Bad things happen bingo request ^-^

FFXV - Go Through Me - Draucor

;)

I am so so sorry it took so long to do this one! But I hope I’ve done a good job with it!

I officially love to idea of Cid being a fatherly figure to Cor and I love the way I’ve made him tease Cor and Titus!

Ok, here we go, from my @badthingshappenbingo card, “Go Through Me”

A Request for Aid

It was rare that the Guard and Glaive were sent out on the same mission, but when a pack of Wyvern is harassing a certain mechanic and his garage in Leide, it is clear why the King would want the issue resolved, despite all the stress he was currently dealing with, at least, it was clear to the Marshal or the Crownsguard and one of the Glaive’s Lieutenants.

Cor and Titus watched Cid storm over to the Captain of the Kingsglaive, the Captain, who was Insomnian born, looked down his nose at Cid, clearly not happy being out of the city.

“The Captain is going to get his nose broke if he keeps looking at Cid like that” Titus whispered to Cor, who smirked

“It’ll be nice to see that arrogant fuck get knocked on his back, don’t you think?”

“You in charge ‘ere, Marshal?” Cid barked, Cor stepped up to the shorter, older man.

“I am Cid. Sorry about the delay, if it was up to me, we’d have been here 2 days ago” Cid went to say something, something Cor knew would involve insulting the King so quickly added, “it’s not His Majesty’s fault, and he and the Lord Shield send their regards.” Cid raised a brow before nodding to the Diner

“Come on, I’ll explain what’s been goin’ on, you too Titus,” Cid clapped Titus on the arm as he walked past, causing the Captain to splutter in disbelief.

“He is not the Captain here, Mr Sophiar, I am!” Titus stopped for a moment as Cid looked over his shoulder.

“And yet he looks more like a Captain than you do” Cid continued walking, making sure Titus was following him.

Once inside the Diner Cid pulled Cor into a strong hug.

“Good to see you here, Kid!” Cor’s arms were pinned to his sides by the older man, once Cid let go of Cor he looked over to Titus, “you doin’ well, Lad?” He asked, clapping Titus on the shoulder again.

“Yes, thank you, Cid”

“It’s good to see you too, Cid”

“So, why is it you’re all late? Reggie said you’d be right ‘ere?”

“That would be because of my Captain, Cid, he has a tendency to…”

“Fuck around before a deployment” Cor finished Titus’ sentence. “So, these Wyvern?”

“Dawn hunters, just as the sun rises, injured one of the Hunters pretty bad on the last attack”

“So our best bet is to wait until tomorrow morning then,” Cor looked over to Titus, who nodded

“I’ll fill the rest of them in” Titus nodded to Cid and left the Diner, once they were alone, Cid looked at Cor

“You still happy with him, Kid?” Cor rolled his eyes and smirked

“Yes, Cid, I am”

“So why aren’t you married yet?” Cor cursed under his breath and chuckled. Trust Cid to ask about his relationship.

“A lots been happening, especially recently,” with that comment, Cids smile faded

“How is the Prince?” He asked quietly

“Regis is taking him to Tenebrae next month, the Oracle has offered her aid, Titus and the other Glaive will be going too, as part of his security detail”

“But not you?”

“I’m looking after Gladio, Violet and Iris, I offered. Clarus trusts me the most with them”

“Am I talking to the same Cor Leonis I knew? Rowdy teen, always gettin’ into fights, hot headed idiot?”

“Oh he’s still there, Cid, he just needs the right situation to show up” Titus said with a smug grin on his face. “Everyone is ready, now we just need to wait until morning” Cid nodded, then ushered the 2 men to a nearby table

“I’ll get us dinner, we can have a proper catch up”

Cor rolled onto his back as his alarm sounded, if he was at home he would have rolled into Titus’ arms, but instead he felt the edge of the single bed Cid had let him use at the garage, he let out a groan, this was the part of being deployed on a mission that he hated, he really missed Titus at his side.

Once he was up, he joined the other members of the Guard and Glaive who were gathering in the forecourt of Hammerhead.

