Until the Snow Falls Again (Screen Reader Version) by konpeitocat

Summary
Aymeric has struggled to find his place in life. It certainly wasn't staying with his noble family and being married off for a political alliance. But the military wasn't quite right either, even when he thrived both in combat and strategy. He did, however, meet a dear friend in his time at the barracks.
A dear friend he had to leave behind when he decided to instead pursue a life of piety.
Now settled into his assignment with a nomadic caravan, Aymeric decides to write a letter to Estinien, hoping to reconnect with the one person that ever made him feel like an individual rather than a pawn in someone else's game.

Summary
Two years have passed since the events of Wheels of Thunder, and all Arashi and her lovers wish for is to enjoy a happy, peaceful life. But when an old friend arrives at their doorstep with a dreadful warning, it's clear that a new storm is on the horizon.
After his part in Garlemald's near-ruination, Zenos Galvus has avoided a homecoming for as long as he can. Now at last the time has come to face the sins of his past under Athena's control, but the wounds of his father have bled far deeper than he realised, and ghosts from long ago now rise to haunt his every step.
As dreadful foes and familiar faces new and old take to the stage, all signs point westward to the land of the golden dawn. Will the Turali Grand Prix bring glory or calamity? And what price will be paid by those bold enough to challenge it?

Broken Fantasy: Side Quest by Neon Pomegranate (Pilux), Pilux
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XIV
05 Dec 2025

Summary
How does the story of this sun go, as she travels through the stars? Like so many others, this is a story of meetings, of chance encounters. Endless possibilities of what could be and what never was. How does one change the path well walked to a road less traveled? When sentiment rises above all else, the heart's will can alter the tale once carved in stone. What familiar fragments shall remain when the cracked foundation is torn asunder and rebuilt anew? Hello, new old story! What laughter and tears shall ever be familiar, and what new joys and sorrow shall join the chorus?
Mistakes and choices were made in the past and future, and now there are Four Warriors of Light who could all easily take center stage and be the hero. However, one does appear to shine brighter than the others, perhaps that's whom the story is meant for?
Even then, having FOUR Warriors of Light can't be a bad thing, right? The established timeline won't change that much...
Can it?

Starting in A Realm Reborn and will go all the way up to the end of Endwalker. DT and beyond will probably be the start of a new long fic unless I get lazy and just keep this one going WHO KNOWS.Series

The Dragonblade Saga: Prelude in Ice and Silver by feliciasgalaxyofwords
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XIV

Summary
Book One: Prelude in Ice and Silver:
It didn't at all seem possible for her to have done so, nor for him to have made it back, but somehow, through what could only be likened to a miracle, Lila's love for Haurchefant was strong enough to conquer even death and rescue the man she loved from oblivion. But now, with her love locked in death-like slumber and herself faced with a war only she can end, Lila walks the dark path of vengeance, and Haurchefant undergoes some rather disturbing changes.
The WoL featured in this fic is my Hyur Midlander paladin, Lila Dawnefyre!

Help for Hydaelyn, or, A Final Fantasy 14 SI by WalkingTheRoad
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XIV

Summary
Past life memories can be inconvenient, especially when they’re awakened on accident by meddling gods. Past life memories that give you just enough information to be dangerous to the various bad guys, but not enough to act on that without risking a lot of lives with unknown gains? Inconvenient, stressful, and not great for sleep.
Once, I was Tanya of Earth, a relatively new fan of Final Fantasy 14 after I got introduced to the story by Shadowbringer. Now I’m Tomoyo the Raen, formally of Othard, now of the La Noscea archipelago. And now, I’m the Warrior of Light, best of a bunch of bad options according to the Mothercrystal.
My knowledge is spotty, my axe is sharp, and I’ve got a drive to learn and a new appreciation for all things magic and weird. If only I’d spoiled myself on Endwalker instead of holding off hoping to play it after release.
But hey, I’ve got my own chocobo. That’s got to count for something, right?
[A ‘live’ reaction to FF14’s A Realm Reborn, with spoilers from up to 5.4 due to metaknowledge, as written shortly before the release of Endwalker.]
(Next update on Saturday, February 1st!)

Nero is being helpful. It's highly suspicious, extremely annoying, and probably going to end in someone getting hurt.

Summary
How does the Warrior of Light live her life between saving the world from dangers of primals and Ascians, stopping wars and traveling the known multiverse?
A collection of small fics, canon-adjacent but maybe with some minor tweaks, centered around silly ideas of my WoL Vidri and her life outside of saving the world.
Updates will be random, and I'll post patch numbers at the top notes to avoid any major spoilers.

