“Mommy!” the loud whine startles you out of your thoughts, breaks your concentration on the project you are working on and have been staring at for the past couple of hours.

MiSun is standing in the middle of the room, her bottom lip protruded forward into a deep pout while her eyes fill with tears. It’s her fifth breakdown in the span of two days and your heart aches for her, prompting you to leave your spot and pull her up in your arms.

“What’s wrong baby?”

You know what’s wrong and you don’t even need to try and understand what she’s uttering between her deep sobs.

It’s a beautiful day outside: warm, sunny, perfect for a walk in the park which is hands down her favourite activity.

Alas, the current times you are living in do not allow any of that but it isn’t simple to explain to a girl so little.

You feel it too, the constriction of being inside for so long, trapped not only by law but also by the fear of what would happen if you did get out, put yourself in danger and become one of the sick ones.

You cradle your daughter inside your loving arms as you quiet her down, walking through the apartment to try and find something to entertain her with.

It’s been over a month since you left the house with her and you have run out of Disney movies, cartoons, games and fairytales to fill up her time with.

You know she misses her friends, her teachers from school, her walks in the parks and just simply being a normal kid outside those four walls that make up your house.

You heave out a sigh as she stops crying, hugging you tight while asking you the same questions over and over again. You have explained a great number of times why you can’t leave the house, why you are now working from home, why she can’t see her friends or her grandparents and aunts and uncles but it must be hard to grasp for a child so little as MiSun.

The door to Namjoon’s studio opens as your daughter closes her eyes, relaxing in your loving embrace.

“She’s calm now, go back to work,” you whisper to him, offering him a soft smile. Namjoon worries a lot about MiSun, about how all of this is going to affect her growth and psyche over time and he has that worried expression on his features right now that means he’ll have a tremendous headache in a few hours.

“I wanted to take a break anyways,” he says while walking towards you, his eyes softening as he looks at the two of you hugging each other as if your life depended on it.

His lips find your forehead and you relish in the soft kiss, hum in appreciation as he wraps his arms around you so that you can stay like this for a few minutes: together.

“Why don’t we do something fun today?” He says then, his lips twisting into a little devilish grin that has your brows furrowing in both confusion and curiosity.

“Something on your mind already?”

“Let’s wait for her to wake up,” he says before leaving you there, stunned, with your daughter still soundly asleep in your arms.

The house turns quiet again and you resume your work with your kid crawled on your lap and hours pass by like this without you even realizing it.

It’s the middle of the afternoon when she wakes up from her nap, her little hands grasping your shirt to get your attention.

You smile down at her, place soft kisses all over her face causing her to giggle and fill the silence with her usual brightness.

Namjoon must hear her too because next thing you know, he’s there right behind you, looking at the two of you with a love-struck expression that has your insides feel all warm and tangled.

“Daddy!”

Your smile deepens as MiSun stretches her arms towards Namjoon, eager to be taken into his loving arms and spun around the room as he usually does—something that may or may not make your heart stop for a few seconds every single time.

“Do you want to paint your room with daddy?” He asks and you look at him questioningly but he ignores your expression and gives all of his attention to your daughter and the way she excitedly nods her head a couple of times.

This is how you find yourself sitting on her bedroom floor, colourful paint all over your jeans and fingers.

Namjoon and Misun have been giggling and laughing for the past hour, not caring a single bit about the absolute mess they have made of the room, not to mention the poor walls.

You look at them while shaking your head, yet, you can’t stop the smile from spreading on your lips at the serene expression on your daughter’s face, at the unadulterated happiness that seems to envelop her every time her little fingers draw a bright colourful line on the white walls.

It’s a mess of colours with random shapes scattered all over the walls and you are sure you’ll have to repaint it soon but, when you look at it as a whole, you can’t help but look at it in fondness.

It’s unique and so chaotic, just like MiSun is. Your little hurricane, that’s what you call her.

“Don’t you think Mommy is slacking a little bit?” Namjoon asks and immediately your daughter runs your way, throws her self in your arms and successfully spreads paint not only over your clothes but all over your cheeks and chin.

“Hey!”

She laughs and laughs and laughs and soon, so are you and so is Namjoon and it feels like an eternity has passed since you’ve laughed like this, together, since your home has felt this warm and happy.

“MiSun, don’t you think Daddy looks a little too boring with his clean clothes?” You whisper to your daughter which makes her giggle and run towards Namjoon with her palms open wide.

You watch him try to run away from her, stumble on his feet and fall on the ground while she shrieks with amusements, jumps on him and covers his white sweater with red, pink, purple—all of her favourite colours.

You take another look at the wall behind your back and a soft smile spreads over your lips.

You dip your fingers into the brightest pink you own and then, lifting yourself up you write down those words you’ve seen all over the internet but that never felt true until this very moment.

It’s going to be alright.

           Ignis and Prompto get buried by a snow drift.  Gladio and Noct get them warmed up with a little laughter.

“I think I see a foot!” Noct shouted as he raced towards the edge of the snow bank.

“Who’s?” Gladio hollered back, “Iggy or Prom?”

“Can’t tell yet.” The prince replied as he skidded to a halt and began frantically digging the snow away with his hands.  They were both wearing their crownsguard gear, so it was impossible to tell who they’d found.

“I think you got Prompto!” Gladio huffed as he continued to frantically search for Ignis.  A shiny boot heel soon appeared and Gladio grabbed hold and pulled.  Thank the six the snow bank that had collapsed was mostly powder.  There was still enough to suffocate a man but it could have been far worse.  

Noct had dug into the bank far enough to reveal Prompto’s upper legs.  The blond was kicking trying to find purchase in the ground.  He was alive that was good.  Focusing back to the other member of their party Gladio displaced more snow and found Ignis’ other leg.

Now that he had a good grip on both of Ignis’ ankles he continued to pull.  After a few seconds the snow shifted slightly and Ignis’s body came free.

Rushing forward Gladio flipped Ignis over on his back, “Iggy you okay?”

The advisor was sucking in large lung fulls of air, but he nodded and remained lying in the snow.

Squeezing his shoulder reassuringly Gladio then went to assist Noct.  Prompto seemed to be harder to extract from the bank.  Grabbing both the gunners’ legs he pulled and was able to drag Prompto free.  Breathing heavily he tried to sit up.  Unlike Ignis he’d been stuck face up in the snow.  Prompto’s face had small scratches from the ice and he was clearly trying to get his bearings.

“I used – to – to like the snow.” Prompto sputtered, “What happened?”

“I think our hunt – for a cave entrance – disturbed the area.” Ignis weakly replied as he worked to catch his breath.

“Do we have to try again?” Prompto asked worriedly.

“No!” Noct shouted, “I don’t think there’s a tomb here anyway.  We need to get back to the hotel and rest.”

For once Ignis didn’t complain.  Prompto looked like he was about to cry with relief that they were cutting the day short.

Ignis wobbled slightly once he was standing but held up his hands to indicate he was alright, “I’m fine, I wasn’t expecting to get attacked by a wall of snow today.”

Gladio nodded and motioned for the car keys, “Noct’s driving us to the hotel, you are gonna take it easy in the backseat.”

Groaning Ignis relinquished his keys and plodded along to the car.  Gladio knew Ignis had to be feeling less than okay to not even put up a fight regarding who was driving.  

Prompto seemed to be a little worse for wear.  Gladio looked over in time to see him wincing as he righted himself, “Hey blondie do you need a potion?”

“No, I’ve got a small headache.  I think a hard blob of snow hit me in the head.”

“Be sure to say something if it gets worse.” Noct requested as he stood near his friend.

“Come on, the weather doesn’t look so good we’d best get back to the hotel.” Gladio announced handing the car keys off to the prince.

They got on the road with no issue.  The incoming storm didn’t seem like it would disturb them until after they’d reached the hotel.   However, both Ignis and Prompto were shivering despite the heat in the car being turned up.

Once they’d all made it inside the room it became apparent that their normal routine had been disrupted.  Ignis stalled in the middle of the room and wavered in place.  Prompto looked miserable as he tried to rub his arms to get warm.

Deciding to take charge Gladio steered Ignis to the guest chair and pushed him down, “Relax for a moment kay?” He smiled as Ignis looked up at him.  “Prompto, do you want to take a hot shower or change and jump into bed?”

