    Summary

    Post AC Cloud goes back in time to save the planet. He has a bunch of Reeve's and Cosmo Canyon's work with him and the plan is to steer tech in a different direction, hopefully (and maybe kill some people while Cloud's at it). In order to do this though, they need to work together and in order keep meeting without raising any alarm bells, they do pretend relationship.

    Aka, AC!Cloud as CC!Reeve's hot biker trophy boyfriend.

    Summary

    "But the first time that Soren holds a real sword in his hands, with the knowledge that this sword is his sword? His sword to use and keep and look after? To the kid that he is, it feels like being given everything he’s ever wanted. It feels like this is where his life as a warrior really begins. It feels like holding the beginning of the rest of his life."

    ~ Soren and Claudia grow up expecting to save the kingdom someday. Character/relationship study. Spoilers to S2.

    Summary

    When Agustin tells people that he used to be a nimble and graceful kid, they look at him as if he is insisting that the sky is green.

    Only a lot more disbelieving.

    It doesn't bother him too much. He can see why it's hard to believe when all he does is stumble through life and drop things and trip over his own two feet and find bees willing to attack him everywhere he goes and…well, the list goes on.

    Point is, he wasn't always that way.

    Summary

    Sephiroth was Hojo's son. But he was also Lucrecia's. And that was why, given a chance, Vincent would try to save him. That was why, given a chance, he would go back and try to help keep him on a better path.

    Because when you loved someone, and they were gone, you made sure their kids were okay. And he should have realized that the first time around.

    Summary

    An analysis of Ace!Astarion.

    Disclaimers

    TWs for discussions of:

    Slavery, torture, death, rape, mind control, kidnapping, sexual slavery, manipulation, abuse, ace antagonism

    There shouldn’t be any spoilers outside of Astarion’s questline, which is pretty disconnected from the rest of the game. This essay is also focusing mostly on scenes from a normal Tav run, not a Dark Urge because I’m still playing that one. Ditto for Astarion’s bad ending.

    Any day that a new voice appears in Lucanis's head can be considered a bad day. On the bright side, if this isn't a hallucination, he and his demons might finally get out of the Ossuary.

    AU where Lucanis avoided both Zara Renata's and his grandmother's schemes by staging his own death before joining the Veilguard, letting his cousin take over as heir to First Talon.

    a.k.a. trying to make the fics I wrote way before the game's release (when we had only the reveal trailer + first gameplay reveal) make sense in-universe XD

    Summary

    “These days, I am of the opinion that to be healed isn’t to be cured, but rather to develop the ability to live alongside the most intolerable parts of one’s mind. Recovery is a survival tactic, though less fire-without-flint and more lizard-dropping-tail. Primed for violence, the traumatised mind does this, gives you these frantic, immovable highs and lows. And so my Celebrían is at her baddest on the days darkness spreads thickest. She is at her maddest on the days I walk barefoot across beaches and at her saddest when I sink into myself. She reintroduces me to my own mind.”

    An extended edition of my essay for Tolkien Meta Week: on autofiction, archives, healing, and why I moved across the country after finding out Elrond had a wife.

    Summary

    The constellation Draconis is always depicted by a dragon in flight. Recently, it has come into question whether this was the case in the ancient Imperium. Most Tevinter dragon imagery was reserved for the Old Gods, so why would they dedicate a constellation to dragons in general when specific dragons were held in such reverence? This speculation is fueled by older drawings showing Draconis as more serpentine in appearance, perhaps depicting a sea creature or an unknown eighth Old God that was stricken from historical record. -- DA:I Codex

    OR

    What if Tevinter had dragons?

    Summary

    Ignacio mounts the steps with his death on his back
    He was searching for dawn but day wasn’t dawning
    He searches for his strong face and gets lost in a dream
    He searched for his fine body and found his spilled blood
    Don’t tell me to look
    I won’t watch the blood run slower and slower
    the blood that glistens on the rows and spills on the leather and corduroy of the thirsting crowd—
    Who shouts at me to look
    Don’t tell me to look

    - Federico García Lorca

     

    He remembers the accusation: Except for you.

    Allied Dixing turned a blind eye to any and all indiscretions committed by the foreign General Kunlun. The Black Robed Envoy owed Kunlun his life, so the Dixing forces would never speak against him. The Envoy defended his people with every power he had, and they followed without question.

    They followed both the Black Robed Envoys, not that everyone believed there were two of them.
