WIP Wednesday!

Hello, hello! It’s me! I actually have something to share for WIP Wednesday this week, however if anyone’s noticed by now, my title isn’t in the usual blue text, that’s because it isn’t for Skyrim, the most I’ve written for my Skyrim stories over the last month has come from my Bad Things Happen Bingo Card or TES Summer Fest, so I’m sorry to say, I have nothing to share… but… I have been working on one of my stories recently - Guard and Glaive - my Final Fantasy 15 long fic. I’ve nearly finished the prologue and I’ve had several amazing ideas for much later in the story, so I thought I’d share something from that.

Thanks as always for the tag @thequeenofthewinter and I’m sorry it’s not my Skyrim stuff, I am trying to get back to it, but it’s just hard at the moment 💙🌸☺️

Violet made her way towards the dining car of the train to get a bottle of water, she was on edge, after Altissia she had been incredibly jumpy and the very thought of everything that happened made her stomach twist into knots, usually followed by a wave of nausea or dizziness.

As she got to the door that led to the dining car, Nyx stepped out, nearly crashing into her and causing Violet to flinch

“Oh! Astrals, Nyx, you made me jump” she let a little nervous laugh as she tried to compose herself once again

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to spook you, dear,” Nyx smiled, Violet frowned

“Dear?” She asked “what’s with that?” She instinctively took a step away from her lover, Nyx stepped closer

“Sorry, love, I didn’t think you’d mind that”

“It’s just… a bit old fashioned, it didn’t suit you” Violet’s stomach was churning, the spook Nyx had given her had triggered the nausea she’d been feeling all day to build, her discomfort must have been clear on her face, because Nyx reached over to her and held her arm, to stop her slight sway.

Again, sorry it’s not Skyrim, but I’m having a lot of fun working on this story at the moment

I’m going to tag… @oblivions-dawn @seradyn @savage-rhi @bostoniangirl21 @bougainvillea-and-saltwater @garbria @andywinter16 @awlwren and anyone else who wants to take part, as always no pressure to share something if you don’t want to ☺️💙

Nyx Week 2023… Day 3: Duty!

My story is going to be “semi-canon” some things will stay the same, somethings will definitely change, once all the prompts are written for Nyx Week I’ll be able to properly focus on my various long fics again ☺️💙

Also, thank you so much for the likes so far, these are my first OC x Character stories for FFXV (I’ve done plenty of stuff for other games and I have an Ardyn x Reader fic on the go too) so it means a lot to me that people are liking these little prompts 💙🌸

It was very rare for both the Kingsglaive and the Crownsguard to be on guard duty in the same place, but tonight was the exception. The night before the treaty was to be signed. It was predominantly a Glaive operation, but Cor, Violet, Monica and Dustin were also in attendance.

Nyx was standing by the large aquarium, eyes scanning over all the guests, after everything that had happened today, Nyx was hoping tonight would be quiet and uneventful. After a while his gaze fell on Violet, who was talking to Cor a few meters away from the King and Lord Sheild, Nyx couldn’t help but stare for a moment; she was wearing a sleek, backless, black dress and black stilettos which had the typical red soles of a Crownsguard agent, her hair was done up in a tight bun, revealing the tattoo she had of an eagle in flight on her back. She caught him staring and walked over.

“Anything to report, Ulric?” She asked, Nyx smiled briefly, she was always so formal when she was on duty

“Not at present, Lady Amicitia” he met her formality with his own, causing her to let out a light chuckle “it’s a shame we’re both on duty tonight, I’d have asked you for a dance otherwise” Nyx admitted, Violet smiled “you look beautiful.” Violet’s face flushed bright red at his compliment, but before she could thank him, both their ear pieces crackled into life

“Need I remind you both, that you are on duty?” Captain Drautos said, his tone was a combination of annoyed and amused, something the pair had heard from him quite often, they both looked over to where the Captain was stood, he smirked and rolled his eyes before retuning his focus to the party

“He’s right” Nyx said as he shifted back into his parade rest stance, giving Violet a nod “Lady Amicitia”

“As you were, Glaive Ulric”

WIP… Any Day Really 😆

Ok so in my absence over the last month or so I’ve been tagged by… @seradyn @miraakulous-cloud-district @oblivions-dawn @wispstalk and @thelavenderelf (I’m sorry if I’ve missed anyone, but these were the only ones I could find in my notifications) to share something for WIP Wednesday

