Made myself a cover for the notebook that will witness whatever (fan)fiction will spring to life in it.

Still a bit salty I didn’t get the position right enough to draw the whole pommel but well. It’s bound to get dirty anyway, so no harm in not going all out.

// ig's mother is the only one to have ever called him igni and while he doesn't dislike that nickname, he's just so incredibly stubborn to separate himself from his family that he never mentions it to anyone. wouldn't be mad if someone called him that either, though it would make him Remember Things.

Kinktober Day 16- Anal Sex

Again, I knew I had to go full Final Fantasy XV Magic and Miracles Modern AU on this one. I mean. Come on. Noctis and Ignis don't get the love they deserve. I knew, the moment I saw this prompt this was going to be thier time to shine. Also like I had to go full- back story on how they're married with kids now. So there's some love, sweet fluff and heartache- which for as much as Final Fantasy characters suffer- it's kind of par for the course. But at least Noctis and Ignis get to live happily ever after in my AU. (sticks tongue out at Final Fantasy because I may or may not be petty and spiteful. Also CAN WE PLEASE JUST FIND AN ENDING AND STICK TO IT PLEASE?!)

Again, a billion and a half thank you's to @starsandskies for her Kinktober prompts. You're a lifesaver. hopefully I can kick a few of these out rapid fire and try to catch up on my two weeks behind thing. Enjoy.

Kinktober Day 16- Anal Sex

“Ignis…” Noctis groaned as his husband slowly sunk his cock into Noctis’ wide, gaping and eager hole as the lube allowed Ignis’ cock to slide right in and seat itself to the base, but only for Ignis to slowly and practically tortuously pull it right back out until just the tip remained inside before slowly stroking his own cock back into Noctis. Ignis reached around to Noctis and wrapped his hand around his husband’s cock and began to stroke it in time with his own going in and out of his husband. 

“Shh..you’ll wake Jax up.” Ignis whispered into Noctis’ ear because their adopted son was in his crib. Jaxon wasn’t even a whole year old yet but was fast asleep in the crib on the other side of the room while his big sister Alexis slept in the nursery next to her parent’s room. Noctis simply pillowed his face into his pillow to keep any more noises from escaping him and waking up their son who they had adopted with his bigger sister when Jax had been abandoned at the hospital. 

10 months prior- 

Gladio was investigating a call that there was an abandoned child in a trailer at- in his opinion, a rather infamous trashy trailer park. Gladio’s shoulders sagged when he drove into it since was a regular and usual stop for him because of all the criminal activity and domestic abuse that happened here among the residents. He met the park manager- Dan. And when they both approached the trailer in question- to Gladio's horror, the door wasn't even locked or shut all the way. And it was getting to be winter and already kind of chilly and there was clearly no heat in this place.

Gladio and Dan went inside and searched and Gladio called out for the little girl- Lexi- since Dan told him that was the little girl's name- in the same tone he used for his own little ones he had at home. But there was no answer. But his senses told him that he was not alone in here and that this little girl had to be hiding among the trash that seemed to litter among the floor. Even Dan tried to say he had come to bring food for her again as he had a box of cookies this time already open and in his own hands. But she wouldn't come out of her hiding spot, wherever it was.

"Who rents this lot?" Gladio asked.

"Well a Brittanylynn's been paying the rent but she's not paid it in I don't know how long, and no one else has paid it for her for the last few months. But I've heard Little Lexi cryin for her mama but no one's seen any sign of Brittanylynn for days. And half the neighbors are usually high or stoned or whatever to notice much of anything or give half a shit." Dan answered.

"But that Brittanylynn is as white as a snowflake but she has all sorts of "visitors" of every color under the sun come over and they usually pay the rent for her when they leave the place. And I know she's been expectin', but may the Lord have mercy on that baby. Because that thing will be addicted to crack and meth and who knows what else when it comes out. And I tried callin all the hospitals, sayin I'm her pops but they ain't been tellin me nothin and I've been trying to leave what I can for Little Lexi from the local church's food pantry but she won't come out or let me or anyone else really see her, but she'll snatch up the food after dark in a heartbeat and then run and hide again and when I come back, all there will be is the wrappers. I tell you what, some women should never be mothers and Brittanylynn is one of em', she has no business being a mama because the thing is more concerned about getting high than anything else and sell anything and everything she can get her hands on for it too. I'm surprised she hasn't tried to sell Little Lexi honestly." Dan added.

Gladio's stomach sank as he could just shake his head. Because he didn't care if he had to take this little girl home with him tonight and his own little ones would just have another sister, there was no way he was leaving this trailer without Little Lexi either being in his own arms or the arms of someone who would care for her the way she deserved to be. Because obviously the system was failing this little girl and had been all her life and he didn't care what hoops he would have to jump through. This was intolerable and he could only hope and pray Brittanylynn would come back home just so he could arrest her, but only after she could get her daughter out of wherever she was hiding.

This place looked like it hadn’t been cleaned it at least a decade and smelled downright disgusting. Especially since there were piles of feces on the floor which made Gladio think there must have been a pet in here too.

"So what kind of dog does she have?" Gladio asked.

