    Summary

    “Why is it,” Barbatos mused, his voice so soft that Xiao nearly mistook it for the hush of wind, “that the heavens mark their most captive children with the element of freedom?”

    Summary

    “Do you—” Dain felt the words slip, quietly, almost lost within the quiet itself. “Do you resent me?”

    The room held the question like it held the night. It trembled in the air, gossamer thin and interminable, blue-white.

    Summary

    Kazuha’s journey is interrupted by an impossible reunion, leading him and Xiao across wind-swept skies, childhood memories, and a night where the boundaries between longing and belonging dissolve with the tide.

    A sequel to Turning in the Wind, where Kazuha and Xiao find and learn each other in memories, in surrender and intimacy.

    Summary

    For the millionth time, he tried to decipher the enigma that was Diluc Ragnvindr; the man whom he knew best, the man who knew him best, and yet the one man he could not understand. A long time ago, the end of his gaze reached unobstructed into the naked fire of his heart. It thrilled him to know that when he looked, he was allowed to see. See all of him to the marrow of his bones and the haphazard pile of his innocent dreams. Somewhere along the way, those fiery eyes as red as the Vision Kaeya used to carry with him wherever he went had become impenetrable walls, and he had to learn to read him in a million other ways. Find meaning in his reigned expressions and chronic avoidance, the length in his silences, the stray looks, his orphaned gestures of kindness.

    Sometimes, he felt exhausted with it all.

    Summary

    Long after he leapt from the mountainside and disappeared in the hazy mist of clouds, Xiao pondered his farewell. He stared at the pearl in his hand, its coral-pink surface speckled with starsilver shine, and wished he could have also been something gentle and beautiful like it, despite the darkness it was born in.
    Something that didn’t have to look away from the warmth in Kaedehara Kazuha’s ember-light eyes.

    Someone who didn’t withdraw his hand from his touch.

    Someone who deserved the word ‘kind’.

    Summary

    “I should have kissed you,” Noctis whispers to him. “when you took me out on a ride to the Cavaugh Lookout the night we slipped out of Insomnia on my birthday.” Ignis shivers with the sharp jolt of memory, so vivid he can see the lights of the Crown City in the distance, can almost feel Noctis’ fingers tangled with his own for the first time, something that meant more than either could admit…

    Prompt is from my Et Nos Vivet fic, requested by twoluciankings and tinykendra.

    Summary

    “Dad used to say a shield of thorns can protect no one,” Iris mutters. “After everything you have been through together, I thought you understood what that meant.”

    Summary

    I was meant to die, he tells him.

    By whose will, he asks, pained, fierce, indignant. You have every right to live, Noctis. None of this should have ever been your burden.

    This. This had been what had saved his life. The Astrals had never had a chance against Ignis Scientia.

    Summary

    Sometimes I can’t sort out everything I have seen in the Crystal, he admits one night. Ignis looks up from his empty cup, eyes betraying almost nothing of the surprise he feels at hearing Noctis bringing it up.

    Would it help to talk about it, he asks cautious and kind. Noctis knows his question does not have an ounce of selfish curiosity because Ignis Scientia will never breach a line, no matter how vague it has become in nearly three decades of shared life.

    Summary

    Lukas’ hand tightens around his on his chest. Philip looks up to see him staring at the ceiling. I’m glad you don’t have one, Lukas says as light ascends slowly between timber beams.

    I don’t have what, Philip returns, watching the way Lukas sighs and his Adam’s apple moves beneath his skin.

    Lukas flattens his hand over Philip’s, pressing them both lightly down on his chest. A scar.

    Summary

    Lukas, he whispers to him. Lukas hums in response and Philip feels it reverberate through his own chest more than he hears it. His arms tighten around him.
    Does it feel different to you too?
    ...
    I almost lost you, Lukas tells him, dark eyes heavy on his. Philip cups his face in his hands, strains forward to kiss him soft like the night keeping them hidden.

    Summary

    When they reach the shore of the lake they always come to when either of them need to get away, Lukas tightens his hold on Philip’s hand and pulls him snug to his side, an arm winding around his waist. Philip feels his nose brush against his hair and nuzzle behind his ear before his voice finds him, as quiet as Tivoli itself. Are you sure, Lukas asks him.

    Summary

    It’s the way when he thinks he wants to kiss him, it’s Philip that closes that one inch between their faces. His eyelashes brush against his cheeks and Lukas barely sighs into the quiet of it. Philip moves so slowly, he is a vision woven with threads of silver, ethereal and more beautiful than anything Lukas has ever seen.

    Summary

    Philip feels his chest expand and his heart press against his ribcage with an ache. He holds onto Lukas' hands on his face, gazes into his eyes bluer than the sky in Tivoli summers, that sunlight spun golden hair, his lips still red from kissing him; he gazes at the whole breath robbing beauty of him and whispers three words he didn’t believe he could ever say to him.

    “Happy anniversary, Lukas.”

    Summary

    Philip does this thing when they slowly pull away after a kiss, and Lukas always tries to open his eyes in time to catch it while Philip’s are still closed. His head follows the pull of his lips like he is tranced, adam’s apple moving beneath pale skin as he swallows the last traces of him before his eyes flutter open, lashes so impossibly long Lukas sometimes thinks he must have dreamed him to life. He watches him, watches the way everything Philip feels blaze alight in the dark of his eyes and emotion twists wildly in his heart; love in such vastness he feels he is submerged two miles deep in the trenches of the Atlantic.

    Summary

    Specks of dust swirl in the gold of sunlight pooling through the break in his curtains. Philip watches their listless dance, listening to the hum of silence. It was a game he used to play with his mother. Day stars she used to say, smiling like she could see the universe painted across blenched wallpapers. It hadn't occurred to Philip yet, she probably was. They'd chase constellations in the lazy descent of things shriveled and dead. It was one of the first pictures he had taken.

    A pale hand rises beside him, pointing towards the cavalcade of dust drowning in light. Looks like stardust, Lukas says.

    Philip closes his eyes.
