While many of my pieces on AO3 are still locked up in a collection, I do have many that are public. :D Final Fantasy XV songs that died centuries ago ignoct reincarnation AU Summary: Noctis and Ignis recognized each other when they met as children. No matter how many lifetimes they pass through, they always find one another. Length: oneshot, 1345 words Noctis isn’t sure why, but he remembers pieces of lifetimes like the quick flip through a photograph album. The emotions—fear, grief, love, hatred—overwhelm him. He’s too young to know where these thoughts come from, why they’re there. Spell of the Stars ignoct Summary: When the thirteen stars of the Chosen King Constellation shine down upon Eos at their brightest, it gives two ghosts the power to be almost human again. Length: oneshot, 868 words They still spend their days and nights together in the Citadel, banging messages through the walls and curling up on the dusty covers of old beds. But they only had a short time in this season to touch one another. The annual ball had become a romantic game between the two. Would they find one another and dance for the rest of the evening, or be doomed to spend their night being passed from stranger to stranger? Wandering Souls ignoct dad AU Summary: Noctis is a single dad and widower who found his family's business too stressful and demanding, and now he lives on the road with his son. Similarly, Ignis is a motorcyclist who became tired of the daily grind of life in Insomnia and quit his job to travel. Being on the road means seeing a lot of different faces, but when they catch eyes at a diner in Hammerhead, both Ignis and Noctis realize that sometimes it’s nice to wake up to the same face every day. Length: 14 chapters (complete), 46,720 words

“Daddy, did you make a new friend?”

“Yeah, his name is Ignis.”

“Cool. You need friends.”

Leave it to a five-year-old to point out all his flaws and shortcomings.

Original Works Stargazers' Hill Summary: Thaddeus Whittaker began his new life in a coffin. After running away from an orphanage, Thaddeus stowed away in a coffin destined for the Glasser Mortuary. He is taken in by the family and becomes fast friends with their youngest son, Ambrose. What Thaddeus doesn't know is someone is looking for him, and the disappearance of his stepfather was no accident at sea. Length: 17/63 chapters (still posting, though the work is complete) For the first time in their lives, the people at the Glasser Mortuary did the opposite of their jobs: they pulled a body out of a casket. This one happened to be breathing, which was fortunate for all of them. Humphrey Glasser did not need his hard-earned reputation to be shaken by a police investigation. Rascal Note: this stands alone from Stargazers' Hill and can be read separately Summary: With a stressful job as the breadwinner of the household, Hazel unwinds at home by surrendering control to his trustworthy partner, Ferdinand. The youngest "Raston Rascal" is under pressure to follow in his father's footsteps. It includes everything from his job to his hobbies to his lifestyle choices. But when there's a new airship being built, one that the Rastons have invested in, Hazel finds a growing interest in the vessel for all the wrong reasons. Length: 60/60 chapters, 159930 words Hazel is in the perfect position of his erotic fantasies: a handsome man has him across his lap, one leg burrowed into the angle of Hazel’s bent form, toes lifted off the ground. Ferdinand’s sleeves are indeed rolled nearly to his elbows, and the slipper is going to leave a lasting impression that has Hazel relishing in the pain all night and into tomorrow. Ungrateful Little Princeling Note: best read after reading at least the first 4 chapters of Rascal Summary: The first time Hazel is ever called an Ungrateful Little Princeling. The insult follows him into adulthood, as do the unpleasant memories. Length: oneshot, 2455 words

Beside Hazel’s arm sits the remaining pieces of the model, retrieved from the yard. The car has been snapped off the platform, and the exterior is scraped and smashed. The window glass is shattered.

Reselling will be impossible. The model is now trash.

Ravish Him Note: can be read before Rascal Summary: Hazel Raston might have been a little drunk when he first spotted Ferdinand Aletto standing by the nearest exit of the dormitory common room. So drunk, in fact, that he snagged Sinclair’s sleeve and hissed much too loudly in his ear, “Who is he? I want to ravish him.” Specifically, Hazel wanted to rip the stranger’s buttons off his shirt with his teeth and lick his chest down to his navel until he had his cock in his mouth. Length: oneshot, 7974 words Ferdinand dressed in his finest, snappiest outfit. He also dressed two hours too soon, because his thoughts were on little else but the young man with the butterscotch hair and chrysanthemum orange eyes. Woeful Spring Colds Note: can be read before Rascal, but best if you know the dynamic between Hazel and Ferdinand Summary: Ferdinand can always count on Hazel to take care of him when he has a cold. In turn, Hazel can count on Ferdinand to paint his ass red whenever they're no longer sick. Length: oneshot, 2838 words As soon as he straightens up, he takes a few deep breaths with his eyes shut tight. There is no mistaking it: he has caught something. It is inevitable in a customer service job, and arranging flowers for people who buy them for loved ones at hospitals means all sorts of colds and flus are passed around the flower shop. Even someone as robust as Ferdinand ends up catching something once a year. Eda, Darling Note: best read after chapter 40 of Rascal Summary: After her lawyers contact Willie, Edith Anne goes home to face her future ex-husband. Length: oneshot, 2623 words

Many people—especially my son—think I’m brave by nature. It’s never that easy. If I have the option to delay unpleasant matters for a short time, I’ll stay somewhere safe and harden my exoskeleton like a freshly-molted animal. Confrontations are best when planned to do the least damage.

Oh yes, I can react in a snap if necessary. The wife of someone as impulsive and reckless as William Raston must be. Kingdom Hearts Pretty Cute Smile Demyx/Ienzo Summary: It was simple. All he had to say? “No.” But the moment Ienzo smiled, one corner of his upturned lips hidden behind his bangs, Demyx caved. The word “no” was lost temporarily. Length: oneshot, 908 words

He enjoyed Ienzo’s company, and he was going to have it one way or another. In fact, maybe he liked Ienzo a little better than Zexion, because Ienzo smiled.

And that smile was pretty cute.

Language of Flowers Strelitzia, Lauriam Summary: They didn’t mind getting their hands covered in soil and compost, leaving dustings of it across the stairs of Daybreak Town. Length: oneshot, 485 words Lauriam taught his sister about the different local bees and other pollinators when she was but a wee thing standing in his shadow. The trellises in their family garden bloomed and fruited every spring, the vines clenched around the soft wood as if little arms clinging upward to beat the other plants to the sun.

It's clear Seika's main inspirations for aesthetic are cats, and Coyote's animal inspiration is in his name, but do any of the other IGNI stars have any inspirations from animals?

Oh yeah- partially by accident, but each of the heroes have an animal mascot.

4U's full name is literally "White Wolf", but he does NOT like that name and goes by 4U for short ( WW, Double U - Double U, 2U+2U, 4U). He mainly has that theme because it's the town's high school sports mascot, and his hockey mask was custom made to look like one.

Cordy is semi an exception- as their mascot is the Cordyceps mushroom (y'know, the parasitic zombie mushroom) but by proxy they kinda take bugs as their mascot- namely moths taken over by cordyceps (which admittedly I need to integrate a bit more). If you look closely at the bag they keep at their side- it's got little antenna flaps and two buttons to look like eyes.

Widow King's is spiders- mainly due to the hard light strings + trapping combat style he uses. His spider aesthetic was not intended- but he kinda got stuck with the label along with the name "Widow King" just due to the rest of the team having 'em, so it's not really baked into his outfit as much as the other heroes.

Are you still working on your SI!Leviathan verse? Asking, cause recently I have wondered - you wrote a seaborne!Regis au but what about a seaborne!Noctis?

Like, my initial idea was that maybe it was during the Marilith Incident when he was 8. I don't recall any canon info about the precise location (besides between Insomnia and Galdin Quay), but there could be a river or maybe it was near a seashore.

Either way, bb Noctis is thrown into the water during the attack, too injured to swim, maybe even doesn't know how to yet. And Thalassa, well, she's not heartless, she's not gonna leave a little kid dead. (And maybe there's a small voice at the back of her head that points out that it could help her derail the prophecy, if the newest Chosen King was her sea-child.) She turns him into one of her seaborne.

Noctis stays with his Tidemother only long enough to get hang on his transformation (so 1-2 weeks, tops) because Thalassa doesn't want to draw attention to this. Not yet. And then she puts on a vaguely human shape, kinda like Shiva's Messanger form, and takes Noctis back to Insomnia, to his father.

(Regis was Panicking and Raging the entire time Noctis was missing, and thinking that Nilfheim grabbed his baby boy. He Refuses to contemplate the other option.)

No idea what would happen next, exactly, but it would involve a major bsod on Regis and Co's part when they realise Leviathan helped a Lucis Caelum and Much Research into both prophecy and the Astrals, and merfolk legends.

Also, Ignis and Gladio Despairing because Noctis no longer hides from his lessons under the bed, oh no. Now he hides at the bottom of a pond in Citadel's gardens.

While this is a fabulous idea, it doesn't work with the lore I've built for the verse.

Don't get me wrong, Thalassa would 100% be ready and willing to adopt Noctis (especially after she decides that Regis is Her Person), Bahamut already laid claim to Noctis the moment he was born and once and Astral has done so, they've pretty much declared them off limits to their siblings. And while Bahamut has already bent and broken quite a few Laws, Leviathan will not cross that line.

BUT! FOR FUNSIES!

It is absolutely in character for Thalassa to fuck with the prophecy at every available opportunity so, of course, when smol, baby, heavily injured Chosen King crashes into her waters, she's going to snatch him up. (Bahamut: YOU DARE - Thalassa: Well I didn't see you stepping in. What was I supposed to do let him die???)

