Bram cuddles a baby karakul minion while sitting in the pasture of the Island Sanctuary. A couple of larger karakul graze in the distance.
#Febhyurary - Day 23: Minion
Repost of an old favorite because I simply do not think I'll ever take a cuter minion gpose than this. It isn't possible.
{ #leeposes }
A gpose of a distant afternoon, in which the entire Doman royal "family" enjoys a peaceful moment together on a porch. Bram and Gosetsu drink green tea, sitting side by side. Gosetsu raises his to his lips. Bram holds his tea while chatting with Mina, who is sitting next to him on the porch. Yugiri leans against a nearby beam, watching the proceedings. Hien, dressed in an ornate dogi, hugs a young girl and smooths her hair. The girl, his and Bram's 10 year old daughter, Hana, hugs him back. You cannot see her face but Hien smiles down at her with absolute fondness.
#Febhyurary - Day 22: Future
A distant afternoon some dozen years in the future, in which the entire Doman royal family enjoys a moment of peace and prosperity.

Bram trains in the Doman Enclave's training grounds. He is sweating hard and holding a katana, glaring at the camera as if it is the striking dummy.
#Febhyurary - Day 21: Damage
Work hard, hit harder.
{ #leeposes }
Bram, dressed in a long brown coat and armed with his katana, stands at the edge of a mountain. Beyond him, through the dim fog, peaks rise into the distance.
#Febhyurary - Day 20: Heights
At world's edge.
{ #leeposes }
Bram and Hien, eleven years old and still called by their childhood names, stand in the palace garden. Their pinkies are interlocked in a pinky promise. Bram looks a little unsure, but Hien smiles directly at him, like he's absolutely certain his vision will come to pass.
#Febhyurary - Day 19: Dream
"We'll pinky promise," Shun beamed, even as Kimihiro felt a little embarrassed by the idea. "One day I will be king, just like my father, and you can be like Gosetsu: my loyal retainer and friend. One day we will set Doma free, together."
(Bodyguard AU.)

Bram and Bren stand together, presumably on the beach in Besaid. A sunset glows beyond the picture, bathing them both in warm light. Bren watches the horizon and smiles faintly while Bram looks off to the side, obviously distraught. His arms are wrapped around Bren's shoulders from behind. Bren claps his hands over Bram's.
#Febhyurary - Day 18: Alternate Universe
One last sunset in Besaid.
{ #leeposes | #obram | #ffxau }
A gpose of Bram's family outside their home in Saisho, when he was a young child (maybe 7-8 years old). Bram is in the center of the image, playing a chasing game with Mina, who is slightly blurry as she runs away on the left. On the right, Hector (their father) observes his children with a somber expression while Hanako (their mother) leans against his chest, gazing up at him lovingly. Hector is dressed in an imperial uniform while the rest of them wear typical Doman clothing.
#Febhyurary - Day 17: Family
Or something like it.

Hien stands center frame with his blade in hand, dwarfed by the enormous doors to Doma castle. Within, the palace burns and is in disarray, strewn with damaged magitek, even as the beauty of the architecture remains. Columns wrapped in dragons rise to the ceiling, painted red and teal with gold accents. Large mosaics in white, teal, and gold line the stairs, also adorned with dragons. Stairs rise and rise into the Hall of the Scarlet Swallow. Lanterns and censers hang from the ceiling.
#Febhyurary - Day 16: Dungeon
A difficult but worthy sacrifice.

