Ship game: Laurentiis?

asfdhjalkhjfd the world wants to know: which of the Crystal Braves would Rhiki date?

Of the three characters I've been asked about so far, Laurentius and Rhiki would probably have the worst relationship. To be entirely honest Rhiki would never consider Laurentius as someone she might hook up with. There are a lot of reasons for this, but if she had to give just one it would be "his sideburns." More seriously, he doesn't have any qualities that she finds particularly attractive, and nothing sets him apart from the dozens of other casual acquaintances she has.

If I were going to write some sort of romance between them, I would say it would have started after he turns himself in for selling information to the Garleans. Maybe they encounter each other a few times around Gridania, either in passing or occasionally at the bar. Rhiki is her usual chatty self and doesn't bring up what happened with the Wood Wailers (he thinks it's because she want to start fresh, but more likely she just doesn't recognize him....) Maybe he develops a little crush on her. He would almost certainly have to ask her out - while Rhiki doesn't dislike him, there's also nothing about him that she's particularly attracted to. He's just a friendly face she occasionally encounters. At some point he mentions or she remembers that he was That Guy from when Frixio had been kidnapped, but he seemed to have learned his lesson so she lets bygones be bygones. Rhiki is a big fan of second chances.

Supposing he did work out the courage to ask him out... Rhiki might say yes because she feels kind of bad for him and it was sweet of him to put in the effort. She figures it won't be too long term. Just a few drinks or dinners. But, hey, maybe they end up having a good time. They both like alcohol, so that's something I guess. They're both Lancers... Other than that they don't really seem to have much in common, but who knows. Maybe feeling more satisfied with his life brings out a better side of him. M Maybe it's nice watching him turn over a new leaf. Maybe it's just nice to have a kind of normal relationship between all of the crazy primal fights and political intrigue.

She would have been very encouraging when he brings up joining the Crystal Braves (though she warns him the uniforms are not sexy.) Alphinaud seems excited about the whole thing and maybe it will build his confidence and give him a new sense of purpose. He can help save the world like he wanted to when he joined the Wood Wailers. She's very proud of him when he volunteers and even tells him that the uniform doesn't look that bad on him. But then things start to shift - he's more secretive, he spends less and less time with her, he's not as interested or as caring. At first she'd tell herself that he was around less because he was making new friends, he's gruffer and quieter than usual because he's got a lot more responsibilities now so he's tired and still adjusting. But Rhiki's not stupid (okay she is stupid but she's also very emotionally perceptive) and eventually she realizes something is definitely going on, though I'm not sure she'd guess what. She tries to talk to him about it, but he's evasive. She's not the type to secretly follow a partner to learn their secrets, and she's already got a lot going on with Moenbryda's death and the whole Crystal Tower things, so she just puts it out of her mind and they gradually see each other less and less.

Until they see each other at the banquet in Ul'dah. Rhiki would probably be surprised and hurt by the betrayal. There are a lot of things she can look past, but being willing to kill their friends for money (presumably? he didn't seem to have any prior interest in the Ala Mhigan conflict) is not one of them. She's hurt, sure, but she's not shattered (if she's being totally honest she was happy but not really that emotionally invested.) Laurentius is Just Some Guy and she's not going to compromise her morals for him, She doesn't hate him for what he did (Rhiki doesn't hate very many people) but she is disappointed, because she knows he has the potential to be a better person. As much as she likes to forgive people, she also knows when she has to cut someone off for her own good. She's a little angry when she sees him at Baelsar's wall, but she's mostly sad. When Raubahn tells her after the revolution that Laurentius and Yuyuhase have been found and arrested, she advocates for a fair but even-handed punishment, but it's not because of their past relationship. It's just what she would do for anyone. She doesn't go to see him.

(Send me a character and I'll tell you what a ship with them and Rhiki would be like!)

