Augh...

I wanted to post things in order of how they happened from FFXIV but...

I also wanna participate in wolgraha week...which is happening this week.

[dweeborea]

Aw, big yawn!

[alicelufenia]

I could write pages and pages all about them, especially Alice/Zenos.

Luckily I already did!

Who is your WOL's love interest(s) <- Brief overview of Alice/Sidurgu, Alice/G'raha, and Alice/Zenos, the latter being canon-divergent AU that will likely become my main canon.

How does your WoL feel about Zenos? <- What happens in MSQ canon between Alice and Zenos

Do you have an AU/Canon for your OC? More than one? <- Describing the different canons, including the roleswap AU I wanna write someday.

it has been a hard day so I leave you all with yet another wol question...

do they have a love interest? I ADORE hearing about people's wol and/or oc ships so pleaaaase hit me with all the details <33

[lunie-junk]

This took me ages to set up and I want validation for it so I’m posting it here too :v

Give your little sis a hug! (She's only pretending to be annoyed)

[ferrocyan]

(arcadion spoiler) sorry im still thinking about

how tart is now the crystal exarch to eutropes wol like its looking at someone you can save by dying and the thing is however much you dont wanna die you can clearly see this person also wants to live and if you can grant them that hope of survival how can you not give it to them. she needs you.

FFXIV Write day 28 - Deleterious

WoLG'raha - Toxic edition Middle of Endwalker

Deleterious : harmful often in a subtle or unexpected way

———————

My inspiration.

That’s what he had been called, once, and then a few more times after. Sometimes he would stare at the source of those words from afar, look at him smile and be a bit shy, do his best to try to fit with what he considers some of the best people he could’ve found.

Heroes all of them.

And then those crimson eyes find him, and he can’t stand his devoted look, the amount of love and admiration he finds within that gaze.

So he grumbles and walks away.

————

It is never lost on him how G’raha yearns to accompany him everywhere, how he is always ready for anything as long as he goes along.

Sometimes he wonders what would it take for the other man to realize that he is not what he pictures, what he refuses to see, what he keeps painting over with his idealistic dreams and a hundred years of idealization — he never ends up acting on those impulses because he does not want to hurt him.

Far from it.

Which is more the reason why every single interaction with him kills him inside, slowly.

——————

They fight — a lot.

It all started because of a passing comment while he was recovering still, another scolding, a joking one and yet it had been the last straw.

Screaming came, and then unsaid grievances came, yelling and grabbing each other with the need to make the other understand and stop being so fucking stupid.

And there’s no hiding it, as much as he wants to run away from the truth, he knows the reality — as much as he hates how their relationship seems to advance, he knows he does nothing to stop it. Because he likes this.

It hurts.

Every word of devotion, the willingness to die for him, the readiness to claim he is a Hero. The pressure that he is the inspiration, the reason G’raha endured for a hundred years, and yet he cannot be, truly, what the other man wants and needs. He is not the Hero who died fighting, he is not the Hero who had songs and myths made for him in a distant cold and bleak future.

He is just himself.

And when he finds G’raha again, after yet another fight — he wants to yell at him, be angry, demand that he stop putting him on a pedestal he doesn’t want to be. To stop looking at him like he has answers to everything, like he can stop whatever the world, the fate, the entire Universe throws at them.

“…You’re a fucking idiot.” The Warrior of Light can’t stop himself and he makes G’raha wince and then frown, but before he can even complain, Brucie has already grabbed him by the clothes.

There’s a hug, so tight, using way too much strength to the point he worries he may hurt G’raha but…but… “You’re my idiot, though…so I guess this is just my lot now…”

The other miqo’te sighs, his eyes are closed and he hugs his inspiration back, “One day you could try to not attack me on sight…”

“…That is never going to happen, and you know that…I love you, but you’re infuriating, and annoying. And…” G’raha pushes Brucie away, softly. “What?”

“…You’re also an idiot.”

They both stare at each other, and then they laugh softly, because this is stupid. This is childish to a point — and unhealthy. They don’t talk about their actual issues, they don’t touch the root of the problem.

