#the gladnis feels

[lunarlegend]

oh my gosh

so i'm down a FFXV doujinshi rabbit hole now, and i found the gen comic i bought recently that i love so much listed on another site, and was able to search for others by the same artist

and they're like aaaaallll Gladnis 😆🥰

[tenebriism]

if u want iggy can also smash or pass noct even tho we're not writing that as a ship rn (doesn't need to be in the same timeline obviously)

Smash or Pass - [ ACCEPTING ] ;;

No. No. NO. That is his SUPERIOR, that is the PRINCE, the heir APPARENT, the FUTURE KING, and as his ADVISOR, this is the most INAPPROPRIATE and INTRUSIVE question he could EVER be asked ! How absolutely mortifying ! How INCONSIDERATE ! What BENEFIT comes of receiving Ignis' answer !? Do you seek to SHAME him !? To make him feel even WORSE about his feelings !? He knows they have no place in this arrangement -- it does not matter how much the heart may yearn, for it is second, third, fourth, and BEYOND to duty.

" . . . I am so sorry, your highness . . . " Wherever Noctis may be, astrals above, Ignis is so sorry . . . and to King Regis, as well, because gods, does this go against everything the Scientias stand for, and everything Ignis has been taught.

" The . . . former. " No, Ignis, it must be verbally uttered. Those are the rules of the game, and you are, probably, Insomnia's best Rule Follower, right ? " . . . ahem. Ah . . . yes, well . . . sma . . . gods, how unbecoming of me. Smash. There. Speak of this NO further. "

Do not ask for further details. Do not pursue him. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. He is taking his first ' Sick Day ' in 5 years. Apartment is locked, lights off.

Do NOT Disturb.

This is a book I've wanted to do ever since I started binding - it's a short FFXV series called Long Way Home by @ninemoons42-lestallumhaven. This gorgeous little gladnis romance is situated in a war vet and bookshop modern AU. I tried to take the feel of the book and the imagery within and put that into the case, hence the tradtional-looking brown crosshatch bookcloth (it's Duo, iykyk) and a dainty little floral design in gold foil. Thank you to ninemoons for allowing me to bind her work! <3

hello everyone!! i'm moving into a real bedroom soon (after staying in my dad's living room for 3 years) and i'm very excited about it!!!! as such, i've been slowly going through my belongings to figure out what i want to take out of storage at my mom's place and bring over to my dad's, or what i'm going to throw away. which means i've got some merch i'm looking to sell if anyone is interested!!! reblogs and shares are very appreciated!!

i have proofs from selling on twitter, tumblr, ebay, and mercari if you're worried about buying from me so feel free to ask and i can send them to you!!!

first up: some bts merch from their anniversary event in 2021. includes jimin acrylic standee, keychain, and two photocards, all with original packaging! will also include some extras~ asking for $40 with free shipping in the usa.

next: persona 5 merch!!! several charms and pins of yusuke and akiren (the shukita pairing). all are in like new condition except one which has a defect on the back. since it was in storage at my mom's house, i have no idea how it happened but i've included a picture for reference. asking for $40 with free shipping in the usa. sold!!

next: ffxv merch!! includes two gladnis prints and one gladnis polaroid, gladnis charm and pins, enamel pins of iggy's daggers, and four pins featuring four beloved girls. asking for $25 with free shipping in the usa. sold!!

and last: ffxiv merch!! includes thancred body pillow cover as well as three pins and three charms. the daki has been in storage for several years and has some yellowing which i tried to show in the pictures but he's definitely still functional for any interested thancred fan. asking for $30 with free shipping in the usa.

i'm less likely to want to separate things unless you're willing to pay for shipping so only ask if you don't mind paying more for individual items. if you have any questions, feel free to message me here or on twitter @eepymob!! i'll also probably have more once it gets closer to moving date and i can thoroughly go through everything so i'll post again once i have more stuff for sale.

KISS KISS NOW YOU'RE GAY! 1/5

His cheeks feel hot as his heart pounds loudly in his chest. He can almost hear Gladio's heartbeat as well, feel the pulse on his neck as he slips a hand across it to loop behind. He feels the goosebumps, anticipation, as a shiver runs down his spine. Every sensation was dialed to eleven since he'd lost his eyes.

