"Very terrifying. Really. Shakin' in my boots." He laughed but edged the medicine closer towards her. "You know if your dad catches you sneezing, he'll take you immediately to the Crown doctor." Gladio smiled but stayed there. Princess or not, they were friends.

"Maybe attention is like sugar, and it's bad for you because when you get it you just want more..."

"Oh well. I'm still gonna beg."

Hi! i saw you write for ffxv and read the dating drabbles you made and wanted to request more expanded hcs for Noctis if thats okay? Like what else would come with dating them, love language, jealousy level and maybe even tropes if that's okay- pls feel free to add or change anything to this broad request 💀 tysm in advance and stay safe 💕

❝Hmm, I see...❞

authors note: ABSOLUTELY ANON!! Could always write more about Noct haha. And no worries, I've been cooking for a long time about this.

cw + tags: Mostly fluff! Gets spicy for like, a split second, but that's it. Not proofread, sorry for any typos! [Established relationship. GN! Reader.]

summary: A more expanded list of dating headcanons about Noctis from this post!

As for love languages, Noctis is tied with physical touch and quality time. Surprisingly, he's a big cuddler and very affectionate. At least in private. He's a bit shyer about it in public especially with the title of Prince and trying to keep proper images sometimes, but he's much more open about it during more intimate moments.

Kisses, cuddles (just be prepared to deal with how he becomes a koala), the whole thing. Just as long as it's all in the safety and comfort of being at home.

He's actually kind of playful with his affection. It's actually a bit more different than from what you'd might expect.

And if he's feeling like it, he can be handsy. At first, he's very shy about it, but slowly grows more comfortable and wilder.

Very soon, you'll have to deal with a sleepy prince who loves to nip at your neck sometimes.

Like I said in the previous post, Noct loves spooning. Not only does he sleep better, but he loves your body heat.

I think he's the type of guy to absolutely cover himself in blankets to feel nice and toasty, but also loves to blast the AC so it's freezing (me).

So, if you like sleeping toasty with weighted blankets as he spoons you, you're in luck.

As for how Noctis deals with jealousy, it's more on the quieter side compared to someone like Gladio. But definitely still enough to stand up and say something.

However, he's not the type of guy to immediately jump the gun if anyone started talking with you. He trusts you. It's only when they get a bit too close or try to be handsy is when he'll step in.

By confronting them, he doesn't make a huge spectacle about it. He'd simply just whisk you away. Maybe make a quick snide comment on how you're taken or just make up an excuse to say you're needed somewhere else.

Noct makes it quick. Either because it's the royal status that prevents him from doing too much or the fact, he's not super into making a huge spectacle out of things.

This may fall into some of the things you'll have to deal with in dating him, but it's not really the fear of losing you to someone else but more of the feeling that maybe he's not good enough for you. How you deserve someone else who isn't riddled with anxieties or the heavy duty he carries on his shoulders as the future king of Lucis.

Noct will become extra cuddly and clingy afterwards. Gently kissing you everywhere as if to reassure himself that you're there.

But what really helps him and makes him feel better, not just after moments of jealousy, is when you tell him those words.

'You're good enough', 'you're worth every single second of each day,' and 'I love you, regardless of who you are and the burdens that may follow you.'

ANY of those words of reassurance or a variant of them will make him melt.

Come now, the man has had very little chances where he could choose what he wanted for his own sake and happiness, and you reassuring him that he's deserving of it makes him over the moon.

After the Chisa incident, the trio of N, Gladion and Kiyoko keep investigating Junko's lair and rooms.

Progress is made but along the way N decides to breed Mikan. Because he can, and of all the students at Hopes Peak her wobble cake is still clapping with every step even after the boom box incident. His Zekrom eats a Monokuma who tries spying on them.

Disclaimer: R18 material! If not to your liking then please do not view!

PLAP! PLAP! PLAP! PLAP! PLAP! PLAP! PLAP!!!

"Y-y-y-yessssssssssssssssssss!!! Pl-pleaaaase!!! Let me carry your heiiiiiir!!!! Lord N breeeeeeeeeed meeeeeeee!!!"

"S-s-so willing~ So loviiiiiiiing~ You're perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Similar to Chisa, Mikan could just feel it. Feel how much N needed a maternal, or rather, nurturing figure in his life.

