Summary
Erich felt that flash of heat crawl up his neck, but no shame followed, only a tightness in his chest as Themis’s lips curled into a tiny, self-effacing smile. His anxiety around letting the other man in (literally or figuratively) bubbled in his abdomen, but it was overpowered as Themis looked back to him with that same little smile, crystalline blue meeting bright crimson. After a long, resolute inhale through his nose, Erich stepped aside and opened the door further, wordlessly offering Themis entry.
---
Erichthonios finds the respite after securing Asphodelos to be just as troublesome, as it leaves him time alone to let his thoughts run amok.
Themis offers a listening ear.

Summary
"You're thinking too much. In this we are, as ever, on even ground; this is not an exam, or a performance, or a trial... nor is it some boon I'm granting you at my own expense," he paused, leaning in to press their foreheads together. "I want you, Erichthonios. Now, tell me what you want."
Themis's voice was still quiet, but it had taken on a resolute, commanding edge that brooked no opposition or indecision.
"You, Themis, I want you."
---
Sometime after the revelations of Abyssos and the start of Themis and Erichthonios's romantic relationship, they find themselves falling into a new experience for the both of them.

Summary
G'raha Tia could count on one hand a number of memorable kisses he recalls with his Warrior of Light. For each kiss, he realizes he's fallen more and more in love. Here, at memory’s end, he promises to confess that love.
This work is a love story told from G’raha Tia’s point-of-view through the use of five kisses as a literary frame. It chronicles his experiences with my own Warrior of Light, an Ishgardian elezen mage, from ARR, through Shadowbringers, and through the end of Endwalker. Extremely fluffy slow-burn, mutual pining, nerds in love.
Part of my "Promises Kept" wolgraha fic series.

Summary
There are two choices before Hythlodaeus. They might not feel like choices, but they are. Most people would say there is one option: sacrifice yourself, save the star. But there is the alternative, unvoiced and whispering seductively: act selfishly, and let others serve instead. Meanwhile, Hades assures him there is still time. The Convocation is looking for solutions, blasphemies have not yet been reported within Amaurot, the rotted aether might still be restored and the course of their star righted. But the suggestion has already been made. One sacrifice, great though it might be, and Etheirys might be saved. Hythlodaeus has not yet made his choice.
Or, facing the final days, Hythlodaeus considers what it means to make a selfless choice.

Summary
His hair glowed like sunlight through leaves. And his gray eyes, so angry when they first met. And she remembered when he left her, he told her things weren't black and white. And in that moment, as he dropped off the wall of the castle, she wondered who was black and who was white, like chess pieces in a game she hadn't known she'd been playing.

Summary
Hades could have chosen any time in the history of Amaurot.
He could have remade the days when Hythlodaeus and he went to class together. Or the time that followed shortly after in which they learned how to love each other for the first time. Or the easy years that followed when Azem had joined them and their largest concerns were diverting the Convocation’s attention from his well-intentioned schemes.
Instead, Hades erected a constant reminder of duty. A perpetual indictment against his perceived past failures.
Or, Emet-Selch visits the shade of Hythlodaeus in his conjured Amaurot.

Summary
This contains spoilers for Endwalker 6.0 MSQ, most specifically the level 86-87 range of MSQ!
Just a simple bit I had to write out as part of processing... everything. That place in particular. Those two especially.At this, Hythlodaeus had to laugh. “Come now, you can see almost as clearly as I do. She is not from around here, and more than a mere concept or familiar. It is almost as if…”
“Yes, go on?”
“Haven’t you noticed anything peculiar about her? The obvious aside.”
Emet-Selch rose at last to join his friend’s side. His gaze cast beyond the window where the Azem-familiar yet explored the gardens of Anagnorisis, most visibly elated and astonished by the sight of a simple, dour-looking and grey bird.
He sighed and threw his hands up in a shrug. “Where would you like me to begin?”
