#sanson x guydelot

[dragons-bones]

*slides you some monopoly money* Please would you tell us if you have any headcanons for how Rereha dealt with the Disaster Gay Couple (Sanson and Guydelot) during the Bard questline?

So Rereha knows you cannot force things when it comes to romance and/or sexual tension. You can poke and prod and nudge and encourage, but you cannot be forceful. It spooks the idiots morons individuals involved.

Sanson and Guydelot drove her fucking spare. Worse than Synnove and Aymeric, because that was a when and not an if.

Guydelot, like Rere, is a ho, but he's the kind of ho who doesn't immediately pick up on anything less than blatant attraction from the other party. Sanson I see as a flavor of demi with a hefty dose of hyperfixated on his goals, so he wouldn't recognize having a crush if it punched him in the stomach. Put these two together and you have constant sniping and growling and teasing and incredible amounts of sexual tension that neither are aware of.

Rere spent a number of nights flopped on the ground in Grandpa Jehantel's camp, staring up at the canopy while Jehantel strummed his harp or tuned her violin for her, and whined incessantly about how fucking stupid the pair were with zero indication either of them understood what hints she kept dropping. Jehantel just laughed at her.

She definitely screeched "FINALLY" at full volume when they finally got a clue and had their first sloppy makeout after defeating the Siren.

Oh hey I forgot I did a Sanson and Guydelot gpose cause I love them so much!!!

[headcanons-n-shit]

could i ask for some headcanons of sanson and guydelot with an m!viera wol?? i need to be self-indulgent, fluff or smut or anything you want is fine i am just 👀🥺

ngl it's my personal headcanon that viera aren't actually all that rare in Gridania, they're just reclusive. A lot of refugees and diaspora who sought a home in the relative familiarity of The Black Shroud and Abalathia's Spine. You'll be lucky to see one once in a blue moon, but they are there.

The thing is that Sanson saw you once, and that's really all it took. There is something to be said about a viera's lance technique, that easy smoothness that is the envy of any self-respecting Wood Wailer, and you are going to teach him how to do that if he has to chase you to the ends of the planet.

But what started out as pestering you for lance lessons eventually becomes daydreams about. Ahem. "Lance lessons". Sanson can't help it! You're just. So tall. So graceful. And your ears look so soft. And Sanson just. Urgh. He's so down bad.

He thinks his partner would be jealous, but really Guydelot just laughs. Guydelot knows Sanson's type, and it's not like they havent been toying with the idea of a third for a while now. And if Guydelot had to pick someone, well... He clearly has a thing for lancers, and Sanson wants to be able to keep looking Ywain in the eye, and you are the kind of looker that any self-respecting bard writes songs about.

Guydelot wants to court you like any proper elezen would, and Sanson wants to just ignore it because he values your friendship and he doesn't want to ruin it. But also every time you touch he feels like he's going to burn up, and every time you get sweaty during training and have to shed your shirt his soul leaves his body. Worse, Guydelot keeps taunting him with you, and. Well.

Guydelot is a bard. He definitely knows how to spin a thread about all the things you could do with your hands, you mouth, your coc--

At some point it comes to a head. Morning is leaning into hot, heavy afternoon in a quiet, private glade where you prefer to train, and Guydelot has given up all pretense of practicing his songs in favor of watching the two of you spar. He's getting good, enough that he can take you off guard, taking your legs out from under you as he takes you to the ground. Except you twist as you land, so that he is beneath you when you hit the dirt, and your thick thigh is angled just so, and--

Sanson is hard and hot in his loose pants, and he whines so pretty when you accidentally grind against him.

You raise an eyebrow as you glance at Guydelot, who looks oh so much like the cat who's caught the cream.

"Don't stop on my account," he purrs, even as Sanson squirms underneath you. "I've heard such flattering things about your lance technique."

My friend and I talked about our headcanons for Sanson and Guydelot's chocobos

Sanson's is very yellow and he is named Chief. He's got the fancy Adder barding and he's a very serious bird. Well trained and follows orders from his master without hesitation.

Guydelot's is a bright blue, and she is named Kazoo. She's a nudist and walks with an odd sassy strut at times like she's trying to sway her hips. She also attempts to 'sing' along with Guydelot's music at times, but can't carry a tune to save her life. Guydelot still encourages her. Sanson wishes he wouldn't.

Both birds were present for the HW events, during which Chief ignored Kazoo and Kazoo found him boring and not worth her time. However at one point Chief rescued her from some wolves when she went wandering off and she became smitten. Sanson and Guydelot were both amazed and bewildered when they witnessed Kazoo doing mating displays for Chief constantly, which is rather backwards, but Kazoo said fuck your gender norms apparently.