#ffxiv #final fantasy xiv #arr spoilers #a real reborn spoilers #laurentius #rhiki tag #these are actually pretty fun to answer!#this is the last one in my inbox but feel free to send more in #anyway rhiki would never date laurentius but if she did the vibes would be “that pathological liar you almost dated in high school”#the sideburns really are a deal breaker #also just realized that laurentius and zenos are equally memorable to Rhiki #and it's not because she remembers laurentius super well....

kissing prompt: ‘a kiss meant to seduce’

not answering these in any particular order but tbh i’m trying to get these nero/WoL wips out the door so have another prompt response. more or less a lead-in to this fic i wrote which i don’t hate quite enough to take down.

not explicit, but probably a T/M rating on AO3 for mention of dirty talk etc.

=============================================================

All told, no one had seemed to be in an agreeable mood on the way down to the Find from the Crystal Tower courtyard, or after they'd arrived. Cid's expression had been positively thunderous, blue eyes dark with his agitation, and the overall feeling from the other Ironworks engineers on site ran the gamut between confusion and suspicious resignation.

Well. Almost no one. Their sudden interloper seemed quite cheerful about the entire circumstance, as though all of this were going exactly the way he had wanted and they were all just cogs in some machine he'd set in motion.

That idea was absurd, of course; Nero tol Scaeva couldn't have had much more of an inkling of what was behind those doors than anyone else here, surely. But the calm, self-assured way he moved told her he did know something, and more to the point, that he had some plan in mind for it once they’d bypassed all the security for him.

That alone was more than enough to make her wary.

She glanced from side to side, looking for Cid, but he appeared to have quit the Find in a fit of pique (not that she particularly blamed him). The other engineers were just as busy, and G'raha was animatedly chattering to Unei and Doga who were both attempting to answer his flood of questions as best as they could manage.

Everyone seemed to have quite forgotten her presence now that her ability to brute-force the doors to the Labyrinth open was no longer necessary. She wished she could feel even slightly surprised, but that was what she was here for, she supposed. The muscle, the good luck charm.

With a sigh, Aurelia approached Rammbroes' study pavilion and lifted the tent flaps, letting herself inside. If the scholar or one of his fellows -- or better yet, Cid -- was there, she could talk with them, feel out if there was anything that they ought to be concerned about before venturing into the tower should Nero's timely appearance be subterfuge for something sinister...? But the tent was---

---the tent was not empty, as it had appeared from the outside. A familiar figure turned towards the sound of her entrance, a leather-bound book clasped in one hand.

She immediately reached for her weapon, snapping, "What are you--"

Nero tol Scaeva lifted his hands in a conciliatory gesture.

"Before you cut me down in cold blood, the journal is mine own. I was attempting to compare my notes with that of your associates here."

Aurelia's eyes narrowed but the tribunus only stared back, a look that was both coaxing and challenging at the same time, as if waiting to see what she would do. Finally she relented, tucking her staff back over her shoulder. While it was obvious he'd come in here by himself to rummage through papers, it seemed that he hadn't been here much longer than she had. So it wasn't as though he had had sufficient opportunity to do anything.

Nothing she could prove at the moment, anyroad.

"And the tomestones? I can't imagine you'd want to leave those behind without having a look for yourself."

"They're welcome to them," Nero said with a dismissive shrug.

She blinked. “That was... not the answer I expected.”

"Personal experience from the Ultima Project. The majority of those tomestones will be naught more than particularly expensive paperweights; what useful data exists on them has quite likely been eroded due to time and exposure. As counterintuitive as it may seem, their decision to keep written documentation of the dig may be the wiser course of action." His pale blue eyes had not tracked away from her face the entire time he had spoken. The gaze he’d leveled upon her was sharp, scrutinizing, intense, and this time she didn't have the benefit of his magitek armor to hide that interest from her sight.

Not that he was bothering to hide it in any way. What game was he playing...?

She broke eye contact, feeling ill at ease as she glanced at the entrance to Rammbroes' tent. She'd backed up against a nearby worktable; heavy and sturdy, it sat just below her waist, at hip height. Perfectly appropriate for a roegadyn sitting down to pen missives or peruse dusty old texts or review Allagan tomestones.

Nero was smiling but he still hadn't said anything, and that made her uncomfortable enough to finally break the silence between them with a defensive "What?"

"Any particular reason you happen to be blushing?"

"Wh- I'm not blushing."

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not."