“Morning, Marshal” Cor smiled slightly as Titus walked over, handing Cor the second coffee he was holding

“Lieutenant Drautos,” he greeted his partner with a nod of his head, Titus took a sip of his coffee, just as Cid sauntered over and spoke

“Why do the pair of you hide the fact that you’re fuckin’?” Titus choked on his coffee and Cor felt heat rise to his face. Once Titus cleared his throat he looked back at Cid

“Couldn’t you have waited until I’d had a drink?” Titus coughed

“Where’s the fun in that? Seriously though, why do you keep your relationship secret?” Cor shrugged

“It’s easier,” he admitted, “we both like to keep it private, and we don’t want to deal with the accusations… people I work with don’t like the refugees, so the fact that I’m in a long term relationship with one… it’s just easier.”

“And I don’t want people asking intimate questions” Titus added, earning a raised brow from Cor, “what? You think I’m the only one interested? 3 of the mages swoon when you walk past.” Cor stared blankly at Titus as Cid burst out laughing.

“Marshal!” The Captain of the Kingsglaive stormed over “we’ve seen no sign of any Wyvern, this whole mission just seems like a waste of time” Cor looked at the Captain and was about to tell him to be patient when they all heard a screech.

“Ah, right on cue,” Cid huffed, the Captain returned to the members of the Glaive he’d brought with him and began barking orders, Cid caught Cor’s wrist as he went to do the same, “don’t get yourself killed, Kid” Cor gave Cid a nod and ran off to the Crownsguard.

The Wyverns were massive, their wingspan was easily 4 times Titus or Cor’s size and there were 5 of them! Titus was trying to bark orders to the other Glaive to use Blizzard spells instead of lightning, all while he was fighting the smallest of the 5 beasts alone, he managed to swing up onto its back, by imbedding his sword into its neck and jumping on. He felt the familiar cold sensation build up in his left hand as a Blizzard spell began to form. Titus had a natural gift with the magic granted to him by the King, if he wasn’t so skilled with a sword he’d have likely been made a mage, but he was one of the few that were incredibly skilled with both. He dragged the ice that was forming in his hand along the blade of his sword before driving it into the Wyvern’s neck, the giant beast collapsed and Titus climbed off its back.

Once he was on the ground he looked around, making sure the 4 remaining Wyverns were being dealt with, they were, at least, all but one.

Titus felt as if his world slowed down and his blood ran cold as he watched Cor get knocked backward by the largest Wyvern, he slammed into a cluster of rocks and fell limply to the ground.

“Cor…” Titus started running over, pulling out his dagger as he did and threw it at the Wyvern which was now stalking towards Cor. Titus warped to his dagger and crashed into the beasts large head, in the confusion he managed to stab at it blindly before regaining his footing in front of Cor, holding his sword tightly in his right hand and summoning some more ice into his left, the Wyvern would have to go through him if it wanted to hurt Cor.

Cor’s eyes flickered open, his head was spinning and his whole body ached, as his vision cleared he saw Titus fighting the largest Wyvern, his movements were so precise, targeting the weak parts of the creature with both his magic and his blade, managing to also warp several times to avoid a dangerous bite.

Cor pushed himself onto his feet just as Titus managed to drive his sword through the neck of the Wyvern, the beast fell limp and Titus got thrown from its back, landing on his side and staying there for a moment, unmoving. Cor stumbled over to him.

“Titus?” Cor knelt down at Titus’ side just as the Glaive started to move, pushing himself up slowly. “You idiot, you pushed yourself into Stasis didn’t you?!”

“Might have done…” Titus wheezed, his face was sickly grey and he had beads of cold sweat running from his forehead. “Are you alright?” Cor nodded despite them both knowing he was injured.

“Marshal!” Cor looked over to Monica as she ran over, “Gods I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to get to you sooner” the young woman reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a potion, she handed it over to Cor, who gladly took it

“Thank you Monica, would you help Lieutenant Drautos to his feet please? I think he’s suffering a little, he hit Stasis” Monica helped Titus stand up while Cor took the potion she’d given him before he too, pushed himself to his feet.

“Cid isn’t going to like the fact that you got hurt, Marshal” Titus said, giving Cor a weary smile

“Let me deal with Cid, Monica, make sure he rests please”

“Of course, Sir” Cor watched Monica put Titus’ right arm over her shoulders and began to lead him back towards the vans they had travelled in. Seeing Titus being supported by such a small woman would have made Cor laugh under normal circumstances, but after what the 2 men had been through today, Cor was just glad they were both still alive.

“Right…” Cor spoke to himself as he brushed off the dust from his uniform, “best report back to Cid.”

Given there's sometimes more than a year between updates on this I'd be surprised if folks were still interested... but we persist! This is Chapter 1.4 of Comrades AU.

