Summary
Sometimes Prompto’s a coward, not wanting to go back to the place where he—where they—lost Noctis.
No. They didn’t lose him. Noctis chose to go, and they—he—stayed behind to defend the way while Noctis ascended.

Summary
Find the True King before he passes through my gate, and bring him back into the sunlight. The trial ends only when the seeker chooses to abandon the hunt or to step through my gate.
“Penalties?”
A portion of what you wish to find, says Etro, and the words are a knife pressed against Ignis’s throat. Death cannot befall a seeker. Every intervention will cost memories of the King of Light.
Gladio’s voice comes dangerously close to a growl. “Until we no longer remember who we went down there for?”
Orpheus and Eurydice + Chess with Death. Ignis descends into Pitioss to retrieve Noctis’s soul after the Dawn.

Summary
If someone tried to kill Noctis when he was a kid, there’s no reason people aren’t still trying. Prompto wants to stay in Noct’s orbit even after high school, and he decides the best way to do that is to start prepping for the Crownsguard entrance exam. If he can get into the Crownsguard, he’ll be able to do something if things go sideways when he’s out with Noct.
After an attempt on Noctis results in civilian casualties, neither Prompto nor Noctis are prepared for the political backlash. And when Noctis discovers that Prompto has Crownsguard ambitions, he wrestles with his desire to protect his best friend (and crush) and the reality that Prompto wants to put himself in danger for his sake.

Summary
They carry Noctis out of Insomnia on a stretcher made from long abandoned polearms, scavenged rope, and Ignis and Prompto’s Kingsglaive jackets. Gladio’s is draped over Noct’s body to give him what dignity they can. The Sword of the Father is beneath, positioned over, not through, Noct’s chest.
The sunlight is far warmer than Ignis remembered, but in the aching aftermath of Noctis’s sacrifice, it seems like such a paltry reward.

Summary
She is left alone on the stage with the chancellor, her hands still pressed against his face. He puts his hands on her arms and says something in a language she doesn’t know, then another that sounds vaguely familiar, and finally in slightly accented Standard, “Oh, well, now, that’s unexpected.”
One small misstep, and Lunafreya Nox Fleuret has just changed the fate of the world.

Summary
Ardyn hates her because he is anathema to everything she is and everything he once was. She is the sacred, he is the profane. She heals, he destroys. She speaks for the gods, he rails against them. Perhaps there is nothing they could ever be to each other but this.
Ardyn returns to the Citadel in solitary triumph to await the ascension of the Chosen King -- and every few years, he receives an unexpected visitor.

Summary
Prompto closes his eyes and breathes, dashing angrily at the tears that no amount of blinking will keep from falling. “I think his tomb shouldn’t only be about how he died. It should be about how he lived, too.”
Prompto wants to make sure Noctis's tomb isn't just fit for a king -- but for his best friend, too.

Summary
So Noctis gets it. He doesn’t understand it, but he comprehends it. He gets that it’s context, that it’s verbal and non-verbal cues, that it’s body posture and facial expressions and eye contact.
For example: Ignis interprets direct eye contact as an intensifier for moods and modals.
If Noctis says, “It would be nice if someone opened the door,” without making or maintaining eye contact, Ignis seems to hear, The door being opened would be nice, but it’s not a necessity under any present circumstances.
If Noctis says the same words, in the same tone—“It would be nice if someone opened the door”—while making or maintaining eye contact, Ignis seems to hear, The door should be opened, and opening it should be made an appropriate priority.
---
For a FFXV Kink Meme prompt in which Ignis is an AI implanted into a human body, and he has been programmed to be utterly incapable of refusing an order from certain people. Noct thinks it's just him and is careful with how he phrases things around Ignis.
Expect lots of hurt, not much comfort, and a frankly ridiculous amount of rhetorical analysis, especially around grammar. Also, Noctis and Ignis may be a little codependent.

Summary
"Viktor thought he knew the comprehensive list of all his nonworking parts: the leg, of course, but also the childhood rickets, his lungs, his spine, the calcium deficiency that left his teeth stained slightly more yellow than topsiders’, whatever made him… bendier than the average person, and not always in a good way.
Evidently, topside is intent on adding more to that list.
It does not matter. When he is the only one in the lecture hall who can answer the professor’s question - a leading one that she said they will know by the end of the semester - as a self-taught trencher, he relaxes. He even smiles.
There is only the work."
AKA
Snapshots of Viktor's time at the Academy. There are quite a few necessary adjustments he must make.

The Academy-era Viktor fic I wanted to see in the world.
