FFXIV
WOL and Scions
- G’raha Tia and the WoL slept together before he sealed himself in the Crystal Tower. When he wakes in the future, he learns that the WoL had an Allagan-eyed child.
- AU where Odin possessed the WOL after they defeated his previous vessel, as Odin does, and now he has to save the world.
- Pictomancer WOL has a new soul roommate: The manifestation of Artist’s Block.
Beast tribes/allied societies
- After the Endwalker allied tribal quest, someone introduces the Nibirun to chocobo racing.
- A tribal quest plotline where the tribe’s quests are a transparent attempt to trick the WOL into summoning their god for them. In the end, they realize that The Real God Was The Friends We Made Along The Way. (And then they summon a primal by accident.)
- Amon is reborn as an Ixal.
Others
- AU where overcoming his despair gives Matsya (or some other character) superpowers a la Kamen Rider Wizard.
- Nald’thal accidentally drops his Death Note somewhere on Etheirys. Who finds it and how do they use it?
- The Heart of Sabik gets its claws into Nero, and Cid has to save him with the power of
love whatever the fuck these two have going on.
- Somehow, Zenos returned… in a Hildibrand questline, and is now obsessed with fighting Julyan Manderville.
- The next Hildibrand questline takes place in ancient Amaurot thanks to time travel shenanigans. An extremely serious member of the Convocation (could be Emet-Selch, Lahabrea, or someone else) has to put up with Hildibrand now.
Ancients and Ascians
- In the days of PARADISE, Emet-Selch has the ability to veto people choosing to return to the star.
- AU where the WoL’s massive outpouring of Light aether frees Emet-Selch from his tempering to Zodiark.
- Modern AU: Hythlodaeus is an agent at a publishing house and Hades is a romance novelist. (Of course, he will only publish pseudonymously because NO ONE MUST KNOW)
- AU where Evil Hephaistos locked up Reasonable Lahabrea instead.
- Emet-Selch inadvertently recreates the Convocation as shades in Amaurot, and they wind up babysitting the Scions “until their parents can be found”. And perhaps also Emet-Selch, mistaking him for a lost child too.
- What did Azem do to get banned from the Hall of Rhetoric this week?
- Loveless AU (where everyone has cat ears + tail until they lose their virginity): Elidibus is such a workaholic it’s no surprise he’s still a virgin… and then one day, shortly after meeting Erichthonios, he shows up to a Convocation meeting without his ears and Lahabrea has Thoughts About That
- Azem returns to Amaurot empty-handed after the summoning of Zodiark. Upon seeing Emet-Selch, they ask, “How is Hythlodaeus?”
- Evil Mirror Universe Hythlodaeus has contingency plans for Emet-Selch, Azem, and anyone else who could conceivably stop him from doing whatever Evil Things he’s plotting… but he’s still Hythlodaeus, so he didn’t consider the fact that Hythlodaeus might actually be a threat.
- Whoever’s the newest member of the Convocation makes a mistake and accidentally drinks Elidibus’ coffee, which is somewhere in the realm of “would you like some coffee with your sugar?”