Adrenaline pulsed inside him, as dopamine rushed to his brain. He leaned into the unexpected kiss, years of weight falling off him as he eagerly embraced what he'd denied himself for so long. He kisses back with equal frantic intensity. A kiss of pent up feelings and desperation. A forbidden desire that had haunted him since their formative years.

He'd always loved Gladio. And Gladio, in kind, had loved him. It had been unspoken for decades, shown in soft gestures at mealtime and the occasional assist in combat. It was in the wail of his name off Gladio's lips after he'd confronted the Adagium.

The caress of hands on his form, checking him for signs of life, praying he was alright. The intensity of his passion. Fear unmasking any pretense.

He might've not been awake at the time, but his body felt everything. It came rushing back with blinding intensity now and he found himself caught in that moment-- trying to imagine how Gladio looked now with that rugged beard of his.

They parted for air and he caught himself gripping the taller's shoulders, breathlessly confessing the truth he'd tried to hide from. It came out, unbidden but wrapped in the intensity of the moment they'd just shared.

"I love you."

geniunely killing myself if i ever go back to twitter ... the pelople there are so nice (well some of them) but the fuckin enviornment fuckin sucks and its all built on drama. yes theres shit that happens on tumblr & instagram but in the classic rock fandom there's like very rare drama from what ive seen or at least it isnt public/its chill. on twitter there is literally drama every fucking day and it gives me so much anxiety and i hate it and i hate people fighting and acting like its the endof the world over the stupidest shit and acting superior and shit a lot of my mutuals were nice but some of them fuckin subtweeted me like actually fuck you & the fuckin priv quote tweets ugh that was the worst and i saw people literally pqt each other it was so rudeand brutual and mean like??? esp over nothing or like a very small thing ugh uit was terrible that site is built on literal hell & i always felt terrible every time i went there like it was actually so so bad ... like i would doomscroll for an hour , feel like shit repeat... idk talking to people on there was so weird even if they were nice it just made me feel sm anxiety like they all hated me & i literally never feel like that here, or on instagram ... so gladni left that place but i regret sm i wish i was never on there, i made a lot of mutuals who were super cool & im glad ive kept in touch w some of them but its just annoying to think about how worried i was on there like avtually

[lunarlegend]

okay i have one more thing to say about that bad doujinshi and then i promise i'll shut up

it works calling Ignis Noct's 'mom' and doesn't work calling Ignis Gladio's 'wife', because Ignis' relationship with Noctis is completely familial and platonic

Ignis does motherly things for Noct, but he is still a man, and he acts, dresses, and carries himself as a man

one of the things i love most about Ignis as a character is the way he destroys gender norms by being a guy in a suit who appears to be very intimidating, but he also cooks and sews

and he is never disrespected or thought of as less because of any of that...he is valued for being who he is and doing what he does

Ignis is a shining example of how it's okay to be a gentle and soft man who is naturally good at taking care of people, and it doesn't make him any less of a man.

the problem with calling Ignis Gladio's 'wife' though, is that it's just plain homophobic

a gay relationship is between men, it consists of two men who are attracted to each other

it doesn't mean one of them is 'the woman', and there is no role for a woman...they are men.

imagining one of them as a woman is just a gross excuse to mentally turn a homosexual relationship into a heterosexual one. it's insulting on so many different levels, not only to the characters, but to actual real people who deal with these bullshit stereotypes every single day.

and with Gladnis in particular, there is so much about their canon dynamic, as men, that is deep and beautiful and profound...their relationship is perfect just the way it is. i don't understand how or why anyone would feel the need to change that, just for the sake of drawing smut.

but i think the real reason i'm so bothered by this is the alarm bells it set off in my head, seeing both Ignis and Gladio acting in a way that didn't make sense, and understanding immediately the gross, real-life implications of what was being portrayed. that whole comic was just riddled with homophobia, but the author laughed it off at the end. and i know there are lots of others like that, and it's honestly making me afraid to read more.

anyway. i did promise to shut up, but i might not. we'll see. i'm done for now, at least.

[aberooski]

Because I've been enabled once again, I've returned to my bullshit.

