Hector and Hanako stand in a field with the moon gates and palace in the background. Hanako is holding a basket of flowers and looks a bit wary. Hector stands a respectful distance away and seems to be politely introducing himself.

Day 30 - Vestige Hector/Hanako | Extremely Pre-Canon | 1271 Words ellipsus.com/read/3mAEXrR... { #ffxivwrite2026 }

It ached to be handed absolute clarity that Chihiro had never understood her for one single second. Hanako didn't hate herself; she had been forgotten, completely and utterly. She was invisible and Chihiro couldn't possibly understand what that was like. She had parents who loved her and almost never yelled. She had a dowry to eventually be properly married off. No one had ever treated her like shame was a tattoo branded onto her forehead. No one had ever made her feel like she was worthless simply for being alive.

Girls like Hanako—girls whose mothers hated them and whose fathers were gone, who were berated constantly and too destitute to have a dowry, who had never known what it felt like to simply exist and not be condemned for it—they didn’t get a choice. They took scraps of affection where they found them.

Day 29 - Layer Bram/Hien | #nsfw | 996 Words ellipsus.com/read/7V2dt9i... { #ffxivwrite2026 }

He'd realized over the course of their unusual courtship that Bram seemed to struggle to lay his desire bare. No matter how plainly reciprocated it was, he always held a little back for fear that it might be too much. Unwanted. Hien wasn't certain how to tell him it would never be unwanted.

Day 28 - On Thin Ice Bram/Hien | Humor | 991 Words ellipsus.com/read/2cRxEq3... { #ffxivwrite2026 }

Unfortunately, Bram had slowly gotten sharper at recognizing when trickery was afoot. Hien would begin his usual tactic of digging in, picking and prodding until Bram's shoulders started to go a little taut, but more and more often he seemed to recognize that feeling at the outset and catch that Hien was deliberately messing with him. A shame, really.

“Not working this time,” he’d say with a shrug, immediately redirecting the wind from Hien's sails. “You do know that asking is also an acceptable way to get me to kiss you.”

An acceptable way, certainly, but not the way to get Bram to kiss him like that—all fever and passion, biting and grabbing. Like it was a punishment. That was a revelation he had to earn.

His tactics were forced to become less obvious. Indecipherable, even.

Day 26 - Susurrus Hector/Hanako | Pre-Canon | 1645 Words ellipsus.com/read/6W51thf... { #ffxivwrite2026 }

"Hanako," he breathed as he closed it behind him.

"How do they know?" she demanded frantically. "I haven't told anybody. I've been so careful!" Hector's brow appeared pinched as he tugged his helmet off and shook out his sweat-dampened hair. Anticipating his anger, she swore, "It isn't my fault! I promise you!"

Hector sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I know that." He paused for a long time and finally confessed, "It's mine."

She felt, suddenly, like the earth had opened up beneath her feet and snapped shut to swallow her whole.

Day 25 - Cynosure Obram | Post-Canon | 572 Words ellipsus.com/read/nyw0trb... { #ffxivwrite2026 }

He sometimes wonders at the discomfort he felt that first night in the Quicksand, when slitted green eyes first fell upon him and refused to drift away. He’d felt like one of Mina’s research specimens: pinned and picked apart, helpless beneath the weight of what that gaze might demand from him. His soul was reduced to the shred most loath to be observed, left wriggling like a worm on a hook, and he imagined the thing Bren found upon reeling him in would be just as feeble and unpleasant.

Instead he’d chosen to stay.

Just… If it goes well, don't forget about me, yeah?

He'd been rotating that simple plea in his mind ever since he'd dragged it out of Toshi, but it remained as baffling as ever. How could he possibly forget him? Any time anything happened, good or bad, Toshi was always the very first person Kimihiro wanted to tell. He liked seeing his eyes light up. He liked the comfort of his warm, low voice. There was no one on all the star he'd rather spend his days with.

Which made it unbearably frustrating that he seemed to be rebuffed at every turn nowadays.

