Shrike reclines in a beach chair in Costa Del Sol, crossing one leg on his knee. He wears a black wetsuit with a red hoodie over it, along with a matching pair of red-tinted aviators. He adjusts his sunglasses.
Your Moonfire Faire lifeguard is on duty. 🔥☀️🐲

"Don't cry... y'know I can't actually die. Just... hurts a lot. But it's worth it... because I love you more than anything in this world, Yotsuyu."
#ShrikePoses | #Shiinatsuyu | #ShiinaMuramasa | #Yotsuyu | #ElvaShade | #gpose
Yotsuyu stands amidst a dark sky alight from a storm, covering one side of her face with her hand. Her visible eye glows blue, and tears well in it and roll down her face. Her expression is placid, but deeply afraid.
"Please don't make... HER come back..."

Shiina sits atop the steps to a temple, surrounded by the animal forms of Byakko, Suzaku, Genbu, and Seiryu. A white horned tiger, a fiery vermilion bird, a small sea turtle, and a jade-colored snake, respectively.
Shiina holds a long katana over her shoulder, unadorned apart from a simple cloth wrapping for a grip, while resting her other arm on her knee. She smiles gently as Genbu floats next to her.
The Four Lords and the Stray Dragon
"Pretty weird as far as families go... but they're mine."
#ShrikePoses | #ShiinaMuramasa | #ElvaShade | #gpose
Shiina's body hangs limp as she sinks into the deep ocean, apparently drowning. A sheathed katana as well as an unsheathed unadorned blade sink along side her.
"No matter how much I die... it never gets less lonely."

#ShrikePoses
Shiina and Yotsuyu sit indoors, with rain falling outside in the yard. Yotsuyu sits with her face buried in her knees and hands braced on her head, crying in intense grief. Shiina sits a short distance away, on her knees in a focused, patient posture, there for Yotsuyu when she needs her.
I'll see your tears laid to a peaceful rest. And I'll be waiting for you, once the rains finally pass.

Shiina stands with her sheathed katana rested on her shoulder, the expanse of Doma in the distance behind her. She shoots a confident smirk and holds a bottle of sake in her other hand.
My home is with the wind.

Shiina and Yotsuyu sit atop a cliff in Shirogane, gazing at the canvas of stars across the night sky. Shiina is engrossed with the scenery, while Yotsuyu looks away, looking pensive and guarded.
Shiina continues to gaze at the sky, smiling contentedly. Yotsuyu turns toward Shiina, lifting her hand out and beginning to reach towards her anxiously. A wrapped bento and bottle of sake sits between the two.
Yotsuyu places her hand on Shiina's, gazing at her nervously. Shiina turns her head to look at Yotsuyu, her smile warm and affirming.
Yotsuyu now gazes up at the night sky, smiling gently. Shiina gazes up with her.
Let's search the sky for a while, you and I
Collide like two stars for a while, you and I

Shiina hovers in the air in a meditative posture amidst a grove of red-leafed trees, crossing one leg up and letting the other hang. She performs a mudra with her hands, keeping one hand over her heart with the index and middle fingers extended and curling the fingers of her other hand beneath. She opens one eye to gaze at a disturbance.
A close up of the previous image. She shuts both of her eyes, focusing.
"Even if I have practiced this for centuries... I would rather you not disturb me."

Shrike, standing in the ruins of a Halonic chapel, stands straight, raising his arm directly out to the side, reaching towards a massive surge of darkside energy erupting in the air.
Shrike, enveloped in a shadowy aura, now holds a radiant burning greatsword in his hand, summoned from the dark rift.
"Pray to your Fury... that you even leave enough of a corpse to mourn."

Shrike, shirtless, stands straight with an arm poised behind his back.
Shrike raises his arm to reach his hand to his shoulder, displaying his onyx and blood red-scaled bicep.
Eighth of the First Brood. Not much else to say.

