Seraph is also the more likely to get jealous which is funny because she’s also like Princess you should marry a prince you are duty bound to be with someone else this is the manner of things and how it should be. (quiet mournful wolf howl when Luna isn’t looking) and Luna is like what was that and seraphs like What was what.

[theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin]

Hey. Thanks for answering my last ask. I did like Tom/Lily back at my day (lol as if I'm that old) but to be fair...any ship with Lily is better than Jilly.

One question. What you think of Hinny and Luna x Ginny? Cause nit gone lie I think Luna x Ginny has more potential than Hinny. But maybe is because I love the trope "pop falls for unpop"

... I’m not sure I’m supposed to feel as insulted as I do that I apparently barely cleared the very low bar that is Jily. 

Moving on.

I’ve given most of my thoughts on Ginny and shipping here.

Harry/Ginny

To sum up for what you’re asking though, I think Harry/Ginny is a complete disaster. Oh, Harry’s the only one she has eyes for but... it is not a good relationship.

Both of them are attracted to the idea of one another and barely seem to know who the other is.

In the case of Ginny, she tries to be someone who she thinks Harry will be attracted to. She takes note of what failed with his relationship with Cho and goes out of her way not to be that. All of her actions in the sixth book are geared towards desperately getting Harry’s attention. More, she projected this heroic persona onto Harry Potter that she never seems to see anything beneath it.

Harry for his own part... likes Ginny’s skin? His attraction to her in Halfblood Prince is one of the weirdest things I have ever read. He seems to lust after her, sort of, we get this green rage monster that throws a fit every time he sees Dean Thomas with Ginny. However, he really doesn’t know much about her and proceeds to barely spend any time with her even when they start dating. That he leaves her in Deathly Hallows is very telling, and very chilling to me. Not only is Ginny not a part of “the gang” and not invited to their club house, Harry is effectively leaving her to be taken hostage by Voldemort. This doesn’t bother him, at all, but then nothing really does.

I also think Harry’s gay (he spends a lot more time drooling after attractive men in canon then he does attractive women), he just doesn’t know it.

So, I think his and Ginny’s marriage is likely a disaster. Ginny has affairs all the time as nothing works out the way she thought it would but is too in love with the fame, the money, and the dream of being Harry Potter’s wife to ever leave. Harry’s utterly oblivious to his wife cheating on him and has to have it pointed out by James Sirius. Harry doesn’t believe him.

I’ll put it like this, their marriage is worse than Ron and Hermione’s. And that, my friend, is a low bar.

A Tangent: Ginny’s Not Popular

I’m actually going to argue that Ginny’s not at all popular. In fact, I imagine she’s actually severely disliked. Harry’s just too oblivious to notice.

So, first, Ginny is the youngest sister of the Weasley family. We see the hit this has on Ron, who has a massive inferiority complex, but we don’t see what it means to Ginny. What we can assume though, is that she’s known, and that the instant she walks into school she has a reputation that’s not necessarily good.

Percy, her brother, is that smarmy asshole prefect.

Fred and George are those assholes who constantly prank everyone. Some think this is hilarious, usually when they’re not the victims, others aren’t too keen on this.

Ron’s that guy who’s constantly getting into trouble with Harry Potter, is a known dumbass who doesn’t even have a working wand in his second year (wizards are elitist like this), and earns hundreds of house points at the end of the year for committing arson.

All of this will feed into how people perceive Ginny before even meeting her. For better or for worse, she is a Weasley, and that means people will see her a certain way.

And then Ginny has the worst first year imaginable.

She isolates herself and pours her heart and soul into a diary. Every second she’s spending talking to Tom Riddle is a second she’s not making friends. More, Ginny’s behavior becomes more and more erratic as Tom Riddle begins to possess her. She starts missing classes, acting strangely, etc.

And I think it’s damning that no one noticed.

No one is watching Ginny, no one is even around her, so if she disappears for a few hours and wakes up covered in blood in the bathroom, nobody knows. Had Tom not written a message informing the entire school that Ginny had been kidnapped, no one would have noticed, Ginny would have died down there in the chamber and it would have been days until someone, maybe, put it together.

Ginny in her first year has no friends.

And then it’s too late.

We see with Harry that people in Hogwarts form friendships fast and they rarely change. You get your clique in you first few weeks of Hogwarts, and if you’re unlucky like Hermione then it takes a few months and a troll nearly killing you to find your group, and then you stick with that group.

Ginny comes back second year, everyone already has their best friends, there’s no room for her. She tries to integrate into a group, they just give her weird looks, and more remember her as that sickly lunatic.

Because remember, that she was possessed is not known beyond a few people. It’s never publicized, and most probably think Harry or Hagrid was behind the Chamber of Secrets Fiasco II: Electric Boogaloo.

So, you get a bunch of kids who don’t want to hang out with Ginny. And, Hogwarts houses are so insular, that Ginny can’t really go and hang out with anyone else.

For all that Ginny joins the quidditch team, for all she joins the DA, I don’t think she ever really has friends. She’s just the youngest and weirdest Weasley.

And then comes her fifth year.

Ginny decides she’s going to date every guy in Hogwarts to get Harry’s attention. Now, good or bad, this is going to get Ginny a reputation, a very negative one. To the male Hogwarts population: Ginny’s an easy lay. To the female Hogwarts population: Ginny’s that bitch who will steal your boyfriend.

Halfblood Prince will not make Ginny any friends.

Ginny/Luna

It has more potential than Harry/Ginny but I personally don’t think it’s going to happen.

Like everyone else, Ginny looks down on Luna, which is a bit hilarious as per the above I don’t think Ginny’s rolling in popularity either. Luna’s weirdness is tolerated at best in a sort of, “Oh, look how cute and nuts she is, let’s pat Luna on the head.”

More, as I explained in the Ginny shipping meta linked, Ginny only has eyes for Harry and I think it would take a lot for her to look in any other direction. And to go for Looney Lovegood instead?

Part of Harry’s appeal is that he’s Wizarding Jesus, he’s important, wonderful, charming, a prince in Ginny’s eyes. Luna’s that batty girl who lives down the street and has radishes in her ears.

I just don’t see Ginny ever going for it.

As for Luna, she’s hard to get a read on, but I believe she’s fully aware of what different people think of her. She’s a very kind and generous person who overlooks this for her friends, but in a romantic partner... I think Luna is waiting for someone who truly understands her or if not that then at least truly likes her.

I don’t think that will ever be Ginny.

[reflectionsofacreator]

Real talk though, it’s legitimately depressing how much life Iris brings to the party when you take her around. I didn’t add it onto my last post cause I just wanted a nice photoset, but the amount of dialogue and banter she has with the boys is fantastic. That’s not to say that the boys have good dialogue and banter, but sometimes it feels a little stilted or ... scripted? Not to mention there’s points where it doesn’t feel as though they’re all friends, just going through some shallow motions. Iris shakes up a lot of that, and it’s so refreshing to see it.

She’s Gladio’s teenage sister of only 15, so she’s still a schoolgirl (before the fall of Insomnia), so you’ve got Gladio showing another side to him other than Macho Macho Man. Prompto treats her like a kid sister that he never had, happily taking selfies and showing her Cool Shit. Ignis treats her the same for the most part as the boys, but he also sometimes goes so far as to be indulgent (Telling Noct to call a chocobo for her, asking what she’d like to eat) and also like a Young Lady.

Then there’s her dynamic with Noctis, which is actually surprisingly full of depth imo. She’s first and foremost an Amicitia, a noble bloodline that’s supposed to be Shields to the Kings and Queens of Lucis. If Gladio were to die, she’d take up the mantle of Shield for Noctis, likely after she got some more training. She’s a fairly regular schoolgirl on the surface, especially with Gladio trying to shield her from the harshness of, you know, actually being a Shield. He was Crownsguard at 13, while she’s clearly not that yet -- it’s very obvious that he doesn’t want his baby sister to be in the line of fire the same way that he is.

There’s also her Very Obvious Crush on prince Noctis. Normally I’d be very quick to write it off as shitty writing -- of course the younger kid sister has a crush on the protagonist/prince--but a line in her dossier profile made me pause and give it a little bit of thought. She knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that nothing can ever come of her crush. That’s... not insignificant in the grand scheme of things. It marks her intelligence and maturity (and immaturity to a degree) in ways that are somewhat unexpected. You could just write it off as Iris knowing about Noctis being engaged to Lunafreya, but I think it goes a little deeper than that -- she knows that any marriages the prince takes must be for political reasons, and, furthermore, he likely can’t marry an Amicitia due to the nature of how their bloodlines have always interacted. She’s mature enough to not pitch a fit about it either, accepting it for what it is, but she’s also immature enough to be a little bit selfish and act on her crush in tiny ways. It’s honestly quite fascinating to look at it.

