[headcanons-n-shit]

What's it like to kiss the FFXIV guys (plus bonus X'rhun)? What's their kissing style?

I am on so much nyquil but fuuuuuuuuck

Thancred kisses like a pro. Its long and slow and deep and illegal in at least three cities. One hand on your cheek, the other curling around the nape of your neck. The angle is perfect, with just enough teeth to make your head spin. His only flaw is that he sometimes forgets that you have to breathe.

Urianger is surprisingly filthy with it. Like, om g that tongue. His kisses are messy, ever toeing the line of needy desperation. Your face'll be a mess, your hair'll be a mess, but twelve above its worth it.

G'raha always starts chaste. Just a dry press of closed lips, like he's asking for permission every time. He's slow with it, languid almost. He kisses you like he has a hundred years to kiss you, purring all the while.

Estinien always goes at it a little too hard, at least to start, noses pressed at an awkward angle, teeth clacking together painfully. If you want a gentle kiss youll have to take the lead, because he kisses like a starved man. Every ilm you give he's going to take for a malm.

Aymeric kisses you like the Lord Commander should. Its demanding, domineering. He licks into your mouth like hes staking claim, always just shy of too rough with his tongue, with just enough teeth to feel dirty. You have to wonder where a noble of his status learned to kiss like that, and then you remember he was childhood friends with Estinien AND haurchefant and. Yeah that tracts actually.

Haurchefant is the biggest fucking tease. He'll give you a little bit, then pull away, only to come back and give you a little bit more. Like he's trying to bait you into... Something. His bed. Losing control. Both. Definitely both.

Sidurgu always kisses you softly. Long and slow and gentle, like if he goes too fast or too hard he might break you, or, worse, lose you. His kisses are comfort and reassurance and, fuck, he could stay here with you for hours, just like this, if only youd let him.

BONUS

X'rhun kisses like a man with a hell of a lot of experience. He kisses like a man who knows exactly what he wants and by the Twelve you are going to give it to him, and what he wants is to savor you. Hes not a man starving, he is a man enjoying the finest decadence in all the realms. Without fail he makes you feel like both his next meal and the most precious person in the world.

“Welcome back home, my friend”

something something my x’rhun tia x Caine (oc) ship but make it spicy angsty

[strawberdii]

Standing in the quiet, darkened streets of Ala Mhigo I felt fear clutch at my heart. A fear that maybe this time I wouldn’t make it back. A fear of what I would do if he did not make it back.

[finalfantasyxivwritings]

Ever since I was introduced to him as a character (and I can thank my wife for the obsession that quickly came afterwards), I’ve been frustrated to no end in that X’rhun Tia is not a voiced character. I tend to mentally focus on the voice of characters when I write them, so my brain is just a constant ‘???’ whenever I try to work with the muse of Local Red Mage Catdaddy™.

I have pondered offhandedly on several options, but only today have I found one that works perfectly for him - or to me personally, at least.

May I offer the wonderful voice of Jeremy Irons, who has an absolutely lovely deep tone, accent and even general speech mannerisms. He is also the voice of Scar from The Lion King (1994 movie obviously, as I will never acknowledge any other recent versions Disney soullessly tried to scramble together), so that’s the connection if you're a millennial and happen to find his voice familiar.

Also imagine the Energy™ of this clip of Brom from Eragon talking about magic, but instead it’s X’rhun teaching you or a character about red magic.

What do you guys think?

FFXIVWRITE-2020

Prompt #21: Foibles

Word count: 484

Black and white. Intertwined, they form the core of red magic. Start with the fundamentals, cast both black and white magic as evenly as possible, use the chainspell effect and bombard your foe with arcane destruction. Cast and build this foundation higher and higher, until your strength reaches its peak. Harness and amplify the energy of those incantations, your physical form serving as an arcane accelerator. Use it to enchant your blade, stand en garde and lunge forward, riposte, zwerchhaw, redoublement then leap away returning to the first step and repeat. Just like dancing. Arciela however was bad at it, just like the fencing part of red magic. It required a certain level of grace and dexterity that Arciela didn't possess, one of her many foibles. And despite following X'rhun's teachings, she still couldn't beat him even once. Of course she didn't expect to surpass him immediately, but it would be nice to land a "touche" on him once. Or touch his ears.

Unlike her current situation, she lost yet another duel. "This is the cruelest training session I had since that time Alisaie was teaching me to swim faster. So as of now, you take the spot of worst teacher, Rhun." she said jokingly and complained some more "I know you said that you won't go easy on me and I agreed, but this is just brutal!"

X'rhun creased up, for a hero, Arciela sure complained a lot about any sort of physical practice. "Come now, you won't get far without working hard. And what's this about me being such a cruel teacher, I thought you said I was as gentle as cat." the duelist teased, for a gentleman of his age, he was mischievous. Arciela suspected that it was the cat side of him at play. "No, I said you were as annoying as my dad." X'rhun cracked up at that, at least she was in a good enough mood to tell jokes.

