    Summary

    “If you’re still feeling stiff, I could... help? Maybe?”

    “You mean—” She flicked her attention to those fidgeting hands. “—like what you did in the other room?”

    “Only if you’d like to.”

    “If it’s you?” Warmth radiated in both her lips and eyes. “I’d love to.”

    After a long night in Kalm, Tifa and Aerith help each other unwind.

    Summary

    Jote would never abandon her duty, could never imagine sullying the nigh-sacred bond between them with her own shameful desires. She was the Phoenix’s Attendant, and she would embody that title with the whole of her being, if only to protect what they had.

    Ultima could not suffer such a bond to survive.
    Joshua would not see her bound by it, either.

    As Valisthea falls around them, Jote learns there is more to her life -- and to her bond with Joshua -- than duty alone.

    (A smutty Jote POV canon semi-rewrite giving her the character development she sorely needed. Covers pre-timeskip to game ending.)

    "Do you intend to make a ruin of me, my lord Rosfield?"

    "Yes." He answers. "I would. But only if you'd allow it."

    how could she refuse?

    Summary

    This work began as an answer to the questions: what would actually prompt a Viera to leave their woods behind and venture into the wider world? Especially if they truly believe in the Green Word and everything it stands for? What is it like, to be a Viera? What is it like, to be blessed and cursed with power, chosen by Hydaelyn, forced to leave your home behind?

    Join me on this deep dive into Viera lore and culture as I imagine it, and the twists and turns it takes the author on. The journey starts with Aruna, a kit just at the cusp of presenting and discovering their gender, and many stories are told to me by them and those around them. Stories of the past, stories of the present, stories of the people.

    Hearken, Viera, to Word of the Green
    From Mountains to Jungles and all in between
    By grace of the Woods we are living today
    By grace of the Woods, in the Woods we shall stay

    Summary

    The Warrior of Light misunderstands the meaning of the word 'partner' and spills a little too much of how he feels about the plucky owner of Menphina's Arms as a result.

    [WOL is a named and developed character rather than a blank slate. Contains spoilers for Heavensward.]
