a gpose of wren seated on a table, reaching for sidurgu's chin. one of his arms is in the foreground, bandaged. there's a fic summary also included, which reads: She doesn't bother to protest — there's little reason to call him back to bed unless she means to dress his wound or tend to whatever need had arisen while she'd procured supplies. It would be unwise. They work well together. The arrangement needs complications precisely as much as she needs another ill-timed vision from the echo. As a consequence of sharing a room, Wren and Sidurgu catch each other in a compromising situation.

Summary: Sidurgu considers, not for the first time, the realities of sharing a thin wall with someone so delighted by the details of their nights in the shared halls. Few others would comment on anything they heard. Perhaps it is no longer worth their usual attempts at sparing him.

once more, with violent feeling. by: crystallineconflict Summary: "She isn’t sure why it shocks her, how quickly the dress comes off and comes apart. It’s easy enough to tear anything so delicate to shreds when you’re all sharp edges and unyielding steel, she supposes, stiffening as an armored finger — large, menacing in sheer size alone — comes to rest beneath her chin, tilting her face up, up further." The Warrior of Light has never been particularly good at goodbyes, even when it's the only thing left to say.

summary: In truth, many went hungry in the Brume, which made it all the worse that a few gil would buy bread, ale, a fire-warmed room, even some amenable company. It would not buy blood. Usually. And most nights, that was enough. So while Sidurgu recognized the hunger on Wren's face, there was little he could do for her but order another amber drink.

AO3 entry describing information and tags for the linked story.

Image of text snippet from linked story: "Yotsuyu silently bristled, eyes snapping back to the present to find Shiina once again. "Well… then I suppose it's best you ask." Her words came out anxious like smeared ink, but Shiina knew to expect that. Mortals could not communicate with each other with the same simple elegance as gods might. Heavenly authority asserted itself unspoken, as straightforward as two blades interposed. But to be mortal was to be imperfect. No two words uttered were alike in shape or meaning, like shards of pottery that could be handled as carefully crafted pieces of artifice or as crude improvised weapons seized in desperation. Shiina got a grip on her words, tightly but shakily."

"Come, my heart. You must be cold, and a fire roars in my chambers." "I'm sure," she teases. "But I've traveled so far, and you're sure to be caught in no fewer than eight conversations on the way back to your quarters." And oh, if her gloved hand doesn't find exactly the right angle to slide under his light armor and into his breeches. So that's the game she's playing at.

Image of text: Maligned Spring comeuppance Summary: A woman finds her end. A dragon's wrath is stoked. A maligned spring follows a desolate winter. Notes: An original, prose-focused story detailing the creation of my original character, Shiina Muramasa, a dragon auspice Goddess of Strife bound to a mortal vessel. Please mind the tags: this story is very intense and upsetting, almost to the point that I feel I may have gone overboard on some of the detail. The intent of this story is to act almost as a creation myth for this character, and I have rendered it in all the horror I feel was necessary to capture it. There is essentially no closure, for it's primarily here to provide context. That all said, I do hope you can find it evocative. If you wish to see Shiina in a more positive, joyous, and life-affirming context, check me out at @comeuppance.bsky.social on BlueSky.

Shiina and a girl seemingly identical to her stand in a vague, spiritual realm in shallow water, a torii gate looming behind them. Shiina holds her sheathed katana in her offhand and caresses the other Shiina's face, looking distraught. The other Shiina reassuringly grips Shiina's hand with her own, smiling back at her. The other Shiina, notably, wears a simple blue kimono and lacks the real Shiina's scales, horns, and facial markings.

Shiina exhaled and allowed Yotsuyu’s scent to fill her instead. It always seemed the moon-touched woman emanated a vaguely flowery-earthen note, of petals yet to bloom or perhaps a grove drowned in a downpour. In a moment of contentment or focus she may exude the sensuality of sandalwood, or in a moment of sorrow, the scattering of lavender.

This is how I feel Yotsuyu smells. If you care.

When the crimson moon still hung high in the night sky — though perhaps not as high as it should — and before fire rained from the sky, before Ishgard was consigned to the cold and snow year-round. Janlenoux can't catch a break.

a fic on ao3 titled “a duetting solo” by AUO. Summary: “A beautiful view,” Odeline comments softly, breaking the silence that had settled between them as Ignasse continued to search for some sort of explanation, some excuse as to why he had done this. “But surely you have not taken me from my bed for the view alone?” “I wanted to show you what it means to be a dragoon.” Ignasse finally chooses his words. It isn’t a lie, not exactly, but he doesn’t know how else to convey how he wants to share his world with her. That his heart aches and aches and has ached since he donned this armor. Ignasse teaches Odeline what it means to be a dragoon.