As I’m still not quite back into full swing of writing after such a long time away, I’ll just give you a little update on each of my projects ☺️

💙 - Far Horizons & Ancient Stones - Chapter 26 is nearly finished for this, I have a vague idea of how to wrap it up, but it’s just finding the right words that is currently eluding me

🧡 - The Blood Prophecy - I’m working on developing my OC for this one currently, Kristof is a very complex character with a just as complicated background, and I think I need to have a timeline planned out for him, more so than I need for Jaina

❤️ - Tall Glass of Red Wine - Temporary hiatus on this I’m afraid, I want to work on it but I dug myself into a plot hole and I need to sort that out before I can continue

💜 - Guard & Glaive - Nearly finished the prologue for this and I have several small prompts on the go too

💚 - The Legacy of the Herald - Could possibly start sharing this soon 🤔 but not 100% sure yet as it’s still in its early stages

🤍 - Cosplay - I’m thinking of working on a couple of projects in my spare time, without a deadline

💖 - Baldur’s Gate 3 - As yet untitled but I am wanting to write a story for this, I want a Halsin/Tav story with her closest friends being Gale and Astarion! I have already started writing down dialogue from the game and planning possible conversations! It’s an incredibly fun game and it’s been inspiring me a lot ☺️

I’m going to tag… 🤔

@bougainvillea-and-saltwater @bostoniangirl21 @thequeenofthewinter and anyone else who want to share anything, but as always, no pressure to ☺️💙

[blossom-adventures]

☺️🌸

Thank you for the ask, my friend 💙

☺️ - Who is your favourite character to write in a certain story, that isn’t an OC? Titus Drautos! In both Guard & Glaive and A Tall Glass of Red Wine, I’ve just been loving writing him so much, his personality on the surface is pretty cold but underneath the stoic Captain there is a complicated man!

In G&G he’s a compassionate and caring man with a dry, quick sense of humour, and he absolutely adores my OC (Violet) and loves Cor so much! Im having so much fun writing him in G&G

And in ATGoRW he’s still got that caring element to the reader, in his own way but there is a darkness to him (for obvious reasons) and he tries to keep his distance but it’s sometimes really hard for him to do! I have plans for him and the reader in the future for this story

🌸 - Share a snippet from a Fic or WIP… Well… if I must 😉 have something I’ve been working on from Guard & Glaive

Violet followed Ravus through the twisting corridors of Zegnautus Keep, almost being dragged by the former Niflheim Commander

“We need to keep moving! If He finds us He’ll…”

“Now, now Commander,” Ardyn’s voice echoed over the speaker system within the building, “what could I possibly do to you, when I’m having so much fun with the Prince’s advisor” the speaker echoed again as Ardyn laughed, “oh! And, dear” he practically purred the phrase, making Violet’s skin crawl. “You might not want to find me, because once I’m finished with the advisor, I’ll move onto the Shield and Glaive that are making their way from the other side of the Keep, and I won’t be so nice as I was with you.” The speakers then went quiet, leaving an eerie silence in the corridors.

Ravus looked over at Violet, who was trembling slightly and her face was pale. He reached for her hand again, she flinched slightly as she felt the contact

“Violet, focus… he’s just saying these things to scare you, we need to find your friends, and fast” Violet swallowed and took a couple of deep breaths before nodding to him and they continued at a brisk pace deeper into the Keep.

Nyx Week 2023… Day 7: When We First Met

Thank you @calling4glaives for organising Nyx Week! As the final day was a free day I thought I’d share the first time that my OC - Violet Amicitia - and Nyx met, thanks again and I look forward to the next one! ☺️💙🌸

The Glaive had strict training schedules; in the mornings, they would train as a group, focusing on their combat skills, after lunch was magic, then after a couple of hours they were sent off. The Captain encouraged them to train further, either in the gym, or a run around the perimeter of the Glaive HQ but he didn’t force it onto his soldiers. When the first recruits from Galahd had joined, Drautos had said that his Captain would run them to the ground to a point they’d pass out from exhaustion, he didn’t want to follow that example. Although most did train extra after a long day, it was never to a point they’d make themselves ill.