"Oh she aint got no pets. She can barely afford to feed herself, much less Little Lexi. I can tell when she's suffering from withdrawls tho- cause she screams at Little Lexi and does God knows what to her. Child Protective Services have already been out here and after her but the problem is no one is willing to take Little Lexi, all the orphanages are full and all the usual foster parents aint got the room for her either. Little Lexi, is probably short for probly Lexus or something like that, just like people name their kids Porche, and Mercedes or things like that. But I ain't seen no animal comin around this trailer. But that don't look like no dog or cat I can...oh Lord. No. If that ain't comin from an animal, it must be comin from Little Lexi." Dan answered as he realized it just as he was saying it.

Much to Gladio's horror and Dan's- there was no pet. And judging from the size of the feces, Gladio’s heart broke as his gut lurched that a baby, perhaps a toddler had literally shit on the floor. There was no food to speak of in the house, but there were dirty diapers that seemed scattered but not any unused ones to be seen as he feared if she was wearing some kind of pull up, she must have had diaper rash something awful too.

But wrappers of the ready to eat food that the manager had left for Lexi and other stuff from what Gladio could only think was from Brittanylynn. And what was in the refrigerator was growing at least 5 kinds of mold and practically was growing legs to walk itself out of the refrigerator. Gladio was calling every number he had of Child Protective Services, EMT's, the Fire Department and friends and familiy for help on finding this poor little girl who was somehow still hiding in this house somewhere. 

He finally heard little whimpers which led him to a closet and when he went to open the door, he saw a whole that looked like it had been kicked in and little fingers holding up a board to cover the little child hiding in the hole. 

“It’s ok Little Lexi. I’m here. I’m not gonna hurt you. I swear and promise I will not hurt you. Are you ok?” Gladio asked in his most gentle, patient tone he had before the fingers disappeared and the board slid down to reveal a little toddler literally shaking in fear and peeing herself in the wall. Gladio could do nothing but cry as his imagination tormented him about who had hurt this little baby and what they had done to her. He couldn’t tell if it was dirt or bruises on her skin but he feared it was layers of both. And he wanted to kill the parents as he unfortunately had to document this and take her picture as evidence. 

“Is Lexi your name? What’s your name?” Gladio asked as he could tell Lexi was practically hyperventilating as she balled herself up between the studs in the wall.  

“Lexi? Is that your name?” Gladio asked before the little girl nodded but otherwise tried to put herself in such a way that she could not be pulled out of that hole. 

And no matter what Gladio or Dan did or the first responders did, even Tredd came with the Fire Department and while Lexi would talk to him a little bit more, she still screamed anytime anyone even reached for her and none of them could coax her out as several people went to every place that sold food and bought every food item they could think of to lure Lexi out but she would only reach for the food and immediately pulled the food back into the hole with her to eat it but otherwise, was too quick for anyone to grab ahold of her arm to pull her out.

Gladio was at his wit's end and called in everyone he could to come and help him and get this poor little girl the hell out of here and sent a huge group text to all of his friends about it.

But only several hours before, when Noctis came into work, he was checking in with his adopted mother Sylva who owned Miracles Hospital along with Ravus, Luche and Ignis- when a nurse came in to report that one of the mothers that had given birth at Miracles Hospital had fled during the night and left behind the baby during shift change.

So Noctis immediately went to the nursery with his mother and his husband Ignis to see the baby in question. Noctis didn’t need to be asked or told, but simply jumped in and went into the nursery and asked how he could help them care for the little baby who had yet to even get a name. Noctis practically planted his feet like a tree in that nursery and picked the baby boy up who was crying his little head off before the nurses put morphine into his formula and informed Noctis that it was clear the baby’s birth mother was addicted to drugs, but they weren’t sure until the blood work could come back which one, or in her case- multiple drugs- it was but the baby was showing the classic signs of being addicted to opioids and that was standard practice. 

So Noctis took his business jacket off, took his tie off, and took off his dress shirt to reveal just an undershirt because he didn’t want his cologne he had sprayed on his outfit to upset the baby boy. Then he took that baby boy into his arms and sat down in the rocker they had in this nursery. He and everyone else had helped Gladio and Luche enough when their babies were born to know how to feed and care for a baby, and Noctis immediately slipped into the role of a father.

Sylva knew that Noctis was probably not going to be leaving this hospital without that baby boy as she went ahead and helped Noctis and Ignis with the paperwork of taking custody of the abandoned baby, if not as the baby’s parents, but at the very least, foster parents. But by the time Gladio’s call came in, Noctis and Ignis were still in the nursery trying to help the nurses with Jaxon’s bottle feeding since Noctis had practically fallen in love with the baby boy as a father, because he couldn’t fathom how anyone could abandon such a precious little thing as Ignis too was happy to follow his husband into fatherhood. Noctis was not keen on anyone but Ignis or his mother from taking that baby out of his arms as his adopted mother Sylva simply smiled knowingly as she was still filling out paperwork for Noctis to go ahead and adopt that baby in his arms when Noctis, Ignis, and Sylva’s phones all went off from Gladio. 

“I’ll go.” Ignis insisted before he kissed Noctis and Jax’s head and then Sylva’s cheek and went to the address Gladio texted him and when he came in, he saw a group of cops, paramedics, firefighters and social workers all grouped in a bedroom around a closet. 

