Summary
Prompt: Gladio/Noctis gen or platonic, aftermath of the marilith attack. Gladio's reaction to Noctis having been attacked by the marilith. does he vow to train harder so he can always protect him from now on? does he feel guilty even though he knows he has nothing to feel guilty for? does he visit Noctis while he's unconscious?
Gladio learns about the attack on the prince on his way home from school. He is thinking about what to do first when he gets home, homework, sword work, or maybe, a Cup Noodle before any of that. He is so lost in thought, it takes him a minute to realize he has been weaving around people, who have stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, their eyes looking up.

Summary
Prompt: The reason Gladio is so adamant about Noct carrying out his duty is because he carries the Amicitia clan's secret with him - they're tasked with both protecting the King and killing them if they ever stray from the crystal's path, because someone like Ardyn cannot be allowed to happen again.
Gladio is three years old when the 114th King of Lucis is born. The future king is a week old when Gladio’s father takes him to meet him. It is then that his father tells him of his duty to the tiny prince. Gladio looks down at the sleeping prince and can’t help but feel bad for him, so small and already without a mother to help keep him safe. Not even a month old and already life is being unfair to him. He decides then and there, he can do this, he will protect this baby from all harm.

Summary
FFXV kink meme prompt: Gladio's Big Chest Scar. Noctis hates it and is super-passive aggressive about it because it means that Gladio fucked off and almost got killed doing whatever.
As the days go on the idea that it is his scar that is making Noctis so withdrawn starts taking on more weight. After catching Noctis giving, not so covert, looks at his chest Gladio starts getting irritated and a little self-conscious.

Summary
Basically these started out on my tumblr with me calling them, season 3 according to me ficlets, and that's pretty much what this is. Each work is a "rewrite" if you will of the corresponding episode. I'd call them Fix-It fics but so far this has not been true :( I swear though at the very least ONE of these will end up a happy fix-it fic! Wish me luck!

Summary
When Langdon turns to look at him, Robby realizes he wasn’t ready to see that look in his eyes. They’re distant, a little glassy. The blue lights hit the whites and seem to make them glow. It’s transfixing. It’s dangerous.
OR
Five times Langdon looked at Robby with those big, stupid, blue eyes, and the first time he finally did something about it.
