    Summary

    οἴκαδε: adverb
    homeward
    "I went homeward with my love."

    The unorthodox - for Spartans - wedding of General Brasidas and Alexios the Eagle Bearer of Sparta, a procession and celebration from an old life after the war's end, to a life shared, in love and contentment.

     

    “I want to marry you.”
    “...” He knew that was not done. No one had ever heard of two men marrying. Most viewed intimacies between men as only a tool in the passage from boyhood to manhood, and such proclivities for pleasure and not responsibility lingered only in gossiped oddities. Even for having grown in the far-flung backwater within sight of Odysseus’ domain, Alexios knew this. Thus it was not worth saying. But what could he say? “Why?” Really, he wanted to know, ‘What difference will it make?’ as - gods willing - they would carry this on just as before, in all their covert and clever ways, for their own safety, no one the wiser.
    “Because you are very special to me,” said Alexios, “and it. It would mean something.”

    Summary

    Going back in time to see how it all started for Brasidas and Salaithos, an OC from my main fic.
    --
    I remembered the rumours we tossed around when we were still rowdy children with only a wild imagination to keep us entertained. Salaithos must have some divine blood in him, we whispered among each other.
    How else would he be faster, stronger and keener than any of us?
    How else could I explain the paralyzing effect he had on me, with nothing but a touch and a few words, warm and soothing as a hearth in cold winter?

    Summary

    When called to Karazhan to help Khadgar study a mountain of information in the hopes of finding a way to heal Azeroth, Anduin and Wrathion find more adventure than they'd bargained for. No one said relationships were easy, especially between kings and princes.

    Summary

    For want of some patience, Ifrit never freed Ardyn from Angelgard to rebel against the Astrals.

    For want of Ardyn, Nifleheim never invented MT Troopers.

    For want of MT Troopers, Lunafreya and Ravus were able to escape with Regis, and Nifleheim never cornered Lucis in their war.

    For want of a kidnapping, Luna, Noctis and Prompto were able to work together to get ready for the prophecy, and Ravus is ready to suplex an Astral to make sure someone survives the prophecy.

    For want of separation, the four of them go to Angelgard to figure out what secrets lay there, and accidentally adopt Ardyn into their plans to save the world.

    For want of 2000 years’ prep time, Ardyn’s going to have to get up to speed on the modern world fast if he wants revenge or to fulfill his half of the prophecy.
