Summary
Struggling with recovered memories of Azem brought on by his journey to the past, Evi'a visits Elpis in his dreams in a bid for closure--and meets someone he never thought he would see again. And then another someone. So much for that easy retirement. Endwalker spoilers!
Chapter 29: Heartbreak--In which Zotikos finds himself at a very awkward teatime with Hythlodaeus' parents, where he learns a few details about his Soulseer's past that sheds a troubling light on their current difficulties.
Chapter 30: To Weave Our Lives Together--Hythlodaeus and Zotikos have one of the most important conversations they will ever have. NSFW!

Summary
When Evi'a moves to his family's old countryside home to escape the recent sorrows in his life, he finds himself contending with an unexpected phantasmal guest who also claims rights to the house, and appears to have been awaiting his arrival. Semi-modern haunted manor AU!
The first few chapters will be reposts of the chapters I wrote for FFXIVWrite 2022. For anyone who's already read those, the new material will begin with fourth chapter!
Chapter 5: The Path Forward--With the truth of their mutual past and terrible parting out in the open, Evi'a attempts to reach out to Hades--the erstwhile bondmate who accidentally destroyed their family more than two centuries prior.
Chapter 6: Autumn--Weeks pass as Evi'a searches in vain for the tome that will open the gateway--until an exchange of confidences with Hades leads to an unexpected breakthrough on All Saint's Wake.

Summary
This will be my collected works for FFXIV Write 2022...let's see how far I get with it this year! The first chapter is a table of contents, where I will list prompt, rating, pairings, etc. so it's easy for the reader to choose what they are interested in. Main pairings are likely to be WoL/G'raha, WoL/Hyth/Hades, Azem/Hyth/Hades, WoL/OC, and any combination thereof. Probably a few others will make it in there eventually!
Most recent chapters:
29. "Fuse"--Azem/Hades? T--The bloodstains upon the floor have a story to tell. A continuation of the previous prompt.
30. "Sojourn"--Azem/Hades? T--Evi'a and Emet-Selch speak to one another in earnest for the first time, and attempt to clear up the misunderstandings between them. Ongoing haunted manor AU.

Summary
This will be a collection of oneshots (unless otherwise noted) set after my XiaoVenLumi fic "Untethered"--not necessarily in chronological order. They will make more sense if you've read Untethered, but can probably be read alone as well. I'll set the first chapter as a table of contents where the rating/summary/relationships can be easily found.
Chapter 4: The Room-XiaoVenLumi, varied POV, rated T--As wraith hunting ramps up ahead of Lantern Rite and the burden begins to weigh heavily upon Xiao, his bondmates approach him with a few gentle suggestions to ease his suffering.
Chapter 5: Of Windsongs and an Unsullied Apple-XiaoVenLumi, Dvalin & Venti, Venti POV, rated T--When the combined effects of abyssal poison, erosion, and inevitable fate result in a less-than-perfect day, Venti finds unexpected comfort in the reaffirmation of an old friendship.

Summary
With the death of Morax, Xiao is as one untethered for the first time in his long life, and he finds himself at odds with his newfound freedom, unsure of how to reach out or indeed, how to be reached by those who hold out their hands to him.
A Xiao character exploration and growth fic, mostly centered around his developing relationship with Lumine, but Venti has a larger part to play than is first evident, and Morax is ever watching from afar.

Summary
This is my collection of short fics for prompts from FFXIV Write 2021. There are a lot of prompts, and I don't expect to do them all, but we'll see how many I manage! Chapter 1 will be a table of contents with pairing/characters, summary, and ratings.
Recently posted:
5. Avatar (Rated T) (WoL/G'raha shards)--G'raha Tia's shard on the Fourth is out for a walk beneath the canopy of the forest that he is slowly becoming when he gathers that his beloved has returned from abroad. (featuring bun!Evi'a!)
6. Adroit (Rated E) (WoL/G'raha)--Evi'a offers G'raha an archery challenge with a bit of a twist.

Summary
On the occasion of his name day, Xiao reflects on the recent changes in his life, and resolves to do something for the two dear souls who have reminded him how to live. And then they show up unexpectedly, meaning to celebrate his birth together.
A Xiao birthday fic, pure fluff and happiness--this boy deserves all the love. Tied to my "Untethered" fic, but this can easily be read as a standalone.
Rated M for slightly suggestive themes just in case.

