Events
Here’s a list of the fics I’ve written for events (exchanges, prompt memes/fests, challenges, etc.). Fics in this section are organised chronologically by year, from oldest to newest.

candyheartsex (3: FF7, FFX)
2023
no. 197 Different Futures
Baralai pays Gippal a visit, and they clear up some misunderstandings.
Notes: Written for candyheartsex 2023, a gift for ryulynn. I enjoyed thinking about the positions of the different sides trying to control Spira’s future during the game – it was fun using that as a rationale for the failure of communication in Baralai and Gippal’s relationship, and there’s something very satisfying about writing “getting back together after a de facto breakup” fic.
no. 198 The Zack Fair Fan Club: Post #3
That’s right, post #2 has hit 40 pages so it’s time for a brand new post! Share the gossip about our favorite up-and-coming SOLDIER First Class, Shinra’s cutest, Zack Fair!!
Notes: Written for candyheartsex 2023, a gift for Banah. This was a lot of fun and, while I was grabbing all the relevant CSS, taught me one or two cool things about the Chrome developer tools! Once I uploaded it to AO3 I found myself having to remove a lot of the finer points of the CSS to make it function properly as a workskin, so the version on my website is a bit closer to the intended design. I had a great time coming up with cringey 2000s-style forum signatures (actually, cringey everything) for this (and also ended up creating a dubious manip of Zack and Cloud and an old computer … if I had more than 0 art skills I’d have just drawn this, and if it wasn’t instrumental to the ✨Plot✨ I’d have left it out altogether, but what can you do).
no. 199 Love Conquers All
When Izeel’s father suggests that she marry her friend and fellow warrior monk Auron, it seems like one of Bevelle’s better arranged marriages; but Izeel is already in a relationship, and is adamant that she won’t marry a man she doesn’t love.
Notes: Written for candyheartsex 2023, a gift for Verecunda. About thirteen hours before reveals I started writing this fic for a specific Auron request, and then spent pretty much that entire thirteen hours writing it apart from a brief break to attend a rehearsal … I mean, what can I say, backstory about young Auron based on a single line from the game, that’s my kind of shit. Particularly enjoyable aspects of writing this included imagining an Auron who is actually not at all bitter or traumatised as a result of earlier events (really a novelty for me – even in the “Braska’s pilgrimage” setting as I normally write it, he’s, er, been through some stuff), as well as writing the whole thing from the POV of a female character who has cause a couple of times throughout the story to reflect on how she maybe fancies him, a little bit, but that’ll never lead to anything because she’s in love with someone else. Also a lot of this was about class differences and Wen Kinoc being a little shit, both of which also come under the category of “things I like to think about”.
challengeonthebigbridge (4: FF6, FFX)
2021
no. 103 Repute
Vargas’s relationship with his father deteriorates as he begins to forge a connection with Sabin. But that isn’t the whole story, and over the years he comes to realise that Sabin doesn’t understand him either.
Notes: Written for challengeonthebigbridge 2021. Both Vargas and Sabin are kind of dickish in this, and the ending isn’t particularly cheerful, given that the last we see of Vargas in the game is Sabin summarily dispatching him. I like to think he survives, though!
2021 retrospective note: this is my Problematic fic of the year, an attempt to deal with the weird FF6 plothole of Duncan’s “death” with bonus slash. I like to think I managed it well enough.
2022
no. 162
Edgar’s brother has returned; Locke can’t help but distrust him.
Notes: Written for challengeonthebigbridge 2022. Based on a draft from late 2020. 2022 retrospective note: It was great fun to revisit an old writing style. And to write about these dweebs again!
no. 163
Braska becomes a summoner.
Notes: Written for challengeonthebigbridge 2022. Based on a draft from early 2021.
chocolateboxcomm (3: FF6, OW)
2021
no. 056 The Land Before, During, and After Time
no. 075
There were always a few bizarre things going on back home, mostly stories your mate told you that never seemed like they could be true, but none of my friends ever had anything this weird happen to them. After I moved up-country for uni a couple of years later, I never heard about anything like it ever again.
Notes: Written for chocolateboxcomm 2021, a gift for Narya (Narya_Flame). This is a bit of an experiment, but I couldn’t waste an opportunity to post something with a large number of very specific Cornish references. I have taken the liberty of including a glossary but tried not to make it too infodumpy.
Several elements including the description of the piskies are based on this very informative post.
no. 074
Terra meets Strago in a pub. Others would take it as a sign.
Notes: Written for chocolateboxcomm 2021, a gift for azurefishnets.

