Summary
Noctis takes note.
Ever since the fat kid quite literally fell into his life, Noctis had filed the encounter away neatly into his brain. It was a thing he has been trained to do: remember people, remember names, remember positions. Remember promises, allegiances, oaths. All the things that could win him favour or make him enemies when it came the time for him to take the crown.
He doesn’t do anything with the information except keep it, just in case. But now, Prompto Argentum, for better or worse, is on his radar.

Summary
The sun is warm on Ignis’ face as he stands at the window of the hotel room in Lestallum. He stands there so long he can sense the sun drop out of the sky, the shadow of evening drawing the warmth away.
He hears Gladio preparing for his mercy run: a round-trip to the Crown City for medications that will ease Prompto's pain.
Gladio comes to stand beside him. It's a few moments before he speaks, and when does his voice is loaded with grief. "I don’t think he’s got more than three days in him."
They are long past hiding their grief from each other. Ignis doesn't move his face away from the last of the sun's heat, and has to force his voice out of hiding when he says, "I don’t think he has even that."
(In which Ignis and Gladio once more see a brother to the other side.)

Summary
Prompto is supposed to attend the ceremony Ignis organized for the anniversary. For the Dawn. Noct’s official funeral, technically, since only the three of them had been there the first time around, and Noctis didn’t belong to just him, or them, anymore. Prompto promised he’d be there just before sunrise as long as he didn’t have to say anything, promised he’d stand up with Ignis and Gladio and try to honor Noctis the way he deserved. Actually pay attention to the sunrise with them this time, instead of burying his face in blood-soaked clothes and crying like the world’s ending instead of starting over.
But some asshole, dozens of them, all around Insomnia, starts lighting fireworks. Bright bursts of sound and color, all through the night before, reminders that everyone on this planet is happy that Noct is dead and Prompto’s only got two options left: explode or run.
So he runs.

Summary
"When the time came to slay the Accursed, the Dawn King and his Crownsguard made their way back to where they’d started in the heart of the ruined Crown City. There, King Noctis battled the Accursed and his Starscourge, and with the magic of his ancestors he sealed it away, placing himself as the key to the lock on the Darkness. As long as he sits on the throne, the Scourge remains sealed, and all of Eos is safe from it."
---
The Starscourge can never be truly destroyed, only sealed. Noctis Lucis Caelum's life isn't sacrificed—instead, it is used, his lifeforce employed to hold the darkness at bay.
The legend of the Dawn King, eternally pinned to his throne and kept alive by the magic of his ancestors, is born.

Summary
This dumb kid. This dumb, idiotic kid with the big title and the hopes of a country on his shoulders. He’s gonna need to grow up and out of this attitude, but when?
He’s gone from shielding a little girl from the wrath of her asshole big brother, to hiding the pain flares that leave him incapacitated, to sending himself spiraling into stasis trying to make enough curatives for the Glaives on duty, to this. What’s next?
(Noctis takes the hit for Prompto.)
