Campfire Birth

Kinkmeme Prompt:

MPreg - Prompto gives birth to a baby

The father can be whoever you like, I'd just want to read a story where Prompto is pregnant and gives birth to his baby, in the middle of nowhere, helped by the chocobros. Of course, the labor is not painless (not at all)

Title is whatever. My brain refuses to think of an actually clever one.

You all know this shit is right up my ally and that I’ll probably make a round-trip of the boys for it because that’s what I do. I literally saw this on the kinkmeme pinboard (while trying to find another prompt) and wrote it in a night. Have since edited it a bit to clean up errors/logic failings so it’s being posted here now.

Left the father vague because I don’t really care either who it is and this is more about the boys relationship.

Warnings: childbirth, mpreg,

“Ah guys? I think my water just broke,” Prompto says and Noctis is sure he isn’t the only one with panic quickly raising. They knew Prompto was due any day now but having it be any hour now makes it feel so much more real.

“Are you sure?” Gladio asks and Noctis knows the impulse. If Prompto’s wrong they can just continue with him being insanely heavily pregnant. Not literally about to push a baby out.

“I mean I might have pissed myself but I’m pretty sure I haven’t,” Prompto says before hissing like he’s in pain, his body going taught in the front seat. “Yeah, pretty sure it’s my water.”

“We need to head back into town,” Noctis says because they do. He realises that they really should have thought of some plan for what they were going to do when this happens but they hadn’t. All living in some form of denial that so long as they didn’t acknowledge the rapidly-growing garula in the room that was Prompto’s stomach they wouldn’t have to deal with the fact that the world’s falling down around their ears and they’re about to have the responsibility of a baby on top of it.

“We’re too far out,” Ignis says, sounding much too calm for the situation. “We won’t make it back until dark and it wouldn’t be advisable to be on the roads at night all things considering.”

Wouldn’t be good to be attacked by daemons considering Prompto’s in labour and therefore completely useless in a fight. Hell, all of them would probably be pretty distracted if someone tried to attack them right now.

“So what do we do?”

“A haven would probably be our best bet.”

Noctis is about to point out that a haven isn’t good enough and demand they come up with a better plan when Prompto speaks up. “It’s okay. A haven’s fine. Anyway you said the labour might last a full day, we might be able to get to the town in the morning before I have to… well, you know.”

Before he has to give birth with basically no medical aid.

The look on Ignis’ face makes it very clear at how likely he thinks it will be for Prompto’s labour to last long enough for them to make it back to town in time.

“It’s probably best we prepare for the worst,” Ignis says. Or: they’re screwed.

“Yeah, probably,” Prompto says with a weak smile, his hand coming down to rub along his stomach which is the reason they’re in this mess. Not that Noctis blames him or the child personally but this is certainly not the situation he wanted to be in. Was in a way the exact situation he feared he would end up in when Prompto told him he was pregnant. He suddenly feels silly for having brushed it off as something that wouldn’t happen.

Ignis pulls the car into parking spot and Noctis remembers that there’s still a bit of a walk to get to the campsite.

“Will you be right to get there Prom?” He doesn’t really know what he will do if the answer is ‘no’ but they’ll figure it out.

“Yeah, I think so. It’s not too bad yet.”

“Walking should help a bit with the labour,” Ignis says because Noctis supposes he probably read up on this after he found out.

“See, walking will help,” Prompto says but doesn’t sound anywhere near sure about the fact.

“Take as long as you gotta’. We still got a bit before the sun sets,” Gladio says and Noctis realises how lucky they are that currently the sun is only really threatening to set and hasn’t started actually doing so.

“We’re not going to leave you behind.”

“Thanks.” Prompto flashes them a grin before he makes his way out of the car.

The trip doesn’t take too long. They certainly get there before the sun sets. But it does take much longer then it normally does. Prompto’s pace much slower now he carries the extra weight of his stomach and they have to stop half-way through when he suddenly gasps and reaches out to grab the closest thing to ground himself as he winces – Noctis’ arm.

“You’re okay,” he says reaching out with his other hand to rest it on Prompto’s shoulder while the other tries to breathe through the contraction.

“They’re still a fair bit apart,” Ignis notes as he comes around to gently rub along Prompto’s back.

“That’s a good thing right?”

