Summary
At 22, Clive Rosfield has his place in the world figured out. He is the First Shield, protector of his younger brother, and more importantly he is "nothing more than a knight" according to his mother.
He was fine with this life.
Like a storm, Lord Commander of Waloed Cidolfus Telamon arrives in Rosaria to make negotations in place of his King. Unaging, unyelding. The Dominant of Ramuh is dangerous, but what is more dangerous is what he brings with him. Something Clive has not had since the Pheonix rejected him all those years ago. . .
And the Lord Commander intends to keep what he has found.

Summary
Branded, mute, and left to die on the battlefield, Clive has survived three years in the Imperial front lines when most bearers don't last three months. But when the infamous Lord Commander of Waloed, Cidolfus Telamon, takes him prisoner instead of executing him, Clive finds himself caught in a dangerous new game. Now Clive must navigate his precarious position while guarding his most valuable secret—his true identity. In a world where allegiances shift like sand and trust comes at a deadly price, sometimes the most dangerous thing to surrender isn't your sword, but your heart.

Summary
"Hmm… You're a storyteller, so maybe you'll find some value in it. This story's probably the most interesting thing about me, after all. It starts like this: when I was a little kid, my mother was convinced I was a god."
Clive stared. The ice cubes in Joshua's drink clinked against each other.
"See? Hooked you right away."

Summary
Joshua’s first kill had been an accident. It was during a walk home from work in the dark of late November when he had been attacked by a man with a knife who demanded his money. Nothing like this had ever happened to him before, and the sheer surprise of it had caused him to act without thinking. Phoenix fire had burst out from within him, engulfing the entire alleyway in flames along with the man who had attempted to rob him. He had never known such fear.
Or such pleasure.

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
Set in an alternative timeline...
At the fall of Drake's Head, Joshua arrives in time to heal Cid from his mortal wounds - and steal Clive away to retake Rosaria in the name of their family.

Meanwhile, Cid has lost his self-control, and careens ever closer to the edge, wishing the world and all its evils to burn now that Clive is no longer by his side. With the Phoenix and Ramuh constantly at war with one another, Clive finds himself caught in the middle... and when Cid kidnaps Joshua, Clive has no choice but to answer the call, and see just why Cid would go through so much trouble for him - and if he has what it takes to meet Cid's demands.

Summary
“And yet these deliveries still come in every single day, and all from the same person nonetheless! Oh, and talking about that,” Desiree reached out behind the counter and shoved a handful of handwritten notes into the basket. “Here are the messages that came with the donations.” She giggled behind her hands. ”If I didn’t know any better, I would say you have gained yourself an admirer Cid!”
Clive dipped his head and spluttered. “…It will eventually pass.” As they all do.

Clive gained a mysterious, kind-hearted, and very generous patron.

Summary
Cid is the host of a late night call-in radio show with a lame name and a nearly as lame rotation of classic rock (read:dad rock). He loves smoking cigars in the studio and giving cheeky advice to women who call in.
Clive works the closing shift at a bar where he doesn't care to get cozy with his coworkers and he's staring to realize that he's getting good tips because of his looks and not for the drinks he makes. He tends to put on Cid's show while he's doing dishes and cleaning floors after last call.
Then one night Clive loses a bet he shouldn't have made and he has to call Cid's show.
Except tonight is Lover's Day and the station is running a charity event where callers are asked to describe the perfect date to win a contest.
The prize? A date with Cid himself.- Language:

Summary
His father once told him: In situations like this, it was best to wait. Let a fire simmer to a burning inferno, Elwin told when he first took up the sword, and never doubt that fire spreads. His father wanted to keep them safe, promising to come for them if they were ever caught. Clive never told his father, but he knew the truth: an abductor was more likely to keep Joshua alive than him.
As his mother often reminded him, what worth did he have?

Summary
(Set in an modern day AU)
If Anabella Lesage's death had done at least one good thing, it was bring her sons together after five long years apart - nevermind that her menace was what had driven them apart in the first place.
Clive is ecstatic to finally be reunited with his brother after so long, and he and Cid welcome the younger man to stay with them for as long as he'd like. Initially hesitant, Joshua accepts, though that doesn't mean he's ready for all of his wounds to be on full display. Past, present, and future, there is still a lot of healing to be done between them. Can Cid and Clive, who guided each other through their darkest moments, do the same for the younger Rosfield? Or is there simply too much history there to overcome?