They just accept that they both use the other, as much as the other might want to deny or claim that…well, that was never the intention. But somehow they work. They fit. They’re not fine and it will be a long time before they’re fine — and maybe, that day…

They can truly love the other for who they are and not the shadow of what they yearn for.

your reflection, your bitter deception

Series: your boldness stands alone among the wreck (Part 3)

Series Authors: @sunderedazem and @azems-familiar

Rating: Teen

Fandom: Final Fantasy XIV

Category: M/M, Multi

Relationships: Emet-selch/G'raha Tia - Crystal Exarch, Past Azem/Emet-selch/Hythlodaeus/Original Character, hints of future WolG'raha/Emetwol, Warrior of Light & Warrior of Light

Major Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply

Summary:

The Warriors of Darkness and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn meet Emet-Selch for the first time. Emet-Selch and the Crystal Exarch come to an agreement.

Chapter Start:

Crystal Exarch - G'raha Tia The skies are yet dark at night, and those noble souls whom he had summoned across the rift yet do not appear any the worse for wear to his admittedly-amateurish gaze. That marks two Lightwardens now slain by their hands, and countless lesser sin eaters besides. And they hold strong, as he had prayed they would. Lelesu and Corrain both- they hold strong. As he hoped - hopes, will hope - that they would, until the end of such a messy, convoluted plan.  By Thaliak, he hopes they will hold strong, until the end. Until the last Lightwarden falls, until the First knows hope wholly, uncounted amongst the stars. He knows he has summoned them here to bleed for him and his people and their people, all over again, as if they had not given enough of themselves already. As if he does not ask they risk their very being, their souls, for a cause they have little enough choice but to pursue. The Lightwardens they would spawn would be monstrous creatures- and likely spell the doom of the star just as surely as Emet-selch's current plot would. Perhaps an even more inevitable doom than the slow suffocation of the world in purest apathy. In hindsight, he muses absently, staring at a sharp gaze of pale gold, this is why the man himself has deigned to visit. In all his typical theatrical glory and sardonic flair, sharp on every edge. It is the same exact mask he'd worn upon first breaking into one of Syrcus Tower's many control rooms, when G'raha had found him unsuccessfully fiddling with uncooperative controls and cursing about it.

Might as well throw these up here, too

From a prompt on Bluesky, "Post a piece of writing you're proud of!"

This is from the WIP that may eventually become the sequel to my first fic, Valley of Shadow (if I ever finish it). Though the main set of fics is WoLG'raha, it's revealed here that during the events of Stormblood, K'yalwanni had a brief but ill-fated relationship with Lord Hien. This relationship has resulted in a pregnancy, and now K'yalwanni is dealing with discovering this while already on the First during Shadowbringers. In this scene, she has just finished meeting with a midwife, and the reality of her situation is just starting to truly sink in. The tin of tea mentioned briefly near the start was offered by the midwife as a way for her to end the pregnancy if she so chose.

WoLG'raha Week Day 6: (Vampire) AU

[Minor spice under the cut, non-explicit]

[linelpisffxiv]

I can't find it, but seriously. WoLG'raha is somehow both "Too good for anyone else" and "Quarantine the obsession" at the same time.

Is it really WoLG'raha if there isn't a bit of fucked up love between them? That it's only pure joy? There's no "I will sacrifice myself for you" coming from both sides while also going "You need to be cared for!"

This is why I don't begrudge people who hate G'raha (I get a bit "Lisen here you little shit" if they differentiate the Exarch from G'raha but it still stands) Because he is a little obsessed. He is a bit of a fanboy. And honestly, my WoL is the same with him. She still sometimes struggles with the fact he thought of her as worthy despite everything she did between CT and 4.4, that her death was what needed to be undone and not something else. (Teri has a bit of that as well platonically, but Teri also doesn't get as ripped up as Lin does)

[halmarutffxiv]

WolG'raha Week Day 1: First Kiss Waking in Sharlayan after the events of Ultima Thule after having literally died and being brought back by their Voidsent and other means, Iolanthe is greeted with a sudden kiss by G'raha. The miqo'te had developed feelings over the course of Endwalker, after Iolanthe became the Warrior of Light following their Father's death in Shadowbringers due to the Light being too much for him. When G'raha lost them in Ultima Thule and found they'd yet live, he didn't want to lose his chance to tell them how he felt.

