Tana, a male Viera, and Xeerol Ja, a female Mamool Ja, walk down the dock in Tuliyollal while chatting. Tana is lifting a big sack of produce over his shoulder.

Tana, Rose, Syla, and Lirre all in a selfie together! Lirre is taking the selfie and smiling brightly, Syla has his arms around all three of them, and Tana is throwing a peace sign and beaming. Rose is shyly posing and smiling in the background.
3. Friends
they're inseparable! Tana loves his besties, he can't imagine his life without them

the Warriors of Light are in the Waking Sands, congregated in the Solar. Tana lounges on one of the benches, watching his three fellow WoLs, Lirre, Syla, and Rose with a mildly irritated look. Lirre and Syla are bickering, and Rose is attempting to soothe the both of them to the best of her ability.
an alternate angle of Tana, lounging on the bench, glancing over to his fellow Warriors of Light with a mildly annoyed look.
2. Early Days
in the Solar, back when none of them knew what their futures would hold.

Syla, a male Viera, and Kiyo, a nonbinary Au Ra, are in bed shirtless together. Syla has Kiyo's arms pinned above their head with one hand and their chin held in the other. Kiyo is smirking in a smug manner up at him
a close up shot of the prior image, showing Syla smirking down at Kiyo as well.
a more aerial shot of Syla laying between Kiyo's legs and pinning their arms. Kiyo's smug expression is more visible.
i forgot to post this for Cake yesterday but uhhhhh happy belated v-day here's Kiyo and Syla having a bit of fun
#shardbearers
a nonbinary viera (they/them) asks a Miqo'te, "Do you have a name?"
the Miqo'te responds, "I've long forgotten my name. And no one else is alive to remember it."
the viera responds to her, "Well, if we are to be an agreeable covenant, I have to call you something."
the Miqo'te bows her head with her eyes closed.
what's in a name? (1/3)
#shardbearers
early valentines day gift for my love @/bundcake.bsky.social 💜 our two FFXIV OCs Vayne (they/them) and Gloom (she/her), just after forming their covenant.
#shardbearers every since i started thinking about Vysa having a Torgal sized dog companion it's just stuck in my brain. little baby Vysa get big doggy to go on adventures with her and protect her when her parents aren't there
Y'shtola, a white haired Miqo'te woman, and Kiyo, a black and white scaled Au Ra, sit on a black couch kissing each other. Y'shtola is straddled on Kiyo's lap.
another angle of the same characters but from slightly above them, showing Y'shtola's arm slung over Kiyo's shoulder.
a close up of Kiyo and Y'shtola kissing. Kiyo's eyes are barely open, too enthralled with their wife to look away from her.
their husband wasn't home so what else were they supposed to do but kiss on the couch
(Kiyo uses they/them)
#shardbearers
#shardbearers i need to remember to use Cake and i's tag for OCs
anyways its really funny how i made Kiyo scared of chocobos but then that sort of wound up evolving into "Kiyo is actually scared of most
large animals you are capable of riding on and they will insist on walking Everywhere"
#shardbearers maybe someday i'll remember to use the tag we made for this
#shardbearers
in Cake and i's canon, Tana wasnt actually present when they arrived in Ishgard
after the Bloody Banquet, he bailed on the Scions and said he wasnt going to put himself in mortal peril anymore for people he barely knew
Lirre on the other hand was weary, exhausted, -
a raen au ra with black and white scales lounging on a beach chair, looking slyly to someone out of view. they are wearing a pair of black cut off shorts and a barely there black tank top
a raen au ra with black and white scales sitting on a beach chair, looking behind them with their tail curled around their leg. they are wearing a pair of black cut off shorts and a barely there black tank top
a raen au ra with black and white scales lounging ass up on a beach chair, looking with a smirk to someone out of view. they are wearing a pair of black cut off shorts and a barely there black tank top
a raen au ra with black and white scales lounging ass up on a beach chair, looking with a smirk to someone out of view. it is of a different angle than the last one, more from the front, showing off their smirk more. they are wearing a pair of black cut off shorts and a barely there black tank top
fat tail friday? no problem !
(Kiyo uses they/them only please 🖤)