Someone that could dote on him, and provide for him!! Tend to his needs~

Needs that Mikan knew he had - after all he was always staring at her jiggling wobblebuns ever since they met back in Hope's Peak~

Always peeking out her skirt, panties too short to cover them up completely. Yeah, she wasn't foolish and knew what he loved~

As such, she just had to take him in!! Had to lure him into her nurse's office for Ultimate Despair the first chance she got!! For his safety...and for both their pleasure~

While N was briefly confused as to why, he immediately got the hint when she bent over the bed and bared her thicc ass at N. Begging for the king to take her 'lowly commoner pussy and make it something more'~

Something that immediately had him balls deep inside of her, breeding the eager nurse where she stood, both moaning like beasts in pleasure!!

...And to ensure that no nosy people managed to get past the locked doors, Zoroark was on duty!!! Something that proved to be the right decision as it easily destroyed a Monokuma unit before it could record anything. Such a good guard~

(Needless to say both Kyoko and Gladio were unimpressed with how easily he got snared. But, hey, that's one potential obstacle down, so they can't truly complain for long)

[secretkittywolf]

Soooooooooooo new hypefixation is these two!

I have searched for a ship name and found none so I'm making one! (Unless there is one pls let me know!)

Gladioturashipping.

"Gladio" is from the name of the flower Gladiolus and the "tura" is from the name of the Apatura iris (purple emperor butterfly). I headcannon that Quattro is a botanist and Dextra is a Lepidopterist.

In case anyone is curious

This is a Gladiolus

And this

Is a Apatura iris

20 Questions For Fic Writers

@ofdemonsandangels tagged me! I don't get on this site much anymore so idk if this has gone around at all but if you're a writer who's reading this and you have time to burn, pls feel free to answer these questions for yourself!

also i didn't bother linking any stories so just uh here's the link to my portfolio

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

232 but I need to note that at least 31 of those are drabbles (that I couldn't put into one multi-chapter bc of the varied ships)

2. What's your total AO3 wordcount?

2,002,567 (what the fuck) but I also need to note that several of these are stories in at least two languages and that some of these are not written with the Latin alphabet system so the word count would be different in those

3. What fandoms do you write for?

g witch is my homebase rn! but I'd love to be able to write at least one ffxv fic again next year which is the biggest collection of fics in my ao3 rn. briefly I was also active in sk8 and even more briefly in hadesgame (but that's not counting the pre-pandemic years)

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

HUH my ffxv fics have been completely nudged out of place! :ooo this is a surprise but hygge remains unbeatable since I published it uhhhhh 2017? it's a 30-day fic challenge where the brodinsons settle into earth following the events of ragnarok so that's why it's so popular I guess. the next fics are (from most to least) お持て成し omotenashi, weather report (the only hadesgame fic, the others are sk8), 浮世 ukiyo and save the date.

5. Do you respond to comments?

absolutely! they took the time to let me know their thoughts, I need to honor their generosity. THO I did delete some anon hate once bc my friends told me it's not worth it to engage and my friends are much smarter than me so

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

HUH man idk. like I define angst so differently than others (most people: liv why is this so angsty??? me: it's not???) but off the top of my head, the meeting on the turret stairs? mostly bc it's unresolved forbidden love gladnis and I really upped the ante there…i don't remember if it's to match the tone of the original artwork or if it was a client decision

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

there's a lot!!!! I'm not just all bittersweet stuff, I can tell other stories, I swear, but most of them are probably gladnis stuff but uh…if you filter my portfolio to just the fluff category, it's probably all of those there

8. Do you get hate on your fics?

HAHA oh man. so that anon hate, right? it was that time I posted my first guesulemio fic (forget me nots is the title) and I woke up to like 5-7 anon comments who got upset that I tagged it as sulemio (never mind that I also tagged it as polyamory but ehh there's a certain type of ao3 readers, right? we all know this) and like, 1 other anon baby later on in the day when I refused to remove the sulemio tag bc it was a fic where guel, suletta and miorine weren't a closed triad yet. to be fair, that was a fairly educational experience! I read up on some reddit stuff about tagging ot3 fics and while some people don't mind if the all-encompassing ot3 tag was used indiscriminately, other people, especially in the cases of open triads or where one corner of the triangle is missing, would love to know what subship of the ot3 they're going to expect going in. anyway that was the first and only fic I locked away from public bc lord do the anon babies have a lot of time in their hands (not a lot of reading capacity tho)

surprisingly the one before this—not hate, just disappointment—was a fic where gladio married that rando woman (we're talking about ffxv now) he mentioned in the hammerhead camp prior to the insomnia chapter. that's the woman that only exists in the English localization. the ending was that they got married in spite of gladio and ignis' committed relationship so there's basically three of them now. and people apparently hated that even tho one of the points I wanted to make with that fic was how gladio and ignis would always be together no matter what happens 🤷🏻‍♀️

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

what do you mean what kind isn't smut is smut is smut???? I mean yes I do write smut but damn if I know what kind of smut???? it's just smut?????

