At last, the final chapter for the first meeting between Bera, Raubahn and Nanamo, Cooking with Flames Chapter 3!

Happy to have this one officially done.

Nanamo, a short pink haired princess, smiles at the camera with a cup of tea in hand. Behind her are four people, Merlwyb and Eynzahr to the sides, but more centered are a roe in a Maelstrom uniform and the Flame General Raubahn, in the middle of an argument of sorts. The roe has a slight blush. An exerpt of the fic is on the screenshot: Eyes darting, a flush. Drawn to the muscles the General possessed and the stern look in his face. Not intimidated but… something else. Anger at the interrogation, perhaps. Certainly some truth to that, but mostly… A crush, she thought to herself. Perhaps she would have the chance to tease her new friend about it later.

A little snippet for yesterday's Roevember prompt for Starting Out! This is Bera in his midteens, freshly arrived in Limsa, ruminating and adjusting before his first job as an adventurer.

write.ellipsus.com/edit/86795cf...
Limsa was an adjustment. Getting used to a new place was certainly going to be a change, yes. Gridania was different. Less water, more trees. Somewhere he spent most of his life, but also Gridania was… Gridania wasn't… … Well. He needs to make Limsa work. And it was an adjustment.

You could say I have.... some fics I'm working on. 1 or 2... or 10. Or more. 😅

The two folders here are for Bera's main MSQfic which should follow the Raubahn Nanano first meeting, and the secind a collection of my way too long quick summary of Bera from ARR to ShB for his carrd
Image of the Ellipsus UI, "My Work (99)" at the top of the screen and two folders called "Out of the Frying Pan" and "Carrd Writing" He remembered. Remembered a feeling of fear and loneliness. Like nothing he could do would matter as lightning struck and the sparks erupted and burned on the trees. Protecting the sylph around him, or holding them for comfort. Like the world was ending, the sky was falling, cinders and ashes like meteors dotting the night sky. Afraid and alone, praying for a miracle. For someone to help him. He's moving before he realizes. And one day exploring Tailfeather. He meets a travelling mercenary who triggers a powerful echo vision. It's a world of plants and animals he's never seen, a feeling of trust to a creature the mercenary sees as family. They sleep together that night. He fights Arbert the next day. Life goes on with the Warriors of Darkness at the back of his mind, the Grand Melee and the threat of Nidhogg more immediate concerns. In the wake of the Grand Melee, he finds himself closer to Raubahn then before. A love they can't quite put words on, but something open as they go about their lives as adventurer and leader.

For something dreamlike, the dream weavers try to give Bera some peace the night before the end of ShB 5.0.

I always feel like I have at least one strange run-on sentence in these 😅

#berafic #sixsentencesaturday
It's almost too perfect, which is what tips Bera off. His home in Idyllshire, fireplace burning, filling the room with a comforting warmth that lulls you in wanting to stay and rest. He spies the twins at a distance, leaning into each other asleep on the couch, tucked in with one of Bera's old blankets on top. And at his own side he has Meteor leaning in, quiet breaths tickling his side as he lets out quiet snores, peaceful and relaxed as if the pressures on the world no longer weigh heavy on his shoulders. Beyond the veil of dreams he knows are being weaved for him, beyond the fae who are trying to give him his peace the only way they can, he knows the nightmare that is tomorrow and what awaits them all at the depths of the Tempest and losing his best friend, his love. It's almost too perfect… but for tonight, he immerses himself in the dream, in the lie, and believes that however slim the chance, it could one day be his reality.

Finally posted a fic after so long! Chapter 1 of the first part of Bera's story, dealing with his first meeting with Nanamo and Raubahn before ARR starts!

archiveofourown.org/works/553266...

[berashots, beralore, ffxiv fic]
A roegadyn and a lalafell sit at the edge of a dock in Limsa. Text on screen reads: Nanamo Ul Namo : "I am not completely blind to the issues facing the people of Limsa, with what you showed me. Yet I find I am blind to those that face the Ul'dahn people. My people." Narration: He doesn't know what to say, not really. He can't know the pressures she faces, nor would he ever know. Bera's a chef, and adventurer, occasionally Maelstrom healer, botanist, once a retainer. Many hats, but nothing as heavy as a crown.

Cooking with Flames: Chapter 2 is posted! Raubahn is very worried when it comes to the roegadyn who helped Nanamo travel around Limsa on their own.

It's literally been a year to the date since I've updated it. I'd like to say it's intentional but😅

archiveofourown.org/works/553266...
Close up of Bera and Raubahn, standing back to back, focused on their weapons - a pair of chakrams and Raubahn's sword. Text on screen reads: He needed to know she was safe, or what he would do if she wasn't. Test this roegadyn who seemed to gain her trust within the day. Punish or arrest if necessary. Find out who he was. A man who thought he knew better then him when it came to Nanamo's safety.

There was that post about people not talking about their art and it just made me think I should share more of my writing so...

Snippet from Chapter 2 of the Bera Raubahn first meeting fic! Just doing edits and making progress on the ch.3/epilogue before I post it.
“Your name is…” familiar, Raubahn wanted to say. But he spent days looking over all the information on Lolorito's planned excursion so the name immediately stood out. “The chef?” “I, uh, yes?” “You expect me to believe that she was adequately protected by a chef?” “Just because I am a chef doesn't mean I can't fight.” “A single chef. And you weren't even guarding her just now, you were dancing without a care in the world!” “I… understand you were worried, but even if I wear many hats, I would never shirk my duty. She was perfectly safe at every point today.” “And what would you have done if something happened while you were prancing-” The roe interrupted again, raising a chakram in his hand. “This isn't a simple toy for dances. It's a weapon. I took precautions. She is not undefended, even now. They may be blunted for the performance, but I would be able to take down an opponent. I understand you are worried but I-” “Prove it.”

