Day 6: Halcyon no warnings. spoilers for endwalker a bit. word count 905
“Do you believe one can still dream if they no longer need sleep, Watcher?” 
The Watcher with his faded white robed form looks up from his latest crystal of recordings. “I don’t think I understand, Shepherd?”
Anthea runs a hand through their near colorless hair, its length near the middle of their back, something that it hadn’t been since trying to fit in at secondary school in Amaurot, frowning at the last remaining dark teal on the ends that would vanish should they give in to comfort and cut it short once more. “I fear that having no physical form anymore will mean I no longer dream, only the physical body needs sleep after all.”
“You have many of your memories recorded though. It will be no trouble to recall any of your halcyon days.”
It is true they have many of their memories recorded, many of Elidibus’, and the musical memories of Emet-Selch, there should be no need to worry and yet….
It would be so much easier if they did not still have vivid dreams of their beloved. Dreams where they can feel his skin once more, hear his laughter, and see his violet eyes sparkle when he smiles. Dreams that made their chest ache when they awoke to this constant night and no longer themselves. In their dreams they could once again be Anthea, their beloved could be Hythlodaeus once more, Emet-Selch would be Hades, and they would know where Deimos is. Their family would be whole and happy….
“You are right, forgive me for disturbing you.” 
The Watcher looks back down at their work with falling shoulders, the only indication he feels sympathy and wants to help with his lack of facial features, before walking to the shelf of trinkets Anthea’s made over the years. He pulls down the radio, shuffling to hand it to them, “Here. Listening to it among the stars always seems to lighten your mood, Shepherd.” They can hear the change in pitch he’s developed to say he’s giving some kind of smile, If only I had known you more before all this Watcher, you wouldn’t have to indicate a smile, I would just know.
Anthea knows it won’t help this time, still they take the radio with a simple thanks and small smile, opting to walk among the fields of white. A ghost among the living dead, they find their favorite cliff to sit and look down at the remaining world of old and the new world that they will never know in this lifetime. Fresh footprints help in pretending that one of their old friends sits with them as they contemplate if it is worth it to finally give up this form. 
This body hadn’t been Anthea since Emet-Selch asked them to take up the seat of Halmarut, hundreds of lifetimes ago. They’ve only grown out their hair this long thinking that so long as the teal remained they could still be that person they were, but there was no going back.
Time only moved forward
Their grey hair was proof of that. 
The loss of Themis’ memories was proof of that. 
Their old friend’s sagging shoulders proof of that.
Changes among stasis, forever proof that time only ever moved forward.
So maybe it was time to move forward. To acknowledge that the past will be staying in the past. To accept that they were no longer Anthea, the former Creationist of Elpis who tended a garden and never once thought about golden days ending. 
They hold the image of scissors and bring them forth out of thin air. Sharp and gleaming in the borrowed sunlight. 
They would never again be Anthea
They collect their long hair in one hand, taking a deep breath as they position the scissors.
they would move forward and embrace the new title. They will find peace among the sorrow
Three closures of the scissors against their hair and for a moment they are weightless.
and help those that were still stuck in stasis find the strength to move onward. 
They let the scissors vanish and bring their chopped off hair in front of them, letting a few tears fall. Tears of mourning and tears of revelation. “Is this who you were hoping I would find beloved? Were you always able to see the person I am now?” They feel the start of a small breeze that begins to loosen their grip. “This person that no longer fears moving outside of what they once knew, even if it will still take some time to fully relinquish dreams of escapism. To let them turn into memories that will bring joys and reminders on the days I give in to the stasis.” Their hand opens fully, letting the breeze take the strands of hair and scatter them among the moon. “But I promise you I will get there. And in the meantime I will help others learn how to move onward in life, like you once did for me.” They look up at the stars, bringing their knees to their chest, listening to the wind, “Believe and walk in faith. Let the light of your soul shine for all to see. Let it guide others as you have guided me.”, his final wish for them. 
“I am the Shepherd of lost and wandering souls, and I hope that when the time is right, beloved, you will see the person you helped create.”

“And could love free me from the shadows? Can a bird sing only the song it knows, or can it learn a new song?”
-Angela Carter, The Bloody Chamber
And here we have an embodiment of the universes where Anthea gets a wonderful bird daughter named Meteion and it is the cutest thing in the world to see even the endings where the world almost ends. Thank you so so so so much @delicateweapon for bringing this idea to life! It is immaculate and so pretty that I am just constantly staring at it since I got it! Just look at that shiny gold detail! The Shadows! My Thea's soft small smile! The bird! Just all of it! I love it so much! If you ever get a chance to work with her please do because clearly you can see the talent Nika has! I also would love to thank my dear dear friend and bestie @belorage for gifting me this piece from Nika. Kate I love you to pieces and am so undeserving of you as a friend! Truly words cannot express how grateful and lucky I am to have you in my life, thank you so much for your friendship and kindness!