“What’s going on?” Ignis asked. 

“There’s this little girl in there, her name is Lexi. She’s barely a toddler, she’s not wearing anything but she’s crammed herself into a hole in the closet and while she’ll take food from us, she won’t come out for anyone and we’re afraid to get her from the other side of the wall just in case she could get hurt.” Gladio informed him. 

“Because I don’t want to try to saw around her on the backside since the other side of that wall is the outside of the trailer. And even just in case I accidentally nick her skin with the saw blade. She is clearly traumatized, I don’t want to add to it.” Tredd offered since he was on the firefighter squad that got called in too and while he had gotten the farthest with her so far and Lexi would take food from him and say a few things to him, that's all he could get. Everyone had tried and failed so far.

Ignis did a double take on who the mother was supposed to be. 

“Guys. This is the same woman who just abandoned her newborn son at the hospital last night. She barely filled anything out on her paperwork. She didn’t even give the baby a name and who knows about the biological father and right now he’s being treated for infant addiction to crack cocaine and meth.” Ignis revealed as his own heart broke as did theirs as they gave each other meaningful looks. 

“Ok, let me try to get her out. I'll see if I can use her baby brother at the hospital to entice her out.” Ignis offered before he came over to where she was and slowly opened the door to the closet and found the hole that looked like it had been kicked into it as this poor little girl was wedged between the studs but eating the cookie she had been given as he knelt down in front of her. 

“Mama had her baby.” Ignis tried to tell her. 

“New baby? Big belly baby?” She finally asked. 

“Yeah, he’s at the hospital, do you want to see him?” Ignis asked as she nodded. 

“Then come on, let's get you cleaned up and dressed and go to the hospital to see him, ok?” Ignis offered as he gently reached his hand out to her and smiled sadly when she- oh so hesitantly reached out to him as he simply let her use his arm to help herself get out of the wall and readily wrapped a blanket around her before she came into his arms. 

That single act of trust from her- surprised Ignis as he was practically overcome with emotion as that same sense that Noctis had felt earlier soon came to him too. His own instincts kicked in and screamed at him that this was now his daughter. And when the social workers tried to reach for her, his heart broke when this little girl clung to him for dear life and screamed and cried that she didn’t want anyone but Ignis to touch her, let alone hold her. And he could not let her go when she cleary did not want to leave him. And in response, instinctively held her fast to his own chest. 

“She needs medical attention. I’ll ride with her in the back of the ambulance.” Ignis insisted and Gladio and Tredd practically cleared a path while Tredd jumped into the back of the ambulance with him so he could help give her any medical attention himself as she seemed to be ok with his presence but because Gladio was in his police officer uniform, she did not like him simply based on that. But something about Ignis drew her to him, and him to her in turn. 

Ignis got into the back of the ambulance and had to simply try to coax this little girl to recieve a check up and make sure she didn’t have any injuries other than being incredibly dirty as Tredd’s jaw clenched when he tried to wash some of the dirt off only to find there were bruises under the dirt as he happily gave Gladio a rundown of what he had found so that Gladio could arrest at least the mother for child endangerment and child neglect and child abuse to her charges and once they could do some blood work, see if anyone in the database turned up as her biological father before Gladio tried to look up any next of kin. But everyone he called denied being related and denied any ties to either Brittanylynn or her daughter Lexi.

 Once at the hospital, Ada, Selena and Pashmina were there, all of them with huge bags of clothes and diapers as Ada and Pashmina especially went into mom mode as they quickly took him to a birthing suite as it took Ada, Selena and Ignis together with the social workers there to oversee as they very gently washed this little girl as Ada, Selena and Ignis were all teary eyed when they saw all the filth fall off of this girl while Pashmina put together clothes for the little girl and get diapers and pull ups ready too along with a huge array of hair products since Lexi was mixed race so her hair would need special products to accommodate her hair. 

But once Lexi was clean, Ada got more pictures of her clean, but otherwise cut and bruised little body and sent them to Gladio so he would have “proof” besides the pictures he had already taken of the state of the apartment along with the social worker and the child protective services person who had stayed behind to document the state of the house with him. 

Lexi let Pashmina and Selena dress her after Ada finally was able to get something of a diaper on her, all while she stayed in Ignis’ arms. Lexi was surprisingly good to let Pashmina detangle her hair and try to condition it the best she could. And once Lexi was clean and dressed, Sylva had come into the room to see Ignis holding her and got caught up about what had happened and what Ignis had done to get her to come out and what Ignis had found when he got there which broke Sylva's heart as she immediately texted her other assistants to get more paperwork so that Ignis and Noctis could take custody of Lexi too.

Sylva insisted that her son and his husband were perfectly capable and prepared to at the very least- to foster them and handed the social worker and the child protective service agent that had come to the hospital wiht Lexi- the key they had to her son’s condo if they needed to do a home inspection. Which they were happy to do and were grateful that Sylva had personally seen to this particular case herself. 

“Well hello there Sweetie, you ready to see your baby brother?” Sylva asked Lexi before Lexi nodded and Ignis carried her to the nursery to see Jaxon still in Noctis’ arms. 

“Baby?” She asked. 

