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)_/¯

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.

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.

  • Location: Djose

Baralai pays Gippal a visit, and they clear up some misunderstandings.

Notes: Written for [personal profile]candyheartsex 2023, a gift for [archiveofourown.org profile]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.

Notes: Written for [personal profile]candyheartsex 2023, a gift for [archiveofourown.org profile]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).

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. 118 Things Come Together

  • Date:
  • Wordcount: 12820
  • Rating: general (references to death)
  • Fandom: FF16
  • Characters: Olivier, Dion, Clive, Joshua, Jill, Tarja, Goetz, Harpocrates, Josselin, Arthur, Aimee, Rodrigue
  • Genre: gen, canon divergence, h/c
  • Warnings: canon-typical references to death and suicide
  • Point in canon: after the coup
  • Location: mostly the hideaway

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 [community profile]yuletide 2023, a gift for [archiveofourown.org profile]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 × Sabin secondary: 1

Secondary ship

no. 103 Repute

  • Date:
  • Wordcount: 11082
  • Rating: mature (sex)
  • Fandom: FF6
  • Characters: Vargas, Sabin, Duncan, Edgar, Duncan’s wife
  • Genre: slash, coming of age
  • Warnings: sexual content in which one partner is underage (15); implications of incestuous sexual contact; towards the end, descriptions (none particularly graphic) of a corpse, excessive alcohol consumption, and self-inflicted injury.
  • Point in canon: from Sabin’s arrival in South Figaro to the battle with Vargas
  • Location: mostly South Figaro

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 [community profile]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.
