Day 7: I Love You for #WoLGrahaWeek2025 (and today, #grahatiaday!)

I did it, I finished Take Me Lost, Make Me Found! Enjoy not one but TWO final chapters for G'raha and his Warrior 💕

Read Chapter 8 and 9 here: archiveofourown.org/works/619446...

“Why me?” G’raha whispers, though perhaps he begins to see the shape of the answer.

Arkin smiles, his hand grazing G’raha’s shoulder, trying once again to heal the hurt there. This time, G’raha focuses on relaxing.

“I could ask you the same thing. I saw you, you know. In an Echo. You spoke of giving up your life for mine. And not only your life, but your precious time spent living. Why me? I wondered. Because I’m the Warrior of Light and Darkness? A tool worth saving at any cost?”

G’raha is already shaking his head, but he stills when Arkin thumbs over the shard of crystal in his cheek, wiping the tears there.

“Will you tell me?” his Warrior asks, so close their breath mingles. G’raha’s heart hammers in his chest, and he can feel its mirror all the way in Arkin’s fingertips. They find one another’s gaze, dizzy and almost overwhelming in their shared intensity.

It was a truth G’raha had hardly let himself consider, even within the confines of his Tower, his hood and robe shed in the solitude of the small hours. He pauses, unsure of how to give voice to it.

“It was the memory of you at first,” he begins slowly, “of our short time together. Those memories warmed me when little else could. And then, as the years passed… it was the myth of you. From what few scraps I had gathered before I arrived on the First.” The words come faster now, tumbling out of him. “Accounts spoke of your strength, aye, but even more of your boundless kindness, and I pinned my hopes on meeting that man once more before my end. But from the moment you let me into your room that night… the way you opened your heart for me, I—” The admission bubbles up, spills over. “‘Twas because I fell in love with you, over and over and over.”

"The glory of the heavens was ever beyond the grasp of those who never thought to reach for it.

But if I've gained anything from all of this, it is the courage to stretch out my hand."

Granson and Orion meet one another where they are, they keep each other focused, and make sure the nights are as full as the days. Very a king/lionheart coded but either could be in either position.

They’re my absolute beloveds and a veritable font of inspiration for me. 🥹

Granson sits with Orion in his lap in a small gazebo Granson sits with Orion tucked into his neck, the crystal tower in the background blurred Orion kissing Granson’s cheek in their kitchen in their pjs as the sun comes in the window Orion looks at Granson as they stand in a chapel, hands held with rings showing.

chapter 4 of a characteristically ambitious undertaking is up on AO3.

it's a... date? the boys are off to Ul'dah for something that definitely resembles a date.

post-ARR, m!WoL/G'raha, 8k words (this chapter), teen+

Fanfic screenshot: a a characteristically ambitious undertaking, by meowwdy. Chapter 4: Ul'dah, by day

Summary:
“I think he likes you,” Krile says, and G'raha turns red as a rolanberry.

“You can’t know that,” he protests immediately, ignoring her long-suffering sigh. “You’ve never met him —”

“Okay,” Krile cuts him off, “but you have, and I am basing my hypothesis on that secondhand data. What is your hypothesis?”

G'raha says the first thing that comes to mind. “That — that this is all some terrible mistake.”

Here's the uh. Disney Hercules AU that nobody asked for lol

#gpose #ffxiv #wolexarch
Soren wearing a light purple dress, her hand out pushing away a Crystal Mystel minion as she turns away. The lyrics to "I wont Say I'm In Love" from Disney's Hercules are on screen, saying "If there's a prize for rotten judgement, I guess I've already won that". Y'shtola, Lyna, Urianger, Thancred, and Ryne dance and sing like the five muses from the movie behind Soren, who is shrugging and looking upset. The lyrics say "No chance, no way, I won't say it no, no!" and the muses part says "You swoon, you sigh, why deny it, oh oh!" Soren leans against a statue of the Exarch (for the AU this is NOT THE SAD CRYSTAL VERSION ON GOD), the lyrics say "give up, give in, check the grin you're in love" Soren lays down on a bench by a fountain, holding an Elpis flower to her chest, lyrics singing "At least out loud, I won't say I'm in love"