The reason I say it’s depressing as all hell though is because like. Man. I remember the article/interview that came out prior to release about there being no female party members. The answer was basically “Yeah the boys can’t be themselves around a girl, so we can’t have that.” I remember being Absolutely Livid about that, and like, being even more so when I actually got to play the game with Iris in the party. Clearly they still acted like themselves, they just had a fresh dynamic to deal with. That was interesting. Iris even calls them out on not helping Ignis cook!! It wouldn’t have been that hard to tweak the writing to have her join permanently. God, I’m still mad about it years later.

Looking back on the game some ~5 years later (after having only played about a month or so after release), I really can’t say I’m surprised that Iris feels like the only female character to actually exist in the game, despite how simplistic her whole character type is. Luna is. Worthy of her own post. Cindy is relegated to being at Hammerhead and related to the Regalia, Arenea is just “badass” and that’s kinda it. I can’t really speak much for Gentiana, as I’ve actually yet to go to Altissia yet, but I remember that I wasn’t much impressed with her either.

Granted, the whole of XV has some serious narrative failings that come together in the worst ways, meaning that the praise for Iris being a really good female character is a bit shallow on my part, but the concepts are usually strong enough to be enticing. It’s just doubly frustrating because Iris felt like such a needed addition to the party, had the highest level of integration, And Yet. Like, I can kinda see how Tabata’s comment about the boys acting different around a female party member could be the case, given how the dialogue shifts when Arenea is part of the party in chapter 7, but even that feels a little... “We get it, Prompto, you’re heterosexual” kind of vibes? Idk.

Wonder if there’s a mod to make Iris a permanent party member... give her some levels...

[firelxdykatara]

I'm glad to see you liked Scarlet, and the dynamics between her and Wolf! I am curious, though, what your thoughts are on the Cinder and Kai situation since you haven't gotten to Cress yet, and what you think will happen now that you're halfway through the main series. (I'm really excited about you reading TLC! It was one of the best book series I read. Just be glad you don't have to wait months for Winter to come out. That was a g o n y. Hope you don't mind the rambling!) ~ An anon called Blue

I don't mind the rambling at all, no worries!

As to your question, I AM IN PAIN!!!!! They have been apart for a whole entire book now (and ngl, there was a moment I thought they'd be forced to leave Wolf behind when things got hairy [heh, geddit, hairy] during their escape from Paris and I was fully ready to crawl through the pages and fist-fight Marissa Meyer over it), and it is tragically ironic that everything Cinder has had to do in order to escape&survive has only served to make her look guiltier to Kai (that moment when he found out about Peony's chip and silently hoped Linh Adri was wrong even though he also knew Cinder had to be found for the good of his people, that really killed me) and I WILL NOT KNOW PEACE until she can finally convince him that everything they both felt for each other in the first book was completely genuine and she never manipulated his feelings.

Kai keeps trying to harden himself and forget what he felt cause he doesn't even know what was real and what was fake and I just NEED them to reunite so that this shit can be hashed out.

I can't wait to see Levana's expression when Cinder gatecrashes her wedding, though, and I'm really hoping it's this super dramatic 'they are literally in the middle of saying the vows before Cinder bursts in all DROP THAT RING!!!!!' big to do because I live for that shit. Although there's also the possibility that they don't get there in time to stop the wedding and have to gatecrash the coronation instead and then deal with the angst of the fact that technically Kai is married to someone else even though he hates her guts and that could also be fun.

According to the artwork for Cress, Thorne's last name suddenly makes a lot of sense (if you know the original fairy tale, the prince who woke sleeping beauty was pushed from her tower and blinded by thorns from the bushes he landed in; he also happened to be healed by the power of her tears later on, but I don't know if that aspect of the story will be the same or not--incidentally, I really enjoy how some of the 'canon' elements of the fairytales have been adapted, like that lunar special operative who was glamoured to look like Scarlet's grandma and it took her a little while to realize why grandma, what big teeth you have, I thought that was very clever), and it's going to be very interesting to see how they meet and how their relationship unfolds. Thorne is like this cross between Han Solo (yeah, I noticed that bit in the Meyer questionaire at the end lol) and Flynn Rider (no wonder I was getting Atton vibes) and I can't wait to see how he deals with genuine feelings that he won't be able to flirt his way out of.

Uhhhh as far as big predictions, I'm guessing that something will go wrong with Cinder's attempt to take back her rightful throne. Whether she winds up Lunar Queen in the end or not, I'm not so sure--it would be kind of thematically poignant, I think, to have a genuine love marriage be the thing that finally unites Luna and Earth, but I could also see someone else (Winter, maybe? who I'm guessing will be the full Lunar raised on Luna, cause we have Cinder [full Lunar raised on Earth], Scarlet [quarter Lunar raised on Earth], and Cress [Lunar shell raised in a satellite] already) being the one who winds up taking over, earning the love of the Lunar people rather than compelling it.

Unless the Lunar government is just dismantled entirely, which is always a possibility.

Besides, Cinder's gonna have enough problems being the Empress of the Commonwealth as a Lunar and a cyborg. At this point, she really, really doesn't want to rule the moon, but she's not exactly a reluctant hero because she is willing to do whatever it takes to stop Levana, even if that means sacrificing her own happiness and security in the end. So I'm not so sure her happily ever after would go so well if she were also Queen of a people she was raised to hate and fear like everyone else on Earth.

(Obviously don't confirm or deny anything here, I'm really enjoying going into this series pretty completely blind, but I'll definitely be coming back to my thoughts later on to see how right or wrong I was lmao.)

Her older sister Flurry Heart, while working hard and still making sure to get her work done, is a lot more laze in things and is ok with letting things slide if they don't go according to plan. Which tends to lead Skyla to try and follow after her and fix these things even if they don't need to be fixed. Skyla puts on a nice happy face for the people but all her siblings know she holds quite the temper when no one is looking, especially when Flurry tries to tell her to calm down.

She was blinded by anger and sadness, when she ruled she truly believed the only way to feed her people was to take their love, and when shown a new way she felt foolish for never realizing and having let her people starve that she denied the change at all. After the Hive came to accept her as their own again she led beside Thorax and his council. Thorax had always been too young to rule all by himself so with a queen with years of experience around to help him things in the Hive improved in new ways. now with her relationship with the Hive repaired Chrysalis slowly made progress to apologize for what she did to Candace and Shining armor. it took awhile to move past the day she invaded and tried to ruin their wedding, but in time over years of forming bonds they had a new wedding. introducing Chrysalis to their family.

Instar likes to spend time with Flurry heart and shining armor the most, Flurry heart because she is quite and they get to just sit around listening to music and reading. and his father because he gets to sit on the side line and watch him work. Instar doesn't think they'd make much for a guard but they love to read all about the different weapons, armors and Technics taught through history and the country. watching his father display these things, or Flurry heart MAKE them is right up his ally. If you do manage to get him to talk to you he is an info dumping machine and will talk your ear off about some obscure history thing he's learned recently.

Fleeting Beauty Ending 2

Fleeting Beauty Ending 2

Like I said in Ending 1, the first part of the story is the same as the first ending, but it doesn’t stay the same for too long...

This is the second ending to this story...

Ending 2

WC: 1573

Waiting for the sun to rise the next morning was utter torture for the blond. He couldn’t help but beat himself up over the fact that one of his best friends had disappeared without him noticing.

Maybe if I hadn’t been so busy trying to impress Cindy, then--

Prompto’s thoughts were cut short when he was blinded by the sun creeping over the horizon. He hadn’t slept at all that night, his mind not once shutting off. It was like it was trying to make the blond marksman feel guilty about the past few weeks. After all, he had been the one to beg with Noctis and the king to let (Y/n) join them on their journey.

As soon as the sun hit his eyes, Prompto was jumping to his feet, going to wake the others.

“Iggy, come on! Wake up!” he ordered, shaking the tactician by the shoulders. It didn’t take too much to wake him -- he was a light sleeper -- but it still felt too slow to Prompto. He wanted -- no, needed -- to find (Y/n), and the quicker the better.

Ignis said nothing as he rose, then promptly went to wake Noctis while Prompto woke Gladio. After what felt like hours -- Ignis insisted that they all eat something before they leave on their search -- the group of four trekked across the deserts of Leide. Their first stop -- the Bandersnatch behind Hammerhead.

***

Prompto was moving with a speed the others had never seen before, not even in training. It was heartbreaking, really: the blond had been so preoccupied with his own interests that he hadn’t realized just how much (Y/n) meant to him until it was possibly too late. All of the boys had seen the way she looked at him, except for him. And their hearts felt for the young woman in love.

Noctis, while also being in love with someone, didn’t have to worry about said person not feeling the same way. He and Luna had held feelings for one another way before this arranged marriage.

Gladio, well... He would recognize the look in (Y/n)’s eyes even if he was blind: it wasn’t one of familial love, like what he shared with Iris, and the love the small girl held for Prompto went far beyond that of a caring friend. Fuck, Gladio had felt that same kind of love a few times before, back when he was a teenager.

