    Summary

    "No Summoner was meant to live after the Final Summon."

    It's been two years since Yuna and her Guardians gifted Spira with the Eternal Calm, two years of being a Summoner with no Aeons, and two years since Yuna confessed "I love you" to a man who disappeared into the ether.

    All she wanted was to make Spira happy, but this Calm is not Eternal. A war brews as two factions try to make Spira their own.

    After a special Sphere is found, the High Summoner re-enters the public stage to fight for someone she's never considered important before: herself.

    She would have gladly died for Spira. Now she has to live.

     
    A novelization/ soft remake of Final Fantasy X-2. Not entirely canon compliant.

    This focuses considerably more on Yuna's internal life, bridging the humble Summoner from FFX with the adventurous Idol of FFX-2.

    This is a long love letter to my favorite game-- but loving a game doesn't mean you love everything about it. I wanted more friendship between the Gullwings, more angst, more of a clear antagonist, and less of the especially embarrassing elements.

    This work will take the happy ending option. I've added a new minor antagonist named "Sol."

    Summary

    harp (n.)
    "stringed musical instrument played with the fingers"
    Old English: hearpe
    from Proto-Germanic *harpon- (of uncertain origin)
    (*source also of Old Saxon harpa "instrument of torture"; Old Norse harpa; Dutch harp; Old High German harpfa; German Harfe)

    or: Harper wakes up in Middle-earth, and that quickly becomes the least of her problems.
    (the tenth walker fic I would have written if I'd gotten into lotr as a teenager, because it's never too late to indulge yourself.)

    Summary

    A mass grave is discovered at the edge of the desert, and in it 20 corpses with strange circuitry-like marks on their skin, and masks fused to their faces – masks inscribed with a strange, nearly extinct language that can only be read by a dangerous, reclusive Eremite Tribe . . . and, inexplicably, by Alhaitham.

    Perhaps he should be more bothered by the fact that he never actually studied or learned this language than he is, but as Alhaitham heads out to investigate the grave with Cyno, to learn what happened to these people, there are plenty more pressing problems to worry about. Assassins, betrayal, and ancient secrets plague them on their path to uncover a dangerous plot that threatens all of Sumeru, and suddenly it’s all they can do to survive. With allegiances shifting like the desert sands and primordial powers stirring, Cyno suddenly finds himself unsure of who can really be trusted, while Alhaitham . . . Alhaitham finds himself in a fight for his very soul . . .
