Summary
'“That doesn’t mean anything,” says Terra, snatching his phone back. “Liking someone’s Kingstagram posts is not an indication of romantic interest.
“Oh, my young, naïve friend. Yes, it is.”
“I’m older than you!”
“I guess…if you want to get technical.”'
Or the one where Axel teaches Terra that sometimes, there’s more to a like than meets the eye.

Summary
In the depths beneath the imperial palace, in a prison called the Aerie, lives a boy with amber eyes and dragon wings. Dion has never known kindness, never been treated as anything but a weapon—until nine-year-old Terence stumbles upon his cage and sees a person where everyone else sees a monster.
Over years of stolen visits and whispered promises, Terence teaches Dion to read, to hope, to believe he deserves more than chains and darkness. He brings him books and honey cakes, brushes his hair with gentle hands, and promises that one day they’ll see the world together.
Or
A loosely canon divergent AU where Bahamut is feared rather than revered. Sylvestre’s first heir is thought to have died at birth and Dion grows up in cell deep in the dungeons of Whitewyrm, raised to believe he is nothing more than a weapon.Bookmarked by After_the_Lights

Summary
It was Moss the Chronicler who said that the land of Valisthea is blessed in the light of the Mothercrystals, and that it was this light which finally led our forebears out of the darkness. Yet what they saw in the light gave rise to temptation. Temptation that ever lures us back into the crystals' shadow. And thus did our journey begin.
A retelling of Final Fantasy XVI.