Earlier installments are here on Tumblr under this tag but the easiest way to read would be on AO3.

Now we're finally up to Chapter 2!

Fan-made Final Fantasy XV Posters

CREATOR'S NOTES:

Petition for Square Enix to release the high-quality versions of these renders, please? I really wanted to make some kind of poster for this game, but the only images I could find were so small and low quality, I almost didn't bother. Couldn't resist messing around in Photoshop anyway though and my tinkering spiraled into this, so I'd thought I'd share regardless.

I love Noctis' kingly raiment, so I really wanted to Photoshop him to be wearing it. I know it's technically flipped but I had to match the light source. I also gave Noctis his blue eyes back and cleaned the dirt off his face and clothes.

I really wanted to use Kingsglaive's Luna over the version from the game as I personally think that version pairs particularly well alongside older Noctis, just saying...

Creating Ardyn's magic was tricky and took a lot of experimentation to find the right custom brushes, but I hope the final result is close enough. I also edited one half of Ardyn's face to look corrupt with black dripping from his glowing yellow eye and some 'damaged' looking skin.

To create the floating crystals, I took images of actual diamonds, cut them into small pieces and placed them individually around the image before adding lens flares and glowing effects... which was about as tedious as it sounds.

If anyone knows where I can get my hands on some high-quality versions of these images, please let me know and I'll happily remake these posters! Hope you guys enjoy these regardless of the poor quality and let me know which version is your favorite!

(Please do not edit / steal / repost elsewhere without permission)

Kingsglaive Legends 2023! Organised by @calling4glaives

Day 3: Training (Feat. Nyx & Drautos)

It was the hottest day of the year, the height of summer, the training grounds in the Citadel were exposed to the full sun at this time of day. Captain Drautos had called off training when he saw how the Glaive were struggling, he let them go home, and they did just that, all but one.

Nyx sprinted through the obstacle course, throwing his dagger and warping to it, his face was covered in sweat and his legs felt like they were ready to give up from under him, but he couldn’t stop, he needed to get stronger, if he wanted to protect his home and protect his people, he needed to keep training, even in these conditions.

As he finished the course, for the fourth time, his legs wobbled, and his stomach churned, he leant forward, taking in deep gulps of air as he prepared to go round for the 5th time.

“Ulric!” Nyx spun around and stood to attention in response to the Captains voice behind him, expecting to see the Captain in his usual uniform, but surprisingly he wasn’t wearing it; instead he was wearing formal trousers and suede shoes, and a dark red, button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up revealing his forearms, which were adorned in intricate woven leather bands of various colours. “I didn’t think I’d have to order anyone to stop training today, Ulric” Drautos said as he approached, he summoned a bottle of cold water into his hand, from the Armiger granted to him by King Regis, and handed it to Nyx. “Don’t kill yourself out here, Nyx.”

“I need to get quicker, I let you down in the last mission, if I had been faster, then…”

“You didn’t let me down, and you did nothing wrong, Hero,” Drautos put his hand on Nyx’s shoulder. “Everyone survived, with only one injury in the whole group, I call that a pretty successful mission, in my experience”

“But… but we didn’t achieve our main goal?”

“Do you think I care? You all survived, that is a success for me, now, stop training in this heat. I’ve got no problem with you training in the gym, but if I find out you’ve stayed out here after I’ve left, I’ll put you on desk or gate duty for a month, am I clear?”

“Yes Sir”

“Good,” the Captain checked his phone, “right, my ride is here, see you tomorrow” he clapped Nyx on the shoulder and turned to leave, just as Violet Amicitia came into the training yard “heading to the gym, Violet?” He asked as he walked up to the 18 year old

“Yeah, going to work on weights today” Drautos gave her a smile and whispered something to her, as he walked off she shouted after him “enjoy your date, Titus!” She picked up her small gym bag and walked over to Nyx “hi, Nyx!”

“The Captain has a date?!”

“Oh don’t sound so surprised, he has a life outside the Citadel, you know” Violet laughed, “are you still training? Or are you done for the day?”

“I don’t know yet, why?”

“I was just wondering, because I was going to do some weight training, but everyone who I usually ask to be a spotter for me is busy, I understand if you want to head home but… if your free?”