“Yup. That’s your baby brother Lexi.” Ignis answered. 

“He looks like Mama but brown like me.” She noted as she came over to see him and had no trouble settling herself into Noctis’ lap to do so. 

“Well hi, I’m Noct. What’s your name Sweetie?” Noctis asked her as he adjusted his arms to hold both of them.

“Lexi.” She answered happily as she smiled and Noctis could see that she had probably never seen a toothbrush in her little life either. But he was adamant that- that from this moment on, both Lexi and Jaxon would receive the best parental care from himself and from Ignis who was now sitting beside him and wiping a few stray tears of happiness out of his eyes. 

“You know that phenomenon of cats choosing their owners?” Sylva prompted them as she got handed a new stack of paperwork for them to fill out. 

“It seems our kids chose us huh?” Noctis immediately smiled through his tears as he hugged his new family that he had no idea he would be finding and coming across that morning. 

“Yup. Boys, go with the girls, Ada, Pash and Selena go shopping. Get Noct and Iggy everything they need to at least foster, if not adopt these two, you'll need cribs, beds, carseats, bedding, proper kid friendly foods, the works.” Sylva urged them as she put her credit cards into each of their hands to do so before the girls immediately set what was left at Ignis’ feet as he sat in a chair next to his husband while Ignis and Noctis happily told their friends which rooms to set up Lexi’s nursery in what room in their house, as well as where to put Jax’s crib too. Which Noctis insisted that the crib be in his own bedroom. And where to put everything that had been in that room- elsewhere in the place as their friends left to do that. 

“I’m tired.” Lexi said before she came back over to Ignis and practically fell asleep in his arms as Sylva wrapped one of her new baby blankets around her while Ignis gently rocked her in the rocking chair and couldn’t stop holding her securely or kissing the crown of her head. 

“Does parenthood always feel this intense?” Ignis asked Sylva. 

“Yes. One moment you think you have your life all figured out. The next- you have another human being in your life that you love more than anything or anyone else in the world.” Sylva grinned proudly. 

“And you’re ready to kill whoever brought harm to them?” Ignis whispered. 

“Oh yeah. Welcome to fatherhood. I hope you both got plenty of sleep last night because the next several months are going to be very hard. Lots of sleepless nights, lots of inspections, lots of 3am feedings and daiper changes and all of that. But if Lexi- even with her past- sensed that you were safe. Then never let her down or prove otherwise. Jaxon will be lucky to know nothing but you and Noct. But Lexi- she will need a lot of TLC, a lot of care, extra gentleness and probably a lot of therapy and you’ll need to arm yourself with knowledge about how to care for her and reassure her that no harm will ever come to her again.” Sylva murmured to Ignis as she reached over to pet her new granddaughter’s head. 

“Poor thing. Well, thank you for officially making me a grandmother.” Sylva cooed to both Ignis and Noctis as Noctis and Ignis softly chuckled as they continued to hold and rock their new children. 

And by nightfall. Ignis and Noctis helped put Lexi into her new carseat. And took her home as Lexi and while she was weary at first, she fell in love with thier dogs and the dogs immediately fell in love with her and would not leave her side. She was happy to be fed and ate as if she had once again, never eaten anything before in her life. It seemed everyone had pitched in and had dinner waiting for Noctis and Ignis and Lexi when they would get home but would give Noctis and Ignis space and time to bond with Lexi. And that night when she saw her new room, she was so happy and when she got tucked in, the dogs immediately got up into the bed with her and laid all around her which she loved and was happy to fall asleep, clean, full and most importantly safe as she got used to the feeling of brushing her teeth and having them be clean while Ignis had already set up an appointment for her to see the best pediatric dentist in the area.

However, the next morning, Brittanylynn's body was found. In the back of an alley within walking distance of the hospital and had clearly died of an overdose.

"Hey Sweetheart?" Ignis asked as he had taken her to work with him that day since Ignis and Noctis had a dual office as Lexi was eating her breakfast off of Ignis' desk.

"Yeah Daddy Iggy?" Lexi asked as Ignis' heart both melted at the term of endearment, but also because he had to find a way to tell her about her mother.

"So, it looks like you won't be able to see your Mama again." Ignis tried to gently inform her as Lexi's face brightened with a smile.

"Mama's not gonna take me away and hurt me again? And the men that come over to the bad home won't hurt me either?" Lexi asked happily as Ignis could only smile bittersweetly as tears flooded his eyes.

"Nope. You're never gonna see her again, she is never going to take you away from me or Daddy Noct and no one will ever hurt you again Lexi. I promise and swear on that. Never ever. And I and Daddy Noct will always love you, take care of you and make sure that you're always safe, always full and clean and warm." Ignis reassured her before Lexi turned around and hugged him as tight as she could.

"Good." Lexi sighed happily before she let go to eat more of her breakfast as Noct looked mortified to hear his daughter say such horrific things but gave his husband a look of adamant agreement to Ignis' reassurance to their new daughter as he fed Jaxon who was laying on Noct's chest so they had more skinship.

And three months later after Jaxon got weaned off of his addiction, he was able to come home too. And by that point. Lexi couldn’t be happier to be in her new home. With her two daddies and her little brother and all her big dogs who slept all around her in her toddler bed. 

