"You must stop taking it easy on me, Raha.” Lei Lei teases from somewhere close by, as the words issue forth as something of an invitation, but one that only serves to make his blood run heated in response. “I’m certainly not.”
Oh, gods.
in which G'raha has to remind himself—he had outright asked for this.
he had better damn make sure he can survive it.

Summary
“‘Tis remarkably embarrassing to be rendered unable to control my… urges simply by being in your presence,” he confesses, face warm. No, he is the matter—he and how much he wants, how little he can control it. “To burden you with such jovial matters is—“
“Burden.” Lei Lei frowns. “Your desires are no burden, Raha.”
G'raha finds certain aspects of his new old body more burden than boon. Lei Lei disagrees.

Summary
And so she would reek havoc on him, in her very own particular way. but starting it would seem - with those heels.
“I have...” he begins, already feeling the depths of himself begin to shrivel in shame, “my love, my dearest heart, my inspiration - somehow acquired an unhealthy fascination of sorts... for your tribal shoes. Particularly -" he hesitates, even as he feels her start to stiffen in question, as he finishes in a rush before he can stand to consider otherwise - "with the thought of you wearing them during sex.”

Summary
This doesn’t make any sense. Why would male Miqo’te go into heat? That’s for female cats. This is ridiculous! Who let this become a trope? What kind of degenerate would envision such a scenario? And write about it? And post it on AO3?
...
First chapter features female WoL. Second will feature male WoL. Gods have mercy on my soul.

Summary
This time when he looks at you, all you find is searing adoration. The scorching weight of what that means blisters through you, melting the sand beneath your back until the solid, earthen certainty of your life has morphed into nothing more than cracking glass. G'raha brings his hand to your chest, fingers spread, his palm coming to rest above your pounding heart. He is trembling, just as you are. You place your hand over his and let your pulse convey what you cannot. Fortune finds you wanting for words, but not for meaning.
Red eyes soften to the shine of hearthfire, the light of a home you never realized just how much you needed.
"Raha," you call him for the first time.
The weight of one word can be enough to shatter glass.

(Can be read as a one-shot, but is technically a full version of the sort-of flashback from Chapter 1 of Adagio)

Summary
The Warrior of Light answers the call to the First and among the light-ravaged land of Norvrandt finds something wholly unexpected: the time and the peace to remember what it is to be merely human rather than the Weapon of Light. The allies he kept at arm's length so long become family, and finally, here in this most doomed of lands, is some comfort from war and all it has taken from him.
Or
The Exarch will stop at nothing to save his inspiration, even from the darkness inside the Warrior of Light's own heart and mind.

Summary
A series of One Shots that will revolve around the story of FFXIV Shadowbringers and the relationship between the Crystal Exarch and the Warrior of Light and Darkness. Other than being female, the WoLD is being left free to interpretation. Some One Shots will be connected to each other, others will be stand alone. Some will contain sexual content, while others will not. Chapters with explicit content will be marked as such if that is not your cup of tea.
Chapter 10 Summary: Not just a missing scene from Patch 5.3, but THE missing scene. Before beginning to merge souls, the Crystal Exarch and G'raha Tia take a moment to have a little chat. Contains non-explicit sexual content. I'm not even sure if it warrants being marked as an explicit chapter.

Summary
Love between felines is a fine and precious thing: a series of vignettes, set in a world where the Warrior of Darkness is a miqo'te.
[Tonight is the first winter solstice since you stood at the edge of Dawn itself; the longest new moon, the night where only the empty heavens remain to guide the people of the star.
You are deeply, terribly grateful for G’raha’s presence by your side.]

Summary
For a fleeting moment you see the age in his eyes, tender and nostalgic as though he were the old man he once claimed to be, looking back upon misplaced yet beloved photographs of times long past.
G'raha turns his arm to regard the arcane eye painted there. The deep hue is stark against the azure of his body. "I shall wash them off in the morning, but for now I enjoy being able to see my old markings again."
"You seem more upset than anything," you counter cautiously, the unspoken question evident in your voice.
"’Tis difficult to put into words. Memory is not always without mourning, and mourning is not always an act of grief." G'raha looks down into his tea, tracing a crystal finger along the curve of the ceramic mug. The faint scratching sound it makes is nearly deafening. "Tis good to remember how it felt to fly before I clipped my wings."