“It means there is still a while to go,” Ignis replies and Noctis gets that whether or not that is a good thing depends entirely on ones interpretation of it.

When they get to the campsite he is quick to summon their chairs so Prompto can sit down again while the three of them set up the rest of the camp and start on dinner. Ignis cracking an ebony as he cooks.

“We might be in for a long night,” he says as explanation.

Prompto doesn’t eat much of his dinner which Ignis says is to be expected and Noctis quickly figures out what Ignis meant when he said it was going to be a long night when it’s time to turn in for bed and none of them want to. He doesn’t want to go to sleep in case Prompto needs him throughout the night. As much as he doesn’t want to be in the situation he doesn’t want to leave Prompto alone in it either.

“It’s not like this’ll be the first time we’ve pulled an all-nighter,” Gladio points out when Prompto protests their refusal to go to sleep.

“We want to be here to help you,” Noctis says after Prompto insists he’s fine and they can sleep.

“It’s better for us to be clear-headed should your condition change,” Ignis adds.

And for a great deal of time it is just them staying awake and waiting for something to change. Ignis keeps track of the space between Prompto’s contractions as it slowly decreases and the three of them trying to keep him as comfortable as possible despite how unideal their situation is.

For a bit there Noctis starts believing that they might make it through the night and be able to return to town and an actual doctor before Prompto gives birth.

Of course just like every other part of the trip their luck doesn’t hold out.

“Okay that one really hurt,” Prompto says after a contraction that had the three of them running to his side from how loudly he groaned at it. Still despite it being over he lets out a hiss. “Still hurts. Oh six it still hurts.”

“How does it hurt?” Ignis asks.

“Like it’s heavy? And low and-“ He gasps and his hands grip tight onto the chair and hand Gladio offered him. “Really hurts.”

“I think they’ve engaged.”

“What does that mean?” Prompto asks his grip becoming less deathly-firm but still not releasing his current supports.

“That this will be over soon.”

Which- oh. Oh.

Noctis finds himself looking up at the sky to confirm that yes it is still night. They won’t be making it back to town.

“I suggest we move this to the tent,” Ignis says and nobody seems willing to argue with him. Noctis takes the role of the chair-arm as Prompto’s other hand’s stress-ball as they help him to walk the metre to it, pausing at the entryway when another contraction hits him.  

“It’s okay,” Noctis says when Prompto whimpers after it. “It’s going to be okay.”

“I know,” Prompto says, “just kind of struggling to believe it currently.”

“Come on,” Gladio says and they manage to get him into the tent and somewhat settled before the next contraction hits.

“You’re going to need to take your pants off,” Ignis says and Noctis is so glad he’s taking charge because he’s pretty sure if he was he’d be completely freaking out by now. Not that he doesn’t think Ignis is actually as calm as he’s presenting but he’s doing a pretty good job of the presenting of it.

“Right,” Prompto says but takes a moment before moving to do so. Something they all allow him. As much as they all are freaking out he’s the one that has it worse. The one who really doesn’t have a choice in the matter. If he needs to take a couple of seconds to psych himself up that it more than fine.

It’s clearly a bit of a struggle for him to get his pants off. Especially seeing how reluctant he is to let go of the two hands he currently has in his grasp. With a bit of awkward adjusting he manages it though and Noctis suddenly finds himself trying really hard not to think about the why Prompto is no longer wearing pants. Really hard not to think about how the baby is going to come out of him.

Another contraction hits and Noctis swears his hand is going to be broken by the end of the night if it keeps up like this. He quickly forgets about that fact with what Prompto says after it passes. “I think… Ah, I think I need to push now right? I feel like I do.”

“Then yes, you need to push,” Ignis says with more compassion than Noctis thinks he could put in the words seeing there’s a part of him that very much wants to tell Prompto not to do that because doing that means this is all really happening.

“Right, yeah, you’re right,” Prompto says but he sounds scared and it isn’t fair. None of it is fair. Nothing’s been fair since they left the Crown City and everything decided to descend into one horrible occurrence after another that has led them to this point.

“You can do this Prom,” Gladio says. “Come on, you’re strong, this is nothing okay?”

Noctis would very much like to argue the ‘this is nothing’ comment seeing his best friend is literally about to push a baby out of him and they’re all he has to help but he understands what Gladio means. “Prom, you’ve got this.”

