#nyx is ardyns son

[raven-6-10]

@sparklecryptid @hamelin-born

Jean, you little shit! Did he really wait with warning Nyx until the last possible second? (yes, yes he did)

So who was doing the threatening and who the praising? Or did they take turns interrogating talking to Nyx and telling him they approve? Just don't break Jean's heart or they will never find you.

Can you imagine Nyx's reaction in the Mamma Mia au? Especially if the trio tries to give him the shovel talk for dating Jean?

Nyx: So-

Jean: Yeah the King, his Shield and the Lord Marshall are probably gonna come and give you a shovel talk at some point.

Nyx:....We've been together for six years. It's a bit late isn't it.

Jean: Six years and we're still not married, what would my father say.

Nyx: I asked!

Jean: And I refused - marriage is an institution i do not believe in.

Nyx: Which is why I didn't ask again. Back to your - fathers? - are we certain they are going to come and try to give me a shovel talk?

*the doorbell rings*

Jean: yes.

[ertrunkenerwassergeist]

Fire Priest!Ignis: five times somebody was surprised by Ignis knowing something random and unexpected, and the one time somebody figured it out.

(Bonus points if the person who figures it out is not Ardyn)

Ardyn figured it out within 3 seconds of meeting Ignis. He doesn't count. (He sits back and enjoys the show)

The first is when Ignis warns Gladio of when Iris's sickness will be flaring up again. Gladio doesn't really believe it. But then it happens. He really wants to ask Ignis how the fuck he knew that, but forgets to do it over caring for his sister.

The second would be when he tells a random stranger where he might find his mother's testament. The stranger is weirded out, Ignis is wondering why he told the guy that. Turns out he's right, though. It also turns out that the guy it Petra Fortis from the City Watch. So now Petra ows Ignis a big one :D

Third is when Ignis tells Cor that Gilgamesh is a hypocritic piece of shit and should not be trusted. He also gratulates Cor for cutting the man's/ghost's arm off. Cor is weirded out, becaus he never told the kids what exactly happened in Taelpar Crag. Before he can ask how exactly Ignis knows about this, he vanishes (and goes to track down Noctis in Deep City for the first time).

On his way down he meets Nyx. He tells him to talk to Petra. Nyx really doesn't want to do that. Ignis just tells him to say that Ignis sent him and to take him to one of the old cellars which were dug into the cliff Insmonia is build around. To incentivice Nyx, Ignis also tells him that he very much looks like his father Ilias. Nyx turns around at once and goes to track down Petra. He's convinced Ignis either got possessed by a Galahkari spirit, or is like the Wise One. Either way, he listens, and lo and behold, in that one wine cellar they find some very interesting documents and some stolen cultural objects.

Fifth is when he is looking after Solaris and Astra and starts to tell them stories about their ancestors. Stories no one should know about. Not that the kids know that. They're just happy about New Stories.

Noctis figures it out when one day, Ignis randomly drags him out of his clinic because 'it's time now'. He brings him to the grave of two Lucis Caelums which were buried close to the old palace. The first was Mendax Lucis Caelum II, titled The True (he's Somnus's son), and the second Atalanta Lucis Caelum, mother to Ardyn and Somnus. Noctis wonders why he didn't figure it out earlier. It's very obvious in hindsight.

[writermich18]

The Lucis Caelums are the Addams Family of Eos.

That's why Somnus, Regis, and the other LCs known for being weird, which is pretty much all of them except for the occasional normie LC, is Like That. Noctis was almost a normie, if he wasn't so warptastic and if Regis hadn't made the decision to purposefully expose his son to the Ulric who, to all the LCs who can sense him, is Like Them but a Little To The Left.

That's why there are hardly any LCs by the time of the main game - they were already a small clan to begin with, add in the War and their insane tactics and it makes sense why there's so little of them left.

Killing your sibling or your cousin in a gruesome way is just standard LC greeting. Outsiders just don't understand. And Somnus forgot that, though his brother is dramatic, before the Betrayal and Imprisonment, Ardyn was a normie.

Somnus was so dreadful (happy) when he realized his children took after him. He then warns them against doing Terrible Things that is standard greeting and happiness for them to Normies.

Regis was so happy when, during his journey, he realized he has free reign to do Terrible Things to Nielfhiem and not get scolded by his father for doing Terrible Things to a Normie.

Noctis and Nyx gleefully unleash Terrible Things upon Nielfhiem and Ardyn.