Once again, thank you to my favorite enabler/mutual @chazz-is-a-zelda-fan 💜

Today I present, a full and comprehensive tier list of every fanfic I've written and posted as well as a sneak at some WIP's and such 👀

Whether you've read everything or just a few of these, I'm curious to hear your thoughts and whether you agree or disagree with any of my placements of these works 🤔

Now that we've seen said list, allow me to briefly voice some thoughts on my placements 😌

Firstly, I've gone on record several times saying that I firmly believe that Favorite and Best are not mutually exclusive things. Just because something may be the "best" doesn't mean it has to be your favorite, and conversely, just because something may be your favorite thing doesn't necessarily mean you think it's the best of that thing either. But in this instance it just so happens my favorite fic, OUAD, is also the one I think is the best aksks.

OUAD is just brilliant. The combination of 4 of my favorite things: my favorite movie, my favorite Disney couple and just individually favorite prince and princess, my favorite show, and my favorite ship. A loose yet still fairly faithful adaptation of the film that brings me so much joy while also tearing my soul into shreds. And the casting? Phenomenal on my part. When I clear some stuff from my plate, I swear I'll be working on a sequel 😤

Salt In The Wound also got to sneak up into Best because in my opinion it's my best one shot. And also I just legitimately like the actual writing in it, I think it's some of my best work. Also I just needed it. I emotionally need that aftermath to Zane and Syrus's duel, I needed the comfort of them caring for Sy and catharsis from airing frustrations with Zane and the show didn't give it to me, so it's kinda a fulfillment that's on a totally different level than anything else I've done before.

Now Sons of The Stars. The fully crafted from the ground up, fully designed wardrobe, 130k fantasyish au that all stemmed from a throwaway joke in Angel's Tears. I love this one, especially the new updated version, I fixed so many things and just improved it so much from how it was originally. But I have some beef with it that keeps it from Best but still at the very top. The execution of Jaden and Jesse's romance isn't my favorite and I wrote it under a time crunch originally so you could tell towards the end I was rushing. That's been fixed a bit now but I still have a lingering disappointment with the idea that if I waited to write it originally I could've just done a better job overall with it. But as it stands I still think that fic is fantastic and it's my pride and joy.

Deviating from GX quick, my FFXV fic. What Goes In, this is just a good ass fic imo. Taking a segment from the game and answering for myself questions both the main game and Prompto's dlc raised and didn't answer, incorporating a lot of twists and turns and my own spin on what happens in that segment of the game, while incorporating actual game dialog and moments and shit too GAH it's good 😭 Also indulging in Promptis and Gladnis on the DL In the middle of all the pain and angst 🤭 biggest problem is that I haven't posted in it since March of 2020 and there's only 1 chapter left 😭 I promise I'm working on revising it right now and I'm finishing it by the end of 2023 that's my goal!

Might be controversial placement, but I put Sustained By Hate in the "Good" category......

Listen I love it. Camula coming back for revenge is an S+ idea. My problems lie with some of the execution, also me not really having the characterization of my version of Chazz's mom on lock yet. There's a lot of revisions I wanna do to that fic bro. Nothing too drastic or anything but still. There's also just so much happening in that one it feels a little messy to me now going back and re reading it. But Lexi usurping the main character role towards the end is brilliant and I actually wrote a duel which was hard as shit and I'm so proud of it and myself so extra bonus points for that! Overall, I love that fic but still as it stands I only think it's good. Perhaps a revised version would get bumped up on my list 🤔

Traffic Lights, my 5Ds one shot that's just Carly sitting in her car trapped in traffic 😂 not a lot to gripe about or say here, it's just a cute little work. I like it, I think it's good, but I feel like most of what I've written is better, it's that simple. I still really like it a lot though!

Angel's Tears, the first GX fic I ever wrote....... listen I thought this was my magnum opus for the LONGEST time..... if you've read the original version, that's embarrassing for me to say. Now the revised version I did recently? That's less embarrassing. But still this fic's only alright in my opinion. It was good at the time, I was 18 when I first wrote it and like I said, it was the 1st GX fic I ever wrote. But I've just improved so much as a writer, the newer version supports that better now akaksk and well, it's just not my best work in my opinion. I also don't really like the title anymore but it's been too long I can't change it now. But this fic was what got me started with writing these kids so I owe it a debt of gratitude for that. We wouldn't have all the rest of these works without it.

A Friend In Need, my Bastion one shot. Like the Carly one, not much to say about it. I like it, but it's just old and I need to revise it. It's cute and appropriately upsetting and a good idea to address Bastion's feelings of invisibility and inadequacy in season 2, the execution just needs to be given a face lift in my opinion.