It'd be longer than 2 weeks, more like 6-12 months. Thalassa isn't gonna rush her new baby's induction just because he's a prince. That title doesn't mean anything to her anyway - he's not her prince. He's her newest son.

So please imagine, Regis absolutely losing his mind over his missing boy. Refusing to believe the worst even though there is no evidence Noctis survived. Nilfheim could have taken him, could have spirited him away into some laboratory - no. No. He will not stop looking until he finds his son or he finds a body. And if he finds a body, Nilfheim will be reminded what happens when a Lucis Caelum takes the field.

As it is, Regis takes a far more active role in the actual warfare - in a way he hasn't ever. In way his father hadn't either. He runs missions himself, draws up plans, and starts pushing Nilfheim back in a way Lucis hasn't managed in years.

AND THEN.

Even with the positive turn of the war, months have passed. Regis is a widowed king with a missing heir. His counsel is making noises about him remarrying, about securing the line of succession. Regis won't hear of it. Despite being no closer to finding his son, he refuses to consider the alternative, refuses to even contemplate replacing him.

And it is in the middle of such an argument with the counsel when there is the sudden crystal fracture sound of a warp mixed with the crashing of a wave as a small whirlwind of water condenses in the room.

The woman that emerges from it is ethereal and inhuman and dangerous. Long sea green hair done up in braids with sea glass and shells and driftwood. She's dressed in sheer layers of cloth that shimmer in the light like rippling water. Her golden eyes flicker over his counsel dismissively before landing on Regis, a grin tugging on her lips revealing pointed teeth.

"King of Lucis," she greets with a nod of her head, "I believe you are missing something."

"Dad!"

His eyes jerk down and that's his son. His Noctis, whole and hale and alive, holding this strange woman's hand and he's here -

Regis doesn't even realized he's warped across the room until he and Noctis are crashing into each other, clinging desperately to any part of each other they can reach.

"How-?" he gasps out around his tears.

Noctis pulls back and Regis can't help the way his grips tightens. His son doesn't let go though, just looks up at him with eyes that are the wrong color and says, "Mother rescued me!"

Regis blinks. "...Mother?"

The woman hums, startling him. "And now he has been returned home, safe and sound," she says, smoothing a hand over his son's hair. "Different than before, but no less loved for it, hmm?"

It sounds almost like a threat but Regis isn't given any time to reply to that before Noctis is blinking up at her.

"You're leaving?" he asks.

The woman nods, leaning down to place a tender kiss on his son's forehead. "This place is not for me. But I will visit from time to time should you wish."

"Yes!" Noctis demands instantly.

She chuckles. "Very well, Sweet Prince. Until next time."

And between one blink and the next, she is gone. She is gone and Regis has no answers and no explanation, but his son is in his arms, safe and alive, and that is all he ever wanted.

#ask #elri answers #sweat tears or the sea au #anonymous #anon #could leviathan have warped into the room without the water tornado?#yes #but she's a dramatic bitch so also no #also feel like i need to point out that thalassa does not save everyone from drowning #she doesn't just hang around and snatch people left right and center #they have to /ask/#and even then it isn't necessarily a done deal #but /they have to ask/#and noctis wouldn't have known to ask #so #definitely would not happen in canon verse #but it's a fun idea

Marshal’s Creed FFXV Fanfic

Summary:

Cor dresses up for the annual Halloween gala in hopes to win a bet. Can he beat out everyone else at the party with the best costume?

Notes:

I had a fun prompt from my friend @ragewerthers for Cor Leonis getting invited to a Halloween party.... but what in the HELL is he supposed to go as?! Do Regis and Clarus help him? Do the boys help him? Does he decide to go scary? Funny? Mythical?

I hope you all enjoy, I had fun writing this! :)

Work Text:

“What is he wearing?” Regis asked under his breath from where they were standing near the steps to the throne.

“Not so sure, but it seems pretty popular with the ladies,” Clarus admitted as he craned his neck to see better.

“Dear six, he looks half-naked!” spluttered Regis after a moment.

“Sorta, he’s got pants and maybe something someone would consider a shirt on.” Though Clarus was still clueless as to what Cor had dressed up as. The annual Halloween gala was always a fun event. However, the marshal never dressed up.

Ever.

It was only the quick thinking of Regis with the tempting draw of a bet that enticed their friend into wearing anything special this year. A hefty amount of 500gil sat waiting for Cor if he dressed up and won one of the sundry costume awards to be gifted that night. The prizes given out were little awards trinkets, and the bragging rights until the next party. Of course, Cor could care less about any of that, the only reason he’d even agreed, was to prove Regis wrong and maybe relieve him of some decent spending cash.

The king had figured Cor wasn’t creative enough to even stand a chance. Regis had merely snorted and waved him off when the marshal assured them he’d win something. Now, as Clarus watched their friend navigate through the crowd he was beginning to think Regis might have to pay up at the end of the night.

The squeals of impressed party goers only got louder as Cor approached, as did the flash of lights from photos being snapped. The crowds dispersed once he’d reached the king. Cor yawned once seemingly bored with the whole affair already. “You might as well give me the money now, Regis.”

“Never!” the king hissed, “You aren’t going to win, look at you! What is that, it looks like a pile of rags!”

Before Cor could answer a young staffer passing by interrupted them with a shout, “Awesome costume!” They left just as quickly as Clarus began to examine the outfit in more detail.

“I’m afraid I’m lost as to what you are, care to enlighten us?”

“Eh, this? I have no idea, Noct helped me pick it out. Said it was the best costume to wear and had Ignis go online and order me one before I could say no.”

“You asked my son to help you?”

“Nope, he found out I was going to dress up and he nearly flipped. How could I say no, he begged me to let him help.”

“Still what the hell are you?” Regis asked in exasperation.

“An assassin I think?” Cor supplied with a furrowed brow. “Honestly, the kid was talking too fast for me to catch the exact name, but he said it was from a game.”

“Why in the heck would an assassin wear that? Your entire right side is exposed, seems like a defensive nightmare.”

“I’ll admit it’s not exactly realistic but it’s comfy at least.” Cor offered with a shrug.

“I don’t know why you let my son talk you into this, you look ridiculous.” Regis was about to add more when another party-goer/staffer wandered by and started staring. They were of course after a picture of Cor. The staffer was young and blushing like mad but still managed to ask for a selfie.

“I’m sorry what were you saying majesty? I got pulled away to have my picture taken because I’m going to win.”

Regis sneered and turned around to walk away. Clarus couldn’t help but snicker at the sight. Regis was a sore loser so a part of him hoped Cor wouldn’t win, but he probably would. The marshal, though not a youthful twenty-year-old anymore, could hold his own in the looks department. He was only in his forties now but still trained just as hard. His well-defined six-pack was evidence of that. Clarus suspected that most of the girls wandering over were trying to get a better look at what he’d been hiding under his guard uniform.

Cor for once didn’t mind the attention and even smiled for a few shots. It was nice to see his friend out of his element for once. “Have you seen his highness?” Clarus asked, figuring Noct would have at least had to help Cor get ready. Otherwise, the man wouldn’t have known how to wear the costume.

“Yeah, he’s coming soon, he was getting picky about his nails.”

“What?”

“You’ll see, he’ll match grumpy pants over there,” Cor announced with a chuckle. “Regis thinks sporting little tiny fake fangs makes him a good vampire. He’s so wrong.”

“Oh dear,” Clarus could only guess what Noct had conjured up. Ignis would have been key in gathering his needed elements, but the idea was most likely the princes. “What are the others dressing up as?”

Cor barked out a laugh, “I only saw Ignis and Prompto but it appeared they were wearing matching black suits.”

“That’s it?”

“Almost, if you don’t count the wolf tail they both had clipped to their belts and the wolf ear headbands.”

“I’m so confused,” he sighed. However, right as he was about to ask for more details a sudden hush overtook the room. Looking up he noticed what had caused the reaction. Ignis, Prompto, and his son were stalking over towards them. They all matched and looked quite formidable. �� However, Noct seemed to be missing. The black suits had matching black shirts and ties to go with. One might take them all for security guards aside from the addition of the animal ears atop their heads. One thing Cor hadn’t mentioned was their eye color. Each had donned a pair of contacts that made their eyes look golden and cat-like.

As they neared, Clarus realized there was a fourth pair of legs hiding behind Ignis. This must be the prince. Waiting patiently as the group finally came to a rest in front of them, Clarus was treated to the reveal. A pale hand with amusingly long pointy black nails slowly crept out from behind Ignis arm. It reached out and pointed straight at him. Then in a move that had Clarus snorting with laughter, Noct curled his fingers and beckoned him closer.

“You’re nuts if you think I’m letting you near me with those daggers,” he laughed.

Noct merely shook his finger and carefully leaned to the side to show his face. The prince’s hair was slicked back and someone had drawn in an exaggerated widow’s peak.

“I see you’re taking your role far more seriously than your father.”

“I shall win,” was all Noct uttered before he hissed and retreated behind his bodyguards again.

With a quick bow, Ignis led the way back out into the party. The advisor was playing his part very well and looked like he’d snap a person in two if they even tried to talk to the prince. Prompto was fighting to hide a smile as they turned to leave. Gladio offered Clarus and eyebrow waggle and a wink before he left. They were having fun it seemed.

“So forgive me for being a little behind on my fantasy lore, why are they all wearing animal ears and tails?” Clarus asked kindly.

“He’s a vampire and he needs his werewolf pack to protect him.”

“Ah, I see. Noct basically thought up the perfect costume, ensuring he doesn’t have to talk with anyone.”

“Pretty much, he’s clever in that way, unlike his old man!” Cor teased as Regis joined them again.

