Them's Fightin' Words by Dept of Amaurotine Studies (glitterandrocketfuel)
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XIV
15 Jun 2026

Summary
"Well isn't he just the tits," Thancred drawled, eyes fixed on the large monitor where the rising god of the Arcadion addressed the Warrior of Light from the top of a flying car painted with flames.
"The eye is certainly drawn to them," Y'shtola said dryly.
"Really? I hadn't noticed," Kate lied.Past the Far Edge of Fake...
Kate's been fighting her awkward way up the chain of Ascension Arcadia until one last fight stands between her and a prize that means more than the silly tin crown--freedom of the souls stored in the Arcadion's depths, and a cure for the soul-rot that plagues the young fighters who've become her friends in spite of (more likely *because of*) not knowing a thing about her past. Her biggest challenge? She can't just fight her way to the cure--she has to *sell it.* She'll be judged on her showmanship...and she can't act her way out of a paper bag.
But the gauntlet's been thrown and when she meets the opponent who threw it she quickly realizes that her problem won't be that she can't act--it'll be that she *isn't* acting. The gloves are off and so are the filters in the lead-up to the match, and it's even odds as to whether the pants will come off, too...

Self-Care by Dept of Amaurotine Studies (glitterandrocketfuel)
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XIV
21 May 2026
Tags
Summary
The Warrior of Light, three Lightwardens deep into trying to prevent the Eighth Umbral Calamity, save the First, and find a way back home for her friends. She does not have a hell of a lot of time for self-care of any kind. And the mercurial attentions of one Unsundered Ascian are leaving her with questions she's afraid to ask--like is he flirting with her or just fucking with her head. The only one she seems to be able to open up to happens to be a shade that not even Y'shtola can sense. And Ardbert seems to be the only one she can actually help these days, because while she's overwhelmed with conflicting feelings, he hasn't been able to feel *anything* in centuries. It's by accident that they discover she can help him with that, but the exact nature of how is something she's very willing to pursue to great lengths and with *very intentional* determination that only a Warrior of Light can bring to bear.

Summary
Aymeric’s face turns white. ‘I had heard… stories but I always thought they were hearsay. Tales to scare children.’
Estinien laughs weakly, because he’s seen twenty seven summers and he’s fucking terrified. Aymeric’s jaw sets.
‘Well. ‘Tis a good thing I don’t scare so easily.'

Summary
When Koana takes out his temper on the Warrior of Light, he doesn't expect the man to fight back.
He doesn't expect to enjoy losing, either.
[This was an excuse to write PWP but ended up following along with MSQ. Still smut-heavy but with a plot! Koana goes north instead of Wuk Lamat.]

Summary
“‘Tis been but two moons, my dearest,” Aymeric replied, implying there had not yet been time enough to determine if their over-hasty union had been a sound decision; ‘twas yet another attempt to tease. He was put somewhat ill-at-ease when Estinien did not respond for several moments, but merely continued to draw his finger up and down Aymeric’s stomach and chest. Finally, he spoke.
“Aye, the best tae muns ‘a ma life,” Estinien answered absently, wistfully, still stroking his companion’s belly with his fingertip.- Language:

Summary
“Let me show you how to handle it,” Stephanivien said into Artoirel’s ear, sending a shiver down Artoirel’s spine. “Here, grip it with both hands.”
Artoirel blushed furiously and jerked in Stephanivien’s hold, accidentally ramming his elbow back into the man's side. Stephanivien grunted in surprise, only then seeming to realize what he’d said and letting a delighted laugh out against the back of Artoirel’s neck.
“Where did your mind go just now, my friend? I meant the gun, of course.”
--
The Warrior of Light recently took up machinistry, which means he's been spending a lot of time with Stephanivien. Artoirel might be a little jealous. Lucky for him, Stephanivien is more than happy to give him private lessons of his own.Bookmarked by Sh1yo

Summary
When the revelation came at the height of the next winter, when Thordan ascended the dias and showed his fangs, when the Ward surrounded him, white teeth gleaming like daggers in the dark, there was no one left to fight or protest. Too many nobles converted, the Temple Knights lead by his mortal son, the dragon-blooded now either bound in blood and magic to their rulers, or running desperate, hiding in the wild as their richer veins were eagerly sought to flood the new vampiric masters with power.
Wherein a vampiric Aymeric claims Estinien as his personal servant and bodyguard as he clashes with the current power structure in Ishgard and attempts to cope with his new nature.
