#FFxivWrite2026 participation prize winners have been randomly selected ✨ and my no-ai audit is in progress!!

In the meantime, I’m wondering: how long have y’all been doing FFxivWrite?

Is this your 1st year? 3rd? 10th??

pt1 of "alamir's pre-evercold crashout is mostly because neither of these two can communicate"
#ffxivwrite #ffxivwrite2026

Something blanks out in Alamir’s expression, when Erenville mentions it being time for him to move on. If Alamir didn’t draw his attention so consistently, he doesn’t think he would even have noticed, as quick as it’s gone again. But he does notice, and it lingers with him. Perhaps that’s why, when they get a moment to speak alone, Erenville bites his tongue on the offer he’d intended to make. 'I’ll let you know before I leave on my journey,' he says instead, and tries not to be bothered by the way Alamir seems to look through him rather than at him. It’s easier, admittedly, to shrug that off than the way Alamir smiles at him a moment later, because Erenville knows that smile; has seen him leverage it at perfect strangers when they start to show discomfort around him. It’s the Warrior of Light smiling at him there, not Alamir. It stings more than he would have expected. Well. They’ll have the length of Etheirys between them for Erenville to nurse those feelings soon enough, he supposes. (He won’t be another chain around Alamir’s throat. If that means he doesn’t get to be anything at all to him, then so be it.)

Okay here's the proper link for the whole work! This is my effort for #FFXIVWrite2026 even though I did not attempt the raffle and whatnot. All of these are short, very silly, and very chaotic!

#FFxivWrite2026 Prompt 18: Reason

a letter penned but never delivered, hidden in a cottage in Silver Bazaar; a farewell to someone who's already gone.

[ #ffxivfic | HW spoilers | past wolgraha ]
18 reason on ellipsus

fanfic snippet: G'raha, We've made it to the Dravanian Hinterlands. We crested a hill and met a lonely vista: the ruins of New Sharlayan, scattered across fields of rolling green. Long-abandoned buildings crumble like sandcastles in the tide. It's beautiful. It's heartbreaking. I can't stop thinking about you.

#FFxivWrite2026 Prompt 17: Fret

a direct sequel to 10 upbraiding: Khovu and M'naago are up to no good.

[ #ffxivfic | StB spoilers | budding WoL/M'naago ]
17 fret on ellipsus

fanfic snippet: G'raha, We tried to sneak away from our beds. It didn't go well. M'naago and I are in so much trouble.

#FFxivWrite2026 Prompt 14: Against the Grain

a love letter from Kozama'uka.

[ #ffxivfic | early and mild DT spoilers | wolgraha ]
14 against the grain on ellipsus

fanfic snippet: My beloved Raha, Ok'hanu is a beautiful village in an even more beautiful jungle. You would hate the weather — it's hot and humid, and the pages on your tomes would wither and curl from all the rain — but I can't wait to show it to you.
@meowdy.etheirys.socialOct 4, 2026, 5:46 PM

#FFxivWrite2026 Prompt 12: Fusion

Khovu reflects on the Final Steps of Faith.

[ #ffxivfic | HW spoilers | past wolgraha ]
12 fusion on ellipsus

What do you know of the battle on the Steps of Faith? In your time, how is it remembered? Do they remember that Nidhogg possessed Ishgard's Azure Dragoon? Do they remember that Hraesvelgr and his kin flew to Ishgard's aid? Do they believe that Hraesvelgr killed his brother? Or do they remember that it was me?

#FFxivWrite2026 Prompt 10: Upbraiding

recovering in Rhalgr's Reach, Khovu receives an unexpected visitor.

10 upbraiding on ellipsus

I haven't seen him in nine years. Nine years. I hadn't been counting. Nine years since Estmar died, and he left, and — I don't know what he's doing here.

The people have asked, and you shall have your answer.

The #FFXIVWrite2026 recap thread is nigh!

@inmyleylines.bsky.social this one's for you.

@ashes8012.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 4:34 PM

I compiled a list of my best/personal faves from ffxiv write! If you only have the chance to read a few, or don't want to trudge through the entire list, I'd ask you to check these out!

(Links in thread)

#ffxivwrite #ffxivwrite2026

Kiah'a, a Keeper mooncat, stands on the left while Fafnir, a Raen Au Ra, sits on the right. The text "Xiao's FFXIV Write" is in white text in a mostly transparent purple box in the center with "HIGHLIGHTS" stamped over the bottom of the box in bright yellow.2 — Register. Pre-ARR, ~1,000 words. Coeurlclaw angst abounds in this one as we learn what happens when someone gives birth to a boy. Featuring an entire cast of Keeper OCs. There will be a quiz. CW: Implied infanticide, implied abuse (physical and emotional), discussion of a dead infant, brief suicidal ideation. 5 — Preservation. Post-game, ~1,300 words. Written in the style of a report detailing artifacts found in the Swallow's Compass long after Fafnir has passed. One of my favorite styles for a piece of fiction, and where I at one point had five different tabs up researching for this. Mentions of Hien/Fafnir and Haurchefant/Fafnir. 8 — Strain. Pre-ARR, ~1,700 words. Have you ever wanted an insight into Fafnir's life back in Doma? Now you can read at least 1.7k about it! But really, getting to write a some small fishing village dynamics and innocent toddler Fafnir was great. CW: Brief description of a child almost drowning (the child is completely fine). 18 — Reason. 7.0, ~950 words. Consider this a 'missing scene' for Kiah'a's MSQ. I just think we should have been allowed to talk to Koana after his father died and had an actual conversation about it. Koana/Kiah'a.21 — Better Late Than Never. 7.0+, ~2,800 words. My longest entry, but by god did I pop off on this one. Sometime after the Coeurlclaw aunties move to Gridania, Kiah'a comes to visit his mother and little sister. Sunny is less than impressed with him. CW: God's most uncomfortable family interactions. 22 — Train. 1870s AU, ~1,700 words. Funny how both my Koana fics made it onto this list, but I had a ton of fun with this one and have to blab about it. The 'Wild West' period is one of my favorites in US history and it fits Koana so well. He gets to be stationmaster while Kiah'a (and the Scions) are bounty hunters. Just read it for me. Koana/Kiah'a. 23 — Egress. 4.0+, ~1,800 words. I've wanted to write more Haurchefant lives AU and I finally was struck with inspiration here. Haurchefant muses on Camp Dragonhead as he prepares to join Fafnir on his adventures. Haurchefant/Fafnir. 24 — Drift. Pacific Rim AU, ~1,600 words. NSFW. It's a Pacific Rim AU, what else do you need? (Fafnir and Haurchefant fight a kaiju and have a good time afterwards). Haurchefant/Fafnir.

#ffxivwrite2026 Day 15: Prodigy
In which Kasia begins to question who she is after her encounter with Gaius.

#ffxivwrite #ffxiv #myfic

Kasia’s hands stuttered amid fixing a stolen magitek armor under the shadows of Revenant’s Toll. Despite the shades shielding them from most of the sun’s glare, today felt especially hot, and Kasia’s undershirt was already sticking to her back with sweat. Yet a chill was creeping up the edges of her skin as she recalled her encounter with the Legatus of the XIVth Imperial Legion. A few days had passed since the Howling Eye, and Gaius’s words refused to leave her mind. There had been no doubt the Legatus had been talking to her. She’d noted the slight shift of his attention, a turning of his black, horned helmet as his impassive eyes bored into her. “And what, pray tell, is the Emperor’s prodigy doing with Eorzean rabble?” he’d said, his deep, baritone voice masked through his skull-like helmet.
