#ffxivbridgerton Day 2 - ball

Y'shtola was surprised when Corisande asked her to dance--Y'mhitra was the one in search of a partner--and even more surprised to find herself enjoying their time together.

Although - let me premise. I like Lyse. I don’t think Conrad choosing her to lead the resistance was earned, it felt very fast and a bit out of nowhere because she’s not a leaderly type and the traits she gained were in Doma (he didn’t see that happen), but you actually don’t have to change anything major to fix or at least better it in my brain, you just need to swap around some dialogue. Don’t have him talk to you about choosing her, have her take the reins herself or with encouragement when he dies. thassit I think itd give her some je ne sais quoi

How could I not? lol blue light new 💎

@asamis-jodhpurs also asked for this one! it's is also a refresh of something much older. i mentioned it in my 2023 writeup under a 'shame' line, but the draft is called 'blue light' bc eli encourages nol to kiss him so nol pushes him into a stained glass window and they make out. i'd always intended for them to walk away from that glass and have sex, but since its their first time its just so. so so goddamn complicated. my wip is very all over the place.

there's a LOT of up and down in nol's disgust and joy (before we even get to the bed) with the disgust being very internal and the joy being more external--so elliot doesn't immediately see that nol is going thru a p extreme self-hatred episode (lbr what's new)

so i didnt want to write something that was uncritically 'i hate my body (it hurts & wont let me die), my appearance (ugly burn scars everywhere), my life (god hates me & war sucks), and my sexuality (sex is bad, sex w men is worse)' without balancing it with SOME levity jfc nolanel

For a moment he wondered how life could come to this: his chest beating against another, a tongue like holy fire in his mouth, love spoken in soft moans. A murky shame trailed through him, indefinable and weak, and he dismissed it by freeing the word in his heart. "Yes," he said, as candid as a prayer.  Elliot leaned against Nolanel and softly pushed him into the shadows. He separated his body from the blue gleam and offered it to desire.

i think i use sex too often as a catalyst moment for a perspective change, and im not beating that allegation here, but nol really needs it LMAO in the end i think ill weight the next morning with the bulk of nolanel's meltdown. he's going back to war and there's no way brucemont is gonna let him get away w positive character development after a few days home.

ive written two things already that stand under a similar conflict, ie 'is while getting off rly the time u should be contemplating guilt & social responsibility,' and one is ch2 of "the light i hear" (i made a joke abt this fgjdhfjg). the other is "will it rain," which is still a fav of mine:

idk i feel like so much discourse could be easily minimized if people learned to say "i think" instead of "it is"

Being blonde myself has rendered me immune to all other blondes and I look at them only with contempt in my heart

FFXIVWrite Day 26 - Last

I march on for the final stretch despite incredible sleep deprivation, so this might be a little all over the place but it's DONE. The boys are fightingggg.

Don’t know my characters? Here’s a basic breakdown to help you out!

~

“Did you really expect to be left in peace after getting back from the First? Because that’s what it sounds like” Kito argued fiercely.

He and his brother were fighting. Again. It was not the first time they’d fought since returning to the Source and it would most definitely not be the last. This had started over dinner, and still went on long after the sun outside had faded, leaving the stars to shine above.

“No I didn’t! But you know I’ve always wanted to see Sharlayan! Did you expect me to be happy you’re all going without me?” Kotah shouted back, his ears lying flat.

“The only reason you’re not going is because you have the criminal record of a serial killer! You’re lucky the Alliance let the Scions keep you in Mor Dhona at all! Our influence is the only reason you’re not dead, you’re lucky the Alliance trusts us that much because anyone else in your spot would be dead. You brought this on yourself” Kito snapped.

“Look I know you all hate me. I know you only keep me around because you owe me after everything on the First. If I could have stayed there without dying, I would have. But by the Twelve just let me be upset about this!”

“I don’t know why you picked me to complain to then! Go talk to Urianger, he likes you! Or G’raha who was busy sleeping through everything you did and only knows you as the hero you somehow became on the First!”

Your anger is getting the better of you Twintania interjected to Kito.

I don’t really care. He came to me complaining he couldn’t go visit Sharlayan because he killed innocents. I know he’s my brother but I just… I can’t bring myself to care. I trust him now but I don’t like him, you know? Kito sighed mentally, sharing the jumble of emotions along with his words in the hopes Twintania would understand.

Kotah meanwhile continued to argue, entirely unaware of the second conversation happening in Kito’s mind.

“I just thought you’d at least understand! You knew how badly I wanted to go when we were kids!”

“But we’re not kids anymore, and the person you’ve become is not someone I like,” Kito finished, walking away.

Twintania was right. He would go too far if he kept this up. As much as he wanted to spell out exactly how he felt, this wasn’t the time or place.

There might never be one.

Twintania understood him, but at the same time didn’t. She usually tried to encourage peace between them despite her usual fierceness. Their shared minds allowed them to see from each other’s perspectives very easily, but that meant Kito knew how much dragons valued their kin. Kito and Kotah weren’t blood related, but they’d grown up as siblings both adopted by the same father. To Twintania, they were connected in the same way she was to her own siblings or the great wyrms were to each other. But Kito was human, and humans didn’t work the same way.

They both understood and couldn’t understand each other on this matter at the same time.

He does not like himself either. It shows in how he carries himself, Twintania noted as Kito left the conversation.

He shouldn’t. Was all Kito had to say on the matter.

Of course Kotah didn’t like himself. He had proven on the First in the end that he had changed, enough for Kito to trust him. But how can you like someone you can’t forgive? It was all too complicated, and Kito had a feeling this strain between them would remain for the rest of their lives.

And yet you will be cordial again in the morning. Mortals and their conflicts. So short, yet so intense. Capable of burning with all of Nidhogg’s rage for the most fleeting of moments… Twintania mused to herself.

You are not helping Kito grumbled, stomping off to bed.

But he had to admit he probably would feel better with some rest. While the feelings were always there, the arguments never lasted more than a day. Somehow, they remained friendly enough the rest of the time.

Knowing that would not stop the famous Warrior of Light from having a bit of a pathetic tantrum once alone though.
