I uploaded my 2025 Kink Zine comic "Queen's Gambit" to itch if anyone would like it as an individual PDF! I reformatted it nicely with some bonus illustrations - this is basically what I printed for Dokomi previously, but better quality... 👉 rkgk553.itch.io/queens-gambit
Zine Cover of Queen's Gambit (Zoraal Ja x Sphene + Otis ) Screenshot of the third page of the zine / first page of the comic. Robot Otis is wandering around the ruins of old Alexandria. He hears moaning and sees Zoraal Ja and Sphene having sex behind a rock.Tenth page of the zine. An individual illustration of Sphene lying down with her skirt spread around her.

day 30 - vestige (CW: choking / breathplay ) last but never least, it's never an xivwrite for me without rancid yves/zenos tension (thanks to fray this time)! thanks so much to everyone who's checked out my works this month 🙏 ellipsus.com/read/6Tyuy6S... #nsfw | #solairewrites | #ffxivwrite2026
The sky of Solution Nine is a placid and cheerful blue—the same exact hue as it appeared ten hours, ten days, or ten years prior. The onslaught of electrope projections hovering over the streets of True Vue change with such rapid speed that no single image or slogan comes to mind when Yves tries to recall their purpose. The only exception are the Arcadion's advertisements bearing his own face, which only serve to make him wilt from sheer embarrassment. 

From the height of his hotel room's window, the people walking the streets are no more than flecks of seafoam drowning in the city's sea of lights. Yves turns from the view with the taste of bile to keep him company. His hand stretches up to the window frame out of habit, before he stops to march across the small room instead. No manual shutters or drapes were to be found in any of these buildings: a sentry at the front desk had explained how every possible function of the room was to be accessed through a singular electrope remote. 

It takes him five attempts between cycling through various combinations of buttons to cover the blinding window with a metal screen. His scowl deepens. The entire exercise is enough to make him consider returning to the Backroom in exasperation. The spare beds in Oblivion's headquarters were serviceable, and the building was quiet—but with only short, thin dividers separating each makeshift room, he could never truly lower his guard. This hotel in the Recreation Zone was private, even if the permanent glow of electrope lighting in every nook and corner was exhausting. He sits on the edge of the bed and rubs his thumb over the smooth, rounded gemstone at the center of his makeshift necklace. "You know, you've touched his pendant for the twenty-fourth time today."

Yves doesn't need to look up from the floor to recognize Fray's presence as he materializes. "What sort of greeting is that?" Yves mutters. 

"Tch. An honest one. I'm surprised Krile hasn't said anything about it, given her experiences and the effects of her Echo..." 

His exhalation sounds sharper than he intends. "I am sure she has more important things to worry about. Taking care of the rest of this damned city, to start with." 

Fray laughs and moves to sit beside him, making the mattress dip under a conjured impression of weight. "Oh, and what of you? Don't tell me you intend to spend your precious spare time worrying about the Alexandrians as well." The fact that Fray has opted to appear without his helmet, and therefore looks like a mirror image of Yves's own bleary-eyed face, is a poor omen. "Or is worry not the right word for what we feel about them at this moment?" 

Yves is painfully aware of his throat as it swallows. He cannot help but shift the leather band of the necklace higher on his neck, and Fray's golden eyes stare at the movement in turn. "What I feel is irrelevant to what has to be done. And why ask questions you already know the answer to?"Fray's face twists into a sneer. "You watch an entire city of grown adults wailing like newborn babes at the prospect of even a moment's awareness of what you bear—of what we must always remember—in every waking hour, endure as the only satisfying challenge of your abilities renders you a public carnival act for their very entertainment, and you call your reaction irrelevant?" He seizes the collar of Yves's tunic, the tips of his armored hands digging in below the collarbones. Even through gritted teeth, his breath is close enough to scald Yves's lips. 

None of the anger or disgust in Yves truly belongs to Fray, yet he gladly swallows the poison down for them both. If Fray wishes to bruise or scar or maim him in turn it is his birthright. "They deserve better regardless," Yves whispers. Even as the words leave his mouth they seem immaterial, just as the sky, the lights, and the people here have always been.