Nyx had just dressed after a quick shower - he and Luche had just finished 3 laps of the HQ perimeter - and began to make his way out the building when he passed the outdoor training arena, where her could hear wooden weapons clashing.

He leaned through the doorway to see where the noise was coming from, and who was training so late. To Nyx’s surprise, it was the Captain parrying blows from a young woman, no, a girl, clearly still a teenager, it wasn’t someone Nyx had seen before either. Nyx stepped out to the edge of the arena, catching sight of the girl’s school coat and backpack piled up at the side.

The Captain and the girl were so focused on their training that neither of them saw Nyx standing there at first

“Better!” Drautos praised as they finished this round of strikes, “you’re getting there, you’ll be knocking your brother down in no time” he added as he reached over and ruffled her hair with a smile on his face. Nyx couldn’t believe what he was seeing, the Captain was smiling!

“Oh… umm, Titus” the girl nodded towards Nyx, Titus! She was on first name terms with the Captain?

“Ulric, what are you doing here?” The Captain’s usual expression was back as he looked at Nyx

“I was… just leaving when I heard you both in here, is she a relative of yours?” Nyx asked

“She’s not,” Drautos sighed as he waved Nyx over “might as well introduce you both, Nyx, this is Violet Amicitia, the Lord Shields eldest daughter, Violet, this is Nyx Ulric, one of my Glaive” Violet smiled as she shook hands with Nyx.

“I’m sorry I interrupted your training, Lady Amicitia, I wasn’t expecting to see anyone in here”

“You weren’t interrupting,” Drautos spoke, “just had a text, Violet, the Marshal is waiting outside to take you to the Citadel”

“Oh! Is it that time already?” Violet ran over to get her bag and coat then returned to the Captain, Nyx could have sworn she went to kiss him on the cheek, but she stopped herself. “I’ll see you tomorrow Ti… I mean, Captain Drautos,”

“Take care Violet.” As she ran to the door she looked over her shoulder and waved

“Nice to meet you Nyx!”

“And you”

Once Violet was gone, Nyx turned to the Captain

“So… how do you know the Amicitia’s well enough to be on first name terms with their daughter?”

“I’m a family friend” Nyx laughed, “what? Don’t think I’m capable of having high ranking friends?”

“Don’t think you’re capable of having friends, Sir” Nyx said with a playful smirk, earning a sharp elbow to the ribs, knocking the air from his lungs

“You’re lucky I don’t give out punishment for snarky comments, Ulric”

[blossom-adventures]

Nyx Week 2023… Day One: Blades!

For a little context about my OC you can find it here ☺️

Violet arrived at the Kingsglaive training facility and walked into the building, her intention was to find the Captain, after all she was here to drop off some reports to him from the Marshal.

When he wasn’t found in his office, she wandered the facility for a little bit, she could have called him, she knew he always had his phone on him, but instead she made her way to the training grounds, passing the armoury as she went.

“You lost Crownsguard?” A voice called, she turned around to see Nyx, who smiled when he realised ho it really was, “oh, Lady Amicitia, if you’re hoping to see Drautos then you’ve just missed him” Nyx leant against the wall and unsheathed one of his Kukris and began to absentmindedly clean the blade. “One of the new recruits landed wrong after a warp so the Captain’s took them to hospital, he won’t be long” Violet acknowledged that she had heard him but her eyes stayed focused on his blade. “You alright?”

“Hmmm? Oh yes, sorry, I was just admiring your blade, I’m trying to work out what the two fangs on the end of the hilt belong to”

“Oh, they’re from a Coeurl”

“A Coeurl? Wow… can I have a closer look? I’ve never seen a Coeurl, are they native to Galahd?” Nyx hummed a confirmation and gave Violet a smile before tossing the blade, catching it in his hand by the blade, allowing him to hand it to her, hilt first. “It’s heavier than I expected it to be” Violet said as she took the blade.

“What do you train with, Lady Amicitia?”