Ignoring Cor’s comment, Regis stared at Noct’s retreating party and tilted his head, “Was that my son?”

“Yep you missed the reveal; he’s a vampire with a coven of werewolves.”

Regis simply smiled and straightened his shoulders slightly, “He takes after me in so many ways.”

Cor groaned loudly and rolled his eyes, “You wish, look it I’m gonna go mingle and get some more votes in my favor. I’m winning this contest tonight, be ready to pay up.”

Regis tried to whack Cor in the shin with his cane, but the marshal was quicker and leaped out of the way. He laughed and casually wandered away, complete with a smug look of satisfaction.

“He’s such a brat sometimes,” Regis huffed.

“He’s only five years younger than you.”

“Shut it; let’s go see if we can convince the judges to ban him or something.”

Cor did not get banned.

Clarus had the joy of watching his friend claim a very special award, the citadels’ sexiest costume. Apparently, the panel of judges was also distracted by Cor’s exposed right side and six-pack. The few other contestants in that category didn’t stand a chance. No manner of makeup could fake muscles or a square jawline.

Regis didn’t have to pout for long though when his son won the night's overall best costume design. The king was proud of his son and his friends. They’d banded together to create a memorable look. Noct stayed in character when he accepted his award and tried to bite one of the presenters. Gladio sprang into action and held him back. The room erupted in laughter and cheers.

Suddenly thankful they could all enjoy moments like this together; Clarus smiled and looked over to his friend and King. Regis must have had a similar reaction as he returned a warm smile of his own and a small nod.

The rest of the night was a blur; Cor had come playfully demanding his money. Regis denied him, but Clarus knew he’d pay up in the morning. His liege kept trying to accuse Cor of cheating since he was only wearing half a costume. The marshal would then wiggle his award in front of Regis’ face as a rebuttal.

The music soon turned up loud enough that they couldn’t talk anymore. Opting to retreat to the far corner of the room the three friends sat and relaxed. They spend the remainder of the evening commenting on the costumes and the terrible music.

The End.

:)))

Hel and Fang are both polearm fighters. Why not have some sparring with a bet riding on it? A lil fun a lil flirty mostly getting a good sweat going. Get up close and personal trying to take your opponent down and get your way.

One more day until Vanille has to go out and find her new purpose. Time to spend it doing everything they can together until she has to go. Hel not wanting tears, but a happy memory to bookend Vanille’s time with her.

Hel doesn’t know shit about men and here comes Snow crashing in on the squad and giving her a crash course on the human male. Odd friendship ensues once they learn to get along with each other.

The chocobros gain something of a guardian angel, a false friend and ally who merely ensures parts are played and that Noctis is poised to do what her lover requires of him. During all of the subterfuge, two devoted servants to a royal start to bond.

‘I’m being held hostage by this small child and I don’t even mind please introduce me to Chocolina because I hear she is the best thing in the world next to you’ ; or, how Dajh is really good at this friend making thing.

Gladio got his ass beat by the divine once and is not over it, why won’t you face me in battle again you coward? And quoth the Messenger, boy, you would literally die if I came at you again.

Hel has been a part of Aerith’s life, never constant but coming and going as she can. She knew a daughter imprisoned, a girl in a church, and only at the end does Aerith come to realize what was truly hanging over her head -- and how it pains higher powers.

Everyone is on high alert that someone broke into a base and stole Ardyn’s car because it cannot be located. Hel rolls up two hours later in custody with smoothies and a lot of explaining to do because she just wanted to drive the car you monsters.

Cloud and Hel are both traveling worlds looking for people who are important to them in some ways. Hel could use his strength if he could use her connections as they move between KH worlds seeking the lost.

Axel and Saix are itching for a throne to throw as Hel struggles to run her own games behind the scenes. They soon become players in a cat and mouse scenario to obscure their exact motivations while forced to play along with Xehanort’s own ideas.

Hel becomes very intrigued by Barrett’s goals and ultimate success. What do you even do with weird goth chicks that know too much and are a little too happy to see you? What does she mean by she has a message from a friend?

She promises Zack will live on, but he’s not too pleased with the reality of that statement back on Earth. If Aerith is bad about bartering to go back I just imagine Zack is that but on crack. And now Hel is Suffering.

Hel becomes a north star to Xemnas across whatever time he finds himself in, always ready to welcome him back, always ready to listen. So what happens in a time when she cannot be found?

Even gets ‘adopted’ because Hel is just in love with him and his brain. Featuring Even actually having to answer to someone older than him and them talking lore and science for hours as their schedules allow.

Get your contract buddy ATW doesn’t deserve you and I’m taking all of you back to my realm where y’all will get some RESPECT. Yes, Aeleus, you are included in this staff breakout. No she won’t explain herself.

What better way to protect the future than gaining some divine backup? Hel would be happy to help Hope with his goals if she can stop asking who let a child run an organization on his own. No ma’am he is in fact an adult--

‘I don’t know if I kidnapped your moogle or if your moogle kidnapped me but apparently you needed something and I’m sorry for distracting the creature, how can I possibly make it up to you Serah?’

Rude is supposed to be keeping tabs on some kind of creature sighted in certain regions. Hel is less than thrilled with the surveillance, and starts playing games with Rude that leave him questioning if he has been compromised or not.

A Queen of Darkness and a Princess of Light come together in a sort of mentor-student arrangement where Hel can help Kairi grow stronger if Kairi will help get her up to speed on what the fuck the plot outside of the Organization even is to her.

Two immortals spot each other from across the castle despite the bodies they wear, recognize each other’s hearts, and start to roast the shit out of each other: A Hel and Xigbar story.

Local Guado Wants To Crack The Code Of How Lulu ‘Does That’ With Her Puppets, Starts Staying Almost Up Her Ass, Romance Ensues as They Discuss The Journey, Craft, and General Gayness.

A young Guado smells something Hinky on a not so local Guardian. No, Jecht, she will not be so easily put aside. She has the good booze and she will get answers, even if they are all fake.

Hel reunites with a Guardian she met in passing some years ago, and He Reeks of the Farplane. Not that it’s her place to judge. She’s just as curious as ever and willing to listen if he ever wants to talk about what he is.

Two outsiders to the Human majority of Spira band together and will not be separated. Hel is willing to share her spiritualism with Rikku if she will repay in kind with talk of Machina and her native tongue.

Hel actually hearing Dona out and seeing past her antagonism to the fact she’s still willing to undertake a Pilgrimage to try and save the world. Someone actually treats Dona politely. That means the world to me.

SHIPPING! (not necessarily our muses shipping together just shipping as a component of our muses interacting)

Hel discovers that Fang’s breaking point is softness and non-sexual PDA in public. So she continues to press this killswitch for her own amusement on a date night, letting Fang be both loved and mortified the entire evening.

Hel and Vanille get a pet, and then run through conversations they can have to convince Fang this is clearly the best idea ever and not trouble waiting to happen. Just a small domestic fluff about adding to their little family.

When your wives are very important and busy so you get to stay in all night and brag about how much you love them to another work widow(er), or how Snow and Hel don’t worry and just accept they are bonded to actual goddesses.

Hel tries to discern the exact relationship dynamics of the Chocobros and is chided for having ‘shipping goggles’ on. So she goes to Ignis to clear up any confusion. Shenanigans ensue as she either holds the crew dead to rights or is hilariously off the mark.

‘What does ‘If I Had To Pick a Dude’ even mean?’ ‘That you are overthinking a party game and making it weirder than it has to be.’ Or, did she actually mean anything by that or was Sazh just the most tolerable man present?

‘STOP LOOKING AT MY BONER WHEN WE FIGHT’ Or, does Gladio actually mean anything by that or is getting the blood pumping simply messing with his body in ways he cannot control?

Hel calls it Aerith’s Girlhood, a place set aside, a bed in a field of flowers, a sky sheltering and painted with false stars. She makes it soft for her. This is the way of courtship, isn’t it? I read a lot of Gluck and I need a ‘Myth of Devotion’ plot for them.

For ten years, she is the Night’s Queen, though he will not call her that. She is a consort, wearing the crown of an ancient queen, wandering broken hallways, watching him slowly come undone. And she loves him still. Ten years is nothing next to two thousand.

‘So what does Aerith mean to you?’ ‘A lot.’ ‘Oh. What does Zack mean to you?’ And she understands perfectly what his exhaustion with questions means. Road trips and the inevitable embarrassing romantic questions.

Axel and Hel both understanding what it is to watch the one you love battle with themselves, to become a stranger at their cruelest. Share a smoke. Waste the night playing ‘Yes, But’ with someone that understands.

Barrett’s very handsome, and she is very lonely, and she thinks he is a wonderful person. Does he have any plans, now that the Apocalypse is over? Or, she keeps getting weirder and keeps haunting his door.

‘So, you and Aerith, is that going to make things awkward?’ Hel thought she was tired before she started a relationship with both her Persephone and her Knight. Hel is, of course, entitled to be wrong. And exhausted. So very exhausted.

Hel presents Xemnas with an offering that must mean something to him, in what he knows of the old man’s life. She will have him always, if permitted. The question is, will he agree to sharing the Paopu to seal the deal?

‘Isn’t it slightly unethical to date your boss?’ Even is a grown man but Hel cannot help but tease his long term ‘thing’ with aforementioned Boss. But it’s also nice to hear of another side of the Sage King.

‘I will give you many munnies if you will escort me to this fancy dinner because your partner in crime is already spoken for. No, Aeleus, I did not say as my body guard. I said as my escort.’

‘You know, people really like that vulnerable, sensitive thing you have going on.’ ‘This is the last conversation I ever want to be having.’ Or words to that effect. Hel ribs The Baby for being a bit of A Babe when grown.

