Summary
In the Holy See of Ishgard, and the country surrounding it, there are two boys fated to make arduous climbs to power. As each begins to face their journeys alone, they are brought together. With one seeking vengeance against the Dravanian threat that robbed him of his life, and the other combating the tangled politics of the Holy See and his parentage, they forge a bond in their shared resolve. Only as the years press on do they begin to realize that there is more to living than revenge and justice.
((This fic stays loosely faithful to lore and goes right up to the ending of A Realm Reborn, but it also contains spoilers for Heavensward/the Dragoon Job quest line))

Summary
In another life where Ferndale never burned, Estinien Varlineau lives a simple life as a shepherd. One day after a distant battle with the Dravanians goes wrong, he stumbles on an injured knight and has no choice but to nurse him to health, unsuspecting of just how profoundly the stranger will touch his heart in return.

Summary
Estinien, who ought to have been born a prince but was instead cursed to be born a wyrmling, finds one single friend after he is cast outside of Ishgard’s walls: an orphaned shepherd boy who, for a time, takes him in, feeds him, and curls up beside him to sleep.
More than a decade later, after Estinien has grown into a full fledged wyrm, he still remembers well his shepherd boy—though he knows not where he went or what became of him after their sudden separation. Bitter and lonely, he scours Ishgard’s countryside with flames in his hunt to find his long lost friend.
To stop the wrathful dragon wreaking havoc on his kingdom, the young Prince Hamignant is willing to consider even the unorthodox. And when he learns that Estinien’s blighting of the heartlands is all in search of a single man, a (nearly) bloodless solution comes to mind: make a sacrifice of this once-a-shepherd in the hopes of placating the dragon and sating his appetite, whatever form it may take.

Just a boy and his dragon. Alberic was the best of them all
