Summary
A retrospective - kind of rant really - on Final Fantasy XIV and the story so far. A lot of people rave about the game, try to suck people in, and sometimes struggle with how to explain what makes it SO GOOD. In watching other people's first impressions it dawned on me... we the players are the protagonist. But it means so much more than what it seems.
So have a seat, have a warm cup of coco dear hero, and let's talk about our story.
Vague spoilers ahead.

The Words Are Gone, So They Must Be Too by Farstrider, gaithe_guy

Summary
A soul's words transcribed upon skin can never be changed. Just as that feeling within your chest once they are said cannot be felt unless it is true. But a journey to find one's half is never that easy, and sometimes those that find... were never searching to begin with. For Jesse McCree, who lost his arm when he was just seventeen, he realized he would never know the feeling that his adoptive fathers had when they held one another, he would never feel that tightness in his chest and that heady feeling within his lungs when those words were said to him. Why? Because he no longer had those words... so in retrospect... They must be gone too. For Hanzo Shimada, he had given up long ago when many had said those exact words to him, forced them upon him, only to feel nothing but a cold emptiness within his soul, his entire being. Each time broke him little by little... until one night he is saved by some gun slinging Cowboy that shares his serape with him and smiles, frees him, and says those words. That brightness in his chest unfurls, that feeling of actually living comes to life, and he knows. But how can he convince the pessimistic Cowboy that they were made for one another?

Summary
Silly fluff stuff
The younger members of Overwatch have managed to find some aged gaming systems to play with but because of security reasons they can't play with the entire internet, just their intranet consisting of well everyone in Overwatch. Hana can stream sometimes and a guest joins the stream. During downtime they play together and a few unexpected players and events crop up around the couch.

Summary
Clive Rosfield was ready to die, as he lay there on that beach. Origin was destroyed, Ultima was defeated, and he could finally, finally rest.
He was very surprised, therefor, to wake up again in his fifteen-year-old body in the rubble of Phoenix Gate.
He'd been sent back, given another chance to change the world. And with all the Eikons already under his control, he was capable of doing just that. Could he save those he loved from their fate? Could he make this world better than the last?

Bookmarker's Notes
the closure my younger self never knew they needed. Read this whole thing if you were a fan of the old show and looking back on fond memories. Our spring will return.