Finally chose one - "Cooking with Flames" the currently incomplete three part story of Bera's first meeting with Nanamo and Raubahn, before ARR begins. A look into a younger Bera's mind.

Some other options in replies!

Some hypothetical point in the future, Raubahn realizing he absolutely has thoughts about marking Bera up. Some quick solo NSFW.

Not sure if I'll actually post this on Ao3 but... hey.
He imagines it. He said he doesn't really want one, and Raubahn absolutely agrees that a tattoo is something no one should decide on a whim. But he still imagines it, lying down in his bed before sleep. Bera walking in, sitting in his chair and table, perfectly good and still for him. A design for his arm perhaps. A flower. Or maybe on his back, Bera stripping off his shirt - strong, chubby, dusted in hair like he remembers from the day of the wet shirt incident. Lying down on his table in front of him, half naked as he begins to mark him up. He seems tough despite his gentle soul, but he wonders how he would handle the needle. Tough and silent, or would he let out quiet sounds and moans as he gets used to it, gets covered in Raubahn's own marks. Raubahn's work. "Fuck." He mumbles to himself and decides to take himself in hand, pulling down the covers and finding himself half hard. His mind wanders to other places, Bera in more states of undress, stripping down more after he leaves marks on his lower back, somewhere on his thighs. Signing isn't really something he normally does, but he thinks about it. Putting his names or initials right on his skin, or prahps just the logo of his shop. His mark. His. Raubahn doesn't realize quite when he got so possessive, but his hand moves faster as he grabs himself. At some point it isn't even his needle anymore, or a tattoo. Wonders whether he's look better as a blank canvas, and leaves markes a different way. Scratches and bites, listening to each sound Bera makes. Wonders if he carries any scars he could trace. Where would draw out the best sounds, the best cries. What would make him cry out for more, and Raubahn eager to give exactly what he wants. What he would look like, fully stripped down, turned around to see his face, blushing and begging and saying his name. What he would look like the next day, with Raubahn's marks on display on his skin for all to see. "Bera… fu-" he says and as he imagines covering Bera in white, he cums, spilling over his hand. Shots of white hitting his chin, landing hot and wet against his skin, satisfying and embarassing in equal measure. He lies down panting, thinking of the last time he was so taken, so fast. Feeling like a teenager again, or those stolen moments behind the bleachers with Ilberd He brings his hand to his face in embarassment then sighs as he gets up, turning the lights back on to head to the bathroom and clean up. … Nanamo was right, he thinks. He really needs to do something about this.

For the Florist/Tattoo parlor AU, have a hopeless Raubahn and the cute Bera across the street!

An introduction to a very romcom comedy of errors.

A #MarchoftheTropes entry for Accidental Kiss. Gonna be trying to do a bit of writing this month, and something silly and short between Bera and Ardbert was fun.

Because he has to mistake him for Meteor at least once.

Twelfth Morning pichupal Summary: Two people, both alike in... appearance, soul, brashness, job roles, and some personality traits. A sleepy Bera makes a mistake in the morning, but as Ardbert finds, it was a welcome one.

A small post Valentione's cheering up from Bera to @katsauzone.bsky.social's Hiro! Two chefs that have each kther's back 🥰

A late submission to #sixsentencesaturday!

#berafic
Compared to the chaos of Valentione's, things have time to simmer and slow like the soup stock the day after – a day that finds Bera and a rare despondent Hiro. The simple fact that his mood hasn't bounced back isn't a surprise, but affecting him to the point he wears it on his face so plainly, no masks or bravado in its way – that's what makes Bera concerned. "All three of you made some mistakes and have things to work on but I know you did your best, and that you all still love each other and you'll forgive each other… in your own ways." "You really believe that," Hiro mumbles somewhere between a question and statement knowing the question is unecessary – that the roe has belief and faith in him, in the three of them more then Hiro sees. "I do," Bera says, leaning in as a small gesture of comfort he know Hiro would accept, and just might work surrounded by the familiar smells and sounds of them cooking together.

Most of what I've written of Bera's ships have been during XIVWrites, so I'll choose this short fic of Bera and Meteor thinking about each other... and Ardbert seeing through the bullshit.

Self-care, a second-person fic written as a gift during kinktober whre you get lovingly railed by Fray.

It was my first time writing a lot of things like the 2nd person perspective and Fray as a character. Writing for someone is always a treat 🥰

Image of an Ao3 description for the fic in question. Rated Explicit and written gender-neutral. Summary: You don't always take time for yourself, and even when you do, sometimes it's rushed and distracted and leaves you feeling guilty. Fray reminds you to put yourself first, and just how good taking time for yourself can be.

Having a d a y so thought this would be fun! Probably lots of scattered Bera focused fic, but maybe dip into other fandoms a tad depending on how long it goes. (I'll tag anything that gets nsfw, of course).

I had a few other options but this one stood out this time! Perhaps weird that it's not a fic with Bera in it when that's most of them but a lot of those I love because I'm biased 😅

Honestly my second pick wasn't even Berafic either, but actually a Tansui x Rasho one. The third pic was Bera smut😂
