#Libertus ostium

[risingmoonyue]

AU in which Noctis decides Prompto needs a new dad since his parents suck. Unfortunately, despite being The Real Actual Prince, he is still not legally allowed to keep Prompto. Which just means he's got to find one himself!

(He's now taking interviews.)

(The Citadel lives in fear of the most motivated Prince Noctis anyone has ever seen)

Noctis: so, dad

Noctis: what are your feelings on adoption?

Regis:

Regis: is this about me not letting you adopt Prompto...? I told you it doesn't work like that.

Noctis, narrowing his eyes and pulling out a clipboard and red pen: subject seems adverse to giving the best chocobo eyed sunshine children loving homes

Regis: now hold on a minute--

----

Noctis: if someone--say, a bully named Trevor Fabius who lives three houses down the street from the corner store on 6th Ave--tripped someone else who happened to be your beloved, most adorable and sunshiney son in everything but flesh and blood in the middle of the street what would you do?

Nyx: this sounds very specific.

Crowe: stab them why

Libertus: I mean maybe not STAB stab them. A bit of light terror here and there.

Noctis, taking notes on his clipboard: interesting.

----

Noctis: so--

Clarus: listen, Highness, as nice as I think your friend is, I have my hands full with my actual two children already.

Noctis: drat.

---

Noctis, pulling out the puppy eyes: Iggy--

Ignis, not bothering to turn around: I am still unable to adopt people Noctis

Noctis: Gladio--?

Gladio, turning a page in his novel: yeah no me neither. Did you try Cor yet?

Noctis: he's next. but im trying to see if I can't get him to soften up to the idea first

Iggy and Gladio: ????

---

Cor:

Noctis:

Cor, handing over a large stack of adoption fliers, brochures, and paraphernalia: maybe try a little more subtly next time.

----

Prompto, beet red and hiding his face: astrals, Noctis, WHY

Prompto: I HAVE TO LOOK AT SOME OF THESE PEOPLE IN THE FACE AGAIN

Noctis: I mean that's the idea

Prompto: [incoherent screeching]

Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV (2016) Parting Ways

[dream--interrupted]

more kingsglaive sillies

[crimson-sun]

Given there's sometimes more than a year between updates on this I'd be surprised if folks were still interested... but we persist! This is Chapter 1.4 of Comrades AU.

Earlier installments are here on Tumblr under this tag but the easiest way to read would be on AO3.

Now we're finally up to Chapter 2!

[acecaelumizunia]

The Kingsglaive is made up of refugees from all over Eos but it's funnier in fics when they're all from Galahd cause now it's like everyone has generational beef with this one family (The Furia's) and they just never dropped it even after moving to The Crown City.

FFXV: Fate, Hope & Sacrifice

After reading this post by @queenoffishingandcookies, I was inspired to write this impromptu meta to examine Regis' perspective on Noctis' fate more deeply which resulted in considering others as well, leading me to realize that, in a story defined by sacrifice, all the most notable deaths: Regis, Nyx, Luna and Noctis, operate without knowing all the details of the other's fates or what would ultimately happen to each other - which only adds to the inherent tragedy as they all possess hope for outcomes that cannot be.

Early on, Final Fantasy XV becomes a story punctuated by a series of sacrifices building off each other and being passed down like a baton in a relay race in an effort to aid Noctis and ultimately give the world a future, with every death before the young king paving the way to his own. It's not a coincidence, for example, that the illusions of Regis, Luna and Nyx's bodies are the main ones displayed by Ardyn in the throne room at the end to try and emotionally assault Noctis (and the audience) with the painful reminder of the lives who were sacrificed for him to reach that pivotal moment.

NYX

Nyx is a loyal man dedicated to serve his king and doesn't hesitate to sacrifice his life in service of a greater good. Put in a difficult situation, he puts on the Ring of the Lucii and agrees to his own demise for the chance to help safeguard the future by giving Luna the opportunity to help Noctis, who he was initially angered to learn Regis was protecting above all else. As he dies, he voices his desire for Noctis to rule well, assuming that he will eventually become king and Luna would naturally become his queen and rule by his side - a pretty nice future and one that Libertus confirms he's rooting for as well. Though his sacrifice wasn't in vain, Nyx had no idea that that wouldn't actually happen and that both would one day perish instead.