And Ignis? He made it a point to keep an eye on all of his comrades, so it was rare that anything slipped past him. He had been the first to notice the longing in (Y/n)’s gaze when she would watch her best friend, and his suspicions had only been confirmed when she had put herself between Prompto and an MT instead of going to protect Noctis, who had been indisposed. But he could never hold it against her; she was Prompto’s childhood friend, after all, and she hadn’t made an oath to protect the prince with her life like the others had. And besides, he and Gladio had gone to protect Noctis in her stead.

And now, as they followed after Prompto, just barely keeping up with him in his frenzied state, all they felt was a sense of dread. As they crested the ridge, their eyes were met with a horrific scene.

The bandersnatch lay in the small water source in the crater, the water turned red with blood. It was unsure whether it was the creatures or (Y/n)’s, and that sent Prompto into a panic once more. The blond jumped into the crater, his legs carrying him across the desolate earth until he came to a stop at the monster’s body. Eyes wide, he whipped his head around, searching for any sign of the girl. When he saw nothing, his mind went into overdrive.

Prompto’s surroundings became brighter and it became harder to stand on his own. His limbs tingled with a feeling he hadn’t felt in years -- and he hated it. He sank to the hard-packed ground, fingers curling inward unconsciously as the numb feeling spread throughout his body. His limbs felt like lead, and he wouldn’t have been able to move if he tried. He tried to speak, but found that -- like with his limbs -- the muscle had turned to lead. Fuck, he couldn’t even feel it against the inside of his cheek anymore. Unknown to him, his teeth had started to work on his cheek, and he only realized it when the coppery taste of blood landed on his numb tongue.

Prompto sat frozen as he gradually lost control over his body, and he couldn’t help but think:

Is this what it’s like to die? Being unable to move even a single finger? Being unable to speak even a single word?

“Prompto,” Noct’s voice pulled the blond from his musings, and he found that he could now move just a bit. Turning his head towards the prince, the blond couldn’t help the whimper that escaped his lips.

“She- she’s not--” His voice crackled and his tongue felt heavy once again. Noctis could only watch on helplessly as his first friend broke down in front of him. Prompto had always been so vibrant, so happy when they were in high school, so seeing him this disheartened was a new feeling for the prince -- and he didn’t like it.

“Are you sure she isn’t here?” Gladio’s brows furrowed as his amber eyes landed on a red trail not far from the downed creature. Prompto looked as well, and he was the first to notice the body leaning against the far wall of the crater. He jumped to his feet, regardless of the heaviness he felt in his limbs, and raced across the crater, skidding to a halt beside the girl.

“(Y/n)!”

(Y/n) sat huddled against the wall, the hand pressed to her right side stained red with blood. A pained smile was etched onto her face. Meanwhile her other hand clutched desperately to her dagger, giving the blond hope that she wasn’t yet too far gone to save. He crouched next to the girl, his hand coming in contact with her cheek. He hissed and recoiled; her skin was ice cold. Just how long has she been out here?! Shaking his head, Prompto pulled (Y/n) into his lap, hands rubbing up and down her arms in a feeble attempt to warm her up.

His cry had drawn in the other three, and their breaths collectively stopped at the sight that met their eyes. (Y/n) was situated in Prompto’s lap, the blond trying desperately to keep her alive, a look of pure pain decorating his face.

“Come on, come on, come on,” he chanted, hands gripping her forearms when she didn’t respond. The longer she was silent, the more Prompto’s heart broke until finally it was completely shattered. His upper body came to wrap protectively around hers, breath hitching when he didn’t feel hers on his cheek. The tears that had threatened to spill since last night finally fell, landing on her pale cheeks.

“I’m sorry, (Y/n). I’m so, so sorry…

“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you…”

A groan made its way to the blond’s ears, and his eyes shot open as the girl in his arms began to move. He heard her gasping for breath, and in an instant he had retrieved a hi-potion to heal her.

Seconds ticked by, each one feeling like a stone being piled atop Prompto’s shoulders until he would be crushed beneath them.

“Chickadee?” his voice was soft, as were the fingers caressing her cheek. Slowly, her eyes opened, revealing (e/c) that were clouded over with exhaustion.

“Prom? What are you doing here?” whereas his voice had been smooth, hers was raspy, as if she had been coughing for quite some time before he had found her. A sad smile came to the blond’s face.

“Hey there, chickadee,” he answered. Helping her sit up, he couldn’t help but notice the expression on her face. “What’s wrong, (Y/n)?”

“Why are you here, Prompto?” she whispered. Tucking her knees to her chest, she refused to look him in the eyes.

“I came to save my best friend, duh!”

The small flinch went unnoticed by the blond, but not by his companions. (Y/n) curled in on herself even more, resting her forehead against her knees.

“Of course… why else would you come find me?”

I guess I’ll only ever be a ‘friend’ to you, huh? I knew this, but … fuck, it still hurts. Why does it still hurt so bad? I knew that you’d never see me as more than a friend, but I still hoped… well, until now, I guess.

As Prompto went to sit in a more comfortable position next to the girl, she couldn’t help but mutter, “Thanks for your answer, Prom.”

“Hmm? Did ya say something, chickadee?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

At least... now I know...

“Well, either way, I’m just glad you’re safe,” he hummed, giving the girl a dazzling smile she couldn’t help but return.

“Yeah,” her voice small, she replied. “Me, too.”

Oaths and Hearts - Ignis Scentia/Reader

So this is a crossover between FFXV and Dragon Inquisition. 

You fell through a rift into the fade fighting the demons you swore to protect your world from. When you popped out you were no longer in the lands of Ferelden instead trapped in Insomnia. The gracious king allowed you to say recognizing power when he saw it. One thing led to another and now you were part of the procession of the prince to his wedding years later. Before the final battle, after years of fighting, losses, and love...your friend...your king...Noctis has asked you to change it all...

You stared down at the streets of Altissia…No one was even aware of what was about to happen. Just you…sent far, far from home and loved ones, all in the name of keeping the light alive.

You, of course, had additional objectives. You sighed shutting your eyes reflecting back to the moments before the boys took off for Insomnia to reclaim it.

“Y/N…” You looked over to Noctis already dressed in his royal uniform, “can I have a moment of your time?”

“Of course, your majesty.” You smirked a little as he guided away from the camper toward the converted restaurant, “You’ve aged well, by the way.”

He let out a soft chuckle watching to you take a seat on a crate, “I can say the same for you…your daughter is beautiful.”

“She is.” You smiled looking over toward the camper. You let out a chuckle as Prompto chased Ellie around before she ran to her father climbing into his lap laughing as he summoned his dagger, pointing at it Prompto, who quickly surrendered, “She’s going be so impressed when she can see the world in light. She most excited about the flowers. Ignis always tells her about the gardens of the palace.”

“What if she could be born into that light you both tell her about?” Your eyes shifted to Noctis’ face. His eyes held a great sadness and an edge, “Would you be willing to do something to make that happen?”

“Noctis…” Your eyes narrowed on him, “What are you…”

“I learned a lot…waiting inside the crystal. I learned that you fell from a different world entirely and you always held back the entire time you were with us, until Ardyn took you.” He frowned looking down to the ring on his hand, “You did that to help me…I saw that too…”

You wrapped your arms around yourself staring at him, “You knew some of that already. You don’t forget someone dropping into the royal courtyard through a rift…”

“No you don’t…or how you protected my father day…” He smiled a little before wiping it away, “I…will cut right to it. I know you can save Luna. You have the gift of kings, but you’re not tied to me or anything here.”

“What…” You stood up staring at him confused.

“If you save her…if you push Ardyn away and through a rift…cast a shield over Altissia…”

“Noctis…” You began shaking your head as you turned form him, “What you’re suggesting…”

“Will give me more time with the woman I love.” He interrupted you raising an arm pointing it toward the camper, “Will let Ignis see his daughter’s face when she’s born in the sunlight…and save countless more by giving me the proper time to get our gods blessings and the weapons of the kings.”

“You want me to change what already has happened…” You turned facing him, “Noctis…it can’t be done.”

“It can.” He stepped close to you, “It can be done, but at a great price…”

“Y/N?” Your eyes snapped open seeing the warm streets of Altissia again. You looked over to who was calling you and smiled seeing Ignis approaching you, “There you are, is everything alright? You’re not having another headache, are you?”

“Everything is fine.” You stared up into his eyes, “No headaches.”

“Good. You had me worried there for a moment.” His eyes were bright with concern as he looked you over, “Sharp pains in the skull with a bloody nose generally do not bode well. I appreciate you allowing a doctor to examine you when we arrived at Caem.”

“It was a good idea. Can’t be too cautious.” You smiled at him wishing to run your fingers through his hair, but you weren’t that familiar yet, “I appreciate you caring enough to get me looked at.”

“Well…it was the next logical step.” He pulled his glasses off looking at them before he wiped them down.

“Where are the children?” You asked as you both started down the stairs, “Not causing too much trouble are they?”

He let out a small laugh, “Well they’re not fighting anything or infiltrating any bases at the moment, so good.”

“Good…” You repeated brushing your hair behind your ears, it was so much shorter than you were use to, “It will be nice to relax for a moment. I’m happy we made it here ahead of schedule, despite the fact that Lady Lunafreya is still alluding us.”