“Sure, I can help you” Violet smiled brightly

“Thanks” she walked past Nyx, across the training yard, with him catching up with her a moment later “I might try for a personal best now that I have you helping me”

Nyx week 2024 day 5 : Magic/Healing 

Also Glaiveweek 2023 day 1 : hurt/comfort

Warning : Graphic depiction of violence, Major character death

Note: Nyxweek 2024 ended about 1 month ago. This is a belated work due to my tight schedule, but I need to finish this short story with two-page comic. Drawing Nyx is always challenging but enjoyable.

.....

Insomnia : The day after Niffelheim's attack

The evacuation from central Insomnia started shortly before dusk, and it deemed accomplished a few hours before dawn.

Most of Niffelhelm's troops pulled back from Crown City before midnight, only General Glauca and some daemons remained fighting with the Old Walls and a Lucian glaive. When the fight was over, the city turned awfully silent. The Nifflhelm's General lain still. His breastplate was covered in blood. His mask was partially broken, so the face of Titus Darutos was exposed in sunlight. His eyes were fully closed and would never open again.

A few meters away, Nyx Ulric, the general's opponent, was leaning against debris. Though he was still alive but he did not look much better than his ex-commander. His skin turned ash gray from Kings of Lucis' fire. They had allowed him to use their power then their fire would burn him to death, as they had agreed.

Nyx sighed. Darutos had been nearly invincible. He should thank Kings of Lucis for being kind enought to give him some extra time. Now his mission accomplished, he did not only revenge Crowe and King Regis, but also save Lady Lunafreya and the the Kingdom's hope. "Not the worst way to go." He whispered to himself and looked up to the sky with a smirk, choosing the beautiful scenery as the last thing he would see. 

But a nearby footstep distracted him from his thought. Nyx did not bother turning to see. Whoever came, Nifl or not, it did not matter at all because he was about to pass now. But when he heard a female voice calling his name, he could not help turning to face the source of the sound.  

So it made him really startle to witness Lady Lunafreya Nox Ferret rushing toward him.

"I found you! Thank goodness." She said with a smile of relief.

"Why are you here?" He was not sure that was really her or just an illusion, but he still asked. 

"To save your life." Lunafreya answered softly. She sat beside him and started healing him. Her fingers glided over his chest, golden aura glowed between her fingers. And it greatly relieved his pain.

"No, stop it, please, stop." He refused. "This is not what you can heal. Darutos couldn't harm me this badly." He paused, collecting more strenght to continue. "I made a contract with the Kings. They made me a nightlong superhero and in the end they'll take my life."

"They will." Lunafreya nodded. "The price must be paid, the Oracle saw it. But her vision showed some more details that caused her to head back." She looked straight into his blue eyes. "Considering all danger and risks awaited, The Kings of Yore agreed, upon the Oracle's appeal, to give the hero another twenty days to finish a mission for their sake, escorting the Oracle and the ring to Tenebrae's border. But they can only temporarily halt the ongoing process so she must undo what had already occurred herself."

Nyx's eyes widened. Lunafreya's magic shone aggressively as she spoke. "Please consider my healing as my plea to you, Nyx. I need your help, one last time."  

Nyx was blinded by extremely bright aura for a moment. But when he regained his vision, all the wounds were healed. He saw Lunafreya with sweat all over her face. She looked extremely exhausted and was about to fall. Nyx wrapped his arms around her, offering his support. She rest her head on his shoulder. 

"Now rest. We have a long way to go." He said softly. 

"Thank you." The Oracle smiled and closed her eyes, passing out in his arms.

"Another contract to sign, huh?" Nyx whispered, smiling at her. "But, you know? If it's about you, I'll help without thinking twice." Lunafreya did not respond. She looked soundly asleep under the shade of him. He looked up to the brighter sky. The sun shone strongly and would make debris too hot to stay soon. 

Nyx stood up, carrying her in his arms. Thanked to her magic, he regained enough strength to do so. He wished he had some more to take her to a shelter. They needed some good rest after a very long day. Then he would collect supplies and start making an escape plan. He had another journey to begin, it sounded tough yet amazing.

Comrades, chapter 1.3.

Tremendously difficult for me to admit this, but I have to be honest with myself and recognise that I just don't have the time to render this next chapter to completion. I've been holding on to these pages for almost a year at this point - I've scripted so much of this story, but if I'm going to get it all out, bare bones at at times will have to do.

Next chapter will likely be sketchy as well... but one way or another I still want to tell this tale.

If you're still here and still interested... my sincerest thanks!

Rest of the pages here.