“Right,” Prompto says but his voice is still far from firm. He doesn’t really get much choice in it though because the next contraction comes and Noctis can tell from the way Prompto’s face scrunches up that it’s involving a lot more effort on his part than the previous ones did.

It passes but Prompto seems to barely have time to catch his breath before the next one hits and he’s once again scrunching his face and letting out a high-pitched whine. A sound almost caught in his throat by the strain of what he’s doing.

“You’re doing well,” Noctis tells him while he pointedly refuses to look between Prompto’s spread legs because he doesn’t really want to see the child enter the world no matter how much people claim it’s a miracle. He doesn’t know how Ignis is doing it but he’s grateful for it. “Keep going.”

“They’re crowning,” Ignis says, reaching for one of the clean towels that isn’t bunched under Prompto’s spread legs. “Just a bit more Prompto and it’ll be over.”

It certainly doesn’t seem like ‘just a bit more’ to Noctis. Not with how long it takes before Ignis declares that the head is out. Prompto doesn’t much seem to notice the discrepancy between the statement and reality though. No, he seems much too caught up in the pain and strain of pushing to notice much of anything.

Then all of the sudden there’s the sound of the gushing of liquid and Prompto relaxes. Noctis cautions a look downwards to see Ignis holding a very newborn baby.

“There he is,” Ignis says and Prompto gives out a relieved sob. His face looking sweaty and exhausted and really Noctis cannot blame him for it one bit. “A healthy boy.”

“See, you did it,” Gladio says as Ignis fusses around with wrapping the baby up.

“Who do you want to cut the cord?” Ignis asks after the moment of happiness and relief.

“Uh, Noct?” Prompto says as if he hadn’t thought about it. Which Noctis kind of forgives him for considering he seemed a bit busy the moment before but he also very much doesn’t forgive him for seeing he is the one being nominated.

“I mean, if you want?”

“I guess,” Prompto says with a shrug, seemingly content to lean most of his weight onto Gladio who takes it without complaint. Noctis has a feeling they’re not going to be leaving the camp until the day after because Prompto, at least, will want to sleep the day away. And honestly he kind of wants to join him. Hopefully the baby will let them.

He pushes that thought aside before shifting so he can take the scissors Ignis hands him and cut through the flesh cord that still connects the baby to Prompto. After tying it off Ignis hands him the baby bundle which he diligently ferries to Prompto’s hands.

“Wow he’s small,” is the first thing Prompto says once his son is in his arms.

“And kind of ugly,” Noctis adds, because, to be fair, he is.

“You try being squeezed out of something smaller than your head and we’ll see how pretty you look after princess,” Gladio says and gently belts him. Conscious not to jostle Prompto.

“Dude, gross!” It’s not a mental image he wants to think about at all. It does earn him a genuine, if tired, smile from Prompto though so it’s worth it.

All of it’s worth it really. Even if he doesn’t want to ever do it again in his life.

fic meme!

thanks @printfogey for the tag ♥

Name(s): eglantiere on dreamwidth, egelantier on ao3

Fandoms: too many to count, but my most long-lasting one turned out to be final fantasy xv. i also dabble in tgcf, the goblin emperor, leverage, guardian, and whatever else catches my fancy.

Most popular one-shot (by kudos):

Overall: for a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree, a guardians of the galaxy oneshot banged out in one hour after i came back from seeing the first movie in the theaters. it's probably never leaving this first place, since usually i hang out in fandoms of, to quote ikel, three people and a shoelace.

This year: your chains are too dark for the seas you must swim, tgcf space opera au.

Most Popular Multi-chap (also by kudos):

Overall: A Working Relationship, a fun ffxv romp with gladio and ignis getting kidnapped and working their way out of their predicament together. it was written as a kinkmeme fill, and i think it was my first multichapter fic.

This year: ain't gonna be the one left standing, also ffxv, and weirdly it also includes kidnapping (ha!). noct and ignis, ridiculous whump, a cinematic car chase and some consensual possession.

Favorite story you’ve written so far:

i have a different answer to this question every other month, but right now, in the intersection of what i wanted to write / what i wrote / how the readers responded, it's give your heart and soul to charity, also ffxv, a bittersweet permanent de-aging story. it just poured into my head and whoosh, done.