“But she is safe, which has put Noct at ease.”  Ignis nodded absently, “I hope he enjoys the reprieve, even if it’s only for a moment.”

“Us too.” You glanced at him seeing him pull at his collar a little, “Ignis, is something wrong?”

“Wrong? No…” He said took quickly, “no nothing is the matter.”

“Are you certain?” You moved in front of him walking backwards gaining his full attention, “Because if there’s something on your mind?”

He stared at you for a moment as if considering everything in front of him before he spoke, “It’s nothing that can’t wait.”

“Alright…” You turned away from him heading for the gondola.

“Hey Y/N!” You stopped abruptly when you heard Noct’s voice. He looked so young and less burdened, “Do you have a minute? I could use your help with something.”

“My help?” The last time he’d asked you for helped in this time, it involved pranking Prompto.

“Don’t freak out, it’s not like last time.” He smirked a little putting his hands on his hips, I want to get a gift for Luna, and I thought maybe you could give me some advice.”

“Why?” You tilted your head a little, “I’ve never met her.”

“No…but you both are alike.” He smiled a little.

“Well…knowing who you’re speaking about, I take that as the highest form of compliment.” You smiled at him, “I’d be happy to help you.”

“Ignis, you mind tagging along too? You tend to have a practical outlook on these things.” Noct looked at ��him as you began to walk off with him.

“I suppose, it wouldn’t hurt making sure you don’t spend all of our supply money.” Ignis followed behind the pair down the street.

This was different. You knew there would be some changes. You had persuaded…manipulated…the group to arriving to Altissia early. Knowing the needed upgrades for the royal yacht helped immensely.

“So what are you thinking?” You asked as they stepped into a jewelry shop.

“I don’t know…” Noct shrugged a little as he leaned over a case of rings, “I mean she has a ring for me…that belongs to our family…so I thought maybe I should get her one for the wedding.”

You looked at Noct curiously, “Is…that what you do for marriages? Exchange jewelry?”

“Yeah, usually rings. You don’t do that where you’re from?” The prince asked as Ignis moved around you to inspect what the prince was looking at.

“No, no not really.” You watched the Noct raised his eyebrows interested, “Well that’s not true…rings were a royal thing…More commonly was a knot or braid turned into a bracelet…or necklace. Usually made to whatever the wearer preferred.”

“Huh…interesting, is there a reason why you do that? And do you have a preference?” Noct rattled off.

“Noct!” You looked over to Ignis whose ears were red, “That’s a bit intrusive.”

“It’s alright.” You smiled at him before looking down at the glittering jewels, “I prefer bracelets. I was a leader of a rebel force; necklaces could be used against me in a bad way. A bracelet can be seen, and most people don’t try to strangle you with them.”

“Doesn’t a ring do the same thing?” Noct picked one up after the shop keeper pulled out a row.

“Yes…it’s also easily lost…and not very comfortable when wielding a staff. If I were to get a ring it wouldn’t be anything like this.” You plucked the glittery piece out of his fingers, “It would have only been a simple band of brass or silver. Jewels were a luxury item.”

Noct smirked as you slipped it on your finger holding out your hand, “But you do like it, don’t you?”

You smirked glancing at him, but your eyes found Ignis who was carefully listening, “It’s hard to pass up shiny trinkets…If someone were to get me something like…”

Noct smiled as you pulled out a small gold band with a triset of diamonds as you went on, “…this…I could not refuse it.”

“It’s very pretty…but…Luna is more into silver.” Noct took the ring from you putting it back.

You rolled your eyes, “I guess we’re not as much a like as you said.”

“No, no…you are.” He smirked at you, “She’s not really into the glamour of everything…Just need to change the colour. Like this one.”

You giggled as he held up one similar to the one you chose, but in a white gold band. Your eyes trickled toward Ignis who’s eyes were on you, “Just like that one.”

One transaction later all three of you were walking out of the shop. Noct smiled at you, “Thank you, Y/N, I think she’ll like it.”

“Once you get her favorite flowers, I think you’re right.” You smiled back at him, “I’m happy to serve my king.”

He stopped in the street looking at you, “Y-you mean that?”

You stared at him a moment before standing up straight putting arm across your chest like you’d seen the three Crowns Guard do many times, “I may not be a true citizen of this world…your country…or your city, but I would proudly call you my king.”

Noct glanced over to Ignis when you bowed. He swallowed before putting a hand on your shoulder getting you to stand again, “Thank you, Y/N…I would be honored to have you be a part of my guard.”

“NOCT!” The small moment was broken up as Prompto came running over, “You have to come check this out! It’s so cool!”

“I’ll babysit, don’t worry.” Gladio patted Ignis on the back.

“You sure?” Ignis raised his eyebrows with concern.

“Yeah…score us a place to sleep. Meet up at Magho’s for dinner?” Gladio pointed at you and Ignis.

“I suppose…” Ignis wasn’t given the opportunity to finish answering, “Well then…”

You watched him adjust his coat for a moment before turning away longing to take his hand in yours, “I think I saw a hotel back where we started…if we take the gondola we can probably get there faster than walking.”

“It seems that way.” Ignis stepped close to you as a group of people passed by pushing him closer, “Sorry…”

You looked up at him when he leaned in placing his arm above your head, “I don’t mind…”

His eyes twinkled looking down into yours, “Perhaps we could tour the city for a while first, if you’re up to it?”

You swallowed looking at him, “Ignis…”

This was so hard. A week ago, you could grab hold of him kiss him until he was breathless before he warned you to calm down. A week ago, he’d hold you so tightly that you were sure no force could separate you. A week ago…

“No.”

“Ignis…” You watched as he stood up from his chair faster than he should have. You knew he was going to get lost, “I know that this is…”

“Insanity!” He shook his head getting my frustrated by the second, “No…worse…you get sent away and nothing changes. Noctis will still have to sacrifice himself and I will have lost you…the mother of my daughter…of my future child…”

You stepped up to him taking his hand pressing it against your stomach, “This will be again…Ellie will be again…In the sun, Ignis…”

“You can’t be certain.” He whispered letting his other hand slink up to your face, “You can’t know…”

“…you don’t know if you’ll come back either…” He scowled attempting to move away from you, but in his frustration, he ran into the couch. You frowned as he let out a yell, “Ignis…stop…”

“I will not risk losing you!”  He shouted not turning around for fear of looking foolish and not facing you, “I can’t…”

You stepped up behind him wrapping your arms around his chest, “And I don’t want to lose you either…when this works…”

“If…”

“When this works…” You continued resting your head against his back, “…I’ll be doing more then just helping Luna and Noctis…”

“I’ve made my peace, Y/N…” He sighed putting his hand over yours, “I’ve said that…”

“I know, but…I know how hard it’s been…how it is still.” You took a deep breath before leaning up on your toes kissing his neck, “I just want you to be happy.”

“I am.” He frowned finally turning around sitting on the back of the couch. His hands found your face, “I am so, so very happy.”

“But you won’t stay…” Your lip trembled when he pressed his forehead against yours.

“I have sworn an oath to my king.” He told you firmly.

You nudged his nose with yours, “So have I.”

“Y/N?” You focused on his lips as he spoke your name again. His hands came to rest on yours which were gripping onto his jacket, “What’s wrong?”

“Kiss me…” You whispered. You watched his eyes get wide as you stepped closer to him. The deliciousness of seeing him like this was almost too much...but it was out there for him to respond to. Now you just waited.

[labyrinthofleah]

So... *puts lawn chair down and sits in it* tell us *leans forward, elbows on knees, hands folded in front of my mouth* about the OC children you have with Robbie and how you envision their relationships with their significant others? *pushes glasses up, then whips popcorn out of nowhere and munches*

OC kid relationships under the cut!

Alvise: After he is no longer first in line to be King, he takes a long break to just... not have to be anyone but himself. And figure out who that is without the crushing pressure of the crown. He eventually becomes a teacher. I haven’t figured out what subject, but he’ll be good at it because he gets really into trying to make the lessons interesting and fun.

While he’s studying for that, he frequents a cafe, and becomes close to a barista, tentatively named Jupiter, who’s an ex-professional ballerina after an injury. 

They have a very honest, mutually-supportive, loving relationship and they’re honestly probably the healthiest couple of my OC kids.

Felice: oh boy.

Well, he and Annie, @autorhythmicity‘s OC adopted daughter, grew up together and were childhood friends. They are also kind of polar opposites. Felice is gifted at charm and witty wordplay for instance, while Annie... is gifted at constantly shoving her foot in her own mouth due to insecurities/temper issues. 

Felice takes over the role of Crown Prince when he sees how the pressure is destroying Alvise, who is not cut out for it and doesn’t want it. This means, of course, that he will be King of Altaria one day.

At this point, he and Annie have been dating for a while. They are madly in love, and despite having clashing personalities they have a reasonably good relationship.

Then Felice tells her he’s going to be King someday in place of his older brother.