Before I sneak at my WIPS, I'm gonna jump down to Rewriting.

Alice was an old fic I did that was basically an episode rewrite for episode 80, you know. The filler episode after they get back from Domino. With Alice... hence the title.... well if you read that story before I deleted it to rewrite it well you're entitled to compensation of some sort. It wasn’t good if you ask me. And rereading it there were a couple moments in it that made even me uncomfortable now that didn't back then. Literally I lost the plot while I was writing it like I jumped off the deep end a few chapters in and it dips so hard in quality. I'm just redoing it from like chapter 2 or 3 on, It has to be done.

Anyway now a quick roll call of my current WIPS for you babies because I like you and they're all S+ concepts 😌

We ALL know about Chazerella. My stormshipping Cinderella au riding the coattails of OUAD. I'll be starting writing that once we cross into the new year 👍

My Stormshipping + Alexis crossover with Mario.... yeah that started as a joke but isn't a joke anymore. I've posted about that so much you all know akakaka Chazz hanging out in Bowser's dungeon with Peach while Atticus and Alexis traverse the Mushroom Kingdom with Mario and Luigi to go rescue them??? Yes please!!

The GX/Fatal Frame 5: Maiden of Black Water crossover, I said that would be the next one after OUAD but well it's just gonna happen whenever it happens, that one is purely for me. I have actually started writing it and once I get a little further I think I'll be posting that one as I write it 😌 it'll take as long as it takes and y'all will have to deal with the suspense and cliffhangers while Alexis teams up with Yuri and the camera crew to find Atticus and rescue him from ghosts aksks (also I'm actually using the Japanese names for once in this one be proud of me!!)

And finally, So Take Hold of Me, And Hang On 'Till The Hurt Is Gone. You guys remember that one little snippet excerpt whatever you wanna call it with Chazz and Atty I posted I believe in like November or something? Yeah, this is that 🤭 I haven't touched it really since then but I'll make a full thing out of it mark my words! (Also the title comes from one of my favorite Yellowcard songs, "The Hurt Is Gone", that was actually the initial inspiration for that work 😊 that song, and the word "stay")

Anyways y'all, that's my tier list of my fanfiction! This was actually really fun but also really hard to make I'm so indecisive I went back and forth on a lot of these for so long akakksksksksks

But anyways hope y'all had some mindless fun with me, and I'm curious to hear any thoughts if y'all have any thoughts to share!

Keep your chins up and smile! 💜

20 Questions For Fic Writers

@ofdemonsandangels tagged me! I don't get on this site much anymore so idk if this has gone around at all but if you're a writer who's reading this and you have time to burn, pls feel free to answer these questions for yourself!

also i didn't bother linking any stories so just uh here's the link to my portfolio

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

232 but I need to note that at least 31 of those are drabbles (that I couldn't put into one multi-chapter bc of the varied ships)

2. What's your total AO3 wordcount?

2,002,567 (what the fuck) but I also need to note that several of these are stories in at least two languages and that some of these are not written with the Latin alphabet system so the word count would be different in those

3. What fandoms do you write for?

g witch is my homebase rn! but I'd love to be able to write at least one ffxv fic again next year which is the biggest collection of fics in my ao3 rn. briefly I was also active in sk8 and even more briefly in hadesgame (but that's not counting the pre-pandemic years)

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

HUH my ffxv fics have been completely nudged out of place! :ooo this is a surprise but hygge remains unbeatable since I published it uhhhhh 2017? it's a 30-day fic challenge where the brodinsons settle into earth following the events of ragnarok so that's why it's so popular I guess. the next fics are (from most to least) お持て成し omotenashi, weather report (the only hadesgame fic, the others are sk8), 浮世 ukiyo and save the date.

