obligatory 💙 for the kiss meme but also 💕!!! any combination of your bard trio. also 💜 for kar'a and hyth
You are a menace and I love you. lol Sorry for the delay, but here's all three!! A bit smaller each, but I think they all came out to be about the length of one of the prior prompts once combined!
obligatory 💙drunken kiss / tipsy for the kiss meme but also
((Micro-fic for this one. lol))
The bottles swam in front of Karo’s vision as she tried to focus on the Doman Prince across the table from her. This was probably not a wise choice the night before battle, but, she had needed to unwind, and for once felt safe enough to do so in the company she was with.
A long blink later, and she realized she was being carried to her bedroll in the corner near the twins. Hien pressed a kiss to her forehead as he tucked the blanket around her, pointedly leaving a glass of water just within arms reach–but not close enough to spill if she flailed in her sleep. Curling onto her side, his watchful smile was the last thing she remembered before dawn.
💕kissing somewhere other than lips!!! any combination of your bard trio. also
The warm water was a very welcome and pleasant change from the chilly air of Sharylan, and Karo couldn’t get enough. The fact that it was completely private and isolated away from all responsibilities was a boon, and the overwhelming thought that all this land was hers, well, that was a thought for another day. There had been enough guilt for pushing and pulling everyone on the Star as far as she had–yes to save literally everyone–but it didn’t make the flexing of that power feel any better. Getting rewarded for it in this fashion was–a little unsettling–yet the benefits were starting to wear down at her frugal mind.
“You, my dear, are not supposed to be thinking that hard right now,” the words were spoken after strong arms bore her to the surface of the water, wrapping around her and lazily keeping them both afloat. An affectionate kiss was nuzzled into her neck by Thancred, as she belatedly realized that her lack of paying attention had led to her quietly slipping underwater while she was thinking. Not that this was a problem with the blessing of the kami, however, it was a tad embarrassing.
G’raha glided over to where they were floating, butting heads gently with her, and kissing Thancred on the cheek. They both had of course come with her when Tataru had dropped her off on the island initially, seeing as she was still technically recovering. This was a last little adventure for the three of them before having to buckle down on more serious work–Thancred going exploring with the ever patient Urianger, and G’raha starting to take up full time duties with the Students of Baldesion once more.
For now though, it was time to enjoy the sun, and her loves–so that was what she planned to do.
💜 surprise kiss / impulsive kiss for kar'a and hyth
Amethyst eyes popped open as Ikarus leaned over her friend and lover, a good-natured scowl crossing her face.
“That sight of yours makes it very hard to surprise you, did you know?” Closing the gap, she finished the motion, kissing him as he chuckled.
“Sorry, little bird,” gracefully, she sank the rest of the way to the ground next to Hythlodaeus, curling up around him as he wrapped an arm around her. It had taken her longer than she liked to admit to find him, hidden away in a favorite clearing in the part near his office. Said office was of course the first place she looked, it being one of his working days, but she found the room empty besides abandoned concepts, yet to be reviewed.
She wasn’t supposed to be in Amaurot currently, as she was assigned to a task half the star away to survey the farms there. The rest of her friends and compatriots in the field were scattered for the time being, busy with their own missions, so she had been alone.
And alone was not how she wanted to be this night–for it was night where she had teleported from, bleary-eyed, and desiring comfort. It was a silly thing to feel so lonely when she was so respected and cared for when out in the world–yet here she was. Desiring someone to call her Ikarus again, not Azem.
When she awoke, Hyth had already slipped away, most likely to return to his daily duties, however, she wasn't alone. Emet-Selch, Hades, sat a few feet away, guarding her while she slept, oblivious to the world around her. How like Hythlodaeus to get one lover to watch the other. Her co-worker was reading, his own reports it looked like, so still not off the clock despite being dragged away from his desk.
Rolling over, Kar'a crawled the few feet to his side, peeking over his shoulder as he scowled at her–not as fiercely as he used to, but still at least pretending to be annoyed.
"Thank you," she leaned her head on his shoulder for a moment as he sighed with great exaggeration.
