Summary
A collection of short fics done for the #ffxivwrite2021 writing challenge. As someone who never finishes/posts anything due to overlarge project ideas, perfectionism, and over-editing forever, this challenge was perfect for me!
This is mostly about my WoL and other FFXIV OCs that I have. Limited NPCs, oops. Many different POVs.
These were all written in gdocs. I wanted to edit them after the event and make them all pretty before posting here, but I figured that might be against the spirit of the event. So here they are, in unedited glory! If I ever choose to edit/extend any of these, I will post as a separate fic.
Chapters denoted with an asterisk are my personal faves or ones I had most fun writing.

Summary
“Good good, now use welding tool to join.” He moves Grace’s wrist to position the rod so it turns farther outward.
“Slow slow gentle,” he repeats. Grace is actually going to die.
He stretches his finger, tugging the wires connecting the mechanisms, and clicks the fingertips together to create a spark. Rocky chitters cheerfully behind him.
“Good good, Grace doing good.”
Grace’s face is burning. Rocky’s body heat seeps into him; he’s running hot all over, but especially in his face. Rocky doesn’t comment on it yet, hopefully ascribing Grace’s fever-like state to his own body being a smelting furnace.
He wets his dry lips again. “Thanks, bud, I think I’m getting the hang of it.”
Grace sucks at flirting. But when he comes across Ghost (1990) while looking for something to watch for their movie night, he has a brilliant idea: to recreate the pottery wheel scene with Rocky. He asks Rocky to teach him to make xenonite sculptures using Eridian welding tools. Naturally, things escalate from there.

"We match," he says stupidly, for want of having anything to say at all. Then, clarifying quickly, "The hum. You guys probably have perfect pitch or something."
They say that honest love is a cage that makes you feel free.

Summary
Never trust how you feel about life after nine pm, and absolutely positively do not get self-reflective after two and a half years of touch starvation. That's a little truism for the day right there.