“Um the bed sounds like a good option, do we have more blankets?”

Noct sprang into action at the request and began rummaging in the closet, “I got it covered Prom, sit down on the bed and get your uniform off.”

Turning back around Gladio addressed Ignis, “Hey same goes for you, bath or bed?”

The question seemed to snap Ignis out of his stupor and he shook his head in protest, “Neither, I must get dinner started for us all.”

“Noct and I can handle that Iggy, you need to take a break.  So hot bath or bed?”

Ignis sighed in response, “I don’t know. I want to do both but the idea of having to get wet and dried off again sounds so exhausting.”

Snorting Gladio gently pulled Ignis forward in the chair, “Let me help you with your coat and boots.  You and Prompto can both hang out in the bed while we get dinner figured out.”

After five minutes Noct had helped Prompto change and he was tucked in under the covers.  The scratches on his face stood out against his pale skin.  He finally seemed to warming up though as his shivers were slowing.  Once Ignis had his pajamas on, he swiftly walked to the bed Prompto was in and jumped under the blankets.

“Wha’s going on?” Prompto mumbled.

“There is warmth in numbers Prompto.” Ignis offered as he burrowed under the covers next to the blond.

“Oh!  Good idea.” he squeaked while trying to scoot closer to the advisor.

“Gladio it looks like they are plotting against us or something.” Noct offered with a raised eyebrow.

A pair of fair haired heads was the only thing visible in the bed.  The covers had been pulled so far up it covered Prompto and Ignis’ noses.   “Are you guys warming up at all?” the shield inquired.

“Sort of.” Prompto offered.

“Same.” Ignis added.

“Huh.” Gladio announced coolly. “Noct I think we may need to help them.”

The prince looked a little worried by his statement, “How so?”

Motioning him over Gladio whispered instructions in Noct’s ear.  Ignis lifted his head up to try and hear better but there was no way he would know what was coming.

“You’re wicked.” Noct huffed.  “I got dibs on Prom.”

“And you say I’m wicked.”

“Wait what’s going on?” Prompto asked confused as he finally noticed something was happening.

Being under a layer of blankets was both a blessing and curse.  It did on one hand provide protection from wandering tickling hands.  However, it also acted as a prison if the person who owned the tickling hands was sitting on you.

Ignis squirmed trying to get away but he was stuck.  Gladio had pinned him in place under the blankets as he tickled his neck.  Being mindful to keep it light Gladio had Ignis laughing and snorting.  He’d made a point to warn Noct earlier to take it easy since their friends did have a tough afternoon.    

The sounds of laughter filled the room as prince and shield tormented their captives. After a few minutes Gladio stopped his attack and leaned back.  Noct followed suit and had a big grin on his face.  “So how about now?” Gladio asked, “Are you both still cold?”

Ignis groaned loudly, but it wasn’t believable since he was still giggling, “NO!  I’m nice and toasty now.  Right Prompto!” Ignis enthused as he nudged the blond with his arm.  

“Oh yeah, uh I’m so good.  Not even thinking about winter anymore.”

“How’s your head feel?” Noct inquired.  Gladio could see the prince was worried he might have pushed his best friend too hard.  

“It’s better actually.  I think the laughing helped.”  Prompto said earnestly, “But you don’t have to make me laugh anymore right now!  I’m still good.” He added with wide eyes.  

“Noct, can you handle making tea or hot chocolate while I go grab some takeout?” Gladio asked.

The prince agreed with a smile and Gladio crawled off the bed to go check out the food stand across the street.  He was pretty sure Noct could handle making a hot beverage.  Trying not to dwell on the thought he ordered the food.  The walk back made it evident the storm had arrived. Gladio barely made it in the lobby before the rain and sleet started.   He was thankful they were inside and not still tomb hunting.

Surprisingly Noct had managed to make hot tea and hot chocolate.  Ignis and Prompto were both cocooned in the bed with their hot beverages.  “Noct, grab the newspaper over there and spread it out over the bed.” The look his prince gave him was so comical, “We are going to eat on the bed.” Gladio instructed with a smile.

Once he understood the idea Noct rushed off to prepare the makeshift table.  The warm food and good company helped create a calm environment.  It wasn’t long after dinner was finished that Prompto nodded off.  His skin had earned some color back and he seemed content.  Ignis tried to stay up to watch TV with them, but thirty minutes into a random travel show he was softly snoring.  

“Do you think the storm will blow over by tomorrow morning?” Noct asked.

Shrugging Gladio grabbed his bag to get ready for bed, “Not sure, but if it doesn’t we can stay one more night.”

“I’d like that even if the storm is gone.” the prince announced.

“Well then you better start thinking of some good excuse to use on Iggy tomorrow morning.”

Grinning like cheshire cat Noct replied, “Nah, we can just tickle attack him again until he agrees.”

Hey, tumblr pals

So, yeah. I didn’t leave forever. I’m still here, enjoying and reblogging stuff. Here’s an update on where I am and where I’m going!

[minor rant] I’m still incrediblyfuckingpissed at tumblr’s direct attack on nsfw stuff, and I remain determined not to let it keep my hands and mind from creating whatever I want, as filthy as that may be. (especially since this type of puritan nonsense seems to hit hardest in the areas that women and nb folk gravitate toward to express sexual power, but I digress) [/rant]

I’m still writing. a lot. I’m writing for an Ignis zine, a music zine, and a friendship zine (not tagging them in this ridiculous personal ramble, but it has been an amazing and rewarding experience with each one, and made me even happier I engaged with fandom in general, and with the FFXV fandom in particular. When I say “you guys are the best,” I truly mean it, and thinking about the fandom and the people I’ve met here is what’s bringing me back.

I’m doing more stuff, too. I’ve gotten invested in a few new/old fandoms, which you may see drift across my blog (please please scream with me about the arcana, the dragon prince, marvel, check please, got, and doctor who anytime. and I swear the 2019 challenge will be writing at least one ficlet in that unique, hilarious voice that is letterkenny. also I’m playing FFXIII and Lightning and Fang are murdering me every time I power up the old PS3).

I’m also (omg) writing original fic! It’s captured my heart, energy, and inspiration in a way that feels like -- oof, this is gonna sound so cheesy -- investing in myself? All this story, all these characters, out of MY head, and I’m getting swept up in it? It’s kind of the epitome of self-indulgence. I might put some of my OC babies here on the blog, or maybe not, I don’t really know yet (aka I’m nervous). But I have a couple of short stories on my Wordpress blog, and will be adding to those too as I work things out. (Universe 1 is a futuristic scifi type of thing involving memory manipulation with one m/m couple and one bi m/f couple; universe 2 was described by a friend as “space wlw fleurentia,” and well. yeah.) I’m having fun, y’all.

I’m not abandoning any of my FFXV longfic, and I have two that aren’t published yet (one half-written, one only planned, both rarepair bonanzas because, well, you’ve met me), so I’m not going anywhere. The XV fandom is still one of my most comfortable places to write and headcanon and have fun. But I’m so excited to be expanding the number of fun places to visit, too!

If you wanna send me asks about any of the fics I’ve got going, please do! If you wanna send me prompts for minifics, I’m down. XV or any of my other hodgepodge of fandoms. Thanks for reading/caring if you slogged through all this!

I’m also probably going to be writing more of these rambly personal longposts on here going forward, mostly for my own mental health reasons haha.  If you wanna not be bothered with these types of posts, I TOTALLY understand, and you can just filter the “hope talks” tag. 

Happy Pride month, happy weekend, high fives all around.

Updates every Monday

The rest of the way to the power plant was quiet. Any other daemons that showed up were generally too far away or easily outrun thanks to the truck. Ignis directed Gladio to stop at the guard station that was supposed to be manned when they arrived on a long stretch of road that lead to the powerplant.

“Be careful, Iggy,” Gladio said as he kept the truck running.

He didn’t like the fact Ignis was going alone, but if things were truly as bad as Ignis suspected, they might have to quickly regroup somewhere else. Prompto must have had the same feeling because Gladio heard the distinct sound of him undoing the safety. Good, Gladio thought, knowing that he would not be much help behind the wheel if something attacked ignis. Watching Ignis walk up to the station, Gladio could see part of his reflection in the window. Those green eyes grew wide, probably at whatever he saw beyond the window pane. Gladio didn't need Ignis to voice what he saw, his white face and green eyes were enough. Gladio just hoped the others didn't the same reaction as he had.

