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

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.]

Summary
"The storm clouds in the rear view mirror gave the family hope that they were leaving the ghosts of the past behind, they had convinced themselves that if they moved to a whole new country on the other side of the continent that the secrets they tried to keep buried six-feet under couldn’t follow them"
After a great tragedy that looms over their heads, one that they can't speak of, Ellie Moreno and her dysfunctional family pack their bags and move to the quiet city of Forks-in hopes for a clean slate. Unfortunately, old habits die hard for the Moreno family as they slip into the same routines. Overworked and tired, Ellie struggles to keep her head above water as she cleans up after her family's messy trail, all while battling with her own internal conflict.
When she crosses paths with the city's infamously perfect Cullen family, she can't decide whether or not she is comforted or unsettled by the strange family. Especially, the compassionate Dr. Cullen.

Summary
"A great Hero will rise in these lands; it is told. You will guide the Once and Forever King to his glory and bring everlasting peace to the realm," said the dragon. Said Kudo.
Izuku was perplexed. "You must be talking about someone else. And the Once and Forever King?" who...?
It could only be...
Izuku said, "Yagi."
Kudo, at the same time—"Katsuki."
Izuku felt his eyes bulge. Suspended in disbelief, all he could do was laugh.
In fact, Izuku couldn't help but think that this prophecy sounded like complete and utter bullshit.
Or, when Izuku finds himself in the capital, his world is upended. His mission? Protect the brash, foul-mouthed prince from the shadows, for he is the Hero who will wake the realm from her slumber… eventually.
But to succeed Izuku must hide that he has magic, unless he wants to end up on the pyre by morn.
An adaptation of Arthurian myths and legends.

Summary
This collection is a map of wounds—honest, unfiltered, and deliberately raw.
It explores the quiet violence of love, the ache of unspoken truths, and the blurred line between devotion and destruction.Each piece is a moment of emotional aftermath, a reflection of what we endure, inflict, and survive in the name of connection.
These are not poems of healing.
They are confessions.
They are the truth beneath the calm.
They are the parts we rarely say out loud.If you’ve ever loved too deeply, lost too quietly, or broken something beautiful with your own hands—
this is for you. -

Summary
They didn’t mean to kill him.
Not really. Not the way it happened. Not with blood on the roof and Izuku shaking and Katsuki screaming and the world tilting sideways like it was finally done pretending to be fair.But one body is all it takes.
One body, and suddenly they’re villains.Now they’re running from everything they used to believe in—heroes, teachers, parents. The League of Villains offers them food, shelter, safety. A family full of misfits and monsters who look at Katsuki’s scars and Izuku’s silence and say, you can stay.
There’s still blood. There’s still guilt. There’s still a war coming.
But maybe, if they fight for each other, they can build something better.Or burn everything down trying.
And hidden beneath it all: a truth Izuku was never meant to find.
All For One—monster, myth, and mastermind—is his father.
He thought his son died years ago. He never looked.
Now he’s found him.And he’s never letting go again.

Summary
Didi Carter wasn’t supposed to exist.
But history’s full of ghosts that weren’t supposed to be real—and she’s just loud enough to make them all listen.•
After a dream drops her into the closet of the White House during JFK’s presidency, Didi finds herself navigating the mythos of Camelot from the inside out: the glamour, the rot, the way the walls whisper like they remember her. Accompanied only by her strawberry-scented Build-A-Bear, Teddy Fitzbearald (a witness, a prophet, a plush relic of 2022), Didi steps into a timeline that was never meant to include her—and starts rewriting it anyway.
She’s not the first to fall for JFK. But she might be the last one who knows exactly what he is: a glitch. A god. A man made entirely of mirrors and war crimes.
And this time, he dreams of her too.History collapses. Time bends. Fanfiction becomes gospel.
Didi Carter is done being written about.
Now she’s the one holding the pen. -

Summary
Luz has been through too much to still see herself as a kid, and Eda is the only person who sees her as an adult.
She knows it's bad, but when she knows it's bad, doesn't that make her more aware? She's "mature for her age", after all. Life isn't black and white.NOTES:
This is a genuine representation of grooming and how it affects the minds of victims. This is NOT smut, and rape scenes will be non-pornographic. Eda/Luz is not something I ship, this is meant to be unhealthy and not something I endorse. Write and read what you want, I don't care, but be aware that if you're looking for genuine, hot or romantic Eda/Luz, you won't find it here.

They call me many names.
All of them fit. None of them know me.
Somewhere between the taking and the training, I misplaced my soul. Or perhaps they carved it out, one command at a time.
Now I am the pause before the scream.
The shadow before the end.
The silence that follows.
But silence remembers. And so do I.

Summary
It's confusing to have these feelings.
Whenever Lucas crosses paths with Lorenzo, all he perceives is anger at his detached face, the way he saunters down the hallway like he owns the place, the way girls cling to him at parties. Lucas hates him more than anyone.
But Lorenzo’s done avoiding him. He skipped football tryouts for years just to dodge their rivalry, but he had enough. If Lucas wants a war, Lorenzo’s ready to fight—or maybe, just maybe, figure out why they’re both so obsessed with each other.