One of Fray's hands slips upward and presses upon the amethyst over the center of his throat. It is only enough force to serve as a warning, but it still kindles heat deep within Yves's core like a flint against steel. "And what of us? What do we deserve?" 

"F-Fray..." The pressure makes it harder for him to speak. Harder to think. Good. 

"Of course, only now do you begin to enjoy yourself." As scathing as Fray's tone sounds, his face cannot hide the craving that both of them harbor in this moment. "Is it because you like to imagine his hands on your neck whenever I touch this little trophy he gave you?" Yves's breaths grow quicker while Fray groans with vicarious pleasure. "You still recall how it felt to find satisfaction in each other, how vivid and real every moment became with him," Fray says, and he shoves Yves down onto the mattress at last. "This vestige of him alone is worth more than any laurels or praise that this city could grant you, hm?" 

"Mmh!" A pathetic whine escapes from Yves's constricted throat. Fray's armored form looms over him, shrouding him from the unnatural glow of the room's cold lights, but he needs more. He needs to be engulfed, to be suffocated, to be consumed. His feeble attempts to arch against Fray’s body could never spark that conflagration, any more than a raindrop could start a flood. 

"I do not care if I already know the answer. Speak. Beg for it properly," Fray snaps.

To stare at his own mirror image as he pleads is too cruel. Yves closes his eyes first and breathes as deep as he can through his nose. When his lips part and breath becomes air, the abyss within him and his own voice cry out in unison.  Fray severs his vision as easily as if he were snuffing out a candle. The nauseating flickering of electrope is finally erased from sight, and Yves sinks into the dark.

As he falls, the hand on his throat tightens and shifts around him, until the sensation of leather and warm, bare fingertips eclipses his stuttering pulse.  

"I am here, my friend."

Zenos yae Galvus, Imperial Crown Prince — circa - 1569 of the Sixth Astral Era Pre-ARR concept for my fic #CoerthanTraitor #Zenos #ffxiv
Character sheet of Zenos yaw Galvus - Imperial Crown Prince.
Standing at attention in all his glory, hand toying with Crow's upright dagger embedded into a map and the wooden table below. He wears a slight but insufferably smug smile, his other hand sliding over his elaborate magitek dual-blade scabbard.

Back view of the prince, with combat move set sketch next to it. 
Figure 1 - Zenos thrusting his sword behind him, creating a rearward explosion
Figure 2 -Zenos cutting down a trio with a frontal dual-bladed semi-circle slash.
Figure 3 - Zenos sending a poor man to the afterlife with a simple frontal kick, swords be damned.

Then different facets of his terrible and beautiful visage.
Expressions: Glaring Zenos, passionate Zenos and malevolently smug Zenos

a very late fill for day 1 - key! features 7.50 MSQ spoilers and a heaping pile of yves angst :) ellipsus.com/read/7Y4SJby... #solairewrites | #ffxivwrite2026
The wound left in Zodiark's wake glowed red, like a simmering rash upon the moon's surface. The immediate threat of the voidsent seeping into the Source had long faded from Mare Lamentorum—the Warrior of Light's watch over the scarred landscape was more of a vigil over an empty casket. For each step forward Yves took, the path before him only looped back to the same fundamental question and choice.

His attempt to ask the Watcher for any further guidance from Hydaelyn had also proven fruitless. Nothing in her records spoke of a "natural rejoining," and none of the contingencies she prepared could mend the Shards anew. 

"Whose will was it then, for me to use this...?" 

Yves held the white and gold prism in his hand, raising it between him and the pale horizon. No warmth or energy rippled from its surface through his thick leather gloves. Were he to leap from the balcony of the Watcher's Palace and land by the edge of the shattered center of the moon, it would take nothing more than a wave of his hand to let the key plummet. A brief flicker, drowned in whatever aether or godly offal was left of Zodiark and Fandaniel's blind rage.

His eyes traced an arc down to the crater and up to the looming light of Etheirys. If putting tens of thousands of malms between him and the planet did nothing to distance him from his duties, he didn't know what else could do it. And if Halmarut and her "Winterers" spoke true, to flee to any remaining reflection would lead to the same, unerring conclusion. 

