It wasn't right. Not least of all for the way he scuttled around in the dark to keep the other nobles from talking.

But there was something in the way he looked at her -- like no one ever had before -- that kept her from shutting it down when she should have...

“I don’t say it enough, but you are really cute when you’re happy.”

Day 3 of XIVRarePair Week guys gals and nb pals! Today was Vacation, and I have something soft for this one. :3

Post Endwalker, Yotsuyu cuts her hair to the short style in the pictures (Yshtola’s hair looks better on Yotsuyu than Y’shtola ISTG) as a means of saying she’s letting go of the weight of the past. While not visible bc rip me and advanced crimes, I HC that she’s actually pretty scarred under her kimono from what her guardians (VERY LOOSE TERM HERE) did to her. This was the first time she wore anything resembling a swimsuit that didn’t cover her completely. Charibert is a very proud boyfriend X3

(Spoilers for Heavensward in general and the HW fishing quests)

I'm two for two now with coming out of re-reading the HW job quests with a new ship. 😅 I got to the part in the fishing quests where Ansaulme didn't wanna be lord of his house, but he had to do it for the people. And some little voice in my mind went "I bet he and Artoirel would be good together."

And there went the mental images of like, Artoirel reaching out to Ansaulme to offer friendship. The two of them help each other bumble through their new responsibilities together, commiserate, support each other. Artoirel's never thought much about fishing before, but Ansaulme offers to teach him and sure, he'll try it out and learn. Ansaulme's never thought much of music before but when Artoirel offers to teach him about it, sure, he'll learn too.

Then one day they're fishing in Tona Vanu's fishing hole, and Artoirel falls asleep with his head on Ansaulme's shoulder. Ansaulme looks down at him and realizes, oh hey, I can't imagine my life without this guy in it anymore. Wouldn't want to, either. When did these feelings creep up on me? Artoirel feels the same. It built so slowly, so naturally, that neither of them noticed.

(Endwalker spoilers for this one paragraph)

The Alliance making peace with the tribes is a big deal for them, because they can finally bring Tona Vanu to Ishgard. Ansaulme invites Artoirel, Reyna (the assassin in the fishing quests), Mogukk (the moogle in the fishing quests), Baylen, and B'ayana (our system's two wols who are most into fishing) to his house's fishing holes to celebrate with them. They give Tona Vanu a big tour of Ishgard. Maybe they hire a goldsmith to make him a ring similar to the one he gave back to Ansaulme, since that ring is what started it all.

Well, anyway. I have so many ideas for gposes now. They're gonna have to wait until I'm feeling better (my chronic stuff is all flared up). But that's okay. I've been wanting to ship Artoirel with someone for a long time. It just hasn't felt right. I didn't expect it to happen like this, but... 🤷🏻 when do these things go as expected, anyway.

(I'm feeling self-conscious about posting this, so please be gentle.)

(Half) Au Ra August: Day 1, Home

(Putting this behind a "keep reading" as it's a bit long. Balmeira is half Raen, half Viera. Spoilers for Heavensward and the end of ARR.)

Home didn't mean much to me, as a child. Why would it when we were always on the move? Homes were things other people had, not me. When my mother died, I realized I'd had a home all along. It was her. And I realized it all too late.

I traveled aimlessly without her. Tried to find my father, and failed. Traveled some more, until I chanced upon some people I came to call home. People I loved. 

It was something I thought would never happen. People must have held back their opinions of me as a child, but they didn't once I became an adult. Viera would eye my scales. Au Ra would eye my ears. I belonged with no one. Everyone had a comment to make, and they were always so rude.

But I met people who saw me for me, for who I am. And we were happy, the four of us. It was difficult to get us all together. We were too busy and located too far apart for that. But we made the most of the time we had. 

And our time together was so good. Until I lost them all, one by one. 

At least Moenbryda and Minfilia died doing what they loved - protecting people, caring for people, sacrificing themselves for the greater good. But Roaille? Was her love ever real? Or was it as fake as everything else was about her? How dare she?!

I swore I'd never love again, after that. Swore I'd never call anyone, or anywhere, home again. 

And then I met him.

Somehow, Arvide heard that I like painting. And he wanted me to help him fashion a paintbrush that a dragonet could hold. Me. That must've been the strangest request I've ever received. (And I've gotten some pretty odd ones.)

I said yes out of sheer curiosity. I didn't know if I could actually help them or not, but seven hells, did I have to see it.

What I found in Arvide was enthusiasm and hope, curiosity and compassion. All things I'd lost in my grief. And I saw his passion for his home.

Gods, was I jealous of him for that at first. He put every last bit of himself towards making his home a better place not only for his people, but for his former enemy as well. And I couldn't help but wonder… could he make it a home for a scale-covered, floppy-eared person like me?

He did.

And I fell in love. Again.

I came to call him home. Came to look forward to the next sweet smile and gentle forehead kiss.

I could've left. I could've moved onto the next destination, like my mother always did. But I didn't. I stayed. With him.

Am I terrified of this? Yeah. But I wouldn't give it up for anything. Not even if it's as fleeting as my past loves. My time spent with him, no matter how short, is worth whatever pain may come after. And in realizing that, I can see now that the same is true for my past loves, too.

[ragdoll127-ffxiv]

Hey, so... this is Ar'lihn. I've never talked about him here before I don't think... He's half Miqo'te, half Au Ra.

And I think I'm shipping him with Lyna? Maybe?

#ffxiv #gposers #ktisis pose #reshade #wolnpc #wol x lyna #wolyna? #rarepair #rare paring #xivrarepairweek #xivrarepair #Ar'lihn #Okay but what if... #look i dunno I'm trying some stuff #they are really cute together tho #i imagine this is probably how their first meeting goes #also btw tho Ar'lihn's design is based around the concept of “what if R'alma and G'raha had a kid down the line?” #but I still haven't decided if he's canon or not yet #so I'm honestly just playing around with him for now.