[charlottedabookworm]

*raises hand* I usually end up thinking about Ardyn in that verse quite a lot#like that’s his son’s reincarnation#and his son’s shields reincarnation is his brothers descendant#and technically the chosen king#Anyway I want to study this relationship in a Petri dish under a microscope bc it’s fun to think about - @cactusprisms

i have so many thoughts about ardyn in this verse and i cannot articulate any of them because-

because ardyn is two thousand years old and he is beaten and he is broken and he has become every inch the monster his brother thought him to be and he relishes in it and then-

and then there is this boy, this kingsglaive, guarding the pitiful form of the chosen king, the last of somnus' bloodsoaked line, and ardyn is going to tear everything from noctis lucis caelum, he is going to destroy every single thing the princeling loves before he fights him

he is going to leave this world in ash before he is finally granted what has been stolen from him for centuries, for millenia, and-

and then that kingsglaive. that chosen king.

they're-

ardyn does not have a soulmate. somnus hadn't had one either. not that ardyn knows

there was no moment of knowing for either of them and ardyn has lived for so long now, has looked into the eyes of so many, that he knows that there is no match for his soul. no partner to follow him into the afterlife. his soul is twisted and tainted and ardyn knows that beauty of a match is one he will never be granted, in this life or the next

but his son-

oneiros lucis caelum had been but ten summers old when he had first met letum, son of one of his most trusted knights. ardyn had been there, watching his son hold a wooden practice sword with a determined furrow to his brow, and he had seen it

in the flicker of a candleflame, he'd seen his son age. he'd seen his eyes widen. he'd seen him become

oneiros had still been his son. had still been the beautiful brilliant boy he'd raised who looked up at him with the same awe he gave the stars, but suddenly he was more

and he had thrown himself at letum, a handful of summers older and more than a head taller, with that same awe in his eyes

his son had always loved fiercely and truely but with letum, it was heightened. there was trust and love so ancient between the two of them, the air thick with a shared history long forgotten by the world itself, that it had caught ardyn's breath in his lungs

(ardyn had loved his son, fiercly and truly, since the moment he had first cast eyes upon the babe, still wet with the waters of the womb

he had grown to love letum, a son of his heart if not his blood, for how could he not? how could not love the man who loved his son with such devotion? how could he not grow to love his sons brother?)

and ardyn is a monster, now

he will destroy this world

he will end it all because only then will he be allowed to rest. only by wiping somnus' line from the world will his sons' know peace

bahamut had blessed their line and ardyn will destroy every remnant of it

he will shatter lucis and he will kill this chosen king and finally-

finally-

ardyn looks at the wide eyes of the chosen king. the kingsglaive at his side is pale. shaking.

the pitiful boy takes a half step in front of his protector, reaching to his hip for a sword that is not there and really, the child should have been better prepared, has his father taught him nothin-

the kinsglaive catches the boys hand. their fingers tangle together and the air is heavy and-

and he looks nothing like ardyn's son

oneiros had been born dark of hair, but it had quickly lightened to match the flame of ardyn's own. his eyes had been as brown as the earth at their feet, just as his mother's had been, and he had stood more than a head shorter than him when last ardyn had seen his son

(before his son was murdered by his brother- by the man who had taught oneirios to wield a sword, who had sworn him to knighthood, who had laughed and snuck sweets to him when he was in the library, who brought a gift back every time he returned to the castle)

the kingsglaive looks nothing like his son

but he swallows, pale and shaking, and ardyn can see oneirios on that fateful day, wide-eyed and too pale, shock leeching the colour from his skin

the kingsglaive holds the chosen kings hand, easily. causally. as if it is the simplest action in the world

oneirios used to do that with-

with a boy who would stand a half step in front of him, shielding his son with his body and his heart, a hand on his sword and-

they cannot be, ardyn thinks

they cannot be because if they are-

ardyn is a monster

he is the accursed. he is a pawn of bahamut. he will tear this world apart piece by piece because he has no choice wants it all to burn to ash

the scourge sings in his blood, it claws at his throat, and ardyn will destroy them all

he will kill the chosen king

he will-

'pater?' his son says

he will shatter

thinking about i'm sorry to give you these memories again and hmmm nyx would be so fucking awkward around regis now and it's not that he told the man's son to go fuck himself in front of him or that he'd gotten his son killed in too many lives or even that old hero worship rearing its head

it's that he knows regis is a good man. he does. regis is a good man who loves his son, nyx knows that to be true. it's just-

(he thought his patruus was a good man, once)

(somnus lucis caelum was a good man who spoke of honour, who tried to protect his family and their people

oneiros had squired at his knee, had learned the blade at his patruus' hands, and he had never once doubted that he was a good man. beloved by their people just as pater was

he had never once doubted his uncle's love for him)

(his uncle was a good man who loved his family)

(his uncle's sword pierced his pater's chest and his men's arrow in letum's lung and-)

(he's seen what good men will do)

yeah

nyx is awkward around regis these days

he can't help it (it's the trauma)

The magical kingdom of Lucis is home to the world’s last remaining Crystal, and the menacing empire of Niflheim is determined to steal it. King Regis of Lucis commands an elite force of soldiers called the Kingsglaive. Wielding their king’s magic, they fight to protect Lucis. As the overwhelming military might of the empire bears down, King Regis is faced with an impossible ultimatum – to marry his son, Prince Noctis to Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae, captive of Niflheim, and surrender his lands to Niflheim rule. Although the king concedes, it becomes clear that the empire will stop at nothing to achieve their devious goals, with only the Kingsglaive standing between them and world domination.

