The Price of Craving by Finksalion
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo
04 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
The city of Ravka is cold, hostile, as brutal as winter and just as unforgiving. Corruption blows through the streets like the freezing winds from the North, bleak futures held in the ruthless hands of the Second Army Criminal Enterprise and the many other rotten businesses and street gangs that hold power over those that choose to call this city home. The current rumours gracing the streets of Ravka whisper that the Second Army has competition in the guise of the growing Sun Summoner Gang, and the Darkling doesn't like competition or disruption to his carefully laid out plans. But when he does finally meet this so called Santka for the first time, she is so much more than he expected her to be and that is dangerous... and so very compelling...
Welcome to my take on a Darklina Mob Boss AU, thanks for stopping by, please enjoy the chaos :D <3

Summary
Sapphire Deep, Warrior of Light, is enjoying the Starlight Festivities in the Ala Mhigan Quarter post-liberation and is certainly not avoiding a certain rogue with hazel eyes and a tortured past, for whom she absolutely does not hold romantic feelings. Unfortunately – or fortunately – both of them may not be able to run for much longer, and maybe it’s time for them to lift the masks and show each other the truth within.

Rascals, Scoundrels, Villains, and Knaves by Finksalion for Shattered_Matrix
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XIV

Summary
Pirate Captain Camilla of the Seventh Dawn is largely content with her life on the waves, pillaging the ships of the rich and providing the booty to the poor (well, her crew, who mostly started poor...). There's only one small problem, and that's Haurchefant Greystone, Captain of the Silver Fuller, another pirate who seems hell-bent on muscling in on her role as the greatest pirate to sail the Five Seas.
If that's not bad enough, there's a rumour that the great sea dragon Nidhogg has emerged once more. But maybe that's the haul she needs to set her ship back on its course and leave Haurchefant in her wake once and for all.

Summary
We're here again, September rolls around quick, and the wonderful Moen is once again running the FFXIV Writes event for the month of September! Check it out here for more details and to join the FFXIV no perfectionism writing fun :D <3
So this year I'm doing something a bit different, honestly I really don't have the time to participate but I still wanna, so this year we're going with thirty; thirty days, thirty prompts, thirty words per fill. Each day will have the prompt and the 30-word fill, and while I've marked this as mature, I highly doubt I'll be getting that graphic with 30 words, but I will add CWs if I think they're required.
Oh, and if you're wondering on the title of this one:
oh dark thirty
1. Some unspecified hour in the early morning (implies an unpleasant time to be awake)Hope you enjoy this and feel free to shower Moen with love for making such an awesome event!

Summary
Holder of the mysterious WARRIOR Program, Finksalion Silversource is finally returning home to New Doma, but not as she might have thought when she left four years ago. No, she returns as the somewhat willing prisoner of Zenos yae Galvus, heir to Garlemald Technologies, after offering herself to save the life of her lover back in Neo-Ishgard. She told herself it was worth it, one life for another, but nothing can prepare her for what lies ahead, and what she ends up entangled in once she returns to the place of dear dreams and distant memories and the crimson blood of so many she held dear.
One thing remains true though, she will find a way to deal with the demon inside her once and for all, and she will seek vengeance against those that have done her wrong.

Summary
“Heh. Well at least when I drink it doesn’t look like a Baritine Croc trying to sup at a waterfall.” Estinien growled, eyes burning bright as he swayed in his chair. Given the amount that they had drunk during this ridiculous farce of a drinking competition – Haurchefant Greystone’s fault, naturally – Hilda was surprised that he was still upright. Haurchefant had left with a couple of her hounds on his arm earlier, but something had kept the Azure Dragoon here tonight, well past how long he would usually socialise, and she had a suspicion about what that might be.

Hang the Stars in the Sky by Finksalion
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
29 Apr 2024

Summary
With every trailblaze mission that Stelle completes, she learns more about herself, her companions, the universe, and the timeless echoes of Aeons leaving shivering traces of consequence in their wake. At first it feels no different upon the Xianzhou Luofu, but then she learns about the past of her dearest friend, Dan Heng, and everything she yearned for is thrown into disarray...
Dan Heng never wanted to come back to his 'homeland', the Luofu, the people who kept him imprisoned and tortured for something his past reincarnation did, something so horrific that no one will speak of it. But as his memories flood back, he can no longer deny that running has done nothing to help. Nothing except push that which is most precious to him away. Is fate always going to be so cruel to him or is this just karma, once more twisting the knife...
Blade cares for nothing but vengeance against those that made him into what he is today. A price will be extracted for him losing the one he held so dear, the one he wished to save more than any other. But when Elio's script calls for something different, for reconciliation, he is powerless to resist...
And what's with that pink haired girl and her indomitable optimism anyway?

Summary
Finksalion Silversource, a jeweller in the massive sprawling metropolis that is Eorzea, apparently has an important Choice to make. One that - if the mysterious couple from her dreams are to be believed - could result in the end of the Three Realms.
Whatever they are.
No one asked if she wanted to make this Choice (she doesn't) and no one is offering any help either. All she knows is that because she is the descendant of the Warrior Azem, the one who fought for the Mortal Realm in a mystical war that resulted in something called the Sundering, she now has to choose between the Heavens and the Hells somehow.
As if that isn't bad enough, two new complications enter her life: Aymeric, the suave owner of a new club downtown, and Estinien, a tattoo artist that's moved in to the flat next door. Both seem to to hold a strange otherworldliness but surely - surely - this Choice has nothing to do with them? Right? RIGHT?
Yep, it's a Demon/Angel AU. That's it, that's what spun me off on this wild tangent and I can't say I mind either. Come join me on this strange, whimsical and irreverent adventure to watch the end of the world, I'm sure it'll all work out!

