3 Ships

Joshua Rosfield/Suraya Murdoch (Final Fantasy 16) These two have lived rent-free in my head and my soul since Final Fantasy 16 game out. Still waiting for it to come to PC so I can actually play it but I digress. Hasn't stopped my brain from coming up with something. Somehow their story ended up being childhood friends to lovers to boot. Normally I go for an older man, younger woman vibe. But for these two? It's reversed and it's wild and I adore it. Joshua being the inheritor of the Rosarian Duchy and Suraya being the adopted daughter of Rodney and Hanna Murdoch. So, the two of them inadvertently got pushed together during the early years since her father wanted her to get the most out of her upbringing, self-defense being a top priority along with her studies. Suraya was and still is incredibly protective of Joshua's happiness and hated his mother with a burning passion for how she treated all of them, even to her own detriment. That said, Joshua formed feelings first when they were children, but never had a chance to speak of them before the fall of Phoenix Gate. So it was years before anything could happen. Suraya on the other hand, never had a chance to even think about it until they were reunited, and she had to come to terms with the fact that her ten-year-old friend was no longer a boy, but was actually a young man determined to bring her the happiness and joy she gave him, should she wish it.

Vergil/Alya (Devil May Cry) These two shitheads have also been living rent-free in my head since 2019 and have given me at least five different massive fanfic reworks since then. And it continues to morph and change so I just keep flipping my desk over at this point. Anyway, for these two it was never an overt thing. They pretty much fell together without ever explicitly talking about it as neither was looking for a relationship. Behind the scenes Dante was over Vergil's bullshit, Trish and Lady were over Alya's bullshit, and Nero was like: fuck that I'm not getting involved, and watched from the sidelines with Nico who had a betting pool that everyone was in on much to the pair's annoyance after the fact. Either way, Alya wanted answers after her father was murdered and Devil May Cry is who ended up coming to her aid. To that end, it opens up a massive can of demons and angels. But those angels aren't your traditional light and loving kind. Having the upbringing Vergil had, or lack thereof after his mother's death, he was always wary about opening up again, and in many ways still is, but Alya takes it in stride. And for that, Vergil is silently grateful. In turn, he is her protector and rock, and a good listening ear. What he can't say in verbal words, he will say in written poetry. This is more of my status quo, older man, younger woman vibe, but with the added bonus of magic, demons, and a slow-burn romance.

Graha Tia/Khulan Noykin (Final Fantasy 14) Listen, when I got into Final Fantasy 14 back during ARR, me and my Warrior of Light didn't think too much of the Allagan cat boy. He was a friend, nothing more to her at the time, and while she did mourn for him when he locked himself in the Crystal Tower, she also understood. Plus, she was dealing with her own feelings for a certain rogue bard soon-to-be gunbreaker. It wasn't until Shadowbringers that Graha Tia came in dropkicking Khulan in the face, and Thancred being a complete ass didn't help. Khulan during this time saw much of herself in Graha Tia's willingness to die for a cause and hated it. Not him of course, but seeing a mirror of some of your faults is never a fun thing. As their friendship developed after defeating Emet Selch, it eventually became a dance around the subject of feelings. Graha never feeling like he was good enough for her and Khulan feeling the exact same way but of herself towards him. Everyone else saw it as it was blatantly obvious, but the events of Endwalker came before anything could become of it. Khulan ends up in a dark place during this time, almost robotic like her ARR self, but a lot more deadly than her early days of being just an arcanist. It's when she begins losing her friends that the walls around her heart begin to break, and Graha's sacrifice was the breaking point. When all of it was over and they were back home, the two of them start to explore something more as Khulan recovered from her fight with Zenos. Now, going into the events of Dawntrail, me nor Khulan know where this is going to go. But hey! it's a new adventure!

First Ship

We're going back to when I was but a small eight/nine year old child and loved Ash and Misty as a pairing. During this time I didn't know what fandom was or that people wrote fanfic and created art. So it was mostly me creating terrible drawings. Did I self insert into pokemon as well? Of course I did! lol

Last Song

"The Phoenix" from Fall Out Boy. I just discovered it after find a GMV for Final Fantasy 16. It was so good I had to find it in my Apple Music and is now on repeat. I regret nothing regarding my hyperfixation.

Currently Reading

"A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas. Yes I'm late to the game, but hey! I made it! Am I only on chapter 3? Also yes, but hey, I'll get throgh it eventually.

Last Film

I think it was Mission Impossible 3? It was on at work so it was just background noise.

Currently Craving

A vacation. A true, real, good vacation. Tagging anyone who wants to do it

Continued from here:

These encounters were always so bittersweet.

Cidolfus Telamon would come to Rosalith Castle on behalf of King Barnabas, and it was, naturally, meant to be entirely political. And perhaps it was; perhaps these brief encounters were naught more than just another method of getting into the Archduke's good graces for business purposes. To lull him into lowering his defenses, and to try to manipulate him for Waloed's benefit. Or maybe they were empty, playful flirting, meant for both parties to have a moment's reprieve from the seriousness, the tenseness, of the ambassador's news and proposals.