Sharing the same desire to secure a future for the world (and a name meaning as well), Nyx feels like a predecessor of sorts whose own death serves to parallel Noctis' eventual demise as they both must wield the Ring to succeed, which mars their flesh and leaves their bodies to disintegrate into nothing as/before dawn breaks.

LUNA

Luna is knowledgeable of and dedicated to her role as the Oracle and her fated task to help Noctis become the King of Light for most of her life, providing him more help and wisdom than any. Unfortunately, she secretly knew she was going to die as a result of the covenants she had to forge for him and had to accept the sad reality that she would never get to marry and live her life with him like she so desperately wanted, though she probably comforted herself with the hope that, at least, he would get to live a long life and help restore the world.

As further confirmed in the novel, Dawn of the Future, Luna had no idea that Noctis would have to die to complete his calling and was devastated upon seeing a vision of Noctis' impending sacrifice and that her actions in giving him the Ring would ultimately result in the death of the man she loves. Though she seeks to stop it from happening in that reality, in the canon story she'd be forced to watch helplessly as it all unfolds and continue to help him reach that tragic conclusion no matter how much it breaks her heart.

REGIS

Though a great king to his people, Regis is driven above all else to protect Noctis and grant him as much opportunity for happiness as possible before his unjust demise. Like Luna knew of her impending death, Regis seems to suspect that he's going to die in the attack and lets it happen without much of a fight, putting his final hope in Nyx to protect Luna and, in turn, aid his son. Right before his death, when Regis states that he wishes Noctis and Luna a happy life together, I always wondered if he knew it wasn't actually going to happen but, as a loving father would, still dreamed for it anyway and wanted to voice his heart's desire to Luna as his parting words to her or if he genuinely believed it was possible.

We know that Regis learned that Noctis would eventually have to be sacrificed when he's five years old, but I was unsure if he was simply told it would happen sometime in the future and therefore had no idea when or shown through a vision and could therefore estimate based on seeing Noctis' aged appearance as suggested by the OP. I don't know if that's confirmed but, even if not, I think it's likely that he could have seen it given the fact that - in the DLC/Dawn of the Future anyway - Ignis, Ardyn, Luna and Noctis himself all see a vision of his death on the throne, so if they got a chance to witness it beforehand, I imagine Regis probably could have as well as someone with direct access to the Crystal. Also, if the Omen trailer is meant to act as a depiction of a potential future Regis sees and seeks to avoid, then it seems like confirmation that he received other visions as well.

As I wrote in my meta breaking down Noctis' appearance, he looks arguably a bit older than a 30-year-old after the time skip given the immense power he's been granted so, if Regis did see him in a vision, he may even assume he could be mid 30s or older and would get the chance to live all those years. With this hope in mind, Regis may believe that his son would at least get to enjoy some period of relative happiness with Luna (as he doesn't know she's actually going to die soon) and hoped they'd marry and even potentially have a child and continue the Lucis line (Regis had Noctis when he was 30 after all). He had no way of knowing that none of those things would happen and that Noctis would have to enter the Crystal, lose ten years of his life and die without experiencing the joy of marriage or children like he was able to.

NOCTIS

Noctis, of course, was largely left in the dark for most of his life and never could have imagined the tragic events that would unfold after leaving home to get married. He had no idea Insomnia would be attacked and his father would die. He had no idea that Luna would perish as a result of her duty to him. He had no idea of Ardyn's true identity or intentions. He had no idea that saving the world would require him to sacrifice his own life until entering the Crystal and having a decade stripped from him - an event that recontextualized his dubious regard of his father's previous choices and his feelings about his own demise in relation to other sacrifices, most notably Luna's, which gives him the determination to go through with it as well and ensure no one who died for him did so in vain. His experience wrestling with the reality of his fate and an untimely demise is one shared by those before him to some degree and one he must accept wholeheartedly as well. You can read this meta for more of my in-depth thoughts on Noctis' mentality toward his fate.

I think it's harder to know what Noctis originally expected to happen before learning what was meant to. Even if he succeeded in defeating Ardyn, he'd have to face a future without his father or Luna, whom he genuinely hoped to be with, though his friends would certainly continue to be great support and comfort, and we do get a taste of this potential reality at the end of Episode Ignis. Naturally, Noctis probably considered the potential repercussions should he fail, which would have left the entire world in perpetual darkness and despair ruled by Ardyn with no hope of change - a prospect that would no doubt further fuel his resolve to succeed no matter what. It all comes down to him now and he can't fail.

