Summary
But moments later, when he hears the howling of multiple voretooths in unison behind him, coming from the same trees he'd crept through, he realises Gladio had been right. "Shit. How many?" he asks even as he whirls around to face the copse, knowing his Shield easily has the last voretooth with them.
Gladio's tone sounds even more grim now, somehow. "Too many to count."
It was supposed to be a simple hunt. Go to Cauthess, find the pack of voretooth, and kill them. Easy money, right? Unfortunately it takes only a moment for things to go wrong, and Noct and Gladio soon learn that the hard way.

Summary
How many times has he allowed Noct's tired, seemingly sullen responses to let his blood boil and devolved into a scathing lecture without ever attempting to find the why of that behaviour? What he'd taken for apathy had been depression. The signs had been there, and he'd ignored them. For months.

Summary
"You didn't call me because you were bored," his dad says then, the words quiet, and he sighs. Not one of annoyance, just... acceptance.
"No," Noct admits, and takes another bite of his muffin.
An impulsive call to his dad at three am has Regis showing up at Noct's apartment unannounced, leaving him scrambling to play host while struggling to hide the troubles bouncing about in his mind. But after an awkward night of muffins, snow-watching, and hot cocoa, Noct decides that maybe he's ready to talk after all.
Written for FFXV Fatherly Love Week on twitter! Day 7. Prompt: child it's three in the morning.

Summary
"Very well," he says, unable to keep the resigned tone from his voice. "I'll stay."
At his words, Noctis stops his screaming, but breathy little sobs still escape him as tears trail down his face. "You're gonna stay?" he asks, swiping an arm across his snot-soaked nose.
Both the action and the hopeful note in his voice make Regis wince. He nods anyway. "Yes," he says, ruthlessly smothering the guilt that flares up. He'll stay, but only until Noctis inevitably falls asleep from exhaustion, and then he'll sneak away like the coward he is.
The aftermath of the daemon attack and the invasion of Tenebrae have taken a toll on eight year old Noctis, leaving him with separation anxiety and Regis at his wit's end. Desperate to ease Noct's fears, he turns to Ignis for answers, who gives him a solution: a stuffed animal to remind him of his dad and help him feel protected.

Summary
"I... wanna take him with us," she says slowly, aware how ridiculous of an idea it is. She doesn't know the first thing about coeurls. But her heart aches at the thought of abandoning him to die.
What was supposed to be a routine hunt for a coeurl turns into a not so routine rescue instead, and the sight of a newly orphaned cub dredges up the grief for her father that Iris has been trying to push down since Insomnia's fall.
Written for FFXV Fatherly Love Week on twitter! Day 6. Prompt: child brings home a stray animal.

Summary
50episodes was a challenge community on livejournal where you picked a character from a fandom, and then a table with 50 different themes, and you wrote a scene or short segment of a fic using that character and based on each of those themes. I claimed Tidus, and wrote mine as ficlets. I did not finish either of the two tables I picked.

Summary
“I’m losing my senses, aren’t I?” he said quietly. He clenched his hands on the armrests of the chair. “One by one. I’m losing them.”
He wanted Merlin to make a joke about it. Something deadpan and snarky and so typically him, like, “You never had any sense to begin with, you prat.”
But Merlin didn’t make any jokes, and Arthur almost felt like he couldn’t breathe.
Arthur's world is turned upside down when he's cursed to lose a sense every day.

Summary

Initially published 2009I use single quotes ‘to mark dialogue’ not “doubles”. This is a British publishing standard according to the Oxford Style Manual, and it's just my habit these days 😁
Hope you enjoy the story!
P.s. Please do not post any of my fanfictions on GoodReads. Thank you!
