    Summary

    The Per Aspera holds a party, though the captain and his helmsman are suspiciously absent. Emerson did not plan for their first kiss(es) to go like this, Veerle didn’t imagine them happening like this, but it’s hard to keep your hands off each other when you’re giddy with drink.
    The morning will be… an interesting affair.
    To answer the question proposed by the title: Probably not this!

    Summary

    “Is that a pokemon? Or another boat?” Dani asked as she squinted from the deck.

    “It appears to be a person,” Veerle corrected from the helm. “By my approximations, I presume she is a teenage woman.”

    “Like on a raft?” Dani was now leaning precariously over the railing.

    “Nope. She’s just swimming in the middle of the ocean.” Finbar whistled, impressed. “Oh, she saw us. And now she’s waving.”

    “She also seems to be being chased by some rather aggressive looking pokemon.” Veerle hummed. “She is still waving, though.”

    “Yup, a Veluza and a Bruxish.” Finbar winced. “But they can’t seem to catch up to her?”

    “What are your orders, captain?” Veerle asked.

    “In retrospect, maybe it wasn’t the smartest idea to explore the world by boat without a single water type pokemon.” Dani grimaced.

    “Hindsight is 20/20.” Finbar cringed.

    Summary

    Out of death, being stranded at sea, and becoming a captive, Veerle supposed finding himself tied up on the deck of a not sinking ship was the preferable option. At least, he hoped it would be.
    Or
    How Veerle found himself employed on the pirate ship Per Aspera.

    Summary

    Also known as "Warlock VR-LA AU."

    After his adventure in the Maze of Life, VR-LA was given the memories of an alternate timeline. With so much to do in the face of a world-ending threat, he didn't have much time to dwell on it. But afterward, with his new Magister duties and adventures with the crew ahead, he has more time to consider that alternate history and his strange connection to this other version of himself. And through that bond, he begins to recognize something odd in the memories that he witnesses. In an odd twist of magic and fate, VR-LA finds himself the warlock patron of… himself.

    Summary

    As VR-LA and Maxim settle into their stabilised friendship, they endeavour to work together more, starting spell research together. Rather than force the wizard to travel back and forth, Maxim invites him to stay.
    But the proximity erodes at the facade beneath which he hides his pain. Even as it does, as his feelings are exposed to the light, those old wounds start to mend. Maybe, if they play their cards right, something else can bloom in its place.

    Summary

    Did I make a bad pick up line even worse by butchering it for the title of this fic? Yes. Yes I did.

    Summary

    A very self indulgent robit oneshot. VR-LA and Maxim are on their Devil contract bullshit again, but this time VR-LA makes a choice that seems perfectly reasonable to him, but is rather concerning to literally anyone else. In other words, VR-LA nearly gives himself the robot version of hypothermia.

    Summary

    "—and I'm not gonna just leave you and the ship behind while I fuck off to Brass for The Holiday."
    The Holiday in question being some week-long City of Brass festival that Dani keeps referring to with Implied Capitals, but the significance of which is fully lost on Veerla; mostly because Dani absolutely refuses to elaborate, and even when she does her explanations provide approximately zero information or context for Veerla to work with whatsoever.

    "Right," Veerla agrees.

    Or:

    Veerla gets to meet Dani's family and it's fine until it isn't.

    Summary

    A series of the many times in this au that these two kiss on the mouth without actually acknowledging their feelings :)

    Mixture of fluff and some heavy angst. Happy ending though.

    I want these out of my brain and into the world as quickly as possible so none of them will be beta read and the editing might be very iffy.

    Summary

    Summary

    Dani was not in the kitchen. Dani was not in her room. Dani was not in either of the two empty rooms across the hall. Dani was not in the engine room. Dani was always in the engine room. Why was Dani not in the engine room? Or at the helm where she was supposed to be? Why is the fact that VR-LA can’t find one fire genasi and her cat making him feel so intensely helpless? Maybe because it feels too similar. Waking up in the middle of the astral sea. Alone. Without the faintest idea where his friends could possibly be. Why aren’t they here? They’re supposed to be here.

     

    Dani seemingly disappears. VR-LA panics.

    Summary

    “Do you want me to stand again then, Captain?”
    “Want?” MR-SN whispered as his hand traced its way over his cheek and jaw, “Hm, I think the better question is; what do you want, VR-LA? Do you want to get up?”
    Or
    MR-SN can't resist the temptation of what's literally been presented at his feet.
    Alternate ending of Chapter 1 of What Happens in the Captain's Quarters stays in the Captain's Quarters. I'd recommend reading it first for context.
