Summary
Ten years is a long time. An infinite amount of moments that were once unimpressive are now worth more than gold. Politics are fickle. Matters of the heart? Even more fickle.
___
Moments from the "All that's best of dark and bright" universe that don't exactly have a place in the main story but I still want to post.

Summary
It was part of the bro code. Noctis would've assumed Prompto had learned the lesson, by proxy, when Noctis successfully ruined his working relationship with a fellow employee at the coffee shop he worked at. From then on, Prompto and Noctis decided they were absolutely not, by any means of the imagination, allowed to date a coworker.

Summary
In an attempt to mend his friendship with Yennefer, Geralt is tasked to help her find a mysterious artifact called an 'Eluvian'. With Jaskier right on his heel, the two wander in search of an ancient elven temple, which Yennefer suspects to hold her mystery item. Naturally, the bard's curiosity lands them in hot water as they find out an Eluvian is not all that it appears to be.
Cue Grey Warden Neria Surana and her ragtag group of misfits. While visiting the Ferelden Circle at Lake Calenhad, her group crosses paths with Geralt and Jaskier as they tumble out of the Eluvian. While wary at first, Neria and friends are willing to help the bard and his Witcher return to their own land.

This is the most self-indulgent thing I've ever written in my life. This is also my first fic in this fandom for this pairing since I've only seen the Netflix Witcher show. I just thought it would be super cool to write a Witcher cross over with the Dragon Age universe. I've come across other crossover fics, and I just love the idea.

Summary
Noctis heard rumors from people at school. Supposedly, once you fell in love you saw the world in a whole different light. He never put much thought into such rumors, until he met Prompto Argentum. Prompto, who was gregarious and mercurial, changed his world. Ever since the death of his mother, Noctis couldn't bring himself to play the piano. But when Prompto entered his life, the violinist dragged him back into the world of music. However, there was only one problem.
Prompto liked Gladio.

Summary
Prompto doesn’t need the chancellor’s crooked finger to prompt his lines. “Until the day a peace treaty is signed, I intend to remain in Insomnia, if Your Majesty is willing to host me.”
There is a long, considering silence. “We will speak plainly,” the king says. “You would surrender yourself as hostage to Lucis against further Niflheim aggression?”
The chancellor smiles before turning back to the king, and there is little Prompto can do to calm his racing heart. “It will be an easy thing, should Your Majesty hold fast to your honor.”

Or: When the Prince of Niflheim surrenders himself as a political hostage, Noctis’s curiosity turns into something unexpected.

Bookmarker's Notes
another pairing i stumbled across. a beautifully written fic with some of the best characterizations of the normandy crew i’ve come across. the world felt so alive and i couldn’t help but devour this fic over the course of a day and, against my better judgement, stay up well past my bedtime on a work night to finish this. truly a gem.

Summary
The band has an ambitious idea for their next project, but they'll have to get it past their manager first.
"Now, have a seat, my boys, and make yourselves at home. Can I offer you some absinthe?”
Ignis moved aside a gold-colored violin and a stack of wigs to sit on the couch. “It's nine o'clock in the morning.”
Ardyn tossed the handkerchief aside. The hair stayed purple; it was just like that. “Absinthe in half a grapefruit, then.”
