    Summary

    Spoilers through MSQ 5.3, set pre-game, Emet-Selch/Elidibus.

    "A test of your sensory capacities." He manages to say the words as if they mean nothing, as if he has the same professional benevolence as a physicker. "A simple stimulation of the nerves to ensure they are all operational. I will touch you in several places -- intimate and otherwise -- and register your aetherial flow. Tell me when you have reached the very edge of your endurance each time," he informs Elidibus, "and I will stop."

    "Stop?"

    "Yes," Emet-Selch replies; he is pleased at how utterly reasonable he makes it all sound. "How else can we properly calibrate you?"

    Summary

    Phoenix had known what he was doing. He’d known that he’d be giving things up. If he hadn’t known it would be Miles, well, that was because he hadn’t wanted to think about it hard enough. Miles didn’t owe him-- a daughter, a life, a second income, a different world; Miles doesn’t owe him anything anymore.

    *

    Pre-Apollo Justice. Phoenix and Miles get back together.

    Summary

    Emet-Selch hasn’t wanted anyone in a long time. He has occasionally gone through the motions, but he figured genuine desire was lost with Etheirys. And there’s no reason he couldn’t indulge such desire now. Any indiscretion tonight will be rendered meaningless regardless of how this skirmish for the First plays out.

    “That being said,” he finds himself saying, suggestively, “Might as well enjoy what could be your last night on earth, hero.”

    Or, Emet-Selch visits the Warrior of Light before he faces Vauthry and no one enjoys the outcome.

    Summary

    It starts with a favor.

    Or a bath.

    Or, though you don't want to admit it, maybe it starts when those massive dossal gates slam shut on G’raha Tia's promise.

    It definitely does not start here, in a dilapidated room in Camp Broken Glass, with a depraved and desperate request even G'raha hesitates to accept.

    Summary

    As was his wont, G’raha had retreated up to the Rookery to clear his mind, but when he’d arrived he’d found his spot already occupied… and though his mind begged him to run, his heart led him forward and sat him down beside him. Well, he’d thought to himself, it’s just as important that he have a friend- and that became his convenient excuse for getting as much time with his beloved Warrior as he possibly could.
