He was becoming increasingly less sure of his ability to hold back until Zhai'a decided he was satisfied, a precarious state he was no doubt aware of even without a white mage's heightened ability to sense the flow of aether within another person's body.

"Mm. That sounded rather like begging to me.'

"Fuck, Zhai'a, at least let me touch you," B'alith gasped. He writhed against the pressure keeping him restrained, ears pinned flat and a needy whine rising in his throat as he tried to free his hands again.

"Have you learned your lesson this time?"

"…Probably not."

day 28 - on thin ice

amaris fears she’ll meet the same fate as every other living thing trapped in coerthas’ bitter snows, and in turn, she seeks refuge

[ #📝 | #ffxivwrite2026 | #ffxivwrite ]

Amaris cannot recall a time where she was ever as cold as she is now.

The western highlands of Coerthas boast the greatest of snows and the harshest of temperatures. Were her teeth not chattering, bone against bone, she would wax poetic about the countless living things that have gone extinct in these lands after the Calamity and how she fears she will meet the same miserable fate.

She is no stronger than a plant, and surely no much stronger than the hearty creatures that used to roam these lands. She feels no smarter, either. Why did she barrel out into a growing blizzard? An image of Lord Artoriel's face dripping in a demanding evaluation flickers in the dark of her squinted eyes' vision. She knows why she does it but that truth doesn't make it any better.

She should run. Run to follow the path left by the fleeing heretic or run far, far away from Coerthas, she is not sure.

Amaris grits her teeth as she presses through the white that makes every attempt to overtake her — her breath growing short as it drags through her chest like a knife. Each step she takes is makes new ankle-deep prints in the snow and slowly, she swears she can barely feel the ground below her.She isn't sure how long she walks, but nothing will stop her from being confident that she sees windmills in the distance. Where there are windmills, there are buildings. Where there are buildings, there is warmth.

One step at a time is all it takes, and when she reaches her potential warmth — an abandoned barn — she falls into it hard and fast. Despite her thick attire, she can feel how the stone floor cuts at her skin and is grateful for it. The feeling means she hasn't frozen solid yet.

She gains her bearings and pushes herself up to her feet.

"Hello?" Amaris calls out, the sound hoarse as it echoes against the silence. She waits a moment, two or three even, before letting out a relieved sigh.

It is not much warmer than outside, but she won't complain. She is safe.

“Careful! It’s slippery.” 

At Cerulea Ingens, Kasia’s belated warning failed to stop Nayra from losing her footing on the thin layer of ice. She slipped and fell with a resounding oof, her bum aching and shoulders smarting to the seventh hell and back. Kasia rushed toward her, her snow boots finding purchase each step of the way.

She reached toward Nayra and helped her get back up. “You okay?”

“I didn’t hit my head this time, so that’s something.” 

Kasia snorted. “You’d think after all those treks through snowy Coerthas, you’d have a better grasp on where to place your foot on the ice.”

Day 27: Free Day (Sole, 2023 prompt)
Rral Soj and Papawni need help making sure the new restraints they are creating work properly and enlist the help of their bunboy friends.

T|1,148 words|DT NPCs/Spoilers. CW: Bondage and tickling. Rral Soj x Papawni + Shunye x Uvlo

Excerpt from the Final Fantasy XIV fanfiction "Product Testing" by EscaFox.

Text:
"I can see now why you wanted this 'product testing' to happen in private!"  the apothecary said with a knowing nudge of his bondmate, who blushed in response. Of all five stores in the Wachumeqimeqi Market, Xral Soj Metalwares and Shunye's Apothecary had grown the closest in friendship. Perhaps it was the fact both had evolved into more than simple business partners, each mercantile pair having found love in each other, but Uvlo in general enjoyed the Xbr'aal and Tonawawta's company and their cheerful dispositions…although he had to wonder how that was going to play out now.

Papawni smiled encouragingly at the Viera. "We really do appreciate this! The Landsguard are looking for ways to better detain those they arrest. Rope is often easily cut through and even cuffs can be maneuvered in if you're dexterous enough. So Rral and I came up with this design!"

