this game is too cruel sometimes

καλωσόρισμα! ようこそ!


____


This be where I post my fanfiction (mostly). Occasionally, you might also see some of my musings/commentaries on fandom. But I'm really not a blogging person, so most of it are probably nonsensical ramblings on lulzy things I come across while lurking on the internet, i.e. funny gifs/pictures.

When I do actually post about real-life, it will mostly be f-locked because I really don't think what I rant about is worth people's time.... also because I'm a shybot and can be pretty protective of certain things in my personal life. But I don't mind making friends, so if you think you'd like to read the nonsensical/boring ramblings of my robotic life, go ahead and friend. If you don't wish to and only want to stalk fics, then that will be fine as well :)

Master List!

Thought it'd be good to actually have a list of the stuff I've written - eventhough it's really only just a few  for now, haha. Well hopefully, as the year goes on, the list will expand to incorporate more :)

[fic] augury of sins

Series: Tales of Zestiria
Rating: T
Genre: Character study, Game-canon ending/post-epilogues
Characters: Symonne, Sorey, Rose, Mikleo, Alisha Diphda, Lunarre, Phoenix
Warnings: Canon-typical violence, Minor character death… pretentious prose?? IDK
Summary: Truth be told, she never was all that fond of morality plays. Or, five times Symonne struggled with meaning and one time she found contentment in simply being.

chasing dreams

[fic] ember dunes

Series: Tales of Zestiria
Rating: T
Genre: AU. Post-apocalyptic Science Fiction, Cyberpunk/Dieselpunk.
Character(s): Sorey, Mikleo, Atakk, Lailah and Rose. Brief mentions of Michael, Muse and Zenrus.
Warnings: Descriptions of minor violence (?? I think it’s minor-ish but YMMV), blood and injuries, pseudo-science terminology/technology. Also, slight hurt/comfort feels… kind of. I love to die in pain and feels.
Summary: In which Sorey treads in his mother’s footsteps and ventures out beyond the City Dome, only to stumble upon an injured young woman and her strange companion droid. Prequel one-shot to verdant green.

A/N: And… of course, the first fic I share for 2018 is one  with more pain and feels. Of course. Anyway, this was an extremely self-indulgent excuse to write more sci-fi AUs and to experiment/go back to writing more descriptive action scenes set against a backdrop of introspection. Or something, lol. Inspired by many things, but mostly by this track playing on loop.

[fic] A Series of Catastrophic Incidents

Title: A Series of Catastrophic Incidents
Series: Tales of Zestiria
Genre: Game-Canon, Crack/Humour
Characters: Dezel, Rose, Sorey, Mikleo, Lailah, Edna, Zaveid, Alisha Diphda, Sergei Strelka, Original Characters
Warnings: None, unless you’re violently allergic to cats, bad puns, and unhinged utensils

A/N: This started out as a joke fic an excuse to write more cute/silly party shenanigans but kind of spiralled out of hand, lol. So I guess it’s now the equivalent of a side-quest… oops? I may or may not have mixed up some events in the game timeline very slightly for creative liberties, but it’s nothing serious. Takes place in the time after the party’s arrival in Lastonbell and before the incident with Forton in Pendrago.

the moon!! is beautiful! tonight!!!

[fic] verdant green

Title: verdant green
Series: Tales of Zestiria
Genre: Post-apocalyptic-AU Science Fiction, Cyberpunk/Dieselpunk.
Character(s): Mikleo, Sorey, and Atakk. Brief mentions of Michael, Muse, and Zenrus.
Warnings: Character death, mentions of terminal illness, nonsense sci-fi medical procedures and terminology.
Summary: Mikleo refused to vocalize it, of course—Sorey doesn’t need to know of it, never needs to—but even he had to admit there was an amorphous beauty to them.

A/N: So I’ve been seeing this post going around tumblr about using words like “smaragdine” in fic. And what started out as a joke conversation with Namio/Bagel on twitter turned into something more. Also, Buckminsterfullurene is not a made-up term. They are actually the smallest molecule of carbon shaped like a hollow hexagonal sphere, like a football (that’s why they’re also called ‘buckyballs’) except nano-sized.

[fic] Murder! She Crowed

Title: Murder! She Crowed
Series: Tales of Berseria, Tales of Zestiria
Genre: Gen, Humour
Character(s): Artorius Collbrande, Velvet Crowe, Sorey, Mikleo and Phoenix
Warnings: Birb metaphors lol, breaking the fourth-wall, all the crack
Summary: Who are these deranged youths anyway, Artorius wonders, incredulous now. They’ve done nothing but mess up his carefully crafted lines, and there’s just no rhyme or reason to all they’ve been saying.

A/N: Alternatively also titled "Episode AA: V for Vengeance". This started as a practice for writing character dialogues, but turned into a crack fic all on its own. Since some people got good laughs out of it, I thought I'd share it here too. Little to no spoilers for Berseria's major plot points.
