Title: that trembled and reel’d beneath me
Fandom: Final Fantasy XVI
Characters/pairing: Dion/Terence
Rating: explicit
Word Count: 11,780

Notes: This fic includes sex pollen, fuck or die, dubious consent, repression, and sexual dysfunction (blah blah blah). Set pre-game and a month pre-confession. Dion wants that which he should not have, but Terence doesn't make it easy to turn away. Title from a Walt Whitman poem. "...A thick gloom fell through the sunshine and darken'd me; Must I change my triumphant songs? said I to my- self; Must I indeed learn to chant the cold dirges of the baf- fled? And sullen hymns of defeat?"

The embankment is slick under Terence’s boots and he steps sideways through plaited fields to watch the sky lighten. )

Notes: For the 25daysofteredio on Bluesky, a little advent calendar prompt count down. Peace was inspired by this Walt Whitman poem, and Love pulls from a quote in Ursula K. Le Guin's The Lathe of Heaven. Title comes from Neko Case's Tightly.

Notes: Dion and Terence play strip chess, but only one player is following the rules. Some light-hearted fun.

'I believe you are up to foul play,' Dion says. )

Rating: gen, canon-typical violence
Word Count: 2423

Notes: During Belenus Tor and Bahamut's first clash with Odin, Terence keeps his priorities in line, even if he would like to do otherwise. Pining, mentions of death in wartime, and a brief foray into the Ultimania confession scene. A bit of a character study.

His enemies belong to spectacle, and Terence’s strength is elsewhere. He is human, and Dion is — magnificent. And he knows greater pain. But still: Terence aches. )

Notes: [personal profile] candyheartsex fic written for [personal profile] eggsbenedict. Dion tanks. Lots of poetic edda, oops. Also: desk sex.

Notes: Written for RustyCactuar on AO3 for the Teredio Brainrot Secret Santa Exchange on Discord. Dion celebrates his new position as commander of the Holy Knights Dragoon with those who matter most.

In the center of the congregation Dion is warm. )

Notes: Written for a prompt that I liked on the [community profile] ffxvi_kink_meme. It really played with what I like about their dynamic.
Edits: 5.11.24. Title change, a few typo fixes.

It hasn't been uncommon in Valisthean history for dominants to pursue each other. )

Notes: Bonus gift fic for [community profile] trickortreatex ! :3 I felt inclined to write something sweet after Nothing Owed, haha. Pure indulgence. Post-game reunion fic.

Dion has heard this voice across all the years and residences of his life and he lets it wrap around him, incredulous, and only stays standing with the hand he bunches in the back of his tunic to cling to as they stumble. )

Notes: For the prompt "expectations" on the Teredio Discord server. It's sappy pairing fic underneath it all. I guess Dion can have a break for once. A bit over-edited and not what I had in mind - it's been living on my hard drive for two weeks while I've side-eyed it - but w/e I'll share anyway. EDIT: posted this, then immediately and impulsively refined it further. I'm done poking at this now, scout's honor!

Dion wouldn't look at him, which while not unusual in moments of rest, usually preceded the calm before a storm. )

Characters/pairing: Kihel + Dion + Terence, Dion/Terence
Rating: T
Word Count: 7137

Notes: Written for angst week on the Teredio Discord server. A post-canon, fairy tale adjacent story, featuring Kihel as Leviathan, two wyrms and a man, and bittersweet partings. It was written fast and whimsically so it's imperfect. A more serious take would be much more solemn.

I... love this crew... @_@ More seriously, formatting might be a bit weird here. When I have patience I'll... do something about that...

Before Terence, Before Dion, before Twinside and Dhalmekia and before her grandmother’s departure, Kihel knew loss. )

Title: Evening of the Thorn
Fandom: FFXVI
Characters/pairing: Dion/Terence
Rating: gen
Word Count: 700

Notes: Some political b.s.-ing drabble/toe-dip with Terence doing his best to recognize Anabella's intents with the dragoons. There's no way this guy doesn't know all the same shit that Dion does lol. I would love to write 5-10k of Terence being a badass and doing subterfuge for Dion behind the scenes but that will involve so much worldbuilding and drafting (and I still haven't played this f-ing game. wehh). Someday.

The greaves of Terence’s armor had left indents on Dion’s skin where they gripped each other later to soothe. )

Rating: T
Word Count: 1066

Notes: 1. my god i can't believe Terence has his hands on the nuclear war codes!!!
2. i love that after Joshua and Dion finished their discussion in the audience chamber in-game, it's revealed that he and Terence have already discussed Dion's intentions, and all Dion needs is a simple confirmation of support to go berserker mode on the palace.
3. i spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to write this dynamic with what little is seen of Terence, and i think i conveyed what i wanted. Dion's priority is his nation, Terence's is Dion.

Dion's gauntleted hand went to the back of his head and slid through the fine, combed hairs. )