Fic you were nervous to post:

down comes the night, my first foray into writing for cdramas, guardian, ridiculously self-indulgent cave-in angst with confessions and dark, dark secrets. ironically, the very generous guardian fandom frankly showered it with love, and it's one of my top three popular fics. the more you know!

How do you choose your titles:

with very rare exceptions, it's song lyrics. sometimes i know what song i'm writing for, sometimes i pull a quote from whatever is playing and fits when i'm done with the story. sometimes it's a line of poetry.

Do you outline:

yes, although more in a sense of putting down the main beats of the story and working out its cadence. sometimes i storyboard instead of outlining. usually when i begin writing i compress or cut down the scenes, though.

Complete: 164 fics (holy crap, self)

In progress: about four projects, i think.

Not started: not a lot? i think i have two or three ideas that i either abandoned or was too intimidated to write, but generally i either dismiss things or write them to the end.

Prompts?: oh, yes. i love doing exchanges, and i love it when people are specific about what they like - not to the point of outlining the story to me, but rather giving me scenarios to bounce off. and i love the 'fandom, character, song lyric' style of drabble prompts. i usually work better when i have some hook to begin with, although then i go through an entirely long and tedious process of making it my own.

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: a secret slavefic! or a pslavefic, if i may.

Some self promo because i forgot to post them here

http://archiveofourown.org/works/11081169 

The Signs of the Apocalypse - Gladio and Prompto have finally admitted their feelings to each other and Ignis and Noctis could not be happier that they've gotten together and are happy. Until they realise that Gladio and Prompto are disgustingly adorable and over the top with how in love they are.

What is my picture doing on your phone? -  Prompto's phone runs out of battery from playing King's Knight too much while Noctis was fishing so he asks for his best friend's phone. Noctis hands it to him without thinking, but then panis because he remembered that he had a certain picture in his lockscreen that he didn't want anyone to see.

Ao3 Datasheet

I was tagged by @miraculouspaon! ♥

What is your name? Hallie

What are your fandoms? i’m uuusually a serial fandom monogamist, though over the years that’s switched from ‘only reads one fandom’ to ‘only writes one fandom’ with no crossover. currently writing mostly for the immortals quartet (specifically daine/numair) by tamora pierce! though i’ve gone through miraculous ladybug, voltron, final fantasy xv, persona  5.

Where do you post your fanfiction? ao3, kinkmemes, anonmemes, fanfiction.net, tumblr... it really depends tbh.

Going by kudos, what is your most popular one-shot? daydream, which... is nearly at 3.5k kudos atm o_o man that shot up when i wasn’t looking;;

Going by kudos, what is your most popular multi-chapter? check yes juliet, as it has been right from the start, which hangs around 4k kudos atm.

What is your personal favourite story, out of your current content? a case of mistaken identity (vehicular, recurrent) out of all the ones i’ve actually posted. i’ve been really reeeeeally loving writing d/n, especially once it started to really click how tight they were and the real aesthetic of friends-to-lovers kicked in. (i've been super satisfied with my writing generally lately, and that’s niiiiice.)

What work were you most nervous to post? lol, a few that i won’t name here because i’m still worried about getting shit for them, innocent as they are. (i don’t even post dddne, yet i can still feel the tumblr police coming for me... >_>)

Is there a method to how you title your work? i used to go for the song title of whatever i was listening to on loop while i was writing, but then i started using songs that had the same title or using the same song twice, so then i switched to using either whole lyric lines from those songs or single words that just seemed to fit, and now i mix those up with more standard title-y sounding things.

Do you outline your works or just wing it? if it’s got more than a scene or two, i outline. i need to know how something will end before i take on a multichapter/multipart project, and for that, i need to know how i’ll get there, and for that, i need an outline to make sure it all works out.