Please explain to Hel how your relationship works because she is fascinated by the fact someone looks at Snow and said yes, this is where I have chosen to lay my affections for life.

Surveillance Creeper happens to crash an anniversary dinner Rude arranged by sitting a few tables away, observing but never interfering, apparently minding her own business but she’s just THERE SHE’S RIGHT THERE.

Mombie talks to baby about relationships and girls and boys and just has a nice heart to heart about it all. Based on that one Kairi-As-Ansem’s-Daughter idea that I’m still so pumped about.

.Hel and Xigbar make a bet about the relationship status of two of the Foretellers. Both try to doctor the narrative to suit their own take on the pair, obscuring fact, fiction, history, and near fanfiction.

The morning after a ‘There Is Only One Bed’ trope, and how both actually feel comfortable and at ease after so long alone. Can be before relationship or their first night alone together in the same bed, but consider it, won’t you?

Hel has a discussion with someone that Summoners getting involved with their Guardians is completely natural. She talks like she has experience. Well, yeah, not personal experience but -- and someone’s brain breaks at what she is implying.

Hel feels sad about Auron being the only one left, having lost two people he loved. Two people who have lost a lot in different contexts just have a comforting moment together to not be alone. Not romo but more based on lost romo.

‘So tell me about this Paine I’ve heard so much about :))))’ or, Rikku comes to realize she has been adopted and her Guado Mom wants to meet the GF. Chaos can completely ensue coming off of this.

Dona’s pretty and Hel is gay, that’s all I got. Literally anything could happen up to and including Hel making a complete ass of herself trying to either avoid Dona or interact with her without throwing off pheromones.

AUS!

Hel is some kind of figure in the spotlight -- a socialite, a performer, someone of note. Fang is her bodyguard here to keep her safe. No one would ever guess at what happens behind closed doors, the tension that runs between the two of them in spite of contracts and official relationships.

Breakfast club college AU. Just a couple of girls trying to get their shit together and honest to God looking like a modern take on the eponymous movie. They love each other and are here to do kegstands.

Hel is snow’s weirdo neighbor in their apartment complex but damn if he doesn’t know ho to bring the community together. Sometimes in the worst ways, but hey, anything to kick goth chick out of her shell.

Ignis and Hel are rival spies. They play long games and pursue the same leads, each trying to end the stalemate between their respective countries. Both are also far closer to the ruling class than they allow the other to believe.

Hel is just a simple pediatrician. Dajh is a very adventurous boy with a very invested father. At this point Sazh is on her Yule card list, and the two strike up a sort of friendship after hours.

Gym bro/personal trainer Gladio gets a knew client that is too tiny too delicate for this world. That is exactly what she is here to work on. Time to get swole little chronically ill stick woman.

Local witch swears that Aerith’s is the best place to get ritual plants and flowers despite ribbing claiming that she has a crush on the owner, but that crush theory really starts to hold water when the plant Hel really really really needs once is a... succulent.

Ardyn’s the beautiful but chronically ill next best thing in art, fashion, or film. Hel is his nurse and constant companion, the only one that gets to see the man behind the glamour when he is at his worst. Romance ensues.

There’s only one thing above an Angel, and she has come to offer herself to Cloud in his world-saving pursuits. If a covenant can be forged, then who knows what he will become, but at least this ghost will be real.

Yeah it’s awkward for our partners that we moved in next door to each other, but that’s really Isa and Xemnas’ baggage. I, on the other hand, like you and want to be friends. Or, Lea and Hel are goblins.

Hel as the relative to one of ShinRa’s high rollers, selling out her uncle’s secrets and business dealings to AVALANCHE without a second’s hesitation. She’s the inside woman, and one of Barrett’s biggest supporters, even if only in silence.

The feather that fell on the Colosseum did not belong to a certain Angel. What happens when Hel interferes in the life of one mortal who wants only to be a hero, one willing to work hard to get there?

Xemnas is the new literary hotness trying his hand at a play. Hel is the actress that fought tooth and nail for the lead roll. Problem: She has more chemistry with the creator than her fellow lead.

Hel is what was dragged into the lab twelve years ago. For freedom from this castle, she can whisper eldritch knowledge in Even’s ear, slippery as poison. What, precisely, have they pulled from the Darkness, and what threat does she present?

Similar to the above, but Hel knows not how to reason with this guard. He is meant to protect, to defend. All she can do is study him with those cold, sad eyes, try to stir his heart while he still has it.

We Are All Just God’s Abandoned Children. That’s one way to welcome a young foster kid to the house, but Hel is going to look out for this younger kid Hope anyway. Found family ensues.

Mog the Dog is in love with Garmr the Dog. We have to stop meeting like this. People will talk. They’re on texting terms just to say ‘Your dog’s here, he’s fine. Either he’ll find his way home or you can come get him whenever.’

Why would ShinRa have her trailed by the TURKS if they didn’t suspect her of her involvement with AVALANCHE? Tiem for Hel to pull out all the stops to try and throw Rude off her scent.

Reuniting with your family is hard. Harder when you have no memory of said family and Dad has a new love interest. Despite all of that, Hel comes to dote on Kairi, giving them a chance to bond and Kairi get a mom.

A Hel and Xigbar idea: Politician’s daughter and Assassin. MB he’s assigned to keep an eye on her when shit gets real in some of her father’s business dealings. Whether he’s for or against her family would be fun to plot.

Local Goth Summons The Goddess of the Dead, Intentionally or Otherwise ; Death Thinks She’s Kind of Cute. Lulu gains a patron and Hel gains a crush. Everyone goes home happy.

Hel’s the nerdy shy kid in gym class and Jecht is the zealous coach that she despises. Except then she needs an athletic extracurricular to round out her college application. Teeth clenched teamwork for personal and team success.

High fantasy AU where Auron is the black knight who presses on, with a rider all in black hounding his every step. She appears every night to share his company, a little wine, and remind him of their bargain. She’s not reaped him yet, but once his business on earth is settled... He will return to her embrace.

Hel finds a new community once kicked out of Guado society. Or, in which Hel follows after the Al-Bhed and becomes a part of Rikku’s life from a young age, thus securing Momability.

Hel becomes one of Dona’s guardians along the way, and the two fight viciously over who gets to use the brain cell while being harmonious in most other aspects of traveling together. Romance may or may not ensue.

Other muses!

Eraqus: Please stop wrecking shit this is getting out of hand-- Fang: FcuK YUO-- And then they gotta fight and cause further property damage.

I don’t know whose verse we base it in but I need Vanille and Gwynevere to team up, maximize slay, and generally be absolute icons with soft spots for their legendary badass partners.

Kokoro and Snow interacting would be amazing and you know it. I don’t know who would crack first. Kokoro’s realism or Snow’s optimism.

Aqua, Ignis, and discussing how you have to be the strong one holding up the ones you love, no matter the cost. I feel like we could really break our hearts with this one.

Eraqus and Sazh could get frustrated at the kids for having gone a little nuts while they were out on a date, but y’know what? They’re in a good mood. Just cuddle and let the kids sleep and deal with it in the morning.

Eraqus, formerly of the Kingsguard before he got too old to serve, and the esteem of one young Amacitia mb. That or Gladio befriends Eraqus just to piss Kokoro off if we wanna play it that way.

Kokoro being uselessly gay for Aerith FOR TEN YEARS in Traverse Town and having no brain cells to actually convey that to her, then they meet again in Radiant Garden and well fuck she’s still crushing hard.

Every night, the Kingsguard’s daughter storms the city, makes her way towards the Citadel, and means to slay the Dragon. He has not killed her yet. Ardyn and Kokoro have a particular dance, and they cannot say why.

Aerith and Cloud getting soft comrade moments because they have both been through so much please. Please let them catch one break and get to act their actual ages and have a moment for life before it’s all gone for one of them.

Aria and Axel would be fantastic because they’re both a very controlled flame, they both just sort of are casually dangerous. I just want to play them off of each other and see if they end up allies or rivals.

Eraqus and Barrett working together in the field in our FF7 AU. Looking out for each other. Timing their attacks perfectly for the opportunity to fuck ShinRa up as much as possible.

Eraqus has to deal with this kid that is infatuated with his student. Does that kid have a boombox. What the fuck. This shit keeps happening.

Roleswap Xemkoro. Eraqus having become too zealous and thrown off the balance of light and darkness, seeking Kingdom Hearts to wash the world in light and begin again. Xemnas as the echo of an old friend who will see this ended before it goes that far. Kokoro the dutiful daughter who runs things in her father’s absence, who is drawn to this familiar stranger even as they oppose one another at every turn.

Even’s adopting Kokoro. Your father forbid you from pursuing certain knowledge? Terrible, he doesn’t deserve to be a father. I am your father now. We’re going to the opera. You have so much to learn. Meet your brother Ienzo.

We don’t know why Mads has imprinted on this guard in particular, she just has and she will not leave him alone.

I just want Aerith and hope to interact and her to try and cheer him up please. please.

Just throw Serah at anyone via time travel and all of that I can just imagine her falling into anyone’s life tbh. Try and dance around who you are and where in the hell you came from.

Aria is a TURK in training and guess who she gets to shadow for a day? Teach Her Rude!

Aqua and Kairi need to bond! Aqua and Kairi need to have a mentor-student dynamic! They need to catch up! They need to be friends! I will not be silenced!

Eraqus as a descendant of Brain, who fought to oppose MoM and Luxu, meeting with Luxu in some body before Braig. Can you even imagine the tension and sins of the father in that room? Sweet Jesus.