Adamantus (12/12)

Adamantus | saratogaroad rating: G+ total wordcount:  15,328 characters: Aulea Lucis Caelum, Regis Lucis Caelum, Noctis Lucis Caelum, Ardyn Lucis Caelum relationships: Aulea/Regis, Aulea & Noctis other tags: Mother-Son Relationship, Character Death, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence warnings: Character Death Starts The Plot

When Noctis is three years old, Regis takes ill. The doctor tells her that he will recover, that all will be well.

It isn't.

Aulea Lucis Caelum is left to raise a son on her own, knowing that a Kingdom depends on her strength and will to survive.

She will not lose him, too.

=

When Noctis returns home in the dead of night, Aulea is waiting for him. She waits in the courtyard as the airship touches down, waits as the hatch opens and she catches sight of Nyx, of Noctis hobbling down the ramp, and then she waits no longer.

She gathers up her skirts in both hands and runs to her son. It doesn't matter that he's already got three inches on her, he's still her baby, and she takes him into her arms with only the bustle of cloth and a soft sound of surprise from him to speak of her speed.

But then he reaches up with both arms and he clings to her, back bent and legs giving out. She carries them both to the ground, her skirts billowing in the grass, and doesn't care when he starts to sob into her shoulder. She rubs his back, cards her fingers through his hair, and hums a lullaby beneath her breath. He clings tighter still, and she looks up at Nyx when Ardyn does not step up behind the boy he has taken such a shine to. Nyx shakes his head, hands clasped at the small of his back.

"Chancellor Izunia passed away this morning, Majesty," Nyx says softly. Noctis' arms tighten around her. "In the light of the morning sun."

It is done, then. Aulea nods her understanding, then presses a kiss to Noctis' temple. He smells of smoke, of death. His shoulders tremble, his weight leans far too heavily against her for him to be entirely unharmed, but he lives. She looks up at the stars, tears welling in her eyes, and thanks all who listen for that.

She holds her son and lets him cry, heaving sobs that speak of grief she understands far too well. She lets him grieve for as long as he needs, and only when he moves does she pull away to look at his face, his red-lined eyes. He does not look at her, but rather at the ground between them.

"How do you..." He asks her quietly, hands clutching at hers. "How do you move on after you...after..."

He can't finish. Aulea swallows the urge to scoop him into her arms once more. Instead, she tightens her grip on his hands.

"It takes time," She says softly, "But..." To live well is a blessing, she swallows back. Ardyn had been his own brand of oddity, but he had stayed. He had helped her son in ways she would never have been able to. It is because of him that Lucis still stands, even if tensions remain, and it because of him that Noctis has come home. She squeezes his hands until he looks at her with soft blue-grey eyes.

"Never let anyone tell you how much time is enough, Noctis. Not even me. Even I do not get a say in how long this will take."

He makes a sound not unlike a snort and finally squeezes her hands in return.

"Guess you're not queen of everything, huh?"

She scrunches up her nose at him.

"I'm still queen of your bedtime, young man," She begins to stand, and though her back aches, she pulls him with her. Nyx finally steps off the airship. "Now come along--he wouldn't want you mourning him in the grass."

"No," Noctis says with something fond in his eyes as they walk to the bright light of the Citadel's halls together, "He'd want us to get extremely drunk instead."

Drink until dawn and damn the consequences...oh, she's too old for that anymore. But at the least the sun will still rise tomorrow, so perhaps...

"Perhaps a toast instead," She smiles a little. "To a good man indeed."

(In the years that followed the passing of Chancellor Izunia of Lucis, Niflheim would come under fire from within. Led by a young mercenary and her merry band, the reigning giants would be toppled. The new Empress Aranea Highwind would be quick to extend hands of reparation, first to Tenebrae, whose surviving people would return to crown Ravus Nox Fleuret their first King, and then to Lucis. Her lands would be returned to the Queen, and though it would take years, Aranea swore to undo the damage her nation had caused.

When it was all done, when the MTs had been laid to rest and reparations enacted, Aranea undid the Empire and returned it to her people, establishing a democracy.

"People should rule people," she would say when Aulea asked her once, at the former Empress' engagement party to Ignis after years of working together to fix the damage Iedolas had caused, "And I make a lousy Empress anyway. Too used to skewering things."