no. 182
Auron gives all he can in battle. Braska watches.
Notes: In response to prompt at fail_fandomanon: verge of collapse. 2022 retrospective note: for this prompt I just went all out with my favourite kind of whump: the kind where there isn’t any graphic injury but just, idk, some guy having a bad time and nearly fainting. (And where the guy is Auron.)
2023
no. 201
Auron and Jecht bicker.
Notes: In response to prompt at fail_fandomanon: … a spare scene: maybe you cut it from a longer work, or you’re hoping to build a longer fic around it, or you’ve got no plans to expand on it, but you still like it anyway. This is one of several scenes from my current WIP that no longer fit in neatly, so here’s a just-about-standalone version.
no. 208
After Braska gains his first aeon, Auron gives him a bath.
Notes: In response to prompt at fail_fandomanon: your fave bathing their crush.
2024

fffc (2: FFX)
2022
no. 149 Coreopsis
no. 150 I Will Survive
Several years after Yuna’s mother decides not to visit her people, the family moves to Besaid. Braska and his wife find their marriage under pressure, faced with suspicion in their new community, their teenage daughter’s rebellious behaviour, and Braska’s nascent feelings for a dear friend. When Yuna declares her intent to take the summoner’s pilgrimage, the stakes are raised, and they find themselves not content with the mere defeat of Sin, but actively trying to destroy it.
Notes: Written for fffc, in response to prompt, somebody lives/not everyone dies. Additional notes here.
FFX Secret Santa (1: FFX)
2022

Braska agonises over how to tell Yuna he is taking the pilgrimage – but it turns out that she understands his vocation.
Notes: Written for Final Fantasy Kiss Battle 2022, in response to althea_valara’s prompt, Braska & Yuna, shared destiny. 2022 retrospective note: the events in this fic don’t fit my headcanon re Braska and Yuna’s reasons for taking the pilgrimage, but I had a lot of fun writing it anyway!
no. 144 The Persistence Of Memory
no. 145
no. 148 Final Pass
On the way down Mount Gagazet, Auron wishes Jecht was with him.
Notes: Written for Final Fantasy Kiss Battle 2022, in response to shanaqui’s prompt, Jecht/Auron, not gently. 2022 retrospective note: Only my second Auron/Jecht fic, although I have a lot of fondness for this pairing! Fun fact: both these fics are in present tense, and oddly enough, so are two of my four Jecht-POV ones. There’s something about him that demands it. He’s very immediate.
no. 147
Cloud recovers in Holzoff’s cabin.
Notes: Written for Final Fantasy Kiss Battle 2022, in response to enemytosleep’s prompt, Cloud & Any (comfort).
2023
no. 200

no. 228 Distraction
“It’s remarkably satisfying to spin, though,” Braska murmured. “Reminds me of a game we used to play at Home.”
Jecht watched him suspiciously. “You – no way. You used to play spin the bottle?”
Notes: Written for Final Fantasy Kiss Battle 2024, in response to cindybug’s prompt, Auron/Braska/Jecht, spin the bottle.

lolitics_meme (1: RPF)
2015
no. 022 Unexpectedly intimate
No relationships despite the title.
Nick is reluctant on his return to Parliament, but he receives encouragement from an unlikely source.
Notes: Written for lolitics_meme, in response to prompt, A nice fluffy story about these two comforting each other? They don't have to be in a relationship or sleeping together or anything, maybe just something gen like one of them is sitting in a cafe daydreaming and the other sees them and just joins them at the table and they kinda talk for a bit? About things that other people 'don't just get' about their position or about the future, etc. Or hot, emotional sex, I literally don't mind. This is based on video footage of MPs swearing in on the 20th of May, with some dialogue taken from this article.