Ignis gave them the all clear.

“What do you think it means, Igs?” Prompto asked from the bed of the truck. “I know the guys who were here, they wouldn’t have just up and left.”

“You’re not wrong, but there is no indication that anyone has been here for quite some time. There was dust on the panels.” Ignis climbed back into his seat. He turned to the group in the bed of the truck. His face having returned to its normal complexion. Whatever he saw, Gladio was thankful it wasn't the mauled bodies of the guards, but that might mean the daemons were getting a bit bolder or there was a monster or two loose too. “This power plant must have been compromised before even now. We should stay alert and at the ready.”

There was a round of nodding heads. The techs didn’t exactly look happy, but then Gladio couldn’t blame them. This could mean any of their deaths.

“So where to? The front of the power plant?”

Ignis nodded. “It’s best we get there as soon as possible to assess the situation.”

“Right. Noct, you sure you’re up for this with your back?” Gladio asked, looking at his prince through the rearview mirror.

“Yeah. Just no crazy stunts,” Noct said as he took out a pair of daggers from the armiger.

Gladio put the car back into drive and sped to the front of the power plant. The plant itself was a rather large building with different thick cables running in different directions. Some followed the path towards Tandem, others to the north and east. For a moment Gladio realised there might be other cities or outposts like Tandem that would be without power. While it seemed Tandem could certainly hold it’s own, others probably wouldn’t be that lucky. They really needed to get the power back on.

“Hey, Gladio, watch out up ahead. I think there are some goblins running on some of the lines.” Noctis pointed to a few of them, though Gladio couldn't tell where exactly they were.

“Should I take them out?” Prompto asked as he readied his gun once more. It reassured Gladio to know they had someone who could do distance attacks like this. It made fighting that much easier.

“A waste of bullets I’m afraid. If they ambush us later, we’ll deal with them, but let’s save as much ammo that you have for what’s truly inside of the power plant,” Ignis said tapping his hand on his leg.

Gladio could feel the nervous tension coming from him, but there was nothing he could say or do to really relieve that. No, they would need to get the power plant back up and running for that to be a thing. It took another two minutes for Gladio to pull up and park the truck before they were at the front steps of the power plant.

“Right, let’s go over some tactics before we--”

Gladio glared at the sudden ringtone that went off. Ignis fumbled with his pocket, giving the shield an apologetic look. Gladio shook his head, as he turned back to the others. Whoever was calling, it had to be important if Ignis took it.

“Noct and I are best fighting together. Though with the looks of the powerplant, I don’t think it’s going to be wise for me to use my sword, so I’m going to use my shield for the most part Noct.” Gladio patted the buckler on his arm. “You’ll be taking up point then.”

Noct nodded, switching the daggers for his engine blade. “Got it.”

“Pelna, Axis, you two know the power plant as much as Ignis. How many ways to the centre are there?”

“Three in total, though we already passed one. So two now.” Pelna pulled out a map for Gladio. He used a small flashlight he clipped to his shirt earlier to read it. He pointed to one spot and then another. “These two here.”

“Good. We’ll split into two groups--”

“What? Bloody hell. Tell her that Nyx is better used in--Yes, I’m well aware of her position--”

Gladio glanced over to Ignis who started pacing. It was clear things were not as easy back in Tandem as it had seemed. Pelna shrunk a little seeming to know exactly who Ignis was talking about. Giving the hunter a questionable look, Pelna only shook his head. Best not to know at the moment. Right, they had a mission to do after all.

“Anyway, we’ll split the groups. Noctis and I will take Prompto for sure. You take Ignis with you and the rest of the techs.” Gladio scanned the map, trying to remember all the turns they would need to take in case Prompto wouldn’t know where to go. "You'll need more protection with the added techs."

“With all due respect, take Ignis with you. We’ll take the safer route here with these three techs. You take that one, the more dangerous path because we’ll need both routes cleared anyway,” Pelna said. He was glad to be back on the topic what they were doing here rather than on Ignis.

“Why?” Noct asked, staring at the moment.

“For one thing, buddy, we need access to this hallway here and that one. Once we get the core of the power plant running again with Igni’s magic, we’ll need to reboot the system. It’s why we have more than just one tech with us.” Prompto pointed at the three and then back to himself. As much as techs were technically vulnerable, they were important when it came to running the power plant.

“I see. And how are we going to stay in contact? Because I’m not waiting around for you in case something happens.” Gladio shifted his weight.

“Or the other way around. Just because you fought the daemon earlier, doesn’t mean that we’re not just as capable. You forget, we’ve survived this long without you around,” Axis said, matching Gladio’s stance, almost sizing him up. “We don’t need some hero suddenly. That I can promise you.”

“Nah, you already got one of those.” Gladio was glad to see Pelna and Axis still ready to fight.

“Damn straight. Just give us your number, we’ll just keep in contact in case there is something that happens.” Axis pulled out his phone.

Shit, would their phones work? They were all set up with Insomnia in mind and with Insomnia in ruins, Gladio pulled out his phone. Pointless really, the thing was dead. Probably died within a month of being frozen. Shit. Noct shrugged. Gladio wondered if Noct had tried to use his phone earlier.

“Uhh-”

“Just get in contact with me Axis,” Prompto said with a bright smile. “You got Igs’s number too.”

Gladio relaxed a little, glad to have the blonde along. Prompto winked.

“I apologize for that,” Ignis said as he rejoined them. Irate was one of the words Gladio would describe Ignis, but beneath that there was something else there too. Whatever, so long as Ignis focused on the battle, Gladio would help him deal with the phone call later. “Now, do we have a plan?”

“Yup. You and me are going with Noct and the big guy. We’re taking this route while the others take this one.” Prompto beamed up at Ignis. How the hell the kid could be so happy about this sort of situation was beyond Gladio. But then Prompto had been cheerful most of the time he saw him. Maybe it was just the way Prompto was. Not a bad thing to have around, especially with how dark the world seemed now.

“Alright, then. Whenever everyone is ready.” Ignis patted Prompto’s shoulder, giving him a small smile.

It didn’t take long for Gladio and Noct to delve up some of the potions from the armiger, explaining how to use them. Ignis didn't seem pleased by the action, but the others at least thanked them for a means to heal each other if the need arose. While the others wouldn’t have access to the armiger to store things, the potions were still valuable and worked without Noct needing to be nearby. The techs carried more than Axis or Pelna, but then the techs would be more for support rather than for fighting it seemed, sort of the way Prompto acted, though none of them had guns. Gladio didn’t worry too much about how they were going to fight, more he was steeling himself for whatever they might find in the power plant if the goblins above them were anything to go by. Shutting off a whole power plant was not something mere goblins could have done. They would find something else inside. He would stake his Crownsguard badge on it.

“Hey, Gladio?” Noct asked as Prompto double checked his ammo. The two were sitting on the edge of the truck bed.

“Yeah?” Gladio came over, crossing his arms. It was clear as day that something was eating at Noct.

“....You’re not going to give me hell for not wearing the thing?” Noct looked anywhere but at Gladio, who sighed.

“Noct, I can’t make you do something you don’t want. You get about as stubborn as Garula. So, no I’m not going to give you hell.” Gladio could tell this was more than just about the ring. Noct was never really good at talking about shit, but Gladio was patient. Not always, but sometimes. Eventually, whatever Noct wanted to get out would.

“Even if you’re right?” Noct glanced at the two hunters ushering the techs in the direction they needed to go. Prompto glanced up, but was wise enough not to say anything.

“If you feel guilty, do something about it. Decide. Either put on the ring and give them access to the armiger and magic, or don’t. I’m not going to make you feel better about not doing something you should. And I’m not going to make you do it either for the same reason.”

He could see Noct biting his lip. The kid was smart and could play games, but this was one Gladio was not going to entertain. Not this time. There was more at stake than just some pastry he didn’t get or training that he skipped. No, Noct was playing with lives. He needed to do the right thing and he would have to do it on his own. Six forbidden they would get separated and Noct would have to make some decisions on his own. Gladio just hoped Noct would be ready if it ever happened. These sorts of decisions made or break the kind of king of Noct would become. If they actually restored him to a throne.