Are you excited about any of your upcoming works? all of them!

enemies to lovers au, where arram never left carthak and ends up as the head mage of carthak’s army as it invades tortall, and daine, obviously, is one of the frontline fighters. a lot of uncomfortable ust ensues.

a/b/o au, which is actually just a lot of worldbuilding about heats and breeding seasons and mating rituals wrapped up in an “i don’t want to ruin our friendship” angst excuse plot

gigglycrush fic, a no war au as inspired by avril lavigne nightcore where daine realizes she’s in love with numair and has an AAAAA moment or twenty over it while everyone else tries to figure out what’s gotten into her and who she’s mooning over

mermaid/selkie au, where daine is a sea lion mermaid who frequents the beach around numair’s tower and gets PROFOUNDLY worried that he seems to have no wives (not even one!!!!!) and therefore is at great risk of death, and starts trying to feed this disaster of a lonely wizard man at every opportunity

cinderellaish au, where jon hosts a ball to find a wife for numair and galla sends daine-the-bastard in a fugly dress as a middle finger to the concept itself and tortall generally. unfortunately for galla, this is my otp, and it would not be a fic for my otp if they did not fall in love

goddess says, “ladies come first”, a post rotg (no relationship au) pwp where d/n get trapped in a temple and have to fuck to get out again.

+ a few exchange pieces i can’t talk about yet but are proving super fun to write :D

Author name: I have been Cyhyr everywhere on the internets since 2006, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

Fandoms I write for: Most of my posted stories are for Final Fantasy XV, but in the past I’ve been known to write for the MCU and Kingdom Hearts, and even dabbled a bit into Naruto once upon a time. My KH and Naruto stuff isn’t available online anymore since I deleted my ffnet stuff though. I’m also currently writing for the White Clouds Tarot Zine, so expect some Fire Emblem: Three Houses fics in the future.

Where I post: On tumblr and AO3

Most popular one-shot: Based on AO3′s stats, that would be my MCU piece Fever, which as of 9 March 2020 has 7185 hits and 205 kudos. Admittedly, Fever has also been live since 2012.

Favorite story I wrote: This is a loaded question. So, by “favorite” I’m going to take it to mean that it was the most fun to write, but not necessarily my best work, yeah? And in that case it’s definitely the collab piece I did with a high school friend of mine (which, btw, is incomplete and likely will stay that way, as the two of us have fallen out of contact). It’s a Kingdom Hearts & Legend of Dragoon Crossover and I’ll be honest with y’all, it’s pretty bad in the beginning but you can see the progression both of us make with our writing as we grew up with that story. We traded off chapters, so I had the prologue and then the even numbered chapters going from there. I am very aware that the final chapter is technically mine to write, but like... I’d rather rewrite the whole thing lol.

The Legend of Dragoon by CyVeroxen (Axel/Roxas)

Story I was nervous to post: Displaced by Time, every single chapter that I send to the betas my stomach drops out and then when I finally get around to updating I usually have to hit the post button after an hour or so of formatting and last-second go-overs and then run away. It’s my baby and I want people to love it, but I don’t do longfics typically.

How do I choose titles:  

1. Title of Prompt, if given

2. An important word, translated to another language

3. A word that can summarize the theme of the piece

4. ??? sometimes I just don’t title it

Do you outline? Yep. Displaced by Time’s final outline is 4 Acts in 11 pages, but I’ve had original works that have had outlines of 20+ pages. I’ll further outline the individual chapter as I work on it, and then the dialogue, and then snowball from there. It lets me move around to the part in the story that is inspiring me to write while still keeping placeholder scenes where they belong. 

Complete: 13

Final Fantasy XV (11) Fire Emblem: Three Houses (1) The Avengers (Marvel Movies) (1)

In progress: 

Displaced by Time

White Clouds Tarot Zine Piece(s)

Plunnies: I really try not to let the bunnies breed in my head until after the current WIP is complete. That said, Sylvix week had me thinking of expanding on the Family prompt and I’ve been lurking on the Witcher Kinkmeme and let me tell you there are a few prompts there that have got me thinking...

Do you take prompts? I struggle a bit when other people give me prompts, for the most part. However, I do have a Bad Things Happen Bingo Card that needs filling out, and while some of these things can/will show up in DbT, it’s nice to be able to take a quick break from the story. 

Upcoming project I’m most excited about: I’m not sure where the winds of writing will take me next.

Tagging but under no obligations to participate: if you write and want to answer, go ahead!

*I’m not posting this anymore on the kinkmeme after this due to taking a more not so nice take on a character that those on the meme turn into rabid banshees to protect from any perceived bashing. So I’ll just be slowly updating it on here for those who may still read this fic.