Yves sat down on the pale stone tiles, his head bowed over the key. It was mute as a stick of chalk. While at the Rising Stones, he'd attempted to attune to the voice he'd heard from the device and glean further insight from it, and only received silence. 

*Yours is a journey without end, conceived and guided by principle.*The more he dwelled upon the few sentences the key had recounted to him, the further rooted to the stone floor he became. After so much of his journey spent following in Hydaelyn's vision—and drifting aimlessly in her absence—another Ancient had chosen to thrust purpose upon him. 
He curled inward, tension winding its way up his spine and between his shoulders. He should be grateful. Grateful that he was granted a means to reach the Void in time, grateful for even the momentary understanding of something approximating divine, unsundered intention—
Yves heard the screech of steel against stone before realizing his body had moved at all. The pointed endcap of his spear gouged into the tile beside him, and his palm twitched around the handle. After two beats he forced his wrist to go slack. The weapon clattered to the floor. 
He shut his eyes, releasing a hiss of breath. Opening his eyes only revealed the same forlorn sight: a carelessly dropped spear, and an ugly gash upon the pristine, Amaurotine building underfoot. No glowing fields of flowers or apparitions of scythes. 
With that thought, the Warrior of Light seized his spear and leaned on it while rising to his feet. Each fulm of stiff muscle unfolded with an unpleasant twinge. Served him right for only caring to move when reminded of Zenos once again. Yves shoved the key into the pouch at his hip, staring aimlessly at a point far beyond Zodiark's grave and the surface of the star itself. 
"Of course, should it serve to satisfy your ambitions, you are welcome to deal with the reflections as you deem fit. Like the pariah and wanderer who satisfied his own, when he brought the star to the brink of ruin to face you."
"As if there was any satisfaction to be found in his final words," Yves whispered. "No fulfillment could reach him, or Fandaniel and Hermes." His tongue was barren as the lunar surface, his voice rasping treacherously toward an emotion that was neither justified nor appropriate for the men he spoke of.

Day 20: Persistence | Asahi/WoL | Implied Zenos/WoL/Asahi | Canon-divergent timeline | One-sided | 449 words #ffxivwrite
"Coffee for you." 

"Oh." 

Asahi gave a small nod towards Aro, barely acknowledging him. 

"Wow. You could at least say a thank you." Aro said as he put down the cup in front of him. Asahi rolled his eyes and mouthed a silent sarcastic "thank you" before going back to talking to Zenos about whatever it was they were talking about.

Well, more like talking at him, the former Prince seemed to be barely paying attention.

The usual state of affairs.

Aro sat a little further away, grabbing a book and settling down. He couldn't hear them from this distance, so whenever he got distracted, his eyes drifted towards the two, watching the inaudible one-sided exchange.

After a couple of pages, Aro took a break. His gaze once again landing on the pair. Asahi seemed to be explaining something using his tomestone, he had the faintest smile on his face too.

Something panged in Aro's chest just then, recalling all the moments he'd share something with the man back when they were kids. And, perhaps by the affect of resurfacing habits, he had started showing anything interesting he'd picked up in his travels to Asahi, under a guise of showing off and coated with a heavy layer of nonchalance, of course. It'd earn him a sarcastic woah at best, or a blank stare of disinterest at worst. But even then, those reactions were something— unlike Zenos' genuine lack of reciprocity. Was it not crushing, to earn such little for your earnest persistence? Surely you'd stop after so many tries, both for your own dignity and respect for the other's simple disinterest. 

Aro looked down for a moment, creasing his brows at the sudden onset of these vague feelings clawing at his heart.

And just then, when he looked back at them at the corner of his eye, what he feared struck him upside the head heavier than any blow in battle.

Asahi's smile made his heart ache just the same way it did when he first realized he liked him all those years ago.

After all the betrayals, the insincerity, to feel warmth towards one such as he… Aro cursed his heart for daring to cling to such foolish nostalgia.

But he couldn't help it. He wanted to be smiled at like that again one day. A notion just as futile as getting Zenos to do something similar in effort towards Asahi.

His head felt as if it were getting heavier by the minute, muddled by intruding thoughts that made the cloud inside him grow bigger. He got up from his chair to leave before it all got too heavy, and chuckled silently at the irony of it all.

