Summary
The grass under his feet grows tall and vibrant, vines erupting from the earth and cascading into bloom. It does not touch him but instead radiates out, transforming the cave into something wild and splendid that leaves ashes in his mouth.
The elder matriarch lets the last word fall from her lips-
“Drankur.”
Male.

Summary
Thancred and Lyria are very good at fighting primals, but have a lot to learn about navigating a blossoming relationship. They finally admit their feelings for one another and stumble their way to a first date.
While she wasn't as naive as her fellow Scions seemed to think, she was increasingly aware that her feelings for Thancred were deeper than she’d let herself admit. And she had serious doubts about her ability to handle any of it.
Logically she knew it was foolish to think a notorious ladies man would jump into a committed relationship. Hells, if one was talking ‘logically’ she knew she was a damned fool to think herself equipped to handle anything real - she'd not had a relationship longer than a few nights in almost a decade.
Most un-logically, she couldn’t stop thinking about him.

Summary
Detailing the specific events in my Warrior of Light's life that lead to her being stranded in Eorzea, 5 years before the start of A Realm Reborn. Hopefully an ongoing retelling of key events from her perspective throughout FFXIV's spectacular story. All she wants to do is go home to Tural, and if joining the Scions will make that happen, then so be it. After all, it's just a few jobs, right?

Summary
My friend, the fates are cruel.
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess.
~
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess.
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end.
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely.

Summary
NOTE: This is my first chapter story posted to Ao3, and I've run into issues of the chapters deleting themselves. Sorry for the disorder as I try to fix it!
Serina had never learned to accept the horrors of her past, but when faced with the reality that people were eventually going to find out about her, it still takes major life events for her to face those defining events and accept the promise of her future. But how do you tell your friends that it wasn't the Blessing of Light, but the draconic blood you drank flowing in your veins that turned you into their vaunted hero? Yet with each defining moment, time continues to move ever forward, and with each of those moments, a bit more of Serina is exposed to the ones she trusts and loves.
