In which I have a whole lot of feelings about that whole business with the credits song that I am hereby trying to process, and Edelgard pines for Byleth in every possible timeline.

Though the path they walk is one that is dyed blood red, it is a path they take together. A tale of friendship, heartache, and love between the Adrestian Emperor and her beloved mentor from their days at the monastery, up until the very end. A retelling of Crimson Flower. Now on Ao3 as well!

A collection of one-shots from Tumblr prompts.

As if becoming the lab rat of some mad scientist wasn't enough, he had to drag me to some alternate dimension in the process. But now that I've escaped, as long as I can lay low and stay out of trouble, then maybe I'll be able to get home. That should be easy enough, right? Of course, it never is. Self-insert.

It won't be like last time, Elle thought, looking at the king's friends. They were already dead in the prime dimension, so why couldn't she give them a second chance?

in her final moments, edelgard reflects on her life and laments what could have been. / f!byleth/edelgard. spoilers.

Edelgard, the Adrestian Emperor, and Byleth, her mysterious teacher. A story detailing the most precious moments of their evolving relationship, as they go from teacher and student, to comrades-in-arms, to lovers. (Cover Image by itsaboutspoons used with artist's permission)

Milo, a genre-savvy D&D Wizard and Adventurer Extraordinaire is forced to attend Hogwarts, and soon finds himself plunged into a new adventure of magic, mad old Wizards, metagaming, misunderstandings, and munchkinry. Updates monthly.

Balbanes survives his attempted poisoning to halt the beginnings of a civil war which would have engulfed Ivalice. Too bad this leaves the only true war to be the one fought over Ramza's heart by a plethora of women. Yep, it's FFT done Ranma 1/2-style.

Someone told me to update my description. So I wrote an update for it concerning how someone told me to update it.

What is a chimera without a horn or fangs or a stinger? Wings alone are not enough to keep such a beast alive, as Wingul is beginning to discover the hard way. Follows seven stages of grief in seven days. Not particularly a sequel to "Star-Crossed", despite the similar subject matter. T with some M tendencies for suggestive themes. I do not own Tales of Xillia.

It starts, as many things do metaphorically and very few things do literally, with an avalanche. This is both. [A Chimeriad Story]

Losing is still possible even if you stake your bet on a near certainty, as Alvin discovers the hard way. Proving the reliability of his skills in the coliseum is easy. Rematching Leia Rolando, however, is impossible. How can Alvin face her in combat again when he could have killed her last time? Alvin/Leia if you squint. I do not own Tales of Xillia!

Wingul prepared himself for many scenarios on his path to protect Gaius' ideals. Ending up in the middle of nowhere and having to rejoin the rest of the world was not one of them. Mainly post-Xillia 2.

The links formed by Lilium Orbs may be temporary, but they are important in the middle of a war. Wingul experiences the power of supporting Gaius firsthand.

Out of all the childhood holidays that involved secretive gift giving, Victor quickly realized that acting as the tooth spirit was by far the most difficult.

Gaius was new to the throne of Auj Oule and many adjustments had to be made to the castle now that it was under his reign. There were just some things that Wingul couldn't leave in the king's hands.

Alternate universe: A day in the life of Lord Gaius Maxwell and the Four Great Spirits. Hairstyling is a very important form of expression for the Great Spirits.

...in which you're a complete and utter dumbass! A Jude/Tsunpal one-shot collection.

It's the day before the big fight with Gaius...but instead, Jude and co. end up fighting in Xian Du's latest coliseum tournament. Pairing up to take on wave after wave of challenges, how will our intrepid adventurers fare when pitted against each other? Add some familiar faces to the mix and we have a full-out melee on our hands...

Agria had a fiery temper, lethally blazing artes, and now had her eyes set on a pet to match the theme. Wingul knew how he was going to respond to her request even before she could ask.

How far will you go for your brother?

Julius enters another fractured dimension, another reminder of what could have been

Elize only wanted to celebrate her fourteenth birthday with Alvin. How could she forget he always brought trouble wherever he went? Elize/Alvin

Jude is asked an early morning question by Milla. AU. Based on 'The Last' by Wong Fu Productions.

Gaius was patient with listening to all of his citizen's wishes, even when they were unrealistic or frivolous. His willingness to hear any idea or complaint made him popular and respected among his people. There was just one request that he would not so much as consider.

"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.

…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.

Some glittering objects were just a little too far out of reach for someone Jude's height.

Who knew inviting a known spy and prostitute to join the king's personal guard would end in such an interesting way? Especially since Wingul tried so hard to warn him… Follows the story of Mink's name change and induction into the Chimeriad, such as it is. T-and-a-half for Presa. I do not own Tales of Xillia!

His own life means nothing. It's simple and his young heart believes it will always be thus. (Backstory spoilers)

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!

A collection of short stories centered around Gaius and Wingul, one for each track of the OST. Will contain spoilers for the entire first game, but none for the second. Rating may change as more stories are uploaded.

but all you can think of: when Leia had those dolls, before her staves and the inn and the clinic. Those bodies, perfect and lifeless, a child pulling at all the strings. [slight one sided Jude/Milla, drabble-ish.]

There was a certain cry that transcended time and space.

Alvin hadn't had a lot of time to himself recently, but now that he did he wasn't sure he wanted it. [One shot]

The Knight Lautrec has stumbled upon a terrible realization: Lordran is being cycled over and over endlessly by a stream of 'Chosen' heroes. Now he's intent on finding a way to put an end to the madness, and is enlisting the aid of Quelana, Mother of Pyromancy, Patches the Hyena, and others to resolve this eternal conflict - and break the cycle. Cover Art by 'AskCiaran' on Tumblr.

