"If only somebody hadn't wrecked the car. Oh my god... Unbelievable." "Oh... I would hate to be that guy... Heh... Oh, c'mon, don't be that way. You know I didn't mean to do it!" "Of course not. Sabotage is far beyond you."

Ignis in the opening of episode duscae 👀

[valentinesparda]

on a serious note I do need to figure out how cade gets out of insomnia and away from the end of kingsglaive to safe in duscae because I don't want them with nyx and I don't want them to leave with luna or libertus. i know they would be working with the kingsglaive on nyx's side but when is the last time they see each other?? when does cade find their way to duscae?? because they have to maintain some sort of innocence of their past as a kingsglaive member but also make it to the hunter-doctor wives that nurse them back to help.

I kind of refuse to have them get their kissing nyx before he rides off to be a hero moment and luna helping them limp along until libertus carries them both out of the city (metaphorically of course because he's driving) mostly because I don't think I deserve the closure lol. and I don't want to go the working with lunafreya route until they pass out from exhaustion and trauma and luna leaves them there but also them escaping with luna plays into the part of their past with their ancestor being sworn to protect the oracle. i guess I could have them get to meet ramuh with luna, protecting her on her journey and running themself ragged, and then found by the hunter-doctors, crossing paths with the boys shortly afterwards. not because I think luna is incapable of running on her own, but because cade wouldn't know what to do on their own

idk. what's the vibe

Ignis' healing magic must be so soothing though..... ._.

Ardyn listened politely as Noctis rambled out all his thoughts and plans. Entering the Citadel rooftop hardly seemed a caper worthy of sneaking, but then he knew everyone could be a bit protective of the prince. Even more so now there was a younger one that was also a foreigner.

“Yeah, that shield seems to block out almost everything sometimes,” Ardyn agreed. “Maybe next time we should sneak out to Leide.”

He laughed at his suggestion, knowing just how much panic Noctis leaving the city would illicit. It wasn’t entirely a joke of course, he missed being able to come and go as he pleased, like he used to in Altissia.

“Maybe there will at least be a couple for us to see, right?”

@agent-jaselin/@ardynzunia liked for a thing!

"Iggy's kind of a worrier." An understatement to say the least. Maybe the most obvious statement that's ever made it way past his mouth, but still.

"So I didn't exactly tell him about this plan." Noctis admitted, taking a quick look around before holding the door open for Ardyn. "I mean, he should congratulate me for learning guard rotations and which doors are easiest to get to and all that, but I'll probably just get a lecture." Not that it was enough to stop him, obviously.

No, Noctis had other plans. Or, the one: simple, harmless. Silly, a little. Once they were out in the garden proper, he was very quiet about unfolding the blanket he'd brought along, laying it on the grass. "Okay, I don't know if we're gonna see anything because of the city lights, but supposedly there's a meteor shower up there."

Y’know when you make it through like 90% of a piece of work and then just. stop. Yeah that was this comic but I was proud enough of it to post it anyway. Based off some dialogue from ep Duscae that never made it into the final game.

bc I love that angst right, I had to do it

Couldn't ask for better

I made this for 7th anniversary for episode Ignis celebration. I know it's belated again. Imagined the chocobros' reactions after Noctis came back from beyond in that pleasant morning. I'll borrow Prompto's line from episode Duscae, " Couldn't ask for better morning."

hi hope you’re well!! id like to request sharing a bed with ignis (or all ffxv boys! up to you!) for the first time please! like there’s only one bed or the booking at hotel went wrong ! it’s up to you! dw if you don’t want to do it :) love ur work!

"This is just peachy..." The sarcasm rolled off Gladio's tongue like molasses as he shot Ignis a glare. "You just had to let blondie down there take care of the booking."

Ignis sighed as he scrunched his legs up further into his chest, trying to give Gladio and their fifth guest more room at the front of the bed. He grunted before addressing the crude remark.

"Tending to Y/N at the time was more important than keeping an eye out on Prompto's sense of rationale."

"Hey!" Prompto exclaimed as he shot up from the foot of the bed. He shoved Gladio's left foot away, grimacing at the aroma that wafted from his calloused toes. "When the receptionist said they had a suite, I assume that means a big space. Where I'm from, a big space means more room which means having more than one bed!"