Summary
...there is something different about the act of only receiving, of allowing oneself to simply take, and it’s one that he largely ignores, considering himself unworthy of such attention.
You know better.
He is worthy. He who has lived for centuries, who has watched his most treasured friends rip themselves apart and then drift off into the universe. He who was left behind to pick up the pieces and mourn every one of them, what they were, and what they became. He who considers his duty of the utmost importance and denies everything of himself to instead pour it into the ship he cares for so carefully, so deeply. He who will give every atom of his being for his friends, his charge, his people. And all with that soft smile on his lips, the small crinkles of happiness in the corners of his eyes, all without regret and with the earnest wish to see the people around him content.

Summary
Finksalion Silversource, the Warrior of Light, has returned safely to Etheirys after her ordeal at the end of everything, only to find she has a more significant challenge to overcome. One that may be more than she can handle... But she's never been a quitter, and perhaps her opponent may find that he's bitten off more than he can chew this time too.

Summary
Miqo'te Warrior of Light D'fhiri Jinh has saved the world on multiple occasions, travelled far and wide, including to alternative reflections of the source, through space and through time. Now she wishes for something for herself, even if for a little longer, as she finds love in the arms of G'raha Tia. They've both agreed to keep their relationship a secret from their friends, just for a little bit as they find their feet together, but the course of true love never does *quite* run smoothly...

Summary
Yeah.. uh-huh… listen I can explain… I am maybe a teeny bit obsessed with this game at the moment and the many husbandos and waifus may well be part of that. So… uh… here, have some part-dragon smut (throws it in your face and runs before you can catch me and demand I explain)…
Note that I tend to play fast and loose with canon – please forgive this humble author their vagaries and hope you enjoy this fun little romp anyway! :D

Summary
Welcome to my FFXIV Writes Collection for 2023, which I have decided to entirely slot into my Cyberpunk FFXIV AU series, Aetherdreams of Neon, for funsies :D
I'm going to mostly try for it to be independent interludes, none too spoilery or involved, so you shouldn't need to read the rest of the series but do forgive me my small indulgences into this world that I love so much... sometimes you just gotta feed yourself...
Note that ratings and content warnings may change as the prompts continue on, the first chapter is the table of contents where I'll also have ratings of each chapter/fill so please do feel free to check it out and skip over the ones that are not to your liking!
Thanks for reading! <3

Summary
*** WARNING: SPOILERS UP TO AND INCLUDING ENDWALKER MAY APPEAR WITHIN THIS FIC – PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED ***
Lam Lha, most recent addition to the convocation of fourteenth as Azem, will always be a wanderer at heart. She supposed that’s why her mentor and former Azem recommended her to the post; even though it was difficult to stay in one place, even though she was an outsider. Not that she cared overly about her status as ‘other’; with this position she was afforded the chance to travel freely, to document, to explore, to help - more than she ever expected when she first came to this city so many years ago.
Travelling the realm with her faithful companion Apidaela and stepping back to Amaurot every now and then to provide her reports to the convocation, she also never really expected to find such rich companionship within the city itself: her closest friends – cantankerous and whimsical as they were – serving to ground her and bind her to the city she never felt that comfortable in, giving her a reason to return time and again.
Her reminder that not all who wander are doomed to be lost.

Summary
Sick of Estinien's teasing when she visits Radz-At-Han, the Warrior of Light Finksalion Silversource has planned her own retribution which, luckily for her, should result in a satisfactory conclusion for the both of them. She doesn't quite anticipate the consequences she receives, but she's not complaining!

Summary
Emet-Selch has lost everything; his city, his home, his two soulmates. But he still has hope that he can fix this, that he can bring them both back, that he can restore his world back to greatness. He'll go to any lengths to do so, but at what point do his actions go far past anything he thought he could be capable of? And what will he do when fate throws him yet another curveball and the once comforting soulmarks on his skin become his greatest consternation?
Contains spoilers up to and including Endwalker, this is a short(ish) exploration into the fall of Emet-Selch with a soulmate twist and a healthy dose of angst, regret and probably some murder.

Yeah so this was really just a laugh and a giggle and me wanting to play around with workskins while submitting a fic for the Bookclub's January Top Trope event - please do enjoy the shenanigans and maybe some hijinks and possibly a small amount of hootenanying :D <3
Also, for those that use e-readers and the like, I'm adding the normal text underneath each screen, please feel free to use either format to your comfort levels but I guess there might be a chance that you see it twice or the formatting is funky? Sorry about that! :D <3

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Finksalion for bloomwritesthings
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XIV

Summary
“Why were you throwing snowballs at me?” He demanded bluntly, and Haurchefant’s smile widened in brilliant, blinding resolve.
“You looked grumpy, so I thought it might cheer you up!” Haurchefant replied, his smile wavering as Estinien’s scowl deepened at the answer given.
“He always looks like that, don’t mind him. Resting grump face.” Aymeric supplied, smiling wryly at the scathing glance Estinien threw his way.
“Oi. You think throwing snowballs at someone will cheer them up?” Estinien asked then, a silvered eyebrow arching up as his gaze slid back to Haurchefant.
“Well, maybe not you I guess, but I sure found it fun!” Haurchefant replied cheerily, and Aymeric couldn’t help but smile wider even as Estinien eyebrow flicked up even further, somehow.For bloomwritesthings, I hope you enjoy this little smutty interlude, I sure had a blast writing it and thank you for the wonderful (splendid, even) grouping!