IGNIS

Though it doesn't cost him his life, I want to quickly touch on Ignis who sacrifices his eyesight upon using the Ring (and idea borne in remembrance of Nyx's actions) in an attempt to protect Noctis and even seeks to save him from his fate after seeing a vision of him on the throne in Episode Ignis. To try and keep him safe, Ignis suggests they end their journey, but Noctis refutes that he can't let any sacrifice at his expense be made in vain and Ignis has no choice but to accept Noctis' decision, knowing more than he does where this path truly leads - similar to Regis before he died.

CONCLUSION

Though the path of their lives was skewed by fates they could not control, all remained driven by their love for each other and others and ultimately succeeded in what they set out to do and achieved a semblance of what they had hoped for: Nyx succeeded in helping Luna and therefore Noctis, who was able to provide a future for the world even if he didn't get to rule it. Regis didn't get to see Noctis and Luna wed in life like he desperately hoped for, but he's comforted by their matrimonial union in death and that his son was able to experience some happiness in life - his success filling him with pride. Luna succeeded in aiding Noctis and, though she didn't get to spend her life with him like she dreamed, they're able to be together forever in the afterlife. Noctis didn't get to live the life he expected but succeeded in saving the world like everyone before him hoped and sacrificed for and gets to rest by his beloved's side forevermore. Even Ardyn himself is able to find peace after centuries of suffering - all fates resulting in a bittersweet conclusion to an inherently tragic tale.

Arms and Glaives

In the days following the attack of the Wall that protects the Crown City, both former Arms-in-training are called to meet with Ater Somnium. All the while, both Libertus and Nyx are called to meet with Captain Drautos mildly regarding the state of things.

FFXV: Reimagined Table of Contents

<- Previous • Next ->

Wiping the sweat from her brow, Primam had been taken away to the medical and triage center of the Glaive HQ. She had no say in the matter when Mollis came to retrieve her. After the attack at the Wall just a few nights ago, there were a number of Glaive that had come back, beaten and battered. Ever since being stripped of title alongside her twin brother, this was the new, glamorous life she had to grow accustomed to over the last half year.

"How are we feeling?" Primam asked, her hand outstretched over one Glaive's injury. She was taking care of a deep cut that ran nearly the whole length of the arm of the person she was tending to. Their stitches had already come loose — no doubt a result of pushing themselves after receiving them.

With her grasp of White magic, Primam's Cura spell worked to mend the wound together, leaving behind a smaller scar than if it had healed naturally on its own.

The Glaive moved their arm around and then flexed their fingers before a scoff of disbelief fell from their lips. "I can hardly tell I was hurt to begin with! Thanks!"

"That's good to hear…" Primam said with a small smile before she stood back up on her feet. "Still, treat it as if you still have that injury. I know I have no real jurisdiction to tell you what to do, though I do recommend setting aside some time for rest. You will feel extremely tired within the next half hour due to the magic's speeding up your body's healing process — you'll feel like you've ran a marathon once it catches up with you."

"I'll keep that in mind."

Primam watched as the Glaive hopped off the cot and threw their jacket back on. With a sigh, she could also feel her own body wanting so desperately for rest. There was only so much that she, the other medical-based Glaive, and even those under the employ of House Viridis could do to allay the injuries the surviving Glaive sustained from the attack.

All of it was so worrying. It was not as if Niflheim making advances on the territories of Lucis was anything new… But to have come and try to breach the Wall?

Primam's face scrunched slightly.

The very fact that Emperor Ideolas Aldercapt now wanted to sign a treaty for peace after pressing such a display of force… It beggared belief.

"Prim." A familiar voice made Primam snap her attention over. She saw her twin brother walking in through the doorway, a furrow in his brow as he neared.

"Tandem?" Primam was surprised to see him at all. He was not as magically gifted as she was, so there was barely a reason for him to have been there under normal circumstances. She turned to face him more fully. "What is it?"

"Ater is summoning us…" Tandem kept his words brief and to the point. His expression already spoke volumes as to his discomfort for the situation at hand. "I know you're busy down here, but Mollis made it sound pretty urgent."

