There is very little sense of urgency when there isn't an Ishgard for the two to return to.

#ObscuritasAU
ObscuritasAU. Xaela Fray sits with Sid's shadow, looking off into the distance near Mamook. Their swords are near the tree at their feet and Sid's tail wraps around Fray while Fray tangles his with Sid's.

LIGHT PARTY

#shitebirding with @elanortrevelyan.bsky.social and @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social
A light party compromised of 'two' very haunted individuals. Obscuritas!Fray shares his soul and body with Sid whilst Elanor and her Fray share a body (again, but worse). #obscuritasAU for filing

Heartstone.

#ObscuritasAU
#ObscuritasAU Fray stands in the water with various heartstones from the deceased. The meteor shower turns the sky orange-y. He seems to be expecting a fight, half turned and reaching for his sword. A closer crop of the first. The eye that he keeps covered is more visible here, very similar to the glowing heartstones scattered in the water.

Spare Ishgard the bloodshed. Just give him back Sidurgu's body.

#obscuritasAU
Fray stands in the front, sword to the side and left hand raised to cradle an ominous looking orb. A shadow of Sidurgu is behind him, reaching for his greatsword.

I have so many AUs that I love to play with, but knowing that they all came back to what Obscuritas started as...

It should be illegal, Fray, for the two of you to look that handsome sharing a body.
ObscuritasAU!Fray. Physical changes to a hyur from sharing his body and soul with a deceased Sidurgu.

Realising I have at least four iterations of this shitebird outside of AUs with other friends and I can somehow keep them straight (ha) and love them all.

NSFW ahead!

Despite his grief, even Fray can admit that the 'abyss' has some fun tricks.

(cw: tentacles)

#DRKafterdark #obscuritasAU
Fray is on his knees in front of the fireplace with a shadowy Sidurgu behind him. There are tentacles. Everywhere. How do I explain all of that without combusting? Fray is overstimulated.

with him for his stubborn refusal to use a functional regulator.

The shadow is Sidurgu is from the #ObscuritasAU in which they both returned to Ishgard to burn it to the ground and Sidurgu was lost in the fight. His soul resides entwined with Fray's and *is* Sidurgu living off Fray's aether.

The dawn was not a new start, but a reminder that life went on, whether he screamed, begged, and pleaded or not, a gentle illumination on the shadow wending its way around him.

One step. Then two. Then Three.

The slow numbing creep had taken all feeling from below his waist now.

Four. Then five. Then six.

His lips twitched up into the smallest of smiles as if he found something funny.

Seven. Then eight. Then nine and-- nothing.

#ObscuritasAU
Fray is mortally wounded, snarling at his opponent while holding a wound and attempting to continue the fight. Three Temple Knight bodies can be seen as well as Sidurgu's. A shadowy silhouette of Sidurgu helps cover Fray's wounds and holds his head. His tail curls around Fray protectively.

I mean, on the bright side, this means that ObscuritasAU is no longer the worst ends AU. On the other hand, ObscuritasAU is no longer the worst ends AU.

I was trying the ponytail from the AscianAU on #ObscuritasAU and while I don't think I'll use it, I'm pretty fascinated by the optical illusion of Sid's eye being slightly larger than Fray's.
A mix of Fray and Sidurgu's physical characteristics resulting in a gender ambiguous xaela with odd eyes. One eye appears to be alike to Sidurgu's with the bright limbal while the other seems to be Fray's.

NSFW brain worms re: ObscuritasAU. I don't know if I have it in me to pose tentacles though, even though shifting them to pitch black does make it a lot 'easier' to pose when you can't see that they're as messed up...

The OCs are crossed out and some like Joseph and Captain Highwind are OTHER canons.

... Yea, Fray's listed thrice. There's three. One for 'normal', one for #ObscuritasAU, and one for #Sol9DRK AU.
A list of NPC alts.

... Honestly 'normal' Fray is so hard to write with. Have a much better chance with #ObscuritasAU Fray or like... #Sol9DRK Fray than anything.

This post has me considering 'consequences' for #ObscuritasAU. What all might/could change re: Fray's appearance co-inhabiting in the one body.

Something as subtle as eye color change? Something as drastic as #FrAUra ?

Somewhere between?

I gotta harass @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social later.

Blue-eyed Fray isn't real. Blue-eyed Fray can't hurt me.

His eyes being gold/yellow is pretty iconic to me, but these other colors *are* interesting in their own ways.

#shitebirding I guess?

Realising that my go-to stress relief is playing in the Fray-and-Sid-razed-Ishgard AU.

If I'm not using those tags, then it's likely main universe. Or if others are showing up, it's none of these tags.

Supposed to be #AurApril or something and #ObscuritasAU is heartache on any day so it'll just combine days 26/27.

#DRKafterdark
Obscuritas stands in thigh deep water in the nude, seemingly in thought and not paying attention to the viewer. He's lit in the blues of Mamook. Same shot from behind because I am hopeless and like his tail/looking at the shine on his backscales and well, his butt's nice. Sue me.

Well, #ObscuritasAU is getting a bit of a change.

Best keep that eye covered, you two.
tl;dr in their first iteration, Fray and Sid went to burn down Ishgard. Sid was lost, but irrevocably intertwined his aether and soul with Fray's and he inhabits Fray's body. Two souls and two very different aethers mashed into one has... an effect. Fray is somewhere between his original height and Sid's and retains much of his previous appearance, but with auri characteristics, including male patterned scales, horns, tail, and one of Sid's limbals/eyes. Anyone hunting Fray down for what he did to Ishgard is not as like to find him as he is clearly not hyur.

Oh. I almost forgot but Mousey fixed the weird white border around his scales. So he will look a little different in #FrAUra and #ObscuritasAU from here on out.

I-- Perhaps?
Fray seems to be shrugging at the viewer as if he's unsure. He then looks to the left at Ysayle who has her hands up in the air like she can't believe him, Haurchefant smiling at him mid-/haurchefant, and Ephilionne (childhood friend) laughing at him. And then to the right at his #sol9DRK variant with his ex-girlfriend Ephie using the consider emote and Sidurgu looking annoyed, hands up in the air. His S9 counterpart is not holding back laughing at him. Fray looks a little bit nervous/frightened now and it's revealed that Abyss!Sid from #ObscuritasAU and 'his' Sidurgu are behind him. Sidurgu has his arms crossed and looks annoyed at Fray.