5. Do you respond to comments?

absolutely! they took the time to let me know their thoughts, I need to honor their generosity. THO I did delete some anon hate once bc my friends told me it's not worth it to engage and my friends are much smarter than me so

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

HUH man idk. like I define angst so differently than others (most people: liv why is this so angsty??? me: it's not???) but off the top of my head, the meeting on the turret stairs? mostly bc it's unresolved forbidden love gladnis and I really upped the ante there…i don't remember if it's to match the tone of the original artwork or if it was a client decision

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

there's a lot!!!! I'm not just all bittersweet stuff, I can tell other stories, I swear, but most of them are probably gladnis stuff but uh…if you filter my portfolio to just the fluff category, it's probably all of those there

8. Do you get hate on your fics?

HAHA oh man. so that anon hate, right? it was that time I posted my first guesulemio fic (forget me nots is the title) and I woke up to like 5-7 anon comments who got upset that I tagged it as sulemio (never mind that I also tagged it as polyamory but ehh there's a certain type of ao3 readers, right? we all know this) and like, 1 other anon baby later on in the day when I refused to remove the sulemio tag bc it was a fic where guel, suletta and miorine weren't a closed triad yet. to be fair, that was a fairly educational experience! I read up on some reddit stuff about tagging ot3 fics and while some people don't mind if the all-encompassing ot3 tag was used indiscriminately, other people, especially in the cases of open triads or where one corner of the triangle is missing, would love to know what subship of the ot3 they're going to expect going in. anyway that was the first and only fic I locked away from public bc lord do the anon babies have a lot of time in their hands (not a lot of reading capacity tho)

surprisingly the one before this—not hate, just disappointment—was a fic where gladio married that rando woman (we're talking about ffxv now) he mentioned in the hammerhead camp prior to the insomnia chapter. that's the woman that only exists in the English localization. the ending was that they got married in spite of gladio and ignis' committed relationship so there's basically three of them now. and people apparently hated that even tho one of the points I wanted to make with that fic was how gladio and ignis would always be together no matter what happens 🤷🏻‍♀️

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

what do you mean what kind isn't smut is smut is smut???? I mean yes I do write smut but damn if I know what kind of smut???? it's just smut?????

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

YES I love crossovers!!! of the ones posted on ao3, I think it might be joche in ffxv? mostly bc I couldn't fuse a lot of the lores together (kaoru was a lucian locked out of insomnia when Regis put up the wall, Kojiro was an altissian, that's it) but I do have one fic that I deleted from ao3 which is basically suikoden characters and events in the lore of pacific rim. and it's not on ao3 rn bc you could really tell I was just pulling shit out of my ass, it was all so bad and jarring 😂😂😂

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

MAN idk like i highly doubt it but I also don't take the time to find out you know?

12. Have you ever had a fic translated

ooh yes, two yeses in fact! mog (and ulan??) have translated some of my filipino fics to english but there was also a stranger who asked if they could translate one of my hadesgame!patrochilles ficlets (patience) into russian! that was very thrilling. and then just recently, I joined a guesule advent calendar project in Japan and the friend who invited me told me to give them a machine translation of my ficlet and they would go over it and clean it up to make it more readable to the jp audience. that ficlet isn't up on ao3 yet (it's on pixiv) but man I gotta remember to ask the project organizer if they would mind if I uploaded it there

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

YEAHHHH we never finished it tho!! it was a friend I made on some final fantasy rpg yahoo group and it was going to be a retelling of ff7 or smth? I don't remember much else, this was during ff.net's heydays.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

clerith. which i have barely written for (I mean i used to write them a lot back when I was still some 13yo anti-cloti lmao) but if we're talking about like based on recent fic counts and productivity and stuff, gladnis.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

oh man, I got this zares reincarnation au going that I got distracted from with ghost of tsushima and then now g witch (it's the "I'll get back to this after xyz" kinda thing) and I'd LOVE to finish it! I know I will, I have a 99% wip-finishing rate, but I'll need to replay hadesgame to get some voices and inspo back, you know?

16. What are your writing strengths?

I have the brain of a project manager, hence the 99% wip-finishing rate.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I can hardly write or even translate if i hear sounds! whether it's the TV or the radio or if it's someone talking to me, I can't do it bc I can't hear my own words

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

IF IT MAKES SENSE ABSOLUTELY I was soooo happy when I got guel and lauda to speak in my hokkien bc they're Chinese in the Manila au I have but also like, since the pov is guel (or miorine, who's also Chinese in that au), it makes sense to me for him to hear and understand the dialogue in the language. but if it's say like suletta who's filipino through and through? I would just write it like "meanwhile, Guel and Miorine are speaking in Chinese and, though Suletta doesn't understand a word, she can tell from the tension on their jaws that no one is happy". and also like, yes, especially for us multilinguals, I say we should flex our knowledge, but these dialogues need to get translated in the common language, too. if it's just purely flexing without understanding, then it makes no sense to even use a different language in the first place