“Long swords or katanas, I train with Cor a lot, or Captain Drautos, I don’t think I’d be able to wield the type of swords my father and brother use, they’re too heavy for me, my father has commissioned my own sword to be made, it should be ready soon” Violet looked at the blade, “what’s this little mark, here?” She asked as she pointed to a small shield that was etched into the metal

“Oh, that’s the mark of my clan, my family crest, that blade is one of the few things I have from Galahd” Violet gave him a soft smile

“Thank you for sharing that with me, this blade must mean a lot to you”

“It does” Nyx said as Violet handed the blade back to him

Kingsglaive Legends 2023! Organised by @calling4glaives

Day 3: Training (Feat. Nyx & Drautos)

It was the hottest day of the year, the height of summer, the training grounds in the Citadel were exposed to the full sun at this time of day. Captain Drautos had called off training when he saw how the Glaive were struggling, he let them go home, and they did just that, all but one.

Nyx sprinted through the obstacle course, throwing his dagger and warping to it, his face was covered in sweat and his legs felt like they were ready to give up from under him, but he couldn’t stop, he needed to get stronger, if he wanted to protect his home and protect his people, he needed to keep training, even in these conditions.

As he finished the course, for the fourth time, his legs wobbled, and his stomach churned, he leant forward, taking in deep gulps of air as he prepared to go round for the 5th time.

“Ulric!” Nyx spun around and stood to attention in response to the Captains voice behind him, expecting to see the Captain in his usual uniform, but surprisingly he wasn’t wearing it; instead he was wearing formal trousers and suede shoes, and a dark red, button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up revealing his forearms, which were adorned in intricate woven leather bands of various colours. “I didn’t think I’d have to order anyone to stop training today, Ulric” Drautos said as he approached, he summoned a bottle of cold water into his hand, from the Armiger granted to him by King Regis, and handed it to Nyx. “Don’t kill yourself out here, Nyx.”

“I need to get quicker, I let you down in the last mission, if I had been faster, then…”

“You didn’t let me down, and you did nothing wrong, Hero,” Drautos put his hand on Nyx’s shoulder. “Everyone survived, with only one injury in the whole group, I call that a pretty successful mission, in my experience”

“But… but we didn’t achieve our main goal?”

“Do you think I care? You all survived, that is a success for me, now, stop training in this heat. I’ve got no problem with you training in the gym, but if I find out you’ve stayed out here after I’ve left, I’ll put you on desk or gate duty for a month, am I clear?”

“Yes Sir”

“Good,” the Captain checked his phone, “right, my ride is here, see you tomorrow” he clapped Nyx on the shoulder and turned to leave, just as Violet Amicitia came into the training yard “heading to the gym, Violet?” He asked as he walked up to the 18 year old

“Yeah, going to work on weights today” Drautos gave her a smile and whispered something to her, as he walked off she shouted after him “enjoy your date, Titus!” She picked up her small gym bag and walked over to Nyx “hi, Nyx!”

“The Captain has a date?!”

“Oh don’t sound so surprised, he has a life outside the Citadel, you know” Violet laughed, “are you still training? Or are you done for the day?”

“I don’t know yet, why?”

“I was just wondering, because I was going to do some weight training, but everyone who I usually ask to be a spotter for me is busy, I understand if you want to head home but… if your free?”

“Sure, I can help you” Violet smiled brightly

“Thanks” she walked past Nyx, across the training yard, with him catching up with her a moment later “I might try for a personal best now that I have you helping me”

[blossom-adventures]

I asked my family to pick a number from my @badthingshappenbingo list, my Brother-in-law picked I’m Not Afraid of You Anymore

So here it is, from my FFXV story, Guard and Glaive

Ruins of Insomnia

Violet led Luna through the back alleyways of Insomnia, trying to avoid the destruction being caused by both sides; the war ships of Niflheim and their Daemons and the Lucian Old Wall were destroying what was left of her home

“We’ll meet with the others on the edge of the city” Violet spoke surprisingly calm, despite everything that was happening around her, she looked over her shoulder to the Oracle. “Please tell me you still have the Ring?”

“I do, Lady Amicitia do you even know where we’re going?” Violet raised a brow at Luna before pointing over to the far side of Insomnia

“We need to get to the West Gate, from there we can meet up with the others and get out of Insomnia” from where the 2 women were stood they could see the West Gate, but it was miles away and between them and their escape was a battle between The Mystic and a Daemon that Violet had heard getting called a Diamond Weapon. Violet looked at Luna, her eyes were wide with fear as she looked over the expanse of Insomnia they had to cross. “Right… Princess, we need to get moving” Luna refocused and agreed with Violet.

