Caius is halway into being transformed to a Lightwarden, with long claws and white hair. Flowers grow from his skin. He's holding Emet-Selch whose gaze is directed somewhere far. It's dark, white lillies grow around them.
Run from the light

Their souls are tied together, doomed to always cross paths one way or another. Emet made sure of it when he hunted and killed every Azem shard he could find to force a rejoining, to repair the broken soulbond he had. Caius is an anomaly, the one who got close. Warm and alive. >
#ShadowToYourLight
AU of siren Caius in blue and with long silver hair, rising from the sea to allure the pirate into the water. Emet-Selch is in a boat full of flowers and foliage, leaning forward but holding a knife in his hand. Caius caresses his face. Sunset creates magical golden light around them.

Gpose photo of Caius kneeling on a dark purple ground that is the arena of the Hades boss fight. It's dark all around. He holds Emet-Selch in his arms. Emet is in his ascian robes, eyes closed, not moving. White lillies and a bouquet of blue forget me not flowers grow on him and in the ground. He lost the battle, he's gone.
Forgive me

They fight at the end of ShB as we see in canon, Emet dies and stays dead, they get their goodbyes at Ultima Thule but he still goes to rest in the Aetherial Sea. They do not share a life together. It's a tragedy but they're also never meant as a healthy happy couple anyway. >
#ShadowToYourLight
Emet-Selch holding Caius from behind, hand lifted as he points a dagger at the heart. Half of their faces are covered in roses but only Caius's other eye is visible. Red roses and blue forget me not flowers grow on both of them. The surrounding is dark.
To be loved

Two panel photo collage of Caius in red and Emet-Selch in black outfits dancing on the hallway of the Valentiones event area. It has tall golden windows where the light comes in, green plants and flowers around and dessert plates. But they only see each other. Picture above is in brighter colors, the second one is zoomed out and more muted colors.

Caius and Emet-Selch lying on snowy ground facing each other from opposite sides. Their hands touch in the middle and from there a bouquet of blue forget me not flowers is growing. Same blue flowers cover their faces. Caius is fully in white, Emet in black outfit. Reflecting Shadow and Light and remembrance.

Collage of three photos capturing a moment: Caius sitting on the edge of the bed in Pendants room. Emet-Selch wearing black nailpolish and black shirt leans closer to him, hands on both side of his face. Closeup of Caius's face as he looks at Emet with something of a longing smile. Lastly, closeup of their lips almost touching, Caius closing his eyes, Emet holds his chin with one hand. To kiss or not?
I thought I could resist you
But something in me just
can't help but insist
to blur the lines

A brief "what have I done" moment when Caius opens his eyes, then letting himself linger in the memory of the night a while longer. But no regret. He was more surprised to find out he wasn't alone. Emet was still there as if guarding his sleep, not beside him but present. And so >

Two panel photo series of Caius and Emet-Selch somewhere in Crystarium during a foggy weather. Caius sits on a stack of empty wooden boxes so he is a little higher up. Emet leans in closer to him with arms spread on both of his sides. Second pic shows Emet tilting his head and smiling as if innocent. Caius's face is not shown, he wears white sleeveless top with a black belt on it.

All the places Caius cannot go to without feeling like ghost of Emet-Selch lingering there with him.
Amaurot under the sea, where their final desperate confrontation happens. Full of echoes of the past that Emet carried but Caius can't reach. He goes back there after some time >

Collage of photos showing two lifetimes tied together. 1. Aurelian (Azem), a man with long silver hair, green eyes and ancient robes with black mask, waves goodbye as he prepares to leave on his journeys again. Sunlight shines behind him. 2. Emet-Selch as Solus and Caius, who shares same silver hair and green eyes as Aurelian, during Shadowbringers. They walk in opposite directions but are tied together by red string of fate. Dark starry sky on background. 3. Ancient Emet-Selch, with white hair and the ancient robes with red mask, smiles fondly as he holds a yellow sunflower in his hand.

I'll come back to you soon
I always do, don't I?

Screenshot from AO3 fic title and summary. How it hurts by hallans Summary: To feel everything and nothing at all. It only takes a moment. A moment of weakness and an echo triggering at the wrong time, memory stolen away. "To come to you willingly, even now I ask for this ache." Emet-Selch PoV
"He needs...needs to tear apart this tender flower now blooming in his hands, robbing away his senses, his breath, his thoughts."
