FFXV Small Secret Santa for @domesticfluffsimulator​

@yuneyn did this meme for the fic she’s writing for our fic exchange, so i think it’s only fair that i post a sentence from the one i’m writing for her as well...

Rules: post the last sentence you wrote, and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

And then there was Prompto in the bedroom, soft, surprisingly melodious voice audible through the half-open door as he hung photos on strings he had hung across the wall.

This isn’t precisely the last sentence I wrote, but it’s a nice one, which is why I shared it o3o

@domesticfluffsimulator also tagged me for this same meme, so here’s a sentence from the beginning of the next chapter of my other FFXV writing project, Perchance to Dream:

Slowest escape ever, Prompto thought to himself, as an irritated groan left his lips.

Where’s my fic about Ignis dragging Nyx back from the dead with the power of the ring tbh

#nyx ulric#ignis scientia#fanart#episode ignis spoilers#kingsglaive

... huh. that’s a fun idea

“There we go,” Noct said as he slowly released Prompto’s hands and backed away. Normally Prompto would resent how Noctis sounded like he was talking to a small, scared dog; but normally, despite popular belief, Prompto was not wobbling around like a newborn catoblepas and two seconds from a full blown panic attack.

“Wow,” he said, breathing way too heavily for the actual amount of effort he was exerting. He took a single step towards Noctis, who urged him forward like a proud dad watching his kid’s first steps. “Wow, I’m high up.”

“You’re an extra five inches off the ground, kid. Nothing to get vertigo over.” Gladio was leaning against the wall of Noct’s apartment, one eye on his book and the other watching the proceedings with barely concealed laughter.

“That’s a lot of inches! I’m taller than Iggy right now!” Prompto blurted out, squeezing his eyes shut as they swam at the mere mention of vertigo.

“I really can’t believe you’ve never worn heels before,” Ignis said from the couch. He was still wearing his own tall, strappy shoes, although he was careful to keep his feet on the large mat he had set out for heel practice. “What did you wear to your senior prom?”

“He wore sneakers,” Noct said, his gaze fixed on Prompto as the blond took another step, shaky step.

Ignis pressed his mouth into a thin, hard line, and Prompto tried hard not to melt under his disapproval. From the wall Gladio snickered, his full attention now on Prompto.

“Nice going, Sunshine. Did you wear your sweatbands too?”

Prompto shot him as venomous a glare as he was capable of when desperately trying not to topple over. It wasn’t much. “Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t. Why do I have to wear heels this tall anyways? Can’t I start with something a bit lower to the ground?” “Absolutely not,” Ignis said. “Like it or not, you’re not only Crownsguard, you’re one of the personal retainers of Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum. That affords a great amount of prestige. The only people there with taller heels will be high ranking officials, such as Captain Drautos and the Marshal, and of course Noctis and His Majesty.”

“We’ll be in eight inch heels,” Noctis supplied casually, as if that wasn’t absolutely insane.

“That can’t be possible! It would bend your foot in half!” Prompto nearly waved his hands around, before remembering the precarious situation he was in. Instead he took a deep breath and another step forward, this one just a bit faster and steadier than the last. Progress.

“You’re lucky you got the abridged version of Crownsguard training,” Gladio said. “The three of us had to learn how to fight in heels.”

Prompto’s eyes widened, his mind suddenly full of images of the three of them, their legs tense but steady in their formal heels as they stood down attackers. Gladio, towering over everyone even more than he usually did; Ignis, flipping and jumping with pinpoint precision; Noctis, warping into an attack and landing perfectly on impossibly tall heels, eyes dark and steely, thighs toned and-

Something short circuited in Prompto’s brain- unfortunately, it was the part of his brain that was responsible for the small amount of balance he had achieved. His legs gave out under him and he collapsed backwards, just barely catching himself so he landed on his butt and not his skull. Distantly he heard the other three- Noct concerned, Ignis chuckling, and Gladio full on guffawing. He considered getting up, but instead decided to just fall back the rest of the way, squeezing his eyes shut.

“Greeaaaaat job, Prompto,” he muttered to himself. With a thud Noctis sat down on the floor next to him, handing him a can of soda.

“Come on, you’ll get the hang of it, Prom.”

Prompto opened one eye to look up at his best friend. Noctis had a small smile, but he didn’t seem condescending or mocking or anything except sympathetic.

“Look, we both know I’m a clumsy asshole. Even if I manage it in your apartment, there’s no way I won’t fuck up with all those eyes on me.”

“Well if it makes you feel better, nobody’s gonna be looking at you. This is Noctis’s show,” Gladio cut in. Prompto wasn’t sure if that helped or not.