“.....” Noct opened his mouth a few times only to close it.

“Better hurry before they’re gone and out of range.” Gladio stared at his prince, hoping for once he would just do his duty. Even if these hunters were not Lucians from Insomnia, they were still here.

“Axis! Pelna! Wait.” Noct turned to face them. “Ignis, Prompto, you too. T-There’s something we need to do before we head out.”

Gladio could see his shoulders shaking. Letting Pelna and Axis access to the same magic meant revealing who they were and honestly, he didn’t much care. Ignis had called Noct his highness a few times already. If the hunters thought it was just a nickname, well they were in for a treat. Noct and Gladio were in a weird position anyway and the more allies they had the better.

“What is it Noct?” Prompto asked, practically hopping over.

“Yeah, we got a job to do kid.” Axis raised an eyebrow, as he and Pelna came back over.

“...Remember how you asked me if you could learn to warp?”

The four nod.

“There is. I just…..What I tell you can’t get out. At least not yet,” Noct said as he shrugged. “Prom and Iggy already know, but I’m actually from Insomnia. The city that’s beneath Tandem. I was frozen along with Gladio in hopes of securing a future my father didn’t think was possible then. But that’s not all. The reason we’re able to use magic and conjure weapons is because of the armiger.”

Gladio put a hand on Noct’s shoulder, squeezing it reassuringly. They were doing the right thing. He wasn’t sure if there was a way to terminate the connection once made, but if they needed to cross that bridge they would figure it out. For now, he just had to help Noct get through this.

"With the exception of Prompto and I, we don't have this armiger," Ignis clarified when Axis glared at them.

“I can give you access to it. The armiger, it will make your magic stronger,” Noct held up a ring looking at Prompto and Noct. “If I put this one and keep wearing it, I can give that power to others." This time he looked at Axis and Plena. "Their own armiger and their own magic. It’s all tied back to this crystal that the empire has, but since we’re still able to use it, the crystal is still very much there. So, I ask. Do y-you want me to give you that power?”

Silence filled the air as the four stood there. Ignis broke it first.

“Your majesty, as much as I appreciate the gesture, it’s clear you’re not ready to accept that burden. Being close to you and able to use the magic as I have is enough for me.” Ignis nudged Prompto who nodded.

“Yeah! When you’re ready we can do all that magic stuff, but only then.” Prompto held up his arm like Noct had shown him before. Noct gave his arm a bump and returned the smile before turning to Axis and Pelna. It was hard to gauge what those two were thinking, well perhaps more so Axis than Pelna.

“I’m with Ignis. We don’t want you to do something you don’t want, but umm...why did you call him ‘his majesty’?” Pelna stared at Noct as if the kid had suddenly grown another head or something. Gladio couldn't help the small chuckle.

“That is because he is the prince of Lucis. Or I suppose king now,” Ignis said without missing a beat.

“K-King? Fucking Six, Axis, we’ve been--”

“Yeah,” Axis glared at Ignis and then at Noct. “What about this guy?”

“Me?” Gladio asked, scoffing. “I’m just a shield.”

“Gladio!” Noct glared. “You’re more than just that. Geez. Anyway, what about you, Axis?”

“I don’t need some foreign king’s power. No, I’ll be fine. We all will.” Axis turned away from Noct, who flinched at the words 'foreign king'.

That was how this world saw Noct. He was a foreign king to them. Things were different. Maybe restoring the throne wasn't going to be something they could do. Gladio thought about the reason for them having gone through the cryofreeze in the first place. Axis stopped short only to look at Noct. “

You shouldn’t offer that kind of power to just anyone. You don’t know who you can trust just yet, right?”

“Axis!” Pelna rushed after Axis, who simply left after giving that piece of advice.

Noct let out a long sigh, probably from the relief of having not being pressured into wearing the ring. Gladio was actually surprised none of them wanted to use the magic that only the king could offer. But more than that, that they all seemed to think of Noctis as a person. It dawned on Gladio that these people had survived years without a king, or a prince for that matter. These people didn’t know what it meant to be connected to a king and the crystal, like Cor and he was. Maybe, they didn’t need to use the crystal power, because maybe they didn’t need to restore the monarchy. They still had to take down the Niffs, but their futures after that, well it was just as open if they survived that long.

The sound of his doorbell ringing relentlessly finally annoys Noctis into waking up, grumbling as he slides out of bed. He finds his friends on the other side of his door, them smiling and looking at him with intrigue.

“You both are jerks for ditching me.” Noctis snaps and then yawns.

“Aw, don’t be like that,” Prompto chuckles and slings an arm around his shoulder as they head inside, then gives a wink. “I bet you still had a good time without us there, maybe met someone nice?”

He did, but wait, does that mean-

“I brought you some hotcakes I made this morning.” Ignis says and hands him a Tupperware container.”

“Oh, thanks Iggy.” Noctis grabs a fork and stands against his counter, digging in and looking to his friends, them staring again with intrigue. “What?”  

“So tell us, what’d you do after we left? Did you meet anyone new by chance?”

Noctis furrows his brows. His stomach begins to knot and a pang of dejection washes over him. Gladio hadn’t come over to him of his own volition, he was asked to. But something didn’t add up, he hasn’t told his friends yet that his preferences lean towards men. Hell, he just realized only a few months ago after falling hard for a male teacher he assisted. So how and why was Gladio chosen?

The black-haired man sighs while shaking his head then gives them a pointed look before taking another bite. “Yeah, I did. Guess that was your doing?”

“Oh come on bud, don’t be mad. We just wanted you to have some fun.”

“I don’t need you two to set me up on pity dates.”

“I’m sorry Noct. We thought it would help you out.” Ignis says, looking a tad remorseful. “You’re terribly shy and don’t leave our sides when out.”

“Yeah! You get really awkward and standoffish around people” Prompto chimes in.

“Plus she’s a nice young lady, just started as a receptionist at my office.”

Noctis freezes. She? The person they tried hooking him up with was a woman? So then Gladio wasn’t asked to flirt with him. He liked him for himself. This makes Noct grin smugly.

“Huh, guess you guys were wrong about me then.”

“Wait, so you met someone else?” the blonde asks, eyes widening comically. “Dude, who? Was she hot?”

“Not telling.”

“Aw, don’t be a jerk.”

“So you didn’t meet with Jessenia? Oh dear, I’m going to have to write her an apology note then. Maybe some flowers, box of chocolates too.” the glasses-wearing man says and puts a reminder on his phone.

“Come on Noct, don’t leave your bros hanging. Tell us what she was like, did you get her number? Are you two meeting up again.” Prompto asks and nudges his friend.

“Again, not telling.”

Prompto lets out an overblown whine as Ignis goes stonefaced like he’s deep in thought. Then a subtle bit of irritation flashes onto his face before his stoic mask is back on.

“It’s a man, isn’t it?”

“Wha?” Is Prompto’s reaction, looking between his two friends.

Noctis stops eating, his face turning a deep red color and eyes down-turning to the floor. Leave it to Ignis to somehow ass pull the correct assumption even though he’s usually terrible at reading the atmosphere.

He sighs and sets the container down, knowing he’s going to end up losing his appetite after the incoming barrage.

“Yeah.”

“What? Noct are you- Umm- So you're uh.” Prompto stutters before shaking his head, looking slightly hurt at his friend. “Why didn’t you tell us?”

“I- I really only discovered it recently myself. I thought that maybe it was just a one-time feeling but the guy I met last night, we had a connection. Sorry, I should have said something sooner.”

The blonde smiles and softly knocks his friend in the shoulder with his fist. “It’s all right dude, just next time talk to us about it. Right, Iggy?”

“Uh, yes, sure.” the man says, shifting about then giving a friendly smile. “We will always support you Noct, even if the information is, surprising.”

“Thanks, you guys.”

“So now that is out,” Prompto begins and nudges his friend like before. “what did he look like?”

Noctis chuckles softly. “As cliche as it is he was tall, dark, and handsome. Really nice too, we played pool and chatted for a while.”

