Summary
A collection of short fics done for the #ffxivwrite2021 writing challenge. As someone who never finishes/posts anything due to overlarge project ideas, perfectionism, and over-editing forever, this challenge was perfect for me!
This is mostly about my WoL and other FFXIV OCs that I have. Limited NPCs, oops. Many different POVs.
These were all written in gdocs. I wanted to edit them after the event and make them all pretty before posting here, but I figured that might be against the spirit of the event. So here they are, in unedited glory! If I ever choose to edit/extend any of these, I will post as a separate fic.
Chapters denoted with an asterisk are my personal faves or ones I had most fun writing.

Summary
Softly, you admitted, "It reminds me of us, a little. Sometimes I wonder if our meeting was fate. If it was written in red, somewhere in the stars."
"Red," I repeated. "Like astrophage."
If our meeting was truly written in the red of astrophage, then it would mean that the stars started dying for us—that the entire galaxy mourned for them by singing a dirge, and it was loud enough to be heard in the vast silence of the Big Nothing.
Perhaps the universe was torn in two a long time ago and is trying to pull the broken halves back together. For everything comes from stardust, from planets and moons to humans and Eridians. For across trillions of miles' worth of space and billions of years' worth of time, we existed at just the right parameters to have met each other. Then, perhaps the universe made me to love you, and perhaps the universe made you to be loved.
Perhaps that is what you call fate.
Or: Grace confesses his love. Rocky struggles to do the same, though not for the reasons you might think.

Summary
“Not so strange,” Rocky says mildly. “Back in not-so-distant past Eridian eat other Eridian all the time. Top of food chain. After natural disaster, war, not so much else to eat. Ecosystem delicate, especially if carnivore, especially if big. 🎵🎶 good thing to have to fall back on.”
“Cannibalism,” I manage to get out.
“New word. Cannibalism.”

Summary
You have to sign a waiver to ride the mechanical bull at Willie's. At face value this is so the establishment doesn't risk getting sued for any too-drunk idiots breaking an arm or leg or collarbone from getting thrown, but in reality it is so you can spend a minimum of five minutes filling out tedious paperwork and really, really thinking on what you're about to do. Ryland becomes less and less sure that the possibility of a double double with fries and- according to Marissa- a "gay little" strawberry shake is worth it with every box of personal information he completes, but while he is historically a quitter and a weenie and extremely happy to not do something if he really doesn't want to, he also knows that if he walks back to his best friend now she will never let him live this down.
Boy meets bull. Boy takes bet. Boy learns that college really is all about discovery.

Summary
The planet 40 Eridani a b is approximately sixteen point three light years away. She checked. It’s actually a very popular Google search these days.
He keeps having these dreams about a person with no face. It's on the tip of his tongue, really.
