    Summary

    Verso lived through the fire, as did Alicia, but he didn't wake up. He remained unconscious, and when his family realised that he and Alicia had been found in the atelier during the fire, they realised that Verso has gone into the canvas.

    Aline went in after him, believing she could wake him up. She finds Verso, who doesn't remember anything. In his pain addled mind he ended up creating Lumiere, and a painted version of his family, and they were living together happily. Aline helps him remember, but all he could feel was the fire and the burning agony of his body, and so she paints over him and erases his memories again to keep him safe. Renoir then goes in to wake up his son himself, and drag his wife out the canvas, resulting in the Fracture. Expedition Zero goes out to search for their loved ones and rescue them, and inevitably find out what happened from Cleo. Now Verso has to stop his family from tearing apart his canvas, and try keep his mother from constantly erasing his memories to keep him compliant. It goes about as well as you might expect.

    (Basically, Verso lived, but is trapped in the canvas by his mother, and now has to deal with the horror of having his family raging war inside his canvas)

    Summary

    Adrift in an endless void, Clive Rosfield confronts the crushing weight of his failures and the past that was robbed from him. Haunted by memories of his shattered family and the ruins of Rosaria, he believes this his end—a fitting conclusion for a life of broken promises. Though a fleeting wish to undo it all lingers in the corners of his mind, his conviction remains, believing that there is no going back.

    But is it the end that awaits him?

    Or perhaps a new beginning?

    One that would change fate of Valisthea forever.

    Including the family that he failed to protect.

    (Heavily inspired by “Kindling the Flames” by SomebodyIUsetoKnow.)

    Summary

    Many assumptions were made during the reign of Archduke Elwin Rosfield by idealists and opportunists alike.

    Though after his death, his sons were deceived in thinking that their father's legacy would be utterly destroyed when the Regency fell into the hands of Dowager Duchess and her loyalists.

    Several years later, they would find their own way forward.

    Thrusted 300 years in the future, our hero gets a firsthand look at the world he directly (and indirectly) created. And how his name is celebrated...and abused.

    Summary

    Four gods, a handful of dead kings, the ghost of an oracle, and now the light of a dying star. One human body. Noctis kneels on the floor of the keep, collapsed forward with his forehead resting on the cool concrete for precious minutes, breathing labored and keening some high pitched, terrible sound. He wants to feel a hand on his shoulder and for someone to pull him away from the hurricane-force of the magic just at his back, he wants his teeth to stop ringing like his whole jaw’s a tuning fork.

    But it doesn’t. And no one does.

    Or, accepting boons from the gods comes with consequences. Noctis drifts further away. Gladio, Prompto, and Ignis can only watch.

    Summary

    PLEASE NOTE: this is re-write and expansion of the original tale that I posted previously. The entire thing has been updated with nearly 30K additional words and multiple new chapters.

    AU where the Northern Territories and Rosaria have been at war for a few years, with the two war Eikons, Shiva and Ifrit, as the centerpieces of battle. But what happens when their Dominants are stranded in the wilderness together? No Eikons. No political or battlefield maneuvers to guide them. They only have each other and an unexpected attraction to their greatest enemy.

    While the Eikons exist, as does magic, there is no Ultima, Blight, Curse or Mothercrystals in this.

    A slave am I, where chains clang.

    There is my resting place.

    Then came to me, my good beloved,

    And light up my gloomy heart,

    And make sweet my resting place.

    Summary


    Her Eikon, the second soul which she has carried around with herself since early childhood, has left her without a trace.
    And if Shiva is gone, then Clive, who had carried a piece of her as well-…

     

    Jill had really thought that she knows what despair and pain felt like. She had lived it, for fifteen long years. But right here, right now, she learns a new depth of it. It feels as if someone has rammed a dagger in between her ribs, aiming straight for her heart, and aiming true.

    As their star, Metia vanishes from the sky, Jill is convinced that Clive's life goes with it at first. But just as he has never give up on her, she will not abandon him now, either
    If he is out there still, she will find him.

    (Second part of the series. Could be read as a standalone, theoretically, will have some callbacks to spot if you read the first part.)

    Summary

    “I’m sorry to show up like this, Elwin, you were the first person to come to my mind”, his voice startled Clive, made him flinch, made his guts coil and swirl like snakes. It was deep, hoarse, very masculine and lower than he expected. It brought out sensations Clive only recently started to pay attention to. “You were my only trusted choice.”
    “It’s fine. Did you come through the town?”
    “Nay. Through the back roads. No one has seen me.”
    “Good. How may I help you, brother?”, Clive frowned at his dad, curious on why he would call someone who was not Uncle Byron a brother.
    “Last job didn’t go as planned, you see. I need to lay low for a while."

     

    ---

    More than a decade after his father helped an old friend, Clive meets Cid again.
