Summary
Four months out from Noct’s twentieth birthday and the crown is concerned. A Monarch cannot rule without adequate support and Prince Noctis is reluctant to accept it from anyone else. Ignis has an idea how to fix it, but he’s not sure Noct will ever forgive him.
“You can’t force me to like a stranger, Ignis,” Noct seethes, “You can’t just add them to my retinue like that.”
“If you liked them they wouldn’t be a stranger anymore,” Ignis says as patiently as he can. Ignis tries to reach for his hand but he jerks it away and when Gladio reaches for his shoulder Noct wheels his chair back so he’s out of reach.
“You need more than just us,” Gladio tells him.
“I don’t,” Noct responds.
Ignis sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, “Regardless. They’ll be here tomorrow.”
“Good for them,” Noct spits and he turns his wheelchair around and takes himself out of the room.Alternatively: Noctis refuses to make any other friends, so Ignis designs an online personality test to find him one. Prompto's score? 92/100.

“Don’t say you didn’t hate me. You despised me,” Prompto says, “It was so easy to tell.”
Noctis sighs, “Okay but I was young and stupid and you shouldn’t hold that against me.”
“It was like a week ago.”

Summary
Prompto rolled over, laying his feet across Gladio. “Yeah, but what if I get something like a worm? What if I'm a worm, Gladio?”
“You're not going to be a worm,” Gladio said. “Probably.”
“Probably,” Noctis agreed, still not looking up from his phone.

Everyone has an animal that reflects their innermost selves. Those who swear themselves into the King's military have the privilege of learning what that animal is, gaining abilities and skills related to it. Some are crows, facing the world with a cunning intelligence and wind under their wings; others are wolves, showing sharp loyalty and even sharper teeth; and others still are mice, quick and flighty and wonderful spies.
Prompto is a dragon, surprising everyone, including himself.

“Adrenaline is not your trigger.” He pressed a finger into Prompto's shoulder, which made him gasp at the pain. He looked at it and was surprised to see a dark bruise forming—fuck, he landed on his shoulder way harder than he thought he did. He was a little less sorry about kicking Alta now. “Pain isn't your trigger, either,” Cor continued. “Were you afraid today?”
“Um,” Prompto felt his heart seem to shake in his chest, “yes? I'm like, always afraid.”

Prompto just wants to graduate in one piece (and god forbid, maybe make a few friends), but life has a funny way of delivering the unexpected.
In which, a simple room-transfer changes his life entirely.

"Oh shit-" Noctis blurts, and starts running. Gladio goes zooming past him, kicking up sand as he chases Noctis down. Prompto giggles, and Ignis appears back at his side, towels in hand.
"He's fast," Prompto notes.
"He's dead," Ignis replies. Gladio does a running tackle off in the distance, and there's a feint scream as Noctis goes down in the sand.

His expression softens as he looks at Noct. “If there’s anything left in this world that could give you some sort of happiness, you should be grabbing onto it and holding it for dear life.”

Summary
Vampires are dangerous, feared monsters from Niflheim. Vampires are absolutely forbidden from entering Insomnia.
Prompto is like 80% sure that his friendship with Noctis is going to end up in someone finding out he is a vampire and dragging him into the dungeons for the rest of his miserable life. But hey, he can try.

Prompto was okay. He was great. His best friend was showing him cat memes about his vampirism. That was like, the ultimate act of acceptance. There was nothing that could peak the love carried by cat memes short of a marriage proposal. Prompto was going to scream.

Prompto has one dead-serious moment of utter done-ness, where he genuinely considers letting himself die, because what the hell.
But the guys would kill him if he died, so he has no choice. He has to fight.

Summary
The Niflheim Empire is experimenting on human-animal hybrids, trying to make the perfect soldier. When one of their experiments is stolen by Lucian soldiers, it's decided that the best thing to do would be to remove the non-human appendages and raise the child as a human. No-one thinks about the issues that this might cause.
Or: Prompto is a catboy, and it's such a big secret that even he doesn't know about it.