A black and white portrait of Bram taken from the shoulders up against a plain dark background. He wears a serious and focused expression. A long scar continuously runs from above his right eyebrow to the left side of his jaw.
#Febhyurary - Day 15: Brand
Many rumors dog the enigmatic Warrior of Light, but none more common than the origin of the scar cleaving his face in two. Some say it was given to him by Gaius van Baelsar. Others cite accidents or close calls with fiends. None have ever been correct.
{ #leeposes }
Mina and Granson stand near the window in the Pendants inn room. Both of them look sombre and contemplative. Granson has one arm slung across Mina's shoulders and she touches the fingers of his other hand with her own. A night sky twinkles in the background.
#Febhyurary - Day 14: ❤️
There was a difference, Mina realized, between duty and desire. Just because she wanted this didn't mean it was possible. It didn't mean she should give in, or even could. Granson deserved better than to lose someone again.
But gods, was it tempting.
{ #leeposes }
Bram and Estinien share a drink on the balcony of one of the bars in Shaaloani. String lights and a lantern glow nearby, while stars twinkle in the distance. Bram sits on a crate, raising his drink to his lips, while Estinien looks out at the scenery and cradles his drink against his stomach.
#Febhyurary - Day 13: Hang Out
Two guys who can grab a drink together, not really say anything, and gain like 40 friendship points.
{ #leeposes }
Mina, dressed in the white and black robes of Spagyrics in the Crystarium, holds a book in her arms while perusing the shelves in the Cabinet of Curiosity.
#Febhyurary - Day 12: Book
There were many unexpected benefits to her time spent on the First, but Mina's favorite by far was access to the Cabinet of Curiosity.
{ #leeposes }
On the walkway near the Arcadion, Bram looks back over his shoulder as Solution 9's Bram and O'bren pass. S9 Bram wears the bouncer's gear and sunglasses while O'bren is dressed in a black dress and choker.
#Febhyurary - Day 11: Shard
Bram didn't have time to take a good look before the two vaguely familiar figures were swarmed by fans and vanished. Word on the street is the Warrior of Light looks an awful lot like the security detail working for S9's favorite pop star, though.
{ #leeposes | #obram }
Bram and O'bren are in the gold saucer, at the moogle crane game. Bram concentrates on manuevering the machine while O'bren does pretty please hands beside him.
#Febhyurary - Day 10: Gold Saucer
Bram is not necessarily a fan of the Gold Saucer (way too noisy and chaotic) but when O'bren asks you to win him a karakul plush, you win him a karakul plush.
{ #leeposes | #obram }
Mina gazes down at her hands, where a small collection of aether shines pretty as The One Ring. Behind her, a voidsent opens its mouth as if to devour.
#Febhyurary - Day 9: Heal
Mina opened her palm and focused on the tingling, so faint it could easily be her imagination--the voidsent's gift, if indeed it told the truth. Aether collected there, rich as a little spring.
The kami were either kind or she was very, very stupid.
{ #leeposes }
Bram and Hien stand on either side of a black horse with a white mane. Bram pets its chest while Hien touches its face. They are chatting with each other and smiling.
#Febhyurary - Day 8: Mount
“You mentioned, once, that you missed the convenience of your chocobo and that it would be terribly expensive to bring it here,” Hien began as they walked toward the stable. “One of our farm hands suggested he may have a solution.”