Summary
Alexandria once upon a time told tale of a ship that long ago braved the seas and sky called Alexander. It fought Alexandria's enemies and bringing peace to the lands far and wide. But that just a fairy tale to tell the kids ... right?
Special thanks to to an anonymous guest for sharing their ideas, which helped inspire this story!

Summary
5.5-6.0 MSQ rewrite, focused on Gaia, a freed but depowered Elidibus, and remaining Sundered Ascians. I intend to follow the great strokes of Endwalker and rip it apart in order to give the Unsundered and the Ancient people as a whole the justice and catharsis I found to be… very sorely lacking in 6.0.
[Ch.18 – Scions and Ascians meet with the council of Ala Mhigo, to speak of Ascian motivations, how to proceed, what is likely to happen with Zodiark and the Final Days]
Note: this is a post-SoS angry Elidibus who is a 12k year old, broken Themis. There is no “Zodiark made him a different person” vibe. If you favour a fluffy Themis who most definitely would never become Elidibus the Ascian bitterly calling you malformed creatures unworthy of true mankind's legacy
(he is correct, and in this 30-part essay I will–, you might not care for this portrayal.Currently on-going, and I hope to finish this one day. Anything that happens in MSQ after 6.0 is completely irrelevant to this.

Verses of Vengeance // Hymns of Heaven’s Ruin by Pammu (Kaesteranya)
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XIV
04 Nov 2025

Summary
The Scions of the Seventh Dawn are broken. With Minfilia Warde and Symkar Tsukasa lost, Joshua Ward finds himself in Coerthas, the city of Hikaru Shinta, his former lover. Their names now cursed in the eyes of the Ul'dah, a place that had once been home to him, Joshua struggles to find a way forward in Ishgard with Alphinaud Leveilleur and Tataru Taru, the only survivors of the Light's fall. Their personal tale is set against the Dragonsong War, whose flames climb ever higher around Halone's children.
Part III of "Armistice Elegies", a full retelling of FF14 from the POV of a polycule of Warriors of Light and Darkness. Ysayle and Haurchefant do not die our version of the story.
Spoilers apply for the entirety of FF14 with liberal references to SHB and EW. Our WoL!ycule is the result of there being three Azems after Venat: one murdered before the End of Days, another dead in defense of Amaurot, and another near corrupted by a Blasphemy before the Sundering. Their fourth was a familiar who loved them all. This retelling is canon-divergent; there will be major characters who live rather than die, and it features a number of OCs. It also integrates content from the optional raids and story arcs.

Summary
Moireigh only asked one thing after Garlemald: that if anyone ever took control of her, those she trusted would stop her.
Years later, the Simulant gave her an ultimatum: choose between surrender and mass slaughter. She went quietly to save countless lives. What followed was her worst fear made real — a body not her own, a mind buried under undeniable commands, and the Scions at the edge of her blade. When her mind was hers again, she spent the last of Hydaelyn’s blessing to bring them back and it cost her everything.
Now drained of aether, poisoned, and betrayed, she knows the truth: they weren’t ready to stop her. Not even to save themselves. There is no going back. Only forward, into the dark she was once meant to hold back.

Summary
Yet another Archival Piece making its way from the Swilly Vault! My inspiration for this work was the canon "Black Rose/Bad End AU" side story "A World Forsaken". There, we learn that Cid, Nero, and other Ironworks employees survived the Black Rose catastrophe because at the time, they were in The Burn, doing maintenance on the magitek field generators at Seiryu's Wall.
This story relates a little incident that happened during that maintenance expedition—specifically one that involves an aetherosolar-powered Magitek pylon and a magpie. However, it doesn't necessarily have to happen in the Bad Ending AU (and it contains no spoilers about "A World Forsaken"). It's just a funny, cute story and nothing horrible happens, pinky swear! 😇

Summary
"Look to the heavens and see it shine!" - The Hooters
Behold! Another tidbit from the Swilly Vault that I'm posting here for archival purposes! Like so many other works I've posted here, I'm reasonably sure this was supposed to be a part of a larger story, but things simply didn't turn out that way. Similar to Lies the Seed, this is another story in the "Cid visits Nero in the hospital and they ramble on like middle-aged men" genre that would've taken place during the 4.2-4.5 era. Yes, good old Omega! (Try not to think too hard about how long ago that was...)
It's in first person and the incomparable Nero Scaeva is our narrator; I think this is actually another 80's AU as well. I'm sorry that I don't have any more information on what this scene was supposed to become! I hope you enjoy reading it anyway. 🐊