Violet and Luna began to make their way through the ruins of Insomnia, dodging falling rubble, and avoiding the Daemons. As they got to a clearing that used to be a apartment block a tall armoured figure landed in front of them, essentially blocking their path, Violet moved in front of Luna as General Glauca stalked towards them, she summoned her sword into her hand.

“Another Shield to break,” Glauca’s voice sounded smug as he approached, “the city is in ruin, the King is dead, as is his Shield…” Violet took a trembling gasp, being reminded of the horrific sight she’d arrived to in the council room where the treaty was being signed, she looked up at the General, his swagger was just how it was when she was last left alone with him, she felt her chest tighten in fear, but her fear was overwhelmed by her anger, he had caused her so much pain, he had killed her father, her uncle and so many of her friends. “You are, once again, at my mercy”

“I’m not afraid of you anymore, Glauca” Violet snapped

“Then you’re a fool,” Glauca pointed his sword at the 2 women, “surrender the Ring”

“No!” Violet hissed, gripping her sword tightly in her hand and moving to a defensive stance in front of Luna

“Then I will take it from you!” Glauca snarled as he lunged towards Violet and Luna, everything seemed to go in slow motion for Violet as she watched the giant sword begin to swing down towards her, she was going to try and block it with her own blade, but she knew she wasn’t strong enough to hold it back, she was injured from the initial attack and he was seemingly unharmed and far stronger than her anyway.

Violet could hear Luna scream behind her but her focus was on Glauca.

“Join the King and his Shield!” He shouted as his sword crashed against Violet’s or at least, that’s what she expected to happen, but instead it struck a magical barrier. Violet looked to her right and saw Nyx drop his shield and fire a powerful lightning spell at the General, throwing him backwards. Nyx looked over to Violet and Luna.

“Are you both alright?” Violet didn’t answer, but instead hugged him tightly, Nyx returned the embrace “Violet are you alright?”

“Yes… yes, I’m ok”

“Good,” Nyx stepped back. “You both need to get out of here, I’ll deal with Glauca” Violet kissed him before ushering Luna away, she shared a knowing look with Nyx, she didn’t want to admit what they both knew; that this might be the last time they’ll see each other.

“I love you, Violet, stay safe, please”

“I love you too, Nyx”

[blossom-adventures]

Nyx Week 2023… Day 5: Sunset!

This is a little longer than my last few, I mentioned on day 3 that my story will be “semi-canon” one of the major points being that Nyx survives the events of Kingsglaive, as is shown in this next prompt ☺️💙

Hammerhead had finally fallen quiet after the chaos of the morning. People were still finding their way to the outpost and were being seen to by the few survivors of the Guard and Glaive.

Nyx had climbed up onto the roof of the Diner to get away for an hour or two. The death of hundreds - maybe even thousands - of civilians, as well as the King and Lord Shield and the treachery from within the Glaive itself weighed heavily on him. He had lost so much. But not as much as some, he thought as he watched Violet step out of the trailer at the edge of the car park, how she had managed to put on a brave face for so long, Nyx would never know.

She saw him sitting on the edge of the roof and made her way to join him.

“It’s getting late, Nyx,” she said as she approached him “it’s going to be safer on the ground” she continued as she sat down to his left. “Your arm should be in a sling” she muttered as she picked up the discarded fabric

“Why? It’s not like I can feel it” Nyx huffed

“Not at all?” Nyx responded with a shake of his head “may I?” He nodded to her, Violet gently took his left hand and held it in both of hers. The Ring of the Lucii had heavily scarred and withered his left arm all the way up to the shoulder, and would have likely spread further if Violet and Lunafreya hadn’t got to him when they did, the damage had left his arm completely numb and immobile.

“I can’t even feel your touch” Nyx admitted quietly, his voice trembling slightly, Violet remained quiet for a while as she closed Nyx’s fingers around her right hand.

“Hopefully the feeling will return, in time, and then we can start working on getting it back to how it was” Nyx forced a small smile at her optimism, he continued to watch her gently hold his hand, her thumb was stroking across his knuckles, not that he could feel it.

He finally looked away from his hand to look out over the desert instead, the sun was starting to set, causing the sky to shift to various shades of red and orange. Yesterdays sunset brought with it death and destruction, todays was quiet and peaceful, despite everything.