"I was thinking like some kind of training exercise, but like
It actually turns out to be something sinister."They told him it was a ‘practical exercise’, to test his loyalty to the Crown under pressure. Cor’s exact wording had been something more along the lines of gruff ‘hey you did the easy part, so. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but everything goes to hell in a handbasket from here on out.’
Prompto was pretty sure somewhere in there was the insinuation that he’d be fine. It was a practice after all.- Language:

He can’t explain it. He points – at the sky, at the sun. “I’ve never seen it before,” he says.
Cor turns back to look at it. Then he runs a hand over his face.
“Shit, kid,” he mutters. “You’re breaking my heart.”

Summary
They sleep pretty close together in the tent, yeah, but – that’s all four of them, and it's a tent; that's what you expect. It's not the same as sharing a bed with someone.
Sharing a bed, he's slowly realising, with Noct.

It happens again. Consistently. Whenever they’re sharing a bed, they go to normal sleep with a normal amount of space between them, and Prompto wakes up as the filling in a royal burrito.

Noctis has never given his soulmark much thought. There have always been more pressing issues on his mind. Even if he did find his soulmate, he never expected it would matter much, anyway.
He certainly never expected to find him now, here – an enemy soldier on the run.[Promptis Gift Exchange 2022]

Noct swallowed, hesitated. But it had to be asked. "What about you, you regret it? Me asking you to come, getting hauled along for this unfolding disaster?"
Prompto glanced up, eyes meeting Noct head on, unflinching. "Never. Not once."

Summary
Prompto could never recall much of the details of the day he was dropped into the hands of Stable Master Cid Sophiar. What he did remember from that day was the only rule Cid ever gave him in order to work by his side:
“Always take the knee, and never look up.”

Set in a world where the gods and magic are just stories, but the royal family is still revered for their supposed connection to the Astrals, Prompto thinks he is destined to live his life as a simple Stable Boy.Until he meets a stranger, and everything starts to change.

“I promise you’ll be safe,” Noct slowly spoke, as if he were strongly contemplating the words he chose to say.
“Hmm,” Prompto leaned an elbow on one knee and cupped his face, staring back. “That sounds a lot like my life might be in danger.”

Summary
Growing up, Prompto would never have dreamed of working in the fashion industry, or even living in the stunning Crown City in Insomnia. His adoptive parents introduced him to the different types of fabrics and color palettes; which was all it took for Prompto to fall in love with fashion. Prompto and his family had serviced many wealthy clients in Insomnia, but he never imagined Prince Noctis would stroll through the front door of his shop.

"Why do you think anyone would object to your presence?"
The short bark of laughter Prompto gave was so mirthless, it hurt to hear it. "Should I start alphabetically or by category?"

Summary
"What's the worst that could happen?"
Famous last words. A direct challenge to the universe, if there ever was one. One Prompto had winced at, even as Noct had oh-so-casually thrown down that metaphysical gauntlet at Fate's feet. Unfortunately, his best friend had proceeded the statement with, "Please? It'll be fun."
Or
Noctis and Prompto just wanted to have a little unsupervised fun. Unfortunately fate and unfriendly Insomnian denizens had other plans.

"Not for Noct. Punishment for himself. And worse, Prompto thinks he deserves it." Gladio interpreted the hmm as invitation to expound. "Because he should have done more."
He liked to think he knew Ignis well enough to read that pregnant pause as blatant confusion. "He took a bullet for his highness."

Bookmarker's Notes
It was funny, how Prompto was pretty much a regular guy. He wore regular clothes, and could have regular conversations, and lay around napping and playing card games with Noct like a regular barely-twenty slacker. Gladio would almost start to get fooled. Then he would open his mouth and something really fucking insane would come out.

Summary
He doesn't understand. He wants to go home. They pick him up and he fights again, twists and turns and kicks and squirms and breaks out of one of their hands, but then the biggest one yanks him so hard by the collar that he chokes, breathing hard through his nose to compensate for his blocked mouth.
“Let's put him in a locker,” says the biggest one, and Prompto nearly passes out.
For the FFXV kink meme.

“You don't have to hide from me,” he whispers, quietly so Ignis and Gladio don't overhear. “You're never a burden.”
