Summary
"I don't want to die," Faust whispers to the empty air. The realization is starting to weigh on him. He's going to die here, whether it takes one hour or twelve. He's never going to leave this collapsed building, this Possessed. Every breath that he takes in, every second that his heart still beats, is borrowed.
Or: Faust doesn't die immediately. After the battle, he dies slowly, in the company of a single Possessed. He takes the time to regret, to hope, and to reflect.

Summary
The Hunter manifested a ring into his palm, but nonetheless pretended to have fetched it out of his inner coat pocket.
"Do you know what this is?" he said with a thin smile, "It is an engagement ring."
(Rapturous obsession blooms under unfortunate circumstances. Three inhabitants slumber in a gentle dream: an ascended Hunter, a porcelain Doll, and a Great One.)

Summary
In the alleys of war-torn Nevassa, the Occupational Army hunts down what remains of Daein's pride: her nobles, her soldiers, her loyalists. For Leonardo, the son of one of the military's noble families, daring to live is a death sentence—until Edward, a common-born swordsman, saves him from capture. Though pride crumbles easily, and the past eternally haunts the present, hope is always beyond the horizon, and the future is ever changing.
“So let’s stick together, you and me. Whaddya say?”
It was almost poetic:
“...If you’ll have me.”
Two boys, their bloody, joined hands, and a dawn.

Summary
Never, in all his Spirals, had the Drifter ever found Humor. Maybe the Orokin author of his favorite "Tales of Duviri" storybook simply didn't appreciate the art of a good joke. Maybe he was, as Teshin often said with that wry smile, merely a sarcastic little shit.
For the first time in centuries, he smiled so broadly his cheeks hurt.
Maybe some of Mathila's mad happiness was rubbing off on him after all, because despite dying day after day in futile attempts to leave, now that he finally could, he wanted to stay and make his make-believe kingdom a better place.

Foolishly, they give him a chance.
Someone should, if only to say that someone had. If only so the world could then say: at least someone has made every attempt and tried every thing to temper kindness into this loathsome creation and has proven still it was impossible.

When he left that Allagan derelict, only Paulecrain followed.
Grinnaux knows that returning to Ishgard was no longer possible. Not while the Warrior of Light was still crowned its champion; not while the Lord Commander and his second-in-command knew who they were; not even while his own family mourned his death in the Pillars.

It had not been so many moons since Guydelot had last found himself charging recklessly to rescue Sanson, but unlike those moons ago, Guydelot had no leverage here; no assurance that Sanson would remain unharmed, even for a little time. There were no bargaining chips for soldiers on the battlefield.
Sanson goes missing in the Ghimlyt Dark.

When faced with punishment rather than censure, he had been relieved. He had been less relieved when the vote unanimously agreed that the punishment ought to be decided by the slighted party.
So it was that Lahabrea himself had decided their punishment.

Summary
Each holds the highest office in their respective place, one at the Bureau of the Architect, the other in the vast greenery of Elpis. And though their work does in some ways align, one might still be surprised to hear one call the other a friend.
A tale of a time long passed, set even further than the mind's eye reaches. No titles reign here, save what may have already been given.
(Contains spoilers for MSQ86 of Endwalker/the characters and locations that appear in the 5th area.)

Summary
Zephirin doesn't understand Charibert. The man doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve like many of the other knights, which makes the transition from peers of equal standing to commander and subordinate difficult. But a commander must needs look out for his knights, even when a raid on a heretic stronghold turns into his personal nightmare.
"Whatever happened here?"
"Contaminated blood, most likely." Charibert was the least affected, but even he wore an expression of disgust. "Happens often enough; dragon blood keeps for a long time, but not well. An adult body can fight off the infection, but a child…" His boot bumped into a glass vial and his expression darkened further after he bent down to pick it up. He held the vial up, tilted it to examine the blood traces at the light of the torches."The dosage is all wrong. They must have measured at great haste, if at all." He let the vial drop, eyes flashing with brief satisfaction when it shattered on the stone. "I would reckon they cared not that their children would likely die agonizing, inhumane deaths if it meant that we could not take them back to Ishgard."Bookmarked by azureforest

Summary
It’s the sheer gaudiness of the flier that catches Aymeric’s attention, at first.
DRAGONSONG, it reads, the title of the band nigh incomprehensible with the lack of kerning, each syllable tangled tight together in such a way that the entire thing seems to resemble a snarl of tree roots.
The dragon is what really piques his interest. Below the labyrinthine lettering, a great wyrm spreads its wings, poised to spew fire on the dragoon below it. It’s not the most artful rendition of a drake Aymeric has ever laid eyes on, bearing an odd resemblance to a muscular skink moreso than a noble creature of myth, but it’s… passable.

If you were to wander about the streets of the Holy See, there is a distinct possibility that you may sight in passing the youngest son of House Dzemael and the savior of Ishgard, engaged in animated discussion.
If you were to look closer, you may be lucky enough to notice the distinct fondness of their locked gazes as they speak.

Summary
The catch in Thancred’s chest settles into a deep ache as it hits him that this is the first time he’s celebrated Starlight since arriving in the First. It’s not that he’s avoided it, really, it’s just that he’s always been busy with one thing or another, and usually by the time he thinks of Starlight, any occasion for celebrating has long passed.
He also hasn’t had anyone to celebrate it with.