The colours in the sky slowly shifted from reds and oranges, to pinks and purples as the sun disappeared below the horizon, the lights around Hammerhead began to turn on as the darkness started to take over. And with the setting of the sun came the cold breeze and the sounds of Daemons echoing across Leide.

Nyx looked down to Violet who, at some point, had rested her head on his shoulder, she looked up at him once she’d felt him move.

“We should head down, see if Cor needs help with anything” Violet nodded and helped Nyx get his arm back into its sling before they got to their feet. Once they began walking towards the stairs, Nyx took hold of Violets hand and gave it a squeeze

[blossom-adventures]

Not sure if I'm from the fandom your "Guard and Glaive" work is from, but the name really caught my eye! I'd love to hear more of it nonetheless! 😄

I don’t think you are in the fandom for this one, it’s Final Fantasy 15, but I’d be more than happy to talk about it ☺️

Sorry if it comes off to some as a little patronising but I want to explain this fic to people who are not in the fandom 💙

My OC is twin sister to one of the games main characters - Gladio Amicitia - her name is Violet she’s 6 foot tall (her whole family is pretty tall) with the same dark brown hair and amber eyes that her brother and younger sister - Iris - have. She lives in the Lucian capital city of Insomnia, with her siblings and her father - Clarus.

Her story revolves around her family’s duty to protect the royal family (with her father and brother being personal guards to the King and Prince respectively) her duty is to take over the position of Marshal (head of the City guard) when her godfather - Cor Leonis - retires. That is all she has known, training to one day take the position…

But…

Obviously plans and training are all well and good, but the Crown City of Insomnia falls to the enemy in a massive attack that cost the lives of hundreds of people (even some she cares about) so once Violet and some friends and family have escaped the city she goes on the long journey with the Prince, her brother and other close friends to fulfill the prophecy revolving around the Prince.

This story follows the main storyline of the Kingsglaive film and the full FFXV game (and DLCs) with a couple of tweaks in the story (some people stay alive in my story who die in game, one in particular is a good guy when he’s a major antagonist in the film, little things like that)

It also has some content before the canon events happen, some relationship development between family and friends some context to motives etc

Guard and Glaive is so named because of the 2 main relationships I will be writing about in this story are Violet (a Guard) x Nyx Ulric (a Glaive) and Cor Leonis (a Guard) x Titus Drautos (a Glaive)

I’m very excited to share this… just need to write it now 😅

[blossom-adventures]

Trick or treat!

Thank you for the request ☺️💙🎃

Now… I don’t have anything I’d feel comfortable sharing as a WIP

But!!

I have my story idea for what happens in Tenebrae when King Regis takes Noctis to get healing from the Oracle ☺️

Quick note: Titus isn’t Glauca

When they go, they take a contingent of Kingsglaive with them as their personal guards as well as Clarus, this group of Glaives also includes Titus, who is still only a Lieutenant at the time, the Captain and about 7 others.

When the Empire attack, along with General Glauca, the Captain orders the Glaive to fall back and protect the King and the Prince, as Titus is falling back Ravus gets shot and the Queen runs to protect her son (as it happens in the Prologue of the film) but instead of the Queen getting killed by Glauca, Titus warps in between them and summons a shield.

Titus tells the Queen to get out the way while he fights Glauca, she and Ravus run to the safety of King Regis, Clarus and the other Glaives, who have also got Noctis and Luna with them.

Once the Empire realise they are out numbered because of the defenders of Tenebrae they fall back, but non of the Lucians have heard from Titus since they fell back to safety, so Clarus insists that they go and look for him, he and the Captain get into a massive argument about it, resulting in Regis relieving the Captain of his command and ordering the Glaive and Clarus to go looking for Titus. Regis also goes out in search of their “brother’s” boyfriend. Regis and Clarus find him badly injured and once they have him safe they travel back to Insomnia

Cor sees all this on the news the next day and is instantly an emotional wreck because his closest friends, who are like brothers to him are out there as well as his boyfriend! Luckily for Cor, Violet (my OC, who is 11 at the time) is there for him ☺️

I’m looking forward to getting to write this bit as it’s been in my head since I started planning this fic, hope you like this little idea ☺️💙

[blossom-adventures]

I asked my family to pick a random number from my @badthingshappenbingo card. My mum picked out the prompt Slammed Against a Wall

So here it is…

Chaos in the Citadel

The Citadel was in chaos, Titus held his sword tightly in one hand and Violet’s hand in the other as he led he through the long corridors.

