Wanted to bring this one up again, and I don't think it's been posted on tumblr yet. A series I commissioned from @roxetta23, a modern AU meeting for Joshua and Dion. There are 4 pages. (This is also on ao3, and specifically, here is a link to the nsfw followup to these 4 pages https://archiveofourown.org/works/58248142/chapters/148330135 )
do you think they do heart hands to each other? the answer is yes
When you're trying to get actual work done but the PhoenixFlare Discord decides you have better things to do. Like make these because the new Franck Muller x Final Fantasy XVI watch collab and the time change happened to coincide.
I never stood a chance.
Gift to Arixabell. Pencil sketch based on her post-canon coffee shop fic "Perfect Blend"
Gift for @ouch-ness. Pencil sketch roughly inspired by her fic "I was only dreaming" and other discussions about Sleeping Beauty AUs
One year since I first bugged @roxetta23 and made a wonderful fandom friend. This is a gift fic for her, which she also helped me illustrate without knowing what it was for (and gifted it to me in the process). phoenixflare ffxvi reincarnation AU with Joshua as a bunch of birds. Also it’s just cute bird art to enjoy, regardless of fandom
"How many years I know I bare— I found something In The Woods somewhere."
Phoenixflare x Hozier's "In The Woods Somewhere" "Lost in the Woods" Secret Santa Prompt for @february13rose "In the poem, the protagonist finds himself in the woods, and is terrified by beasts until his love interest in Heaven sends a mentor to pull him out of the woods and set him back on the virtuous path he had lost." (x)
To me, this gifset is a very loose 'retelling' of Dante (Dion) moving through the "circles of hell," though primarily the version of the stories presented in Hozier songs (both In The Woods Somewhere, which these lyrics come from, and most of the phenomenal album Unreal Unearth: Unending, particularly Hymn to Virgil) which that draw very heavily on the imagery and themes of The Inferno, albeit more romantic way only Andrew Hozier Byrne can be. In my mind, we are following a Dion reflecting on the madness inflicted on him by Ultima, both the slow degradation of his confidence in his father and his ability—and how, after what he did in Twinside, he considers himself lost and unworthy of saving. At the start, he is waking to a version of himself he cannot face, one burdened by regret & a lack of desire to live–but who is slowly led back to "the surface" and forgiveness by "the voice from heaven" (Joshua), who is also in a way his Virgil in that he is the authoritative guide leading him through things he doesn't understand.
In my original vision, the ending of this set is a lot sadder—more in alignment with the tone of the game and Hymn to Virgil (where Dante refuses to leave hell because he won't leave Vigil, and...they are trapped in hell together lol). In this, he escapes that hell with Joshua (out of respect for Luna's desire for a happy ending), both because he #DeservesIt and also because of the Phoenix's proverbial and literal ability to "revive" him, whether through love or his powers. Either way, the redemption and forgiveness he desires is achieved through his alliance with Joshua–which is actually kinds like the story told in canon, at least to me!
Also, side note: the grid was done in reference to Dion’s talk of his gilded cage in the quest Clive does for him in the Hideaway. It just struck me as poignant to give to him here.
Hope you enjoy your gift! :)

It should have been a normal journey. A favour to his old mentor, an opportunity to get away from his overbearing family for a while. But when Joshua travels to a secretive little village to study some peculiar local legends, he soon has to learn that some legends are far more real than he would have thought.
This particular legend turns out to be hungry - and unreasonably handsome.
My Secret Santa gift for this year's Phoenixflare event is live!
In the aftermath of Phoenix Gate the Undying are too late to rescue the Phoenix, and Joshua Rosfield is spirited off to the empire of Sanbreque. There he will lay in slumber for five long years. The best imperial physickers will tend to his needs, as well as the Dominany of Bahamut. For Dion Lesage refuses to give up hope that his friend will one day reawaken.
Magic has left the world, but imagine the Eikons live on as constellations in the starry night sky. My Secret Santa gift to @fluffybabybirds for the PhoenixFlare Discord event, for the prompt Celestial.
