NICE. Very nice - Ace offering, and Ardyn accepting - and claiming him. And the land, through Ardyn, claiming Ace - Ace, who has fought against the Empire all his life, who has struggled so *hard* to deny his father and Lucis, to deny his *blood*
Ace just.
Not quite surrendering.
But accepting - Ardyn. And Ardyn’s Claim, and the Land’s Claim through him.
(And I wonder if, faint and far off, Regis and Noctis *still* as they feel - something.)
Oh, I was totally thinking about Regis and Noctis freezing as the land sings a chorus of ‘Ours’ for a brief moment before settling down, content that it has all of their crystal chosen. Content that it has claimed what is theirs.
And now I’m just- thinking of Ace winding up in Insomnia to visit his people and Noctis bolting up and out of his apartment because there is another in his city and he’s curious.
(Noctis doesn’t try to deny the possessiveness that runs through him as he follows the trail to the other. Doesn’t try to deny the beast in his chest that lurches when he sees the other and thinks ‘mine’. Noctis knows his eyes are bright and wide as he gazes at his brother and for a moment his brothers’ eyes twinkle bright and silver before settling down to something more human.
And Noctis can’t help but wonder why.)

Ace feels. Almost sorry for his brother, who does not know, who has never known what it means to be human. Not like him, not like Ardyn - they at least remember what it meant to be nothing more or less then themselves - without the Land, without Power singing along every muscle and nerve and sinew.
Almost sorry for his brother, who has moved through a world of humans with an aura of ever-so-faint bewilderment as he doesn’t. Quite. Get it.
Almost sorry, and almost jealous - Noctis, after all, has never hid what he is. Has never had to lock part of himself down and repress repress repress -