Present day. 

But today was a very special day and special occasion, they had taken the day off of work, taken Lexi and Jaxon to go play and go get a really good lunch and took their little family out for a very nice and fancy anniversary dinner as their anniversary cards now included Lexi's name and Jaxon's name on them. Because while the couple had only been married for three years. They had loved each other for much longer than that. And Ignis, while he knew he had to be quiet, was not about to forgo the special occasion and was enjoying every second of it as was Noctis. 

Ignis grinned when Noctis’ body started to tense as he rocked his ass back into Ignis to take every glorious inch of his cock into his ass before Ignis tensed and keened as he spilled his seed down into his lover before he pulled out and laid down as Noctis gradually slid down to lay on his stomach as he waited for Ignis to recover. 

“Ready?” Noctis asked with a gleeful gleam in his eye. 

“Of course My Prince.” Ignis cooed before he kissed him before Ignis got into position while Noctis delighted in sliding his own cock into Ignis this time and it was Ignis’ turn to use a pillow to stifle down his own moans and keens of pleasure as Noctis grabbed Ignis by the hips and then just pistoned his cock into Ignis’ ass and soon the sound of Noctis’ flesh snapping and slapping against Ignis’ almost echoed in the room before Nocits finally let loose his own load into Ignis before he collapsed next to his husband on the bed. 

“Happy Anniversary Iggy.” Noctis cooed tiredly but happily and perfectly satedly too. 

“Happy Anniversary Noct.” Ignis returned before he kissed his husband before they fell asleep in each other’s arms.

Solitary Balemoon in a Sky of Fading Stars

"Fate grants favors to no one. Only those who would fight it with every ounce of their being may earn the right to challenge it."

— Pierro, "The Jester"

◆ Name: Arlecchino

◆ Title: Dire Balemoon

◆ Head of the House of the Hearth

◆ Vision: Pyro

◆ Constellation: Ignis Purgatorius

To this day, Arlecchino still recalls that night when she was first appointed as a Harbinger.

Up the stairs and down the long gallery, with naught to see through the windows but a world of ice and snow without end.

The biting wind wailed loudly, now as mirthful laughter, now as somber farewell—

With a start, Arlecchino came to, the hallucinations of her memory mingling with the sounds of real-life conversation that surrounded her.

The hearthfire burned with vigor, its gentle warmth pervading the room, and its red light glowed on the children's faces, lighting up their innocent, unaffected smiles. If some uninformed passerby were to stumble in at this precise moment, they would surely mistake the scene before them for that of an ordinary, happy family.

But just as Arlecchino raised her steaming cup to take a sip of scalding-hot black tea, the clock began to chime — and within an instant, the laughter and cheer that filled the room were banished. The flames flickered so that for a moment the light faltered, the faces of all present cast in somber expression.

Placing her cup back down, Arlecchino stood up, and in a calm, measured tone, called out several names:

"Chapleau, you're with Lyney. Retrieve the required intelligence. Foltz, you and Filliol are on guard duty. Stay back and tend to the Hearth..."

"Yes, 'Father.'"

Without a redundant syllable, nor a hint of hesitation, they answered as one.

Not long after, the fire had dwindled and the house fallen utterly silent, with nothing to be seen but a single shaft of infiltrating moonlight, peeking through a gap in the curtains upon a cup of gradually cooling tea.

“Hnn..!”

It was one of those nights again.

Sweat tumbled down his temple. No source of light. The polar tang was deep in the abyss. Your soft snores. The blanket hooding you both.

His hands were shaky. His chest was pounding. His lips agape.

“U—uh…”

Just a dream. Just a dream. No.

Not a dream. Reality. The past. Their corpses. The ruins of his city. Bestowed upon him, the laments and dirges of Flevance. They chanted and howled, damned souls who shrieked and condemned the morose government, a newborn Canto VI; Dante’s most passionate inspiration. Mystical, a fantasy, but no dream it was. No, it was not.

If only it could be.

The repugnant fetor of sulfur and acrid smog, ingrained in his nostrils, the buzzing of the flies as he walked among the stench of methane. It was a remote remembrance, clear as a fragile vase of glass, one that would shatter over and over and make his sluggish heart weep, no matter how many times he fixed and carried it. A life torn piece by piece by what was, and is, the ruthless world.

Gone were the days he could live free from his mind, the faces of those he yearned to meet once more, nothing but an ignis fatuus, one that served heartache and warmth in unison. Acerbic, pungent, more than any fruit, acidic upon his tender skin, spilled upon his skull and dissolved it without an ounce of control.

His favorite comics brought dolor. What was formerly one of his dearest pages developed into the fuel of his insecurities, thoughts.

“Look, brother! Sora didn’t die! I told you he wouldn’t!”

His sister’s giggles, nebulous; muffled, lost in time.

“Is it clear, Law? If you’re uncertain, tell me, alright? I’ll explain it to you as many times as you need.”

His father’s lessons but a distant reminiscence.

“Like this, sweetie. You’re a fast learner! Look at you, my smart baby. Mommy’s always here.”

His mother’s delicate hands guiding him, now a phantom.