And he proposes.

And she freezes up at the prospect of being Queen if she marries him, then dumps him in the harshest way. Not because she doesn’t love him, not because she doesn’t want to marry him, but because she very much acts on her emotions, and her emotions about being jointly responsible for a country were very negative at that point in time.

After a couple of years, they eventually get back together, and they do eventually marry and have a happy marriage. But it takes a LOT of work on both sides to reestablish their relationship, especially one where they’re both on the same page for once. It’s not easy, but they’re a stronger couple for working through it together.

Giada: The responsible one, who Roberto sometimes jokes was “born old.” She’s not a robot or stick-in-the-mud, but... I guess she’s just closer to Alberto in temperament/work ethic? lmao. She eventually gets together with @and-beastly‘s OC son Mitch (one of Lynn’s kids with Alberto). They’re an old-fashioned, romantic couple who do sweet things like leave love notes around the house for each other.

Luna: The baby of the family. She goes through a rebellious adolescence, but grows up and becomes very aware of the advantages her status offers her in contrast to others. She starts doing a lot of humanitarian work. On one trip, she meets this really big, buff, extremely jaded guy named uh...

crap I never named him.

ANYWAY Buff Cynic Man is wary of what she’ll be willing to do for the humanitarian organization he works for. She surprises him by diving right in and asking a ton of questions and not being afraid to do anything with the rest of the organization workers in their day-to-day work. She is extremely tiny, but she doesn’t let that stop her. 

She wins Buff Cynic Man’s respect, they have a good friendship/coworker thing going on. Then she asks him out. And they become a couple somehow. I still need to work on that a bit. XD;;

Afternoon Gifts (3)

 This one actually has ya know, baby in it. Whoo.

Noctis huffs, laying naked and spread on their bed as Prompto makes a low humming noise in agreement, head pillowed on the slight softness of his husbands stomach.

“Everytime…”

“Dunno what to tell you, the face you make is too hot Noct.”

They end up like this whenever Noctis tries to have a serious conversation with Prompto, not that he’s upset by it. There’s a lot of sex in their marriage and that’s...really fuckin’ great. It’s just slightly inconvenient whenever they have time constraints, but for once there’s nothing pressing so it’s just them, lying together trying to gather their fleeting thoughts.

“So...you gonna tell me?”

Prompto sighs, and lazily allows his head to roll so he’s looking at Noctis, or, well, Noctis’ chin anyways.

“Do I have too?”

There’s no answer but the mild vibration that Prompto feels under his cheek is an answer anyways, Noctis’ sighs always mean yes.

“It’s so dumb Noct. I want you to have a baby, I want us to have a family. Now’s maybe not the best time but if it’s what I get, it’s what I’ll take. I just...you and Iris and your kid. No one would ever think twice, they’d know in a heartbeat there was none of me there, you know? I want to be part of this and….fuck it’s so dumb. I just really can’t stop imagining this little blonde kid.”

Noctis is silent, carding a hand through Prompto’s hair as he thinks, because he’s imagined it too. He remembers vividly the little boy in his mind and he groans.

“Me too Prom, me too. But we’ve gotta do our part first and then maybe later…”

Prompto clears his throat, “It’s...I can’t. I can’t have a kid, ever. I mean, I probably can, my bits work obviously, but the gene’s from the experiments might pass and they could be really terrible for a baby, so no using the baby gravy for me!”

Noctis doesn’t grace that with words, just swats him lightly and hums in thought.

“You might not have to worry about it, Iris might not even been able to have my kid. Then problem solved, no heirs. I’ve looked over the full list enough times...I don’t have anyone else to ask. Just her.”

Prompto pushes himself up a bit in the midst of their overlarge bed and looks down quizzically, watching the way Noctis’ expression changes.

“ So what’d we do?”

He can see that Noctis is relieved at the idea of not having to face fatherhood just yet but there’s still disappointment there as well. Prompto can understand, objectively it’s all terrifying but they both love kids.

Grey eyes dart to the side as Noctis licks his lips, uncertain. Prompto doesn’t push, he knows better by now, just waits.

“What if we go to the orphanage? There’s a ton of kids, Lucian and Nif who need families right?”

Prompto tamps down the immediate burst of excitement he feels because he was a lost Nif kid once too, and he wanted nothing more growing up than to rescue someone else too. Maybe, he thinks, looking at his husband, Noctis is on his way to earning the Prince Charming title this week.

  They wait until the end of the month, after Iris learns more about the shot and they get back bloodwork. She opts to get it, for herself if nothing else, but looking deeper her chances of conception with Noctis’ are surprisingly low. It would mean nothing but...Prompto’s so excited about potential adoption and Noctis doesn’t want to tell him no.

He’s also more excited than he’s willing to admit, the thought of skipping the pregnancy parts and getting to have a child of their own, someone they’re helping to reach better things too...it’s a lot.

“So, when do you want to go for a consulting thing?”

Noctis pushes his noodles around, picking out a snowpea as he thinks and studiously ignoring Ignis’ glare. It’s a loaded question, with adoption on the table (after so much fuckin’ research Ignis thought he was going to explode), the timetable has been moved forward very, very fast.  

“Let’s go for the first visit tomorrow, we’ve got the time and it’s not like we can’t take our time from there.”

Prompto nods, even as Ignis sighs and he can feel Gladio’s eyeroll even though he’s not looking at the man. It doesn’t matter though, Noctis is eating slowly again and his face is soft. Prompto feels an odd fluttering in his stomach, not just nerves from the knowledge he may meet a child he will call his own, but the way that Noctis seems to be taking the whole thing.

He bumps their feet together under the table and Noctis returns the motion with a light rub of his foot. His father is absent from this meal, but that’s alright, Prompto can already see Ignis viciously texting information, likely to the king.

“We need to tell Luna, whatever we do.”

Noctis nods at that, she and Nyx, after all, are their closest friends outside of Gladio and Iggy.

“Hey...I love you.”

Noctis smiles and leans to the side in his chair, casual as ever, and kisses his neck, making Prompto flush prettily. He feels the Prince nuzzling into his skin and tilts his head to give Noctis the space he needs, it’s rare that they get so physical when the others are around but it feels nice.

Ignis sighs delicately and Gladiolus snorts, drawing a glare from Noctis as he pulls away, “I thought you’d be pleased?”

Gladio shrugs, “Hey, what can I say, it’d started growing on me. Uncle Gladio.”

Prompto laughs, he can’t help it as it tugs from his chest and he shakes his head even as Noctis huffs, “You’ll still be an Uncle, just less direct.”

That gets a soft sort of pleased smile from the big man and an eyebrow raise from Ignis even as Noctis tosses his napkin at the advisor, much to the man’s chagrin.

“Yeah, you too specs. Can’t have a kid running around without a full family.”

Family. The thought of them all with a set of small feet around makes Prompto’s chest fill with warmth and he relaxes more, taking a sip of his water and looking at the men with him. Tomorrow then.

 It’s a cool day and the children are inside a gymnasium playing a game that appears to be some hybrid of dodgeball and...well something. It looks a lot friendlier than any dodgeball game Prompto’s ever taken part in but he can still see some kids on the edges. They’re all much older than the baby he keeps imagining and he can see Noctis shares the thought.

“I feel bad...like we should be thinking about them more.”

Noctis hums, “Yeah...I’ll talk with dad when we get home, maybe there’s something we can do to help them find homes?”

Prompto nods, glancing back at the room, even as they continue down the hall until the sounds of play fade. The area they’re in now is less like a school and more plain with a few rooms. He and Noctis are lead into one where a couple of people sit, volunteers no doubt, holding infants.

They’d spoken with the overseer earlier and been informed that there were several very young children currently there and they were free to spend some time with them.

Prompto squeezes his husbands hand and steps closer to a young woman holding a carefully swathed babe. Lightly tanned skin and, Prompto smiles, a few freckles already evident on small round cheeks, a bit of brown hair greet him and he holds his arms out asking.

The woman smiles and carefully transfers the sleeping little one, watching Prompto carefully and she helps him arrange himself better. He stands still for a moment and then, remembering the movies he’s seen, bounces very slightly, watching the small eyelids flutter.

“This is Illyria. She’s a little gem but you can’t take her away from her brother too long.”

Prompto nods absently, his focus solely on the sleeping little girl curled in his arms and he smiles softly as her little mouth opens and she shifts a bit.

Across the room Noctis has found her twin brother, a little boy a touch paler, still freckled, his hair coming in a bit darker. He’s awake and cooing quietly at the dark haired Prince, holding his finger and looking at him with clear blue eyes.

“He likes you highness. Little dear, but you said you were looking for one child...Azreal here has a twin sister, it looks like Prince Prompto’s found her.”

Noctis looks up at the older gentlemen and then too Prompto, watching him holding the little girl. He takes a deep breath in and shrugs.

“It’s not like we’re deciding anything today. We just wanted to meet them, you know. Feel it out...may I?” He gestures to Azreal and the man nods, moving to trade him places and allow Noctis to sit before allowing him to hold the small boy.

