#gladio writing

[jepzer0]

I love the idea of promptis getting together in the dumbest way possible. Like prompto being exhausted after a long day and just forgetting that noctis doesn't know he's head over heals for him and so he kisses him goodbye before he gets out the car and goes inside, leaving a stunned and flustered noctis sitting in the back of the car with ignis and gladio giving him looks knowing looks as he processes what happened. And prompto doesn't even realise cause he's that tired. He just collapses onto his bed as soon as he gets in and sleeps way into the next morning where he wakes up to a series of texts from noctis, ignis and gladio and then realises what he did.

more half-baked Gladio musings for the masses

I think Gladio doesn’t know how to Drop It. When he finds a problem, he will resolve it one way or another.

It is not always the best solution that he picks.

I bring this up specifically in reference to the argument on the train and Gladio’s DLC.

On the train, Gladio decides that there’s too much tension and too much unsaid and Noctis is stagnating in his despair again and they don’t have the luxury of time to let him ride it out. Not to mention the ruins of Altissia and Iggy’s blindness and noct nearly dying (while Gladio was half way across the city able to do naught but sit on his hands) and the encroaching dark and the whole world falling apart around their ears. So he snaps and forces the issues that can be resolved. Even though he knows *damn* well that it’s not what Noctis needs (because he is on multiple occasions characterized as legitimately charismatic), not really what any of them need. On the laundry list of mostly unsolvable problems, getting Noctis to step up and put on the ring and *keep moving* is achievable. He can fix that. So he does his level best to make it happen even if that bar is somewhere in hell.

The way he sets out for his DLC much earlier in the game is what leads me to him needing to solve problems, not just being the sort to force a conversation. Because he really, really doesn’t talk with Noct at all about it. He just tells Noct he needs to deal with some stuff and he’ll catch up to them. And then he goes and solves the issue of his self confidence for a week despite it taking him into a canyon known for killing all who enter (save for Cor because Cool Factor TM). Regardless, it’s still forceful but immediate problem solving because he can’t drop the issue of Ravus besting him. So he has to Fix It.

After almost five years, I updated The Coeurl Club! Rest assured, none of my WIPs are abandoned. It may be a hot minute before I update, but I will also get back to Witch of the Woods and All the King’s Men.

With the imminent launch of Sk8 OVA, I may write some ShadOka, but in my heart I think I’m going to write for Jayce and Viktor from Arcane. Arcane has sparked the closest thing to my love for FFXV, so we’ll see. Anyway, thanks for still being here. 💖

Chocobros with a medic s/o

notes - I HAD TO GET TO THIS ONE BECAUSE IVE HAD A SECRET FFXV BRAINROT AHHHH. And omg I am also super excited for FFXVI!!!! <33333 I just love this idea too so thank you so so so so much for sending it in <333 AND OMFG THANK YOU FOR THE CONGRATS IT MEANS THE WORLD I AM SO EXCITED TO SHOW YOU GUYS!!!

Prompto

this man is so grateful to you

like you are his saving grace

we all know this little dummy will find his way to fall in a ditch and hurt his arm by accident

without you, he'd probably be dead LMFAO

he will always walk up to you and in the cutest little voice be like... "y/n, I hurt my arm again"

and you'll just jokingly sigh and fix him right up

he always asks you about how you do it and all that and finds it really cool that you are able to fix him up with herbs and stuff

and when you cook for him??? he would never tell iggy, but he loves your cooking more ;)

also the fact that you're good with animals makes chocobos love you which means they are always just around you and that makes prompto love you more <3

Ignis

BRAINROT

you two definitely were the enemies to lovers troupe

like you were competing

you both could cook and take care of the others so it was immediate competition

you were always pushing each other around in a kitchen or whatever

but then you realized it was easier for you to deal with stuff as a team

and ofc you fell in love <3

he thinks you are very talented and honestly, when he's hurt, he will come to you and always feel bad lol

like he will feel like a burdan

please remind him that he isnt <3

he will love to learn how you use your herbs and stuff <3

overall, he just loves how amazing and talented you are and is so thankful about how you help the rest of the group

