Niche request, sorry, but: Aymeric gets raped/assaulted while a friend/lover/ally is stuck watching somehow.

Post Endwalker, Jullus is dealing with a lot of things. He’s wound tight and more than a little lost without Quintus’ guidance. Maxima and Lucia can see this, and find his distress familiar, both former Garlean citizens with… complicated relationships to the Empire themselves. Maxima and Lucia decide (together, or independently) to take him under their wing, and mentor him for a while as he settles into a leadership role.

Craving virtually about these two as platonic partners who can bond over both being gay. Bonus for complicated Ishgardian social dynamics and expectations. No depictions of violent homophobia please (though mild discussion is okay) but otherwise go nuts. If you wanna include shipping I’m partial to Estimeric but it’s not necessary!

Zero gets dangerously low on aether. Jullus has no way to offer up his own, other than fucking. She doesn’t know what sex is but once they get going she is Into It.

Right after I hit send I realized this would also work with Lucia and I’d be into that too, so take your pick!

We know Lucia and Livia are sisters. We know that Lucia was a Garlean spy when she first came to Ishgard. We know Gaius took them in (or at least, Livia in) when their parents were killed. Livia takes to their new foster father rather too quickly. Lucia has her doubts, and her relationship with her sister is becoming increasingly strained as a result.

Gaius wants to bring Lucia into the fold.

Livia has her own ideas about what that means.

Lucia wants her family back, but this isn’t her family.