(basically this video)

Chief seemed mortified by these constant dances and tried to ignore them but by the end of the trip he had apparently been won over judging by the egg Guydelot found Kazoo proudly sitting on their first night back in Gridania.

Chief has declined to comment.

Homeward (Orpheus/Eurydice)

A ficlet about Eurydice, Sanson's Ancient self, and Orpheus, Guydelot's Ancient self.

He is here again, with his sweet melody that filled the night air like a thousand nightingales. It is obvious that he is here for me, though I do not know why he would, when he can have his fill of adoring audience with far more enthusiasm elsewhere. Yet for nigh a moon he had greeted me as I leave for home, leaning his tall frame against the stone wall outside the building. His is a striking form under the moonlight; a shining jewel to my tarnished brass.

"Good evening, Eurydice," he says, as per usual.

"Good evening, Orpheus," I reply back, like all of those other days. He smiles back, and nothing else is said; from here on the only sound left will be my footsteps, and a song that follows them until I round over yonder corner. So I walk down the stairs and along the pavement as is routine, but I fail to shake the feeling that something is different tonight.

I look up at the moon, seeking answers. Is it his looks? No, Orpheus has always looked the same; confident and bright, as is his right as one of Altima's protégé. Is it his smile? No, it is always gentle and sincere; a smile just for me, he'd said once, and I could not find the lie in those words.

I crane my ears back towards him when it hits me: Orpheus's melody has a different lilt, imperceptible perhaps to those who have not listened to it near nightly, but it is there—half a note deeper and half a breath slower, as if it is waiting for something to happen, something to rouse it back to its usual tempo.

The book against my chest feels inadequate to contain the sudden swell of heat that blooms within. It's an absurd proposition, that someone like Orpheus could be waiting for someone like me; Eurydice; a plain-faced clerk with far too serious a furrow between my brows and minuscule talent for nothing else except recording history.

And yet...

I stop at the far end of the path, where the pavement's patterns meld to a different design. He is still leaning against the pillar; playing, waiting. The wind takes that exact moment to change, and with it, so do I.

"Your melody is different tonight, perchance you can explain its intricacies as I walk home?" I ask, before blushing several shades deep. By the Star, that sounded far too bold—

Orpheus's melody suddenly shifts, this time rising up to a trill, akin to a flight of birds looping through the air. He near jogs to catch up, not breaking even a single note, then stops next to me.

"I've one better. Let me play you a new composition, and you may tell me your opinion of it."

"You know I'm no good critique. I know little and less about techniques," I confess. Instead of chastisement, Orpheus just grins.

"Pah, I've no shortage of people raring to tell me that I ought to use a different scale for more sophistication or some such; no, I'd like you to describe to me what you feel when you hear it, just as you have always done."

I colour even more. It is such a simple ask, and I've always opined on his songs—often unprompted—when he barges into my resting spot at lunch; yet tonight it feels like my answer will forever change the course of... of...

Orpheus waits, still with that handsome grin on his face. His beautiful turquoise eyes shine from behind the mask, and I am drawn ever closer as if pulled by an invisible string. The heat returns to my chest and before I can make a fool of myself, I nod.

His grin bursts into stars. "Come then, let us begin," he says as he lifts his harp and starts walking, in sync with his new melody.

I fall into step with him and listen to this new song, to Orpheus's voice, to the plucking of strings against his fingertips and I let myself feel. The melody tugs at the corner of my lips and before I realise it, I am grinning wide, heart light and aflutter.

I look up at the sky again and send up a wish—to the Star and the Moon, may this feeling never, ever fade.

Continued in Invitation.

Guydelot and Sanson, the bard and the lancer.

[shararan]

Sanson is good on the eyes, no question about it. What is surprising however is the fact that the only people catching Guydelot’s eye these days are all midlanders bearing varying degrees of resemblance to Sanson.

Babys first Guydesan... (very short, but a little something even while I'm on a slight writing break)

FFXIV Write 2022

I've been having a great time with the prompts this month! So far (knock on wood) haven't missed a day. Although there's some haikus and a limerick in there.

If you'd like to check it out, here's the link to ao3. Still need to update the table of contents and the tags up top, but there's CW and notes at the top of each chapter. There are some Mature and Explicit chapters, and they are marked with a rating in the top notes.

I was all over the place with different ships, time periods, and AUs. Here's some relevant gposes in no particular order. :)