Gladio

this man trusts you with his life

he is always getting beat up and needs you there by his side to help

he appreciates it a bunch

and you'll always call him a big dummy when he gets hurt and then get straight to working on him, but that always makes him blush

make him ramen

please

like homemade stuff

please stop this man from eating cup noodles

but yeah, he is always getting hurt so to watch you work on him and help him out means the world to him

Noctis

this man gets too embarrassed to tell you he's hurt, so you always have to spot it

omg what a child

you will always get on his ass about that and he'll just be blushing as you work on him

ignis gets mad because you are super nice about Noct being picky and will make him food he enjoys instead of trying to make him something he doesnt like lol

you will baby him a bit because he is the king and he needs to be protected <3

he gets blushy when you do and act like he doesnt like it, but we all know he does <3

🎭 #torokatober2024 day 6/31: trick 🎻

Café au lait. Mocha latte. Cappuccino.

Quatre recognizes them, but he’d been swamped with meetings since he left his office that they’re now just words on the menu.

Still, he smiles readily when the man in a green suit approaches to take the seat opposite him.

Freezes when he recognizes Trowa Barton picking up his menu instead. But…he was supposed to meet someone else…

“Is this a trick to get me to rest?”

“Please cooperate, President Winner. This is a professional meeting.” Of course. Of course, it is.

Quatre brings up his own menu to hide his tearful grin.

The Bride of the Four Horsemen - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - The Red Rider of Blood - War

1 of 2 added chapters as a commission from destinidestati! Thank you so much for your support~! Another chapter will be added either later this week or early next!

When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.” And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.

Arcadia | The Wheelhouse

I opened the doors leading to the control room in haste. The front of the airship was seemingly only accompanied by Ignis and a few others who pledged themselves to us and our cause. Hearing them open, my husband turned to greet me. Even without sight, there were times he always surprised me with how acute his other senses were.

“Where is Noctis?” I asked, breathless from my swift and exhausted run through the airship. 

“Fociaugh Hollow, my Bride,” Ignis answered, his tone harboring concern for my own. “He was looking into a small lead in regards to a powerful daemon he hoped to quell.” He met me halfway, opening his hand for me to take. “Is something the matter? You sound.. distressed.”

It was a dream. That’s what I had to tell myself, but there was some truth buried within that ‘dream’ that had me rattled to my core. My fingers caressed his open palm, trying to find comfort in his presence alone. “I had a vision of sorts.”

Ignis’ lips thinned as if already dreading what I were to say. Seems without me even speaking that horrid man’s name, he knew Ardyn was possibly involved.

“I was… I was warned that something could be happening to Gladio in Altissia at this moment.”

“Who warned you of this?”

I shook my head at his desire to pry. “It matters not! What concerns me is that they could be right. We have more enemies there than friends, and I was told only that he ventured with Aranea there for—for something.”

Ignis hummed in thought, glancing away to collect his thoughts on the matter. “He never spoke with me about this. I was even unaware he was heading there to begin with.” There was a bit of pain laboring his tone as he spoke.

I understood why, as those two seemed to share a lot with one another. Just as Ignis and I had our fair share of secrets, I wouldn't doubt those two had the same.

[marmolita]

why am I consumed with thoughts of farmer!Noctis au since last night!

“Got the normal amount of blood in you, Amicitia?”

“Yeah,” both siblings reply.

Gladio looks at his sister. “Don't be a smartass.”

“He didn't specify,” she shrugs with a grin. Ulric laughs.

Ouaagh. Can't think of many people to tag rn. @the-dream-bubble-conspiracy huagh

[phoenixwithapencil]

I wonder- does Gladio blame himself in Altissia? Does he bandage his friend’s wounds and feel he’s failed his duty? If he’d just been quick enough, neither Noctis nor Ignis would be injured. If he’d done his one job, could he have at least taken the damage instead of his friends?

