The end of the Starscourge was only the beginning. After someone shifts the timeline, Noctis and the others face a new adversary as well as a new friend with a shard. While the group tries to solve the mysteries surrounding them, they must overcome their differences before darkness covers Eos again. Noctis X OC / Gladio X OC

This is a multi-chapter story exploring Ignis' struggle to recover from his injury sustained during the Leviathan battle. It takes place before the party leaves Altissia. Prompto wants to stay and help Ignis, but Gladio believes they don't have enough time to wait for him to heal. Emphasis on inner strength, friendship, and fate. Lots of angst, but ultimately there is catharsis.