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

YES I love crossovers!!! of the ones posted on ao3, I think it might be joche in ffxv? mostly bc I couldn't fuse a lot of the lores together (kaoru was a lucian locked out of insomnia when Regis put up the wall, Kojiro was an altissian, that's it) but I do have one fic that I deleted from ao3 which is basically suikoden characters and events in the lore of pacific rim. and it's not on ao3 rn bc you could really tell I was just pulling shit out of my ass, it was all so bad and jarring 😂😂😂

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

MAN idk like i highly doubt it but I also don't take the time to find out you know?

12. Have you ever had a fic translated

ooh yes, two yeses in fact! mog (and ulan??) have translated some of my filipino fics to english but there was also a stranger who asked if they could translate one of my hadesgame!patrochilles ficlets (patience) into russian! that was very thrilling. and then just recently, I joined a guesule advent calendar project in Japan and the friend who invited me told me to give them a machine translation of my ficlet and they would go over it and clean it up to make it more readable to the jp audience. that ficlet isn't up on ao3 yet (it's on pixiv) but man I gotta remember to ask the project organizer if they would mind if I uploaded it there

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

YEAHHHH we never finished it tho!! it was a friend I made on some final fantasy rpg yahoo group and it was going to be a retelling of ff7 or smth? I don't remember much else, this was during ff.net's heydays.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

clerith. which i have barely written for (I mean i used to write them a lot back when I was still some 13yo anti-cloti lmao) but if we're talking about like based on recent fic counts and productivity and stuff, gladnis.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

oh man, I got this zares reincarnation au going that I got distracted from with ghost of tsushima and then now g witch (it's the "I'll get back to this after xyz" kinda thing) and I'd LOVE to finish it! I know I will, I have a 99% wip-finishing rate, but I'll need to replay hadesgame to get some voices and inspo back, you know?

16. What are your writing strengths?

I have the brain of a project manager, hence the 99% wip-finishing rate.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I can hardly write or even translate if i hear sounds! whether it's the TV or the radio or if it's someone talking to me, I can't do it bc I can't hear my own words

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

IF IT MAKES SENSE ABSOLUTELY I was soooo happy when I got guel and lauda to speak in my hokkien bc they're Chinese in the Manila au I have but also like, since the pov is guel (or miorine, who's also Chinese in that au), it makes sense to me for him to hear and understand the dialogue in the language. but if it's say like suletta who's filipino through and through? I would just write it like "meanwhile, Guel and Miorine are speaking in Chinese and, though Suletta doesn't understand a word, she can tell from the tension on their jaws that no one is happy". and also like, yes, especially for us multilinguals, I say we should flex our knowledge, but these dialogues need to get translated in the common language, too. if it's just purely flexing without understanding, then it makes no sense to even use a different language in the first place

19. First fandom you wrote for?

it was rpf 💪🏽

20. Favorite fic you've written?

lol pls I have the memory of a goldfish when it comes to my fics. as soon as it's done (and optionally up on ao3), I forget about it as I'm writing a new story. but like…I don't finish or share a story that I made that I don't like. every one of those that I declared finished is bc I was satisfied with them and wouldn't change a thing about them

👀? :>

👀Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

Oh man this ones been in dev for ages, its my passion project between zine and long projects, but there's this Moonlillie fic that's the darling of my wips, where Lillie returns to Alola and gets caught up between trying to go back to being a good daughter to her mother and embracing the new life she found as a runaway.

this fic mainly comes to me in vivid singular scenes, the most recent of which being a flashback of Lillie after having recently run away.