19. First fandom you wrote for?

it was rpf 💪🏽

20. Favorite fic you've written?

lol pls I have the memory of a goldfish when it comes to my fics. as soon as it's done (and optionally up on ao3), I forget about it as I'm writing a new story. but like…I don't finish or share a story that I made that I don't like. every one of those that I declared finished is bc I was satisfied with them and wouldn't change a thing about them

[sophiahoppia]

✨Only Words can express how I feel about you✨

Gladio has finished re-reading one of his favorite books and is craving more. To his surprise, there is one single fanfiction about two side characters of said book. He gets engrossed in the story, only realizing after quite a while how the relationship of this martial arts teacher and librarian resembles his relationship with Ignis — or not-relationship because Ignis isn't interested in him or anyone.

It takes him even longer to realize that the events happening in the story might be inspired by his real life. It's as if someone who knew him was writing the story.

Read how Gladio and Ignis slowly realize their feelings for each other. Yet even once they do, it gets painfully aware that starting a relationship with someone so different from yourself isn't easy.

5. Least favourite thing about roleplaying?

The expectancy to always be able to whip out writing at the drop of a hat and have a consistent writing schedule else you fall into obscurity. Catty cliques of people, the traps people can fall into pushing a character one way or another far enough that they don’t feel like the original source anymore. I’m old. I’m crusty. I have a low tolerance for a lot of things.

6. OTP for your muse?

Gladnis. Gladio and @tenebriism​ ‘s Charlotte Scientia. Basically. Gladio and the Scientias. But in all seriousness, Charlotte was the surprise instant ship that I love so endlessly to this day, there aren’t enough good things I can say about these two characters and it’s a shame that they aren’t known like Gladnis because it’s just something for us and the dash.

7. NOTP for your muse?

Gladnoct, Gladio/Cor, Gladio and any of the older carded characters, really. But, I have seen Gladio/Cor and it gives me a very strong Ick.

time to unwind - a gladnis one shot

Title: Time to Unwind Fandom: FFXV Pairing: Gladnis (Ignis Scientia x Gladio Amicitia) Rating: Explicit (NSFW - Blow Jobs - Explicit Sexual Content) Word Count: ~ 2160 

Summary: Ignis fears he’s forgotten how to be intimate with his lover, but Gladio assures him that that isn’t possible. 

A/N: Happy birthday to Ignis! :) This is what I came up with to celebrate his birthday. Please enjoy! 

---

Insomnia was shutting down for the day. Which would sound absurd to any person who didn’t live in the capital city, as the name would suggest that the city never slept. But when you worked at the Citadel, and were on the staff of the crowned Prince of Lucis, life would suggest otherwise. Ignis shut down the work he was doing on his computer, and heard a firm knock on his door. His heart jumped into his throat, as he knew who it was, and there was a very small part of him that was feeling rather nervous right now. And hearing that knock brought his nerves back, which had been quiet for most of the day. 

“Come in.” He spoke towards the door, knowing that the person that was standing there could hear him. “I’ll be a few more moments.” His eyes returned to his monitor, making sure that the computer was shutting down properly. 

A very large body stood at his door, with their arms crossed over their chest. “Take your time, sweetheart. I’m in no rush.” 

“How did training go today?” He asked, looking over at the man who was both his best friend, and his lover - Gladio Amicitia. Gladio was tasked with training both the Prince and his best friend, Prompto, to fight combatively. Ignis was to train them in a few weeks’ time, but for now, they were under Gladio’s care. “Was the Prince any better?” 

Gladio shook his head, pushing himself off the door jamb as Ignis put his things into his bag. “No, he’s refusing to listen to what I tell him. Prompto is doing good, though. Kid is eager. He likes to please.” 

“That must go over very well for you.” A smirk began to curl on his lips, as Ignis took a moment to look over at Gladio. He saw that he had a towel draped around his neck, still dressed in the clothes he’d been training in. “You must really want to go home.” 

“Figured I was going to need to shower anyway.” Gladio didn’t say anything more, and Ignis really didn’t need to hear any more. 

