Zenos had made peace with his own demise after fighting alongside the Warrior of Light. Other plans have been laid out for him, however; when he reunites with the Warrior of Light once more, he recognizes this as his second chance. -aka the twisted redemption arc that no one (especially not me) asked for, starting nebulously around 6.2. Canon compliant before then. WoLxZenos.

The road walked by the warrior of light is one of sorrow and trials, of enduring pain and despair so that hope may one day prevail. But what if, in her attempts to find an answer to the question, Hydaelyn miscalculated and the hero fell in a battle against the Angel of Truth before he fulfilled his purpose? Can someone else follow in his footsteps, or is the world fated to burn?

MAJOR spoilers for the FFXIV level 83 Main Scenario Quest "In from the Cold" Zenos struggles to understand the only one he could ever consider a friend as well as his sworn enemy. He cannot fathom why his foe would take so long in coming to him when they are already practically at the door.

Warrior of Light. It was a title bestowed upon a hero of great courage, blessed by the light of the Mothercrystal. Behind every title though, there was a person. This is her story. (Cover Art by Hugo-the-starving-artist)

With the Endsinger vanquished, everyone has been saved from the crushing weight of despair. Or have they? The tale of a little blue bird and the journey she underwent, as well as the journey of her friend to save her from it.

While reflecting on what brought her to this point, Lyse receives a guest at her firelight. They have a few things to talk about before the battle on the morrow...

Some time after the defeat of Gaius van Baelsar during Operation Archon, the Warrior of Light has disappeared from the public's view. A sense of normalcy has returned to Eorzea, though the need for an adventurer's services are always required. Yet the Black Wolf's defeat has sent ripples throughout the world, and the consequences will be severe... An A Realm Re-Read Story

Hades had long given up Hope, given up on this broken world. The Sun had set, forever. Aeliana just wants to serve her country as a Reaper of the XIVth legion. If that means helping run interference for her Legate during a fancy ball hosted by the Emperor, well, needs must. What she never would have imagined for an instant was that the Emperor would take an interest in her.

The story of eight wandering adventurers with a gift. Achiyo struggles to find a home in Eorzea; Rinala is in love; Tam and Chuchupa are in it for the lulz. Scenes from throughout the MSQ and major sidequests. PLD/Aymeric, WHM/Thancred (one-sided). 3.0 complete, currently progressing through 3.x.

T'senri Tia, the Warrior of Light - who's used to hide his sensitive heart and vicious temper behind a goofy mask, burned by rejection by his best friend - joins the expedition into the Crystal Tower to avoid him, and meets a certain historian of red-cyan eyes, who quickly piques his interest.

A small little story between Aymeric and our Warrior of Light. OC Keshi, belongs to kellszack, she's just letting me use her! Small trigger for future violence and of course, smut.

Two best friends, Maisie Dawes and Elodie Mayne, are enjoying a normal summer day at the Dawes Granary when a handsome Au Ra stranger appears, volunteering to work at the granary. Little do they know it would be a summer full of wild emotions and complicated situations for both of them.

Eferhilde is no stranger to navigating from above water level, but she never had to go through mini-island platforms dozens of feet above shark-filled water like on the island of Vylbrand. (Or, a WOL used to land familiar to Gridania's struggles with the vast difference of Limsa Lominsa. For drabble zone's Challenge #308: Into the Unknown. Made back in August. Drabble in 2nd chap.)

Life passes on to the heavens or reincarnates into the next life. To die in one life and given a second chance is what one soul has experienced. Alas, his next life had brought him into a familiar world he knew by heart. Being in the new world, he shall set forth onto an adventure in the familiar world; his path shall be paved way with hope in this reincarnated journey.

A sun seeker trapped within the walls of ul'dah and a life of servitude dreams to one day put her talent for cartography to the test and see the world, little did she know the opportunity was just under her nose..

Two lost souls share a moment.

Time travel can lead to weird timeline shenanigans and different outcomes. Not that eighteen-year-old G'raha knows any of this, one day getting accosted by a strangely acting kit that asks him to be his friend.

There is something satisfying about watching from the outside. As an outsider, Bastille has seen many an event from a distinctly different point of view. Civilization need not mean castles and kings. But, if there were going to be castles and kings, objectivity would be needed. Non-WoL Protagonist. Unnamed WoL.

Senri and Raha celebrate All Saint's Wake in an exceptional way. [Past EW]

The Darkness has returned to the First, and there is one who welcomes the shadows it brings, for he has reason to hide.

We have a closer look at some loveable characters and how they will be taking the next step onto the rest of their lives!