Previous Next

After noticing how Ignis had reacted when the blonde entered the apartment, Gladio kept an eye on them both, watching the subtle gestures and body language when they were in each other’s vicinity. And on the off chance they were to lock eyes, Gladio swore he saw sparkles before the glasses wearing teen would act oddly disgruntled and turn away. It was like all the others Gladio had seen that ended up together. So there was no doubt about it, the two were soulmates. However, it would seem that someone didn’t agree and that threw the older man off though. Ignis’ reaction when Gladio broached the subject the day after was surprising, with him acting hostile and almost offended at the notion.

“You are clearly mistaken, Gladiolus, and you should not make baseless assumptions like that.” Ignis snaps, acting twitchy as his face becomes red.

“Iggy, the two of you were batting your eyelashes at one another half the night and blushing like nuns in a porn shop whenever you were close. Not to mention your nose would twitch whenever he’d walk by. And when he hugged you, you all but had your nose buried in his neck.”

“My nose twitched from the choice of body spray he had bathed himself in before arriving, it was horrid and suffocating. You should count yourself lucky to have not been able to smell it.” he huffs and shakes his head. “Really, I will never understand the obsession with using a whole can of body spray on oneself every day. Plus I shoved my face into his neck to not be rude and to hide my disgust of that horrid spray.”    

“Ignis, I know what I saw.”

“No you don’t! He is not my soulmate! My soulmate is-” he snarls but then stops and collects himself by taking a deep breath. “I do not believe I have met mine yet or it is possible they haven’t started producing pheromones yet. There are some despite presenting that don’t give off a scent until they are well into adulthood or those who use suppressants or blockers. So just, stop Gladio.”

But he doesn’t and starts laughing. Not a “this is funny” laugh, but a “you gotta be kidding me” laugh.

“Un-fucking-believable. I’m mean wow, never would I have pegged you as being so arrogant.”

The younger man’s eyes slit. “What?”

“I mean really, your destined love, the one meant just for you was just plopped into your lap and you have the balls to get mad because he’s not the one you wanted while your friend who wants to find theirs can’t because fate gave them the middle finger. So what is it, Ignis? He not up to your high standards or is it because of your dream to be the one to claim and knot h-” A stinging slap to his face cuts Gladio off. Blood trickles down from his nostrils and a deep rage begins building inside him.

“Do not put words in my mouth Gladio, especially ones that are salacious and unfounded. I’m telling you he is not my soulmate and your accusation is deplorable and you should feel ashamed.”

Gladio doesn’t waver though and grits his teeth as he futility wipes at the blood dripping down his face. “So then what were all the eye batting and little blushes for?”

“I was blinking more due to standing over a hot stove and my eyes getting dry. The blushing was embarrassment from the crude talk coming from yours and the other two’s mouths. I really expected better from you Gladio and your obsession with all this soulmate nonsense is warping your mind. Keep this delusional nonsense up and you won’t have friends left, I for one won’t be and just do what is needed when it pertains to his highness. Not to mention your mental state may be called into question and you may be deemed unfit as a member of the guard.”

This incenses Gladio even more, he would never allow himself to become so obsessed with something that he’d make rash or immoral decisions that could cause harm to others. And he has seen the same signs over a dozen times before and had not been wrong once. If anyone was being delusional it was Ignis. There was no way he was wrong about this, there couldn’t.

Could it?

“You’re bleeding.” a voice gasps out.

The two men turn to look at the prince who stares in concern at his shield and Gladio hears a faint scoff off to the side as Noctis begins to step closer to him.  

Gladio just grunts softly while wiping his nose again and nudges the teen’s hand away before turning to walk towards the locker rooms. “My allergies are getting bad again. So just train with Ignis.”

He ignores the calls and heads into the locker room, sealing himself into one of the changing stalls and resting his head back against the wall with a deep sigh. Doubt and his own low self-esteem are eating away at him, making him question everything he has noted on the soulmate matter up to this point.

Maybe he was becoming obsessed, maybe they were just good guesses or just blatantly obvious. Gods, what had he done? He wants to cry, punch a wall, scream, curse fate for fucking him over, apologize, to be able to breathe through his damn nose for more than just a couple days. He’ll never be happy, never feel euphoric, never feel unconditional love, never find his soulmate. He fucked up, all because he assumed and stubbornly stuck to his guns in hopes it was true and he had solved the puzzle of finding his love. Then by hurling insults and allegations at his friend in a fit of rage. He was stupid.

“Hey.”

