    Summary

    Cloud doesn't know why the God of Destruction demands for sacrifices, nor does he care. He just wants to drag him off his throne, and possibly make sure he can never hurt anyone else.
    It's quite hard to follow through with his goal. Partially because killing a god is a lot harder than Cloud expected, and partially because it turns out maybe Sephiroth wasn't so keen on hurting people as Cloud had assumed.

    Summary

    Nibelheim's usual quietude is shaken up when new residents appear during a dark and gloomy autumn. Cloud Strife, the forever black sheep of the village, watches from a distance as he tries to wrestle with the complacent life he has settled for.

    For better or for worse, with nothing but a stranger's flimsy hope to guide them, Sephiroth and three kids are running away from something bigger than anyone could ever be prepared for.

    Summary

    “Let me make myself perfectly clear.” He leans nearer, so close his masked face fills your whole field of vision. “I have no intention of restoring anything.”

    The intensity of his words shocks you. None of that low, simmering rage is directed at you, however; his eyes flick to the Erdtree again, and there is nothing but resentment.

    You feel your lips stretch into a smile. “Good. I didn’t want to have to kill you again.”

    Or, you are both wrecks, just in different ways. How could you not be, after everything? And when a bond forms, neither of you is happy about it.

    Summary

    A Tarnished of no renown has done the impossible: burned through the impenetrable thorns, and become Elden Lord. However, having a title and power means little unless one uses it. With Queen Marika the Eternal returned, and the Rune of Perfect Order used to mend to Elden Ring, it is time to bring Order back to the Lands Between.

    Summary

    A Tarnished clawed their way towards glory, and found herself wrenched further than she ever should have gone. The Lands Between are stagnant, the Erdtree burns, and the Elden Ring is in need of a new vessel. Radagon, in purging his fatalistic half, will mold a new firmament for the Golden Order with whatever resources he can attain, including the Tarnished.

    Summary

    “How old were you when you first used blood magic?” Fenris asks him.

    “Twenty,” Hawke replies without hesitation.

    “And the men? When did that start?”

    Hawke is silent for just a beat. His fingers still against the steel tub. His voice is low when he says, “Before that.”

    Summary

    Alone, they are like the right and left hands, which need no conversation to know which holds the knife and which the rope, to know who chops and who steadies. But you can deny your body’s instinctive response to nearly anything, she has learned, once you get into the habit of it.

    Summary

    More than 20 years after the Exalted Council, Thedas is in ruins. Finally, a hardened and desperate Lavellan conjures a dangerous spell that has the power to stop the Dread Wolf once and for all.

    Summary

    *Sequel to The Wolf Wakes*

    _

    "You look like shit, Chuckles.”

    Solas’ lips twitch, just slightly, and in the dim light he raises his head and looks Varric in the eye.

    “Is that how you would introduce me, were I a character in one of your books? I’m curious. If you were writing me into being, what words would you choose?”

    __

    After losing Athera and giving his orb to Corypheus, Solas has no choice but to join the fledgling Inquisition and try to make things right. But with a nosy dwarf and an even nosier spy master knowing far more of him than they should, this time everything is different. A wolf without a pack is vulnerable, and Solas is in no state to play games.

    Summary

    One day Andruil grew tired of hunting mortal men and beasts. She began stalking The Forgotten Ones, wicked things that thrive in the abyss. Yet even a god should not linger there, and each time she entered the Void, Andruil suffered longer and longer periods of madness after returning.

     

    Andruil put on armor made of the Void, and all forgot her true face. She made weapons of darkness, and plague ate her lands. She howled things meant to be forgotten, and the other gods became fearful Andruil would hunt them in turn.

    Summary

    This is a continuation of 'In the face of your light'
    | Part 1 can be found here! |

    ---

    A year after Corypheus’ defeat and the revelations of Lavellan’s past, the world continues to turn.

    But the journey is far from over. Lavellan now faces the ripples of the changes he’s made and the waves that they can become, while an old friend returns, challenging everything he knows of the world and of himself.

    But their old friend doesn’t return quite right and ancient enemies stir from the shadows.

    Hopefully, this time, things will come together instead of falling apart.

    ---

    Summary

    With all of Jenova’s fragments destroyed and no more Remnants, Sephiroth spends years trying to escape the Lifestream.

    Eventually, he transports himself to a new timeline where he possesses the body of that world’s Sephiroth.

    Or that was the plan, but the man was not so easy to defeat. Now, Sephiroth finds himself sharing his body, trying to force him out of it.

    Sephiroth needs that body to survive, but there's also the fact that the man is dating Cloud, which makes Sephiroth determined to steal his life.

    This time, there will be no need for Sephiroth to turn Cloud into a puppet to get him to do his bidding. This time, Cloud is giving himself to him freely, ignorant of the darkness hiding inside Sephiroth’s heart.

    But Sephiroth never anticipated that Cloud would be the one pulling his strings instead.

    Summary

    Sephiroth remembered the smell of apples and sunshine.

    Gold woven hair, crystal blue eyes, the members of the Strife Kingdom had once stood as a beacon of hope and pride. Their people loved them and Sephiroth, having visited only once, remembered their kindness and love.
    But kingdoms fell to dust and rebuilding them wasn’t easy. Especially since he wasn’t sure whether the crown prince was even alive or not.

    ~

    Cloud Strife dove into the nearest pile of dirt.

    Summary

    Sometime in the early 1980s, the future Emperor of Wutai raided a Shinra lab in a small town called Nibelheim, and brought an unusual prize home with him: a small boy who had been an experimental subject. Godo Kisaragi proceeded to raise the child as his own.

    More than a decade later, Prince Sephiroth Kisaragi returns to Nibelheim as part of a campaign to liberate the Western Continent from the clutches of Shinra. There he meets a young man named Cloud Strife, and, on impulse, offers him an opportunity to train to become part of Wutai's most elite military company.

    And history begins to swirl . . .
