Summary
[Noctis had told his friends he remembered very little of his decade in the crystal.]
[Noctis had lied.]
Trapped in Reflection, Noct discovers Bahamut isn’t quite the benevolent deity he’s made himself out to be. Feeding on death, the Draconian waits in anticipation for Noct’s final sacrifice. And as the sun rises at last, Umbra offers Ignis, Gladio, and Prompto an alternative—but with a catch.
Now, back in a world of light, the four of them discover that behind every happily ever after is a big flaming mess of new problems—from angry gods, to relentless Niffs, to the fallout of a decade spent in darkness, to trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with Noct.
And, as each man battles his daemons, Noct himself finally learns—once and for all—that no one is an island.

Summary
He imagines it sometimes: the queen flipping through a portfolio, looking at the headshots of children from across Lucis; reading the carefully compiled family histories and political ties; picking out her own favorites from the candidate pool, lifting their names to the top. He imagines that she smiled when she saw his dossier, when she saw that they’d been born in the same region. He imagines that, if she’d lived, the queen would have taken an interest in him; she might have written letters to him, might have given him an allowance; she might have said, This one. I want this one for my son.
The queen died, though, so Ignis will never know what she thought of him—or if she thought of him at all.

An Ignis-centric pre-game fic, in which Ignis is one of several children who are candidates for the position of advisor to the prince; it's basically Ignis and Noctis's childhood, and how Ignis was raised to be a tool for Noctis.
As always, there's a lot of hurt and not much comfort. Also politics, class and power issues, child neglect and codependence, etc. And ghosts! And dead parents! And abandoned children! And more Ignis Whump than you can shake a stick at!
