Commission I did for a friend who left me with “Garuda x Susano” and that Endwalker scene where they actually interact, which spawned this delightful shitpost of a fic

-

Garuda, like any god worthy of the name, knew all the goings on of the star, even when she wasn't actually present on it. Not that she usually cared about the antics of the smallfolk. Those who worshiped her were permitted to live, the rest should die. Usually, at least.

This omnipotence meant she was also more than passingly familiar with the shelled, water-aspected primal who was somehow soaring through her air, as if they belonged in the skies. Worse still than the affront of their very presence was the fact that they seemed to be trying to woo her.

What any mortal could see in the nattering lummox was beyond her. Even those bumbling reptiles who called them their god should be able to see what an unrepentant fool they were, with their hulking frame and cumbersome plates of armor. And they didn't soar through the air so much as flowed through it, like they mistook her skies for their foul brine. And as if that wasn't enough offense, as if the very fact of being summoned to propel unworthy mortals through her domain was not sufficiently insulting to her dignity, they had the gall to flirt with her!

And poorly, too. Not that it would have been better if they had flirted well, but perhaps it would have relieved the insult to this injury just a hair. But no. Lord of Revels, the turtle-folk called them. Give her a break.

"Come now, do not sulk so! Such a pretty face would look better twisted in delight than in sour misery!"

She scowled at them, refusing to grant them the honor of her attention as though they might cease their senseless prattle if only she refused to entertain it, but alas, they proved to be undeterred by her silence.

"And what a lovely face it is, truly! Thy lips so full, thy pointed chin, so becoming - and an ample bosom besides! Thy followers are truly enviable, to chance to look upon thee at their leisure."

She regretted scowling so soon, if only because it meant there remained no room for her lips to twist further downward. Who were they to assert the loveliness of her features when they themselves were naught but tangled seaweed reefed forth on a sailor's line? They wouldn't know true beauty if it slid beneath their ridiculous plates and stabbed them.

"And how thy heavens hold thee aloft! Thy viridian plumes shine in the glow of the sun, and the wind ripples through thy wings like seaweed in a stream. Truly, tis a marvelous sight. There's nowhere we'd rather be than right here to take it in."

"There are an infinite number of places I'd rather you be," Garuda bit back.

"But name thy preferred location - it would be our honor and our pleasure to visit it with thee."

"Why don't we start with the depths of the earth and we can go from there? The weight of a thousand tonze of crushing earth might well wring some worth from that limp pile of algae you call a brain."

"I know not if Titan would welcome our presence, but surely even that old rock could not stand in the way of our whirlwind romance!"

"If you think the term whirlwind will endear you to me, I fear you are mistaken. I would much prefer to feast upon your viscera than dally with a flightless halfwit such as you. Even the wildest if my winds could not blow away the stench of rotting fish that wafts from your breath."

Susano laughed merrily, as though she hadn't just threatened to skin them alive. Perhaps their grasp on the mortal tongue was lacking. Or perhaps they were merely determined to irritate her to death. "If it is thy desire to devour us whole, we should certainly not complain! To have thy lips wrapped around our flesh would be a most pleasant outcome indeed!"

Tch. Why did she even bother? She should have just kept her mouth shut. She returned her gaze to the horizon, studiously ignoring her would-be suitor as they swooped around her, cutting through the air to twirl and dance on the winds. She had to concede, more than a little begrudgingly, that they did move well through the air. Even if they practically swam through it instead of flying freely. The two were no so dissimilar, their foul waters and her glorious skies. Not that she'd ever admit that aloud.

Still they needled at her, bumbling jibes and flirtatious innuendos that made her grit her teeth. They were incessant and irritating, like the buzz of a fly she had yet to swat.

So she swatted.

"Very well," she snapped. "If you think yourself so formidable, then I shall concede to your request but once. Show me what it means to rejoice with the Lord of Revelry."

The self-satisfied air that gathered around him promised she would regret her outburst. "Oh I assure you, so long as thou art in our company, thou shalt not want for gaiety!" They snatched up her hand, tugging her into a twirling spiral that danced through her heavens. "Let the revels begin!"

Actually not only is Ravana cool as shit but he's the first original primal (aka not based on a previous Final Fantasy summoned creature) of XIV! They fully made up a 20 feet beetle sword saint and i'm very happy they did!
