  5. Summary

    The Warrior of Light did not expect to find a home in the icy cold of Ishgard, nor did he expect to find any semblance of family, love, patience or understanding when he fled U'ldah, losing just about everything.
    Under-prepared, a fool bumbles his way as best he can.

    Summary

    It would be easier if Emet-Selch were crueler about his success, but victory seems to have sapped him of the casual sadism, and what is left behind in the wake of triumph is worse. It is so much worse because it is gentle from start to terrible, terrible finish.

    Summary

    Set after 6.0, Vrtra/Estinien, spoilers for MSQ and level 70 DRG quests.

    "The first song I knew came from my sire. A dirge, which became the lullaby that Midgardsormr sang to us in the egg on the long flight between the stars. It is a song I have never forgotten, despite all the ages of mankind which have risen and fallen since."

    "A lullaby?" Distracted away from his assessment of Vrtra's injuries, Estinien smirks at the idea of the greatest of dragons crooning like a doting nursery attendant. "What was it like?"

    Bemused, Vrtra only inclines his head. "Shall I recite it for thee?"

    Summary

    Set post-Ifrit ARR through 5.3 MSQ, spoilers. m!WoL/Elidibus enemies/lovers slowburn. Uses Legacy!WoL, but no knowledge of 1.0 is necessary.

    But the stranger did not concede so easily. "You yourself should have the answer. I believe I recognize you now. You are the slayer of Ifrit, are you not? I have heard the stories." The ice of his gaze was sharpening by the moment, brittle and bright like a glacier becoming molten as it refracted the kiss of the sun. "Tell me, what is a hero? You must know. You have become one, after all."

    "I am the slayer of Ifrit," the Warrior acknowledged. "That does not make me a hero."

    Summary

    Erichthonios he can read now like a ledger, all of him neatly aligned: cause to consequence, his heart chained to his post. Earnest, besides, and dutiful, which Themis appreciates above all.

    But this fallen star of his — at times, as they delved deeper into the Pandaemonium’s hallways, he would feel the weight of that amber gaze upon his back, and, turning, find it knowing and himself at a loss.

    Themis does not mind the secrets, but he can ask, and he can touch.

    Summary

    Aymeric had long known he would die at his calling, with the sense of one who was attuned to the spirits and fully at peace with his fate.  He was young yet, though.  He had not faced much more than a few possessions, and lingering ghosts who had needed more comfort than chastisement to leave in peace.

    He knew someday he would face far more.  He was not afraid.
