Summary
It's all he can do to not inhale again, deeply; to fight the sudden urge to lean close and press his nose to the delicate slope of her neck, his lips to the hollow of her throat between the pale ridges of her scales, and spend bells like that, just breathing her in. His mouth practically waters, he's so—
“Hungry?” he asks, a little faintly. Get ahold of yourself, G'raha Tia.

Summary
"I don't know what words the future will use to speak of me - at the moment it feels they would be rather harsh truth be told. But I can give you these words, meant for you when all was said and done with the Crystal Tower. I don't know what of the special places you once knew will still exist. But I can preserve and share my special places with you, as I had planned to give when my words were spent. And I can but hope that, when you find the weight of heroism too heavy to bear even with your strength, you can rest in a place where the wind blows through Gridanian boughs and remember there once was a fool who loved you."
"With All My Heart and Soul, Yhuven."
Current Chapter - "Home - Gridania, Final": Life at the edge of the North Shroud has been peaceful for the Hearers and sylph looking for a quiet retreat to settle down in. When a young, awkward Bard wanders into their garden, however, he changes their lives in ways they never knew they needed.

Summary
Her thumb gently strokes the backs of his knuckles; he feels the warmth of it unfurling down the length of his spine, slow and sweet as golden honey.
"Anything for you," he says, too honest for his own good.

Summary
As he took a seat, G’raha checked the chronometer on the wall. He had arrived a bit earlier than he expected her to be home, although she wasn’t expecting him. He was hoping to surprise her with a long weekend away from Old Sharlayan. At best, he had about half a bell with time to while away.
Alone in the Warrior of Light's house, G'raha finds a volume of a favorite book of his that happens to hold a very flattering portrait within its pages. With time to spare and memories abound, he reviews the image and follows where his mind takes him.

Summary
In long-ago Ivalice, the Ascians worked as one for the last time. Primals of great power - the Espers - were summoned, defeated, and gifted to mortals in order to force a Rejoining. However, after the failure of the project, the Espers were sealed away and the plan abandoned.
Chel Tholdaz wanted a quiet life after the Scions returned to the Source, and for five years, she got her wish. However, flickering nightmares and burning talismans from the past lead her from the depths of the Tempest to the sand-blasted land of Dalmasca in order to silence the Espers' whispers once and for all.

Summary
“So you're the Exarch.”
G’raha nodded slowly, then at a faster pace when Krile ushered him on. “Yes.”
He tried not to flinch as the elezen looked him up and down. Then, with a shrug, Estinien took another bite. “I thought you'd be taller.”
G’raha had a century to ponder what Ishgard’s last hero would look like, extrapolating from stories and one picture he found of the statue. For better or worse, he doubts he would've come up with the man in front of him, eating noodles with his fingers.
“Th- Thank you?”

Summary
For a long time, Tessa Elminus—the so-called Warrior of Light—has been drifting, never quite able to find the happiness that she has been searching for. Every time she comes close, fate conspires to steal it away from her, separating her from friends and lovers alike before she even realises it. Still, occasionally she gets the opportunity to seize her future with her own hands—and although she's never managed to do so before, taking that first step might be all that's needed for her to find joy.