Here's an excerpt:

When Gladio had run away Lillie heaved and sobbed, rivers of tears until her mother had come into her room that night, sitting in the edge of the bed. Why, Lillie sobbed out, she didn't understand why. “My Lillie, what he did was a terrible ugly thing, wasn’t it? Just dirty and awful.” She wrapped her arms around Lillie, only touching her back with the tips of her fingers. A light, nearly hovering touch. “That’s why, we’ll never talk about it again. That’s what’s best.” And Lillie had tried to protest, only slightly, choking and spluttering on her tears. “Shhh shh, my Lillie. It’s alright, don’t worry, I know. You’re still my precious one. You’re so very beautiful my Lillie. You’re still so pretty.” With fingers that felt frozen to the touch, Lusamine reached over to Lillie’s face, lightly brushing away her tears. “We won’t ever worry about this again, will we?” And though her lungs were splitting open and her eyes dissolving, Lillie nodded and agreed. Was that how her mother was talking now? Smiling gracefully as always, now with no husband, no son, no daughter. She’d console the walls then, the air, each crisp white curtain in a perfectly maintained room. Lillie’s chest felt tight at the thought of her mother like that, pacing about her now empty room, speaking aloud only to herself. Lillie had abandoned her. After she’d already lost her husband and her son, Lillie had left her all alone.

one day... one day it gets finished.....

send me an emoji for fic questions!! pls!!

#gladio: excuse you I am a DELIGHT

“Mhm...” 

[tempcsts-blog]

@sagcfire - ohohohoho

the training room after dark has always been gladio’s safe place. during the business hours, it’s always overrun with people who just use the fucking treadmill for hours on end, jogging and gossiping, and truthfully, gladio would much rather run his cardio without having to hear what the latest tabloid says noct has been up to lately. he’s never really around anyone else when he’s down here, so right now, he’s stretched out on the mat, legs splayed while he bends over each one to touch his toes.

gladio moves to take a sip of his water and get ready for his next stretch when he hears the door open, and a very surprised gladio watches a very unaware ignis make his way into the room.

gladio doesn’t say anything for a moment. he enjoys watching ignis, how every move he makes is intentional and with motion, calculated and well thought out behind those glasses he’s always pushing up his face.

it’s cute.

gladio stays seated on the mat for a little longer before he finally clears his throat, a wide smirk fitting appropriately on his lips. “hey, iggy,” he calls, “couldn’t stay away from me?”

sorry i can’t hear you over the sound of Ignis admitting he wants to ride my thick thighs.

Crying for Freedom

@clypeusamicitiam:

Gladiolus stepped forward through the handlers, shouldering them aside and shoving his hands beneath the man’s arms, lifting him up bodily, and pulling him immediately close so that he couldn’t get real traction with those legs.

“Calm,” he ordered, voice almost a drawl. “I can hurt you if you like. But I don’t plan on it. Choose your battles, little fighter. If you’re so against me, wouldn’t all that energy be better spent waiting till you could put a knife in my neck?” he asked casually, ignoring the handlers as they stared at him incredulously.

Blue eyes narrowed as he studied the much bigger man.

“Put me down,” he hissed at last, soft enough so only the man could hear him -- so only his new owner could hear him speak his native tongue.

The reaction to that would say much to Loqi.

[fujubun]

Yes, this was a normal morning as they stayed in a hotel. Totally. Iggy and Gladio were allowed to share a bed, but instead of waking up next to Gladio, Ignis would be woken up from the slobbery kisses from the resident fluffy, brown furred werewolf. And yes, Gladio was sleeping on his chest. It was just common courtesy!

Ignis sputtered awake, a mixed look of startled, alarmed, and disgust etched into his drowsy expression. A heavy huff of air escaped him; how had he not notice the heavy weight that laid on top of him? As if that wasn’t bad enough, and now the rather crude and disgusting licks to his face —- well the kindest thing he could say was at least he didn’t have on his glasses.

“Gladio wh –” he wheezed under the wriggling and happy werewolf, “what on Eos do you think you’re doing?!” 

[redara]

Guess who just saw Gladio concept art for Brotherhood~

So this guy is 175 cm at 13, then 185-188 cm at 18, and 198 at 23. He grows about 10 cm taller per 5 years, and twice as buff. Idk about you all, but i wanna high five his mother for giving birth to a behemoth of a son.

Anyway, this one took me 5 hours to make, which is an improvement. I've had to draw for 7 hours on phone, and loooord my hand got so used to the motion i tried to zoom in on a paper.
