Tseng curls a lock of Aerith's hair around a gloved finger. "Tell me, Aerith," he says, and she cannot read his tone enough to discern whether he's leading her on. "If I tell you what you want to hear… if I risk everything to give you what you want… what's in it for me?" — Aerith makes a deal. It's not the one you'd expect. (AU in which Aerith never met Zack.) I do not own FFVII.
"Aerith may rest in peace, but he never can." Cloud may love Tifa with all his heart when he's awake… but when he falls asleep, memories of Aerith distract him all over again. Why do his imaginary senses have to be so sharp? Strong T rating for suggestive themes. I do not own Final Fantasy or the cover art!
"She had left a gaping hole in his chest, one he had never known she had filled." The night after Arietta's duel, Sync realizes a few things… a little too late. T for dark themes. I do not own Tales of the Abyss.
Judith knows Estelle has her eye on Yuri, and she isn't one to break up what she sees as a potential relationship, so she resolves to tell no one about her own attraction and wait for it to pass. However, letting her emotions go is a lot more difficult when Repede gets Yuri to "help". I do not own Tales of Vesperia!
When Martel suggests going to the hot springs in the hopes the group won't worry so much about her crystallization, Kratos is just as troubled about it as ever… until he sees an opportunity to embarrass Yuan, and pass the stress onto him instead. T for suggestive themes and language. I do not own Tales of Symphonia!
*Not* like this. Kratos has never had a day quite like this one. He's been ejected from high society on account of a couple half-elves, the very same with whom he now travels. But as he sits watch over them and thinks over all that's happened today, Martel has a gift for him… or perhaps a test. Can he pass? T for suggestive themes. I do not own Tales of Symphonia or the cover art!
"The confident persona he had painstakingly built for himself was fading fast—and truth be told, he missed the days when he could so easily believe himself superior to others." / Ivar never expected to open up to any human, least of all one of the phony's companions… yet here he is in Leronde, talking to Leia. But why? Pre-ToX2. I do not own Tales of Xillia or the cover art!
Leia thinks it's about time she and Alvin told her parents they're engaged. Alvin thinks he's not going to survive the evening, with future in-laws like Sonia Rolando. Leia's solution is Friendship Potion, but her plan goes badly awry… or does it? 5 years after ToX2. T for strong suggestive themes; non-explicit. Pretty fluffy. I do not own Tales of Xillia or the cover art!
AU. Because the most powerful couple in the universe is by no means immune to lovers' quarrels. In fact, it might be argued that their spats are worse than usual, because things tend to get blown a *little* bit out of proportion with two such strong individuals trying to prove their respective points… I do not own Tales of Xillia!
It's Chosen's Day, and Raven isn't about to risk being alone… again. When he learns an arte that lets him infatuate anyone, he has his eyes (and his arrow) aimed at Judith. However, the universe always has ways of dodging his schemes, and of course nothing goes as expected… Set shortly after the events of the game. I do not own Tales of Vesperia or the cover!
"How can he still feel this way, knowing it will end so soon for him?" Raine, worried about her brother's attachment to Presea, knows no half-elf can find happiness with a human… but a certain someone, who lives just as much in the past as she does in the future, reminds her not to ruin today with thoughts of tomorrow. I do not own Tales of Symphonia or the cover!
Perhaps the gift of the Goddess is that of unconsciousness, oblivion, ignorance of the world outside. But then, why is it Sephiroth who bestows it, and what does he want in exchange? For that matter, to what degree is this the same man Genesis once called friend… and, more importantly, how much of that is his fault? T for blood. I do not own Final Fantasy.
It's been a few months since Dawn of the New World, and for her birthday, Colette is getting a husband. She has a few doubts about whether it's really going to be the "happiest day of her life", though. This follows their ceremony and subsequent wedding night, and Colette's conclusion. Second chapter has M tendencies. I do not own Tales of Symphonia or the cover!
Sephiroth has a lot to think about the third time he is sent to the Lifestream, especially since the equally indestructible Aerith insists on asking some personal questions. But can his soul truly be touched by words alone? Can be read as Sephaerith. T for dark themes. Takes place immediately after Advent Children. I do not own Final Fantasy or the cover art!
AU. It's been a year since Zelda beat Link in a dance competition, and they've had the same petty argument about who really should have won ever since. Link is getting a little bit weary of her teasing; today had better be different from all the other times she's reminded him of his failures. Explanation of changes from canon within. I do not own Legend of Zelda or the cover art!
In which Mercury and Emerald figure out the hard way that hotel-room doors are generally locked for a reason, are not spared the thought of Roman Torchwick procreating, and get their heads knocked together. T for suggestive themes and mild language. I do not own RWBY!
"Insomnia?" "Take a wild guess," she responds. "The man who once had me tortured for information just waltzed back into my life, saying he has nowhere else to go, and now we're working together." / Presa has a lot on her mind, including but not limited to whether there is such a thing as love in the first place, so Wingul helps ease her worries. I do not own Tales of Xillia.
Hilda's seventeenth birthday is less happy than she'd like, given that it's been six months since she defeated Team Plasma and she's tired of being lauded as a hero. But what's really bothering her on this particular day is a bouquet of sunflowers. As it turns out, a little, anonymous push from truth works wonders for her forgotten ideals… I do not own Pokémon or the cover art.
…Is not necessarily before the dawn. What is it really like for an army to face the Chimeriad, even knowing the enemy is outnumbered? And what is it like being the last man standing against four such highly trained warriors? T for warfare. I do not own Tales of Xillia.
What happens when the Chimeriad and Milla's group get together for a somewhat-friendly game of Spin the Bottle? Contains lots of unconventional pairings, practically none of them meant to be taken seriously. Probably takes place soon after the events of the first game. Also probably should be considered crack. T for suggestive themes. I do not own Tales of Xillia or the cover art!
