I've wondered a lot recently: how can these evil, hateful people who literally want "others" dead call themselves Christians. How do they not see their hypocrisy?

I found this video to be informative and explained a lot.

Rating: Teen
Words: 1595
Summary: G'raha was content to enjoy Jihe'to's presence from the shadows, acting as protector and secret admirer with the object of his affections blissfully unaware of his existence. On a routine trip to visit said miqo'te at the Botanists' Guild, fate decided to put an opportunity before him that he can't refuse.

Notes: Originally posted to AO3 on 1/22/24 and now being archived here! Original notes: This was originally apart of my XIV Write 2023 collection, but felt like it would be better as its own piece! Original notes below:

[Me using multiple prompts in one sitting YET AGAIN? Yeahhhhhhh get ready for that to be an ongoing thing. xD

Prompts in question: Fish Out of Water, Hamper, Grave, Fulsome, Suit

I have to be honest/transparent and say that this is my first time openly posting OC x Canon stuff for the FFXIV fandom. G'raha x Jihe'to, aka "StarFlower", is a ship that's been pretty close to my heart ever since I put them together, and before today I never talked about them out in the open b/c I'm nervous goof who wished they could be as brave as the other G'raha shippers. xD Today I wanna break out of my comfort zone and give a snippet of their pre-relationship b/c I love them both and said screw caution, be cringe freely! xD

Ain't the most polished draft b/c after a while I said "screw it, I just want this done and out of my WIPs", so apologies in advance for any scuff.]

****

It was like listening to birdsong in the midst of a beautiful summer day.

Ah, that was it. That was the best way G’raha could describe Jihe’to’s singing.

I’ve known for a WHILE that I’ve needed to REALLY cut back on a lot of the doomscrolling I was doing on WAY too many sites. It’s done bad stuff for my mental in the past, and while I thought I could get around it using app blockers, I had to really put my foot down this week when so much doomscrolling about current politics and how vicious people have become to each other had me in TEARS.

It was tough, but I had to take the plunge, say “fuck all that”, and delete every single app.

That in conjunction with finding other things to do outside of being on my phone and therapy have been working out thus far, so I’m hopeful. I just got really tired of feeling so sad and numb, and felt like I was being my own worst enemy in that regard.

I’ve drastically reduced the sites I used, and the only social media I plan to use now is Dreamwidth, Pillowfort, and Discord (at least until Revolt takes off xD).

Wish me luck!! Here’s hoping. 🤞❤️

Final Chapter: Siza'li

The next item in your trunk of wonders is a broken, rose gold earring. It would pass for an earring that those of Ul’dahn descent would wear, though it appears to be missing its jewel in the center of the overall intricate design. Probably why it was discarded to begin with, you surmised, though you wouldn’t have to wait long to see what attachment still had its hold on it.

Notes: Originally posted to AO3 on 11/11/22 and now being archived here! Original notes: My brain said I should make an "x reader" series for all of my FFXIV OCs, so this is the first of those. I plan for these to be short and sweet, so apologies in advance for the length. I preface this by saying that this is written out of pure self-indulgence and isn't mean to be a one to one match for your own personality/actions/demeanor etc. Simply put, if "x reader/ Y/N" content isn't your cup of tea for whatever reason, feel free to pass on by!

Chapter 1: Jihe'to

The first item in the trunk of wonders you’ve found is a sunflower brooch. It’s small and missing a few of its petals, but you can’t help but smile at how cute it is. With no time to further speculate on its potential owner, the echo immediately propels you into your first memory.

Your vision opens to the view of a serene sunset overlooking a grassy field. Thanks to the power of the echo, you seem to be looking through the eyes of the vision’s owner, awakening with a small yawn.

Notes: Originally posted to AO3 on 5/3/24 and now being archived here! Original notes: Couldn't let V-day slip by without a tensy bit of angst, NOW COULD I? ;3 Anyways, enjoy!! ^ o^)/

****

No matter how much time had passed, G’raha could always compare Jihe’to to the living personification of a bright, beautiful summer day.

Jihe’to had always been a beacon of love and comfort to everyone he’d come across, soothing the uncertainty of everyone he held dear, rekindling their hope, and reaffirming G’raha’s adoration.

Now, as the End of Days turned the skies blood red and ravaged the land, G’raha could only watch in horror as that beautiful smile was robbed from them and warped into something so sinister, so unlike the beaming Keeper he’d come to know and love, and replaced with whatever the scheming Fashonti matriarch wanted it to be, all in the name of creating a “perfect world”.

Rating: Mature (Light angst, angst with a happy ending)
Words: 2,482
Summary: General Vanrouge gets more than he bargained for when he goes to bother a certain healer in the middle of the night, but maybe it's just what he needs.