Shrike, shirtless, doing a one-handed pushup, looking up with an incredulous expression while speaking: "Five in the morning? Early? The hells are you on about?"
Really, she gets up so early to enjoy the silence and stillness of the world before the city comes alive.
#ShrikePoses | #Elezen | #ElvaShade | #gpose
Shrike hangs in the air, enshrouded in a shadowy aura and poised to strike. He raises his fist back as if to punch forward the massive, radiant blade Ascalon that hangs just behind him.
"Tyrant's blade, heed my command. Burn brighter than the sun, be the light that carries my shadow! Unleash ruin! Dread Ascalon!"
Because Shrike needed a Noble Phantasm.

Shrike bows down, taking Taele's hand in his in a courtly gesture. He looks up at her with a smirk.

Shrike leans against the counter while Hilda embraces him, resting her head on his chest. Shrike rests his chin on her head and brushes his fingers through her ponytail. Daylight filters in through the window, and a pair of cups of coffee as well as a plate of biscuits sits on the counter.

Hilda and Shrike stand face to face on a bridge in the Dravanian Forelands, the evening sun cast down upon them. Hilda takes Shrike's hands in hers gently, looking off to the side with a tepid expression. Shrike looks at her intently. Hilda says: "Léone... there's somethin' I'd been meanin' to ask ye."
A closer up shot focused on Shrike and Hilda's hands in each others. Hilda grips Shrike's hands from below, gently. Hilda continues: "It's somethin' I've been dancin' around like a drunkard for too long now... somethin' I know the two of us are afraid of."
An over the shoulder shot with Hilda in the foreground, focused on Shrike looking back at her. There's tension in his gaze as he listens to her. Hilda continues: "We've both got so much to lose now... it's been odd gettin' used to. But I- dammit, to hells with it all."
Hilda's looks at Shrike tenderly but not without her own anxiety, eyes gleaming in the sunlight. Hilda tells him: "Would ye take me hand in marriage, Léone?"

It's one thing to take each other's hands. It's another to promise to keep hold of each other until the end of their days.

Hilda sits on the couch, stretching her legs out. She rests one leg on Shrike's knee, who sits on the floor, while he holds her other leg by the boot. Hilda says: "Ye don't have go through all this ceremony, y'know."
Shrike, still holding Hilda's boot, glances toward Hilda, smiling. He says: "You've had a long day. And you deserve to be pampered, magpie."
Shrike leans in to kiss Hilda's boot.
Hilda relaxes and shuts her eyes while Shrike continues tending to her. Hilda says: "Well... I won't argue with that, love."
#XIVRarepairWeek2025 Day 3: Leather
Shrike likes to make sure that even the mundane event of Hilda getting home from her duties each day can be something worth cherishing.

Shrike lays on the couch with Hilda on top of him, both naked. Hilda leans in to kiss the large X-shaped scar across Shrike's heart. Shrike wraps his arm around Hilda and rests his head on hers, smiling contentedly.

Hilda stands in the foreground cast in bright light, holding her fist up with determination and holding her gunblade low in her other hand. She casts a long shadow behind her, which Shrike stands within. His back is turned while he braces the tip of his greatsword against the ground.

Shrike, shirtless, sits in a chair in a dark room, keeping one leg bent up on the chair and the other stretched out. He rests his hands on his knees, glaring balefully as an aura of darkness surrounds him.
"If I am that which you desire... then pray you understand the power you trifle with."

Shrike leans against a railing in Tuliyollal, resting his hand on the hilt of one of his paired twinfangs. He wears a white shirt and black corset, chest exposed to the setting sun.

Shrike, dressed in a short-sleeve shirt, slacks, boots, and a pair of red-tinted aviators sits on the edge of a boardwalk in Tuliyollal.

Shrike strides across an icy plain in the midst of a blizzard, greatsword in hand. His face is stained with blood and his tabard flows in the wind behind him. Behind him are the bodies of several Temple Knights, impaled on burning spears.

Hilda stands with her shotgun raised and a hand on her hip, wearing a cropped hoodie emblazoned with the lesbian pride flag colors on one half. She winks and grins, stating: "Remember! Transphobes, queerphobes, racists, and bigots of all walks're just as flammable as anythin' else!"
The Firebrand herself wishes you a Happy Pride, and has an important reminder to go with it:

Shrike possessively holds Hilda, who wears a red dress with a revealing leg slit. The waistband of her panties are visible. She lifts her leg, curling it around his.
