In amber light she mourned, Aymeric getting stabbed, and Apocalypse state of mind!

Answered abt apocalypse state of mind [here] ! As for the other two, ehehheehe >:))))

In amber light she mourned is set maybe 24hrs after The Royal Menagerie and it's Aymeric tracking O'ravi down to check in with her. She's...a mess. The things Zenos said to her really did a number on her and he sort of plants the seed in her mind that she's actually a monster at her core, same as he is. Which....Aymeric has Thoughts(TM) about lol. The title is a nod to one of Stormblood's recurring phrases, In Crimson It Began.

"Aymeric got stabbed rip in pieces bro" is about Aymeric and one of my non-WoL OCs, Marielle, a childhood friend of his. It's set soon after that one guy tries to kill Aymeric, and Marielle drops by to check on/bully him. Snippet:

The frame of Aymeric’s bed creaked as a new weight settled on it, rousing him from an uneasy sleep. He cracked one eye open and found an old friend seated beside him, prim as you please, her smile lacking its usual sharpness. An ebony pipe dangled from her fingers, not yet lit. He nudged her hand as far away as possible. “Word on the street is that the lord commander got shanked while passing through Foundation," she said. "Shocking, isn’t it? I choked on my beer when I heard.” “Marielle. The chirurgeons would be quite cross if they knew you were here.” “Then it’s a good thing they don’t.” She clicked her tongue, rifling through her pockets for a match. “How bad is it?” “Naught that won’t heal in time—but surely you didn’t trouble me just for that.” “Well of course. I wouldn’t dream of wasting the lord commander’s time, especially not after he’s danced so close to death."