Day 18: Reason CW: Dubcon | WoL/Jullus | Canon-divergent timeline | 782 words #ffxivwrite
Jullus sighed as he hung up his snow-speckled coat on the hanger nearby the entrance of his quarters. Today was another productive but exhuasting day, even the twins had seemed out of it by the end of their volunteering hours. 

He smiled to himself, thankful to have their continual support. 

When a creaking sound came from within the dark room though, he quickly switched from relaxed to on-alert at the drop of a needle, his hand going to his gunblade as he scanned the surrounds and spotted a silohette near the couch.

With years of battle experience despite his young age, he stealthly moved towards the figure and pressed his blade against the intruders neck.

"Name yourself!"

"W-woah there! Its me, Jullus!" A familiar albeit panicked voice called out. 

"Aro?" The Garlean sighed in relief, putting his weapon away.  "You startled me. Why and how are you here?"

"Emet told me to personally deliver this letter to you." Aro handed him the envelope. "Also, I guess you forgot you gave me spare keys 'in case anything happens,'" he jingled the spares in his other hand. 

Jullus' brows rose. That's right— he had totally forgotten that he gave spares to the Warrior of Light in case anything were to happen to him. After his superior's death and the betrayal of their former crown Prince, Jullus had a hard time trusting anyone as readily as he did before. 

And while he held a tiny bit of skepticism for Aro too when it came to personal matters, if it came down to it, he was still the most reliable person Jullus could confide in right now.

"Aren't you going to open it?" Aro asked, turning around on the couch to face Jullus better. 

"Ah, right." The young Garlean gingerly opened the envelope and unfurled the letter. "Oh… huh. Certainly not what I was expecting." Jullus murmured. 

Aro sat patiently for him to explain. 

"He's nominating me as one of the forefront leaders for the new governing system that's being worked on. An endorsement from the former Emperor… it would've been an amazing advantage not so long ago."

"You're worried that revealing the royal family involvement will make your position worse?" 

"No, not that. Believe it or not, we still have active royalists… mostly among older folk." Jullus chuckled bitterly as he sat down next to Aro. He exhaled deepily and continued.

"No, my worry is -regardless of my acceptance on this particular matter- I'm still apprehensive about your plan to make Emperor S… Emet-Selch's involvement the founding of our nation public information." 

He looked into the Miqo'te's eyes, pleading, almost. "Would you not grant us more time? Such a burden of truth could exhaust the mind's of our already bodily-weary countrymen… to the point of no recovery, I fear."

Aro's smile had dropped halfway. He gazed back at Jullus with a stern look. 

At times, Jullus thought, this man could be as cold as the climes of their mutual home.

"We have no stable form of government, the former senators are either dead or trying to take advantage of the situation for their own gains-" 

"Not all of them-" 

"Most of them," Aro interjected, "which means we must weed out any seeds of former corruption of our nation 'ere they gain back control. We will give the people the cold hard truth— and they'll be shaken up, sure… but they'll pull through. They always have. And they'll be stronger for it." 

Jullus exhaled deeply through his nose. He still didn't agree with this plan, especially now that he was seeing how cutthroat Aro was being about it. "Do you have another reason as to why you're doing this so brazenly?"

An uncomfortable silence passed between them before Aro shifted towards Jullus, his chin resting on the man's shoulder while his hand crept on the other side, his fingers tapping playfully along the man's skin.

"I may have one. But I cannot reveal it to you yet." 

Jullus's skepticsm only grew. He averted his eyes, turning his face away but otherwise making no attempt to flee Aro's closeness. 

"Has anyone told you that you're a stubborn hardass?" Jullus whispered, turning his face towards the Miqo'te's direction ever so slightly. 

Aro didn't let the opportunity slip him by, he planted a kiss on the man's lips, quickly deepening it, making it as rough as the words he spoke. Jullus tried to push back but soon he was melting into the embrace, too tired to fight back. When Aro pulled away, he pet Jullus' frazzled hair, looking at him with an expression one would make at a sweet child. 

"They have." Aro whispered. "More than you'll ever know."
