day 2: a realm reborn / challenge there is some more problems at the ol' longstop, but luckily, celebrity Brayflox Alltalks has been talking with some friends in the area! here paparazzi has captured her enlisting help from fellow queer maid, supposedly named Tsubame 📸 #xivwomenweek

a shot from a low angle that shows brayflox and tsubame in the storeroom of the ninja guild's hideout in eastern la noscea. tsubame is in casual clothes, but she is signaling that she's ready to fight

from a higher angle, we can see that brayflox is carrying a knife. is it possible that she is learning from these sneaky savants?!

a snippet from the linked fic. it reads:

“We’re on the Fourth, I think. Above it maybe.”

“Why?” Emm asks.

“We are following Calyx and Halmarut, and Calyx said this was where they would be.”

“Okay… but why am I here?”

a shot with the slight sepia filter of the echo. back in the time of 1.0, y'shtola laughs at the enthusiasm of a woman called yda. it's almost impossible to see yda waving, as it blurs into memory

day 26: susurrus in which tataru crafts an outfit perfect for a successor archiveofourown.org/works/93354716 #FFxivwrite2026

a snippet from the linked fic. it reads:

There is a large box there. She gingerly opens the flaps and shifts the crinkly paper filling that had covered the top for safe transport to the Rising Stones. Only notes exist for the Warrior’s adventurer’s gear, for the first sets she made for Lyse, Alisaie, Y’shtola, and Alphinaud. Below those are five wrapped boxes.

She should sell them. They would surely go for quite a princely sum, being some of her first designs, but… Tataru has always been sentimental. The very kind necklace the Warrior made her stays safely tucked under her shirt. She hasn't found a good time to bring it up, but she's slowly been reusing pieces of these designs in her others for years.

a snippet from the linked fic. it reads:

“The original Sphene had the first model of this mech made to protect her as she fought alongside her people. Zoraal Ja saw the sheer damage it could cause, but he couldn’t figure out how to use it, so he made our engineers modify it to fit two pilots.”

“But it didn’t work?”

“It did not.” Sphene’s fingers brush over a dusty panel. “It requires a certain amount of compatibility for two minds to manipulate one mech. He could not trust me enough for us to drift into one will.”

“And, for some reason, you think I trust you?”

Sphene just smiles. She tilts her head. “You followed me this far, have you not?”

a snippet from the linked fic. it reads:

Stephanivien presses his nose into the crown of Artoirel's head. The day had gone so well, from introducing his husband to the graceful Rroneek to an evening dancing away in the rowdy saloon. He's not sure it could get much better.

He pulls the Tube from it's protective sling. The goo blobs within it shift around, and Steph almost thinks he sees it bubble in the direction of the window. Shaaloani passes by in almost complete darkness.

It is clear the moment they pass into the dome. Even the interior of the car, which had been dimmed for their comfort, takes on a decidedly purple hue. The stone outside is darker, but the sky buzzes with untapped energy in between bright shocks of lightning. Steph can see Everkeep, towering over the land in the distance.

a snippet from the linked fic. it reads:

“You deserve a break, love.” Steph interlaced their fingers.

Artoirel stared at their hands with an apologetic smile. “Aymeric deserves it far more than me.”

“Why? You've gone through much of the same thing for two years straight. Why can't you both deserve a moment of peace?”

“Aymeric has been carrying the weight of Ishgard for years longer. He was fighting for all of her people while I was sulking around in my rooms glaring at Haurchefant like some territorial housecat.”

Stephanivien mulled over the answer. “Do you think Emmanellain deserves it?” When Artoirel had nothing to say, Steph spoke again. “What makes you different?”

Artoirel closed his eyes tight. “For all his faults, Emmanellain has always had a kinder heart.”

“...Is that what this is? Some kind of penance?”

a snippet from the linked fic. it reads:

Artoirel darts to the side, his eyes wide with alarm as he sees the boss turn. The necromancer casts something that shoots fear into Emm’s very bones. He glances behind him to look for Steph, only to see the turret is also grasped by some enchantment.

Because of this, he loses sight of his brother for just long enough for everything to go to shit. One moment he's frozen in the dark, with an umbral malaise racing towards his heart, and the next…

He is back in Quarrymill, a place Emm hasn't seen for at least a moon. Steph is there besides him. Artoirel is nowhere to be seen.

Steph returns to his own house. His biceps ache from the fuel he's been lugging around, but he's in a much better place than most to do it. Everyone is in pain with the weather as it is. Steph is used to the pain, and more than that, he can keep his muscles from freezing by cranking up the amount of lightning aether stimulating them through his implanted aetherotransformer. He has held up longer than many knights due to the steady shocks keeping his body awake.

“Oi,” comes a rough voice when Steph walks directly into a broad chest dressed for far warmer weather. “Put that down. ‘s time t’ rest.”