“We need to find your father and the King, get everyone out of the Citadel, out of the city” Titus looked over his shoulder to look at Violet. “Keep close to me, I’ll keep you safe, I promise” Violet nodded, allowing herself to be led by the Captain towards the council room where the peace treaty was being signed.

They passed one of the large windows that overlooked the city.

“Oh Gods…” Violet stopped, Titus felt her hand leave his, so he turned to look at her, then followed her gaze to what lay outside; Insomnia was ablaze, there were 4 Niflheim war ships approaching as well as several MT carriers.

“We need to keep moving, Violet” Titus took her hand again, she didn’t move, “Violet, listen to me,” Titus put his hands on her shoulders and turned her to face him. “We need to go, we need to find Clarus and Regis and we need to leave”

“Do you think Cor is ok out there?” Violet muttered, Titus took a deep breath

“Cor… he’ll be fine… I’m certain of it, but right now we need to focus on ourselves, alright?”

“Alright” Violet nodded, Titus gave her a brief reassuring smile before they continued through the Citadel.

As they rounded a corner Titus stopped, grabbed Violet and pushed her back the way they came as the corridor suddenly thundered with gunfire.

“Not that way, go back towards the elevator, go!” Titus ushered her forward towards the nearest elevator doors, the sound of MTs pursuing them slowly became louder and louder until Violet heard Titus gasp, she turned to see him get grabbed and slammed against the wall by one on the axe-wielding MTs, it’s hand was pressed against the Captains throat, cutting off his supply of air and preparing to swing its large axe.

“Titus!” Violet summoned her sword and cut the arm of the MT that was holding the Captains neck, once he was free, Titus finished it off. He only had a moment to recover before he had to summon a shield to protect them both from the gunfire that came shortly after

“Get to the elevator” he ordered, as he backed up with Violet, keeping the shield up until the elevator doors closed, separating them from the MTs. Once they were safe, Titus looked at Violet. “Thanks for that” he said quietly, Violet let out a trembling breath. “Are you ok?” She nodded, “not hurt are you?” She shook her head

“Are you?” She asked

“I’m fine, once the elevator stops we’ll find the King and the Lord Shield, then we’ll get into the city, we’ll find Cor and your sister and we’ll get out of Insomnia” Violet nodded

[blossom-adventures]

Would you consider Hidden Scar for FFXV and your OC?

Thank you for the request and thank you for your patience, here is my second prompt from my @badthingshappenbingo card, Hidden Scars. It takes place in my Final Fantasy XV story, think of it as a little teaser of what I’m working on, this story has a personal Head Canon regarding Captain Drautos and other residents of the region of Cavaugh

I hope you like it ☺️💙

Bracelets

Violet dropped back onto the grass, Prompto sat down next to her.

“Remind me to politely decline next time you invite me for a run,” Violet huffed, the 18 year old, blonde laughed “I’ll stick to my early morning jog with Captain Drautos”

“I wasn’t expecting you to struggle like that, Violet”

“My usual running companion is in his 40’s and built for strength more than speed, and we usually talk while we run” Violet sat up and took a few sips of water and caught her breath.

The pair sat in the high, summer sun in the park for a while, watching others passing by on the footpath. Violet twisted the bracelet on her right wrist

“That’s a nice bracelet, Violet, I’ve always thought so, is it leather?” Violet looked down at the wide leather band; black, red and purple dyed leather with a silver clasp that bore the Amicitia coat of arms.

“It was a gift, from Captain Drautos, tanned and dyed leather, yes. It’s a traditional thing from his homeland”

“But you’re Insomnian”

“Yeah… but he wanted me to have one…” Violet looked down at her wrist “I have a scar, that runs around my wrist. When I got it, I was so scared to go to school, I knew people would ask about it and I wasn’t ready to explain it, I refused to go… for about a week, then the Captain brought me this” Violet undid the clasp of the leather band and showed Prompto the gagged scarring that ran around her wrist, he unconsciously fidgeted with his green striped sweatband on his right wrist, which didn’t go unnoticed by Violet. “We always need to feel comfortable, if that means hiding a scar, then we should, right?”