Nine years later, Aulea would step down from her throne as Queen of Lucis. She would crown her son the reigning King of Lucis, and take her place in the history of the great nation as one who had outwitted Gods and mortals alike. Her portrait would hang upon the walls of the Citadel, nestled between her husband and son. Her last decree, passed into law by King Noctis Lucis Caelum CXV, would be to hang a portrait of Ardyn at the beginning of the line. There it would remain, a memorial to the first, forever more.

Decades hence, surrounded by family of both blood and heart, Aulea Lucis Caelum would pass on into the Beyond, content in the knowledge that the world would be safe for generations to come and unwilling to bargain for more years in the sun.

After all, she had a reunion of her own to get to. And it wouldn't do to keep her beloved waiting any longer.)

Break Control

by AriDragon

Since ancient times, there has been a dark secret kept by the royals of Lucis, keepers of the crystal; that their world, Eos, is not alone. Over millennia there'd been many visitors to the lands of Eos, though those visits were brief and discreet. The public did not know of other worlds besides Eos. Until ten years ago, when the world of Thaos and its largest kingdom, Ikkaros, made permanent contact with the Kingdom of Lucis, offering goods in exchange for materials harvested from Lucian soil. It was because of them that Lucis had the supplies necessary to keep the empire of Niflheim at bay as they encroached on the crown city and its crystal. But little did they know, Ikkaros had schemes of its own. It all began with an offer of the hand of their princess, the fifth in line, as a way of bonding their nations and a promise to keep the empire at bay, but there was an ulterior motive. They needed to rid themselves of a troublesome princess, and they knew how to keep her silent. Regis has his own suspicions of the mysterious kingdom's motives, and thus, with his son already promised to Lunafreya, he chose Noctis's royal advisor in his place to keep an eye out for anything suspicious with the princess.

Nyx's Cork Board

Sorry for the delay; things got crazy during NyxWeek2022! But we’re finally back with the promised deep dive into Nyx’s Board.

If you have a moment, please fill out our survey for future events, open until May 27th, 2022; it would really help us. We hope you enjoy this look at some of Nyx’s memories, and look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Let’s move roughly counterclockwise around the board, taking a look at each section as best we can.

LUCIS WITHDRAWS: Niflheim calls for surrender in territories

For 120 years, the force wall stood tall. Yet the six score of silence the royal house of Lucis had built would come crashing down as the nation was dragged back into the grips of this war, which has ended in defeat once again for the kingdom. As King Morus (sic) has reduced the radius of the wall in order to concentrate its protective energy, Emperor Iedolas Aldercapt of Niflheim has called for the surrender of the outlying cities and settlements.

Three questions: 1) who is the figure standing next to Aldercapt? From the clothing, he appears to be part of Niflheim, but the dark hair is weird. Not Besithia, nor Ardyn. His son? A random minister or general?

2) Who wrote this article? Niflheim or Lucis? “Ended in defeat once again for the kingdom” doesn’t sound very pro-Lucis.

3) How did Nyx get this article from when he was like 2 years old that looks like it was freshly printed? (3b, what kind of paper are newspapers in Lucis printed on to not yellow?) Did Nyx raid a library here in Insomnia?

World News: NIFLHEIM ATTACK ON GALAHD: A Show of Force?

Galahd was raided by imperial forces late last night, according to reports. The Crown City dispatched forces upon hearing of the attack, but the damage was nevertheless devastating, and the number of casualties reported has risen steadily with the morning sun. Galahd resisted the imperial call for surrender after the wall was withdrawn, but has not seen hostilities in the 18 years leading up to last night.

Lots of interesting implications about what happened in Galahd. From the sound of this, Lucis swept in the night of the attack and helped repel it, but that could be propaganda, and we don’t know what happened after this first night. But it’s really disturbing that this is such a small blurb on what’s clearly a middle page without even a “continued on page n”. Also, this was clearly written in Insomnia, lending credence to the theory of Nyx raiding a library here.

There are three pictures of life on Galahd – a picture of the river similar to the poster above Nyx’s bed; two kids in shorts and no shirts (Libertus and Nyx?) swinging from the trees, presumably into the water; and a gathering of what looks like Selena, Nyx, a young dark-haired girl who might possibly be Crowe?, a blonde that’s probably Luche, and Libertus hanging out as dorky teens. It’s nostalgic and a little sad. I’m glad Nyx has these pictures, though.

The picture of the boys looks like a painting, though it could just be an effect, and is burned along the left edge, as well as having white along the edge that looks like it might have been a photocopy originally. It’s definitely seen some damage, though.

We vaguely recall reading somewhere that the group photo was adapted from a picture of the mo-cap artists as an easter egg. Can anyone verify that?