"I'll assume Captain Drautos is aware…" Primam replied.

"Who cares if he is?" Tandem asked with a shrug, his question rhetorical. "Either way, Ater's word take precedence over Drautos' any way you slice it."

While that statement was true, Primam could not help the frown that tugged at her lips. It was clear that Captain Drautos had been taken unaware by their placement in the Glaive when they were presented before him. It seemed their mother, Gratia, had not taken the time to inform Drautos of such matters.

As such, it made Primam wary of doing much within the Glaive without 'proper' permission. After all, with the way Drautos often addressed them so curtly since their recruitment… It was completely different than when they had seen Drautos otherwise back when they were made to be at Noctis' side.

"Lead the way…" Primam motioned forward briefly. Once Tandem turned and started walking on his way, Primam fell into step behind him.

Walking the halls of the Glaive HQ always felt like a pale imitation of walking the halls of the Citadel. Sure, the architecture could have been called similar…all just a construct of Insomnia with the telltale Insomnian design. But no matter how long it had been since the twins had been stationed within the Glaive, the sand and ivory tones of the Glaive HQ versus the obsidian and warm tones of the Citadel really just cemented the fact that they walked within the shade of what 'home' was to them. Even the silence that lingered between them as they walked was something so foreign. Especially as it stayed settled between them all the way til they reached the door to Ater's office.

Tandem rapped his knuckles against the door. When a voice from beyond invited them to enter, the twins filed in and stood before the desk where Ater was seated.

"Glad you two could make it," Ater greeted with a smile on his face. He then gestured toward the leather seats, inviting both Primam and Tandem to sit.

Both continued to stand.

"Master Ater…" Primam began. Her brow was set in a somewhat worried furrow. With so many Glaive that needed aid, she did feel torn between standing there and needing to go back to help those within her same station. "Apologies…it's just…there aren't enough medical staff to care for the Glaive. I apologize if I seem in a rush to inquire as to why Tandem and I have been called here by you."

Normally, Primam would have never considered speaking up before those ranked higher than her had a chance to speak their part. These were, however, quite interesting times that they were all living in right now. And these interesting times seemed to make it so that this weight of time needed to be managed properly with each ticking second.

"Ah…yes. The medical situation is quite dire — more given that Arbor is unable to tend to anything since many of us have been required to double our efforts in our stations since the announcement of the peace treaty…" Ater laced his fingers together and then rested them over his mouth, a contemplative expression befalling his face. "I will tend to what I can in your absence should you both be amenable to what I'd like to offer you."

"Which is?" Tandem pressed, his arms coming up to fold over his chest.

"Prince Noctis is due to leave tomorrow," Ater replied simply.

"… 'Tomorrow'?" Primam repeated, her face twisting into confusion. "But…he's due to wed the Lady Oracle here in the city in the next—"

"Is what we want Niflheim to believe is the plan…" Ater interjected. He stood from his desk and walked around it. "Noctis and his selected retinue will be leaving the city to depart for Altissia where he and Lady Lunafreya will be wed instead."

"Why weren't we told?" Tandem's brow tightly knitted together with annoyance.

"Because as Arms of the King, you would have no doubt found a way to go with him, and we need you here." Ater frowned with this statement. "Just as we need Mollie and those of the Voxes here. With the peace treaty signing happening soon, it is now I must tell you to be prepared for anything. As such, I must also ask you to act as Arms of the People until such a time you can reclaim your mantles of Arm of the King."

"Isn't the date still undecided? What the hell does that mean?" Tandem hissed, his fingers digging into his arm.

Ater pursed his lips. "I'm afraid I can't say more than that. All you need to know is that you will know when the time comes."

Both Tandem and Primam fell into silence, mulling over what Ater revealed to them.

"… So what exactly are you offering us?" Tandem finally asked.

"Reprieve from the Glaive HQ and duties thereof for the day," Ater replied. "You can use this time to see Noctis and wish him well. It's the least I can do for the two of you. I know your mother won't."

Primam's lips parted, surprise on her face as she looked up at Ater. "Th…Thank you, Master Ater."

Ater's expression softened. "It's the least I could do… Now go on. The two of you are wasting valuable daytime."

