Fandom name: Final Fantasy XIV (but I'm mostly trying to bait you into caring about one specific questline)
Media type: PC/Playstation/Xbox game, OR a text LP style dreamwidth post series (script, screenshots/GIFs, commentary)
Length: The whole game? 1000+ hours. For our purposes, 59,800 words across two dreamwidth posts.
Where can it be found? (Only legal links for this, please.)My dreamwidth! Alternately, here's someone's video LP on youtube, or if you're really dedicated, all but two quests from my writeup (Lv. 80 Love, Astrologically, and Lv. 80 A Literary Delivery) are included in the free trial, but you do have to complete the first expansion's Main Story Quests (Lv 1-50) in order to unlock this questline.
What is it/what is it about?A buddy comedy of, ah, astronomical proportions. A young woman who calls upon the stars to see the future and magically heal wounds follows in her dead father's footsteps to bring her field of study to the wartorn country that had his heart. There, she meets a hapless and infamously frivolous nobleman who has allegedly devoted his life to the same cause and failed utterly. Forced by circumstances to work together, they discover the stars may have just aligned to bring them together.
What do you love about it? Everything. The characters are incredibly charming, the story balances a funny and lighthearted tone with incredibly tragic circumstances, and my little shipper heart is utterly taken with the protagonists as well as a tragic backstory ship.
Where should people start?Right here! No knowledge of FFXIV necessary, and I will so, so gladly answer any questions you might have.
Do you have any content warnings? Death of a loved one; war; familial abuse; a few mentions of human trafficking in the context of piracy.