Notes: Originally posted to AO3 on 12/27/23 and now being archived here! Original Notes: It's the holiday season and we're fresh on the heels of another Book 7 update, which means I am ONCE AGAIN plagued with visions of the Old Fae Men pining! xD Yet another chapter in their story that I've been working on for some time (and struggled with for one reason or another), and I'm finally ready to just yeet it somewhere. xD Without further ado, enjoy!


****

Lilia is used to being awake at this hour. As he takes to the shadows of the castle halls with a bottle of wine in tow, he would much rather be what bumps in the night instead of trying to force himself to sleep. Sleep was a means to an end for him, and any opportunity to avoid the dreamless darkness of his mind was a good one.

In his typical mischief maker fashion, he decided that instead of drinking alone and staring off at the moon, he’ll bother another fae that he knew would be up at this hour. The thought of getting that man to actually relax for once and not work himself into a stupor was a fun prospect.

****

“Lilia? Did you hear what I asked you?”

Of course he didn’t. Lilia was too busy relaxing on his side in the middle of the forest, tracing the freckles on Fafnir’s exposed thighs with his eyes and trying to make out what constellations he could create on the other man’s pale skin. A small glass dish that lie between them—filled with delicious fruits—was all the cover he needed to make himself seem lost in thought. Fafnir called his name once more, and this time it was enough for him to meet his gaze.

Notes: Originally posted to AO3 on 3/24/24 and now being archived here! Original Notes: Of COURSE it wouldn't be long before I wrote about these old men again!

“Ser Fafnir? Do you have a moment?”

Lilia immediately answers on the other side of the wooden door as soon as the soldier’s done knocking, though it comes out as more of an irritated snarl than a formal response thanks to the how loud the knocking was. “He doesn’t. State your purpose.”

Ongoing Changes:
➤ I mentioned it in my yap the other day but check out my "Archived from Ao3" tag for all the stuff I'm archiving from AO3 to here!! I'm yeeting over a lot of oneshots first, THEN I'll move on to some of the chaptered fics I have there!! Not sure if I'm going to take my canon character-focused fics down from there yet, but I'll upload em here for folks to read em anyways just in case!!

➤ Decided to make an "event" tag!! This'll be for various writing events I submitted stuff for like OC x Canon Week, so poke at it if you see it around!!

Upcoming Changes:
➤ I was also looking into creating a sort of ship tag for all my ships? Something like "ship: [oc name][canon name]" for example!! I always wanna try to my my journal as easy to navigate as I can, and I was randomly thinking like "what if folks wanted to read certain fics for any of my OC x Canon ships"? I feel like I should simply so they're easier for me to find if/when I need to, but anyways there's that! xD

With a slight snowstorm raging on outside, Lilia finds himself curled up in thick blankets in a criminally soft bed, reminiscing on something a soldier told him a while back as he settles into the darkness. It’s the one thing he can get his mind to focus on that isn’t about how tired he is.

Leona Kingscholar wasn’t the type of man you could easily impress. The fancy gimmicks and flashy techniques often fell short in favor of other things that caught his eye. It’s not like he makes it easy to discern what the things that would light a spark in him are, but it becomes quite obvious once it’s known.

Rating: Gen
Words: 1,693
Prompt: OC x Canon Week 2024's Day 2 Prompt: "Mundane Tasks"
Summary: Malleus is enjoying his late night reading while taking care of a few loads of laundry. He thinks to do so undisturbed, but the “disturbance” he ends up getting is better than anything he could’ve hoped for.

Notes: Originally posted to AO3 on 3/24/24 and now being archived here! Original notes: Malleus said something in his Platinum birthday story that got into my brain and made me write this so HUZZAH you get “mutual pining but they’re both INCREDIBLY oblivious and too scared to ruin their friendship”! That and lbvs, I just needed the serotonin.

(Yes, the title is based on a song. No, I am not accepting criticism at this time. xD)

****

There was something so perfect about the peace and quiet of the Diasomnia laundry room at 1am.

While Malleus was intrigued by the hustle of bustle of the dorm during the day, the waves of dorm members that often crowded around him would make even the most minute task increasingly difficult. If it wasn’t Sebek screaming at his heels, it was his supposed fan club offering to do basic chores that he had no issue doing himself. It felt like being back home in Briar Valley, confined to a castle where your every breath is dictated with no room for your input.

Others might not mind the luxury of delegating every task to another person, but the more Malleus was here at Night Raven College, the more he got a taste of the free will that he had ever only dreamed of. Where it once didn’t bother him, he now found himself much more assertive when wanting to do something for himself.