Noctis likes children well enough but he’s not around them often and he’s glad that babies are not talkative creatures. He simply stares at the little boy, letting him hold his finger again. He’s cute and looks a bit like Prompto but still...a child isn’t like getting a pet

Noctis swallows hard, the weight of it settling a little further. A little life will be changed, whatever he and Prompto decide. He looks back to his love, to find Prompto’s looking at him too and smiling a little, though as their eyes meet, concern is reflected there.

How are they ever supposed to do this?

In his arms the boy wriggles and his nose scrunches, a little whimper leaving him. Noctis immediately starts to feel panicky, he doesn’t know what to do if he cries. The man who is helping him gestures Prompto over quickly and the blonde Prince complies.

The little girl in his arms is woken as he moves quickly and she fusses a little at him but he coos at her enough to calm her down, following the gestures of the man until he’s kneeling next to Noctis with her, the two babes closer to each other.

Azreal calms a little at her presence and Noctis sighs in relief, relaxing a little.

From the doorway Ignis observes them, adjusting his glasses and calculating. Yes, he thinks, looking at the Prince’s, dark and light, bent over two tiny bundles, they’re going to need another crib.

-Regis,

It appears your son is not done being challenging. Twins, and they’ve already got Prompto suckered in.

without janus, carina probably wouldn’t have ever confessed tbh

riley/janus

the persistent one vs the stubborn one

riley is afraid of getting hurt so he shoves janus aside at the beginning

but janus is persistent and knocks down riley’s walls

btw - janus breaks riley’s heart...

yongho couldn’t really leave aries behind?? like aries was the only person he’s been with seriously

and like, he’s seen aries at his SOFT moments when he wasn’t being struck...

aries changed for the better and went to ask yongho to give him a second chance uvu

they both needed the time to heal and come to terms with themselves

aldus/johnny

idek how to really describe this

julian/briggs

merlin was a douche

told briggs to teach julian emotions and social etiquette

and told julian to teach briggs how to shoot

bonded over the fact that they hate their new ‘mission’

intak/shinwoo/jun

poly!!

stared with just jun and intak’s denseness / refusal for emotions

actually, the entire thread that started it was v cute and i loved it

intak’s slow discovery that maybe it’s okay to open up to jun and shinwoo

so he’s this emotional and vulnerable person with them???

but also like...he’s discovering all these new things

so like a kid in an amusement park, his eyes just sparkles whenever jun and shinwoo brings him to places he’s never been

PrompTio: What are Noct and the other’s thoughts on their relationship?

Okay, so I’m gonna write this assuming they get interested in each other around the Brotherhood era.

I definitely think Noctis would be totally shocked at first, mostly due to Gladio being his Shield and trainer and all that, especially due to the competitiveness between them. He’d initially feel like a shard of ice had sliced his soul, just, completely hurt and in disbelief that Gladio (a person who he doesn’t yet see as having much depth to his character) had taken the attention of his best friend away from him. But that phase wouldn’t last very long, because he cares so deeply about Prompto that the instant he realise Prom really has the hots for Gladdy, he’s just want to do anything for Prom to be happy. He’s selfless like that. And then after a while he’d see how soft Gladio is, especially around Prom, and he’d really condone the relationship. I think there would of course be a bit of sadness there, in an unrequited sort of way, because Noctis really likes Prompto, but he also knows he has duties, to the Crown and to Luna, so he knows it would be unfair to act upon any feelings he has (and honestly, he probably won’t even let himself admit he has feelings for him in *that* way). He wants what’s best for his friends.Ignis would also be shocked at first, but initially in the opposite way to Noct. He previously thought Prompto was harmless enough, just too much a crude commoner for Noct. But after realising Prom is a.) into men and b.) wants to get together with Gladio he starts to see him as something of a bad influence for Noctis. And, furthermore, he knows that Gladio likes the boy, and worries that knowledge of any ensuing relationship would damage Gladio’s public standing as the Shield of the future King. There’s also the fact that Ignis knows the most about Prom’s immigrant status and Gralean ties (he’s an advisor at many court meetings, so he’d know a lot more than he lets on). He tries, subtly, to make his feelings known, but at the same time Prom is so lovely and practically impossible to shun from the group. Ignis becomes quite endeared to him. Ignis is a true romantic at heart, and he does want to see their relationship go well, so his focus will shift towards protecting the two of them (and his strategic mind starts to enjoy this challenge, in a way), although it takes him a bit longer to get to this stage than it did for Noct.

Iris would think it’s all awfully cute. She loves hanging out with Prompto, and has never seen him as a love interest because she’s so damn interested in Noct (and in a kind of self-indulgent way she’s secretly happy they’ve paired off as it leaves Noct a bit more available to her, despite her knowing his arranged marriage to Luna would never make it work between them). But she thinks Prom is super fun, and she’s figured from Gladio at home that he digs him too, and she finds a delicious fangirlish enjoyment in pushing them both closer together. She’s totally supportive from Day One.

Cindy would have figured it out from the first moment she met Prom and he was overwhelmingly focussed on pointing out how attractive he thought she was. ‘He’s gotta be coverin’ for somethin’, right?’ And she thinks he’s an adorable dork. She thinks matching the technologically-minded Prompto with the hardworking beefcake Gladio makes for a perfect duo - out of everyone in the Prince’s entourage, the two of them are both the most similar to herself (mechanics and muscle), and she approves, in short.

Clarus would be incredibly concerned. He wouldn’t approve. But he also wouldn’t consider himself in a position to recommend Prompto be removed from the entourage group prior to them setting off. He’s too much of an obeisant soldier.

Ardyn would pick up on it a fucking mile away. He’d use it to his complete and total advantage - to mess with Prompto in Gralea, to mess with Gladio’s insecurities over not being strong enough to protect those he loves, to mess with Noctis’s feelings of unrequited love, to stress Ignis out as he tries to come up with a strategy to stop the relationship being a weak political link.

Cor, who is way more of a father figure to Prompto than his actual adoptive father, would be initially concerned for Prompto. He knows Prom has issues with being distracted, he’s trained him with weaponry enough to know this is a personal issue of his. And Gladio is one BIG distraction. Cor thinks it would have been better for Prompto to just have a one-night-stand or relationship with some random dude in the clubs he frequents, rather than the one guy he’s going to end up having to travel with as part of Noctis’s entourage. He also feels partly responsible for Prompto being gay, even wondering at times if his own macho identity and presence as a highly masculine father figure had influenced Prompto in his choice of partner. Prom has not had any strong female figures in life, and Cor knows it isn’t bad to be gay, but he… worries far too much. He knows Prom is attractive and cute and, despite his strength, the boy is still pretty innocent and he worries about people taking advantage.Therefore, Cor is happy it’s Gladio, the child of his friend Clarus, and a decent, protective and strong-willed person. Of all people, Cor ends up reasoning, it’s probably a great thing that Prompto ended up with Gladio.

Prompto’s adoptive parents don’t even care, honestly. They think he’s broken anyways. They just want the benefits for taking in a Niflheim baby, they don’t want anything to do with his life. God, that hurts to write, but that’s honestly how I feel they’d react. Just another thing to avoid mentioning at cocktail parties.

Book Review: Cress by Marissa Meyer

“Maybe there isn’t such a thing as fate. Maybe it’s just the opportunities we’re given, and what we do with them. I’m beginning to think that maybe great, epic romances don’t just happen. We have to make them ourselves.”

So I finished this book like 3 days ago, but I didn't feel ready for making my review. I was beyond excited and I didn't want to babble about it. So I waited and finally my brain is ready for this. And all that he says is: I FREAKING LOVE IT. Yup. The excitement didn't fade away. I'm madly, deeply and unconditionally in love with this book, with the whole series.

“Even in the future, there are damsels in distress”

In this third book in Marissa Meyer's bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they're plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and prevent her army from invading Earth.

Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl trapped on a satellite since childhood who's only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she's being forced to work for Queen Levana, and she's just received orders to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.

When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is splintered. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a higher price than she'd ever expected. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai, especially the cyborg mechanic. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

“Wow, when you research, you really research, don't you?”

We saw pretty little of Cress back in the first book, all that we knew was that she used to be a spy for the queen and that she was trapped in a satellite. We knew nothing about her in Scarlet and finally we get to meet her in this one. She has been trapped in the satellite for almost 7 years and all that she knows about Earth she learned it online. She has never seen our planet and she is scared of lunars. Cress is really sweet and full of curiosity and joy, she always wants to see the good in everyone and the positive part of every situation. She is one of those people that you can't avoid liking and trying to protect. She also has this huge crush on Thorne and she was always blushing and a little bit distracted sometimes.

“Captain,” she murmured. “I think I’m in love with you.” An eyebrow shot up. She counted six beats of his heart before, suddenly, he laughed. “Don’t tell me it took you two whole days to realize that. I must be losing my touch.”

