You know the trophe of someone calling you by your full and complete name to underscore the Seriousness of a situation? (“FIRSTNAME MIDDLENAME LASTNAME!”)

I have the sudden mental image of Nyx drawing himself up to his full height, glaring at his spouse, and going “Ace Aether Ardyn Apollonian!”

Ace: “…”

Nyx, as he realizes just what he called Ace: “…”

(Somewhere, Uncle Ardyn is laughing.)

Belladonna Took has had quite the satisfactory adventure. She has at last seen the sea, just as she wished to, and so perhaps tomorrow she should return home.

Just at the moment, however, she has nothing better to do than lie in the sand and look up at the stars. Her favorite is the Evening Star; she has always loved the stories attached to it.

For a moment, it almost looks as if it is getting larger, but she shakes off this fancy with a laugh.

Except it quickly becomes increasingly obvious that this is not just an illusion. The star is getting larger - and, presumably, closer.

Belladonna pushes herself up onto her elbows and her eyes grow wide. It’s quite close now, so close that she rolls to one side and puts her arms up over her face, as if that will do anything in the face of whatever is happening.

Sand sprays up into her face. Belladonna tentatively cracks her eyes open.

There’s a pretty little piece of jewelry in the sand beside her. A white gem blazes in the center of it.

Keep reading

This is perfect! What happened to Earendil, though? *bites nails*

The way I see it, one of three things had to have happened: Earendil threw it down deliberately, he let it fall accidentally, or one of the two happened while he was battling something.

I can’t think of any reason why the first would happen. He might forgive Maglor someday, but that’s a far cry from throwing the gem down to help him fulfill his Oath. Which of the second two it is really depends on whether this is a hobbit story that happens to have elves in it, or an Elf story that happens to have a hobbit in it. 

So here’s my take on both, and you can pick your poison. Before writing these, I was rather inclined to the first, being rather hobbitish myself; now I’m rather fond of the second.

Keep reading

OMG the SECOND ONE.   

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXTTTTT!!!!! 

The second one is great - I would love to know what happens! :)

The elvish story it is! Although this bit honestly works with either.

There’s a brief bit of elvish in here that I used an online translator for. If it’s done improperly, feel free to correct me.

…

Elrond is used to odd travelers turning up on his doorstep. After having a reborn Glorfindel show up, he doubts any group can surprise him again. So while he has not been expecting Belladonna Took to show up with someone who walks with the grace of an elf but keeps themselves hidden in a ragged cloak, he is not at all startled by it.

Keep reading

Meanwhile, in Mandos:

Earendil didn’t consider himself to be a particularly rebellious person, current plot to defy the Valar notwithstanding. But as rebellious as he was sure tracking down Feanor and his sons in order to engineer a breakout would look if he were caught, it wasn’t defiance fueling him.

It was the far more familiar emotion of desperation.

Royal Bastard: Employment Thoughts

via https://ift.tt/2IxSRBY

@sparklecryptid @theotherguysride @lectorel

So, you had an idea a while ago where Noctis and Prompto ended up working at Ace’s bar pre-Reveal?

I just. Can you just imagine how that job application/interview would have gone?

Ace wonders How Is This His Life. I think his original decision to hire on more help was based on the fact that his bar/restaurant is getting pretty popular - at least with the Glaives/the Galahdian immigrant community, and he could genuinely use help that consists of more then Selena, Nyx, Libertus, and maybe Crowe helping out occasionally when they’re not on duty. And thus the ‘help wanted’ sign goes up.

He was not expecting Prompto to wander in through the door.

It’s actually a pretty good thing for Prompto that Ace had ‘no previous experience necessary’ as part of his employment offers. And that he’s sunshine on two feet. And also that he’s - pretty much the only applicant? Not many people want to work for a Galahdian. (Prompto, meanwhile, is over the moon that he got the job!).

Prompto proves to be popular with the customers, most of whom have to keep themselves from ruffling his hair and cooing over him. Ace might end up teaching him how to braid his hair so that it’s easier to manage. Maybe.

And later on down the line, Ace puts out the ‘Help Wanted’ sign again, not really expecting much, except Prince Noctis shows up because Prompto has been gushing about his part-time job and his ‘super-cool boss!’ to his friend, and, well, yeah?

(Ace wonders How Is This His Life. And how the hell is the Prince of Insomnia literally the only person who responded to the job opening?!)