They’d been having difficulty syncing up together for a proper romantic night. Ignis was usually too tired to think about those sorts of things as of late, as Regis was asking him to sit in on more council meetings as a manner of preparing him for assisting his son. He was at the end of his rope, and all he really wanted to do was have some intimate time with Gladio. Which was why he was nervous, because he felt like it had been forever since either of them had done something together like that, and he wasn’t sure if he remembered how. 

“Ready?” Gladio asked, as Ignis approached him. He held out his hand, and Ignis surrendered his bag to him, as Gladio liked to carry his items for him. “My car is down in the garage.” 

“Good. Because I don’t feel like taking public transportation today.” That would be more time wasted, and right now he had one thought on his mind. One thought that had been nagging at his brain for most of the day, making it almost impossible to concentrate on anything. But tonight, things would align and it would take away the edge he knew he’d been feeling because of it. 

“Don’t worry, sweetheart - I’ve got everything covered.” Gladio kept his distance, as the two of them had decided it would be better to keep their relations on a need to know basis for anyone that worked at the Citadel. They stood in the elevator together, and being in Gladio’s presence was already making Ignis feel more relaxed. “Let’s get you home.”

Traffic wasn’t awful as Gladio drove them back to his apartment. Ignis had offered his place, but it was much smaller than Gladio’s apartment, and he knew that Gladio hated imposing on him. So, back to his place it was. Upon entry, Ignis took off his shoes and then peeled his jacket off. 

“I’ll be right back.” Gladio kissed the back of his neck, causing him to moan softly at the unexpected intimate touch. “Go make yourself comfortable, Ignis. No arguments. We’ll eat afterwards.” 

He nodded his head, knowing that it would be best if they were to get things out of the way first. He heard the shower turn on, and could hear Gladio humming a tune as he got under the water. Ignis could feel his arousal beginning to start, as he loved listening to Gladio sing to himself. He went into Gladio’s bedroom, and began to take off all of his clothes. He sat on the edge of the bed, facing the door, so that when Gladio walked in, he would be the first thing that he saw. 

Gladio came into his bedroom, still slightly damp and without a towel on his body. Ignis felt his jowls work as his eyes naturally went to the beast between Gladio’s thighs, which was already nice and plump. He whimpered softly as Gladio came closer to him, his eyes staying glued to the flushed tip of Gladio’s cock. “Come here, sweetheart.” Gladio approached where he was sitting, and put his hand to the back of Ignis’ head. “Why don’t you give it a little kiss? I know you want to.” 

Ignis brought his mouth to the tip, and gave it a few little kisses before putting his lips around it. He moaned low as he slowly let it slip into his mouth, savoring the way the thick flesh felt pushing against his lips as Gladio’s cock made its way inside. He rolled his tongue out, letting the girthy flesh sit on it as he pushed against the bumps and ridges. Gladio moaned low, and Ignis felt the world slip away as he began to let himself get lost in the pleasure. 

Why he’d been so scared and nervous before, he wasn’t sure. Of course he was going to remember how to do things. Even though they hadn’t been intimate in almost three weeks, as soon as Gladio’s cock was in his mouth, Ignis knew what to do. He knew that Gladio enjoyed when he sucked gently on his cock, and then would push as much of Gladio’s thickness he could into his mouth. Ignis slipped off the bed and got on his knees, his nose now pushing against the dark curls at the base of Gladio’s cock, his mouth full of his meaty flesh. 

“That’s it, sweetheart.” Gladio’s praise made him moan low, as he felt the tip of his cock nudge against the back of his throat. “You can take it, can’t you?” He relaxed his throat and felt Gladio push it down further. He choked, gagging a little. Gladio began to pull his hips backwards, effectively taking his cock out of his mouth, but Ignis put his hands on Gladio’s hips, stopping him from doing it. He pushed his mouth back onto his cock, his gag reflex now relaxed as he was able to take the thick girth down his throat. “Yes, baby….That feels so good…” Gladio praised him again, his hand now touching his face, wiping away the tears that were falling from his eyes that Ignis had no recollection of them happening. 

He slurped on Gladio’s cock, moaning low as he felt him begin to rock his hips. Gladio set a pace that had him bobbing his head at a slow pace, and then increased the tempo to a pace that had him drooling uncontrollably. It spilled down his chin and down to Gladio’s ball sac, but his lover didn’t mind. Gladio liked a good, messy blowjob and Ignis was here to give it to him. He felt his cock slip back down into his throat, and he stayed there. 