Braska mb interacting with Lulu once or twice because he wants to know about the other children his daughter is so fond of, the ones who... will be there for her, when he is not. Let’s all have a cry about it.

Long Dad Talk ‘Come To Yevon’ meetings between Braska and Jecht where Braska offers no judgment, only support for Jecht to get better. BC growth is important. And so is being a good dad, Braska knows.

Auron’s Bi Awakening for this church pretty boy.

Flower girl meets machine girl. IDK how. Aerith and Rikku rights.

Kokoro and Dona are implicitly to the public confirmed behind closed doors sapphic summoners. cuteness ensues.

Other Muse AUs!

I still want the Xemkoro Penny Dreadful AU. Our haunted and hell-touched protagonist with the werefox lady lead far from home. With Kokoro still trying to figure out how the hell Satan thought appearing as ATW was going to make Xem drop his pants. And then gets baffled that it worked.

Younger Eraqus ends up in Radiant Gardens and runs into Even. Has to play it cool about not being from this world. This world he knows nothing about. Even smells a rat.

Ok hear me out AU where ATW cannot and does not return. Mads goes from heiress apparent to a girl-queen to a world she cannot remember. Kokoro stays on as her regent, arguing that though she is an outsider, she is a blue blood, a noble, the descendant of royalty in her own homeland. But both she and the young queen will need a defender. And for that, she turns to a certain guard...

The Xemrith Hades and Persephone AU. Let’s do it. Let’s go all out. I wanna see it come to fruition.

Also, Xemqua Deathless AU. A deathless king spirits away a clever young fairytale maiden, and all the tears and horror that comes with such a story.

Braska is not the one to defeat Sin. He and his party have to go home and face themselves and figure out ‘What Now?’ as we go fully AU.

Single Dad muses in a modern AU forming a friend group. They all hang out once or twice a month and do fun things together. It’s great. It’s soothing. Nobody goes it alone.

Aerith and Zack getting a happily ever after??? In an AU???

Modern AU Braska, Jecht, and Auron navigating a relationship like the Fooles they are. Braska’s a simple youth pastor with a lot of love to give and incalculable migraines from his babes.

Mads and Rikku as friends burning the whole ass world to the ground. Because come on. Come on.

Anything with my Eraqus and your Aqua please I am dying here. I need some good family interactions.

Kokoro and Fang as sparring partners in some form or fashion. I need to see my queens just battle for dominance. I am very gay please have mercy.

KH AU Gwynevere as a pinnacle of a land of light having to come face to face with Xemnas and all the darkness that follows him.

Kokoro continues to bully Gladio no matter the verse. Because we know she does. Gladio has no rights.

AU where Kairi and Mads are like roommates or neighbors or online pals and get to be sunshine girls and nobody is hurt and no one has any loss of worlds to forget.

Aria as an AVALANCHE agent who infiltrated the TURKs and all that implies for your muses. Good for any of the rebels or even for Rude as far as plotting goes.

A whole ass pantheon AU. Get all our muses in it. Go absolutely balls to the wall nuts.

Mads playing matchmaker to Kokoro and Xemnas in some modern verse. Maybe playing Cyrano and leaving them little clues and letters allegedly from each other.

Sami we are simple gays. And we need DnD AUs. And we can divide our muses into parties and just have at it in some setting. Pwease.

Braska being a supportive dad to pop star Yuna and Rikku is along for the ride and so now he has a whole other kid to be taking care of.

AUs where ships were just a moment off of canon. Where someone walked away, where they just missed each other, where love did not conquer, where love did not last, where someone died, where someone lived, just. The what if of a life without each other.

Fuck me sideways can you imagine Braska Auron and Jecht in a college AU because I don’t think Jecht’s liver will survive.

Kokoro actually embraces her adolescent feelings for a childhood friend and pursues Aqua, only for RP canon to still happen as outlined.

Kokoro mainverse where she is a high born lady of Scala and Aqua arrives to explain what has been going down in the last twelve years and ‘oh no I’m gay.’

And, of course, that one Xemkoro idea we have involving the story never truly ending ;)

And because I still owe you two, here are two generals:

A time traveler’s wife au, any ship u want bb.

Family stuff. Found families, adoption, siblings, parent and child, ship babies, the pet is basically our kid, we have each other and that makes our family, anything I just need some familial relationships to water my crops.

Terminal State

Summary: She tried leaving, submerging herself in work to escape the horrors she had seen. The horrors she kept seeing. She never wanted to go back to that life. But when the Empire takes her home, she’s forced to face her past. Can she move on? Can she cope? Or will she require a bit of help? still bad at summaries, still working on it. ever so slightly more than slight AU gadioxoc

Talia’s Widow

...

Athenacia had managed to get some sort of sleep during the night before shaking awake at one of her usual nightmares, happy that she hadn't disturbed Iris in the process. Carefully, she rolled over and had a look at the window. The sun was just starting to peek up over the horizon. Perfect, the world was asleep. The girl got out of bed quietly and walked into the bathroom with her bag, shutting the door behind her before turning on the light. Wincing at the sudden brightness, she was able to adjust quickly and placed her bag gently on the ground, noting her dirty clothes still on the floor. Running a hand through her hair, she released a sigh and then stood in front of the mirror to observe her wounds.

Nothing had changed since yesterday and she couldn't do a full heal until she was far away from the others, however, she could at least help things along until then. Athenacia brought her left hand to her swollen eye and let the golden lights flow about it. She didn't take down the swelling too much, not wanting to arouse suspicion, and did the same for her other contusions and lacerations. Despite there being no notable difference, she felt a lot better, pain medication doing wonders. Quickly she pulled out clothes for the journey, black tights with a tiny pink skull on the bottom of them and a thin purple long-sleeved shirt to hide most of her wounds. There would be no way for her to hide the puncture in her left forefinger without full-on gloves but people would be staring more at her face than her hands. Not for long anyway. Fussing with her hair, she pulled it back into that braid over her shoulder to hide that ugly scar. It exposed her face a little more but with the beating she took she was a little unrecognizable. Unfortunately she would have to waste time grabbing supplies before she took off.

Satisfied, she threw out the old bloodied shorts she was wearing yesterday and hung up Noctis's shirt for the sake of it being found and returned, guilty that it couldn't be cleaned first. Athenacia packed up all of her things, turning off the light and carefully opened the door. Those sensitive ears listened intently and heard the soft and even breaths of Iris still sound asleep. Carefully, she padded toward the rest of her things, putting on her boots that only reminded her she needed new ones and slowly zipped them up. The gladius was strapped to her back, coming over her left shoulder instead of the right so as not to agitate her stitches on her scapula. Then, she put on her med bag, leaving that over one shoulder as well. Sighing, she took a final look around the room, making sure she had everything. Athenacia walked toward Iris's bed and placed a ball of grey and black fabric on the night table beside her, feeling terrible but it had to be this way, she could not risk anyone's life.

Athenacia walked toward the exit, opening the door slowly without making a sound before through it, looking up and down the hall and noting it was clear. She held the door as it automatically closed, heart in her throat at the soft click that echoed loudly in her ears. The doctor lingered only a moment before walking on noiseless feet to the stairs that would lead down to the first floor and out into the city. As she passed the door that Gladiolus and the others were staying in, she hesitated, feeling guilt eat away at her. The girl really didn't want to leave him just yet but he had a duty to the Prince and she wasn't going to be a burden on him. Heart heavy, she slowly continued to the stairs.

"Going somewhere?"

The physician nearly jumped out of her skin just as she reached the top of the stairs, whipping around immediately to confirm who had spoken to her. She was met with Ignis standing just outside of the door, arms crossed and a brow raised. He looked ready for the day despite it being so early in the morning and she heard the door close with a soft click much like the one she had sounded on her own door.

"Don't do that!" she hitched her breath.

"Apologies."

"It's fine, I'm just a little jumpy."

"Understandable given what you've been through. You have failed to answer my question."

"I was just going to get some new shoes, these ones are bloody and broken," she lied quickly.

He looked unconvinced, "You seem overdressed for a short shopping trip."

"What do you mean?"

"I see no reason your weapon must accompany you."

"Well, last time I was here wasn't exactly a positive experience."

"Fair point. In that case, I shall escort you."

"That's not necessary," she began her protest.

"I insist. As you said, your last excursion to the city was a trying time. You're feeling a little unsafe and I'm happy to offer my services."

Shit. There was no way she could refuse. The girl could only nod helplessly at him, having no choice but to accept his offer. This was not what she wanted at all.

"Splendid. Then there's no need to overburden yourself with your extra belongings."

"No, I guess there wouldn't be..."

Athenacia forced a smile and began walking back to the room she was sharing with Iris, using her key to open it slowly and was not surprised that Ignis stepped in the doorway behind her. The young girl was still sleeping so Athenacia was careful about putting her clothes bag back in its former position, placing her med bag on top of it and then carefully unhooked her weapon from her back. Frowning, she laid it gently flat on the floor underneath the bed and pulled the bed skirt over it. So close, she was so close! Guess it would have to wait until tonight. Internally sighing, she turned back to Ignis and stepped through the door he held open for her.

The two of them made it down the stairs side by side without saying anything and out into the quiet streets of Lestallum. The city was still asleep, only the night dwellers heading toward their den to await the sight of the stars once more. Athenacia actually preferred it this way, knowing that her face was still a mess. Despite this being her shopping trip, Ignis had led them to the food vendors. Figures he would try to force food on her. Truth be told, she still wasn't hungry but at least now she knew it was the pain medication she was taking. Ignis pulled out her chair and she smiled slightly as she sat down. He ordered himself an Ebony while she only drank water, and he took the liberty of ordering her some breakfast to which she just kept her gaze on her hands. The sun was rising higher and with it, her window to disappear. Even though she had resolved to leave tonight she was still hoping to make it out before anyone else had woken up.