“What’s his name? Does he work? Where does he live?” Ignis grills the younger man.

Noct can’t help but roll his eyes. “His name is Gladio, he works at a bookstore, and lives with his parents but is saving money to move out. He said they’re really strict.”

“How old is he?”

“Early to mid-twenties, I believe.”

The sandy-haired man’s eyebrows arch up. “And he lives with his parents still?”

“Iggy, I lived with my dad until I was twenty. Enough with the interrogation.”

“Just worried about you, you don’t know who this young man really is. For all you know he could be a prostitute or a thief preying on naive people.”

“Jeez, thanks Igs.” Noctis huffs. “If he was any of those, wouldn’t he have tried to come home with me last night?”

“That’s true.” Prompto says and gives Ignis a nudge. “Cut him some slack, this guy may actually be genuine and bring our awkward dork out of his shell.”

“Wow, I feel so loved.”

“Very well. So what do you have planned for the day?”

“Pick up my pants and blazer from the dry cleaners. Then I’m going to go over the syllabus’ for my classes tomorrow.”

“I see. Would you like for me to come over then and help you look over it? I can make us dinner?”

“You don’t have to, besides today is your day off since you got dragged in yesterday. Enjoy it and lounge around your apartment, be lazy.”

“That is a waste of time when I could be doing something fruitful.”

“And that is why you got an ulcer.”

Ignis sighs and shakes his head. “Fine, I will try to relax.”

“Well, I think it’s time for me to scoot.” Prompto says and flashes a big smile at his friend. “Congrats buddy, hope things work out for you, I mean it.”

“Thanks, Prompto.”

“I should be leaving as well, need to stop by the grocer, running low on Ebony. Have a splendid day Noct.”  

“You too, see ya.”

The two men begin to leave but Ignis stops and turns back around at his friend, staring intently at his face.

“I do hope you plan on shaving, it wouldn’t be professional for you to look unkempt on your first day.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know.” he says and waives his friend off.

Noctis sighs and leans against his island counter, shaking his head. While it wasn’t how he had planned coming out if it proved to be true, at least it wasn’t as bad as he thought. Although there is still his father. He tosses the container into the sink and looks at his wallet, seeing a white note sticking out of it. Gladio’s number. Should he possibly try to call him? No, he may be in trouble if his parents are as strict as he said and Gladio did say to call him later. He does wonder though if he is all right, he seemed nervous when he said his parents were coming for him. Maybe he should- no, he’ll wait.

So Noct gets going for the day, taking a quick shower, then gets dressed and starts to head out. He glances at the note again, feeling a fluttering sensation in his belly and his chest become tight.

While out, he finds that his mind constantly wanders back to the young man, especially when he catches a glimpse of someone tall with brown hair or hears a deep rumbling laughter. Noct feels ridiculous, like a love-struck teen who can’t wait to see their crush after being away from them for a day. He tries to clear his head however when he arrives at the dry cleaners, he sees a bookstore down the street, remembering that Gladio works at one and should be there. Would it seem stalkerish if he stopped by to see if Gladio worked there?

Throwing caution to the wind, Noctis heads into the bookstore after picking up his items, scouring about but not finding the young man and then learning from a clerk Gladio didn’t work there. A bit downtrodden, he heads back to his car and goes to leave, but stops and looks at his phone. Maybe he could see if there were any other bookstores nearby, he could check them out, see if the young man is there and find out how he is doing.

Well, there is apparently way more bookstores then he initially thought and there was no way he could stop at them all. That would be too stalkerish and a waste of gas. So he decides to just check out the closet ones and if Gladio is not at any of them he’ll just leave it at that. He does really want to see him again though so he hopes for the best. Not at the first, nor the second, or the third. Noctis sighs deeply as he sits outside the fourth, a quaint little bookstore that isn’t like all the chain stores with their bland decorum while trying to be hip with the younger generation.

Noctis heads inside and gets a strong earthy scent along with a hint of flowers; the smell reminds him of Gladio. His heart begins to pound in his chest and he begins trembling from nerves. A female clerk walks by and smiles at him, before greeting the older man.

“Hi, anything I could help you with today?”

“Oh umm, b, by chance is there a uh, a young man named Gladio that works umm here?” he says, trying to act normal and not like a flustered dork.

The young woman gives him a once-over, then goes wide-eyed and smiles. “Just a second.” she says and scurries off to the back.

Noctis can feel his chest tighten, he becomes sweaty and nervous. Then the man steps out from the backroom. It’s like one of those cheesy scenes in the movies where the main character’s love interest enters the room and everything around them freezes while they continue to move, all the attention focused on them. But then Noctis feels his heart drop as Gladio looks at him; he doesn’t look at him with annoyance or disgust, he has a soft smile on his face along with woe. One of his cheeks was bruised and swollen like he had been hit. Despite that, Gladio still gives him that sweet look like he had the night before, making Noctis cheeks heat up.

“Hey, fancy meeting you here.”

“Yeah, I was in the area so I uh stopped in.” Noctis says and chuckles embarrassedly. “See if you by chance worked here.”

“Huh, lucky guess. Must be fate.” Gladio says and flashes a flirty look at the older man.

Noct feels his heart thump rapidly. “Yeah.” He looks up at the young man and smiles before furrowing his brows, reaching his hand up to cup his swollen cheek. “Were you hit?”

“Oh, that? No, I got angry and slammed my door shut, it knocked a plaque I had hanging over the frame down. Dumbass me just stood there and watched it fall before it thwacked me on the face.”

Noctis frowns. He doesn’t believe him, he’d seen similar things and heard similar excuses from kids being abused. But Gladio wasn’t a kid, so it’s not like he could call child services. So he dejectedly lets it go.

“So how badly are you grounded? No tv or phone?”

“No dessert too.” Gladio snorts. “It wasn’t too bad, just a lot of yelling and door slamming. Plus I have to stay at my mother’s on the weekends since my dad is at work and can’t ‘babysit’ me.”

“You really do need to get your own place, that sounds horrible.”

“Yeah, in time.” he says and bites his lip. “So I uh get done in a couple hours, would you maybe wanna get a bite to eat with me?”

“Are you even allowed too?”

“Yeah, my mom lets me have a bit more freedom then my dad does. Plus I usually get something to eat on my way home so if I’m late she doesn’t fuss.”

“Ah, okay. Where would you like to meet up?”

“There’s a diner by the bus stop down a few blocks, that sound good?”

“Yeah, sounds great.” Noctis says and smiles as his cheeks rosy. Then a thought strikes him. “Oh, since you’re staying at your mother’s on the weekend, I can give you my number then.”

“Sure. I can use the house phone so my calls can’t be monitored by my dad.”

Noctis quickly scribbles his number down onto the back of a receipt he had stuffed into his pocket and hands it over, exchanging bashful smiles. They say their goodbyes with Gladio heading back to work and Noct deciding instead of going all the way back home he’ll kill time by putzing around the nearby mall. Maybe he’ll look into some new ties while there.

An hour goes by and his phone begins to vibrate, an unknown number flashing across his screen. He’s apprehensive at first but answers it anyway.

“Hello?”

“Oh! Awesome! So you didn’t give me a fake number.” Gladio chuckles from the other end. “Hey uh, business is kinda slow so Karis is letting me leave early. Wanted to let you know I’m heading over, if you don’t mind eating around five.”

“That’s fine, I’ll stop by and pick you up. I’m over at the mall.”

“Yeah, okay, see you then.”

A wave of giddiness overcomes him. He hasn’t felt this excited since his early twenties when he and his then-girlfriend went out for the first time. That was the last time he dated or felt attracted to a woman. She broke his heart badly. Hopefully, it ends up better this time around.

Noctis finds Gladio waiting outside the bookstore and picks him up, them bantering awkwardly and flirtatiously as they head to the diner. But as they arrive, the younger man’s face goes white, his eyes widen and he bites his lower lip before quickly shifting his large frame out of sight.

“Shit.”

“Gladio? What’s wrong?”

“My fucking stepmother is there with my sister and stepbrothers.”

