1) from my universal shake-up [aka Julian and Shun were raised together, both know they are gods, and most Saints/Mariners/Specters have found new homes] (pairing was sprung from reading oopsbirdficced‘s gorgeous Mū/Saga stuff)
Mū made his way over to Saga, settling down next to him on the plush sofa in the study and placed his head on his lover’s shoulder. “Quiet night in?” he asked, a hopeful note in his voice, silently hoping that the pair would be able to get one - especially in light of the events of the party they attended earlier in the day at the House of Solo (always nice to know that the brat, ah, the darling, oh, who was he fooling - he couldn’t keep the snark from forming as he thought about that pain in the ass from Sanctuary - godling was finally awake).
“One can hope,” Saga said, setting his book on his lap and shifting so he could wrap an arm around Mū’s shoulders, pulling him closer. He placed a small kiss to the younger man’s temple, enjoying this rare quiet moment without the headaches that came with dealing with the rest of the house guests. (Not that he minded the Mariners staying at the estate but he drew a firm line in the sand when it came to them barging in on his private time - especially when it was his younger brother, or as Kanon was prone to remind him, Saga was only the older sibling by a scant handful of minutes.)

2) Tale as old as time [Beauty and the Beast meets Saint Seiya]
Eira knew she should have been heading up to the Temple of the Golden Ram (or whatever fancy as all fuck name Athena had given the Temple of Aries - she never could quite recall what it was, but then, she never really bothered) to try and find Mū, but, and there it was, a massive and overwhelming but - she wasn’t quite ready to face him, no matter how much she wished to. Instead, she took a turn, heading away from the temples and to a more remote location. She shivered, but not just from the chill in the air but from the unwanted memories of when she had been someone else. Her reunion with Mū could wait a while longer - long enough to come to terms with the fact that she recognized the spell that Hera used, and she couldn’t remember how to break it! That was what was killing her - she knew this spell, hell, she even had cast it back then (or rather, something eerily similar to it), but she honestly could not recall how the spell was broken. Hellfire and damnation, she mentally swore - what did that Greek hero do to break this spell?

okay - got a plan to tackle gen6 of the one tree. Probably would help when I type up all the way to gen5, that way, I'm not flipping back and forth and losing track of which offspring I'm on. Names can come at my leisure - I just want places made for later

..only 108 generations left on the tree..
strongheartmaid: (crying)
you realized you messed up an entire generation in a family tree because you miscounted living offspring. Ugh.

637 words into the prolog for my newest XV fic - why do I think I'm going to be giving birth to a monster, considering I'm not yet done with the prolog?

and a later section is 721 and that's only the start of that section. I hadn't even gotten to the main storyline yet! I'm still in a flashback for that 721-word section!

edit: current word count for the prolog brings it to 1190 and I still haven't gotten into the story proper! I swear, monster.

edit 12/13: Current word count for the prolog is 1817 and not into the story itself yet. Still laying down the background.

 the moment you realize a character is a complete and utter bastard and you can't for the life of you think of writing him in a fluff piece so you have to scrap the current fic and start over from the ground up. (Luckily, the character only is in the backstory and not in the current storyline so it's not that much of a rewrite but still.. Fuck you, Ardyn, just.. fuck you..)

hmm..

which sounds better:
1) Mane apud me fili amica mea
2) Manere mecum, deliciae meae filius.

both mean "Stay with me, my darling son." - I just used two different translation programs. (Curse trying to figure out what the hell the ancient version of a video game's language would be)

AN: Chrysanthus - meaning: Golden Flower
Althaea - meaning: Healing

Ardyn decided that not for the first time in his life that the Astrals were unbelievable bastards, even Shiva with her so-called affection for humanity was counted amongst the bunch. He had started a slow walk towards his Shield before it became a mad scramble to his side. "Chrysanthus!" he cried, embracing his friend, his Shield, tightly. "What did they do to you?" he asked, tears that were slowly turning inky black with Starscourge racing down his cheeks. "What did they do to you..."
 
Chrysanthus blinked slowly, a dazed expression on his features before it slowly faded away as recognition blossomed. "Ardyn," he breathed, relieved that his friend, his Prince, was still alive - for whatever definition of alive that could be used to describe the man before him, a man he had loyally served, did loyally serve he amended - he could never serve the brother that demonized his king. "It is nothing." A faint wince crossed his features - stretching the credibility of that statement to the limit.
 
"Do not lie to me," Ardyn bit out. "That brand is not nothing. Who did this to you?" he asked, a snarl clear in his voice. Someone hurt someone dear to him and that someone would pay dearly. He didn't know how, he didn't know when, but that person would pay dearly.

Chrysanthus said nothing, unsure of how to explain the who and the why and the logic behind it when he himself barely understood it.

"It was the Draconian, my husband," a soft feminine voice said as she approached, moving to comfort her husband. "He blamed Chrysanthus for failing to keep you from quote falling from grace so he felt that he quote had no choice but to punish him for his failure." It was clear the woman felt no love for the draconic Astral.

"Althaea," Ardyn breathed, letting his Shield free so he could hug his beloved wife. "Althaea." He buried his face in the soft curve of her neck and let out a choked sob.

Althaea gently stroked his husband's back, comforting him. "It is not your fault, my husband. Full blame goes to the Draconian."

Broken Shield - the Healer King story

Ardyn decided that not for the first time in his life that the Astrals were unbelievable bastards, even Shiva with her so-called affection for humanity was counted amongst the bunch. He had started a slow walk towards his Shield before it became a mad scramble to his side. "Chrysanthus!" he cried, embracing his friend, his Shield. "What did they do to you?" he asked, tears that were slowly turning black with Starscourge racing down his cheeks. "What did they do to you..."

-

Dented Shield - the Noctis + Gladio story.

A soccer ball rolled down the street, forgotten until it hit the bumper of a car, setting off the car alarm, instantly drawing attention to it. One Crowe Altius (although currently in disguise as Cynthia Argentum - at least Drautos was allowing her to keep her initials the same - and she had to admit, the kid she was watching over for Cor was a precious little ball of sunshine) stepped outside, wondering why her car alarm was going off. Her dark gaze drifted up the ways where she saw the Shield kneeling by his prince, a look of undisguised panic on his face. "Shit," she swore as she raced down, flicking on her earpiece to get into contact with the rest of the Glaives. "Pelna, send an ambulance to my location. The Star is winking out, repeat, the Star is winking out."

I was going to wait until I had about 700mb worth of data from icons but I've lost my will to be patient

so, the disc will have Beanstalk Bravado, Epic Winter Trailer/Prince of Apple's Destiny, Wish List and some Rosabella/Daring icons. (I may transfer what icons I do have previously made from my flash drive to the disc - but I won't know until I see what icons are there)

bleh - I hate being down a flash drive port, it would have made life so much easier

managed to fight my .gif maker to get animated icons that are the right size for LJ

animated Jillian, Rosabella, Daring and Farrah. Plus a sparkly title card for Epic Winter :3 So happy to have figured it out!

edit: dang it - some are still a little too large. ::kicks the size limit:: But I did add in Faybelle and Apple to the animated icon crew. I think I'll redo the ones that are oversized. Found an awesome tutorial that helped me get a few of the icons the right size (yay icons with mini-movies in them. And LJ size compliant!)