"And who knows? If these work out well enough, perhaps we can find a secondary market for 'em!" the feline blacksmith winked

Day 26: Susurrus
The whisper of rumors cause Wuk Lamat and Sphene to finally have a heart-to-heart conversation about their relationship.

G|1,126 words|MAJOR Dawntrail spoilers 7.0-7.3. Wuk Lamat x Original Sphene

Excerpt from the Final Fantasy XIV fanfiction "You Are Your Own Person" by EscaFox.

Text:
Sphene shook her head in a effort to stop those ruminations. "More to the point, we have been seen together and, I'm not sure about Tuliyollal, but there have been whispers happening here." Sphene's face took on a more soured disposition. "And then there are the blatant NOT whispers," she muttered and held up a small electrope screen.

Wuk Lamat bent forward for a closer look. A lot of this technology stuff was more in Koana's wheelhouse, while she had grown up in more archaic surroundings, but her time with Sphene was helping her become more familiar. There was a paused image of a Tonawata dressed in bright yellow clothes which matched her blonde hair who immediately sprung to life as her friend hit the play icon.

"Heyyy my darling fans! Honey B. Lovely here talking about all the sweet gossip happening around Solution Nine!" the recording said cheerfully, although there was a level of saccharine grandstanding that sent an annoyed flick through one of the Xbr'aal's ears.

Day 25: Cynosure
A guiding star has dimmed and the Warrior of Light wonders if he has the strength to continue.

G|880 words|MAJOR Endwalker spoilers. CW: Character death. Grief/Mourning.

An excerpt from the Final Fantasy XIV fanfiction "Her Greatest Blessing" by EscaFox.

Text:
Do…do you hear anything more from her?” Alphinaud asked with timorous hope and the Warrior of Light strained his mind and soul as far out as he could. The will of the star’s voice had never been harsh nor brazen, but still carried immense power and weight to it. He had heard it more often in recent days as she guided him over land, sea, sky, even time itself. It had initially been met with distrust, his experiences on the First and the struggles and sacrifices of Minfillia and Ardbert still fresh on his mind. Had Emet Selch been right? Were they all just pieces on the cosmic chessboard of light and dark? Was Esca merely a weapon in Hydaelyn’s hands?

Shunye and Uvlo visit Worlar's Echo for some training.

G|756 words|Dawntrail NPCs/Spoilers. Shunye x Uvlo.

An excerpt from the Final Fantasy XIV fanfiction "A Duel Among the Drifts" by EscaFox.

Text:

“Seriously, Skybun, how are you not freezing right now?!” Shunye asked in exasperation as he clutched his woolen coat more tightly around him. The settlement of Worlar’s Echo was bustling with activity as the gargantuan Yok Huy worked and played alongside the spirits of the mountain.

His bondmate smiled, still in his leather armor which left large parts of his exposed. “It’s something that all Veena are taught. With the appropriate control of one’s breathing you can actually feel quite comfortable. Our armor is also quite padded around the chest. As long as you can keep the heart from getting too frigid the rest of the body benefits from the pumping of its blood.”

The Shetona grumbled and crossed his arms as he stared intently at the other man’s exposed midriff. “I still think they should make some sort of covering for you stomach,” he insisted, although the image of Uvlo having scarf wrapped around his belly made him snort with laughter.

fisher's intuition
RareBirdAlert

Summary:
    Starting bright and early, she had caught enough trout for her dinner, plus icepike to gift to the old fisher as thanks for his wisdom. But the pond was strange, with its orbs that sometimes seemed to pulse with pale light, the effect almost hypnotic. And so she found herself still fishing late into the day, and now it had started to snow.

Writing Excerpt:
The steppe's soundscape often seemed almost deliberately orchestrated, its denizens like isolated beacons scattered afield, sometimes too distant to glimpse but not so far as to not feel the vibrations in the air, in time. To each Byakaruso fluttered like a moth, drawn this way and that through one curiosity to the next distraction. Eventually they all felt too familiar, like he could hardly find anything left to interest him. Yet whenever he grew complacent, something would change.