Gladio looks up and sees Noctis leaning over the separator between his and the other stall. “Noct, get down.”

“Then unlock the door and let me come in.”

“No, you have training to do.”

“Don’t have anyone to train with.”

“What about Ignis?”

“He left, said he had a migraine.”

“Hmm.” Gladio grunts and unlocks the latch finally, allowing the younger teen entry.

“So what made you two get into an argument?” Noctis asks as he takes a seat next to his friend.

“We were not arguing.”  

“You have a welt in the shape of a hand and Ignis’ palm was red. Doesn’t take a genius to put two and two together.”

“Yeah, but sometimes your assumptions can be wrong.” he says with a sigh.

Noctis goes to reply but is cut off when Gladio lets out a mighty sneeze, followed by a few more.

“Sonuvabitch.” Gladio grumbles and wipes at his nose then tries breathing but finds he’s stuffed up. “Guess this is my punishment for being an asshole.” he says with a nasally tone.

“So tell me what was the fight about and don’t tell me it was nothing. I know when the both of you are mad.”

The older man purses his lips but lets out a deep sigh. “I told Ignis that I believed him and your blonde friend were soulmates based off of body cues I saw others have. He vehemently refuted my claim and I took some petty jabs at him.”

“He doesn’t think so?” Noct asks furrowing his brows and leaning his head back, “Huh, that’s odd. Prompto was sure they were too. He was all excited and wouldn’t shut up about. I almost suffocated him with my pillow.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, said he felt all tingly and warm after Ignis and him locked eyes, then even more when Ignis breathed in his scent and held him tighter when they hugged.”

“Huh, you don’t say.” Gladio grumbles and rubs at his nose.

“So Ignis denied it?”

“Yup, nastily too.” he says and frowns. “Maybe blondie is mistaken, as well as me.”

“No, I don’t think that’s true. I never saw Prompto so happy and it was all genuine. Maybe Ignis is denying it because he’s afraid it will cause a rift between us or that it will take his focus from his duties away?”

Both of those points were possible, along with something else that Gladio just tosses into the abyss of his mind.

“Could be.” he says with a sigh. “I probably should apologize to him though, I let my anger get the best of me.”

“You both did and both do.” Noctis says and nudges his shield. “So let’s go train and then head back to my place, I’m sure he’ll be there later anyway.”

“Yeah, sure.” Gladio says and then raises an eyebrow when the prince offers a hand to him. He goes to take it, but stops and sneezes multiple times. “Ah shit.” he grunts and sniffles as Noctis chuckles, making him smile. “Heh, guess my soulmate must have been thinking about me.”

The younger teen smiles back at him. “I believe they were.” he says and offers his hand out again.

Something clicks in the shield’s mind, that maybe the sneezes were more than just his allergies as Noctis had suggested. No, probably not, fate wasn’t that kind to him.

Noctis, on a diplomatic mission to Niflheim for his father, needs a date for appearances at business dinners and parties. Prompto, a sex worker on the streets of Gralea, needs money to save his friend's boarding house.

This is just a business deal. There's no way anything more could develop between them.

Right?

