Fic - "Combustion, Ignition" (FFIV, Dr Lugae/Rubicante)

Title: Combustion, Ignition
Fandom: Final Fantasy IV
Characters: Dr. Lugae/Rubicante, appearance by Golbez
Rating: Mature
Length: ~3.5k
Summary: Science abhors a mystery, and there was nothing more mysterious than the Archfiend of Fire.
Notes: I really wish I could take credit for this idea but I think it was written off someone else's prompt. It's just such a good thought, though, and I'm glad I got to run with it. Features some mad science flavored torture/violence, oblique sexual references, and a lot of worldbuilding.

( Of all things Lugae hated -- a long and storied list of things that encompassed, at times, all of heaven and earth and the nations of man in between... )

Fic - "Wing and a Prayer" (FFXIV, Ardbert/Seto)

Title: Wing and a Prayer
Fandom: Final Fantasy XIV
Characters: Ardbert/Seto
Rating: Explicit
Length: ~1.9k
Summary: Ardbert and Seto spend a night under the stars (kind of).
Notes: Written for Yesfest 2020, so this is pretty fluffy and sweet. I honestly thought this pairing would be more popular -- it's basically dragonfucking, right? People love that! -- but at the time of writing this story is the only one for the pairing on AO3. Alas. Seto in this story is sentient obviously but isn't capable of talking yet. Also, this was written before there was any info on Seto's backstory with Ardbert so some of the details might not match current canon.

( Of course, if he slipped and fell, he could count on Seto to catch him. )