Noctis furrows his brows and looks through the large windows of the diner, spotting a middle-aged woman with three kids. He looks down at Gladio and catches the slight look of fear and brokenness in his eyes along with his panicked breathing, it making Noct’s stomach turn for some reason he can’t quite put his finger on. Without a word, he puts the car in reverse and drives away but Gladio remains in his hunkered over position, his breathing still frantic. In a move that would send Ignis into a tizzy, he pulls one hand away from the steering wheel and gently touches Gladio’s cheek before petting his hair. This seems to do the trick and his breathing returns to normal before sitting back up with a sigh.

“Gladio?” Noct asks with deep concern.

“Sorry, I have bad anxiety. I was afraid she’d catch us together.”

Noctis looks to him with remorse and gently rests his hand against his face again. “You want to go someplace else or do you want me to drop you off at your mother’s?”

“If, if it’s alright with you,” Gladio begins and turns to look at him, his amber eyes looking harrowed. “could we stop someplace secluded? I want to cool my head before I go home, I’ll give you gas money too.”

“You don’t have to give me money, I’ll do it. I used to take this one kid out for ice cream after school because he didn’t want to go home until his mother got done with work. Found out the neighbor that was watching him had been touching him inappropriately.”

“Ah, you sound like one of those do-gooders you read about it the paper.”

Noctis smiles. “Yeah, I like helping people. Even though I get really shy and flustered at first, I still try my best.”

“Wish there were more people like you out there in the world, maybe it wouldn’t be so rotten.”

Noct quickly glances at Gladio, noticing the pained look on his face. A thought pops into his head that would kill two birds with one stone. “Hey, I live not far from here. Why don’t we stop at my place and I’ll order out. That way you can clear your head.”

A soft blush forms on the brunette's cheeks. “Oh, yeah, that sounds good.”

Noctis continues to drive until he arrives at the carport for his apartment complex, shutting the vehicle off though neither exits right yet.

“Hey, thanks Noctis.” Gladio says and looks over at the black-haired man, smiling fondly. “Seems my gamble going and talking to you last night didn’t end in a mess.” His smile grows into one of teasing. “Or my dead corpse dumped in the river.”

“You thought I could’ve been a serial killer?” Noctis laughs.

“Hmm, people never suspect the cute ones.” Gladio’s eyes half lid as he looks at the older man, a sliver of a pink tongue swiping across his dry lips. “Hey umm, Noct?”

“Hmm?”

“Can I, can I kiss you?”

The thirty-year-old’s heart pounds in his chest and his body begins to tremble. Kiss? He hasn’t kissed anyone in years, not since his girlfriend. Will he still any good at it? Is Gladio teasing him? Is it too soon? Should he say no, that he wants to wait? His mind continues to race, even as his body begins moving on its own, leaning towards the young man who tilts his head.

Their lips brush momentarily before pressing them together in a tender kiss. It feels exhilarating and he wants more. Noctis rests his palms against Gladio’s cheeks, deepening the kiss that becomes needy and carnal, large tan hands gripping him around his waist. Tongues explore about in each other's mouths and dance about together, soft moans escaping out until Noct gasps when he gets cupped through his pants.

Blue eyes stare deeply into brown, both filled with lust, as the two pant quickly and continue to hold each other. Noctis is the first to pull back, opening his door and stepping out but he pulls Gladio with him, then he pins him to the side, capturing his lips once again as the younger man runs his hands down his back before gripping his ass. Noctis pulls back once again, their lips separating and making a loud smack, and takes hold of Gladio’s hand leading him towards the elevator. He has never done anything like this before but the feelings he’s experiencing are intoxicating and he wants more, wants to feel the pleasure of doing something scandalous. Taboo.

- I do not care what race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, nationality, or political party you are in; I only care about your character, whether you are a decent individual, how you treat others, and what your interests are

- It is perfectly fine to disagree with me on a subject (such as a fandom); just be respectful about it, though

- You are allowed to ask me what I do not know (for instance, “what are your thoughts on (any Star Wars character) and (any G.I. Joe character?”); I will say something along the lines of “I do not know;” it is better to ask me things I do know, though

- Think before you ask

Anyways, that is all I have to say, for now.  Feel free to ask me now, ask me later, or do not ask, at all (either way, I do not mind).

This is FirebirdTransAm68 signing out.

Next Chapter |  Previous Chapter

Live for the Night on AO3

Tags: FF15 TIME TRAVEL. Prompto centered. BAMF Prompto No one dies (except for evil scientists and the Empire of bad people but that’s normal). Confused Kingsglaives, Crownsguards and a ton of people.

Summary: When Prompto wakes up the past with some magical additions, he sets out to change everything.

Things to keep in mind: I’ve seen only ff15 brotherhood, Episode Prompto and parts of the ff15 game so some of what I’ve written will obviously be off. Additionally, I will be throwing various parts of cannon in the trash.

Chapter Two

XXxxxXX

It took several buses and three hours before he was outside of Insomnia, and entering Liede. The area didn’t look any different from his memories, still dusty and covered in sand, and although there was a car here and there on the road, Prompto spent most of the time walking along the street. He didn’t bother to hitchhike, firstly because he knew how well that turned out. People in the borderlands were a cautious bunch and strange foreigners in the area meant trouble especially ones that looked like Niffs. So Prompto intended to walk the few miles to his destination even if it meant wasting some time. But walking through Leide was important for another reason.

He could get a general idea of the Imperial forces in the area.

So far he’d seen four airdrop ships and a number of suspicious vehicles on the road, and while that was considerably less than the amount that had consistently attacked the group in the future-that-wasn’t it was still a high number. It was little wonder why Insomnia had fallen the last time around if even in the past the Empire was this close to the walls.

Walking into Taka’s Diner Prompto walks up to the counter and waits for his turn in line. He knows he’s probably going to have to work his way up the hunter ranks if he wants to earn enough money to complete his mission, but he still hasn’t made up his mind about how much time he can devote to hunting. Ideally, he wants at least enough money for his travel and a couple dozen potions but he might have to do without depending on how long it takes. 

The person in front of him moves away and Prompto finds himself before Taka.

“What can I do for you?” He asks, accent nearly dropping vowels. He’s drying off some cutlery, presumably after he’d finished dishes

“I want to pick up a local hunt,” Prompto tells him, hand in his pockets. He knows he probably doesn’t look threatening enough, or even experienced enough like he did the first time around but at least he was in a group. This time around it might be a bit harder because he looks like a sheltered high school kid.

Taka raises an eyebrow, a frown on his face, looking at him pensively.

Already Prompto can tell this is going to be annoying.

“And how do I know that you aren’t just going to go out there and die, kid?” Taka retorts looking at him now, frowning deeply. He’s not drying cutlery anymore, his arms are crossed and he’s looking down at Prompto a hairs width between annoyed and frustrated himself like Prompto’s being the unreasonable one.

It’s a feeling that Prompto has seen many times, particularly on Ignis, but it’s ten times more annoying when he knows he’s right.

He’s tempted to reveal his armiger, to prove that he’s experienced in fighting enough to get access to the armiger of Lucis but he knows revealing magic like that in a crowded place like the Hammerhead Diner is just asking to get himself on the shit list of both Imperials and the locals and is decidedly stupid so he settles to prove Taka wrong in another way.

Taking out his camera from the folds of his jacket he flips through the film before turning the camera to Taka. He’d picked photos of himself and a monster in the same frame with as little of the rest of the gang as possible. He waits while Taka connects the dots before he speaks.

“I’m picking up hunts ‘cause I need the money not because I want to go off on a suicidal quest or I think I’m hot stuff.” He says watching as Taka raises an eyebrow at the photos but his whole expression changes as he realizes that he’s not talking to a runaway or a glory hunter looking to get some fame.

“Fine, if you think you can handle it.” He says sliding a slip of paper towards Prompto. “Bring me seven Saborclaws and you’ve got yourself some gil.”

Prompto thanks him and takes the paper before walking out. If he remembers correctly there are some Debased Coins in the area behind the diner he might be able to find and maybe use get some quick cash.

Stuffing the wanted poster into his pocket he makes his ways outside to the back of the Diner. Sure enough, there are the Debased Coins he remembered finding years ago. He doesn’t find as many as he remembers from the future but the two he finds is enough to get him a decent meal at the diner and an additional potion before he sets out on his hunt.