"What if our mother catches wind?" Tandem asked, skeptical for the situation at large compared to Primam. "Don't get me wrong, Ater, I just want to know that Gratia doesn't hear back about this. Or if she does, then it'd be good to know that she can at least shove it up her—"

Ater held up a hand to silence Tandem. "Gratia will not hear word of this. As it so happens, she is currently out all day attending a meeting with the King and the rest of the royal council. Sans myself, of course."

"And why aren't you present?" Tandem's eyes narrowed.

"Someone needs to oversee the Glaive, and given the attack on the Wall last night, we cannot entrust this fully to either Cor nor Captain Drautos. Besides…" Ater sighed, his expression changing slightly to concern. "Cor has already been stationed at the city outskirts per the King's order. He's already taken his own selection of Crownsguard with him."

Pursing her lips, Primam mulled over everything told to both she and Tandem in that time. The more she thought about it, the more her brow creased with consideration. She was about to open her mouth to ask a question before Tandem beat her to it.

"So Cor's not at the stuffy meetings, either? Since when did the Noble Houses go out past the Wall for duty? Surely the Guard and the Glaive are more than enough to take care of the Wall. Hell…you have Prim and I to take care of things as part of the Glaive now — not that anyone has bothered to send us out there." Tandem's voice carried an uneasy edge to it, as if trying to make sense of the situation overall while also justifying his stance.

"We can't send 'new recruits' out to defend the Wall. That's what you are… In a sense." Ater rolled his hand. "Look. Stop asking questions. I told you what I can. Know that there's a reason for everything. Now get on out of here and meet with the Prince."

Tandem's step forward to keep pressing was Primam's cue to grab her brother by the arm and tug him toward the door. She kept her attention on Ater, a tired though grateful smile on her face. "Thank you, Master Ater, for this opportunity. I hope that we can go ahead and repay it at some point."

Primam turned her attention toward Tandem.

"We should get showered and dressed to meet with Noctis."

It took a couple seconds, but Tandem eventually relented and relaxed, turning toward the door himself. "Yeah, let's get going. Thanks, Ater."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The briefing room was empty, which Libertus seemed to enjoy, surprisingly. Of course, with his left leg bound in a cast up to the middle of his shin, Libertus was off duty for quite some time as he had to abide by any physical therapy that he was assigned. Most of what his duties included were running any errands he was capable of…which was not exactly much.

Libertus sat up straight in the chair he was in when he heard the creaking of the door opening. Looking at the entryway, he noted a tall man in a captain’s uniform. The man within that uniform was Captain Titus Drautos — the one Kingsglaive answered to if Clarus Amicitia, Gratia Chorus, Cor Leonis, nor Ater Somnium were there to keep watch over every little thing.

“Thank you for coming, Libertus,” Titus said before pausing and scanning the room. His gaze fell back upon Libertus with the barest hint of bemusement before he asked, "Where’s Nyx?"

“On his way. What’s up?” Libertus asked, reaching for his crutches and standing to his feet. It was more out of respect than anything.

“I wanted one of you to see the Prince back to his place in the city,” Titus briefly explained, a frown settling on his lips. Libertus could only imagine that the stern expression was because Nyx was late. If anything, Libertus was hoping Nyx had a good excuse.

“Seriously? Dropping off the Prince?” Libertus sighed, failing at masking the annoyance in his tone as he leaned on the support of one of his crutches. He was hoping for a more meaningful errand than being a chauffeur. “Are we babysitters now?”

“It’s the price to pay for using his car,” Titus replied nonchalantly as he made his way toward one of the Lucian maps.

“To do what, exactly?” Libertus asked, unsure if he would actually receive an answer.

“To safeguard our esteemed guests,” Titus said as if it were obvious. “It’s the only one worthy of the task.”

Irritation and annoyance on Libertus’ face gave way to gloom and worry after Captain Drautos spoke. He pursed his lips a couple times, struggling to find the right words before finally asking: “It’ll be a peaceful exchange, won’t it? Any car should do….”

A twinge of annoyance came back when Libertus heard Titus quietly laugh to himself.

“I take it you’re not a fan of the ceasefire, huh?” Captain Drautos asked, meandering toward one of the great arched windows and staring out at the Glaive training yard. Libertus noticed some Glaives out there practicing how to warp.

“I dunno…” Libertus finally managed to say after pushing away his annoyance to the best of his ability and reaffirming his attention onto Captain Drautos. “I want peace like anyone else. I should be happy if no one else has to get hurt like this.”