“Gonna come now. You be sure and swallow everything, okay?” Ignis nodded his head, his mouth and throat working hard on Gladio’s cock. “Oh, Gods - yes, like that, Ignis. Just like that, baby. G-Gonna…” 

Gladio’s hips stuttered, and then Ignis began to feel warm cum start to shoot down his throat. He swallowed on reflex, and kept swallowing as he could feel Gladio’s cock throbbing against his tongue. He could feel cum spilling out of his mouth, but he didn’t care. He was too focused on finishing every single drop that Gladio was giving to him. As he felt him grow soft against his tongue, Ignis pulled his head back slowly and let Gladio’s cock slip out of his mouth. 

“Thank you for the meal.” He whispered, his throat a little raw from the way he’d been sucking on Gladio’s cock. A small string of spit was keeping them connected, and as he licked his lips, it broke, separating them. 

Two large hands grabbed him by the shoulders, and then he was pushed down onto the bed, stomach side down. He moaned low as he felt Gladio’s mouth touch his anus, his hands grabbing onto the bed as he spread his knees. The soft touch of his tongue against his puckering hole made Ignis holler as it was an intense feeling. Gladio’s tongue pushed into him, and then he felt his finger slip in. It was enough to make him beg him to stop, but the words came out as helpless moans instead. 

His hips were lifted up, and then Gladio’s tongue began to lick at his stiff cock. “Time to really let go, sweetheart.” Gladio gave his cock a few more licks, and then Ignis felt the tip of his thick cock push up against his ass. “I know you need it.” 

“I need it badly.” He moaned, nodding his head as he struggled to keep himself up. But then as soon as Gladio’s cock pushed into his body, the euphoria hit and he was taken away. 

Ignis’ inner walls stretched around the thick girth, and as Gladio’s cock pushed deeper inside of him, a deep feral moan left his own mouth. Gladio had grabbed a hold of his hands and was now keeping them behind his back, forcing him to be on his knees as he was fucked thoroughly by his lover. His cock bounced up and down, the force that Gladio used on him was pushing him flying towards the edge. But he held on, as he knew that if he were to come now, that it would be over too quickly. 

A large hand grabbed onto his cock, and all thoughts of keeping himself from coming were gone. “I want you to come, Ignis.” Gladio growled into his ear, his other hand keeping a firm grip on his wrists still behind his back. “I told you to let go.” 

A deep, sharp moan left his mouth as he began to come. The depth that Gladio’s cock was inside of him made the orgasm hit him hard. Gladio’s hand stroked him through until he was whimpering to stop, but Gladio didn’t relent. His cock became hard again, and then it was happening all over. His mind was slipping away, and all that he was feeling was the absolute pleasure that only could be brought to him through these carnal acts of desire. 

Gladio pounded hard into him, and pushed him into another full body orgasm that made him scream. Gladio groaned low, and then Ignis could feel warm heat spreading through him as Gladio came deep inside. He released a pleased moan, happy that his lover had come again. 

Dropping down onto the bed, the hands around his wrists disappeared, allowing him to flop ungracefully onto the bed, his arms now spread above his head. Gladio gave his ass a light tap before slipping out of him. He groaned low, not prepared for that loss, but then strong arms were around him, hugging him against Gladio’s muscular body. “I love you.” Gladio murmured into his ear. 

“I love you…too.” He managed to get it out after a few deep breaths, then released a breathless laugh as Gladio hugged him. “Please, more often.” 

“You got it.” Gladio turned his face towards him, and he moaned softly as Gladio’s lips connected with his own, the two of them sharing a deep kiss. “I won’t listen when you tell me you’re too tired.” 

“Please don’t.” Ignis agreed, relaxing in his arms. “Thank you, Gladiolus.” 

“Anything for you, sweetheart.” 

Once they recovered, Ignis got up and made the both of them some dinner. They ate naked on Gladio’s couch, putting on the news as background noise. After they finished, they went back to Gladio’s bedroom, where they engaged in a few more depraved acts that really made Ignis feel good. He fell asleep in Gladio’s arms, and in the morning, they went to the Citadel together. It helped having a lover that understood the complexity of their roles, and he knew that while it may be tough at times, Gladio was truly the only person for him.
