die to a havocfang.

Regarding that one Royal Bastard Au where Bahamut set the Prophecy to Regis' firstborn.

Maybe I am underestimating Ace's self-esteem issues but I got the impression that Ramuh is the only Astral who could get Ace to agree to go along with this. And maaaybe Leviathan, but I wouldn't bet in this.

If Gentiana/Shiva tried this, Ace's reaction would probably be a furious "Fuck No". Bahamut might actually Get Stabbed, because if the Prophecy requires a sacrifice then why not sacrifice the fucker who set it up in the first place a Deity? Much more power for the Magic this way.

This also led to my imagining a Reveal scenario where Regis finds out about his firstborn's existence (but not his identity) because Gentiana showed up in Insomnia to bitch about Ace refusing to follow her stupid plans Divine Command to kill his father Ardyn the Accursed.

Ace is like. The Dude Willing to Die for His Family. In Fact the only reason hes still alive at the end of his fic is because Mors yeeted him out of the afterlife. You are definitely underestimating his self esteem issues but you are spot on on how fucking stubborn he is!

So lets say that Ace decides that NOPE HES NOT PLAYING ALONG FUCK YALL which would likely end up in either 1) a showdown with Bahamut 2) the crystal breaking like it did in his canon or 3) a show down with Bahamut but this time its a ace-ardyn team up

Lets go with three for funnies.

-

Ace wishes he could blame his current situation on anyone other than himself. He can’t though, because the fact he and Ardyn are fighting a fucking god is solely because Ace is the King of Bad Life Choices and Ardyn found out about them.

He didn’t plan on Ardyn finding out that he was going to go and beat some sense into Bahamut but Ramuh is a fucking snitch and so are all of his Messengers.

(Ace is making sure Blueberry isn’t given any steak for a month. That’ll show the fucking cat.)

So here the two of them are, bloodied and cracking at the seams with light and darkness and Bahamut is bright bright bright so full of light it’s blinding. The god of war is hard to kill but even he makes mistakes.

Bahamut’s sword pierces through Ace’s gut and the light beneath his skin sparks like lightning. Ace didn’t expect to survive, it makes sense to get rid of the extra in than have to find a new antagonist after all, but the shock of pain the courses through him sends him to his knees.

The darkness that follows isn’t surprising, neither is they way the light around them shudders and fades and night coats the earth. Ace knew Ardyn cared, that the unspeakable thing between them was heavy and fraught with meaning but this-

It’s confirmation, it’s something Ace didn’t want but something he’s getting anyway.

There’s the screech of metal on metal and Ace pulls at the sword in his gut, pulls it out despite every warning in his head telling him its a bad idea and somehow he finds the strength to stand.

Ace peers through the darkness and finds his uncle in it, he finds Ardyn strangling the last vestige of light from Bahamut and Ace stumbles toward his uncle just as it dies. The world around them shatters as Ace falls into his uncles arms and they land somewhere with sun breaking through a large window.

This should mean something, it doesn’t.

Is he going to die? Maybe. But the light around him is breathtaking and his uncles arms are warm.

There’s a warmth coming from his wound and neither Ardyn or Ace realize what’s going on until Ace looks down and realizes his uncles hand is glowing and the hole in his stomach is no longer there.

“Useful,” Ace says and looks up at his uncle, “Thanks.”

He then passes out and wonders why the last thing he sees is ornate mouldings on the ceiling. Last he checked they weren’t outside.
