Summary
This is the story of a family torn asunder by the death of a father, and everything that came before. Featuring dad!Regis and a twin sister for Noctis.
This fic is two stories twisted together: one follows the game's timeline and tells the story of a prince and princess coming to terms with death and destiny, while the other is the story of their lives before and everything that leads up to the beginning of the game. As such, it features all of the chocobros and associated game-time characters, but also pre-game characters, like Regis and Clarus (Cor, Nyx, and others occasionally mentioned, but I don't tag them because they play small parts).
Warnings: Depression, mild references to a suicide attempt, thoughts of suicide.

Summary
This is not a happy ending. This is not the struggle until dawn. This is 10 years of falling further into darkness.
After bidding farewell to her twin brother, Reina Lucis Caelum is resigned to surviving ten long years of darkness awaiting his return, but with the rest of the royal line gone, all of Eos seems determined to dump Lucis in her lap: crown, ring, and all. It's a shame that no one thought to mention her estranged ancestor with an affinity for daemons who seems to know more about her than she does, herself.

Now, against her father's orders, she returns to Insomnia with Noctis and co in tow, armed with the knowledge of everything that will occur in the next two days. But the future is fluid and the waking world isn't quite the same as the Dream she's been living for ten years. Every choice she makes changes the future and this time she can't see it.

Summary
Insomnia is safe, Drautos and Emperor Aldercapt are dead, the sun has risen, and everyone is still alive, if a little worse for the wear. In spite of that, Reina Lucis Caelum can't smile. If the last ten years never happened, who is she really? Why does a Dream feel more real that reality? And how is she supposed to protect her friends and family from the Draconian and escape fate when she can't even remember where and when she is, sometimes?