I still haven’t decided where to stick a Mothercrystal shard in Syla
After the four WoLs get resurrected during the Lahabrea confrontation they all wind up with a shard in them but I can’t figure out where is good
#Shardbearers
Viera warrior loses his family to the IVth Legion and swears revenge. Joins the resistance and is discharged when he tries an unauthorized assassination on Gabranth
He flees to Eorzea seeking help but finds himself at home with the Scions eventually #Shardbearers
ok i thought about this with Lirre this time
#shardbearers
Lirre likes to pretend no one ever truly "hurt her" but it was arguably Gaius who hurt her the worst. all of Lirre's childhood was spent under Garlean rule in Gyr Abania, and it was Gaius that commanded the strikes that eventually -
for Tana the first one is Miranonne, his mother. the emotional torment of being raised like a lamb to slaughter is something he will likely never fully recover from 100%, and he will absolutely never forgive her for it, even though she's already dead

Syla and Lirre pics bc i have been in the grips of their AU ship all week (this has NSFW pics in it be warned :3)
#Shardbearers
Good morning I’m thinking about Odyn so worn out after the Queen Eternal fight they just collapse
Right into Lamaty’i’s arms
#Shardbearers
I’m also thinking about how after she takes the role of Dawnservant, Lamaty’i being like like “I want you both to make your home here c:” to Odyn and Brynn
And Odyn just straight up faints
#Shardbearers
I think it’s funny the “little sun” scene for our canon is just Magnai being a loser while Y’shtola looks at him with confusion
With her WoL and grumpy gator lovers staring daggers at him
#Shardbearers
Y'shtola being more blind in Shardbearers canon is more sad bc her touching Syla a bit after getting stuck on the First because "I missed you" and just
finding his big new scar where he has to tell her he almost died without her
#Shardbearers
Y’shtola being pretty much blind in our canon is more focused on bc slowly forgetting the features on your husbands’ face, finding out he almost died from brushing up against a huge scar
The shape of his aether remains the same but the details change
#Shardbearers
#shardbearers funniest thing i think ive ever come up with for our canon is Bakool Ja Ja being absolutely terrified of Lirre
she kicked his ass right before Ihih'hana and he's been scared of her ever since
One of my favorite lil Odyn/Brynn/Wuk Lamat moments is just Odyn and Brynn hitting her with the “yeah we were held captive and forced to fight and treated like beasts but we’re fine now”
And she’s hitting them both with the fucking crying cat face
#Shardbearers
Our Odyn/Brynn/Lamaty’i canon is so funny bc Odyn and Brynn are together and she’s crushing on them both hard
And Odyn, completely oblivious, just like :3 wow I have a new buddy who wants to fight me
And she wants to get really really close okay!
#Shardbearers
Favorite tidbit of ARR Syla lore he him and Y’shtola are incredibly “everyone knows you like each other but you two”
Just cause they’re both so stubborn
#Shardbearers
You know I don’t think I’ve mentioned: back in SHB, Y’shtola mistaking Syla for a sin eater due to his aether made her feel Extremely Guilty and upset
Almost calling for one of your partners’ execution because you couldn’t recognize them on sight
#Shardbearers
G’raha had a Huge crush on Syla, but he was too buddy buddy with him and he never noticed and didn’t return his affection
He’s got two partners now so he’s not seeking Syla’s affections but also has extreme second hand embarrassment from himself
#Shardbearers
I think Syla’s forgiven him pretty mostly fully. He appreciated the hard work he puts in as atonement and knows he can be a good guy at heart
Meanwhile Odyn is like “sorry I tried to kill you we’re best friends now okay? :3”
#Shardbearers
(Left to right) Y’shtola, Kiyo & Syla enjoying a nice breakfast at the Last Stand. Kiyo is trying to steal part of Syla’s meal and he isn’t fighting back hard.
Alright chat, give me an excuse to ramble