His childhood companions’ cheering whenever he scored the max on a test, quieter than the gale. The nun’s concerned gaze when he carried Lami and asked to bring her home when she got wounded, forever gone. Corazon’s clumsy scenes he wanted to see again. His smile.

“I love you, Law!”

All their unconditional love.

Love. Love.

He shut his eyes.

How much he craved it. Tore apart in a single night, shredded in another after so thoroughly rebuilding it. And now here he was, trying again. But oh, was it difficult. His breathing often faltered, one false move able to destabilize him. Reconstructing it with paper was an enterprise. A fragment given by each of the people he met — little ones by the citizens in Swallow Island, bigger ones by Wolf, Bepo, Penguin, Shachi, his crew, and what survived of his fractured history was utilized as a base. Yours was almost a blanket. It was a prodigious sheet.

They all supported themselves simultaneously. But it wobbled. A lot. Often he couldn’t manage it. Terrified, alone, as he watched all his efforts about to topple. But it never did.

“… Law?”

Oh no. He woke you up.

“Go to sleep.” It came almost like a snap — to not show he was suffering.

Just go to sleep. Don’t bother with him. Don’t.

“Well… now I won’t do that.” you groggily said, his fingers clenching as you propped yourself up with an elbow. “Nightmare?”

You couldn’t see him in the darkness, but he was still an open book. He couldn’t lie to you, nor did he want to. He tried his best to change his mannerisms and patterns.

You’re his partner. Not a stranger.

“Yeah.” he exhaled tremulously, thorns in his throat.

He heard the rustles, the heat of your frame radiating against his. He couldn’t see you, but he imagined you — feeling your massages and head upon his shoulder. It tickled his neck a little.

“Mh. Baby … it’s okay. It’s okay.”

Obscurity and death clutched him with crisp, meager bones and itching shadows. However, a minor light banished them all; tender, so generous. That sound, yours… Fleeting fingers and honeyed pampering.

His droopy and heavy eyelids fluttered open, those golden eyes that carried unspoken anguish all but courageous; what was a mask he got used to wearing now sunk in the void, crystal tears brimming and gushing down his visage, scrunched up and full of lineaments. Quakes wracked his body, hisses leaving his quivering lips.

“I—I…” Nothing came out. Yet your arms remained still around him.

“Sh … Slowly honey. Take your time. I’m here.”

Here. With him.

“I… I’m so sorry. So sorry. Please forgive me. Please.”

Oh, that poor, poor man … What did he do to deserve this? To experience a catastrophe?

“M—Mom… Dad…”

“Law, hey—”

“La—Lami, Cora… Cora-san..!” He couldn't stop. As one sob wrenched from his lungs, another came, and another, and another, and another. His spine twisted, facing down; curling against you, your lips on his brow.

"Law." You called him gingerly, smoothly, hugging him close. Don't let me go, was all he thought.

"It's not your fault. Never. It's okay. Shh… Honey, hey… It's okay baby, it's okay. You're okay. Shh… Look at me."

And he did. Your palms seemed so much more real. An opportunity, some place to run. A light.

"There we go. Good job sweetie. It's okay. You're okay. It's not your fault."

"… N—not …"

"Not your fault. Never your fault, sweetheart. Everything is okay."

"… Mh. Mmhm."

He responded, unable to form coherent sentences, and cradled you close like a lifeline — the only anchor in this storm. You held him just as tightly, grazing his tense, knotted back. He was shuddering so much.

"Good job. That's my Law. Shh…"

It hurt. It truly did. To catch him like this, to see him so bare. No child, person, should ever go through such horrible things — you remembered how you both cried when he opened up. That confidence he wore for all of his crew finally crumbling at the ounce of vulnerability the universe granted him.

Shachi and Penguin never mentioned it. They divulged tales about Swallow Island — but they kept quiet about Law's other past, respecting his privacy. Bepo was a bit more clumsy with his sayings, information slipping from his fangs before he could stop it. (He'd quickly cover his mouth, a little squeak escaping it.)

When Law revealed everything, it was chaotic. You both had an argument some hours before. You were shocked he didn't crumple in your arms.

Seldom you’ve seen him cry.

"They—they would've liked you," he mumbled between hiccups, the tinge of nostalgia palpable.

"Law…"

"I wish you could've met them. I- I really wish they were here." They’d be proud, wouldn’t they? He could’ve worked with his father. His mother. Lami would’ve been a wonderful nurse or a doctor. Corazon would have joined him.

In another life, perhaps. Now the Rose held them.

"I wish I could've met them, too. I know you miss them… But they're—" his skin molded under your pointing finger as you pressed right on his sweet, scarred heart, "—right here. Forever. They're proud of you. I know they are."

"… I … hope so." he believed so, too — but saying it felt too egoistic of him. If you knew, you’d knock his head. He could tell.

"No no, baby. They are. I'm proud of you, too. So proud. Okay?"

He breathed deeply, nodding slowly.

"Okay. Okay."

“Good. You’re getting better,” you assured him, and those words never felt more gratifying. He had to be kind to himself. Gentle. The mind is fragile. He hopes — no, he knows you’d forgive him for being harsh on himself before. He knows. He knows.

“I try. I do. It's so hard, though,” he sniffed, resting his forehead on yours, to feel your warmth, your breath, your vitality, his "Beatrice", “they went too soon, sometimes I wish I could’ve followed them.” he admits, and your eyes grow more compassionate.