The right corner of his lips tugged slightly upwards, just enough to reveal a flash of canine. She chewed on her lower lip, grasping at the table for a sense of purchase and trying not to think about things she... really should not be thinking about. Really shouldn't. Like how in the seven hells a man was born with a mouth like that. It was- it was unfair.

His answering chuckle made her realize, much to her chagrin, that she had spoken aloud.

He braced his hands against the table's surface and leaned his weight back against it, slotting himself in the open space at her side. Unconsciously, Aurelia shifted herself to put a few ilms of space between them, trying not to think about the difference in height that was somehow far more noticeable now. Nero tol Scaeva was damnably tall; she was average height for a Garlean woman and still barely came up to his shoulders when they stood side by side, let alone in a position like this.

"To that end I've a question for you, eikon-slayer,” he continued smoothly, “if you would be so kind as to indulge me."

"About...?"

"I find it passing strange that a woman who can slay gods without blinking should find my presence in any way disconcerting. An artifact of your upbringing, I assume?" He was baiting her, she knew; the tone of his question was decidedly mocking. But that smile-- that had turned into something speculative and dark. Combined with the intensity of his stare, it set alight a strange, pressurized heat in the pit of her stomach. "Does Garlond elicit this reaction?"

"Cid? Hardly." Aurelia wrenched her gaze away from the movements of his lips to stare over his shoulder at the tent opening. Scholars and Ironworks engineers were passing to and fro just outside; she could see the shadows they cast upon the tarpaulin. "Cid also doesn't stand two ilms away from my face and stare me right in the eyes like he's about to devour me, so take that as you will, I suppose."

" 'Devour' you? What an interesting turn of phrase. Although I must admit you make a salient point. I cannot imagine that you are embarrassed by the slightest of his attentions as you are mine."

Was... was he trying to do what she suspected he was doing? The idea seemed laughable on its face -- Eorzea had no shortage of beautiful women, so who on earth would find her appealing? -- but the problem she currently faced was that it was actually working, damn him. It didn’t help that it had been... she couldn't remember how long since anyone had taken any sort of prurient interest in her, now that she thought about it.

Assuming of course that she wasn't just overthinking this and he wasn't putting her wind up for fun. Either way, she had to put an end to this now before it escalated any further.

"Unfortunately for you, I am not interested.” Calm, collected, and to the point. Yes, she thought; very well done.

She'd hoped that her bluntness would deter him, but that smile only widened, the maw of a hunting predator about to strike.

"Something tells me you are perhaps not being forthright with me." His tongue clicked against the roof of his mouth. "Shame on you, hero."

"I mean it. I am not interested," she repeated, this time with more resolve. "After what you did in the Prae-"

"Ah, you're concerned that I might turn on you all like a rabid dog, as it were. Worry for Garlond? Thinking I might sabotage his precious Ironworks or somesuch?"

"Not---no, none of those things, not as such, but to say I trust you would be a stretch. Not a word in all these weeks and suddenly you turn up, unannounced, as thought naught had transpired?"

"Your concern is unwarranted. Merely do I find myself with a plethora of free time in the wake of my sudden discharge from military service.”

“You-,” she began, but he was not finished.

“Lest you labor beneath the assumption that I intend you any sort of bodily harm, for a long while before we were... shall we say ‘formally introduced’, I had this recurring dream about you, me, and an interrogation chair-" At the wide flare of her eyes, he paused, only to grin at her: "...Now that, eikon-slayer, is a very interested look."

She tried to scoff at him, but it came out as a short, sharp, nervous bark.

"What look? I didn't give you any look."

"You most certainly did."

"You're reading intent where none exists-"

"Am I? Couple that with the fact you're mortified by the slightest hint of insinuation on my part and it's quite telling."

"Scaeva, I was in the legions myself once. Do you seriously think I'd not been exposed to the odd bit of barracks chatter?" She scowled at him. "I'm a chirurgeon by trade. I think I know enough of the human condition not to be easily embarrassed by such things."

There it was--the look she'd seen him pass Cid every time he was wont to needle the man in the space of a single conversation, coupled with the upwards arch of one eyebrow. She’d not realized how aggravating it was to be on the receiving end of that look until this moment, now that she was the subject of Nero's condescension.