"Oh, I remember you describing him quite oppositely when you mentioned him before, something like a gentle bear or the like?" Now he was just messing with her, she wasn't a expert on Miqo'te behavior but she picked up a few things from her time with Y'shtola to know that his dilated eyes and twitching tail were a sign of playfulness. "He is, outside of practice anyway." she said as she took X'rhun's hand, who helped her stand up. "Perhaps you'll tell me more about him over tea, he seems like such an interesting person." of course he found her old man interesting, they were practically the same. Well, maybe X'rhun was a bit more vocal with his thoughts and feelings. "Sure maybe I should just take you to Ishgard to meet him, you'll probably get along really well, being all brutal and fatherly." They may have laughed it off as a jest, but Arciela was really considering it.

[darthsuki]

It is rare for X’rhun Tia to allow himself to enjoy even the simple pleasure of sitting down and smelling the roses as the saying would go, though he certainly isn’t one to deny such beauty. 

While Thanalan is often devoid of wide patches of flowers (due to the dry, hot climate), the man’s travels have taken him to places where, in his brief moments of respite, he has allowed himself the smallest warmth of sitting down and watching the clouds pass by above his head.

Aight I'll toss myself in for self indulgence:

How about some of the boys's reactions to a mc who throws their arms around them with a hug of relief?

(some spoilers for shadowbringers, DRK70 and RDM 60 (i think))

Thancred

certainly isn't expecting it. He's panting, exhausted, gunblade slipping from his grip, barely keeping himself propped up for Minfilia's sake, in his least favorite place in the two worlds he's had the displeasure of existing on. To say you take him by surprise is an understatement-- you take him down with you into the glittering wildflowers. It takes him a minute to remember how his arms work before he carefully, carefully returns your hug. And if you're both shaking and crying the entire time, well... Alphinaud and Alisae wont tell.

The pixies might though.

Urianger

barely has an easier time of it than Thancred, but that's only because he is, despite being worn thin, vaguely rested. He still rocks back onto his heels when you interrupt his monologue to throw your arms around him. His arms come around you immediately to steady you, and then tighten, and tighten, as he steadies himself. On one hand, this breakdown was three years in the making.

On the other hand, you now know how to shut him up.

G'raha

is crying. he's crying, okay?! it's been a really long, really challenging hundred years for him. He got shot. Twice. This body has been sleeping in the Crystal Tower for at least a couple of months. And when it finally dawns on you that this is him, him, Student of Baldesion and Scion of the Seventh Dawn, Exarch and Keeper of the Crystal Tower, and you practically tackled him back into the crystal throne that cradled him, well. He needs this as much as you do.

Estinien

Careful, spikey boy is spikey. You're definitely going to have a red mark on your forehead where you bonked against his armor. Gae Bolg clatters onto the ground as his arms come up automatically to steady you, and then his armet as he tosses it aside so that he can lean down to rest his forehead against yours. The last time he saw you, he snatched you out from beneath a falling blade. And the world is still going to shit around you, and it's certainly only going to get worse from here, but right in this moment you're alive in his arms and he can breathe.

Aymeric

should let you go. Should encourage you back into your bed, should tuck the blanket back up around your shoulders and kiss your forehead and tell you to get some more rest. But, fuck, you almost died right in front of him. Here, in this private room, he can surely be allowed this one small indulgence: you, hanging half off the bed, held up almost entirely by his arms as he buries his face in your neck.

Haurchefant

makes a little 'umph' sound as you practically tackle him back into his bed. He's an injured man, aren't you supposed to be a little more delicate with him?! His half-hearted complaints fall on deaf ears, though, especially when he feels your tears against his chest. He wraps his one arm-- just the one, his other side swathed in bandages-- around your shoulders and tugs you a little more securely against him. You've sacrificed so much, had so much taken from you, and when the dawn breaks you will no doubt go out to chop off more of yourself in the name of this war, but right now he needs you to know that you still have him.

Sidurgu

is the one who sweeps you off your feet. You can hear his heartbeat fluttering in his chest, you have got to stop doing this to him. Myste called the shades of the Knights Heavensward against you, and all he could think of was Fray, the fresh snow the clanking of Temple Knight armor and--

There's a lot of berating and ugly crying as he shamelessly clings to you. Even moreso when Rielle comes over to wedge herself between the two of you. He. Can't lose you, okay? Not like that. Not again.

BONUS

X'rhun

gets to breathe out one long sigh of relief before the impact. The two of you tumble down into the dirt, and he gets to make one small noise of complaint when your weight comes down on his wound before the realization hits him even heavier. It's over. It's over. Lambard is dead. He won't hurt anyone else ever again. The souls of the dead have been avenged and the legacy of the Mages Red yet lives and he just

laughs. Against your shoulder. And if his voice is wet and choked with tears, well. So is yours.

Please enjoy Red Mage Senpai!

He’s as gentle as a kitten.

Hello fellow fans of the cat dad, our best teacher, the beautiful X’rhun Tia! I thought we might want a centralised place to screech about him and share content, so I created a discord server for that purpose. Please come and join me, and let’s enjoy everything X’rhun has to offer together!
