Summary
Imagine an AU in which Ardyn goes "Screw the prophecy!" and then tries to manipulate the Chosen King into fighting Bahamut. The twist? It takes very little manipulation. Mostly just the truth laid bare for him to see.
Deceitful, scheming Ardyn joins the Chocobros, first on their way to Altissia, then guides them through the rest of their journey, but with a very different outcome in mind. They bicker, they tease, they annoy each other to no end, and yet, at some point, understanding grows.
Meanwhile, Bahamut is onto "those who defy fate", blessing Ravus with the Ring and the Oracle with a frightful new (or, rather, ancient) power to step in as the original key figures of the prophecy fall out of their place.
Latest Chapter: Another Dawn - It's complete!
Now with cover art and sketches scattered throughout.

Summary
Ardyn was going to destroy the world. Not the world, per se, just enough to bring it to its knees. Erase the line of Lucis from the pages of the history books like how they did to him. Commit genocide. Drink wine. That was the plan, at least, until a blue-haired boy fell from the sky.
Yuki had already saved the world. Being the Great Seal for eternity can be a bit lonely, but he was content. That is, until he was quite rudely brought back into the world of living. Now he has to deal with all these emotions, unfamiliar territories, a quest to save another world and....an uncle?

Summary
The statues have watched over this world for as long as anyone on Eos could remember. Eyes closed in blissful sleep, the crystalline monuments are a mystery to all who see them, wondered about the world over. The Oracles of Tenebrae, the Kings of Lucis know nothing. The Six are silent on the matter, refusing to talk about the strange figures. They become more mysterious once they begin to disappear, leaving no trace.
It's as if they never existed in the first place.
a ff15/ff13 lore blend, based around the question of "what if the disc of cauthess was the fallen cocoon?"

Summary
“Belief does not change the truth, dear king,” She countered. “And if you would not believe me, then believe your crystal. Do you think it would have brought me if I did not have the power to answer your prayers? To save your son from his fate?”
“Noctis’s destiny is preordained by the gods.” He said, though it was unclear if the words were for her benefit or his. “No mere mortal can defy their will.”
Something flashed in her eyes, something equally fascinating and terrifying that made lightning strike down his spine. This time when she smiled, Regis knew it was genuine. “Then it is a good thing I am no mere mortal.”
Regis unknowingly asked the Crystal for a way to prevent the Prophecy. In response, it sent the Warrior of Light from Eorzea.

Summary
Transmigrating had been a thing. Aulea thought as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Oh well, none can do~
Sighing, all she could do is to wait.
*
When Regis first saw her, she was in an empty dark alley surrounded by her kidnappers, all unconscious beside one which she had been crushing his balls with her heels.
…. It was … love at first sight.
The next time he saw her, she disposed an assassin sent to kill him using only her hairpin. Clarus and Weskham were impressed.
Third time… in his Matchmaker Banquet and all but proposed to her when she offered him some cake.
Or aka, modern world genius Aulea transmigrated to FFXV world as the short lived Queen Aulea Lucis Caelum. Does she have to follow a certain lizard’s prophecy?
Of course not! As the second coming Tony Stark, she won’t follow something asinine like a prophecy especially if it’s HER baby’s life on line. No siree!
Fuck canon!

“You can’t just grab a random, feral child from the woods and bring her into our house, Ardyn.” Cor folds his arms over his chest, staring intensely at Aranea. Ardyn sighs.
“Let us give her something to eat and I’ll explain, yes?”
Cor pinches the bridge of his nose, clearly exasperated.
“Fine. You better have a good explanation for this.”

Summary
Ardyn was a hundred percent Not Okay. He knew that. He accepted it. The daemons bayed at the bit of his mind and egged him on to even worse heights, and the sun burned, and he hissed in a thousand voices of people he'd long devoured in fits of death. Ardyn was Not Okay, and that was perfectly normal. He was a daemon now, after all, so it had to be normal.
At least that remained the case until Regis Lucis Caelum and the Lucis Caelum bullshit reared its ugly head. Regis decided that having daemons chatter in your head and being Not Okay was not Perfectly Normal and instead he would fix it; because Adagium was not something to be forgotten in the annals of history and his ancestry was a dickbag of epic proportions and fuck, Regis wasn't pitting a baby against a man who probably needed some deep therapy. Bahamut could suck it; Ardyn made Regis care about him now which mean the Prophecy was officially On Hold. Forever.