"You're looking well, compared to yesterday," said Ignis lightly.

"Thanks, I heal fast," she replied.

They were silent again as their meals were placed in front of them. Athenacia poked at her egg with a fork and took one bite. Immediately she blanched, definitely not into eating right now. Instead she stuck to the bread, which was a bit easier on her nausea.

"I do hope you change your mind," said Ignis suddenly.

"What?" she looked at him confused.

"Do not play coy, Dr. Virum, we are both far too intelligent for that. You know leaving is not the best course of action."

"I wasn't-"

"Athenacia please," he gave her a stern look, "I saw the plan in your eyes the very second you were ordered to remain with us."

The physician sighed in defeat, looking down at her hands again. That overbearing guilt that she had been trying to repress since she was ordered by Cor to go with them to Caem burst within her and she was unable to face him, ashamed that she was caught in the first place.

"I have to leave," she said finally.

"I'm inclined to disagree," he replied with his calm and even friendly voice.

"You can disagree all you want, it has to be this way."

"The Marshal gave you a strict order. Do you truly mean to disobey it?"

She looked up at him with a frown, "I'm not a Glaive anymore. Cor can't command me to do anything."

"That set aside he has been a touch out of sorts with you in the wind."

"He'll survive."

"And Gladio?"

Athenacia looked away again. The guilt just kept eating away at her. Ignis was smooth, she had to give him that. He saw everything, even when it seemed he wasn't even looking - sneaky about it too because he knew what she was going to do before she even thought of it. Obviously she was going to have to be careful about this. Still, there was no harm in telling him some of the truth.

"He's part of the reason I need to go. I can't be around any of you," she replied in a low voice.

"Elaborate."

"You saw what happened to that base. They'll be looking for me, a huge target painted on my back. I can't put you all at risk."

Ignis only smiled, "Dr. Virum, we've been at risk the second we stepped out of the Crown City. Noctis is a fugitive, already hunted by the Empire. They would show up whether you were to remain or not."

"Yet another reason I should go, two of their targets aren't in one place. You're a strategist, you should know this already."

"Indeed, but I also know strength in numbers. You're in no condition to be wandering about the wilderness on your own."

"I'm a doctor, I'll be fine."

"Perhaps and I am not doubting your abilities. Consider also that the people here that have come to care for you, myself included, require your presence and peace of mind concerning your health a lot more than you think they do."

"Athenacia," she heard the King call to her. Curious, she turned to him, "Take care. The world needs you more than you think it does. The people who have come to care for you, need you more than you think they do," he offered her a small smile.

Teas welled within her eyes as the words rang in her head. They were the last ones spoken to her by King Regis before that fateful day. Ignis was right, the Prince and everyone else were already being hunted by the Empire. Cor already knew this and wanted her somewhere safe. After all, she had caused him enough grief as it was. The man had even burst into an Imperial base just to save her, had come back for her after her terrible ordeal and kept her alive and running to this point. The more she thought about him the more she felt bad about going rogue and doing her own thing. There was also Gladiolus to consider. Had Ignis not caught her just now, she would have been a long way gone and it would have been a slap in all their faces. Athenacia owed them more than this piss poor behaviour. They had risked their lives to come and save her as well and this was not the way to repay someone for doing that. This man before her was right, there was no reason to run. Ignis was clever, he read her like a book, playing on all her fears and weaknesses and then crumbling them until she had no choice but to comply with his wishes. So much for all of her past training, she was slacking.

"Okay," she said finally.

"Yes?" he inquired.

"I won't leave until we're ready to go to Caem."

He smiled, "That is by far the most intelligent decision you've made in a while."

"Don't gloat, okay, it's unbecoming," she held her hand up, but still returning his smile.

The rest of their shopping trip consisted of the young doctor procuring things that she would need for yet another transformation. Ignis understood her need to change her appearance and offered her a better solution than the last time. Her last stop was buying some new shoes since the boots she wore had a massive drill hole in them and were still covered with her blood. Although it was cleaned up on the outside, she could still feel the sticky dried liquid on the inside through her tights. In the end she settled on two sets of boots just in case something happened to the other pair. Ignis took the bill of her excursion with violent protests on her end.

"I do hope you enjoyed your time on the outside," said Ignis as they came back to the hotel.

"You're going to keep me bedridden aren't you?" she raised a brow.

"Indeed. Until at least your appetite returns."

"I'm sure you'll find another excuse after that. I have issues sitting still, consider that while trying to keep me in bed and recovering."

"I shan't waste time conjuring a solution to your problem."

The physician returned to her hotel room to find that Iris was stirring. Ignis remained in his own room, appearing a lot more relaxed knowing that she wouldn't be running away from them. Athenacia would stay true to her word and travel with them to Caem, but only after she recovered from her injuries. It would be a slow process, however, she could use some of her magic to speed things along at least once a day. Ignis would notice it was going a little quicker than normal but she could wave that off to proper treatment and entice his ego a little. While was sure that he would see right through that, he would at least have no other option to pursue.

Athenacia took one of her shopping bags into the bathroom with her, closing the door behind her. Sighing, she pulled out the braid in her hair, having no trouble with the silky locks and let it fan out. It was already in a soft wave, which she wasn't overly unhappy with. The shirt was next, tossing it aside before she mixed up her bottles of dye. Once they were ready she applied them, keeping her hair away from the lacerations on her scapula and cheek. That was a mess she did not want to deal with should an accident happen. The doctor repeated the process the first time, covering her hair with a plastic bag and leaving the room. Iris was there on her bed, nose in her phone. The young Amicitia looked up at the doctor with a smile despite her appearance while Athenacia walked toward her bed and grabbed her bottle of water. More in the nature of something to do, she took her medication for pain and then another long drink. Iris didn't say anything, could smell the dye and knew what was happening.

"You look a little better," she said politely.

"I feel quite a bit better," Athenacia smiled.

"What colour this time?" Iris sat up in her bed.

"You'll see."

Iris only nodded and placed her phone down on the bedside table. Then, she frowned at the black and grey striped ball that wasn't there before she had gone to bed. The teen picked it up carefully and untangled it. What she was left with was a pair of fingerless gloves. Carefully, she slipped them onto her small wrists and then looked at the doctor expectantly. Athenacia smiled as she saw them finally back in use after holding onto them.

"They look good on you," said Athenacia.

"Thanks. Aren't they yours though?" asked Iris.

"Yeah. I got them when I was about your age. At first, it was to hide my bloody knuckles from my training with Cor but they grew on me, sort like a trademark. After I was done using them to hide I would use them to fight when I wasn't using a weapon."

"They're so clean though."

Athenacia laughed, "I haven't fought in years. They aren't much but they have sentimental value. I want you to have them."

Iris looked shocked to hear that, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah. It's about time they found a different home."

The young girl smiled, "Thank you!"

Athenacia nodded at her. The two of them didn't speak while she waited for her hair to finish. Once the clock had finally clicked over, she returned to the bathroom to take out the bag and rinse her hair. Once all the colour had washed away off of her scalp she wrung out her hair, towel drying it and got a good look at herself. The girl smiled, giving another point to Mr. Scientia. That man sure knew his stuff, even if it was something as unlikely as hair dye.

Athenacia took scissors and began to cut where necessary, careful to keep all the bits of hair from spreading all over and only getting into the trash can. When she was finished her grooming she pulled out the blow drier and began to run that all along her head. Finally, after what seemed like hours her hair was falling softly against her skin. It was a deep red, making her look far less pale than the black did. It wasn't nearly as long either, the longest layer stopping at her elbows. She cut herself blunt bangs as well, reaching from her forehead all the way down to her eyebrows. It actually brought some attention away from that swollen eye she had and she was thankful for that. Given that she only had one good eye she would have to examine herself once she could see out of both of them in order to make sure she hadn't cut anything crooked. After all of that extra work today she felt exhausted. Pain medication or not, she was overexerting herself after the abuse she sustained. Maybe being bedridden wasn't such a bad idea after all. Athenacia cleaned up her mess and exited the bathroom, intent on sitting in her bed and not moving the rest of the day.

"I love it!" said Iris, running towards her.

The young woman had dressed and donned her new gift, carefully grabbing the hair with a big smile on her face and then let it fall from her fingers. Athenacia just smiled at her overly happy demeanour and continued her journey to her bed. Quickly she changed, something more comfortable, and got under the covers. Just in time it seemed, the door to her room had swung open.

"Knock, knock," announced Gladiolus as he came. He smiled once his eyes reached her, "Hey Doc! You going to change every time I see you?"

"I'm a chameleon."

He let out a small laugh, "Looks good."

She blushed slightly, "Thanks."

"Thought you might want a visitor."

"A visitor?"

Gin pushed past the Shield just then, nearly knocking him over despite the way he towered over her. Gladio only laughed as the extremely pregnant nurse was at her friend's side in an instant, on the bed and nearly fell over with her awkward shape. Once she got herself balanced she pulled the young doctor into a fierce hug, only keeping her arms around her neck.

"I'm so happy you're okay," said Gin before releasing her grip and having a look, "Gods you look terrible."

Athenacia laughed, "Thanks, I think."

"Seriously girl, that is a nasty hematoma."

"It'll go away."

"Where did you want this?" asked Gladiolus from the door.

He was holding a small bag that looked like it had a fair bit of weight to it. Gin looked over and just pointed to the ground beside her, in between the two beds while Iris looked on curiously.

"What is that?" asked the young girl.

"A surprise, help me with it," replied Gin.