“Tsul’rekshi,” Sallow says. Several parts of the name extend into hisses. The hag takes the demon’s paw in her hand, wrinkled fingertips feeling the texture of leathery paw pads. A claw pops out of the toe when it reflexively curls. Cute.

She would’ve comforted Estinien, if he was by her side. Niko knew Haurchefant meant almost as much to him as the knight did to her. But Estinien is on the opposite side of the city, comforting his Aymeric, while she sits alone.

Aymeric deserves comfort after all he’s been through. He deserves a moment of peace, held by hands that don’t want to hurt him, after his courage (stupid as it may have been) got him punished. Maybe he and Estinien are consoling each other.

Niko is alone.

a snippet of the linked fic. it reads:

It wasn’t hard to find Artoirel. If anything could be said about the boy, it was that he stuck strictly to a routine. He always spent lunch at the second to last table in the library, one half out of view of the priestess who watched it, but with enough space from anyone else that he could get lost in his own little world. That year, they had approved him to take some advanced classes, and the young lord spent his modicum of peace studying without having to worry about household duties or little brothers. It did not sound quite like paradise to Stephanivien. The blond had made it his own duty to make sure that, after a token amount of time to study for the difficult course, there was a little bit of sunlight in his life.

By the time Steph arrived, Artoirel had fallen asleep on his book. It wasn’t the first time that had happened, and Steph knew that walking loudly and waking him suddenly would not go well. Steph instead carefully took a seat just to the side of him and began peeling the orange he brought for lunch.

Star crossed lovers like those of Azim and Nhaama, forced to never see one another and instead leaving gifts for their children so the other might see it and smile.”

Estinien raised an eyebrow, his drink finally loosening his tongue enough to ask questions. “Do you have some experience in the area?”

“Not quite. Not the same as yours. Nothing pushes him to stay, in fact, it keeps pushing him away, and yet that stubborn arse won't abandon responsibility to the wind and run away with me.”

emmanellain (who looks the same as vanilla except that she's using a fem!elezen model with the. lightning hair) is excited after the grand melee. she says: "The future holds so much promise. So much joy. We need only show them the way."

emmie looking down at her hands, saying: "Hah hah...my lungs are burning, and I can barely stand!"

emmie hitting the /hknight and saying: "After a thousand years of hardship, of strife and bloodshed, we are strong enough to rise to any challenge—be it on the battlefield or belong."

emmie in her more casual outfit for the firmament quests. the first line of her speech bubble says: "Always a pleasure to aid a fellow man!"

day 6: free day femmanellain de fortemps can be real if there is love in your heart. we can save her in a world where artoirel is a problem DM and sicard is a problem player, emm is just doing her best #strwpupdnd archiveofourown.org/works/92137041 #FFxivwrite2026

a snippet from the linked fic. it reads:

That is how the night begins: with Sicard driving Emmie to Artoirel’s house. Him in that nice leather, and- and the other him in the stupid dress. Emmie fidges with the skirt the whole ride there, making sure it sits nice.

“Quit that,” Sicard says. “You’re making me anxious and we aren’t even there yet.”

day 5: preservation in which this too is yuri (this too is also stephtoirel a little to the left) archiveofourown.org/works/92075006 #FFxivwrite2026

a snippet of the linked fic. it reads:

Shale looks a little bit like a kicked puppy. Apophyllite takes a deep breath. The other woman has grown attached to that child, and so much of what she does has been focused on teaching him or searching for him. It is going to end horribly. At the very least, she is not going to like what they find about Teeshal Ja.

She should just say she knows nothing. Who cares if these outsiders go into that danger? They’ll find out one way or another.

Shale leans a little closer and whispers. “Please, Poppy? Can you at least tell us about what we should be worried about?”

a picture of six characters. the back three are carvallain de durendaire, artoirel de fortemps, and stephanivien de haillenarte. the front three are larimar (a canonically unnamed citizen of solution nine), apophyllite (my oc, a white woman with slicked back black hair in a scientist's coat), and shale (dawntrail npc). each of the characters in the front row share some resemblance with characters in the back row

day 4: surge a prequel to a fic from last year, in which steph explains his plan to help reduce the impacts of levin sickness to queen sphene. partially inspired by my actual aetherotransformer medical device to help against chronic pain archiveofourown.org/works/92013851 #FFxivwrite2026

a snippet from the linked fic. it reads:

A laugh rings out from the usher. “I appreciate that you’re willing to share the ins and outs of this, but I’ll be just fine so long as it works.”

Steph returns his attention to the device, his invention, attached to the back of her neck. It seemed a simple fix at first. He’d made a device before to counter chronic illness with elemental principles, one that is embedded in his back even now, and surely it would just be the opposite of that to stabilize overactive nerves, right? No, the kind of illness brought forever ago by the Storm Surge needed two more channels to create that barrier.