fic written in 2018 meme

total number of posted stories in 2018: 18 total word count: 56.380 fandoms written in: final fantasy xv, mahoutsukai no yome, guardian, star wars (OT), shirogane no ou, star stealing prince, vatican miracle examiner. fandoms I wouldn't have expected to write this year: star stealing prince, on account on never playing the game before. looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted? haaaaaaaaaaaaa. ha. this year was insane. i wrote more than i ever wrote in an hour before, by a lot; i was, for my, like a damn fic writing machine. i hope it wasn't a one-year fluke, but either way - here we are. what's your own favorite story of the year? a working relationship, an ignis and gladio adventure with kidnapping, torture, and competence porn. i wrote it just because, for a kinkmeme prompt but for no challenge or deadline, and actually got to the end of it, and it had action and adventure and dialogue and whump, and it was just - fun. (and long.) my best story of this year: this is hard to judge, but i think give your heart and soul to charity - another one i wrote on a whim, without a requester or challenge pressure, a bittersweet fairytale-ish ever after about permanent deaging and grief and new beginnings. i took my time with it and let it expand organically, and i think it got more or less exactly where i wanted it to go. (this said, next time i decide to write a story hinging on a four-way high stakes conversation where one of the participants is blind? shoot me.) (this said, apparently 'high stakes conversations where one of the participants is blind' is apparently my go-to trope this year. no i don't know either.) my most popular story of this year: most popular by ao3 hit count: you couldn't have it any other way, a chocolate box ffxv story i wrote for lagerstatte that kicked off the entire ffxv obsession thing, and also the whole 'conversations while blind (and also dying)' shtick. most popular by ao3 kudos: ditto! i think i landed in a very nice point of challenge zeitgeist.   most popular by ao3 comments: a working relationship, followed up by down comes the night, my guardian casefic for yuletide, and for the hint of a spark, a luke&leia post-endor story written for fandom5k. story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: it's not precisely underappreciated! my recip loved it, and i've gotten some lovely comments - but can't take the kid from the fight, a mahoutsukai no yome orphanfic/sickfic was hella fun to write, and i wish more people saw it. most fun story to write: want every tomorrow, a ravus/ignis story i wrote as a birthday gift for court_of_ocelot. it's a pretty dark story, in itself - about grief, and living after your sole guiding light is lost, and finding each other in the dark - but it was a joy to write, and the process itself was smooth and easy. sexiest story/story with the single sexiest moment: i still stick to gen/fade-to-black, so let's go with luna and ignis discussing ignis being noct's dowry in, well, dowry. hardest story to write: for the hint of a spark - it was a fandom5k assignment, and it fell square in the middle of complete IRL shitfest - moving! group! logistics! - and i ended up writing it frantically over the course of two days, very, very close under the line. i'm pleased with how it came out (and i am endlessly grateful to morbane for whipping it into shape on a really tight schedule), but writing it was a stamina exercise. and also, in a different way, you couldn't have it any other way, because it was the story that broke the most horrendous writer's break for me. i've had to literally force myself into writing it - there's a page, in the beginning of that fic's document, where i'm frantically trying to talk myself past the really horrible bout of anxiety - and i'm so, so glad it did. apparently it was a beginning of a beautiful friendship :D darkest story to write: passage, hands down. ffxv is a pretty tragic game, in itself, and apparently a part of my brain became immediately devoted to making it even darker. so, well. catatonia! grief! caretaker fatigue! mercy-killing! i maintain it's more hopeful than not, but... yeah. favorite title: give your heart and soul to charity, both for how it suits the fic and for the sly hint at the contents hidden in the song it's cribbed from. favorite opening line: The king must die. favorite closing line: When he pulls the trigger, the hum of the cicadas falls silent, just for a moment. Then it begins again. did you take any writing risks this year? a l l o f t h e m. longfics! casefics! cdrama fandom! anime fandoms! writing for a kinkmeme! writing just because! it was a very stretchy year, in this sense. do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year? i live in fear of my newfound ability to write without, like, dying, being a fluke. it's not so far - i'm writing right now, and it's hard and complicated and i'm panicking and being really close to the deadline, but i'm writing. so - i want to keep doing that, and to have some space to figure out what is my 'style' and what are my unfortunate and repetitive writing tics, and to write more long fics, and to just write anything that comes into my damn mind. it's going to be interesting... stories I haven't yet written, but intend to: - i swear to god i will finish this whipping/crucifixion story if it kills me. - there's another ignis kidnapping fic that i have a third of, and i want to get it done. - ignis/noct/luna canon divergence fixit au of doom? MAYBE. - and whatever else strikes my fancy! i'm going to keep track of kinkmeme and just, like. indulge. HOPEFULLY. i'd like to thank the academy ... court_of_ocelot for being the most reliant, kind, supportive, thoughtful, loving and excited alfa/beta reader ever (that one time i had to write a story for her without showing her was the worst); ignis whump discord for being the best damn supportive audience for ridiculously self-indulgent whump there can be; naye, gnine and xparrot for enabling me all through my ridiculous guardian yuletide adventures; and morbane for being an incredibly thorough, merciless and nurturing beta who never failed at making me think and try to do better. and overall - i've had really great response to my fics all through the years, with a lot of lovely and supportive comments, and honestly? i write fic as a sort of - conversation, storytelling, talking around the fire - and people who read the stuff you write, sometimes because they like it, and sometimes because they like you, and sometimes just because - they keep me going; no drawerfics for me! so that was fun.