“But … my friends. My crew. The people I’ve met. What my family would want, Corazon’s wish. You. I’m glad to be here,” he says, taking deep breaths between. He’s safe in your arms. He can go at his own pace.

“Are you glad to be alive?” Some might see your question as idiotic, but Law knows the difference.

“That … I cannot tell. Sometimes I still feel like I don’t deserve it.”

“Mh.”

It was rather quiet after that. Only your breathing and his. The stirring of your pajamas. The hushed buzzing of the submarine.

It was welcome, though.

“Change is complex,” he then spoke, looking at you with a glimpse of hope. “but … I’m willing to try. I have to. For the crew, for you, for—for me.”

Tranquility took him when you smiled, something unlocking in his spirit. It wasn’t onerous anymore.

“Good. Especially for you, honey. We appreciate you being so tough, truly, but…” you brushed your lips on his jaw and peppered soft, tiny kisses. “There's nothing wrong with being weak. We all are. If you fight it, it hurts. It’s just us. Our feeble little selves. Give yourself a break from time to time. You are doing well.”

Law deeply appreciated your snogs, his frantic heartbeat calming. You led him down onto the mattress again, covering both your forms with the blanket.

“Let go, honey. Cry. And don’t hold back. You’re safe now.”

Tender murmurs filled the night. Law's head rested in the crook of your neck. His frightened mourns eased, his restless limbs no longer a problem — caresses and soothing, calm words eased the poor child, who wanted nothing but to live in peace.

And so he reached Eden, your pious hand accompanying him to Paradiso.

Stretched out my character design muscles by turning a bunch of my favorite* Pokémon into cute girls inspired by the original creatures.

(*Galarian Weezing and Clodsire aren't as high on the list as the rest, I just had some fun character design ideas for them, but everyone else is definitely my top 10)

Character names and short bios below the cut:

Glaceon (x2) | Firn & Mint | Duo magicians specializing in ice magic illusions and fantastic icicle displays, they're part of a band of performers.

Farigiraf | Zarifa | The curator of her own museum. She has a fondness for the old, dusty, magical, and especially cryptic.

Falinks | Hexa Semestre | Genius inventor, master of technology, immature brat, and super full of herself. Very much chaotic neutral, she's prone to nice and naughty acts alike, but it heavily depends on her mood and whoever is paying her with the tastier snacks.

Whirlipede/Scolipede | Latrielle | A high-ranking member of a secret evil organization. She specializes in taming and breeding dangerous beasts and insects with her unique charm and strange magicks.

Ribombee | Talis | A teeny tiny pollen collector and seller. Using her fairy intuition, she's able to tap into the mystical power of flower pollen, and turn them into a powerful healing substances and painting materials.

Sylveon | Pennon | An energetic acrobat who's part of the Glaceon Twins' performing troup. She also part-times as a candy shop clerk. Which candy shop, you ask? All of them.

Galarian Weezing | Madam Miasma | An eccentric perfume maker and wandering saleswoman. She shrouds herself with her own special perfumes. Her mood, methods, and prices dramatically shift with each kind of aroma.

Breloom | Boleta | An apothecary who lives by herself in the forest, studying mushrooms. She's learned the effects of many fungi breeds and their spores, and weaves them into her staff and self-defense fighting tactics.

Slither Wing | Dawn / "Daybreaker" | Professional wrestler in the evening, monster fighter in the morning. "Daybreaker" wakes up squarely at sunrise to fend off the daily influx of giant monsters that threaten her peaceful city.

Clodsire | Daisy | A simple lackadaisical young girl who's often seen prowling the marketplace, conversing with random passersby and indulging in free samples.

Wailord | Lady Duchess McGalleon | The only child, heir, and right hand to a canned plankton tycoon. While patiently waiting for her huge inheritance, she helps her father by overseeing the company's workers, always looming tall over them.

Typhlosion | Ignis Megaboom | She's always throwing herself into fights with no purpose, but her behavior is likely due to insecurities or something. The only time you'll see her exhibit patience is when she's charging up her explosive attacks.

A Reveal because the Lucis Caelums had a magical family tree made up once and somebody finally found the thing after it was lost in the archives for a few centuries.

Regis is not even the only person with bastards, he's just the most recent one and it's not even the biggest scandal.

(That would be the confirmation that the children of that one LC queen couple of hundreds years ago were most definitely not sired by her husband, which honestly, everyone expected already because the man was so gay and not even pretending otherwise.)

Noctis stares at the magic family tree.

He stares at it. Ignis stares at it.

The two of them exchange looks.

"Well," Noctis says eventually, "Do you think I can toss the crown at one of my siblings-"

Ignis gives him a look that would make lesser men weep.

"I'm not sure they would appreciate that."

-

After that Noctis takes the family tree and with Prompto's help carefully looks up the names of his siblings.

One of them lives in Lestallum and works as a scientist at the power plant, Thanatos seems to be a cheerful man with red eyes and that makes Noctis wonder WHY no one has connected him to their father earlier.

The next is Ardor, who has a Kwetter account that is only used to post blurry shots of beasts and daemons that Ardor was hunting and to response to his other siblings.

