Summary
Wherein I put Heavensward, old school sword and sorcery, paranormal romance, and a whole lot of polyamory in a blender and enjoy the indulgence that comes out.
More specifically, wherein a rather post-apocalyptic Coerthas, Estinien does something drastic to assist Aymeric and sets off an unexpected chain of events that leads to what one advance reader called "Estinien Wyrmblood's Great Polyamorous Awakening".
So yeah, that's the fic.

Using this as a catch-all for FFXIVWrites prompts from 2023 that happen to catch my attention or any other challenges that I lack the energy to do full fic for but am inspired to poetry, drabbles, fragments, and other such ephemera.

Summary
All your life, there are certain boxes -- certain shapes -- you stay within, because you don't realize you may have the tools to stretch them.

(That means magical genital shenanigans, folks, with a dose of gender exploration.)

Summary
"Borel. Are you nervous?" Estinien turns his head to look at Aymeric.
"No. Yes. By the Fury, I want to turn your skin a glowing red, hear your screams, to wreck you, but…"
"Good," Estinien interrupts him. "Because I want you to do all of that and more."

Summary
Aymeric and Estinien are in love. It would just be great, Lucia thinks, if they would tell each other some time before the Eighth Umbral Calamity.
What's lying in the bed is somehow not The Azure Dragoon, former possessed of Nidhogg, or even Aymeric's coarse-yet-loyal friend, but one of the most beautiful men she has ever laid eyes on.
To her everlasting shame, Lucia lets out a small laugh—a sound of pure shock.
Aymeric tuts. "Yes, quite. He looks terrible."
Terrible.

Summary
Post-Dragonsong War, Estinien has much to contemplate.
A familiar, heart-deep mourning has lurked within him for such a time he knows there is no deed enough to quench it. There is no action decisive enough, vicious enough, desperate enough to sate its unbearable pervasiveness. He oft contemplates that he will perish alongside this despair. This rage. Alone, he feels he is nothing more than it. That, stripped from his armor, his title, there is a scared child, punching and crying and begging to be left to rot. To rest. To fall back into the the grass of the Hushed Bough and disintegrate into the remains of Ferndale -- the last relic of a forgotten village collapsing, at last, into barren, sterile, dirt.functionally complete as of chapter 6