He eats by the only radio in the diner listening to news from Crown City taking note of the things that sound a little off. Like the fact that there’s been another protest by Outsiders or the fact that the Kingsglavie is asking for more recruits before he leaves the diner.

The fact that the Kingsglavie was asking for recruits was never a good thing.

XXxxxxXX

The desert around Hammerhead is still as annoying as he remembers but he manages to get the Saborclaws in two hours and stock up enough magic in his Elemacy jars that the trip wasn’t a total waste but it was still exasperating in a way he hadn’t anticipated.

As a long ranged fighter without a tank to distract the monster’s attention, he had to work twice as hard to get the job done because he kept getting ambushed.

Not just by Sabortusks but also Reapertails and it was annoying how much it happened. One minute he’d be gathering some fire magic by the Haven north of Hammerhead and the next he’d be fighting five Reapertails…and then four Sabortusks and then two Duohorns. It was ridiculous.

Still, he counted himself lucky with how quick he was able to manage the mission and returned to Taka’s Diner, tired but pleased with how fast the hunt was over. Thankfully he also managed to pick up some valuable vendor items to sell while he was out looking for Saborclaws that he could sell.

He made a small detour to the shop where he sold off the vendor junk, making sure to count the money he received in exchange. He refused to let himself be shortchanged because he was lazy. Counting the money up and adding it to the amount left in the armiger he had three thousand gil. Not a large amount by any means but it was a decent start. Trekking back to the Diner he returned the wanted poster and the Saborclaws he had picked up from his kills.

Taka raised an eyebrow at him but stamped the sheet anyway handing Prompto both his money and a hi-elixir. 

“Up for another hunt, kid?” He asked shifting through some papers on the breakfast bar.

Prompto smiles thinly. “Always.” A hint of something more behind his smile but Prompto does what he’s done all his life and pushes the memories down, and away from him. He tries not to think of another time and place where he’s been asked the same question but it’s hard because even though he doesn’t know Taka well enough for it to mean anything, the question still brings up memories.

Taka nods and slides another sheet of paper to Prompto. “I need this done as soon as possible and…”He trails off staring straight into Prompto’s eyes. “I’ve got something else for you if you feel up to the task…”

Prompto blinks. “Whatcha’ got?” He says glanced over the wanted poster ever so briefly. Kill five Mesmenir, nothing much. He more interested in what Taka wants for him to do.

“I need some ingredients for the Diner.” He starts. “Getting food out here is a pain and delivery isn’t always good so I need a hunter to find me some berries. Ulwaat berries. As many as you can find. Bring me some and I’ll give you some meals free.”

Prompto’s eyes light up at the last part.

Without Ignis to cook excellent meals Prompto thought he was going to have to live off of cup noodles until he got back to Lucis, but maybe he didn’t have to. Besides, even if he only got one meal on the house it was still a meal he didn’t have to pay for.

“Got it. I’ll be back.”

XXxxxxXX

He doesn’t immediately find many Ulwaat berries, but all the fighting he does is enough to bring in vendor items that almost makes up for the fact that he still hasn’t completed either of his new missions.

He’s killed three Mesmenir but the last two are proving to be more elusive than he thought and it was taking longer than he anticipated. Already the sun is starting to dip and he’s too far away to actually make it back to Hammerhead in time before darkness hits that he resigns himself to camping for the night.

Digging into the armiger for the world map he scans for a campsite. While he knows there are a number of campsites in the area, he needs the map if he wanted the exact locations. Getting his bearings took only a few minutes before he was setting off. There was a haven less than a mile away that he could make camp at if he hurried.

The desert was starting to pick up and the sand was getting everywhere even though there was still an hour before dark. He hadn’t seen any more monsters after the last set of Reapertails but the sounds he was starting to hear were making his fingers twitch. After living through the ten years of darkness the sound of demons had left its mark on him.

Spotting the haven, he spares a minute to collect some more of the Elemacy surrounding the flat stone. If he gets it before nightfall, he’ll be able to mine the elements again tomorrow when the element stores replenish and save him a trip later.

He moves back to the haven and starts setting up the camp for the night. He sets up the old worn green tent that was used on the original Road Trip in practiced motions that he knew would make Gladio proud. The tent has a few holes and there are several places where it’s brunt black either through a monster attack or a spell misfired but it’s familiar and reassuring in a way that Hammerhead wasn’t.

But even as he thinks that there’s still an emptiness that takes root when he suddenly realizes that the tent that was once too small for four grown men is far too large for one. He takes out his phone and turns the speaker on to music so he can have some noise, instead of a deafening silence but it’s a poor substitute for people. He snacks on his rather meager dinner of baby carrots and peanut butter feeling sad and happy all at once because there is just so much he misses and sees everywhere he looks.

But there’s hope. Because he’s here and that’s enough for now. Because his friends are alive. The thought of which is comforting.

As he gets into his sleeping bag he turns off his phone and hoping for good dreams drifts off to sleep.

XXxxxxxXX

Dearest child….

…You have my blessing…

Fly to your dreams…child of the sun…

As Prompto shifts in his sleep, a warm white light crystallizes above him, changing and transforming itself into a clear stone on a necklace that strings itself around his neck gently. He doesn’t notice in his sleep and won’t notice for a few more hours, but in the light of his little lantern, green magic swirls within it, humming patiently.

Waiting to be realized.

XXxxxxxXx

Author’s Note: So, I posted this chapter first on AO3 and thought I had already uploaded here, and apparently, I hadn’t….so oops…?

Live for the Night on AO3

[wobblycompetencies]

at long last, proof that this blog is not run by a robot

I’m usually embarrassingly bad at actually responding in kind when I’m tagged for these, but this time I’M DOING THE THING. Thanks for the tag, @intellectualhedonist!

Rules: answer the 20 (19?) questions and tag some amazing people you would like to get to know better

i. name: Katie

ii. nickname: Wobbly/Wobs

iii. zodiac sign: Virgo, but I think the REAL QUESTION HERE is what Hogwarts House am I? (caw caw, motherfuckers)

iv. height: 5′11, and permanently salty that I never quite made it to six feet. IF YOU’RE GONNA BE TALL, GO BIG OR GO HOME, YA KNOW?

v. orientation: currently facing nor-nor’east, because the cat took my original chair and now I have to sit on this stool thing. (Most of the evidence points to mostly straight, but if the right lady came along, I certainly wouldn’t rule it out.)


vi. ethnicity: pretty dang white. Fourth generation Canadian.


vii. favourite fruit: Would it be obnoxious to say avocado? I really love me that spreadable fruit.

viii. favourite season:  In my personal heaven, it’s  fall allllll of the time – nippy in the mornings and warm in the afternoons, and the trees are all turning colour, and there’ s bonfire smoke in the air…

ix. favourite book series: what counts as a series? Is that like…anything more than a trilogy? If so, probably Discworld. When I was a kid, I read the shit out of all the Redwall and Tamora Pierce books that I could get my hands on – those were pretty formative.

x. favourite flower: I don’t really have one, so can I say my LEAST favourite flower? Because I’m unaccountably prejudiced against waxy begonias.

xi. favourite scent: okay don’t judge me, but…*winces*…freezer burn. (I mean. You can judge me a little.)

xii. favourite colour: I don’t think I actually have one favourite colour any more, but I like the green that broccoli turns when you steam it, and that rainbow stain/patina that copper pots get, and the colour of Lake Louise on a sunny day.

xiii. coffee, tea, or cocoa: Coffee! Black as midnight on a moonless night.

xiv. average sleep hours: Well, left to my own devices, I will easily sleep for up to 13 hours at a stretch – it’s like my superpower. If I have to get up and work, though, 6 or 7. Unless I’m stressed, in which case, 4 or 5, because I do that thing where you stave off the morning by staying up really late?? thereby rendering yourself a semi-functional basket case during the day??? yes? anyone else??

xv. cat or dog person: Definitely a cat person. Don’t get me wrong, I like dogs (provided they are a PROPER SIZE, aka larger than a cat), but dogs are, like… high-key gross? Cats are low-key gross.


xvi. favourite fictional characters: toooo many, but eternally topping the list is Therem Harth rem ir Estraven, from The Left Hand of Darkness. IF ANYONE KNOWS WHO THAT IS AND EVER WANTS TO, YOU KNOW, MESSAGE ME TO TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT S/HE IS, AND MAYBE CRY A LITTLE TOGETHER, I’D BE DOWN. JUST SAYING.

xvii. dream trip: one day I’d love to take a camper van and do a great Canadian/American road trip. Which isn’t very exotic of me, I know, but I’m kind of an anxious traveler and I’m more confident of my ability to navigate North America than any other continent. I’d also love to have @dolly-bassett and @santheum show me around England, with the caveat that I will be crying on a lot of rubble because I can’t take it home with me.

xviii. blog created: Hmm, first year of grad school, so that would have been…late 2013 or early 2014? Maybe?

xix. number of followers: Hold the phone, when did I get 556 followers? Who ARE you people? WHY ARE YOU HERE? ARE YOU ALL GETTING ENOUGH TO EAT? 