Up at the very top are two illegible handwritten yellow sticky notes, one pinned down for security, and a Lil Malbuddy charm like Crowe has on her phone. I wonder what the story is there…

Next to it is a ticket from Galahd to Insomnia. (Inso-Cava perhaps? For Insomnia-Cavaugh?) Is this from when Nyx first came? By boat, presumably? It looks rather like a Japanese train ticket, though. Perhaps it’s a later trip. It does imply someone’s able to be issuing tickets in Galahd, not just a pel-mel evacuation.

Comparing it to Japanese train tickets (courtesy of Shinkansentrains.com) , the number on the side is probably a date, formatted with the year first, and an easter egg, given that there isn't much going on in years ending in 7 that we might care about, even if we make it Regis’ regnal years. Heisei 27 in the Japanese calendar is the year 2016 in the Western, the year the movie came out, and 7-11 matches the July 9th opening weekend.

If it’s a real in-universe date, it’s probably from a more casual trip Nyx took at a different time. 11270 G is probably the price in gil, and if we convert that to yen that’s about $88 USD or €83. C-05 is probably the compartment number, then.

On to the middle of the board!

Young Libertus and Nyx are kind of adorable. It looks like Nyx has both kukris at this point, and maybe Libertus is carrying a more standard kukri rather than his axe-like one of later in the series. Nyx already has his uniform chain across his chest.

KING REGIS FORGES KINGSGLAIVE IN THE ASHES OF GALAHD

King Regis has formally invited brave volunteers from Galahd to take residence in Insomnia and serve in his royal guard – the Kingsglaive.

A representative of Galahd voiced the citizens’ commitment to resistance one month in the wake of a devastating invasion.

King Regis praised this commitment, promising regular provisions and patrols to Galahd in return.

Okay, so more questions here. It’s unclear if this resistance is to continued invasions of Galahd one month after the main raid, or just resistance against Niflheim in general, especially with Regis promising patrols to Galahd. I don’t think it was utterly destroyed, though, as is often seen in fanon, not if he’s sending supplies and patrols. Plus, in Brotherhood, we hear the Empire tested the wavebreaker in Galahd, which implies people wielding magic are fighting there still, years later.

Second, is that Libertus and Nyx flanking Regis? How fast did they sign up and get cleared? Or is it just coincidence/laziness from the animators?

Third, this seems to fit the timeline for the Kingsglaive being established when Noctis was 5 (about three years before this), with Galahdans being asked to join not found the Kingsglaive. I wonder how many times Regis made this offer to various regions?

To be continued in Part II

[sparklecryptid]

Inspired by one of @raven-6-10 latest asks:

Pre-reveal Ace gets deaged in the Citadel (visiting glaives?) and in his panic at being on the mainland in front of the king/king-adjacent people accidentally activates one of Ardyn's emergency beacons. Cue Ardyn warping in ready to Murder™ and Ace jumps at him and calls him Dad.

Several things occur in the instant between Ace seeing the King in person for the first time and making the choice to strategically retreat and one of the Glaives firing off a new spell they were testing. Ace backs away from the King and his retainers, Cor notices Ace backing away and makes a beeline for him, Ace pales and attempts to disengage from his conversation with Luche to avoid Co and then the spell the Glaive was casting misfires and hits Ace square in the chest before any of them can react.

There is a brief flash of light and when the light dims everyone is staring at a child.

Ace stares at the area he's in, the people he's in front of, and though he hides it well the growing panic on his face is obvious. Nyx and Libertus are the first to move but then-

Another flash of light and Ardyn is there. The relief on Ace's face made more apparent with how worry had worn its way into it mere seconds before.

"Dad!" Ace calls and clings to Ardyn's coat.

Libertus makes a noise like someone stabbed him.

Nyx looks like he's rewriting several pages of his future plans.

Luche suddenly has a headache the size of an imperial battleship.

Regis coughs and the attention diverts to the King.

"Chancellor." Regis is pleasant even when he doesn't want to be. "Mind telling me the reason for this intrusion?"

"You have my son." The answer is direct and Ace looks like he wants the ground to swallow him whole. "I would be remiss as a parent if i allowed anything to happen to him, isn't that right Father?"

