Kit and Sidurgu: *animatedly whisper-yelling at one another in their ceded corner of the Forgotten Knight while every other patron tries to pretend they aren't snooping*
Rielle: Don't call them my parents.
Rielle: It's worse.
#KitSid
An unexpected but treasured situationship, #KitSid both knew from the start they were too scarred for it to be forever, but that didn't stop them from making the most they could of it.
Their grief was mirrored, and all things considered, found healthy healing together while they could.
IDK, "undying," might be ironic here, but they're knights, and they sure do have one another's fealty.
Some bonds are never broken, not by death, not by anything.

Benefit/Dream
"And what do you stand to gain from all you give?"
"I just want a safer world."
"No, what do you want, Kit? For you. Has no one ever asked you?"
"I... once."
"Twice."
"Twice. But I never get to keep them."
"Hm."
A brown, purple-haired Viera woman lies cuddled atop a pale, Auri man from FFXIV. She appears sad and thoughtful, and he concerned.

Free Day
"I do know how to kill someone to save my own life."
"Do you?"
"His name was Elidibus--I never even knew his real name--and I loved him. No, I love him. I love him, and I killed him to save the world."
"I'm sorry."

Shatter/Monochrome
Obsidian: a dark, natural glass formed by the cooling of molten lava. Like all glass, obsidian breaks with a characteristic conchoidal fracture.

Persist/Sky
The path of the Dark Knight often requires you to persist in the face of any adversity. Even being pissed at your Situationshipmate. Even moogles.

Touch/Magic
"We commune with darkness, Kit, but it does not bind us."
Yet they could feel one another across it. A shroud around them both. Protective. Warm. A union, which once forged, would never break.
Despite my ineptitude with the prompt, I actually really liked how these ones came out last night, so have the full set!

Winter/World
"I could stay."
"No, you can't."
"But you and Rielle--"
"Need to figure it out on our own, because the world will need its hero."
"I know."
"Where will you go?"
"To collect the stars."
"You'll walk among them."

"Kit? What in the hells is this?"
"A fish? It was a housewarming gift?"
"Just... don't tell anyone you have this, okay?"

Bubble/Hope
He could scarce believe it, yet it made perfect sense: some part of Fray yet existed within her. Somehow, it gave him hope.
When they ended the bubble of their time together, she and Fray would be safe with one another.

Summer/Melody
I don't have a good fill for this prompt, so have a goddamned Beach Episode!
A pale Auri man with black scales and white hair looks into the eyes of a brown, purple-haired Viera woman from FFXIV, holding her hand in one of his, and touching her face with the other. They sit naked on a bed together. She has a ring on her hand, and looks back at him, gaze heavy with grief.

Ring/Love
"It's all I have left of him." Her voice trembles. "Does it bother you?"
"No." How could it? "You decide what you need. No one else."
"I need you."
She doesn't. Never has. Not like he needs her. But it's nice to hear.
No one panic! @talizoraa.bsky.social reminded me to fix this egregious error.

Free Day
Once in a while they got things right, maybe.
It wasn't like either of them had what resembled a normal Eorzean childhood. It mattered that they tried, and it mattered that for her nameday, Rielle seemed happy.
#VierApril | #AuRaApril | #KitSid | #KitHareington | #SidurguOrl
Pressure/Spring
She's like spring. Reminds him he knows how to be happy. And he seems to affect her in kind. But they both have pressures, burdens. The world will need her.
'Tis why it has to end. As soon as they return to Ishgard.
Surrounded by blue and white clad Temple Knights, a brown-skinned, purple-haired Viera woman from FFXIV holds a giant greatsword in defense of a young, white Elezen girl, and a tall, pale, white-haired Auri man. The man is being restrained as a prisoner, a sword pointed at his throat.

Weakness/Memory
He gave her one order: take Rielle and run.
"I won't sentence another person I love to die," she snarls, and the darkness winds around them both. "You ask too much."
She's going to get herself cut down like Fray.
You all enabled this. I have no excuses. It's what they both deserve. CW: Spanking.

Privacy/Friendship
He does not like the way her friend speaks to her.
Sid could make him leave, but she says she has this, and she needs to learn to stand on her own. He can't protect her forever, and she wouldn't thank him anyway.
This shot didn't make it into the set I posted (it feels jarring to change shaders mid-thread), but I took one with @skelezyn.bsky.social's gorgeous prismacolor preset, and truly love the way it turned out. It took the lighting I worked so hard on to the next tonal level.

Dream/Sorrow
She never speaks her lost lover's name, but whimpers "Elidibus" in her sleep. He doesn't talk about Fray at all. Whatever nightmare wakes her, screaming, night after night, he's relieved he can finally help someone.
#VierApril | #AuRaApril | #KitSid | #KitHareington | #SidurguOrl
Shadow/Desire
They were both under a long-reaching shadow of grief, afraid that indulging any new desire was a disservice to their lost lovers.
"This only needs to be what we need it to be, for as long as we need it."

For just a little while, they let themselves pretend it was something they could keep.

Travel/Work
Despite the uncertainty, the many traumas they carried, and the daunting task in front of them, traveling together stopped feeling like work, and started feeling like it could be home.
A brown-skinned, purple-haired Viera woman wraps her arms around a pale Xaela Auri man, fingers lingering over the black scales lining his back. Her mouth and nose are concealed behind his shoulder, and her eyes are closed.

Scales/Perception
The darkness they shared allowed them to notice one another's grief, and let them find comfort and healing from it together.
Who better than each other understood having loved and lost an excoriated man?

Introduction/Soft
I'm gonna exploit the overlap this month to blather about the unexpected beauty that was Kit/Sid.
They had a rough start, as he was the first person to call Kit out for being too soft on people trying to kill her.