Elwin wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. But he still enjoyed them nonetheless -- looked forward to them, even.

With a soft, lighthearted little laugh, he allowed himself to be pulled closer. When the Lord Commander's hand sought his waist, his own free one moved to the other's shoulder. The one held in his own received an affectionate squeeze; just the smallest, subtlest gesture, before gloved fingers laced between Cid's.

"I trust you." Not that he wouldn't fight back if Waloed's representative did try to harm him -- and it would not be a fight easily won by the other, no matter how relaxed Elwin was at this moment. "Quite the charming tongue you have, Lord Commander. No wonder King Barnabas sees fit to always send you."

As far as the Duchess knew, the two were discussing the state of affairs between Storm and Ash, and whether or not an alliance was at all feasible -- especially because of Waloed's complex(a term used generously to describe it) relationship with the Holy Empire. And if she did suspect anything between them, she expressed not a single care. Still, he did feel guilty for these simple pleasures, pleasures he was otherwise deprived of, even with his close friendship with Rodney and Hanna Murdoch.

As his gaze fixed upon Cid's eyes, taking in the details of his features as though committing them to memory once more, the smile that hinted at the corners of his lips was warm as the sun. That same warmth reflected in his eyes, speaking towards the unspoken affection he had developed towards him. No, this was not long-lasting, and they both knew it well; but they could enjoy it until its end, savor each moment as though it was the last.

Another quiet, breathy laugh. With permission granted, he began to lead Cid into a slow, albeit small, dance. As they swayed about the carpeted floor of his study, the Archduke briefly brought the other's hand to his lips to offer a kiss to his knuckles. An ambiguous enough gesture regarding his personal feelings.

"Your company," was the simple, and direct, answer.

The Archduke's Dragon (67010 words) by diremore Chapters: 6/6 Fandom: Final Fantasy XVI Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Dion Lesage/Joshua Rosfield, Clive Rosfield/Jill Warrick Characters: Dion Lesage, Joshua Rosfield, Clive Rosfield, Rodney Murdoch, Hanna Murdoch, Jill Warrick Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Canon-Typical Violence, Dion's mother and Hanna Murdoch are sisters, Dion grows up in Rosaria, but he's still Bahamut, Sylvestre Lesage loses his easy ticket to the Imperial Throne, Dion gets a loving family, descriptions of curse-related lithification

Summary:

After his birth mother gave everything to escape Sylvestre Lesage’s clutches, Dion grows up a commoner in Eastpool and in the care of his adoptive parents Lord Commander Rodney and Hanna Murdoch. For his own safety, Dion is taught to suppress his powers and distance himself from all courtly affairs—compelled to watch and admire the Rosfield brothers only from afar.

But the call of Bahamut and a far greater purpose grows too strong. When Dion comes of age at fifteen, he presents himself as a Shield recruit, hoping to serve directly under First Shield Clive Rosfield and become protector of Joshua Rosfield, Dominant of the Phoenix and soon-to-be crowned Archduke of Rosaria.

Headcanon time, this one regarding my Elwin's relationship with the Murdochs!

Rodney and Hannah were Elwin's dearest, most trusted friends, as well as having been his lovers before his marriage to Anabella. During the rest of the year in Rosalith, Rodney and Elwin were inseparable -- but once summer came around and the Rosfield family would take to Eastpool to spend time with the Murdoch family, the duo happily became a trio again with Hannah joining their ranks -- though Hannah was oftentimes the one pulling Rodney, Elwin, and Byron as well, out of trouble. (And it was usually Byron leading the charge into one mess or another.)

Although the three were in a polyamorous relationship together, Elwin was always respectful -- as well as encouraging -- of Hannah and Rodney's marriage and family life. In addition to the three genuinely being happy together, I also like to think that seeing the Murdoch couple in a happy, loving, and supportive marriage had another beneficial effect for Elwin, in that it gave him a positive example of how a marriage should theoretically be -- thus arming him to be able to view his own toxic and emotionally empty marriage to Anabella in a more critical or discerning light, instead of him just accepting it as par the course for marriages(even if his marriage was meant to be political, rather than loving).

The bond between Rodney, Hannah, and Elwin was absolutely unshakeable.

Oh no, he’s hot.

[kihel-sorcas]

Other minor characters in FFXVI that are potentially right up my muse-alley, because they appear just short af:

redheaded rosarian shield knight Tyler, that went along with young Clive and tried helping Elwin and Joshua at Phoenix Gate. Apparently not alive 18 years later.

leading knight that apparently was right under Anabella’s orders and beheaded Elwin. Got incinerated by Joshua.

Gerulf, Benedikta‘s second in command. Got axed.

Rodney Murdoch. Obviously.