“But you can’t be happy,” Titus said, adopting a more steeled tone. “Not with these terms.”

If Libertus could shift anymore of his weight onto his crutches without falling, he probably would have in that moment. Everything about the ceasefire’s terms was disappointing. It was not as if Galahd was going to be rebuilt by Niflheim — the land itself was going to be absorbed into it instead. The prospect was not at all something that Libertus wanted. It was not what most of his Galahd friends and comrades in arms wanted. They were fighting for Insomnia in hopes that they could eventually reclaim their lands — their homes — after all.

“‘Course not…” Libertus spoke, his voice quiet. “You know we’re all thinking the same thing…”

Titus fell quiet, his eyes scanning the training grounds before they went up and glanced around the opposing buildings. His chest heaved with a silent sigh before he glanced at Libertus and then his leg.

“How is it?” Titus asked, changing the subject. “Your leg, that is.”

“Still need these crutches to get around,” Libertus replied, his voice still carrying that dejected tone. A soldier that could not fight was useless for the most part. That was how Libertus felt for the time being.

“I see…” Titus gave another silent sigh. "Sorry for calling you out here, then. Assignments have been updated, so have a look. After that, go home and rest that leg."

Libertus cocked his head to the side somewhat, confused. “What about the Prince?”

“Nyx’ll handle it.”

“... ‘Preciate it.” Libertus straightened himself out and adjusted his crutches at either side of him. “Guess I’ll head home, then.”

“Take care, Libertus,” Titus said, watching as Libertus hobbled out of the briefing room.

Libertus paused only briefly to give a halfhearted wave to his Captain before limping down the hallway.

He whirled, sole remaining kukri at the ready as the Princess spread her feet and crouched slightly, ready to run or attack. A car pulled up behind them and jerked to a stop. Libertus rolled down the window and beckoned them over.

“C’mon, get in! They set up a trap in the square, I heard it on the radio,” Libertus yelled in that tone that he was convinced was quiet.

Continuing my Nyx Lives AU where Libertus finds Nyx before he gets shot, and so he never puts on the ring. And things go from there.

Title: Hide and Sneak - Chapter 2 Author: Awlwren Link: Tumblr, Ao3 Glaives: Pelna Khara, Nyx Ulric Relationships: N/A Summary/Excerpt:

Pelna loved figuring out secrets. It was one of the best things about being a scout – putting together puzzles and learning the crucial pieces of information that could save his fellow glaives, or the Crownsguard holding the lines, or the people just trying to live their lives as the tides of war swept over them. He might not be able to liberate whole towns himself, or smash through the enemy lines to allow advances and retreats, but he could find things no one else could, and that saved lives, too.

Pelna is clever, and sneaky, and learns a lot, maybe even more than he wanted to.

Title: Where Angels Fear to Tread Author: Awlwren Link: Tumblr, Ao3 Glaives: Nyx Ulric, Titus Drautos Relationships: pre- Cor / Nyx Summary/Excerpt:

When he’d turned back enough to have a clearer shot of where Drautos had been standing guard over the glaive wounded, Cor had a moment of confusion when he didn’t see the man. A quick survey of the field showed the lone glaive who’d reinforced the western flank holding back a wall of gunfire with an impressively sturdy shield, one that surely couldn’t last, but no sign of their Captain.

As he got close enough, Cor finally realized that the hunched figure in the middle of the courtyard he’d previously missed was not wearing the red of blood but the darker shade of Drautos’s uniform.

Somehow, while he’d been being cautious, Titus Drautos had fallen.

Cor goes to meet the Kingsglaive returning from their latest raid and helps them out of an ambush, and meets someone who might be worth keeping an eye on.

Comrades, chapter 1.3.

Tremendously difficult for me to admit this, but I have to be honest with myself and recognise that I just don't have the time to render this next chapter to completion. I've been holding on to these pages for almost a year at this point - I've scripted so much of this story, but if I'm going to get it all out, bare bones at at times will have to do.

Next chapter will likely be sketchy as well... but one way or another I still want to tell this tale.

If you're still here and still interested... my sincerest thanks!

Rest of the pages here.

The amount of times Ive rewatched Kingsglaive is unhealthy and I need to be heavily sedated... or put in therapy.