Athenacia looked on with mild amusement as Gladiolus took a seat in the chair next to her bed. Once Gin had somehow managed to pull out all the tools she began to set it up with Iris's help. The injured doctor recognized it instantly once it was finished.

"You stole a portable ultrasound from the hospital?" asked Athenacia with a raised brow.

"No, no, borrowed," insisted Gin.

"Do they know you have it?"

"No."

"Then it's called stealing."

"Oh hush you. I'm going to bring it back I'm just borrowing without asking."

"Stealing."

"Stealing is when you don't bring it back."

"The line isn't that thick."

"Do you want to see my child or not?"

Athenacia only laughed. Gin handed her the tube of jelly and turned the machine on. The wand was placed in the doctor's hand and Gin lifted her maroon scrub shirt, waiting. Athenacia administered the jelly and then placed the wand against the woman's skin. Immediately the image of a very cramped baby came up on the screen. The physician wanted to tear at the sight, keeping her hand still as she watched the small hands move and the heartbeat at a steady pace.

"Wow..." said Iris in wonder, sitting down on the other side of Gin's feet.

"Would you look at that," said Gladiolus from behind her.

"It's so big now!" exclaimed Gin.

"He," corrected Athenacia.

"You're going to be sorry when it comes out a girl."

"Gin, the penis is right there," said Athenacia, pointing at the monitor.

"That could just be a finger."

"Yes, an eleventh finger."

"Hey what are we looking at?" asked Prompto as he stepped through the door, cutting off Gin's retort.

"It's her baby!" said Iris.

Ignis and Noctis had also joined them, both coming to hover around the monitor to get a look. Athenacia moved the wand a little so that she could observe the baby from all angles and make sure that all was healthy. There were no abnormalities nor signs of stress so that was a relief. Gin had the most healthy pregnancy the young doctor had ever seen, not sick a day since she had found out.

"Hard to believe we were all that small," said Noctis.

"Smaller even," said Athenacia, "The cells you began as are hardly the size of this baby's fist."

"Seriously?!" said Prompto in shock.

Athenacia nodded, "Absolutely."

"The wonders of the human body," mused Ignis.

"I don't buy it. The big guy couldn't have been that small," said Prompto.

"Believe it or not, Iris was bigger than I was when she was born," replied Gladiolus.

"By three pounds no more!" retorted Iris.

"Makes all the difference," he teased.

The chatter about the upcoming child provided a warmer atmosphere in the room. It was nice to speak about happier things and Athenacia welcomed the distraction. Gladiolus hovered near her but didn't actually make any physical contact. It wasn't that he didn't want to, merely hesitant after everything she had been through during the time they had been apart. The girl wasn't talking about it for a reason, largely ignoring her trauma's and keeping to herself. Gladio didn't want to push her so soon after reuniting with her, she would open when she was ready, he was sure of that.

As things wound down into yet another night, Gin packed up her "borrowed" portable ultrasound machine and got ready for her shift. The nurse promised to come by tomorrow and try to speed up the healing process, awkwardly carrying her bag out of the room. Ignis took it upon himself to have food brought up to the room, giving a sizable portion to the recovering doctor. Her pain medication was still blocking her appetite, however, she did manage to squeeze in a few more bites than this morning so he didn't press the issue too much.

"Gin is almost done her term," said Ignis.

"Yeah she's got about eight weeks left," replied Athenacia, her meal abandoned on the night table.

Gladiolus was still in the chair beside the bed, Prompto taking Gin's vacated spot. Iris remained on her bed while Ignis and Noctis had moved the sitting area furniture to be apart of the social group. Everyone else had finished most of what was on their plate, the young Prince still a picky eater it seemed. Athenacia only smiled at the tireless argument with Ignis about vegetables.

"She's all alone?" asked Prompto.

Athenacia nodded, "Her husband died fighting the war. Connilo Talia."

"She's Talia's widow?" asked Gladiolus incredulously.

"Yeah."

"I had no idea..." said Ignis.

"Talia?" asked Noctis.

"One of the higher ranking Glaives. He won many battles while he fought," supplied Ignis.

"He was on his way to Cor's stats," added Gladiolus, "But in the end, he didn't make it out. Still, he went out like the best of them."

"That's rough," said Prompto.

"About two weeks after the news of his death Gin found out about the baby. I remember those weeks very vividly. But she didn't miss a day of work, not even to mourn. She knew what she was getting into when they married," said Athenacia.

"That's so sad," remarked Iris.

"It really depends on how you look at it. Maybe she feels pain in her own time, but she carries his child and she does so with pride. She gets to raise that child to know his father gave his life for the best cause. She'll never truly be away from her husband while she raises their son."

...

The streets Lesallum were mostly quiet in the evening. Most of the nightlife patrons were in the mass of the streets, drinking, eating, dancing, whichever they chose. The woman passed them with little attention, having no desire to partake in their festivities. She walked down the less crowded streets until she got toward the parking lot, going even further, the warm wind blowing her hair out of her face. Down the stairs to the overlook, she could only spot three people staring out where the Archeon used to reside. She didn't go near any of them, instead, she went to sit on the bench and look up a the stars.

An hour later, a man sits beside her, keeping his distance and staying on the other side of the bench with no intention of even looking at her. A hood obscures his face from any onlookers, appearing busy on his phone. More couples have made their way over now that the night has grown later, but the two on the bench paid them little mind. She was still fixated on the stars, her eyes filled with wonder at all of them. It never ceased to amaze her how vast the sky truly was. Just hanging up there without a care in Eos about what went on beneath it. Everything in this world was much bigger than her.

Sighing dreamily, she brought her head back down to look around her. The warm wind blew again, bringing with it the scent of a bad omen, something she picked up on immediately. So many negative things had been happening lately it wouldn't make much of a difference. Standing up slowly, she decided she had enough of her time in the night air. Stretching a little awkwardly, a couple walked by with a strange look on their faces in her direction. She began to walk away, no longer needing to stay here.

"She's gone red this time," said the woman as she passed by the hooded man on the bench.

When Anton perished in Galahd, it had catapulted his eight-year-old nephew Ignis into the dukedom of Vannath Coast, which was the primary of three peerages the Scientia family had held for centuries for their services to the crown. Upon his death, Anton’s minor nephew succeeded to his title as Duke of Vannath, while his widow, Lady Adrienne Allegria Scientia, became dowager Duchess of Vannath in the wake of the family’s loss.

All technicalities and protocol considered, eight-year-old Ignis found himself the highest ranking nobleman in the Lucian court, just a step behind King Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII, and even outranking Clarus Amicitia, Count Taelpar, Kingshield. Because of his minority, however, Ignis only held the dukedom in name, as his aunt the Lady Adrienne would take up her husband’s myriad of posts, duties and responsibilities, particularly as ex-officio chairperson of the Royal Household Agency. Regis would not give Adrienne the chancellorship, as the King opted to pass the post instead to the Duke of Feria.

Yes, Ignis even outranked his charge, the Prince Noctis, at the time, because Noctis won’t actually be elevated into the title and rank of Crown Prince of Lucis, not until he was sixteen years of age. Until that time, Ignis was the highest ranking nobleman in the trio, enjoying precedence over both Noctis and Gladiolus.

Ignis won’t regain the chancellorship until the time of World of Ruin, where in Noctis’ absence, the people looked to him for crucial decisions, and the Duke of Feria ceded back the title to Anton’s successor.

03. Sexuality: bi (she and Crowe had a bit of a casual thing going before Quinn started officially dating Nyx)

04. Favorite color: sky blue

05. Relationship status: does it count as widowed if her fiance is dead

06. Ideal mate: three main necessary qualities–someone who loves her for who she is and won’t try to mellow her out, someone stubborn enough to challenge her when she’s being stupid, and someone that can make her laugh

07. Turn-ons: “yes, ma’am”, and being dominated (CONSENSUALLY; given the fact she’s a captain youd think it’d be the other way around, but)

08. Favorite food: she’s a big fan of stews and nyx and libertus made her a fan of galahdian dishes through yama’s restaurant. (crow’s nest is also a huge guilty pleasure)

09. Crushes: she’ll die before she ever admits it but she had a huge puppy crush on gladio when she was younger

10. Favorite music: hard rock, with a fondness for dance/club music

11. Biggest fear: losing her dad and little brother (and, really, any of the people she cares about)

12. Biggest fantasy: idk if this is talking sexual or non-sexual but im gonna assume the second bc quinn really doesnt have the first–she REALLY wants the war to end so she can marry nyx and start a family (doesn’t turn out well)

13. Bad habits: hoo boy. she’s a leonis, which is a family line known for two things: having breathtaking anger issues when pushed far enough, and being stubborn. so her worst bad habits include ‘bottling up emotions until she explodes’ and ‘not knowing when to give up’.

15. Best kept secrets: the manner her mother died, mostly. she doesn’t tend to hold secrets back unless they belong to someone else and aren’t her place to share.

16. Last thought: would probably be something along the lines of ‘well, that didn’t work’

17. Worst romantic experience: none, really? nyx and her enjoyed pretty much any date they went on no matter what happened. nyx was incredibly awkward when they first had sex though but she doesn’t think of it being ‘worst’ by any means.

18. Biggest insecurity: she thinks far less of herself than everyone else does and like she’s a burden to those around her. at one point in their journey ignis has to tell her straight up to Knock That Shit Off.