“Look, Prom,” Noct said, holding a hand out to him, “You’re the guy who outdid Cor’s shooting record within a week, and you had the best time on the obstacle course within two. You can do just about anything, once you stop whining about how you can’t do anything and put your mind to it.”

Prompto winced at the slight barb, but he couldn’t really argue it. Groaning, he sat up and took Noctis’s hand, accepting his help to stand back up.

“Well, if you say I can do it,” he said, finally returning Noct’s smile. In a week they were going to be on their way to Altissa- he could deal with fancy shoes.

The prince’s smile grew wider as he stepped away, leaving Prompto to stand- only trembling a little- on his own two feet.

1. LUNA BEING A TOTAL BADASS AND DEFEATING LEVIATHAN IN BATTLE (side bonus of saving noctis’s ass)

2. f/f pairing of your choice on a date at the citadel skywalk (i think this would be good for crowna but idk, please feel free to pick whoever you want :D)

3. gladnis soulmate au where what you write appears on your soulmate’s skin. ignis secretly has gladio’s tattoos (this was consensual)

4. au where prompto burned or cut off the barcode in high school and noctis is finding out about it now some months later (promptis)

5. au where prompto dies in zegnautus keep. but first, he programmes one of his clones with his memories and feelings, in the hopes that it will replace him so that noct never has to mourn for him.

6. au where prompto meets one of his clones during episode prompto. this clone is remarkably similar to versus xiii prompto, ohoho. he helps out ffxv prompto somehow

7. ignis is caught crossdressing by his bros, and is really embarrassed about it, so gladio, prompto, and noctis go out and buy kilts so four of them can wear skirts together and look cool :D

8. dfab transgender cor on roadtrip with regis, clarus, and cid

9. something inspired by this photoset - aliens? demons? angels? curses? magic? robots? dreams? you decide!

10. ravus with hanahaki - flower disease - where when you’re pining for someone you start coughing up blue flowers (sylleblossoms?) until they eventually kill you, unless you confess to your crush. i think ravus/noctis for this one, but any ravus pairing is good, just not ravus/ardyn or anything like that

11. during the dark world, noctis appears to the bros in the form of (an) animal(s) - cat, chocobo, dog, maybe even stuff like voretooth or anak - and they always know it’s him cuz his fur/feathers/whatever are always black. he does this to protect them, and also just because he misses them, sometimes

12. ignis and coctura having a cook-off. bonus points if they are flirting, dating, or married

13. gladio x aranea - one of them asking the other out, or their cute first date

14. noctis, prompto, or ignis meeting their younger self (30 > 20, or 20 > 8-10)

15. this is a long shot, but since you are the queen of rarepairs, could you please write ravus x noctis’s noncanonical older brother mors (who was named after his grandpa)? (mors is better at being a king than our dearly depressed noctis, and a little more outgoing < i recognise this is practically ravus x oc though so if you don’t want to take this one it’s fine!) pov of an outsider is fine, like maybe noctis sees them kissing and is like ‘oh no, now both princess of lucis are gay’ lol idk

16. fic set in the au where lucis will win the war as per your meta (maybe nyx perspective???? idk)

17. Okay, I originally was going to ask you to do something inspired by 2 of my meta posts, the colour symbolism one and the one with my headcanons for the chocobros in skirts. Well, my blog got deleted, so i can’t link you to those posts. but i can copy/paste both metas in their entirety into this post. so here they are (to be clear, this is TWO prompts):