? About AU’s

Do you think you could do a quick summary of your AU’s? I get some of them but I’m confused by what others are (Time is cruel but gods are crueler for example) - Queenie

oooooh boy

okay so i’m assuming you mean the aus on my ffxv au list cos if you don’t we’re going to be here all day

…frankly we might be here all day anyway but starting from the top:

ardynson au: pretty self explanatory, explores a verse where nyx is born as ardyn’s son

graveyard of blades: a reveal au of the ardynson au where in a ‘fuck this is bad invasion scenario’ nyx basically goes ‘yo bahamut i’m the accursed’s son come and get me’ and then runs through the crowd of enemies as bahamut tries to kill him

time is cruel: another ardynson au except this time nyx is born as ardyn’s son two thousand years ago and the curse that bamahut puts on ardyn to never die extends to ardyn’s whole line. so nyx and ardyn are both alive, don’t know the other is alive, and finally meet again in the throne room of insomnia in the kingsglaive film

the cruellest cut: an au of time is cruel that is. incredible similiar except cor is also there as ardyn’s shield and husband. all three of them alive but with no idea anyone else survived and it’s basically time is cruel but with extra angst and then extra fluff reunions

that one where aulea is also ardyn’s daughter: again, pretty self explanatory. aulea and nyx are both ardyn’s kids. yes this makes noctis nyx’s nephew.

 regisson au: nyx is regis’ son

one more light: a regisson au that involves nyx sacrifiing himself at the end of the game in noct’s place and then time travel happens and noct is, shockingly, not happy that his big brother sacrificed hismelf for him

fractured lightning: regisson au where nyx is captured by niflheim for a few years and experimented on. much angst

blood of the storm: regisson au where half the glaive is full of galahdian noble bastards. libertus is clarus’. crowe is a bastard cousin of luna and ravus. selena ulric is aldercapts bastard daughter. pelna is wesk’s. this entire au is just crack okay

starlight on your skin: regisson au where platonic soulmates are a thing, soulmarks are a thing, the long night happens and nyx is basically the only one left and astrals send him back in time to fix things. he crashes in the past in front of his younger self and oh shit wasn’t i halfway througha  chapter for that one?

somnusson au: as you can guess, nyx is somnus’ son. i’m not very creative sometimes

dying inside: first fic in the somnusson au, also on ao3. somnus loves his son and kills him for standing with ardyn anyway. much angst. very hurt. sad.

a lesson in time: sequel to dying inside, also on ao3

the phoenix must burn: more stuff in the dying inside au

prompto ulric au: prompto is nyx’s son

you’re the best thing that ever happened to me: a teenage nyx rescues a baby from a nif lab. he’s a dad now. very cute

lightning flashes (and you are free): a fusion of fractured lightning and prompto ulric. this is the happier verse that’s also on ao3

galahdian royalty: galahd has it’s own kings. (nyx. it has nyx. yes i’m obessed with nyx you might have guessed that by now)

platonic promnoct time travel: the game happens. prompto and noctis wake up 16 and grieving and PTSD ridden and determined to change things. also on ao3 under our past is everything we failed to be

si!iris verse: iris is an oc insert from the modern world. amicitia’s are related to ulrics in this. i haven’t touched this au in years wow

styx ulric verse: nxy and selena have a third sibling. styx is an oc insert with game knowledge who is wesk’s daughter and absolutely determined that her brother is gonna live. makes a name for herself as both an academic and a heretic. half the tag is fake tweets

nox fleuret bastard verse: amatus (mat) is sylva’s bastard son. he runs from tenebrae when niflheim invades when he’s a kid. he becomes a glaive marries nyx makes a life for himself and then oh the captain who is like their father is the man who murdered his mother

virtus fic: oc glaive who died in the long night time travels, understandably has issues, rescues baby noct from the marilith. also on ao3. trying desperatelt to work on the next chapter of this cos i got a really nice comment recently

ramuhson au: again, selfexplanatory. nyx is ramuh’s son

that one au were somnus is actually a decent human being: somnus isn’t a dick. he stands with his brother. bahamut is far more of one by forcing him

ardyn king of galahd verse: galahd still recongises ardyn as their king, nyx is ramuh’s chosen. obviously this causes problems when ardyn appears in the lucian throne room and all of galahd recongises him as their lost king

uncle cor au: cor is nyx and selena’s uncle

si!somnus verse: somnus is an oc insert with game and medical knowledge. is fully determined to save his brother. bahamut doesn’t care and somnus is forced to kill his brother anyway. somnus is cursed and eventually reunites with his brother. one day i will actually write this fic

oc assassin aldercapt verse: aris is an oc thief/assassin reincarnated as aldercapt’s son. sentinal guide au. aris fakes his own death blows up half the palace and runs away to insomnia only to be eventually recognised by arydn who still terrifies him

titus has a kid verse: abo au where titus has a daughter who is being held hostage to make titus do what niflheim wants. she escapes and spends years searching for a cure for the glauca parasite in her dad. eventually joins the glaive under a fake id to do this

cor bastard kid verse: cor has a kid. kid is a nursing student who used ot tutor prompto. he adopted the kid basically

yan conall royal bastard with regrets au: yan is regis’ bastard child. he’s a hunter. he does not realise the kid he saves is actually his brother until too late cos regis - who doesn’t recognise who he is - drags him back to insomnia for a reward and yan is full of many regrets