19. Weapon of choice: any sort of one-handed blade; because of Reasons specifically her personal blade which is–what she’s unaware of as being a replica of an ancient weapon–the Blazefire Saber

20. Role Model: her father and king regis

Fantasy Daddy Simulator -- Final Fantasy XV x Dream Daddy Headcanons (Part 3)

PHEW! I think this is my last installment for now in the FFXV x DDADDS headcanons for you all. c: I decided to just go with three of these dad dudes in this one, since there are a few that I thought about but ultimately decided to skip on. Need more information! Or some of them were briefly mentioned as it is in the other headcanons and that type of thing. Gosh, these were fun to write! Perhaps I’ll write more about these headcanons in drabbles or more individualistic headcanons about them. If you all are interested in either one of those. c;

For now though, enjoy the last part of the FDS headcanons, my friends! Thanks for letting me write and share these with you all~

PREGAME NOTES

Let’s add about 15-20 years on these boys. Give them time for the children to grow older.

Let’s also say they live in that cul-de-sac area just like from Dream Daddy.

And the children are just me throwing dumb thoughts your way. Because yay for thinking up of headcanons (and child characters unmentioned!).

FANTASY DADDY SIMULATOR – FFXV x Dream Daddy (Part 3)

Featuring: Nyx Ulric, Titus Drautos, and Dino Ghiranze

PART ONE – Featuring Noctis, Prompto, Ignis, and Gladio PART TWO -- Featuring Ravus, Ardyn, Loqi, and Cor

Nyx Ulric – Adoptive Father, Father of One Girl and Two Boys

Likes: Being the Hero, Smoking, Watching TV and Napping, Busting A Sick Dance Move Dislikes: Guys Hitting on His Daughter, People Who Yell at Him, Having to Pay Per View

Nyx Ulric is a man married to his job as a police officer. There’s nothing that could be avoided about that with Police Commander breathing down his neck about Nyx doing his work so he can go home to his kids.

But the thought of that was really nice, Nyx thought to himself. To be able to go home and see his kids, kiss his spouse on the cheek, and just be able to have a good family life instead of going back to his crusty apartment. Not that he’d have a spouse anytime soon. Unless their name was the LPD, that is.

However, when he found himself investigating a series of domestic violence calls to a single address, he knew that the married life was a lot harder than it looked. He arrived and managed to get the parents away from the children, arresting both parents as the little girl held her face to cover her black-eye.

After having taken the kids back to the precinct, he was supposed to get their statements and then find a guardian who would take them. But no guardians were known in the area, and it seemed like the kids were refusing to go in the first place. The only one who could calm them down was Nyx.

So Commander Fleuret let out a sigh and asked Nyx if he can let the kids stay at his apartment to calm down and avoid being scared at the police station even more than before. Nyx agreed, but he’d need to clear out all of those empty beer bottles in his place first. Oops. Those aren’t for kids!

Eventually, he and the children bonded by making pillow and sheet fortresses in the living room so they can sleep, learning more about their situation from the eldest son and how they just wanted to get out of there to make sure their little sister wouldn’t get hurt anymore.

Sympathizing with them, Nyx promised to make sure he’d find them a place far away from their abusive parents.

Nyx, however, after the few days of keeping an eye on the kids, refused to let them go to any shelter or home. But with how bad his apartment really was, he’d have to get his act together to give them a better place. So with what money he had saved for that new car he really wanted, he put a down payment to rent an actual house for himself and the kids, asking if they would want to come live with him now that he actually had a new place.

And so, with their agreement, Nyx became their adoptive father. One step closer to that fancy dream. Now he just needed a spouse of some kind. Could you rent one maybe? Wait, no. That’d be called hiring a prostitute. Oops. Oh well, he can just ask Uncle Libertus and Auntie Crowe to drop by and make the family a bit bigger.

Speaking of Libertus and Crowe, they visit often enough with the others from the precinct for the kids to consider them like their aunts and uncles. Even Tredd comes over to steal some food, but finds himself bonding with the youngest boy and giving him pointers on how to actually be good at doing, well, anything (unlike his dad).

Despite him having two sons and a daughter, he hated to admit it, but he spoiled the living hell out of his daughter. He and his sons both did. He’d keep every cute photo of her in his wallet next to his boys’ photo with their soccer trophy, pointing at the photo and going ‘THERE’S MY LITTLE GIRL. And my boys.’

Nyx would also volunteer to chaperone every school dance too – especially the ones where he knew that his little girl had a boyfriend to go with her. So you would literally just see Nyx, standing bodyguard position in the corner as he and his boys stare down the Amicitia kid when his hands wandered too low on her sides.

He wouldn’t change this life for anything in the world. Because after being able to bond with the kids he rescued and protected, he knew that there was something out there worth fighting for.

Titus Drautos – Widower, Father of One Girl

Likes: Reading Smutty Literature, Kicking Ass, Boxing, Cosplaying Dislikes: Guys Staring at His Daughter’s Ass or Boobs, Insubordinate Punks, Hearing ‘Are We There Yet?’ Whenever He Drives

He’s an older guy, he’s not afraid to admit that. But regardless of how old he is, he’s still able to get out his baton and beat you to hell and back. It’s how he managed to become the Chief of the Police, after all, and he runs the police department well.

He’s a grumpy old bastard, even more so after his wife passed away from sickness, so don’t you dare try to piss him off unless you really want to get beaten up. He doesn’t really care if you’re a perp or a cop. If you get in his way to get the job done, guess who’s going to have a taste of some Drautos-brand beatdowns?

Of course, there is one person in the world that he’s got left that does know how to calm him down, and that’s his daughter. Tall with eyes just like her father. And also, buxom enough to draw a lot of attention whenever she decides to drop by the police department and say hello to all of the officers.

Drautos shoots a lethal glare at them all when their eyes lock onto her for too long before he and his daughter go out to dinner, and he makes sure that none of those slimy guys gave her their phone number. If anywhere was going to date his little girl, it wouldn’t be anyone he knew directly.

Or if he had it his way, his daughter wouldn’t date anyone no matter what.

His daughter had grown up to be a rather successful writer, one who graced the world with her popular novels known as The Glaive of Kings, inspired by those who she met in her real life.

The books became so popular that she often is invited to be guests at conventions and events that make her father really proud of her. His baby girl being a successful author!

Though when he finally did decide to read her books, he was shocked to see just how profane they all were. Violence, sex, scandal – and where those two men doing it on top of a burning citadel?! He had to close the book, red-faced as he stared at his eager daughter looking for feedback.

But despite his first initial shock, he’s his daughter’s number one fan and sometimes helps her promote her books by building a full-replica model of the evil General Laucag’s armor. He wore it for a few days to Insomnime, claiming that he was on a ‘business trip’ instead.

His lie was short lived as Officer Ulric and his partner Officer Ostium arrived at the convention to make sure everything was peaceful and well.

They recognized Drautos’s daughter, asking her how things were. In which she gladly replied, ‘Things are great! My father’s been really raking in the crowd!’

They both turn and stare at the armor-clad, sword-wielding behemoth of a general standing next to her before they felt Drautos’s deathglare through the suit of warbola and PVC armor. If they spoke of this at work even a little bit, they’d be worse than fired.

So they simply backed away, allowing Drautos and his daughter to take photos with the fans. Man did that armor look cool though…

Dino Ghiranze – Divorced, Father of Three Boys, One Girl, and Too Many Dogs

What has two hands, access to all sorts of creative juices, and a studio dedicated to making his jewelry and miniature metalwork sculptures? Dino does! It was unfortunate that he decided that his metalwork and passion for making jewelry was more important than his wife, but it was all okay, he supposed.

Because in the end, the kids all wanted to stay with him anyways.

He’s a bit more of the struggling father compared to the others, mostly because he had quit his job as reporter to pursue jewelry making full-time and decided to try living off the idea of taking on commissions to provide for himself and his four kids.

Despite it being rough though, he’s been doing well with his business, getting commissioned by people (including the rich eris of the Fleuret family at one point) to craft two wedding rings. That handsome sum of money was enough to afford his house’s rent for an entire year!

It’s those types of commissions that’s able to get Dino by in terms of rent, and they actually come a lot more frequently than he anticipated. But that’s all the better, because then he was able to work as he could and then spend time with his children and teach them all about the craft.

Not like they really wanted to know about it, except for maybe his daughter, but he didn’t really mind it because all of them became artistic in some sort of way.

His eldest son is a ceramicist, learning the art during his high school days and just having a natural knack for it ever since. His other two sons (identical twins) both decided to become painters and drawing media artists, and they’ve been working on a comic book together to one day beat out the famous Glaive of Kings book and TV series.

Dino’s daughter and the youngest in the family is still trying to find his knack of things, but really likes the idea of doing what his dad is doing. It’s mostly just him stringing beads together and saying that it’s a pretty necklace, but Dino adores it anyways, wearing them all with pride whenever he can.

He’s proud of his kids’ artworks, always displaying them around the house in what he calls ‘La Gallaria della famiglia Ghiranze.’ Basically, the family gallery. His eldest occupies the kitchen with all of the dishes and platters he throws, his twins litter the walls with paintings and drawings framed and taped on walls, and his little daughter gets her brothers and father to model for her.

Of all the things though, Dino could do without the random dogs that his children like to collect. Strays, adopted ones, dogs who just wandered into the wrong part of the neighborhood and crossed paths with the Ghiranzes, they all for some reason end up at Dino’s house.

There were a few times that the Amicitias’ dog ended up at Dino’s house. So when the girls asked if they saw Behemoth around, Dino assumed it was the Saint Bernard that the twins literally rode home one day.

Nope. Instead, it was the wiener dog that his daughter stole to get revenge on one of the Amicitia boys putting gum on her bracelet. Dino apologized to the girls before giving them back their dog and apologizing on behalf of his daughter.

He gave her a high five when nobody else was looking though. Way to really stick it to the man!
