Rarepair week 2025 - Day 4: Uncharted Waters
Sometimes, you're told to get out of the house by someone who, much as you, do not want to get out of the house. Who knew everyone inside a store could want to not be there at the same time? Probably most retail workers.
"I can only hope I did not ruin her day." Baelsar grumbled somewhere after halfway to the house.
"Oh, no. But she is telling everyone at home about it later."Series

It's surprisingly easy to not worry about almost dying when you can't really remember any of it. Nor would you mind. The Ruby Weapon has not been destroyed, but its pilot was not happy about the attempt.
"And then you go and almost die."

Rarepair Week 2025 - Day 1: Umbral
A Warrior of Light showed up in their doorstep, sickly and miserable, asking for a favor. The reason for it has to be disclosed, much to the distaste - and grief - of the involved.
“You seem committed to hiding all of this.” It was a self-evident truth, one Gaius didn't wait to be confirmed. He frowned at the ground, mulling over his next words before saying them. “You have your reasons, I'm sure. And you have every right to distrust me, given…” A pause, heavy and meaningful. A deep breath. “But if I am able to help you, you need only ask. Whenever.”

Summary
I have taken the liberty, Alphinaud began, words which from anyone else would have been an order and not politesse, of obtaining for you and Allie berthings on a ship to Tuliyollal from Limsa Lominsa in a month.
“Brat,” Gaius said, fondly, and took up his pen to reply. If he was wanted in Tural, then there was but one sensible choice.

Summary

Reunited with her father to stop the Weapon project, the only thing on her mind is just how much she can press his buttons. And the perfect target for that is none other than his traveling companion, Valdeaulin.

Summary

But when she is stolen away from the home she has found, that she has claimed as her own, the consequences may be far different than her captors expected.
A follow up to Mint & Olives.

Summary
The Bloody Banquet left everyone marred, everyone irrevocably changed. He reminded himself it was something they all had to cope with; with the Scions slowly picking up the pieces and moving on with thir lives to (relative) success, fighting even when exhausted and never giving up when happiness was still somehow attainable.
However, only the Warrior of Light saw Alphinaud directly after the events that ranspired in Ul'Dah. Something he was infinitely thankful for, as any prying eyes to his unraveling would've made everything much more difficult. Just like with everything else, he hid it, dealing with the nightmares and jumping at shadows that were only there for him. The ringing in his ear reminding him that he couldn't relax, couldn't feel safe.
And how could he, when he caused this onto himself? It would be amiss of him to be angry at karmic justice being served, even if he was the recipient.

An AU interpretation of what happened at and after the Bloody Banquet where Alphinaud is left much more shattered than when he entered, and that healing from it wouldn't be as easy when hiding from the pain like a shadow.

Summary
Prompt 16: Deiform
“No.” The elezen spoke before she even processed the word, but once the floodgates opened, she couldn’t stop.
“No amount of threats or corruption will allow this reign of madness to continue. You ask us to conform to you, to become a rug under your foot to step on as if you are worth more than the bottom of garbage. I… I cannot describe how much I detest you. I detest what you stand for, what you’ve done to people in your quest for power and control, the monster I see before me is horrifying.” She looked at where Tesleen's sin eater had just previously stood.
“You are not a king, and you are certainly not a god. No matter how many emotionless husks you force into submission, that doesn’t make you anything other than a petulant child.”