Anthea and Conner both have gardens! Anthea's is bigger though and they have two of them.
There's the garden that they started in childhood that's at their childhood home in Elpis and it's pretty self sustaining to where they can go a few times a year to do maintenance and it be fine. And it's open to other researchers and those that live there to take some of the fruit and veggies that grow there and pick a few flowers. It was the biggest hesitation factor in them leaving to live in Amaurot full time with Hyth, especially since it was still an apartment they were living in, so there wasn't a ton of room for plants. But they did leave and live full time in Amaurot and for a special occasion, Hyth surprised them with getting a brownstone house with a backyard and more room inside for indoor plants. While it was still small compared to the one in Elpis, it was enough to make Thea happy and have a nice herb, flower, and some smaller fruit garden.
Conner lives in an apartment and doesn't have as extensive of a garden as Anthea, but has a lot of house plants and a herb garden near the kitchen. Conner would only consider the herbs and the little balcony a garden, but Elidibus would beg to differ and say that no, his whole apartment is a garden. But you walk in and its a very nice smelling home.
Which OC has a garden?

Oh man thank you @mimble-sparklepudding for sending this my way! Out of my ancients only two have creations that are canon and significant. Pandaemonium spoilers a bit under the cut for Deimos.
I’ll start with Anthea. Their most significant creation is the Elpis flower and it really was as Hermes said a happy accident, which if you’ve played through endwalker know how it ties into the story and interacts with the WoL. It was the flower that prompted Hythlodaeus and Anthea to meet and the original one created stayed in his office throughout the years and it was those seeds from which Venat let free on the winds of eytheris just before the sundering. To Anthea though it was one of their failures as no one ever could figure out how it changed color nor built anything off of it, it was only ever studied. It only became a kind of positive thing while on the moon because it did hold good memories and was the start of such memories, but they did not see it ever in person until Sib shows them at Hyth’s request as a “Thank you” (really it was to show his love for them after all these years and a way to apologize for making them feel abandoned) for them watching over the souls trapped in Zodiark all that time. It was Anthea that told Sib “In my day they were called Elpis flowers. Pray remember that name, for a flower like that should keep its connection to its origin.”. The second thing they created on accident was the Venus flytraps, now I can’t remember what they’re called in game but they are found in the Cloudtop area of the game. However Anthea has many creations attributed to them as many built off ideas they sent to archive rather than be studied because they didn’t come out the way they wanted them too, basically they’re listed as a source in a paper among many others kind of deal.
Deimos aka Azem has a few creations under his belt that are seen in game. Deimos though always had a thing for the monstrous so you tend to fight them when you see them. The first one encountered is Titan and was one of his first creations while under the title Azem, he’s very fond of it and relied on its control of the earth to save many over the years (yes including the infamous island of grapes). The next is the Proto-Carbuncle in the Pandaemonium raids (circle 5). That was his contribution to the pets world as he found the carby we know and love in game not as cute and made his version, which wasn’t as cute to everyone else. He was studying under Lahabrea at the time and it is why it is found still in Pandaemonium, he also goes to check up on them frequently even after becoming Azem. The most recent thing created that you fight is the final boss in the 7.1 msq dungeon, which I won’t spoil but once you see it you’ll understand just why it would be something Deimos created. So in terms of living creations those are the ones found in game so far, he is also responsible for making a few mammets, well two with one being assumed was him. The first was the Hyth mammet made when he and Anthea were dating but not able to see each other often and Deimos didn’t like seeing his new friend sad, so he created the little mammet to keep Thea company (and to mess with Hyth a little knowing there’s a mini him out in the world). The mammet did not move with Anthea to Amaurot but stayed in their childhood home watching and maintaining it to the best of his little ability. The second being the Erichthonios one because he wanted Elidibus to have a souvenir of his adventure and figured he missed his friend, however in visiting his carby the little guy got loose and ran off and Deimos wasn’t ever able to catch him so the little mammet lives in Pandaemonium now. And while he did not create it people assume that it was Deimos that made the little Themis one for Erich which if you’ve played the recent epilogue know isn’t true. But yeah that’s all of them!