Thorne in the other hand, well he is Flynn Rider, he is arrogant, egocentric and truly charming. He would add handsome, intelligent, bold and much more, so let’s just say that he is pretty confident. But he is also a loyal friend and it doesn't matter how long it takes him he would always go back to them and he would make the best he can to protect his beloved. I love them both and I love them together. I won't say more about them or their relationship because that's spoilers, so you'll have to read the book. ;)

“You said yourself that the people of Luna need a revolutionary.” She lifted her chin, holding his gaze. “So I’m going to Luna, and I’m going to start a revolution.”

In the other side we can see that Cinder is sure about what she wants and what she knows she has to do. She really evolved since the last book and all that transition was really awesome. She is not the cliché character that once she discovers who she is knows exactly what to do and has all the skills for it. She was lost, she was confused and she first looked for answers, now that she has them she knows what to do and how, but she also has to practice and get a lot of bruises in the process. She is scared but she also knows that she can't do it all alone and that is refreshing. I'm a little bit tired of all those protagonists that think that they can do it all alone. So yep, she is still my hero.

“Have you given any thought to your wedding vows?” Kai snorted. “Delete anything that has to do with love, respect, or joy, and I’ll sign on the dotted line.”

Prince Kai, my favorite prince in the whole world. He grew up so much since the last book. Right now he has to face a wedding with Levana, and intergalactic war and also his feelings for Cinder, that let’s be honest, everything is pretty messed up. He knows that Levanna won’t stop at anything for getting have what she wants and he has to find a way to keep everyone safe. He is turning into an awesome leader, taking these difficult decisions cold minded, doing the whole research and trying to find Leanna’s blinds spot, he is making strategy, ruling a country and he is also a teen in love. He has this big charge in his shoulders and he is trying to do the best. Also he stopped in being confused about Cinder, now that he has analyzed the whole situation and has all the details of what really happened, he knows the truth about Cinder, and that leads him to take this wonderful decision, not just for Cinder, but for everyone.

“Not doing pictures these days?" Jacin muttered as they hurried through the shop. "How very Lunar of you." Cinder glared against the sudden, burning sunlight. "Very wanted criminal of me too.”

We also get to “meet” two more characters, that honestly I was expecting till the next book. Jacin and Winter, my new otp. Jacin is a really cold minded character, he analyzed everything and use the situation in his favor. We also know that he would do everything for Winter, even when that isn’t the best for the rest of the world. But that’s just a glimpse of him, I’m pretty sure that he is more complex than that. And of course Winter, we see something about her at the ending of the book, and I honestly don’t know what to think about her. she is weird but more brilliant than she wants the rest of the world to know. So I’m really intrigued.

I can't talk much about Scarlet and Wolf because of spoilers, but now both of them are facing awful things. I can guarantee you that Wolf is gonna break your heart and that Scarlet is gonna blow your mind. That’s all I’m gonna say.

The writing is improving, the characters are better and the plot twists are breathtaking.

These books just grow better and better each time and I can't wait to see what's going to happen in Winter.

Totally love it.

5 amazingly awesomazing freakintastic stars!

❤️Promptis please! (See I can do it to lol)

YES, MY FF OTP!! 8D And... Probably the only FF15 pairing that is actively ship and like haha. I’ve been thinking of many possible situations  with these two lately. One thing before answering, I know Lunafreya and Noctis are canonically engaged and deeply care for one another. But my personal headcanon is that they love each other platonic only, they DEEPLY care for one another and would seriously give their lives to save one another, but they do not feel for each other romantically. They were after all engaged to one another when they were only kids, who knows, maybe even from the day they were born. You can be happy in those kind of marriages, but do not necessarily love one another romantically. Because of this Noct and Luna are fine with each other having a partner outside of their marriage.

Dating:

Where was their first official date? Most likely in the valley near the meteor. It’s a perfect spot for fishing, photos and just relaxing. However, I can also see them riding their chocobos around the end of it. Now I know that they’ve known each other for a very long time, but I like to think that they didn’t get serious until at least the events of FF15.

What is their favorite date location? I feel like it would be Lestallum. It has very nice locations to hang out, some good restaurants and overall and good looking view.

How many dates before their first kiss? At least ten, Noctis needs his time and space. Prompto will not force him into doing things he doesn’t like. Noctis was the one to kiss Prompto actually.

Who asked who out first? Prompto asked Noctis. Noctis is not the kind of person to ask people out.

How many dates before they considered each other a couple? Most likely after their first kiss.

Friends:

How many mutual friends do they have? Two or three I believe. Ignis and Gladiolus of course. And then there is Cindy who I pretty much consider their friend as well at this point.

Which one of their friends is most likely to get in between an argument between the ship? Gladiolus, I mean, he already gets between people arguing in the game, so it’s pretty obvious he would as well if they were to argue.

Which one has more friends? I personally think Prompto. Prompto is the kind of person to just talk with random people and make friends easily. Where Noctis just stands by most of the time.

Which one has introduced the other to more people? Noctis, he introduced Prompto to Gladiolus, Ignis, Lunafreya, his dad and probably even more people.

Did they start out as friends and made their way to a couple, or were they a couple almost right away? They definitely started out as friends first and were friends for at least a couple of years before finally starting to date. I guess we could say that love formed in unhappy times.

Arguments:

What do they argue about the most? Prompto would most likely argue with Noctis that he doesn’t care too much and could show some more emotion at times. Noctis would probably argue about things he disagrees with.

How do they usually solve their disagreements? They talk it out, look for ways to improve and if that doesn’t work, they distance themselves for a few hours before making up again.

Do they argue a lot or not very often? Not too often.

Who admits to being wrong more often? Prompto. Noctis, doesn’t always feel like it.

Sex:

Who is more likely to initiate sex? Prompto.

Do they prefer to do it in a bed, or do they prefer a chair, or perhaps the shower? I think they’d prefer to do it in bed, Prompto would maybe try different spots like the couch of in the shower, but Noctis will not always agree with it.

Maybe other spots? In their tent or in a lake? Only if Noct feels like it though.

Do they practice any kind of bdsm in the bedroom at all and if so, what kinds? Not at all.

Who’s usually more dominant in the bedroom? Prompto, but sometimes they take turns.

Lights on or off? They most likely use candles for a more intimate atmosphere, so somewhere in between.

Do they share any kinks? I can see Prompto liking water sports (aka sex in the water) and talking Noctis into it. 

Does either one have any kinks that they don’t have in common with the other? No.

Have they ever had sex anywhere public before? No. They only do it when there are no people around.

Who would be most likely to suggest bringing in a third person and who would that person be? Prompto would most likely ask to bring Cindy in. Prompto kind of likes Cindy as well... But, Cindy sees him more as a friend and is more interested in cars haha. Noctis is fine with Prompto having fun outside of their relationship (heck, he is engaged himself) but wouldn’t want to have sex with two people at once. Prompto was most likely a bit disappointed haha.

Cuddling:

When are they most likely to cuddle? Around the campfire after a busy day, in the car, in bed or on the couch.

Where is their favorite place to cuddle? Around the campfire, it’s warm, cozy and a good place to cuddle up against someone.

Who’s usually the big spoon? Noctis surprisingly is.

Do they cuddle often? They actually do! They cuddle at least every time they go camping.

Marriage:

Are they married? If not, is it something that could happen between them? They’re not married and most likely never will, it’s a bit difficult with Noctis already being engaged. Noctis would most likely try to find a way that would allow Prompto to live with him and Luna as well.

If they are married, where did they get married at? If not married, what is their dream wedding location? If they were to get married their dream location wouldn’t really be a location, it would be traveling around the country on chocobos.

If married, who proposed to who? If not married, who would be more likely to propose to who? Noctis would. Prompto will not propose to Noctis, knowing he is already engaged, he feels that this choice is up to Noct.

If they are married, which one moved in with the other? If not married, who would be more likely to move in with the other? Prompto would definitely move in with Noctis. But even if Noctis were to become a king someday and move into the castle, he’d still like to travel often if he knew his people would be fine without him for a while. Besides, Lunafreya wouldn’t mind taking over some of the work.

Children:

Do they have kids? If not, would they consider having kids? Depending on how events turn out they do eventually have one kid. I personally headcanon Prompto as trans, so having kids naturally isn’t too much of a problem. If the canon ending didn’t happen Luna, Noctis and Prompto eventually move together and Noctis and Prompto have one child, a little girl. If the canon ending happened, there is a change that something might have happened on accident and Prompto ended up as a single parent in the end.

How many kids do they have? If no kids, how many kids would they want to have? Prompto would definitely want two or three children. Noctis wouldn’t want kids at all at first even if he knows the Lucis bloodline will have to continue. Luna and Prompto were most likely eventually able to talk him into a compromise, which is having only one child. Noctis doesn’t regret the decision and loves his daughter to pieces.

What are the children’s names?  If no kids, what would they name their kids? I’m going to take my time and think of a proper name now. xD She’d most likely be named Spera (which means Hope), Lilium (which means Lily) or Bellatrix (which is a star and means Warrior). Not too sure, I’m still looking for a nice meaning that I can translate into a Latin name.