"I'd wager that what you believe passes for 'barracks chatter' is overwhelmingly tame. You've not heard the half of it, I assure you. Even the worst among the rank and file will behave themselves around a skirt, especially if the lady in question is a pureblood."

"Perhaps if the lady had seen no military service. I imagine there is precious little they could say that would shock me."

He pushed himself upright and turned to face her, bracing his hands on either side and giving her precious little in the way of an escape route.

“I am very willing to test your hypothesis."

"I'm sure you are.” She kept her voice steady with some considerable effort. His mouth now lingered but a bare hairsbreadth apart from her own, and trying not to think about that fact was only causing her to hyperfocus on it.

"No time like the present,” he said, “and I am a man of science. Call it professional curiosity, if you like. May I?"

He'd called her bluff, and after her own assertion she felt she had little choice but to accept the consequences. At last Aurelia nodded, stiffly, trying to ignore the faintly triumphant curl to his answering smile.

His hand cupped her jaw, warm and callused fingertips trailing the shell of her ear, palm just barely cradling the soft skin over her throat. If he wished he could close his grip and tighten it, squeeze until she had no air to breathe- but the Echo would have warned her of any killing intent. Although it gave her no indication of any danger from him, it took a conscious effort not to bolt under his arm and flee the tent. Tension thrummed through her frame like a live wire.

Nero leaned inward until they were cheek to cheek. Her breath hitched for the briefest of moments when she felt the light scrape of stubble and caught his scent: some kind of aftershave perhaps, a bit stringent but not unpleasant, and the heat in her belly clenched tight. Lips lingered at her ear and she could feel the tribunus' warm breath fanning very lightly across her skin.

Then he began to speak.

Sotto voce, in their native Garlean tongue. A soft, soporific rumble, breath just slightly uneven- and not the mildly suggestive banter or off-color jokes she’d expected but a soldier's words of coupling, rough and lascivious and filthy.

All of it aimed at her.

Her grip on the table tightened as she willed herself to remain still through the impulse to slap him or shove him away in shocked mortification, as he well knew a proper young lady of gentle birth would have been expected to do. He knew, too; could sense her dismay, how much it cost her just to maintain some semblance of composure, and he wasn't fooled by it.

He was laughing at her, the bastard: she could hear the soft, breathy chuckles woven through his unending stream of vulgarities. Her face felt as though he had set it afire and she knew she was probably bright red right down to the roots of her hair---and then she felt the press of his mouth, a light kiss along the juncture of her jaw just beneath the earlobe.

A hot shudder of anticipation warped its way down her spine.

"So the eikon-slayer is undone by a bit of bawdy talk after all." He had not moved his lips away from her skin before speaking. She could feel the heat of his breath against her, warm and velvet and damp and gods, he was practically purring in her ear- "It would appear your theory has been disproven, hero."

She found herself unable to respond, mouth feeling suddenly very dry, swallowing with some effort. The clicking sound her throat made in her ears as she did was so, so loud.

And before she had quite managed to gather her wits again, Nero tol Scaeva straightened his posture and backed away from her position against the table with a mocking bow before tucking the journal in his coat pocket and strolling towards the tent flap. Turning his back on her, quite deliberately, and making his exit.

As though the entire exchange had never occurred.

She let out the exhalation she hadn't realized she was holding, sagging back against the sturdy oak surface of Rammbroes’ makeshift writing desk and attempting to ease her breathing into something resembling an even pace. He'd left her rattled and flustered and... burning. There was a deep, aching knot of tension that had formed in the base of her belly, one that would not fade quickly.

And she suspected that like as not, he’d only done it to prove a point, namely that his wits were malms beyond hers and her victory in the Praetorium had been but a simple fluke, a stroke of blind luck.

Small wonder Cid's hackles had been raised by his mere presence. Hells take him, the man was utterly insufferable.