Anthea had to witness the downfall and degradation of one of their best friends and of others they once knew. Watch and see the lengths they would go to in order to bring back the past. Helpless to getting through to any of them. Helpless as they heard the cries that would come from the souls within Zodiark with each rejoining that also called for freedom and peace. Hear the lament and worry that should the Ascian's succeed that they would have to once again witness the downfall of man and be almost helpless to stop any of it. They have a worse fate in the AUs where Anthea is an Ascian, having gone back to the past and being close to killing Hermes in front of the warrior and Hyth who knows its them despite the different face and in their despair give enough power for Meteion to run away to the edge of the universe with them where they then spend another 13k plus years in their despair and loneliness. Those same emotions that would give rise to the Final Days within the game that they wanted to never happen again.
trigger warning for passing mentions of abuse, suicide, and sexual assult
For Carly and Stasia its the murders and war crimes really. But Carly a bit more specifically murdered her mother because of how abusive she was, starving and beating her for starters, and had it not been for her finding the dark knight stone she would have killed herself in the ocean. While Stasia not wanting to find out just how old she can live for has ritualistically killed 3 young mages every decade or so about a decade after meeting Emet-Selch as a way to prolong her youth, beauty, and power fresh, for a bit more context she's been alive since the War of the Magi, about 3,000 years or so.
Siberite was gaslight her whole childhood in regards to her brother having ever existed after his death. On top of that Sib spent a lot of her teens and young adult years trying to find a suitor and not all were close in age to her. While her mother would have waited to actually marry her off to the older gentlemen, it didn't stop them from trying to make subtle passes at her. It thankfully never went anywhere past groping or the pressure for a single kiss it still left its mark on her. After that it was bearing witness to the world as it was having been sheltered and it was a bit of a shock for her to say the least. And the Final Days hitting her home of Thavnair first was a big thing!
Demos grew up and lived in the Shroud and bore witness to the after effects of the fall of Dalamud. Once with the Scions he then contends with the guilt that piles on from being unable to save an old friend, knowing that he was taking on the light for Sib and still being ineffective against her getting hurt, even thinking he himself is the problem at times, and the end of the world which also resulted in his soul twin's death.
Because I am a little hobgoblin and I love to read about peoples' OC's, I wanted to chuck out a random WoLQotD that I didn't want to use as a single ask for my drive: What, in your opinion, is the most horrific thing about your character's story? Is it who they are and how they treat the world? Is it where they came from; the wars, political divide, state of their family, etc. Is it the magic they wield/was it an event that defined them?
I love a little horror/angst in my worldbuilding, so I want to hear yours.

I never put much thought into Sib but if I am looking at the story overall as a whole she did an lb2 against ultima weapon in arr. It was the first show of strength for her beyond taking ifrit down and like she’s a woman that started at 0. She worked hard to get that far and it showed during that moment. For an lb3 it would have to be ShB against Hades in that last blow that eliminates the light from her. It is her all and again a culmination of knowing who she is and all the work she’s put into herself over the years.
For Demos it was first seen also in ShB in dps form when he escaped from the chains Hades put on him right after the Amaurot dungeon. Demos saw Sib go down and it just pushed him over the edge and he broke free to attack the old man. He has so far never needed to do a healer version of it but he also didn’t learn how to or that he even could until after EW (the lvl 80 whm quest). He knows he can do it but it hasn’t come to that point yet. Eventually I hope to find a time he can combine his dps and healing in an lb format but we shall see!
Anthea does one in their bad endings aus (ascian and Hermes ship where she leaves with Meteion) it does look a bit different than regular ast as it’s more of a protective shield and big heal than a resurrection. But in these aus it’s a projection of Anthea before their transformation into a boss of Ultima Thule, their true self that we all know and love. It would happen just before the death blow after there was a massive raid wide that would leave little time for healers to save against the blow. It would be the start of Anthea making peace with their grief and guilt and ending the fight before going off into the Aetherial sea.
Posted this on Twitter, but I'm gonna post this here too
A wolqtd I've been thinking about for a while, so I'm curious - when did your WoL/OC's first break past their limits? (activated Limit Break)
Putting my answer under here
To answer this myself, it depends on the universe. In just Kiyo's regular canon, it happened during the Dragonsong War when she was caught in a pretty dire situation with her brother and a good chunk of Ishgardian knights. Watching everyone falling all around her as they struggled to just survive against a force of dragons pushed her to her breaking point. After watching her own brother nearly die, that's when it finally broke
HOWEVER in my own "Haurchefant is totally alive" AU, it was of course after the events of the Vault. Seeing Haurchefant literally at death's door made her healing go beyond what it was capable of. She managed to bring him back at the cost of being unconscious for a few days
