Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Title: Adrift
Fandom: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Pairing: Zihark x Ilyana
Theme Set: Delta
Rating: PG to PG-13
o01. Air
the air around the Port of Toha is crisp with a sea spray, but Ilyana’s suddenly unbearably hot when his rich blue eyes slide over to her form
o02. Apples
it’s funny how the first thing he thinks when he’s kissing her is of the fruit but, then, she is clutching it tightly in her palm
o03. Beginning
Zihark first notices her on the ship bound for Begnion and as the wind ruffles her softly purple hair he recognizes the feeling of starting something
o04. Bugs
who would have thought? she thinks as she lifts the spider away, chuckling mercilessly to herself, the big, bad swordsmaster is afraid of insects?
o05. Coffee
warmth in Daein is a commodity and he can’t quite stomach the sludge Ike puts together and settles for holding her tight against him instead
o06. Dark
it slithers out from the corners of her mind and she whimpers in her sleep, not even peaceful when Zihark holds her through the entire night
o07. Despair
“Ike’s dead,” Ilyana cries softly into his shoulder that fateful day in Crimae, “and I couldn’t stop it.”
o08. Doors
when they tell her that Muston and the rest of them are dead and it will take till spring to thaw their bodies out, she locks the sadness in another place he won’t be able to touch
o09. Drink
“ugh, you’re drunk,” Ilyana says but can’t say much more as Zihark’s intoxicated lips clamp firmly over hers; the only time he’s been brave enough to do so
o010. Duty
he goes back to Crimae when Ike calls because he owes Ike everything and she works down the bitterness that their Lord General didn’t call her back too
o011. Earth
he slides across the mud to reach her and hold her pale, thin body in his arms and suddenly the blood that stains his sword isn’t nearly enough
o012. End
Ike’s sweating just a little bit, heaving Regnall over his shoulder, and her arms that hold Rexbolt are shaking as she lowers herself down beside his ragged body, whispering into his ear that they’ve won
o013. Fall
using magick-anima magick anyway; she should ask Rhys about it later-is a bit like falling into a black abyss, especially when you’ve exhausted yourself, and he says swinging a sword can feel the same way
o014. Fire
Ilyana never mastered fire magick and Zihark’s shirttails have the scorches to prove it
o015. Flexible
when the slip of mage arches backward to avoid an arrow zipping over her head, Zihark finds himself drooling instead of worrying, washed away in a series of rather… interesting fantasies the move conjures
o016. Flying
when Ilyana shrieks with glee as Ulki lifts her into the air, Zihark tells himself he’s certainly not jealous even though he does consider changing his opinion of laguz, or at least the bird ones
o017. Food
everyone sighs over true love the night when Ilyana decides to follow Zihark to his training session instead of sticking around for a fourth meal
o018. Foot
“I find myself having fantasies about your feet,” Zihark tells her as he lifts her over his shoulders to a tree branch, looking at the only place he can without having truly dirty thoughts
o019. Grave
she tells him her parents are buried in Crimea and he stands beside her as she weeps because she’s not quite sure where
o020. Green
the color of grass doesn’t exactly suit her, but Zihark likes it better than the whiteness of the disease that pales Ilyana’s cheeks in the frigid cold
o021. Head
when the snow piles high above them, Ilyana manages to keep up with him by focusing on his top of blue hair
o022. Hollow
seeing the sword plunge deep into his stomach gives her the worst empty feeling she’s ever felt, worse than when she doesn’t eat for three days
o023. Honor
if Zihark is anything, he’s an honorable man, so he tells her to wait until the wedding and damns himself for a fool in silence
o024. Hope
after seeing all the blood and death, after charring a few bodies herself, seeing him walking to her with fire in his eyes makes her chest burn in rebirth
o025. Light
for the first time in her life, Ilyana curses the light, especially when it’s Rhys and he suddenly has a clear view of Zihark’s hand as it slides up her leg
o026. Lost
“how the hell did we get here?” Zihark asks as they survey the tropical jungle, surprisingly unscathed from their fall overboard; and then they hear the bear-like growl
o027. Metal
the myrmidon’s sword manages to cut across her arm and Ilyana suddenly has a new sympathy for all the men Zihark has killed to protect her
o028. New
of the many things he’s done, Zihark finds the most amazing sensation is holding his tiny daughter for the first time as Ilyana looks on in exhausted happiness
o029. Old
before, Zihark had been afraid of getting old, losing his skill with his sword over the course of time, but he looks at Ilyana and decides he might not mind it after all
o030. Peace
even though the land has not yet been restored, Zihark’s completion is found when he holds Ilyana’s naked body against his for the first time
o031. Poison
he feels like his entire life is poisoned and he feels guilty that she swallows it without complaint
o032. Pretty
“she’s pretty, innit she?” the drunk slurs as he eyes Ilyana’s short skirt, but he can’t get the lewd suggestion out as he feels the cold metal of Zihark’s sword against his throat
o033. Rain
in the rain her lavender hair darkens to a violet hue, but he’s pleased to learn it still smells like cherries
o034. Regret
his life is full of regret and fear, but it’s nothing compared to the regret that stems through him when he sees the Warrior fall on top of her and he can’t get to them in time to stop it
o035. Roses
when he first sees the female mage he thinks of delicate flows, lilies and daisies, but when the electricity sparks from her fingertips he remembers thorns and thinks of roses
o036. Secret
“I gave you an apple, now tell me a secret,” Zihark challenges, pulling her lips away from the fruit, but his confidence is quickly lost when Ilyana leans in and says she loves him
o037. Snakes
“not all snakes slither,” she says softly and moves quickly away, leaving him to wonder who the hell hurt her
o038. Snow
“if I never see this shit again it’ll be too soon,” Zihark says as he kicks the offending white and he can only manage a growl when Ilyana throws the snowball into his face
o039. Solid
in a world where everything is gossamer and fleeting, Ilyana finds something wonderful in the way her head bunches against his chest
o040. Spring
the chill of winter never leaves Daein, but Zihark is certainly seeing bright, springy colors as Ilyana’s hands slide down, down, down
o041. Stable
she’s not sure why Zihark insisted on building them a house-since they move around all the time-and he merely replies, “for the stability.”
o042. Strange
“it’s the strangest thing,” Shinon says as he watches Zihark’s eyes devour little Ilyana, “I thought he had a hard-on for laguz.”
o043. Summer
they lull in the sheets a bit longer than usual, but that’s only because the warmth in their marriage bed is more tempting than the warmth of the outside world
o044. Taboo
“I’m not telling you about sex!” Lethe cries, eyes wide and face pale, and Elincia laughs and hunkers down to tell Ilyana about the birds and the bees
o045. Ugly
“beorc babies are ugly,” Ranulf remarks when Zihark shows off his daughter, but the laguz quickly changes his mind when the swordmaster reaches for his weapon
o046. War
people mourn and regret the war and Ilyana feels guilty that she can’t because then would she have met Zihark?
o047. Water
Ilyana is as slippery as an eel in the water and Zihark gets a peculiar thrill when he’s finally able to trap her against a rock and do all the things that remind her she’s human
o048. Welcome
it never ceases to amaze him that every time he comes back from one of his jobs, she’s there waiting for him with a smile
o049. Winter
the harsh, dead season is nothing compared to the chill that freezes her insides when he jumps in front the dragon to take the fatal hit for her
o050. Wood
like a piece of driftwood he finds her half-dead body on the shore, long after everyone else has given up hope
