Here We Go Again

Summary:

In a secluded island off the south of Accordo, Noctis is getting ready to wed Lunafreya, an art student who's frequented the island the past few years, for reasons no one can comprehend. Ignis, who's tended to Noctis for ten tears, is knee deep in wedding preparations as well as in running their family owned hotel, which bustles with activity in the summer despite its obscurity.

Sheltered and naive, a little drunk but well intentioned, Noctis invites all three strangers from Ignis’s past to his wedding, in the hopes that Ignis might still feel something for at least one of them, and that Ignis could get his own happy ending too.

a.k.a. the mamma mia au that no one asked for

Notes:

long time no see, I've been busy chipping away at this monster for the past year.

I have always wanted to write this AU and finally got the chance to do so for the Gladnis Bang. Thank you to @freshlyjulie for the amazing accompanying art illustrating chapter 11. you can see her art in ch11 but check her out on twitter as well!

notes: the POVs will jump between flashbacks (2011) and the present time (2021). ages in the present time to orientate yourself: gladio and ignis: 30s, nyx: late 30s, cor: 40s, noctis: 21, luna: 23, iris: 20s

Strap yourselves in and I hope you all enjoy

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

9th June, M. E. 2021

On a distant pier out in the open ocean, the water’s surface was almost pitch black in the early morning, Noctis stood in front of a post box, a heavy throbbing through his temples, the cold morning breeze nipping at his cheeks doing nothing to assuage the hangover he sported from the night prior.

What am I doing?

On the horizon, the rising sun’s first few rays began to spill across the dark ocean.

With a deep breath, Noctis pulled back the handle of the post box, and dropped three envelopes inside.
