A New World to Explore Diana2112 Summary: Sha'dow and two of his partners, Landra and Talori (along with Talori's twin brother Kai), sail to the New World, Tural, with the Third Promise, Wuk Lamat, to help her in her bid for the throne. Along for the ride are Sha'dow's adopted twin children, Alisaie and Alphinaud, as well as Erenville, and Krile. And unexpected storm rages.

(I may not can write right now, but I DID go in and update all of my works on #AO3, so instead of being under one big "Book of Shadow" series, everything for #WoLFiliaWeek2025 is under that, #FFXIVPolyamoryWeek2025 is under THAT, and #WoLyseWeek2025 is under THAT, as well! Nice and sorted! 🥰)

Found Family Diana2112 Summary: Karine and Maxima spend a day taking care of the children while Sha'dow and Mirri are on a date. Just a little slice of life in the Weaver Household.

#FFXIVPolyamoryWeek2025 #FFXIVPolyamWeek25 Day 7, "Home"

(Finally Finished! Sorry it took so long! This is my longest work yet, 2 whole chapters! I think it's my best, as well! Right at 5500 words of slice of life family dynamics. Please, enjoy!)

(After I take a nap, I'll be posting my final work for #FFXIVPolyamoryWeek2025 #FFXIVPolyamWeek25! "Home" was the theme. I sat down to write 1500-2000 words.

Well, nearly 5500 words later...

It's gonna be 2 chapters on AO3 (posting both at once, don't worry!), cause LONG!)

(I still have one more fic for #FFXIVPolyamoryWeek2025 #FFXIVPolyamWeek25 to write. "Home." I have the plot, Karine and Maxima at home watching all the kids (biological and adopted, 16 kids, 4 adult kids (2 adopted)) while Mirri and Sha'dow are on a date.

I just had to sort out all the kids. 1/

She's Gone, It Doesn't Matter, Does It? Diana2112 Summary: They were all betrayed at the Bloody Banquet, and now the Sultana and Minfilia were dead. The other Scions were likely just as dead, what does it matter if Sha'dow breaks his promise? What does it matter if he takes the Black again? Why SHOULDN'T he take revenge on the Crystal Braves and Ilberd? He and Alphinaud were on the run... This childish rebellion ends now. He unlocked the box... Notes: My headcanon of what Sha'dow does in the aftermath of the Bloody Banquet, wracked with grief over Minfilia's death. As ever, Sha'dow is a Drow living in Eorzea, no memories of his past life (though if you want the story of him getting his memories back, that's up now! Check out "How Sha'dow Got His Groove Back"). Undercommon Translations in the end notes.

#FFXIVPolyamoryWeek2025 #FFXIVPolyamWeek25 Day 5: Promises

(Meant to post this yesterday, but health and whatnot.

Anyway, enjoy my post for day 5 of PolyamWeek! I'm nearing the finishline, somewhat shakily, but slow and steady wins the race!)

An image of an outdoor, nature scene, by a river at night with strange energy in the air, and fog in the distance. Three figures are by the riverbank, two white haired, female Miqo'te Seekers of the Sun, and a white haired male Drow elf. The shorter Miqo'te, Talori, is wearing a green, low neckline dress with a wid belt. Her hands are in front of her face, a joyous expression. Her left leg is kicked up as if she's ecstatic. The taller Miqo'te, Mhitra, is in a similar pose, her left leg lower, her eyes closed. She's wearing a floral print top, tied in a knot, a bikini top under it, and cutoff bluejean shorts and sandals. The Drow, Sha'dow, is sat with his back to a rock, looking at the crystal flower that has the two women excited, smiling. He has his left arm on his left knee, his right leg extended. He's dressed in bluejeans, boat shoes, and a purple polo shirt. He has a leather band diver's watch on his left wrist. All three are wearing matching Eternity Bands on their left ring fingers.

#FFXIVPolyamoryWeek2025 #FFXIVPolyamWeek25 Day 6: Nature

Ever loving nature, Sha'dow and his wives Talori & Mhitra would venture into the Shroud-Tension be damned-to enjoy the flora and fauna there.

In fact, if Odin WAS around, the crystals of Urth's Gift seemed to glow all the brighter!

(Please enjoy another late entry for Polyam Week!)

A cozy image set in a kitchen. Sha'dow, a Drow elf male with charcoal skin is dressed in a chef's coat and apron, at a stove with a frying pan, sprinkling seasonings in the pan, crying an egg. He has white hair, parted on the left. On his left, is Lyse, a white woman with blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail, wearing red pajamas with yellow chocobos, holding her hand up to get his attention, Behind them, at another WOOD cooking stove, with a large wok over the flames, is Shtola, a Miqo'te woman with white hair and tail, looking over her left s houlder at them, a small smile on her lips. The lighting is warm and very, very cozy.

#FFXIVPolyamoryWeek2025 #FFXIVPolyamWeek25 Day 3: Cooking

Though Sha'dow was no longer STRICTLY partners with Lyse, and only SPICY friends with Shtola, he loved them both dearly, and was always happy to cook for and WITH them.

And if his and Lyse's life ever calmed down enough...

He's got a ring.

Aedric, Solene, and G'raha sit on a picnic blanket in a field while feeding each other strawberries. Solene reclines and leans back on Aedric, who has his cheek resting softly on her head. G'raha is fed a strawberry by Solene, blushing as he admires his two partners.

The Butcher Breakout Diana2112 Summary: Sha'dow had seen inside Fordola's head. He saw what made her take up arms against Ala Mhigo. Seriously, trying to stone a CHILD? And now she was in prison for her crimes. It was Yotsuyu all over again, and he was having none of it. In fact, he thought a nice exploration of Coerthas' snowy drifts on a moonlit night would do her troubled spirits a world of good. What happens when he finds out they've put an enchanted choking collar on her? And what happens when she sees inside Talori's memories with the Resonance? For FFXIVPolyamoryWeek2025 "Exploration."

Finishing up the second Day 1 Prompt for #FFXIVPolyamoryWeek2025 "Exploration." My original plan was to have Talori and Fordola running around with Sha'dow in Coerthas, so Fordola could experience snow BEFORE Camp Broken Glass...

It turned into "Exploration" of trauma and feelings...😭 1/

A wholesome gpose showing Hythlodaeus, Minerva and Emet-Selch relaxing in a living room scene. Minerva is resting against Hythlodaeus, wiith her legs stretched over Emet's lap. Hyth is resting one hand on Minerva's knee, and holds a coffee cup in the other on his lap. Emet is reading, and is smirking at Minerva as she plops her legs on his lap. Both Minerva and Emet have a book in their hands. All 3 of them are in comfortable clothing.