Apparently there’s supposed to be twenty questions, but I only see nineteen, so I’m going to round this out with the Very Important Question that, sooner or later, I ask everyone in my acquaintance; namely:

xx: preferred style of pancake and pancake topping: fluffy/”American”-style, with maple syrup or Aunt Jemima. Plus whipped cream, if I’m feeling decadent.

TAG YOU’RE IT (no pressure)

@ravens-ink, @njolraas, @smooth-mccrimmonal @starfleetbabe @dotsandfoxes @waytoooldforstanning @missbuster @tinsnip @santheum, @islandbetweenrivers, @cactusspatz, @inmyriadbits, @dolly-bassett @jellyfishfire

@cheeriofrog (you changed your name and I tried typing in your old one and was STYMIED!)

[starlene]

I was tagged by @dostresseisdostres to do a meet the blogger thing and a positivity thing – thank you! My answers are under the cut.

#1 Meet the Blogger

i. name: Siiri

ii. nickname: -

iii. zodiac sign: Taurus

iv. height: 169 cm

v. orientation: Asexual

vi. ethnicity: Finnish

vii. favorite fruit: I’m not really a fan of fruit, though I try to eat some every day, since it’s good for you and all that. Maybe honeydew melon? I’d say strawberry, but my Finnish sensibilites simply cannot handle calling strawberries fruit.

viii. favorite season: Autumn

ix. favorite book series: Anne of Green Gables

x. favorite flower: -

xi. favorite scent: Autumn-y scents! Apples and woodsmoke and things like that.

xii. favorite color: Turquoise

xiii. coffee, tea or cocoa: Honey– I mean tea! I like black tea, especially Earl Grey and other sorts that are flavoured with fruits and berries, and also those berry infusions that don’t have actual tea in them. And lots of honey to go with all that.

xiv. average sleep hours: About eight.

xv. cat or dog person: Cat person. I’ve never owned either, and I do like dogs too – but somehow, cats appeal to me more. I like how they’re, in general, a bit more independent and aloof than dogs, I can sorta relate to that. Plus they’re very cute and beautiful animals.

xvi. favorite fictional characters: Someone I forgot to mention in the last tag that asked this same question: Donald Duck! He’s my favourite comic character.

xvii. dream trip: Whenever I get to travel with my friends or family is super nice, and it’s all the better if we’re seeing some musicals as we go – I’ve already been on multiple dream trips this year, and more are coming up this autumn.

xviii. blogs created: @fyeahfinnishmusicaltheatre & @samhalletsolycksbarn + Theatrically Speaking

xix. number of followers: 797. I’ve been on this site for ages, so there are plenty of spam bots and many abandoned blogs included in that count.

#2 Music Shuffle Challenge

Not doing this one, since I don’t really have playlists.

#3 Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool~) 🌈🌈

I’m good at writing

I’m organized

I can be counted on

I like the colour of my hair (never dyed it)

I bake tasty cinnamon rolls

No tags for the first one this time, nor picking out ten of my favourite followers – but I’m tagging @ensignbeedrill, @ananaskeksi, @rosalindfranklins and @dongiovannitriumphant to do the positivity thing!

[elphiethesane]

meet the blogger meme

Rules: answer the 19 questions and tag some amazing people you would like to get to know better.

I got tagged by @alicecorsairs! Thanks! Oh man this never happens to me and I’m terrible at picking favorites...

i. name: Erin ii. nickname: ...Honestly the only nicknames I can think of are things that haven't been used on me in years... iii. zodiac sign: Scorpio iv. height: 5'4"-5'5" ish... Somewhere between the two. Depressingly average. v. orientation: Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Bi as heeeeeeeeell... vi. ethnicity: I think my favorite description I've ever used (on an actual school project about family background, which just makes it funnier to me), is "euro white trash". But yeah, pretty much the whitest American mutt you'll come across. Except maybe my mother. At least I tan. vii. favourite fruit: Man, I don't actually eat of lot of fruit... Peaches or pears, maybe? viii. favourite season: Uh... Gonna say fall on that one. Nice weather, no allergy issues (fuck spring in Vegas, I swear to god), and both my birthday and Halloween are in fall, so... Kinda wins out over any other time of year. ix. favourite book series: Oh boy, me and any sort of favorite book question... Sticking to just actual series of books and not individual ones, because then we'd be here all day... I don't know, Harry Potter's sentimental, I grew up with it, and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... And probably the Discworld books too? x. favourite flower: Uh... I'm gonna say a tie between roses and poppies on that one. Both were kinda all over the place when I was a kid, I'm sentimental. xi. favourite scent: Man, I can't smell shit... I don't know, maybe the way it smells around here after it rains. Or the smell of coffee. xii. favourite colour: Blue! Hands down. Man this is the only favorites question I can answer easily... xiii. coffee, tea, or cocoa: Cocoa, though I do drink some tea on occasion... I can't stand coffee, though. xiv. average sleep hours: My sleep schedule is so perpetually jacked that I can't even guess. xv. cat or dog person: Honestly I'm probably a bit more of a cat person. Unfortunately I'm also highly allergic and should basically never be around a cat. I live vicariously through giving cats to fictional characters. xvi. favourite fictional characters: This is by no means all of my favorites because… If I even tried to compile that list this post would probably be sitting here for a damn month while I tried to hit every single one. So off the top of my head (or, you know, based on what fandoms are in my queue at the moment)... Castiel from Supernatural, Clara Oswald from Doctor Who (and also 12, kinda instantly became my favorite Doctor... There's a reason I've been reluctant to pick the show back up after I fell behind, I've still got both their exits ahead of me), Tony Stark from the movies or the comics really (though I haven't read as many comics as I'd like), and... I don't know, Grantaire might edge out as my favorite Les Mis character, I've always had a thing about the trainwreck man though I'm not sure why... I wish I could pick an FMA (at least for Brotherhood, I only watched the old anime once and it's a whole other story) character who's my favorite but that's just... Really really hard, there's loads of good ones. Though I suppose Hohenheim is a top contender for that position, the awkward nerd... Also, because I'm physically incapable of not including anything Disney, my favorite princesses are Belle and Rapunzel, Professor Ratigan is a delightful villain, and I've got a thing for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. I mean I could probably ramble for ages on Disney characters alone, and don't get me started on park related characters because I'll probably just end on a rant about things they've changed, but at least that's a few of them...

...I may or may not have written this section while slightly loopy from lack of sleep, forgive me if it's weird. xvii. dream trip: I should not be asked this question, I want to go everywhere. Seriously. Just... Everywhere. I mean... I had a school project where I planned a theoretical dream trip to Egypt, so that's one, and I've wanted to go to Disneyland Paris for years (that castle is probably my favorite, it seriously looks straight out of a storybook... Plus I'm fascinated by differences between the parks in general, so...), but... I don't know. I don't really have one dream trip, I just want to go everywhere. xviii. blog created: I don't remember in the slightest... I just vaguely remember it was shortly before towel day, because I'm pretty sure that was one of my first posts, and it was several years ago now. xix. number of followers: Uh... Apparently 135, though how many of those are actually active and aren't spam I have no idea.

I tag, uh... Whoever wants to, I guess? I don’t know who I can tag who I know I wouldn't be bothering with this kind of thing... Except maybe @eurydicenoelleharshaw, who I already know just fine. Though if you’d like an opportunity to introduce yourself to the rest of the world, dearie, take it as an invitation. ^^