Random:

What are three random headcannons you have about the ship that are not related to romance or sex? - They LOVE chocobos and would most likely start a chocobo farm after all the events.- Besides photography Prompto really love knitting and will repair everyone’s clothes whenever there is a hole in it. He will also make clothes for them.- They favorite holiday location is the beach, they can hang out there almost the entire time.

Which one is more likely to suggest getting pets? Prompto, he suggested going to the chocobo farm in the game as well and pets his bird all the time. He really would love to get a  pet.

Which one eats more snack foods? Naminé, she loves to try all kinds of stuff and has a sweet tooth! Even if Xion loves ice-cream… She eats also very healthy.

What is their favorite movie to watch together? I don’t think they like watching TV that much, but if it comes down to it, something with adventure and action like Indiana Jones.

What is their favorite tabletop game to play together? Monopoly. Prompto mostly wins.

What are your three absolute favorite things about this ship? 1. They balance each other perfectly.2. They have a very healthy relationship already as friends.3. Their colour palettes omfg.

What is one thing you don’t like about this ship? The fact that they would logically never be able to end up together because Noctis is a prince who is already engaged to a princess.

If you had to rate this ship on a scale of 1-10, what would you give it? 10+++++ omfg

Fleeting Beauty Ending 1

Fleeting Beauty Ending 1

I really didn't feel like writing two completely different chapters for the first and second ending, so they’ll have the same build up for the most part but will split off in different directions pretty early on. Also, I’m modelling Prompto’s anxiety attack off of what I’ve experienced in the past, just so ya know...

ya should probably read this beforehand, so ya know what going on...

Ending 1

WC: 1580

TW: angst, character death, panic attacks

Waiting for the sun to rise the next morning was utter torture for the blond. He couldn’t help but beat himself up over the fact that one of his best friends had disappeared without him noticing.

Maybe if I hadn’t been so busy trying to impress Cindy, then--

Prompto’s thoughts were cut short when he was blinded by the sun creeping over the horizon. He hadn’t slept at all that night, his mind not once shutting off. It was like it was trying to make the blond marksman feel guilty about the past few weeks. After all, he had been the one to beg with Noctis and the king to let (Y/n) join them on their journey.

As soon as the sun hit his eyes, Prompto was jumping to his feet, going to wake the others.

“Iggy, come on! Wake up!” he ordered, shaking the tactician by the shoulders. It didn’t take too much to wake him -- he was a light sleeper -- but it still felt too slow to Prompto. He wanted -- no, needed -- to find (Y/n), and the quicker the better.

Ignis said nothing as he rose, then promptly went to wake Noctis while Prompto woke Gladio. After what felt like hours -- Ignis insisted that they all eat something before they leave on their search -- the group of four trekked across the deserts of Leide. Their first stop -- the Bandersnatch behind Hammerhead.

***

Prompto was moving with a speed the others had never seen before, not even in training. It was heartbreaking, really; the blond had been so preoccupied with his own interests that he hadn’t realized just how much (Y/n) meant to him until it was possibly too late. All of the boys had seen the way she looked at him, except for him. And their hearts felt for the young woman.

Noctis, while also being in love with someone, didn’t have to worry about said person not feeling the same way. He and Luna had held feelings for one another way before this arranged marriage.

Gladio, well... He would recognize the look in (Y/n)’s eyes even if he was blind: it wasn’t one of familial love, like what he shared with Iris, and the love the small girl held for Prompto went far beyond that of a caring friend. Fuck, Gladio had felt that same kind of love a few times before, back when he was a teenager.

And Ignis? He made it a point to keep an eye on all of his comrades, so it was rare that anything slipped past him. He had been the first to notice the longing in (Y/n)’s gaze when she would watch her best friend, and his suspicions had only been confirmed when she had put herself between Prompto and an MT instead of going to protect Noctis, who had been indisposed. But he could never hold it against her; she was Prompto’s childhood friend, after all, and she hadn’t made an oath to protect the prince with her life like the others had. And besides, he and Gladio had gone to protect Noctis in her stead.

And now, as they followed after Prompto, just barely keeping up with him in his frenzied state, all they felt was a sense of dread. As they crested the ridge, their eyes were met with a horrific scene.

The bandersnatch lay in the small water source in the crater, the water turned red with blood. It was unsure whether it was the creatures or (Y/n)’s, and that sent Prompto into a panic once more. The blond jumped into the crater, his legs carrying him across the desolate earth until he came to a stop at the monster’s body. Eyes wide, he whipped his head around, searching for any sign of the girl. When he saw nothing, his mind went into overdrive.

Prompto’s surroundings became brighter and it became harder to stand on his own. His limbs tingled with a feeling he hadn’t felt in years -- and he hated it. He sank to the hard-packed ground, fingers curling inward unconsciously as the numb feeling spread throughout his body. His limbs felt like lead, and he wouldn’t have been able to move if he tried. He tried to speak, but found that -- like with his limbs -- the muscle had turned to lead. Fuck, he couldn’t even feel it against the inside of his cheek anymore. Unknown to him, his teeth had started to work on his cheek, and he only realized it when the coppery taste of blood landed on his numb tongue.

Prompto sat frozen as he gradually lost control over his body, and he couldn’t help but think:

Is this what it’s like to die? Being unable to move even a single finger? Being unable to speak even a single word?

“Prompto,” Noct’s voice pulled the blond from his musings, and he found that he could now move just a bit. Turning his head towards the prince, the blond couldn’t help the whimper that escaped his lips.

“She- she’s not--” His voice crackled and his tongue felt heavy once again. Noctis could only watch on helplessly as his first friend broke down in front of him. Prompto had always been so vibrant, so happy when they were in high school, so seeing him this disheartened was a new feeling for the prince -- and he didn’t like it.

“I know, Prompto,” Noct whispered, a hand coming to clasp his friend's shoulder. His fingers dug into the material of the blond’s vest as a pained expression flitted across his face. What am I supposed to--

“Prompto, if she is not here, then that doesn’t mean she isn’t alive,” Ignis interrupted, and the blond’s head whipped up and blue eyes met green. “We must continue on with the search. She might need our help.”

Unable to speak, Prompto only nodded, and Gladio helped him stand, pulling him up by the arm.

“You good, kid?” the shield inquired, his hand not once leaving the marksman’s upper arm. Gladio would never admit it to the others, but he was afraid that the blond would fall again if he were to let go. Again, Prompto nodded. For a few seconds, his eyes were trained on the ground as his teeth pulled at his bottom lip.

“Alright, let’s go.”

***

If they had thought the Bandersnatch had been mutilated beyond recognition, then the behemoth was no more than shredded paper once (Y/n) had finished it off. Ribbons of flesh were strewn around the area and dangled from the building's ruins like streamers at a party. Blood splattered the walls and ground surrounding the dead beast, and the first thing Prompto was able to focus on was (Y/n)’s dagger sticking out of the behemoth’s left eye. Unlike he and the others, she wasn’t able to summon her weapons from the Armiger, so she always had various projectiles on her -- like that dagger.

Prompto stood in front of the beast’s head before he even realized he had moved, a gloved hand coming to caress the intricate dagger. Even now, encased to the hilt in an eye, it gleamed in the early morning sun. It was as if it were mocking him, punishing him for taking his eyes off of her. Fingers touched the cool metal, and when Prompto drew his hand back, they were stained red.

Panic set in shortly after, to the point where he almost had another panic attack. It was only due to the efforts of Ignis and Gladio that he didn’t collapse for a second time that morning, and instead he chose to survey the area.

“She-she’s gotta be here!” he ground out, eyes wide and hands shaking. Blue orbs scanned the battlefield until they landed on a small path of red leading away from the behemoth. Without a second’s hesitation, Prompto kicked off the ground, following after the trail until he came to a hidden corner of a destroyed building. Straining, his eyes barely picked up on the small body nestled snugly against the wall. He approached the prone figure, but as he drew closer he felt his heart leap into his throat.

“(Y/n)!”

(Y/n) sat huddled against the wall, the hand pressed to her right side stained red with blood. A pained smile was etched onto her face. He crouched next to the girl, his hand coming in contact with her cheek. He hissed and recoiled; her skin was ice cold. Just how long has she been out here?! Shaking his head, Prompto pulled (Y/n) into his lap, hands rubbing up and down her arms in a feeble attempt to warm her up.

His cry had drawn in the other three, and their breaths collectively stopped at the sight that met their eyes. (Y/n) was situated in Prompto’s lap, the blond trying desperately to keep her alive, a look of pure pain decorating his face.

“Come on, come on, come on,” he chanted, hands gripping her forearms when she didn’t respond. The longer she was silent, the more Prompto’s heart broke until finally it was completely shattered. His upper body came to wrap protectively around hers, breath hitching when he didn’t feel hers on his cheek. The tears that had threatened to spill since last night finally fell, landing on her pale cheeks.

“I’m sorry, (Y/n). I’m so, so sorry…

“I love you, chickadee. I’m so sorry I couldn’t protect you…”
