Summary
"Two Crownsguard," Daisy repeats, getting agitated. "Are ya into trouble my boy?"
Noct isn't - shouldn't - be in trouble. He's a nineteen-year-old who needs two jobs to pay rent and spends his leisure time gaming and fishing. He doesn't even go drinking with other people his age at the pub because it requires talking and having friends - both things Noct doesn't exactly excel at.
"No? No, I- no I don't think so..."
There's no reason for Crownsguards to...Oh.
'That could be the reason', Noctis thinks bitterly.
***
Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum is kidnapped during Fenestanor Manor and assumed dead. Two years later, a young, amnesiac 8 year-old-boy at the edge of Lucis's borders is assumed to be the prince, until a negative DNA test crushes his dream of finding his family.
More than a decade later, two Crownsguards return for a new investigation. Noct Stella doesn't believe in fairy tales anymore, but he isn't one to refuse a free ride to Insomnia to start his life anew. -

Summary
Kaeya’s reaction had barely been noticeable. If Diluc hadn’t spent half of his life by the other man’s side, he would probably have missed the fearful jolt.A hand was fondling Kaeya’s tight.
Fleeting panic sparkled in Kaeya’s widened pupil, raw but as bright as a drop of oil falling into the fire. Diluc watched. The panic didn’t go away.
Something raw strangled him at the throat, building up and threatening to overcome him.Diluc hadn’t felt that way since Snezhnaya.
"It's on the house."
Luckily, his voice was easier to disguise as pleasant, unlike his vision which was betraying Diluc’s emotion, burning brightly against its master’s hip, hidden under the cover of his bartender’s apron.***
The Angle's Share storage room is the perfect place to hide little bothers from stalking gentlemen from Fontaine. It's also a great place to hold reconciliations. -

Summary
Le mouvement avait été à peine perceptible. S'il n'avait pas vécu avec Kaeya la moitié de sa vie, Diluc n'aurait probablement pas remarqué le sursaut craintif. Une main s'était posée sur la cuisse de Kayea. La panique s'exprima, fugace, dans la pupille écarquillée de Kaeya, brutale et brillante comme une goutte d'huile jetée sur le feu.
Diluc ne la vit pas disparaître.
La rage le prit à la gorge, menaçant de l'emporter. Il n'avait pas ressenti cela depuis Snezhnaya.
"C'est la maison qui offre."
Heureusement Diluc maîtrisait encore sa voix. Mieux que sa vision qui, elle, brûlait ardemment contre sa hanche, dissimulée sous son tablier.

Summary
To Ignis' surprise, Ravus snorted loudly.
"Really? Didn't you spend a year on the road after Insomnia's fall?"
“Well," Ignis admitted, feeling like the city boy he had been in front of the brazen wildness of Leide all those years ago," we were lucky to have a mechanic helping us.”If Ignis had been asked to pinpoint the moment he had started to understand Ravus, it wouldn't have been when the man had reached Tent City for the first time, a wave of refugees in tow, nor when he had fought along Ignis' side for the first time.
It would have been the moment when they had stood together in front of that open trunk.
If Ravus was to say when he had first started to fancy Ignis - although never aloud - he would have chosen that moment too. -

Summary
"What do you think?"
Prompto lifts his head and immediately snorts.
"What is that supposed to be?"
"An angel,” Noctis replies, wiggling his fingers to make the ornament spin.
"I guess I see it...that would be the wings, right? So...That part would be...the head?"
"It's hideous."***
It's the first Yule after the Dawn and our chocobros get to celebrate it together. -

Summary
Culture shock kicks Noctis in the face when he sets foot on Gralea’s campus where he’s enrolled. Why is everyone in the Empire so hung up about the Lucian Prince being an exchange student, anyway? It’s a hassle to ask the faculty to be discreet about it.
At least his three roommates don’t seem to be aware he’s a prince - that, or they are just nice enough not to mention his position.
And, well, if Noctis doesn’t say anything either it’s technically not a lie.
Merely misinformation. -

Summary
"Look," Dustin called with that polished, Tenebrean accent of his. "There is another one here."
When Cor reached his level, Dustin gestured towards the row of pods. Eyes squinting, he found the one his partner was referring to. It stood out from the rest, for it was the only one unbroken. Inside laid another one of those blonde children's bodies, identical to so many others.
Except for the fact its eyes were open and moving.Series

For some reasons, Noctis' Chamberlain hated him, even if he did it politely. Prompto could't figure out why, and it made him kind of angry.
It took a little bit more than a year, a Citadel lockdown and Noctis probably dying to get his answer.
AKA the story of how Prompto called Ignis 'Iggy' for the first time and learned a King gets more than one Shield.Series

Summary
He struggled to open his eyes and realized he was curled on the floor.And damn, the world hurt.
'It's over.' His relief barely perked up through the heavy blanket of exhaustion.All he had to do was lay here and wait for someone to rescue.
"Shit, the kid is still alive."
Prompto could have recognized that cold voice anywhere. It definitely didn't belong to the rescue team.This was written as a short epilogue to "White Sneaker" but can be read as a stand-alone.

Summary
"Please", Noctis croaked, cradling Prompto's chin with his two hands.
Joyful eyes were now aimlessly staring up ahead, void of any recognition or any will.
'Don't cry, little Prince.' Like a poisonous snake, Ardyn's sweet tone slided through the ceiling. 'This unit has only been reseted. I promised you he would stay alive, didn't I?'
When you're struggling, hope is light. When you fail, it becomes a shard.Series

Summary
Prompto opened his eyes to the sight of blood spots on his white shoes.
The very same pair of sneakers that he had begged Cor to purchase for him as a gift at the beginning of the school year. Cor, who was neither his father nor his foster parent, but who looked after him like a godfather anyway. Cor, who abhorred spending unnecessary funds on trinkets, but ended up paying a pair of shoes a third of his wage just because they were trendy and Prompto had wanted to look cool.
Barely one semester in, and Prompto got them ruined.Series
