    Summary

    Mages have done any number of perilous, ill-conceived, and senseless things in a bid for power. In the grand scheme of things, the Holy Grail War is barely worth noticing. Waking up monsters that should never have been disturbed may be slightly higher on the list.

    Waver Velvet is nineteen, possessed of a grudge, a relic, and a dangerously powerful desire to forge his own path. He’s going to do better than the mistakes of the past. Because if he doesn’t, it’s probably going to kill him.

    Summary

    Wind-tossed roadblocks arranged into a crude pathway would make an inviting entrance for any desperate traveller. The sound of the stampeding waterfall was just out of earshot as boots crossed the toppled wire fence. A stop sign bent out of sorts, prickled vines hugging porous walls with vigour. A discarded cellphone. Trodden on. Broken glass doors with faint, pained moans of the eroded building frame. Audible if everything else was silent.

    Any whisper of Filgaia had been silenced for years, however.

    A bulletin board, with reminders and pictures of employees. A fire hose and blanket. A coat on the sharp edge of a cabinet. A creaked, hanging jaw swinging under a set of jaundiced, glossy eyes.

    A narrative retelling of the Wild Arms (PS1) story through the lens of a semi-modern zombie apocalypse. This came to me randomly in a chemistry class and I wanted to see the vision.

    Summary

    “Not so strange,” Rocky says mildly. “Back in not-so-distant past Eridian eat other Eridian all the time. Top of food chain. After natural disaster, war, not so much else to eat. Ecosystem delicate, especially if carnivore, especially if big. 🎵🎶 good thing to have to fall back on.” 

    “Cannibalism,” I manage to get out. 

    “New word. Cannibalism.”

    Summary

    “They kept asking questions that had nothing to do with Quinn’s performance.” I roll my eyes and notice that I’m getting worked up again. Trying to get the midnight blue Eridian back on track had been a nightmare and I’d almost lost my composure a couple of times. “Just what I like to do and what I’ve seen of Erid so far and if they can give me a tour once my suit is finished. And they insisted I tell them what my favorite type of mineral is. I mean, why would they want to know that? What does that have to do with how their kid is doing in class?”

    Midway through my rant Rocky has stopped carding his claw through my hair. He is silent for a few seconds and I’m just about to ask him if he’s alright when his whole body starts to tremble. It alarms me enough that I wiggle my arms underneath me and lift my upper body off the couch. 

    “Rock?”

    But then the trembling morphs into full on shaking and then laughter so loud and shrill that I have to cover my ears.

    **********

    Erid's first ever parent teacher night does not quite go according to plan.

    Summary

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    Summary

    Iskandar is back in Waver's life in London, and with him Waver's life changes.

    In the spirit of why I'm drawn to their relationship, it's a bit of everything. From goofy, silly comic relief to deeper discussions, honesty, and some of the waxing philosophical we all put up with from time to time in Zero, my goal was to encompass their relationship, all the fun but all the serious notes I could. Bonus: some cameos of Waver's students!

    -~-

    ‘Boyfriend’ wasn’t the right word. It was flimsy, casual. It felt too light for the permanent, heavy mix of emotions in his soul regarding Iskandar. Servant and master turned king and subject- yet also friends with the previous push and pull of a mentor and student relationship. It was all too much to pin down, even ten years after losing Iskandar and having him back again. Their physical relationship had started soon after he’d brought Iskandar back, half embraces and close proximity turning to kisses and close hugs. What Greek definition of love resided inside him? It had been about a month and he still didn’t know.