"Thank your partner in mischief," he turned back to his work as she chuckled.
"Ah, but you did come when he asked, so my thanks shall go to you," her childhood friend sighed again as her spirits rose. Moving quickly, she pressed a kiss to his cheek before he could jerk away, teleporting away immediately after. As the park disappeared around her, she could see him turn to watch her, expression softening to an exasperated fond smile.

4) Off the Hook
((this is a direct continuation of yesterday's, so enjoy! ^_^ I'm trying not to worry about word count this time around and just write till I run out of time/am happy with where I am with what I have down. Seems to be working so far!))
The pack of predators had been subdued–either fled, or unfortunately returned to the Star. Ikarus breathed deep of the air, her weapons finally settling on her back, unneeded at last. Hades–Emet-Selch–was cleaning his own sword magically, before banishing it to wherever he kept it with a snap of his fingers–dramatic movement ingrained even with an audience of one.
“Well, now that that unpleasantness is done, it’s time to get back,” his eyes narrowed as he looked her over, new wounds gracing her frame, and the ones garnered before he had been summoned reopened with her exertions.
“And you’re coming with me,” before she could protest, his magic and woven itself around her, binding her in place before being whisked through the aether alongside him. They unsurprisingly landed back in Amaurot, though in her own apartment, which did startle her. It had been some time since he had last been there, and his accuracy was frightening.
“Don’t move.” The order was almost growled, as she stood in the middle of her quarters, purple aether swirling where he had disappeared once more. It seemed she wasn’t as off the hook for dragging him a quarter way around the Star to rescue her as she thought. Ikarus–Azem–contemplated moving to one of her chairs, but before the thought was even completed, Emet was back, their shared lover beside him.
“Take care of her,” a gentle push to Hythlodaeus’ back had him stumbling towards her, as Emet smirked, and with a snap of his fingers, was gone once more. The sequence had stunned her into silence, the beat of the clock the only sound besides their breathing for several long moments. Hyth finally shook himself out of his shock, looking at her with understanding.
“Oh little bird, what did you do to yourself!” he was already singing under his breath when he reached her, hands hovering over the nicks and scratches that he could see. The gentle touch of his magic washed over her, wounds and clothing alike mending under his ministrations. He liked to say that he didn’t bring enough to their little lopsided trio in terms of might, but she felt it was more potent than anything either Hades or herself did.
“Nothing a little aether won’t heal,” she smiled up at him, feeling much better, and pulling him down into a kiss.
“Now, I guess I have an evening to recuperate on orders. Shall we make the most of it before I head back out?” Kar’a received her answer in actions, not words, as Hythlodaeus pulled her closer with a smile, embracing her once more with vigor.

3) Free Day 1
((I decided that I'm going to use at least a few of these free days to finish the prompts that I hadn't gotten around to finishing/posting! So, here's one that had me gasping at the various ideas that sprung up, including this one. [seriously, I had like 4 different ideas for this one]. Have some Kar'a and Hades Forgiveness thanks to @yzeltia ))
Ikarus gasped as she pulled herself up onto the rock, the howls of her hunters close. Too close. This wasn’t how the trip was supposed to go, and she almost regretted not prepping more before leaving the city. She hadn’t been sitting in the seat of Azem very long, but had instantly chosen chaos–immediately leaving after her appointment for the wide open road. The stack of paperwork sitting on the desk as she left and sent a shiver down her spine–Venat had not cleaned up before stepping down.
There had been one other reason for leaving so quickly. Emet-Selch. Hades. Whatever she was supposed to call him now that she was his equal on the council. It had been years since they had actually spoken, Hythlodaeus and Venat being their only connection. At this point she couldn’t even remember what the argument was over, just that it had shattered the life-long relationship that they had–only that it was something to do with a council decision that she didn’t agree with and that he had put forward as an idea.
The rumor from Hyth that he had backed Venat’s decision to promote her to the Seat of Azem had startled her into remembering that Hades always did try to think logically and without emotion–especially when it came to work related items. She supposed with how much she had worked as a Word of Azem under Venat that it shouldn’t be a surprise that she was a candidate for the position, but it was startling to hear from him nonetheless.