Summary
The Warrior of Light has done the Source a tremendous amount of good, but he is only one man, and perhaps over the course of his journey a very important cause may have passed by unnoticed. Bound to the Crystal Tower, the Exarch has suffered and toiled for more than a hundred years to see his dearest inspiration safe, to save two worlds. Yet...what is his faith built upon if his inspiration was never there in the first place? And what is the Crystal Tower, that the Allags should have no record of its completion, that the people of the First should have no memory of its arrival?
This is the story of my miqo'te Warrior of Light Evi'a Llyrhai's time on the First. This will loosely follow Shadowbringers, but there will be a number of divergences from the main plot that will likely increase as the story goes on.

Summary
1: Ornaments: G'raha Tia and Evi'a get ready for their first Starlight on the Source, and each ornament has a tale to tell.
2: Starlit: The annual Starlight festivities in Gridania bring G'raha heartwarming reassurances that he didn't quite realize he was seeking. The occasion also grants him the courage to ask for something he's wanted dearly for quite some time.
3: Ribbon: In which G'raha and Evi'a put some leftover holiday trappings to good use and count their blessings at Heavensturn. NSFW!
5.4 and Starlight Celebration spoilers! Wanted to write some self-indulgent, loosely connected one-shots for Starlight and Heavensturn, so I'll put them here when I do.

Summary
G'raha Tia finds himself at a sudden and unexpected crossroads that will profoundly affect the rest of his life.
5.3 spoilers ahoy! I set out to write the missing scene fluff for my boy, but G'raha Tia muse demanded to speak for himself in this fundamental juncture of his own story.
Edit: I've decided to expand on this to include all of the missing scene and a little after. The first chapter remains G rated, but the rest of the story is likely to be M-rated. If it does get explicit I'll note that in the chapter title.

Summary
After a fight with a primal goes terribly wrong, Evi'a Llyrhai decides to take a break from his adventuring life to study and quietly re-center himself at the Great Gubal Library. He is soon distracted however by one of the resident librarians, who unknowingly demonstrates for him how multifaceted and beautiful a single soul can be.
Notes: The first three chapters of this are reposts from where this AU began in my "Refractions" collection. The fourth chapter is new. Also, when I was writing the initial prompt chapters I was thinking of writing this G'raha as trans, and now that this is getting its own fic I've decided that I will.

Summary
This will be a collection of responses to prompts for FFXIV Write 2020. See table of contents for summaries, characters, ratings, etc. Details will also be included in chapter titles and summaries! Most recent two chapters:

Summary
A brief look at J'bhen Tia and Astin's life together, from the day they met as street children in Ul'dah to the expansion of their relationship as they grow up, to the struggle imposed upon them in the aftermath of the calamity, and finally what becomes of them in the wake of the seventh celebration of The Rising.
Edit: Feel I should note here that Chapter 5 "Clinch" of my FFXIV Write fic "Refractions of a Greater Truth" is a direct sequel to this fic.

Summary
You sit on a large green and white leaf-printed beach blanket on the warm sands of Costa Del Sol, hands clasped in your lap and face locked in an expression of concerned bemusement as you watch your two favorite miqo’te tiptoe, jump, and clamber their way up the precarious Moonfire Faire tower.
This was supposed to be a vacation, but so far it has proven anything but relaxing...
A follow up story to "Two of Them", in which WoL, G'raha, and the Exarch have their first real chance to spend some time together.

Summary
150 years after the Source is rendered barren by the Flood, the survivors and their descendants struggle to carry on with their lives in a series of space colonies orbiting their doomed star, ever dogged by the Lightwardens and sin eaters that mysteriously appeared in the aftermath of the calamity. The fight has been long, many colonies sunk or rendered unlivable...but today is the day that the war will end. In Lakeland, the A.I. Exarch System stands poised and ready on the stage deck of Syrcus Tower 2 to sing his Variable Fighters to victory--especially his beloved Warrior of Light--even as he prepares for a new, hidden endeavor, his role in the struggle far more valuable than anyone realizes. Meanwhile, in his gilded city atop the crumbling ruins of Belah'dia Ascended, God Emperor Vauthry schemes toward his own goals of colonial dominance, waiting for the moment Exarch caves beneath the weight of his many burdens.
A merging of FFXIV and Macross, also drawing on Gundam and Pacific Rim. I will be playing in the ShB sandbox, but this is far from a retelling. There will be robots, there will be jets and singing and drama! And hopefully an interesting new take on the character of our beloved Crystal Exarch.