This part of the castle garden in Nagxia is well abandoned, with naught to keep them company except the oppressive evening heat. The rest of the visiting dignitaries are dizzy with liquor and merriment. Bram thinks he might be able to hear them singing together in the distance. He should be urging Hien to mind his manners, but it's been days since they've been able to steal a proper moment together. He'll take what he can get.

Day 22 - Train (of Thought) Bram/Hien | Post-Game | 550 Words ellipsus.com/read/7ETqSUc... { #ffxivwrite2026 }

“Does that make sense?” Onata asks.

Hien nods politely, though he’s long since lost track of what the man is talking about, and continues pretending to listen while his eyes stray very pointedly to the man beyond the gate. Bram has been running drills for so long now that he practically glistens with sweat in the morning sun. To say it is distracting would be an understatement—Hien's focus on the matter is so absolute it’s dimmed all else. He watches as the samurai lifts the bottom of his shirt to use as a towel for his face, revealing an impossibly tantalizing view of his abdomen, and practically shivers.

Saiyuri subtly jabs him in the ribs and coughs.

Day 21 - Better Late Than Never Hector/Hanako | Extremely Pre-Canon | 2174 Words ellipsus.com/read/2qvve0y... { #ffxivwrite2026 }

Chihiro had asked her what she’d been up to in the past two weeks and she’d been forced to lie, which hadn’t felt great so soon after their reconciliation. What was she supposed to do, though? Telling Chihiro she was smitten with an imperial when her father had already banned them from seeing each other for simply trying to stand up to one wasn’t going to make matters any easier.

“I like having a secret,” she said, in what felt like an expert diversion. “It makes me feel special.”

Hector smiled at her with eyes so soft they seemed to twinkle in the moonlight. "I like being your secret."

Day 19 - Liminal Bram | Early ARR | 612 Words ellipsus.com/read/3udBmju... { #ffxivwrite2026 }

For all that this is it—that this is the moment his life changes forever—he hasn't given much thought to what he'll do when they arrive. He knows that from Limsa Lominsa he intends to ride a skip across the Strait of Merlthor, dock in a place called Mor Dhona, and then take a chocobo cart south across the Thanalan desert to its capital city, called Ul'dah. He's traced the route on his map a thousand times, checking and re-checking that all of his information is correct with the more well-traveled people he's met on the ship. But they're still just featureless dots. He has no idea the type of places he's going to see, or where they're going to live when they get there.

Day 18 - Reason Bram & Mina | ENW | 1383 Words ellipsus.com/read/4JFLs4R...

He still hadn't told her about Azem, or Apollo's legacy. His existence—and the fact that Bram was supposedly a fragment of the soul that had once belonged to him—still sat strangely in his mind. He didn't doubt Venat, but the idea that anyone could look at him and see an echo of someone else entirely made his skin crawl. He'd felt a kinship with Ardbert and when they'd done whatever it was they'd achieved in Aumarot, his strength had increased exponentially. That didn't have to mean that he'd restored another piece of his soul. It didn't have to mean he wasn't who he'd always thought he was.

He felt compelled to finish what he'd started because it was the right thing to do, Azem be damned. Which meant he was choosing it. He was choosing to leave her.

It didn’t take a genius to realize Emm had never sailed stormy seas: he was positively green around the gills and perched on the edge of his cot with an iron-handed grip, swinging wildly between wild-eyed panic and trying not to spew the contents of his stomach. Sicard would’ve thought him accustomed by now, what with the amount of traveling he'd done with the Executioners in the last year alone, but he supposed storms had been relatively scarce. Eh. First time for everything.

Day 16 - Steel Bram/Hien | ENW (Garlemald) | 1471 Words ellipsus.com/read/sN8M6iI... { #ffxivwrite2026 }

“There isn’t anything to say about it,” Bram said cagily after a couple of minutes of silence. “I found him, I saved him, and I left him with Mina. I don’t want to see him or talk to him. It’s dealt with.”