Does Gladio blame himself, when Prompto is pushed off the train? If he’d not snapped at Noctis, would they have been isolated enough to get into this mess? If he’d had a more level head, would Prompto not have felt the pain and despair of his isolation in the Nifilheim tundra?

Does Gladio blame himself, when Noctis is subsumed into the Crystal? When he’s not strong enough to avert Noctis’s fate? Was it his fault that Noctis put on the ring, didn’t, for once shun the weight of the crown and crystal? Would it be his fault if Noctis doesn’t return?

Does Gladio blame himself, in the long night, for each lost life, each wounded hunter? Does he temper it with an eternal mantra of ‘one more hunt, one more shift on patrol,’ pushing himself past breaking, just to atone for his guilt? He can spare anyone else the pain. He won’t fail to protect them this time.

Does he blame himself, after the dawn? Ten years, surely they could have figured out how to spare Noctis. Surely he could have done something.

[intxlligibility]

@ruinedbycatastrophe continued! As the car drives in silence as Noctis and Prompto sit in the back of the Regalia. Gladio for once in the front, skimming a book he has been trying to read for some time. But he can't really pay attention to it, not really. He closes it with a firm snap and lays it on his lap. Amber hues glance at the other for a moment before back at the book. "So. What are you going to do after all this?"

Perhaps he ought to blame the lack of sleep, or the constant stress running rampant in his mind, ( or perhaps he had even zoned out a little down this long, never-ending concrete road they've been driving down for hours now ) but the sound that comes from the passenger seat, the snap of the book, has him slightly jump.

He inhales, perhaps a little more shakily than he'd like, as he rubs his face.

"Assuming that we survive?" A huff, but he catches himself before his train of thoughts gets too dark. "I suppose we have a kingdom to rebuild, or have you already forgotten about the rubble that was once our home?"

His hands grips tightly around the steering wheel and mentally he kicks himself for letting his foul mood get the better of him. He sends a quick glance Gladio's way, clear regret in his eyes from the sudden outburst.

"Apologies... that was uncalled for"

Eyes now back at the road, but the tiredness is still there. The fear of what their future might bring.

[rk-ocs]

Nah, that was derived from the FFXV idea shot I mentioned, Where Luna decides they are keeping Ignaus and his cooking skills with them, by also marrying him.

Cut to wedding photo with Ignus standing there as a confused groom.

Then my brain went to her saying.

"Actually, if we are going through with this, there's a few other people I would invite."

"Me too"

"They look down at the list they've made."

"At this point it might just be easier to invite everyone to be a part of our marriage"

"Then we could delegate a lot of things, and have time for our own projects. And I could go fishing."

"I knew there was a reason you were my fiance"

Cut to a wedding photo in where everyone is baffled at being a part of this marriage. Even the villain is there. And they are probably all thinking "How was I talked into this again?"

My path for completing ffxv story is slow, mostly because I'm procrastinating with sidequests. Actually , it was while waiting for a bounty that only shows up at night, that I explored the dungeon I needed for story progression. I went back to cash it in, and the next one I needed was in the day, so I went to go report my success with the story quest. Then Noctis had a vision and a headache, and they decided to go use binoculars. So, I went there and a story character named Aradyn was there using them in the dead of night. Then he wanted to go driving on monster infested roads.

I decided ," nope , suddenly this bounty is urgent. "

Prompto: "it doesn't start until morning"

Noctis : "Urgent"

Oh, and Carnivorous muffin started a Pokemon crossover with Lilly and the art of being Sisphus. It does not diverge at the start, rather near where the current story is, so it won't be as easy to get into as Destroyer of World's.

Already they have set Gary's car on fire, gotten joint custody of Pikachu with Ash, and Lilly has found the meaning of existence

( I miss being able to read these stories)

i am only realising now that i made some parallels and i am sick to my core

I can't believe I'm only writing Iris Amicitia *now*. Girl whose brother is 8 years older than her might be what I'm Most qualified to write for.
