Aerith × Tifa main: 1
Main ship
Angeal × Genesis main: 1
Main ship
no. 179
Genesis begins to degrade; Angeal swears to hold him together.
Notes: Written for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
seasonsofdrabbles autumn 2022 round, a gift for Eratoschild.
Auron × Braska main: 13 secondary: 1
Main ship
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.
no. 159
Jecht gets to know his fellow students.
Notes: In response to prompt at fail_fandomanon: master/servant + high school AU. Disclaimer: I am but a mere European and don’t really know what a high school is.
no. 158
The night before the Final Summoning, Auron and Braska confess their feelings.
Notes: I just wanted to write about my boys having sex and being sad, as one does, and then I ended up concocting an entire additional chapter based on a throwaway line in the first one, which is effectively a completely separate story where the being sad remains at the forefront but the sex doesn’t. tl;dr there is only One Porn, just a heads up I guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
no. 138
The journey north across the Moonflow is quiet.
Notes: Written for threesentenceficathon 2022, in response to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
rionaleonhart’s prompt, Any, any, accidentally falling asleep on each other. 2022 retrospective note: this is an absolute banger of a trope, which I couldn’t pass up.
no. 134
Auron ought to be able to let Braska go.
Notes: Written for threesentenceficathon 2022, in response to raisedbymoogles’s prompt, any, any, “there’s a million reasons why I should give you up / but the heart wants what it wants”.
no. 123 Everybody’s got somebody to lean on
The most promising of the young warrior monks of Yevon gradually learns that some things are more important than his career. Pre-pilgrimage.
Notes: 2021 retrospective note: just managed to get this one edited and posted before the year rolled over, having started work on it in October. The get-together fic of my heart, with all the [unnecessarily dark and dramatic] themes I love, for my OTP whom I’m obsessed with. I definitely wrote this entirely for myself and I have no shame.
no. 082
There is Yevon, then there is Braska, and then there is nobody.
Notes: Written for threesentenceficathon 2021, in response to notapaladin’s prompt, Any, any, religious devotion.
no. 068
A quiet night on the pilgrimage.
Notes: This was going to be the buildup to an attempt at smut; the attempt was never made, so …
no. 062
It will be good to have a guardian who is less invested, Braska thinks. Auron disagrees.
no. 061
No amount of love can convince Braska to change his course.
Notes: Written for threesentenceficathon 2021, in response to prompt, Any, any, I’d give you anything but you want pain.
Secondary ship
Auron × Braska × Jecht main: 2
Main ship
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.
Auron × Jecht main: 1 secondary: 1
Main ship
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.
Secondary ship
Auron × Tidus’ mother main: 1
Main ship
Baralai × Gippal main: 2
Main ship
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.
Beatrix × Garnet main: 1
Main ship
Biggs × Wedge main: 1
Main ship
no. 206/212 Bon rétablissement
Summary: Biggs receives a visitor. Un ami rend visite à Biggs.
Notes: Written for Semaine de la fic française. Versions in both French and English available. As far as I’m aware, Ms Folia has no canonical first name, so I invented one that isn’t intended to have any particular significance.
Braska × Yuna’s mother secondary: 1
Secondary ship
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.
Celes × Edgar secondary: 1
Secondary ship
Celes × Locke main: 4 secondary: 3
Main ship
no. 053
Celes’ things keep going missing. When she realises why, she’s surprised to find she can relate.
no. 044
The Phoenix succeeds in its task and revives Rachel. Celes tries to forget Locke.
no. 038
Celes considers what she knows about her companions. There’s something different about Locke, but she can’t work out what it is.
Secondary ship
no. 113 At a time like this
Now that it’s just the two of them, Celes begins to pay attention to Sabin, and to how he and she can support each other.

Celes × Sabin main: 1 secondary: 1
Main ship
no. 113 At a time like this

Notes: Written for press_start_comm 2021, a gift for mako_lies (wingeddserpent).
Secondary ship
Celes × Terra main: 2
Main ship
no. 144 The Persistence Of Memory
Terra doesn’t remember Celes, but Celes has enough memories for both of them.
Notes: Written for Final Fantasy Kiss Battle 2022, in response to seventhe’s prompt, Terra/Celes, it was strange back then.
no. 052 Staying in touch
Edgar and Terra keep up a correspondence.
Notes: Written for yuletide 2020, a gift for moemachina. Prompt: Good news, Kefka has finally been defeated! Bad news, Edgar finds it’s not as much fun being a dissolute playboy techno-king anymore. Also, Terra won’t return any of his calls.
Cid × Hilda main: 1
Main ship
no. 091
Black magic could come in handy.
Notes: Written for multifandomdrabble 2021 round 1, a gift for Phlyarologist.
Clive × Rodney main: 1
Main ship
Cloud × Zack main: 2
Main ship
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).
Darill × Maria × Setzer main: 1
Main ship
Darill × Setzer main: 1
Main ship
no. 165 Taking Flight
Setzer dreams of flying.
Notes: Written for press_start_comm 2022, a gift for wingsyouburn.
Dion × Terence main: 6 secondary: 1
Main ship
no. 225
Dion and Terence return to Twinside after the news of Olivier’s accession.
Notes: Written for Teredio Secret Santa 2023, a gift for Falathren. An additional gift from the pen of my alter ego
ulsterbus.
no. 156
Dion continues to work for the realm. Terence wishes he would look after himself.
Notes: Written for Teredio Secret Santa 2023, a gift for newty333.
no. 222 Job Interview
When it comes to the recruitment of his knights, His Highness has some dealbreakers.
Notes: Inspired by a conversation on the Teredio Brainrot discord server, and particularly by alraune’s comment: “Do you think Dion would fail anyone from the job interview who says they signed up to follow their idol, Sir Terence? 🫣”
no. 221
After Dion is gravely wounded, Terence decides he needs to reveal his feelings.
Notes: My take on the confession scene.
no. 218
Dion and Terence venture out to tame a wyvern, but get more than they bargained for.
no. 217
Terence worries about his prince, and finds himself doing so even after Dion returns.
Secondary ship
no. 118 Things Come Together
Olivier survives the events in Twinside, and is freed of Ultima’s possession. At last, he might ask his brother about the glorious dragoons.
Notes: Written for yuletide 2023, a gift for raininshadows. I’ve concocted an explanation for Olivier’s survival that may not align with canon lore around Ultima etc., but please suspend disbelief for the purposes of this AU.
Edgar × Locke main: 1
Main ship
no. 096
An exchange of letters, at short notice.
Notes: Written for multifandomdrabble 2021 round 1, a gift for Phlyarologist.
Edgar × Sabin secondary: 1
Secondary ship
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.
Edgar × Terra secondary: 1
Secondary ship
no. 052 Staying in touch
Edgar and Terra keep up a correspondence.
Notes: Written for yuletide 2020, a gift for moemachina. Prompt: Good news, Kefka has finally been defeated! Bad news, Edgar finds it’s not as much fun being a dissolute playboy techno-king anymore. Also, Terra won’t return any of his calls.

Notes: Written for threesentenceficathon 2021, in response to wallwalker’s prompt, Final Fantasy VIII, Quistis/Rinoa, slowdance.
Reno × Rude main: 1
Main ship
no. 092
By the time they land, Reno’s opinion of his partner has changed.
Notes: Written for multifandomdrabble 2021 round 1, a gift for Eratoschild.

Main ship

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.