Which brought her back to her current predicament. Her leg was cut fairly badly, and she needed time to let the healing magic kick in. Shields could only do so much as she sat heavily, watching the pack circle, as best she could. Weaving in and out of the tall grass, their natural camouflage concealed their true numbers when she tried to count them. There was nothing else for it then. She needed help.
There was only one that was usually willing to teleport to her side, one that had the magic to whisk himself home afterwards. Loathe as she was to call upon him, there wasn’t much choice left, and she let the magic fly. It had always been a part of her, the ability to call and summon those that she needed most to her side. The tendril of magic hung in the air as she was unsure if the call would be answered–the circle glowing at her side.
The runes burst into blinding light as the magic activated, a moment later grey robes brushed her leg. His topaz eyes took in the scene, before resting on her wounds for a moment, adjusting his grip on the greatsword he had already drawn.
Hades had answered her call. Sighing in relief, the shields drew in as Ikarus–Azem–pulled in her aether to work on the wounds, before accepting the outstretched hand tugging her to her feet.
“You came.”
“Of course.” and that was that. Time shifted once more, and despite everything, they moved as one, as they had so many times before, and most likely would again. Her weapons spun around them, weaving their deadly protective dance, as she threw her head back and laughed. All was right on the star once more, forgiveness granted, and goals aligned once more–at least for now.
#ffxiv#FFXIVWrite2023#kar'azem#emet selch#ask me!#I've had it written for over a day#just needed those pesky screenshots.#lol#thank you for this ask#like. my brain went NUTS#this was the tame idea. ;-)

❤️ first kiss / realization (for either combo? for both? whichever takes your interest)
You get a Kar'a/Hyth! ^_^ (because I realize I've already done 2/3 First kiss fics already for the trio. lol)
Ikarus could tell she was being followed. To be fair, he wasn’t trying that hard not to be detected, and she was trained by Azem to notice that type of thing, especially outside of the city where things weren’t perfectly manicured and kept tidy. She had shed her mask at least a malm ago, and had decided to not lead her follower to her hideaway outside the city and instead, conjured a new outfit while striding through the forest. Azem–Venat–had asked her to check on one of her compatriots near the coast, and Ikarus had gladly–and quickly complied. She had realized after she had left that she had forgotten to tell her new paramour that she was leaving. This didn’t seem to be much of a problem now since he was the one following her.
As they had progressed further into the forest, and further away from the wide clear paths that led into Amaurot, she realized that she had been gaining some distance on him, so she slowed her steps to see what he would do–and maybe just how far he was willing to go. Hythlodaeus was an interesting one, having sought her out “by virtue of the color and vibrancy of her soul” he told her just the other evening. His soul sight was matched only by one other that Ikarus knew, and they hadn’t met just yet. Hythlodaeus and Ikarus though had fallen in stride with each other as if they had known each other for years instead of days, immediately getting into mischief around the city whenever they were together.
His soul sight was how he was following her she had figured out, knowing that he didn’t have the forestry knowledge to track her in any other way. This made for an interesting conundrum in her head, for she wanted to stop and surprise him and he would just stumble upon her in the path, however, if he was having to watch her via aether, he would know instantly that she had stopped and perhaps would also turn back.
So she did the only logical thing she could think of, and spun on her heel and sprinted at his location.
The strangled startled cry at this move gave her a better pinpoint, and using a bit of aether to boost her speed, she was standing in front of a very wide-eyed Hythlodaeus not a moment later.
“Hello,” her arms crossed as she watched his thoughts try to catch up with the revelation that she was suddenly in front of him, instead of out of visual range well ahead of him. Her blue eyes sparkled with amusement as she attempted to keep a straight face–and failed miserably as she finally got to look into his uncovered amethyst eyes. Belatedly she realized that they hadn’t actually removed their masks to each other, and she was surprised to see that he had removed his just as she had once well outside the city’s walls.
“By the Star, you’re beautiful!”
“By the Star, you’re beautiful!”