"There's a reason you didn't pass algebra." Noctis quipped. He earned a swift kick to his side from Prompto and nearly fell off the mattress while he yelped.

"You're one to talk Noct, you only passed the tenth grade cause you copied my material!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not--!"

"Guys, not for nothing, but I'd like to sleep." Y/N sighed.

"Y/N's right," Ignis muttered. "We have a big day ahead of us and it's already late. Let us try to make the best out of the situation."

"Fine, whatever." Noctis breathed. He adjusted his body, lying on his side and facing away from Ignis's legs. He thanked the gods for not being in Prompto's position when it came to catching a whiff of Gladio's feet. The swampy smell was still there from their time in Duscae, and Noctis let out a grunt when he felt nausea pool briefly in his chest.

"You okay down there, Noct?" Y/N asked.

"Yep!" Noctis sighed.

"Good," Y/N tried to keep their eyes upon the ceiling in a vain attempt to ignore the fact they were sandwiched in between both Ignis and Gladio. All the while, their feet were pressed upon Noctis and Prompto. Had they not felt self-conscious being amongst four guys in a single bed, Y/N would've seen the hilarity in all this. How the whole gang was basically crammed onto the mattress like a posse of clowns trapped inside a small vehicle.

"Uh," Y/N made a face as they snapped out of their thoughts. "Gladio, I think you're touching my butt."

"Sorry, my bad!"

"Y/N," Ignis turned his head, raising his voice ever so slight. "This may seem awkward, but we may be able to give Gladio and yourself more wiggle room if you bundle up to me."

"Smooth one, specs." Noctis teased. He let out a wince when Ignis not so subtly jabbed his face with his right foot. Prompto could be heard giggling into his palms at the incident.

Y/N growled a little in their throat. As much as they had grown to enjoy the antics of the boys, now was not the time. Nonetheless, they went through the motions. Their body curled up against Ignis until they were practically spooning the man from behind.

"Finally, I can stretch!" Gladio yawned. He gently reached over and nudged Y/N. "Thanks for taking one for the team."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Y/N muttered in reply. They felt Ignis reach for them, gently coaxing Y/N to put an arm around his waist.

"You sure this is alright?" Y/N tried to whisper against the back of Ignis's head.

"Positive," He replied. "Besides, this will lower the risk of having you wake in a compromising position with anybody."

Y/N quietly laughed at the remark. "Kinda late for that, but okay."

"He's a gentleman like that!" Prompto interjected. He let out an uncomfortable sigh as he moved around, causing the bed to creak. "Gladio, buddy, do you think you can move? You're taking up my side of the bed."

"Your side of the bed?!" Gladio exclaimed, feeling the last straw break the camels back. "This whole bed should've been my side of the bed but you screwed up!"

"And here I thought you liked slumber parties!" Prompto jabbed playfully.

"I outta--!"

"Hey!" Noctis rose up. "You two, shut the hell up and go to sleep! Enough of the cat fight!"

"How about you shut up for a change?" Gladio countered.

"Is that a challenge?"

"Guys, c'mon...I already gotta smell Gladio's fungus feet and I don't want the bed turning into a battle arena!"

"Fungus feet?!"

Y/N shook their head against Ignis, letting out a sigh of disbelief as the commotion between the three pressed on. The gentle squeeze Ignis offered had them slightly perk up.

"They're always like this," Ignis reassured. "And the feelings are mutual, by the way."

The tired reply Ignis gave had Y/N smile from ear to ear, and somehow they could feel themself drifting away among the bantering. Tomorrow would come soon.

HIS ENTRANCE IS NOT VERY GRACEFUL, in the presence of royalty he was quite a bit awkward. bowing with a delay, not very respondent to the cues his brothers were giving. his personality usually made up for it, though! ( it got him this far...) he comes now to greet his friend with another photograph to lighten her day. ❝ hey⸻! you got a minute? ❞ a bright smile, then. offering the camera to her hands. ❝ I couldn't think of ANYONE better to tell me how these turned out! ❞ there was an influx of flowers in various places along his travels ⸻ not something the boys could really judge.