Colour symbolism

black is the royal colour. this one detail could really have a big effect on the worldbuilding, but we don’t really see any evidence of said worldbuilding in game. so… here are my thoughts on it. I headcanon that commoners do not wear black at all. or rather, that there is a specific shade of True Black that they can’t wear. the school uniforms we see Prompto and Noctis in in brotherhood are an approved shade of off-black. a lot of times, a rich, dark navy blue (”formal blue”) is substituted for occasions where people of other nations would wear black. the closer one is to royalty, the more black one is allowed to wear on one’s person. In the past, there was a strict colour hierarchy, but that has relaxed over time. Now it’s just True Black vs. off-black, which is ranked in the same category as formal blue, dark green, and dark purple. Dark brown is not particularly popular in the modern day, but in some parts of Lucis it is the traditional formal colour of choice. a Lucian tourist may still be shocked to see people in Altissia or Tenebrae wearing shades that look suspiciously close to True Black. also, it would be a huge diplomatic faux pas for a diplomat, noble, or politician from a foreign country to wear black in the presence of Lucian royalty. Noctis only ever wears black, as does Regis, of course. Noctis would have a terrible time dressing himself if he were told to wear something that isn’t black - he has no idea how to match colours in an outfit. Gladio generally wears black on the job but enjoys wearing other colours for more casual activities (as we’ve seen by his green-jacket outfit). in contrast, Ignis’s suit, unlike many Lucian commoners’ suits, is True Black, which anyone who sees him on the street would be amazed and a little intimidated by. Prompto doesn’t wear much black, of course, but I like to headcanon that Noctis gave him his True Black wristband. Anyone who sees Prompto wearing that would instantly know that Prompto has won the favour of someone in a noble house. and anyone who sees the Regalia in street would immediately know that a member of the court must be inside, at least until Noctis gets around to customising it. in the distant past, white was the colour of mourning and only worn at funerals, as in many real world Asian cultures. it would be super cool if Luna’s white dresses were not intended to symbolise religious purity, but actually represent the link between the Oracle and the Astral Realm, or death; a reminder that the Oracle is the last thing between a Starscourge victim and a funeral. btw, this makes Ravus essentially a goth. though whether he wears white out of love for his sister or because he just likes the colour is unknown. of course, we’ve also seen that Luna’s wedding dress is white, but that can be attributed to newer cultural interactions between Lucis, Tenebrae, and whatever countries existed before Niflheim became an empire. Thus, her wedding dress and Oracle garb contain symbols coming from two different cultural traditions. the fact that the wedding dress is white is actually a symbol of Niflheim’s control over the wedding, since the Oracle is traditionally allowed to wear another colour on the day of their marriage. The traditional colour of marriage garments is yellow, to symbolise that the person you are marrying is the light of your life. The traditional colour of healing and purity is royal blue, like Luna’s sylleblossoms. lastly i would like to remind everyone that if my headcanons are in any way accurate, then wearing black underwear would probably be as gauche as printing the american flag on your butt. and if commoners aren’t allowed to wear True Black, then all black lingerie that exists must be the regulation approved shade of off-black anyway. noctis has to get his boxers hand-sewed

clothing-has-no-gender skirt post

skirts are for everyone. boys in skirts need more love, so here they are, feat. iris. pls love them

disclaimer: all the skirts depicted in this post are good skirts and HAVE POCKETS

noct and prompto’s school has both skirt and pants options for their uniforms. prompto switches between skirts and pants depending on the season and how he feels that day. noct doesn’t like the uniform skirt because it matches the ties so it’s not black

noctis prefers dresses to skirts because he’s lazy and dresses mean no need to pick a whole outfit; and prompto prefers skirts because that boy loves layers just look at his crownsguard outfit; but both of them will wear either skirts or dresses as the mood strikes them.

gladio hates wearing dresses because he finds them impractical. he only owns like, two, and one of them has a hole in it. ignis prefers dresses to skirts because he likes the way they look. he regards both dresses and skirts fashion items more than anything

ignis is the chocobro most likely to wear a skirt or dress as formal wear, including as part of a suit. he attends court in skirts a lot

gladio is the kind of practical guy who wears short skirts with spandex underneath them (like female athletes irl)

neither ignis or noctis will wear miniskirts. i’m torn as to whether prompto would wear them, since he’s known to have body image issues, but since he is a runner he may feel that his legs are nice enough to pull off the miniskirt look, with or without spandex. headcanon this one at your own discretion

the only other skirt gladio really wears is essentially a utilikilt (the cargo-shorts equivalent of a skirt, basically). these things are really practical and fashionable, so after seeing gladio in his utilikilt, all the other chocobros want one too. no word on who actually gets one

prompto has at least one regular kilt, if that distinction even matters in a world where any man can wear a skirt. what i mean is he likes pleats and plaid

noctis has been known to wear leather skirts. he pulls them off surprisingly well, as well as a mean combat-boots-and-skirt combo

noctis prefers to warp in pants because he’s afraid of flashing the MTs, but warping in skirts feels really cool so sometimes he does it when no one is around. also, skirts that are too long will mess up the landing, so he refuses to own any that go past the knee, just in case

noctis loves handkerchief skirts. ignis thinks they are awful

this makes ignis the most likely to wear floor-length skirts. prompto will wear them, but it’s not a style he prefers except maybe in formal wear

yes, iris does get gladio’s skirts (and shirts, she likes sleeping in them) as hand-me-downs. she has to take in the waists to be able to wear them. one time she prematurely took one of gladio’s skirts that they both liked and altered it in before he was done with it. they still argue about it to this day

ignis wears the fewest skirts on the roadtrip because all of his are fancy. he has a couple of nice ones for the wedding (T.T) and for galdin quay. noctis wears the second fewest because he is the most comfortable warping in pants, so his are also primarily reserved for rest stops. then there’s gladio in his spandex-and-skirts combo and prompto in a kilt, kicking ass and taking names. fuck yeah.

!!! this is so cute!!!everyone read this <3