The words were said simultaneously–blurted out in near astonishment as they took in true appearances of each other for the first time since meeting. A blush crept up Ikarus’ face, yet, instead of turning away, Hyth stepped closer, reaching a hand up to cup her jawline. He moved slow enough she could have stopped him if she wanted, but her heart sang as he leaned in close and brushed her lips with his own. All tasks forgotten, she leaned into the embrace, a hand of her own reaching up under his braid to pull him down closer to her, even as their shared delighted laughter echoed through the trees.

((Another I didn’t have much time for, but a nice quick little bit with Kar’a finally! The usual *technial* 5.3 spoilers, but, so very vague it is.))
` The road stretched before Ikarus as she stretched her legs, finally out of the city. There was no destination today, no favors to finish, or errands to run. Just a day, like so many others, blue skies over towering green trees, and a Horizon that beckoned to her. She still wore the gray robes of the city and civilization in general, knowing today was just out for a quick stroll, her responsibilities back in the city would draw her back the following day.
She had thrown her hood back, mask hanging loosely in front of her as she took in the sun and jumped onto a nearby rock. The higher vista gave her a good look around as she suddenly was overcome with an idea for these ventures. It would take–yes, that was a good tree. It was well off the path, not visible until one had broken free of the guided way and dived deeper into the forest. Large enough that it would take a dozen people to wrap their arms around it, a bit larger and older than the others towering around her.
This would do nicely. Channeling her magic to creating, she focused on turning the base of the tree into a hollow area, while still letting the tree thrive around the room made there. Twisting the aether, a built in bed frame took form, as well as a small table and a wardrobe built into the opposite wall. There was plenty of extra aether, and so a mattress and blankets soon adorned the frame, and colorful outfits decorated the hangers. Ikarus smiled with satisfaction. It was exactly what she needed. A small sanctuary hidden from view, keyed to her aether where she couldn’t be found unless desired. Yes, it’s just what was needed.

Prompt: Formal/Dancing
I decided to re-do some of my #FebHyurary pics from last year with the... Proper Hyth. hehe. The Elezan in the pics was my version of Hyth before we got an offical, and I still adore the design, and was very pleased with myself that I got at least ONE purple eye spot on. ;-) I had saved the poses, but had to tweak them a bit for the height difference, and I think I got it looking a bit more natural as a result. I love my pair of mischief makers.

Miss the Boat
Endwalker Spoilers! 6.0
((Hmmm... back to Kar’a it looks like!))
The white robes shone in the morning light, as Ikarus looked at her mentor with shock, unsure of what to think of the revelation in front of her.
“You–You stepped down from being Azem?!” Ikarus couldn’t comprehend why Venat would want to give up that privilege. It was obvious she had no desire to return to the Star at the moment, wrapped in the robes of an Advisor and mentor, yet she couldn't understand why. One didn't need to return to the Star until they were ready, however, usually when someone had risen to a seat on the Convocation, when they retired from that position it was due to having felt they had fulfilled their duty to the Star, and therefore time to return to it. It was unheard of for someone to voluntarily give up the Setlat, and still have much and more to do.
"It felt right," Venat did seem more joyful, free from the bureaucratic nonsense that came with such a grand responsibility.
"Besides, the Seat of Azem needs a new face quicker than the others." Ikarus felt those piercing blue eyes look at her a little too long and knowingly. It was no secret that she had dreamed of working with the Convocation, and the only seat to suit her was that of Azem– however, not at the cost of her beloved mentor and teacher.
The emotion of all of it ran away with her–conflicted between the action and what it could possibly mean. She knew Venat hadn’t done it for her specifically–there was no way for her to guarantee who got the spot after her. The freedom that her mentor now had with the white robe–respected by all on the Star as much of a dream as the Seat itself.
Ikarus spun and started to walk away. It was too much to take in at this moment. Too much to process. She needed the quiet of a stream or small waterfall, or just the birdsong several malms from here.
“I named you my successor if the Council agrees,” the words gave her wings, as she flew from the proclamation, heart and head full–unsure if this is what she wanted or needed.