wolfshifter ardyn au: ardyn is a wolfshifter. on his trip to niflheim, cor comes back with a wolf and a baby. somewhat crackish

aulea has a sister: who is an archaeologist. she’s on a dig when noct is born and her sister dies and anyway noct grows up with an aunt who loves him and is also like fuck that prophecy historically they’re bullshit

ghosts of our souls: nyx and noct are platonic soulmates. when one of your dies the other one follows them around as a ghost. you don’t know you’re soulmates until one of you is dead. there’s time travel. regis is very confuzzled

ardyn and nyx are timelords: ardynson au where ardyn’s mum was a timelady and so nyx and ardyn go on adventures in her tardis

clown and the accursed: verse where allen walker (d.gray-man) is born as ardyn’s son

nyx is zack reborn: self explanatory

apollo kid yeeted into eos: kid from pjo gets a prophecy. gets yeeted into eos. i never got very far with this one cos i forgot to write down where i was going with it

MT reincarnate siblings: a handful of the MT’s are reincarnates. one is Tobirama (naruto). another is a soldier from ffvii. the last is a scientist from solheim. they live in altissia

[noirbriar]

FFXV Drabble/ ficlet dump (AU)

Going on a small nostalgic trip back to an old fandom!Going to put some points down in case I ever feel like writing something more for this. FFXV Hardcore Lore folks pls don’t hurt me.This is an AU I repeat an AU fan indulgent drabble.Mostly to satisfy my need for Prompto,Cor being a dad, Nyx content, more Kingsglaives and Galahd things,happy Chocobros, a HE for everyone even Ardyn as we be petty shit against the astrals. Except Drautos. That guy and Verstael can remain in a ditch with Bahamut. (pairing spoilers in tags) Anyways carry on! -Everything mostly canon except for Prompto being adopted by Cor Leonis’ household but carries the name Argentum because Cor wants his boy to live properly without worrying enemies finding his weakness.Especially with how he is always deployed out. -Cor is not religious even to the Astrals.He grew up in the wild borders of Insomnia and learnt to rely himself above all.He doesn’t even give a damn to Gilgamesh when he was a kid. But he will be damned if he says he doesn’t feel...tense as strange power of magic fills the room when his baby cub babbles into thin air at times. -Prompto grows up with Noctis,Ignis and Gladiolus similar to brotherhood. (Iggy always worries that Prompto’s parents aren’t around but Prompto always reassures he sees them often and have mandatory breakfast with them whenever possible.) -Sunshine boy actually knows he’s from Niflheim very early on, and grows up with the immigrant community very well. He knows and was raised to accept himself (”Remember, no matter what,this thing,”Cor points to that code on this wrist,” doesn’t define you Prompto, but whats in you.You are a Lucian and be proud of how special you are, and above all else you are our son.”) He even have braids in his hair by Galahd grandmothers. Niflheim defectors always make sure that the boy who volunteers in their corner of Insomnia (worse than the Little Galahd, and thats saying something) has homemade sweets. Also, Kingsglaive members recognise Prom when he first came to the Citadel as the Prince’s friend and watches over the little happy chocobo chick who grew up around their neighbourhood

-Prompto never liked being near Drautos and never knew why and always made it a point to tell Cor (”He feels just wrong, I don’t know dad.He just feels like...Death.”)

-During the announcement of the ceasefire, Prompto tries to bring cheer to the troubled Galahdians, he can’t shake off the feeling of terribleness in his bones either. He also lets the glaives who help to train him for the Crownsguard exam vent but some like Tredd and Luche don’t seem themselves but he thinks its the tension amongst everyone due to the War.  -He sees dark vines around Crowe and fear. He grabs her hand,tells his favourite aunt (”I’m your only aunt you lil chocobo!”) to be careful heading out. He sends her off with a soft galahdian prayer.

-There is nothing but a mess of dark vines in this Citadel.A Garden of Death.And it grows. -Before leaving Altissia, he holds the bead in his braid and tries to look forward to spending time with his best friends instead. His fathers said everything will be alright. -He believes them. -Insomnia falls. -They return to Insomnia at the overlooking cliff and Cor contacts them, tells them nothing but to gather at Hammerhead. -Noctis is about to snap from the wait but as he nearly charges out of the underground bunk, Cor appears with Nyx bleeding out while Libertus and a roughed up Crowe with a missing eye follows behind covering a weakened Regis and Clarus in even worse shape being supported by Pelna and Lunafreya.The old Shield has lost his arm.Cid is loud to hide his worry while he fusses the pack in.

