From a quiet farm to the bustling heart of Insomnia, a young girl with an astral-given gift for cooking dreams of something greater- becoming head chef of the Citadel's kitchen. She longs to create dishes worthy of both the King and his son, Noctis, meals that nourish and linger as cherished memories.
Through years of struggle and perseverance, her path crosses with a sandy-haired, emerald-eyed boy whose devotion to cooking rivals her own. But while her life belongs to the kitchen, his belongs to the Crown. Together, they find themselves drawn into a delicate balance of ambition, loyalty, and an attraction neither of them can ignore.
As duty pulls them in different directions, they must face the hardest choice: pursue the bond they yearn for, or sacrifice their hearts for the roles they were destined to fulfill.

[Disclaimer: I own NONE of the art used for the chapters and credit RIGHTFULLY goes to the amazing artist who created the art. All art used for chapters are purely for aesthetics and because I personally liked them!
Additionally, I wanted to add, this is set in an alternate universe where that turd, Ardyn, never existed! I finished playing the game and my heart shattered, and I thought to write this as a testament to my love for Ignis and to give everyone a happy ending! Please, enjoy and leave comments on what you think! Thank you!]

With the Oracle's marriage to the prince of Lucis approaching, her Guardians are prepared to accompany her to Altissia for the wedding.

Sad, scared, and injured, she begins to doubt her worth and lose hope until a chance encounter reunites her with an old friend, Prince Noctis himself. With her new friends, will Ryella be able to rise up once more as a Guardian? Or will she crumple and fall to her fears and past experiences? And more importantly, will she allow herself to love again when a certain gunman begins vying for her affections? Cover created by CelestialShadowWolf.

Though deemed power-hungry and warmongering by those fortunate enough to live outside of its rule, to Gaia Machina, it was home. Well, "home" was a stretch. Initially planned to be an espionage unit more akin to an android than her MT brethren, budget limitations reduced Gaia to just another pawn used for more destruction. That was, until a chance fight outside of Insomnia, Lucis's capital, gave her the opportunity she needed for her own freedom. She was finally able to make her own choice: to take her own side and forge her own path- a path of redemption. Throwing caution to the wind and hiding her magitek nature, she set off to join Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum in finally bringing an end to Niflheim's destruction. However, walls eventually crumble, no matter what. Her act can only be held up for so long before her new friends realize she isn't exactly the hunter she claimed to be. It also seemed that fate had more in store for the rogue magitek than just helping the Chosen King fulfill his destiny. Reminders of her past, brought into a new light by her choices in the present. Gaia certainly wasn't programmed for this. (I do not own Final Fantasy XV, I only own Gaia Machina.

A man should never let a woman cry alone." My face burned even redder than it had before from the tears, "Please, allow me to worry and take care of you. Just like I do for the others."

He smiled shyly and stared down at our hands. He was now turned towards me and placed his other hand atop mine. He rubbed his ungloved fingers on the back of my palm. "Alright,"Complete