A two panel comic. In the first panel, Bram stands in front of a vending machine and taps a picture of a drink on a touch screen. In the second panel, Bram folds his arms and looks annoyed as the vending machine displays an error message.
#Febhyurary - Day 7: Technology
Bram just wasn't built for whatever the hell's going on in Solution 9.
{ #leeposes }
Bram, Mina, and Hien all sit together on a beach chair. Bram is laid back and relaxing. He wears a pale blue swimsuit and sunglasses and has his hands behind his head. It isn't clear if he's sleeping. Mina sits at the edge of the chair, wearing a pink swimsuit and sunglasses and chatting with Hien. Hien sits on the ground near the foot of the chair, rubbing his shoulder and talking to Mina in turn. It looks like a hot summer day. Palm trees are in the background.
#Febhyurary - Day 6: Vacation
Using this opportunity to make you look at them all enjoying last years' Moonfire Faire again.
{ #leeposes }
Bram plays a harp in the Rising Stones. He is smiling a little uncertainly and plucking at a string. He wears bard gear and is notably missing his usual rose earrings, indicating this is a universe where he hasn't fallen in love with Haurchefant.
#Febhyurary - Day 5: Music
Bram's fingers danced across the strings and he tried not to focus on the way he'd gathered the Stones' rapt attention. Two years of this and even though he'd grown used to people hearing, having them listen was another matter entirely.
{ #leeposes | #b-team-au }
Mina and Granson look out over the final moments of dusk. They are both leaning against some railing in the Crystarium. The sky is mostly purple, with hints of yellow and pink near the horizon. The stars are just beginning to pinprick the night.
#Febhyurary - Day 4: Festival
"Brought back the night and you're choosing to spend the festivities wasting away with me? Generous of you, sinner."
"Don't let it go to your head.”
He smirked, then watched her for a moment. “You alright?"
"Yeah." She didn't sound sure. "Yeah."
{ #leeposes }
Bram, wearing House Fortemps armor and wielding a sword and shield, appears to be concentrating as he strikes a dummy with his blade. Haurchefant stands behind him, observing thoughtfully.
#Febhyurary - Day 3: Tank
"It isn't completely different from a katana," Bram said, testing the weight of the longsword in his hand. A reminder of how far he was from home. "Much heavier, though."
Haurchefant beamed. "I've no doubt you'll master it in a flash, my friend."
{ #leeposes }
Bram and O'bren are playing in the shallow water of the beach in Tulliyollal. O'bren leans down and splashes water at Bram while Bram guards his face and laughs happily. The sun is setting between them.
#Febhyurary - Day 2: Splash
I just think the natural conclusion to multiple world-threatening events and finally putting 5 years of romantic tension to bed is having a really nice vacation.
{ #leeposes | #obram }
Bram and Mina sit together on the docks in Kugane. Bram is slumped on the ground, his face buried against his arm, which is propped against one of his knees. He looks tired. Mina sits on a crate beside him, her arms folded and legs crossed, looking away from him in annoyance. Bram wears a red dogi and Mina wears a lavender yukata--the type of clothing they typically wore before coming to Eorzea.
#Febhyurary - Day 1: At the Beginning
"Was it worth it, then? Nearly ruining everything for some gil?"
Bram slumped into his knee, exhausted. "You needed a place to sleep."
"We would've been fine for one night. I'm not a child anymore. Once we get to Eorzea--"
"I know, Mina."
{ #leeposes }
An extreme closeup for Bram brushing his lips against Hien's jaw, just beneath his ear. Hien has one hand tenderly pressed to Bram's bare chest. You can't see either of their eyes. The room is dark with a hint of distant warmth.
Bram and Hien stand together on a decorative red bridge. They both have their eyes closed. Bram has his arms wrapped around Hien's middle from behind and Hien holds one of Bram's hands in his own. Bram's chin rests on Hien's shoulder and Hien leans his head into the side of Bram's face fondly.
By the kami.
Hien wasn’t certain he’d ever grow used to it. He didn’t want to. He wanted to be surprised and delighted every single time Bram decided to show his affection, settling into it as easily as breathing.
{ #leeposes | #wolhien | #bram/hien }
Bram and Hien stand near the aetheryte in the Doman Enclave, the windows of the Kienkan glowing behind them. Bram has Hien's chin tilted up in one hand and kisses him on the lips, while Hien wraps his arms around Bram's back and waist, as if to welcome him home after a long absence.
The aetheryte plaza had gone still for the evening and a gentle chill settled in. Bram's eyes swept toward the Kienkan and immediately landed upon the king, who waited at the gate.
"Welcome home," Hien said.
Six moons of longing crashed upon them all at once.
{ #leeposes | #wolhien | #bram/hien }
Bram and Hien tenderly embrace in the Pendants inn room in Norvrandt. Their foreheads are pressed together. Hien tenderly touches Bram's jaw, his thumb resting at the corner of his mouth, while Bram cradles the back of Hien's head and holds his waist. The faintest hint of a smile curls Hien's lips. A lamp glows warmly beside them.
Bram had been patient enough. The moment they were alone, he gathered Hien in his arms and rested their foreheads together, properly embracing him at last.
"Never do that again," he said.
Hien breathed a soft laugh against his lips. "It was hardly my fault."
{ #bram/hien | #wolhien | #leeposes }
Hien sits naked on the edge of a hot spring, with a lantern glowing warmly behind him. His legs are spread and Bram is kneeling between them, giving him a blowjob. His hair is down and Hien has his fingers tangled in it.
“We could’ve gotten caught,” Bram reminded him.
Hien’s pleased grin announced how little that seemed to matter. “That was half the thrill, was it not?”
{ #leeposes | #bram/hien | #nsfw }
Bram kisses Hien's neck while wrapping a hand delicately around the base of his throat. Hien grabs at his wrist. They both have their eyes closed.
Indulging in the time-honored tradition of fully posing 2 bodies just to post a shoulders-up shot as the final product ✨