Noctis, meanwhile, might be - pleasantly surprised that his new boss just blinked at him for a moment before conducting the interview in a matter-of-fact, practical manner. The only time Ace alludes to his status as a prince is to let Noctis know that if he takes the job, he’s going be ‘Noctis.’ Just Noctis. Not ‘Prince’ Noctis, that okay, kid? Otherwise, he treats Noctis pretty much the same as Prompto - no special treatment, no deference for royalty - and Noctis - really, really appreciates that. He also finds himself smiling helplessly when the bar/restaurant customers unanimously follow Ace’s lead - oh, the Glaives will be stone-faced and rigid and the epitome of professionalism when he runs into them in the Citadel, but in the bar? In the bar, they’re loud and noisy and exuberant, and don’t care that he’s a Prince, he’s the guy who’s bringing them their orders and a sort-of little brother figure. Noctis - really likes that. Likes being just another one of the crowd.

Noctis’s admiration for his boss is sealed when Ace literally throws a paparazzi out the window. (Ace: have you seen the sign? The sign that says ‘We Reserve The Right to Refuse Service to Anyone? Get out.) Ace makes a point of tossing out any ‘customers’ who come to his shop simply to have a Prince of Lucis take their order, and Noctis loves him for it.

Ace: “…”

Nyx, as he realizes just what he called Ace: “…”

(Somewhere, Uncle Ardyn is laughing.)

Libertus promptly makes it into a running gag.

He’s particularly proud of ‘Ace Antropodian Archrival Architecture Anagram Apollonian’.

Ace tried to tackle him half-way through ‘archrival’ and Libertus had to warp atop a nearby statue to dodge.

Now anytime Lib says anything starting with ‘A’, Ace gets his knives out.

@hamelin-born

Ace is aghast that his husband and treasured friend would do something like that. Nyx pretends not to find Libertus’ trolling funny but it doesn’t work.

One time, hile Ardyn was around, Selena slipped up and called Ace ‘Ace Izunia’. Ardyn grinned and casually suggested a name change.

“If I change my name it will be to Ulric,” Ace deadpans, “Screw you Uncle.”

@sparklecryptid @lectorel @theotherguysride

royal bastard au    nyx pretends to be unaffected by ace saying that he would take nyx’s last name as his own    he fails  

This is actually hilarious because, when you think about it, Uncle Ardyn has been trying to get Ace to change his name for years. Just - not to Izunia.

Lucis Caelum is the name that floats between them, always unsaid, ever present.

…also. I think I might have expressed this headcanon before, but I have the crackish mental image of Ace essentially - throwing his hands up when he has to change his name upon being inducted as a Prince of Insomnia, and decides that if he has to change his name, he’s going to go all-out. Royalty have ridiculously long names and titles anyway, right? And that’s how Ace’s legal name post-Princedom is actually Ace Aether Ardyn Apollonian Ulric Lucis Caelum.

Theory about Ardyn

via https://ift.tt/2LgZlaf

akirakurokiart:

So the joke about the many layer of clothing Ardyn wears has been around for some time now.

The other day I was thinking about it and it came to my mind that maybe all those layers are some sort of protection.

I’ll explain myself. So Ardyn is cursed and is almost, if not completely, a deamon. And apparently deamons are weak in the sun light. So maybe his body, after all those years, have become something similar to deamon!ravus one.

What would make him incredibly sensitive to light.

But because he is really powerful he manages to deal with it in some areas of his body such as his face and hands, but prefers to leave covered any other parts that are not necesary to not waste energy.

So in conclusion Ardyn wears all those clothes to protect his cursed body from the sun light.

Honestly…

I enjoyed the fight against Somnus the most.

It was kinda a revenge for Ardyn for me. Sure he said this “save my brother” kind of things in the end but I still blame him and Bahamut for everything that happend to Ardyn (sure the sickness too) haha 😂 and so I was kind of in flames as I kicked his stupid ghost ass down the hill.

Please don’t tell me I’m the only one 🙈

I like this! And Ardyn, Ardyn looks at the man he would call son if he could, Ardyn looks at Ace and doesn’t see judgement just a desire to understand and Ardyn-

Ardyn tells him. Tells Ace about his death and betrayal and how the brother he had cherished turned on him. He tells Ace how his Shield left him for his brother and he tells Ace how he was killed and watches anger slide onto Ace’s face as easily as water slides off a stone.

“It was wrong,” Ace says, his voice low and dangerous, “For them to do that to you.”

Ardyn says nothing. He doesn’t need to.

via https://ift.tt/2LgbrQP

Jean grins when he hears the hunters speak of the dancer. When he hears rumors that spread of what the dancer is. Some say he’s a ghost, others claim he’s a new type of daemon, still some say that it’s the Scourge made manifest that walks among the daemons at night and laughs with them.

Either way, the rumors spread and Jean does nothing to dispel them.