[sironawildrose]

"And when the prince took the knight's hand into his, their fingers lace, he looks into her crystal blue eyes and his lips almost trembled when he whisper his vows to his loyal knight." G'raha reads before looking over his should to the warrior of light, who was sleeping soundly. A small smile form upon his lips. We all have our bad days, the miqo'te thought to himself. He then gently wrapped his tail around her hand. Hoping she was dreaming good dreams tonight.

WolG'raha/G'rahaxSirona/RoseGarden Headcanon - When Sirona has a bad day or is under the weather, G'raha stays by her bed side and keeps her company. Sometimes he either sings or reads a book to her. To Sirona, G'raha's voice is both calming and makes her feels safe. It's one of the most favorite sounds in the star to her.

[ishgard]

g'raha tia and/or krile for the character asks? alternately, your WoL?

Oooh fun!! thank you so much!

G'raha Tia:

Sexuality Headcanon: Bisexual

Gender Headcanon: Male (but tbh I could see him being fluid about it)

A ship I have with said character: I love all of the WoLG'raha ships, it's so good, so delicious. Recently I've been a little 👀 about Thancred x G'raha also, that's got me Intrigued.

A BROTP I have with said character: I really love seeing bits and pieces of his friendships with each of the Scions tbh, esp now that he's free of the Exarch's yolk. Him and Urianger or Y'shtola nerding out, or gosh his relationship with Alisaie feeling more like siblings is so much fun and delightful. (I also really wanna see him interact with Thancred more just in general oops.)

A NOTP I have with said character: I don't think one exists 🤔 If anything I'd probably just be more ambivalent towards such a thing.

A random headcanon: It's nothing flashy or unique but (and apologies) I subject him to my usual miqo'te HCs of purring, biting, both keepers and seekers having fangs and eyes that adjust to light/dark, and yeah, the less sfw things (not pokey penis, that's where I draw the line).

General Opinion over said character: I love him so much??? I can understand why some people have their grievances with him, especially in regards to how he might 'come on strong' sometimes, but I never really got why people hold long-lasting grudges against him for the whole lying thing. (Though that's probably largely because Ahru isn't bothered by people lying to her if the ends justify the means.)

Krile Baldesion:

Sexuality Headcanon: Bisexual (female-leaning)

Gender Headcanon: Female

A ship I have with said character: Is it too obvious to say Tataru? I wanna say she had hearteyes for Minfilia, too. (Thinking about it though, a crackship with Estinien is forming in my head, oh no.)

A BROTP I have with said character: Even if not from a shippy point, Tataru for sure. Also I didn't mention this on his, but G'raha.

A NOTP I have with said character: I do NOT ship her with being forgotten and abandoned by the narrative.

A random headcanon: Listen, definitely had a crush on G'raha at some point, (and yeah Minfilia). I'm not sure if teaching Alphinaud how to paint is a headcanon or was actual canon now that I think about it (am I imagining there was something said about him asking her for advice?)

General Opinion over said character: Less of an opinion but I really can't wait to see more of her in Dawntrail, hopefully she gets a chance to really flourish. I enjoy her a lot but I feel like she's been sidelined so much (and I barely did anything with Eureka admittedly) so I just don't always feel like I know her as well as I wish I did. (Maybe I just need to replay MSQ tho.)

Ahru Hiraeth :D

Sexuality Headcanon: Bisexual

Gender Headcanon: Female, has a sort of loose concept of gender in her head though in regards to herself

A ship I have with said character: ...there are a few, but the big one at the moment is Deryk x Ahru, they've got me in a chokehold.

A BROTP I have with said character: Estinien! The minute he called her "aibou" I was sold. She's also always in close cahoots with Thancred no matter what.

A NOTP I have with said character: This is going to seem so out of nowhere but as a lover of enemies-to-lovers I have TRIED to imagine it just for shits and giggles but no, no, she hates him so so much.

A random headcanon: She loves mint (in food, drink, smoke) and though it's very slight it has a soothing quality that helps her relax. (catnip being in the mint family, yada yada) [She doesn't actually smoke a lot anymore though.]

General Opinion over said character: She is so powerful. Like. To me. Over me. I am so weak and I love her so much and she has been such a delight to explore over the years. Seeing her Go Through Some Shit and Get Worse and also Get Better has been beautiful and I want to cry I love my cat so much.
