Summary
"He’d been tossing and turning all night, too hot and then shivering cold on a constant loop, and now he can feel the tiredness already pulling at his stinging eyes. He runs a hand down his face, heated cheeks clear to even his own touch.
Shit.
Of course he would choose the day of his dad’s annual holiday address to get sick."
Or, in which Noctis is sick and tries to convince himself and everyone else that he’s not.

Summary
“He stood there for a moment, teeth gritted and chest heaving, but otherwise unmoving. So tense he could snap at any moment.
No one dared to move – they all understood what this was. A rare ailment, fundamentally similar to confusion but so very different at the same time. Instead of muddled thoughts and jumbled senses, it gave the afflicted something else – something deeply primal, animalistic.
Pure, unfiltered, rage.”
Noctis is inflicted with rage during a fight. It's as lethal as it sounds.

Summary
“He suddenly can't breathe. Ghosts don't breathe, not really, but he can't breathe. His lungs ache and burn and the feeling makes a shaking hand fly to his chest, tangling itself in the material of his jumper that suddenly feels like needles stabbing into his skin. He hears a choking sound echo throughout the room, the ever-present background ambience of Hell. Of Hell.”
Edwin has a panic attack. Charles is there.

Summary
“Noctis couldn’t stop the forced inhale that sent whatever chemical the cloth was soaked in into his lungs, and he suddenly felt his strength fading, his kicks weakening, his eyes drooping.
The last thing he saw before the world turned dark was the sight of his friends suffering the same fate.”When a hunt goes wrong, the boys are taken captive with no clue as to why. However, one thing is for sure - their captors are very, very interested in one Crown Prince of Lucis. And they will stop at nothing to get whatever it is they want.

Summary
"The charred, burnt sort of smell was the first thing he noticed. Then, an ache that seemed to stretch across his whole body, a net of pain from head to toe. A ringing in his ears, not quite masking the sound of his rushing blood. And a sea of blackness in front of his eyes, continuing on forever and ceasing instantly at the same time."
Noctis wakes up on the ground, in pain and bleeding, his memory of what exactly led to the situation fuzzy at best. Thankfully, his friends are there with him, unharmed.
Everything is fine. Absolutely fine.

Summary
“One of the rules of the Lucian outdoors was to never let your guard down. Even during the night. Especially during the night, when a daemon could be hiding in every shadow, ready to pounce.”
After a daemon attack leaves Prompto, Ignis and Gladio severely wounded and on the verge of death, Noctis has to fight exhaustion and injuries of his own in a bid to save their lives.

Summary
It’s raining, cold and the boys are fighting a losing battle against a pissed-off behemoth – in other words, a less-than-ideal situation. Noctis takes a chance and throws a Blizzaga. Things go downhill from there.
(or, Noctis and hypothermia)

Summary
As usual, Ignis had a long list of tasks he had to complete, some of which included taking care of some paperwork, sitting in on a few meetings, and accompanying Noctis to the opening of the museum exhibition dedicated to his family's honour.
Taking a bullet meant for the prince was not on his list.

Summary
Noctis is feeling particularly alone during what is usually a time of festive celebration in Insomnia- royal duties, responsibilities and some recent tension with his father aren't helping matters. Luckily, he has three friends who care a whole lot about him.
That might just be all he needs, in the end.

Summary
“The men slowly crept towards him, like predators finally catching up to their prey. The one with the glasses had his hands up, taking slow steps towards him. Noctis was still filled with the overwhelming desire to run, but something was... familiar. Did he know this man?”
———
When Noctis is attacked and loses his memory in the process, he’s left completely vulnerable and terrified of the world around him. It’s up to his friends to support him through his recovery, while also keeping him safe from the dangers lurking in the shadows.
