Todestrieb

Part 1 - Mandatory Medical Leave

Fire Emblem Heroes, Mature, Character Study, Graphic Depictions of Violence

Azama doesn’t ask for much. Beyond his basic needs being fulfilled, the only thing he seeks is a place to meditate. Unfortunately for him, the world has other plans.

Interlude 1 - Catnapping

Fire Emblem Heroes, General Audiences, Light Horror, Background Greilghis

Azama wants a good night's sleep. Kiran wants to activate a volatile glitch that might crash the game.

Interlude 1.5 - Fixative

Fire Emblem Heroes, General Audiences

Duma decides to drop all pretenses and indulge in the scent of Kiran without a hint of subtlety, and Kiran learns a bit more about the culture of Dragon and Laguz, as well as a bit of olfactory biology.

Interlude 2 - Conjunction of Regulus and Algeiba

Fire Emblem Tellius/Heroes, Teen, Heavy Discussion of Death and Grief, Greilghis

It’s an apparent closeness created by the limitations of our own perspective, a lie we tell ourselves because we can only understand, because we can only believe in what we see before us.

Inspirit and supplementary works

Haunted by his past, Renault heads to Dread Isle.

Kishuna's return to Nabata awakens memories from long ago, memories of the first question he was asked, and memories of the first time he was betrayed.

Drang

Fire Emblem Blazing Blade, Mature, Horror

Renault finds a reason to leave Caelin behind.

Or perhaps more accurately, a reason to leave Caelin finds him.

Written for Calamity's Advent

One Last Tragedy

Fire Emblem Fates, Teen, Major Character Death(s), Canon Rewrite/Alternate Ending

Sometimes it’s easier if the truth remains hidden away.

A set of alternate endings to Conquest that focuses on making the Conquest route satisfying as a standalone game. (to me, at least :P)

Fighting in an Age of Loneliness

Fire Emblem Tellius, Teen, Giffghis, INCOMPLETE + BEING REWRITTEN

Giffca does not want to be king. He should probably just come out and say it, but…

A story on how Giffca and Caineghis met, clashed, and (eventually) got together.

Queen Natalie and Mr. Minotaur

Fire Emblem Blazing Blade/Heroes, Teen, Dorcas/Natalie

Dorcas comes home to find that Natalie has made a Halloween costume for him. What could it possibly be?

Mantle Maker

Fire Emblem Tellius, General Audiences, Giffghis

Unexpected changes to a king’s wardrobe leads to gossip about where his newest accessory came from. The king may remain aloof, but surely his closest retainer would know the answers.

Tatanknk

Metroid Prime 3, General Audiences, a practice piece

Samus looked at the Missile Expansion that sat on the floor of the research tank, and then at the Metroids floating in the air just above.

"I wonder how it got there," she thought to herself before immediately moving on.

Ride the Wind

Heath has just started to settle in with yet another new mercenary group that he’ll have to leave behind in due time when he receives an unexpected visit from an entirely expected guest.

Fomortiis challenges Morva to a rematch.

Written for Calamity's Advent

After the Battle

Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon, Teen, Mentioned Child Death

Every victory comes with a cost, but what should you do when that cost becomes an impossibly heavy weight to bear? Do you press on, desperate to make sure that the price you've paid doesn't amount to nothing? Or do you stop your march forwards, desperate to prevent any further losses?

Written for Scores of Heroes, based on the track of the same name from Shadow Dragon.

Tangled Steps

Fire Emblem Tellius, General Audiences, Heather/Titania

Patience is a virtue, and it's one that Heather certainly does not lack.

Written for Fire Emblem Christmas Rare Pair Exchange 2020 for Vault_Emblem

Bright Moon

Written for Another Turn Vol. II

Retainer

Fire Emblem Tellius, Teen, Giffghis

Before calling him his shadow, Caineghis used to call Giffca his retainer.

Canon Madlibs: Kishuna

Fire Emblem 7

Kishuna gets very little characterization by virtue of being completely mute. On the other hand, I am extremely unwell and find this to be a very attractive trait.

On Matters of Gallian Succession and Cat Powerlevels

Fire Emblem Tellius

Gallia has the strongest become king. On paper, at least.