It was nice, really, to have a place where you belonged. Alvin character study inspired by the scene with him and Elize having the conversation on the swing-set. Rated T for a very brief, one-liner memory of a past sexual encounter.

Set a year after Tales of Xillia 2. Alvin introduces Leia to the wonders of porange wine without thinking of the possible consequences, and wind up in a situation both of them want… but neither of them really know how to deal with. T for suggestive themes; risqué, but not explicit. I do not own Tales of Xillia!

As everyone settle on their path, Leia still need to find her way through the aftermath of their victory and to come to term with herself. Will her struggle to find her goal in life lead her to find the place where she belongs?

Leia never told her mom about the scar on her back.

Relationships are forged through a collection of moments, both significant and insignificant. Leia's surprised to find that it's the latter that mean the most in her relationship with Alvin. [Pre-Established Alvin/Leia]

A short one-shot, song fic, about Alvin and Leia. Read, Review, Enjoy.

A short, sad little vignette about those who are drawn to the gods like moths to a flame. Another entry in my long line of very short stories so I can gauge interest in what series are actually popular for readers.

Elize knows she's worth something, but high society is making it hard to remember that.

After a journey of thousands of miles, the group of companions finally are split to go about their own lives. However, there are still ties that bind them tightly together, and a few good friends are always out to make things happen. After all, everyone could see those tears. Between ToX1 and ToX2. Jude/Milla

Wingul awakes to unpleasant changes in his life. Post-ToX. Endgame spoilers.

Alvin is haunted by more than just memories. - AlvinPresa, some spoilers.

Sometimes, Leticia wonders where the stranger's family is—surely he has someone waiting for him to come home. Surely he has more than this rundown apartment and a woman who does not know his name.

They are two people that by all rules of society should have nothing to do with one another. And largely, they don't - the only time they share together is their weekly ride on the Friday midnight train. However, when their two worlds begin to bleed into one another, they both realize that maybe it's impossible to compartmentalize your life so neatly. [AU]

Coward; I am going to make you suffer. - AlvinPresa, spoiler-heavy.

*spoilers for whole game* Following a business proposal from Balan, Leia goes to live with Alvin, but have they really resolved their issues? Set two years after the first game. I haven't played Tales of Xillia 2, so this is purely head canon. Some Alvin/Leia fluff.

Love was a word that often went unspoken between the two of them, and that included right now. Not because they didn't feel it, but because why waste breath on saying it when you could show it in so many different ways? [post TOX, judexmilla]

Wingul tried to have his CM song approved, with little success. Drabble. Gaius/Wingul.

How much more could life chip away at Alvin before there was nothing left to take? Mild Alvin/Leia. Spoilers for the whole game.

[Spoiler heavy! Follows events before the beginning of the game.] Alvin had written many letters before and it seemed like he always had, but these ones went to a particularly important person.

Your smiles are useless and you know it. But still, you'll keep forcing your lips into that upturned position. It may not be able to cure Jude, but you'll have to keep trying because smiles are all that you have.

A Servant could never survive without the command of the Master, and the Master could never thrive without the loyalty of the Servant, thus they promised, silently, pleadingly, brokenly, that they would meet again , and that, that, was all the hope they had... (Milla/Jude)

He wonders how can he continue loving someone who isn't there anymore. JudexMilla, Post-ToX. Jude-centric drabble oneshot

A collection of oneshots based on one word beginning with each letter of the alphabet. -POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING- [Alvin/Leia]

(Occurs after Reasons. I should've just made a chapter story sorry xD) The party is in the final dungeon, and Alvin decides this is a great time to teach Leia a little something about confidence.

There's a glint in her eye, and a battle of love commences. Jude/Leia

The sound of pain Milla made almost immediately made Jude turn to see what was wrong, placing his fork back down on the plate of stew he was eating when he saw the grimace on her face. She dropped the strawberry in her hand like it was on fire, holding that same hand up to her cheek and rubbing it with a perplexed expression in her fuchsia eyes.

Includes spoilers for late game. For a while, Leia couldn't bring herself to say anything to Alvin. But the regret and the hopelessness in his eyes told her all that she needed to know. He was her friend, and he needed her.

You're a mercenary; if a client pays for it, it's your job to strike down the target without a moments hesitation. You have no personal responsibility for the people that you hurt or kill. Maybe if you keep repeating that lie, you'll eventually start to believe it. Just where do your loyalties lie little mercenary?

Sequel to my first oneshot about Leia and Alvin. Alvin got into an argument with Elise and now he has to make it up to her. Leia has an idea. Can this really end well?

Some people might need a bottle of wine, some peace and quiet and others might prefer a shoulder to lean on. Which one will you chose Alvin? (Leia/Alvin) Rated because of some swearing.

On Rowen's advice, Alvin takes Jude out for a guy's night out in order to help him deal with his romantic troubles; unfortunately, the combination of alcohol and the revelation of both having more in common than Alvin tough leads to utter chaos. Set after the taking of the Airship in Kanbalar.

She tries her best to smile, but deep down, every time she looks at his face, she's nothing but terrified. Terror freezes her in place, steals her words away, and prevents either of them from moving forward. It's suffocating. It's painful. It needs to stop. Now.

Post game spoilers. A small oneshot about Elize thinking about her feelings for Jude. One sided ElizeXJude. Read and review, please!

Because even though Alvin is all smoke and mirrors and subterfuge, sometimes, the truth still shines through.

[JudexMilla] Time and Fate are cruel, or at least they are for Milla. In the best season she could think of, in the best time she ever know of, and in the biggest happiness she ever felt, she need to lost her everything. Warning: Character death.

When the pillars of that life came crashing down, I did not stand and watch them fall. I turned, and walked away. I did not know that I would end up in The Southern Sky.
