ngl i also really love the claim "ffxiv literally has so much femslash potential"

ffxiv cant keep its female characters alive for longer than 3 seconds. where are they having this femslash potential, in the aetherial sea?

(yes yes g/aiary/ne and sa/du/cirin/a exist and have chemistry. theyre even still alive! but like... you know what i mean.)

"you can ship zero and shtola!!" WE LEFT ZERO ON THE MOON???

personally i went back to tales for my "female characters with screentime and characters arcs" and "shipping f/f" fixes. on account of. lmfao ffxiv

Fic rec: "Monarchs in Flight" by rabbitprint

46k, Mature, Fraywol

Really lovely Fraywol fic. It's an au where the Warrior of Light (Meteor here, not an OC.) takes Feo Ul up on their offer and takes over Titania's throne, so Fray takes over as the Warrior of Light. Use of language is fantastic, feels wholly fresh even though it's a partial retelling of MSQ. relationship is well-developed and sweet even with sparse on-page interactions. https://archiveofourown.org/works/25942720/chapters/63059617

There's a sort of loose sequel in the same universe by the same author, too, "you and me and this bonfire makes three"

(12k, Teen, Fray&Gaia with background Fraywol and Gaiaryne) https://archiveofourown.org/works/42274785

look inside ur job quest & u will find a ship no one else has ever even heard of

honestly xiv fandom is so fucking lonely if you only care about npc/npc and end up reading side content. i can whine about being lonely in tales but at least people actually know who the chars im talking about are (well more often than in xiv fandom which is Just One Game)

and like sure, my doh/dol job quests ships are extreme, cherry-picked examples that i'm not super passionate about but. man.

Thinking about it, it's poetic that in the end Omega decided perfection involved imitating humans when the race that created it had shed their own humanity, isn't it.

It's just such a cute characterization detail that vrtra speaks human language even from his main body. All of the other dragons, afaicr, speak dravanian. but vrtra loves his people so much! he learned their language!! its cute! i love him!