After some time had passed (and the heat in her cheeks had faded), she slipped out of Rammbroes' "study" and saddled her chocobo. She had to talk to Cid about this, she decided, regardless of how sour his mood might be. Someone was going to have to keep an eye on Nero once they set foot in the tower, and given everyone else’s relative importance in the grand scheme of things, it might as well be her; she could endure his baiting so long as she made sure they had an understanding.

Aurelia didn’t see any sign of him on her way out of the camp. Doubtlessly he’d gone in search of someone or something else to act as his temporary source of entertainment until the expedition into the Tower was underway, she thought. She could not well decide if she was disappointed or relieved.

But if he planned to behave this way the entire time, it was going to be a very, very long expedition indeed.

ima just fucking RAMBLE massively about some present-time ocs because I think about them way too mach for months. for ever

Gourd: Gourd

Strike: AKA SVANGEIR/SVAN he’s an ex woodwarder Rava WAR who made a living as a sellsword before he was cursed to swap bodies with an ul’dahn lalafell merchant he got into a bar fight with because he refused to escort his caravan through the golmore jungle. He’s initially very selfish/vain/arrogant albeit undeniably a very skilled tracker and combatant, but much of this personality was constructed out of guilt for abandoning his people. He actually is very sensitive and gets lonely easily. He goes to eorzea in pursuit of his “rightful gods-crafted form” and Gourd saves him from an ambush, which is how they meet. He doesn’t realize gourd is the warrior of light until he gets his body back and constantly tried to convince him he was extremely sexy as a viera (he is, unfortunately). He used to look down on adventurers because they constantly naively took his jobs for little pay.

Dozu & Nomolun: i jus talk about them. Dozu eventually reunites with Gourd in post-SB and thinks he’s dating Strike, which Strike lies about and says yes he is because he’s really stupid. Dozu is defo over gourd, but she was really in love with him and used to be kind of broken up about him not being able to love her back as deeply. He did like her a lot and was sweet to her, but they couldn’t ever bridge the gap. Gourd buys them both a shitload of gear and encourages them to go adventure together. Nomolun is seen as a good daughter and generally does respect her elders a lot, but she secretly lets her hair down when she’s alone and sings and daydreams about the world putside of the steppe. LNC & BRD/CNJ respectively.

Xeda’a: The moonkeeper ARC/ROG elder brother of one of the guys in his old mercenary band (Teq’sae, the second youngest and only other living member of the Spires). He’s a manipulative and pretty horrible person. He simultaneously protected and picked on Teqs (when he was still with his family) for being a weakling. He enjoys seeing him suffer because of his inadequacy with combat and refusal to kill people because it validates his own choices to not really care about other people’s lives, but then offers kindness and protection afterwards to get him to rely on him. After Teqs runs away, he loses his outlet and eventually goes to search for him after letting the rest of his family die in a failed hunt (he found out he was fatally sick so he just started doing whatever). He’s an extremely skilled archer and is beautiful & charismatic. He’s the main reason why Teqs couldn’t reunite with Gourd after the calamity.

Sayo: Gourd’s biological mather. She did love him, but she was constantly tired and very unhappy, so she pretty much never really engaged with him & only ever spoke to tell him to stay out of trouble and not bother her, which made him extremely quiet and then later just straight up mute after he got his head knocked around in the ocean for a long while. She’s a sui-no-sato exile, she’s extremely beautiful but didn’t want to conform; she ended up suffering from a lot of abuse from her family, which she took refuge from on a cove above water. She met an adventuring ex-samurai raen there who brought her books to read and told her she was freer than she thought (this is gourd’s father). but alas he was a jackass and vanished one day and so Sayo ended up travelling to a Doman valley post-exile (after they figured out she was pregnant with an outsider’s kid) to live essentially as a virtual hermit bar her jobs (farmhand, dancer). After Gourd disappears, she becomes even more of a recluse and falls ill after a desperate search for him that lead her as far as kugane before an imperial soldier messed up her leg. They reunite post-sb after Teqs urges Gourd to find out who he really is, where they reconcile and gourd stays with her for the last of her days. He learns he was originally called En from Eisen) from her.