-Noctis runs over to his dad and in worry and relief,and is confused at seeing Luna with them. While Ignis and Gladio focus on Clarus. Prompto is crying as he reunites with Cor and Nyx.He greats them with a touch of their foreheads together. His fathers are safe, his family is safe,his home, them, safe. (”S-silly cub, I’m the Hero, I’m fine,see?Not dead.” That earns Nyx a smack on his mangled arm from his Husband as Prompto makes a dying squeak at that) -When everyone finally settles down.The fact that Cor is married (”ELOPED!” Regis and Clarus corrects) to Nyx (”Technically, we just co-parented thats all and-””Nyx.””I’ll shut up,my heart.”) and Prompto is their adopted son (”A-argentum?!””Its a cover.””That explains the lock on your file and why his majesty did not even bother reading it...interesting””This is why you always seem happy the train with Marshal huh?””What the-I-i’m your best friend Prom!””I don’t want you to think im here out of obligation Noct?I just want to be friends??”) -Crowe by some luck or divine luck manage to get away with a loss of her eye and manages to return to Insomnia after killing Luche, Pelna escorts Luna, Nyx and Clarus throws off Drautos/Glauca enough to escape.However to face down Niff army Regis is in near stasis.Nyx tries to convince the King to bargain with his damn ancestors to awaken the old wall.He will act as vessel instead for Regis and brings down Glauca as well.(This earns him a near stab from Cor who is giving him the silent treatment later for probably only 52 minutes.)  -Crowe and Cor manages to find them in the center of madness and leaves the ruined city.Nyx tells them later, the old kings for some reason mangle his arm instead of his life (Cor is this close to committing murder and become a widower) saying something like a divine being already claimed his soul. -With the battered (old) crew unable to move anywhere for now, the Chocobros and Luna leave to gather arms and make the covenants with the astrals. Camping with each other and Luna is fun apart from the occasional wildlife and dropship ruining dinner. And being so close makes them feel safe and warm if anything else. And If passing by Costlemark made Prompto shake and eerily possessed? Probably just haunted. They avoid trying to read into it while Luna senses her magic reacting strangely to Prompto on occasion. -The astrals seem to fear Prompto,almost. Prompto thinks its because he is Niff blood and they are trying to kill the gods so shrug.jpg Ramuh is probably the only one not giving him problems probably because most Galahd folks are under his protection. -Ardyn is a pest and he is very intrigued by Prompto as his daemons within hate this tiny boy.

-In Altissia, Leviathan goes mad as usual especially when Prompto interrupt’s Ardyn’s madness of trying to kill Luna. Later, Noct finds out when he awakes is news that Prompto has been taken by the Empire.

-They receive feed from of Prompto’s torture but Prompto manages to escape and wanders the facility. He contacts his friends and family but not before daemon Ardyn appears at the back and the video gets cut.

-Cor and Nyx go nuts and tears everything apart while Regis,Claus,the remaining Insomnia army and kingsglaive join with Ravus, Arenea and Tenebrae in pushing into the Empire’s territory. -They find Prompto but they also find a dead Empire covered in vines and floating lights of souls. A dead Aldercapt is the least of their worries because Prompto is there,gaunt,wounded and pale but still alive.The Crystal in a menacing light behind while his hand remains on Ardyn’s face, vines of death dancing across his skin,eating away his scourge, the dead spirits hovers and fades as the fallen king gasps, the first air of freedom in a long while before he collapses. -”Prom?” Noctis tries to reach out to his friend “No Noctis...That may not be our Prompto fully.”Luna softly voices out. ”Indeed.”Gentiana appears.”In this land where the dead thrives, he was born, here, he was chosen with her remaining strength.”  “What...was he chosen for?”  “To stop the end of Man.”  “By whom?” “...In Galahd…We have a deity that we evoke other than the astrals.She was mostly forgotten when the astrals came.An old power even before Solhiem.One whose name we sing in prayers when a life ends.” Nyx sighs as he holds onto Cor, whose eyes ever left his son,his hand clutching his katana turning bone white. “Etro.” -Turns out Etro is less than pleased that the astrals who she had welcomed onto her star have driven her out.The loss of faith made her lonely and powerless.Galahad is probably the last place her name is spoken even though rarely.The once patron god of Eos, reduced to nothingness. While she watch them murder her children on her star. -Cor has never told anyone other than Nyx of the dreams of a dark Garden and a quiet being guiding him into a factory, deeper into a lab where cries of the dead scream into his ears, though in the screams he hears, a quiet soft cry that he can never forget. -Their meeting was more than fate but regardless, Cor and Nyx protects their son.A Lion and Coeurl and their cub.Theirs. -”Everything lives.everything dies.even gods.” The vessal of Etro whispers. “And even you. Bahamut.” The crystal that was once her heart that now houses a mad draconian s c r e a m s _-_-_ PART 2 HERE
