Summary
"Will you give me this, Ramiel?" Alisaie says, words echoing with the delicate weight of ceremony. They'd established a formal exchange early on, all whispered oaths and promises in the dark. It gave Ramiel a choice, the one thing she valued above all else that was so routinely taken from her. Where catastrophes and monarchs presumed to own, her chevalier asked, ready to take and willing to be refused.
"Always." Ramiel says, a long exhale following her surrender. The pressure in her chest goes out with it. There wasn't any room for such a thing in Alisaie's arms. All that remained was a soul deep exhaustion and the knowledge that it could be eased through service. Ramiel feels her ears droop and closes her eyes, saying "whatever is left of me is yours."

Summary
There are only so many places to hide on a boat. Ramiel should know, as she's availed herself of every single one to avoid Alisaie's attention during the long voyage to Doma. But a week into the journey and she's already used them all up. It started innocently (if not childishly) enough - making sure they were never alone, turning and running away the moment their eyes met, all the strategies Ramiel's employed with former paramours in her time before the Scions. Which is the actual problem, because so far as she knows, they've never spent an evening together. Yet lately, the elezen looks at Ramiel like she's seen her beating heart, as if she had it in her hands and pressed her lips to all its scars before gently placing it back in her chest.
To even contemplate the depth of that sort of feeling scares the everlasting shit out of Ramiel. Knowing she's the object of it makes her want to jump into the sea and swim all the way back to Limsa. Lyse, as has always been her habit, thinks it's hilarious.

Summary
Once again, I am kneeling before you as you sit on the edge of your bed. You spread your armored hands on the altars of your thighs; palms up, making an offering I'll gladly take. The temptation to be fast, to be merciless and sudden, is great. I am at the edge of the abyss and our body is the flame at its center. But discipline can be learned. Your armor falls away. I kiss the tips of your fingers and down their lengths to the center of your palms. I will fill every empty space we have.
You sigh, and I feel a score of ragged wounds begin to close. That such a small kindness can do so much for us is infuriating. But there is much and more to this moment. The backs of your hands are scarred, messy lines cutting across them in every direction. I kiss along their faded history, feeling the twitch of tendon and muscle. You hate this. Your eyes have opened and they burn me. I've fought worse and won.

Summary
Would you believe me, G'raha asked, and by the Twelve, Ramiel is trying. It's the only thing keeping her upright, the iron rod in her back that stops her from melting on the staircase. Panic is rising in her throat, thin, paralyzing tendrils that stop her usual affirmations. The twins taught her how to get through these spells, how to conquer them with time and patience. A quiet mantra and closed eyes conquer the smaller bouts of anxiety, but now.
Well.
Now, Ramiel gets back on her feet, reaching for the stubbornness in her spirit that's killed tyrants and gods. She can scream and sob and fall apart later, when the thick door to her room at the Rising Stones is locked. Ramiel shakes her head and climbs upwards, sure in step and wavering underneath the Warrior of Light's firm mask. One last task, she thinks, and then you can sleep for a week.

Summary
"I am like you, my friend, but this body," G'raha waves a hand to encompass the entirety of herself, "well, it disagrees rather vehemently."
"Are you so sure, Raha?" You say, hands tracing slow paths across her chest. Your claws are sharp and they make G'raha's crystal sing. "It belongs to you, beloved. Yours is the only definition that matters for it."
"Would you think me weak for wanting yours to mean just as much?"

Summary
And that warrants being a little lovestruck over, doesn’t it? They’re not soulmates by any stretch of the definition— in another universe where the world never ended, Aurora is happily married to someone who had known their own heart well enough to give it away, and Karen is still embarking on the lifelong endeavour to learn to live with her own imperfections.
No, they weren’t meant for each other— but Aurora has consistently chosen to be with her, at every juncture of their lives, and maybe that means something more.
