Bold is the single line I wrote while doing In From the Cold on Nara. This is barely, edited it was entirely meant as an examination of how she'd react. As for the aftermath? An incredibly uneasy, distrustful collaboration with the Scions and the Alliance for the duration of Endwalker. (2/3) #ficwip
A snippet from a text document. In bold text it reads: “This is such a pain in the ass.” Stuffed into a body not her own, forced to listen to Fandaniel’s prattle. The weakness of frail garlean flesh resisting every effort she made to rebuild pathways to her aether. The text from here is no longer bold and reads: “Oh, dear! Whatever would happen if my lord were to greet your friends as you? I—” “In Zodiark’s name.” She snarled. “Shut your fucking mouth for once in your life Fandaniel.” Glyph flaring upon her borrowed face, her efforts at last proving fruitful. “Whatever it is you're plotting, hidden away from the oversight of Elidibus and Emet-Selch, know that they will not look kindly upon it.” “You—” “Oh dear! Did your lord not tell you?” She mimicked his irritating whine. “If you think my disappearance will go unnoticed, you are sorely mistaken. To answer your inane question, the Scions are like to attack him on sight.” The "oh dear!" in the final paragraph is italicised for emphasis.

Nara, and by extension Azem, is sun coded in a way I feel is summed up best by this tumblr post (beyond the obvious existing sun parallels with Azem).

Absolutely. It's already Nara's primary universe.

Nara is angry and hurting and broken herself, and she's lashing out at the person who is nearest who has had at least some hand in her pain. And she uses his feelings against him.

#ficwip below bc the brain worms and plot bunnies got me for this one
A snippet of a text document the poster is working on. The text reads: “I have to say, my dear, this is cruel. Even for me.” That voice. He tries to snap towards its source, but Nara is holding him in place with a hand on his chin, forcing him to keep his eyes on the mirror before him. His mouth goes dry, panicked breath catching in his throat. He’s gone rigid with fear and realisation that the mirror was not broken, instead she had lied to him. “You were supposed to deactivate the teleporter again until I returned.” Her voice is accusatory, aimed not at him but at Emet-Selch. He’s rigid with fear and the realisation that the mirror was not broken, instead she had lied to him. The trouble he’d had with the tower was not lingering weakness but interference. “Possess him and be done with this farce.” A shiver runs down his spine. “I tire of watching you play house with the boy.” “Nara—” He managed to croak, voice barely audible. “What have you done?” “Oh, Raha.” She purrs, and doesn't that feel like knives in his heart? He'd asked her to call him that after the first week of their isolation, and she'd kissed him so sweetly. “My poor Raha. If only you'd stayed in your room.” She smoothed a hand gently over his hair, petting him slowly and he recoiled. “I had so hoped you would let me have you willingly.” “No. You can’t—” She’s not answered his question, but that too is telling. The hand on his face is no longer bare, leather against his skin now, long metal talons curling against his cheek and his breath stutters again. “I don't want to hurt you, Raha.”

A bonus, 3 weeks late bc the brain worms got me tonight. Using the proto-alphabet, rather than Eorzean, Nara would not be writing *her* name, she'd be using Persephone.
A lined page. The writing on the page reads "Persephone" in FFXIV's ancient "proto-alphabet".

Not me spending all day stuck on this smut scene. I think I've written maybe a grand total of 300 words in 8 hours. Nara is only even (mostly) naked bc Hades cheats.

Sneak peek? Absolutely not anywhere near final of course.

A sneak peek of the poster's working text document. We are mid sex scene with Nara and Hades. The text reads “Please… I need—” Another snap and he’s kissing her near senseless again, grasp tightening as he seemingly tried to pull her even closer, his chest pressed to hers, her arms winding around his shoulders. His outer layers are gone, his shirt soft against her bare skin, beneath her palms. Every touch, every motion seemed perfectly targeted to take her apart piece by piece, her desperation for him building. “As responsive as ever, my dear.” It’s barely a whisper against her lips, breathless and rough. And the threads connecting them pull taut, and she’s drowning in him—truly this time—he is all she knows. “To feel the pulse of your soul in mine again is almost overwhelming after so long. This is where you belong, where you’ve always belonged. Here. With me.”

A handful of tumblr posts for Nara
A tumblr post. It reads "Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that they the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, they'll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? It's not like it matters. They're not a person, they're just a role being played. They're the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, he's fine. Everything's fine.". A tumblr post. It reads "died and came back wrong and no one could tell the difference". A tumblr post. It reads "love a character that's like. i survived (<- not a brag) (<- this is a curse that weighs on me every waking hour)" A tumblr post. It reads "character who is sun-coded but not in the traditional ray-of-sunshine way. character who is sun-coded in the sense that they burn hot and bright and powerful, that they're a raging fury of fire and passion, and that maybe, just maybe, they are destroying themselves as they do so."

When I went back to edit this one I decided I hated it. So I rewrote it completely. It is…using a less than idyllic interpretation of the prompt. 6&7 may have some delay, soulbound needs to be edited before/alongside legacy, to keep them cohesive archiveofourown.org/works/65789881 #emetwolweek25

Nara owns a cottage. It's nicely furnished. She's rarely there & has very few people she trusts enough to invite over. One of her neighbours maintains the property while she's away (which is an in character explanation for me allowing a friend to use my garden slot & he cleans/feeds my stable too)