Which is how Noctis finds out that all his half-siblings know about each other and regularly interact through the internet.

It makes him feel a bit lonely to be honest. He understands their desire to not want to come forward but-

Well.

He's always wanted a bigger family.

The next person Noctis and Prompto find is a man named Ace who is Hunter and sometimes appears in Ardor's photos. He's Galahdian, obvious by the beads in his hair, and Noctis and Prompto share a look when they realize that Ace is married to an active member of the Kingsglaive.

Persephone is next, she's a priestess with a warm smile that Noctis thinks is somehow comforting and threatening at the same time. She is also married to an active member of the Kingsglaive and routinely shows up on her siblings feed asking them to 'please reconsider what they are about to do'.

Jules works in a book store. She has mousy brown hair and bright blue eyes hidden behind thick frames. She looks like someone Ignis would get along with.

Bard is - okay, Noctis has known who Bard is for a while know, her videos go viral whenever she posts her street performances and Noctis knows that Ignis and Gladio are fans. He wonders if he can get them an autograph.

Jupiter is the sister of an active member of the Kingsglaive and Noctis begins to wonder if they're training them so poorly they can't recognize members of the loyal family.

There is nothing on Mercury's page but cat photos that she tags her siblings in with 'this you?' the latest of which is a wet cat staring at the camera that Mercury tagged Ardor in.

Noctis is a little hurt that they all know each other and yet never bothered to come forward.

If he posts a video of the magically glowing family tree on his Official Account and tags all his siblings in it with 'this u?' well-

Noctis deserves to blow up the internet once and while.

As a treat.

(The existence of the siblings gets quickly brushed aside when the family tree - upon study by various historians - confirms that the children of The Star were not sired by her husbands.

Thanatos immediately posts a joke about 'horny running in the family'.)

RWBY Winter Tales

Ghostly Winds

For @chaoslordjoe

Jaune and Yang smiled as they watched Tristan and Lionel shape their snowmen. While most children would make simple snowpeople with sticks for arms, stones for eyes and a carrot nose, Tristan and Lionel decided to go all out and make snow sculptures. Tristan's was a knight wielding a sword in both hands, while Lionel's was a puppy with a bone in its mouth. Jaune chuckled as he picked up the younger of the two.

Jaune: Seems like we have ourselves two artisans in the making.

Lionel: *chuckles* You know it! I already have a name for this dog right here.

Jaune: Oh? What is it?

Lionel: Gelert! Just like in the story of the Loyal Dog.

Jaune: Awwww, that's really sweet! I'm sure Gelert would appreciate the tribute.

Yang: What about you, little man? Who's this handsome fellow supposed to be?

Tristan: That's me. Some day, I wanna be a great knight! Just like the ones in Vale!

Yang: *nods head* Very nice! Saving kingdoms, swinging swords and riding off in stylish armour.

Tristan: You know it! But if that doesn't work, I can always be like you and Jaune. A Witcher for hire.

Yang: ...you want to be a Witcher?

Tristan: Eh, maybe. But only if I can't be a knight.

Yang: I see... oh... *frowns*

Tristan: Hm? Are you okay?

Yang: ...you know, I think it's about time you went off to bed! *smiles nervously*

Lionel: Aw what?

Tristan: But it's not even dark yet.

Jaune: Boys, listen to your mother. Night falls faster in winter. Come on now, scoot.

Jaune and Yang hurried back inside and tucked in their children to bed. In the living room, Yang cast Igni on the candles and warmed her hands. She had a saddened look on her face.

Jaune: *places blanket over her* Is everything alright? You seem tense.

Yang: *sighs* Of course I'm tense. Tristan wants to be a Witcher.

Jaune: *raises eyebrow* That's what got you worried? Come on, he's a kid. They're always saying silly things like that.

Yang: But what if he's serious about this? Ever since we took him in after his father died, he's always looked up to us. He sees as heroes, even after some of the terrible things we've done.

Jaune: Isn't that a good thing? He doesn't see us as monsters.

Yang: I know, but our life as Witchers isn't what I want for him. It's filled with pain, blood, hatred. *carresses his cheek* We're a family now and I don't want him to face the kind of dangers we did.

Jaune: *holds Yang* He won't, don't worry. Look, I know you love him, Lionel too, but I think you're letting this get to your head a little. Kids change their mind all the time. Remember when Lionel was adamant about hating turnips. One bite of your roast changed that and now he begs for more every day.

Yang: *chuckles* Yeah, you're probably right. I guess I just didn't realise how hard being a mom would be. *turns to Jaune and kisses him* Thank you, sweetheart.

Jaune: Always. Now can I get some of that blanket? It's freezing.

Yang: *laughs and opens the blanket* Get in here.

Jaune sat on Yang's lap as she draped the blanket over both of them. Outside, the snow started fall heavier and the wind picked up. The sound of hooves thundered the ground as a group of knights in jet black armour raced across the landscape. They screeched and howled, their eyes glowing red as hot flames. Any who came into contact with them would never see their old life, their souls now belonging to the riders. Many nations and kingdoms across Remnant feared them, for they were wraiths that brought the omen of war. They were the Wild Hunt... and they were sending a message.