There were few things in all the star Bram loathed more than speaking of his father. He'd kept the secret from Hien longer than any other, and treated his existence with the same disdain one might feel for the lowest criminals. His hatred was long and sustained. Choosing to help him in spite of all that couldn't have been easy.

Hien lifted his head so that he might more easily meet his eyes, taking one of Bram’s gloved hands in his own. “Feign peace for the others as much as you like. I understand well the toll of leadership. But I beg you: be honest with me.”

She choked on a sob, suddenly more distressed than she had ever been. She tried to stuff it down—to rein it in before it spiraled out of her control—but doing so only made it worse. It was humiliating to break down like this in front of him. She buried her face in her hands to hide her own shame, blistering and burning. It never left. It clung to her wherever she went. Would there never be a day or time she did not revert to the wretched thing she’d always been? Was there no person whose presence she could not drive away with the wrong series of words?

Day 10 - Upbraiding Bram & Hien | Patch 4.3 | 967 Words ellipsus.com/read/5OH86h4... { #ffxivwrite2026 }

“I have not been tasked with a simple decision,” Hien said. “A choice in either direction may spell our peril if we fail to prepare.”

“What is there to prepare for?” Bram demanded, unusually insistent. “Memory or no, she’s responsible for hundreds of deaths. She had people beaten and tortured. She wiped my village off the map. Just because she gave the orders and didn’t dirty her own hands doesn’t mean that leniency—”

“You would call this leniency?!” Hien snapped, unable to bear his badgering any longer. “Perish the thought. Should Yotsuyu remain here with us, I will face the people’s ire. Should she be sent away, to return to Garlemald, she might regain her memory and return with even greater ferocity. No perfect solution exists.” Bram frowned, deep blue eyes narrowed with thought. “Which is to say nothing of Gosetsu. He has come to care for her. Would you have me rip that away from him when not two days ago I believed him dead?”

“I don’t know what to make of Gosetsu’s fondness for her,” Bram conceded. “Or her supposed memory loss. But she can’t just get away with it. It isn’t right. Ask anyone outside and they’d agree in a heartbeat, Hien. This isn’t the time for hesitation.”

Hesitation. That word rankled most of all. Too much, perhaps, for the next words out of his mouth were: “What would you do, then, our beloved champion of the people?"

Day 9 - Boustrophedon Bram & Apollo(Azem) | Late ENW | 196 Words ellipsus.com/read/63ogh7N... (Both images and a more legible version included in link.) { #ffxivwrite2026 }

Two poems are interwoven, Boustrophedon style.

The first is a letter written by Bram to Mina and reads:

The star has left me no choice, and so I will do what must be done.
I’m sorry, Mina.
It’s possible you will never see me again.
But you’re brave. No matter what happens, you’ll see it through.
I’m proud of who you’ve become. I’m proud of what we’ve built.
You’ve done things they said you never would.
Anyone else would’ve given up. But never you.
If I don’t come back, tell Hien I love him, and I’m sorry.
I love you as well.

-Kimihiro

The same poem, flipped. This one is from my Azem, Apollo's POV. It is a letter written to Venat, who he viewed as a sister.

The star has left me no choice, and so I won't give it one either.
I’m sorry, Venat.
I know you will never see me again.
But you were always the better Azem. No matter what happens, you’ll see it through.
You gave me a chance to make something of myself. I wish I could say I’m proud of what I became.
I’ve done things I thought I never could.
But it wasn’t enough. I cannot be aught more than I am.
When you find this letter, tell Hades and Hythlodeus I love them, and I’m sorry.
I love you as well.

-Apollo

"Don't look so dire." Mina sighed. She reached across the space between them to poke the bunching between his eyebrows. Doing so slumped her into her pillow so hard that the left side of her face was an indistinguishable mush. "This is our rock bottom. Which means there's nowhere to go but up."

"Don't say that," Bram cautioned and batted her hand away. "Or any day now someone will hand us a shovel."