“Yeah…” Prompto nodded. He looked at her while she put her bracelet back on. “You said that those are traditional for the Captain’s homeland, right?” Violet hummed, “does he wear one?”

“He wears 8 of them, 3 on his right wrist, 5 on his left, his are much smaller than this though, and they all have different meanings”

“Which are?”

“I can’t tell you… those leather bands are sacred to his culture, it’s like Galahdans with their beads”

“So, if it’s so sacred, it must mean a lot to receive one”

“It is, people of Cavaugh can give people a bracelet, but only someone who means a great deal to them, it creates a bond, anyone should be honoured to receive one”

“I didn’t realise you were so close to the Captain” Violet lay back down on the grass and smiled fondly

“He’s like family”

Character Inspiration & OC Song Lyrics!

I was tagged in a couple of things last week, one was character inspiration (tagged by @bougainvillea-and-saltwater and @sylvienerevarine thank you both) and the other was OC Song Lyrics (which I was tagged by @thequeenofthewinter thanks 💙)

And I’ve decided to do these tag games for my 2 Skyrim OCs and my FFXV OC too, because, why not? So here they are at last, I’m sorry it too so long to get around to!

I’m going to put them under the cut because there is a lot of information I want to put 😁

Jaina - Far Horizons & Ancient Stones

Jocelyn (City Of Bones) - Motherly & Secretive

Lunafreya (Final Fantasy 15) - Compassionate & Caring

Hild (The Last Kingdom) - Faithful & Loyal

Pike (Critical Role & Legend of Vox Machina) - Underestimated & Strong

Ciri (The Witcher) - Powerful & A Fighter

Eowyn (Lord of the Rings) - Brave & Fierce

And the lyrics I picked for Jaina were from the Evanescence song - Imperfection

“Don’t you dare surrender, don’t leave me here without you, ‘cause I could never replace your perfect imperfections”

Kristof - The Blood Prophecy

Steapa (The Last Kingdom) - Loyal & Honest

Captain Drautos (FFXV: Kingsglaive) - A Leader & Secretive

Aragorn (The Lord of the Rings) - A Loner & Natural Adventurer

Grog (Critical Role & Legend of Vox Machina) - Fierce in Battle & Gentle Giant

Geralt (The Witcher) - Primal Instinct & Intimidating

Cid (Final Fantasy 16) - Quick Wit & Brotherly Friend

And my lyrics for Kristof were from the Tears for Fears song - Everybody Wants to Rule the World

“There’s a room where the light won’t find you, holding hands while the worlds come tumbling down, when they do I’ll be right behind you”

Violet Amicitia - Guard & Glaive

Aethelflaed (The Last Kingdom) - Natural Leader & Inspirational

Joan Thursday (Endeavour) - Caring & Strong Willed

Vex’halia (Critical Role & Legend of Vox Machina) - Compassionate & Intelligent

Iris Amicitia (Final Fantasy 15) - Fun & Excitable

Clarus & Gladio Amicitia (FFXV: Kingsglaive & Final Fantasy 15, respectively) - Strong, Brave, Loyal & Protective

The 3 Amicitia characters are also here because my OC is twin sister to Gladio, so I was heavily influenced by the family

My lyrics for Violet are from the Florence & The Machine cover - Stand By Me

“If the sky, that we look upon, should tumble and fall, or the mountains, should crumble to the sea, I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no I won’t shed a tear, just as long as you stand, stand by me”

FFXV Original Character!

As I am going to be taking part in Nyx Week 2023 I thought it best to introduce you all to my OC for my new story as she is going to appear in some - if not all - of my contributions to Nyx week.

Her name is Violet Amicitia, twin sister to Gladio. She is 6 foot tall with long, dark brown hair and honey brown eyes. She gets trained in the Crownsguard, with the intention of taking the position of Marshal when Cor retires.

She spends a lot of time with Cor, training with him as well as working as his assistant/secretary when she’s in her teens. She also spends time with Captain Drautos and the Glaive, which is how she met Nyx

I’m sorry I can’t share more, but I’m currently working on the new story and I don’t want to spoil any story points