Yoshimi & Souya: A hyur kugan..ite....? painter and her son. Around 15 years ago, they were on their way to a harvest festival in Doma (where she originates) when they get jumped and kidnapped + seperated by imperial soldiers. Gourd was heading to the same festival (see: his mother was very hands off) and witnesses this, and his genius 7 year old brain sneaks onto the imperial ship she was carted off to and frees her; she then panics and mentions her son (who is around his age?), which he also goes off to save. Unfortunately, considering he’s like, a baby, a garlean was basically about to kill the kid as he was useless as a slave and so gourd stabs him, frees the kid, but falls into the ocean in the ensuing struggle...though taking the officer with him (baby sicko mode). Thanks to his mom making one last prayer to the kami before she left sui-no-sato, he did luckily possess the blessing of the water and with the power of his fucking shards basically fucking drifted all the way to eorzea. Yoshimi & Souya feel extremely indebted to this kid and try to help Sayo find him, but are eventually tracked by imperials who are looking to kill Gourd’s family. Yoshimi glamours herself to look like Sayo as a distraction while she escapes, and is grievously wounded and blinded. She also meets Gourd again in post-sb (where he is looking for his birth family). She is a very warm but mysterious person. Souya grows up to become an adventurer as well (SAM/PLD lol), making the promise to both his mom and Sayo that he’ll find her son one day. He’s standoffish and sharp-tongued, but somewhat gullible and easy to fluster.

#ive already talked about the lower spires but......#thats six more people and those six people have 1-2 people associated with them that also have backstories #bro none of this makes sense until i make a readable story anyways #ocs

take a wild guess what’s below that keep reading line

the stuff i’ve played through today has hit me so hard man... I am fully invested at this point. This whole deal with a mysterious voice talking about how the balance of light and dark are being tipped and throwing open the gates especially... that scene where it was first introduced and the WoL was being thrown in and out of their body was something else. I’ve been waiting for WoL to get another chance to be their own character but... man. I know she’s gonna come back but Alisaie being called broke my heart!! It is 6 am and i was about to start yelling oh my god. The story has done its job in the past few bits of endearing Alisaie to me... i mean part of me was /waiting/ for it to happen but not then.

I’d planned on writing earlier in the night, when “Solus” was introduced. I was laughing so hard at that introductory scene like. THAT is the current premier FFXIV sexy man?????? I’ve even heard the excuse that it’s his voice or personality that people like and while they’re really good on their own it’s not in like. an attractive way this dude is just incredibly annoying lmao. I just don’t get it. Especially in the intro when the emperor just shoots him point blank from the hip and he slides down the stairs with a stupid expression on his face. just. how does the story want me to view this character????? is he gonna get more serious later on???

That entire stretch of story was just one gut punch after the next, I felt like I only fully understood what was going on like half of the time. Elidibus piloting Zenos is something I should have seen coming. I expressed anger at this turn of events before and while I do still prefer they’d gone in some other direction... I’m glad I get to hear his voice actor again, even if he’s speaking different from how Zenos really did.

I. had no idea that the shadowhunter dude was gaius?? Why did they decide to bring him back as well. Why can’t garleans stay dead? Garlean men specifically I think the only confirmed death of a garlean at the WoL’s hands is that uh... Livia van Julius or whatever her name was I can’t remember.

Actually forget that I just remembered the scene where it was revealed that Zenos is now in some Elezen body and was shown flying off in that stupid little air craft. THAT was why I was still angry. I rescind what I said earlier that’s still dumb as hell. This is all becoming really ridiculous which has its ups and downs.

Oh. That last fight on the front lines was really funny too. I think that was the first time I was paired with another summoner for 4-man content and I like to think that the one commendation I got was from them, as I gave them mine. I don’t have any real way to measure it but they seemed to do a bit more personal damage in trash mob phases, and were better at making full use of trances... though I was more consistent with DoTs, and did better with trances in the boss fights since I’d actually read about them ahead of time and knew to wait for intermissions. We ended up getting to pop Bahamut right at the end during that last burn/enrage phase which was a really nice conclusion to the imaginary competition I had going in my head. By the end of it, we both had even gotten the chance to revive our WHM :)

Anyhow. I am very near to completing the post-stormblood stuff, I just needed to come down from Alisaie being taken from me >:(
