Fandom: Etrian Odyssey IV
Word count: ~2000
Characters: Logre, Kirtida
Warnings: There is one pretty gross line about a corpse.
Notes:

genprompt_bingo - "Pipes and Beer." With this, I have actually completed a line! I have also completed a personal challenge, which was to get back on my bullshit (i.e. complete this line by revisiting old familiar fandoms). Okay, I did fudge it by making the Zelda and EO fics for installments other than the ones I spent most time writing for, but still counts.

( "Avuncular," that's the angle. )

Fandom: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn
Characters: Shinon, Rolf
Word count: ~1200
Warnings: Strong language, general Shinon-being-Shinon
Notes:

genprompt_bingo - "Artisan / Craftsman." This is maybe the longest it's ever taken me to write ~1200 words, because I got off to a false start that I had to scrap, and also I spent a lot of time reading about various Mediterranean styles of bow construction. Any factual errors are my own.

( Better things to do, like making stuff. )

Fandom: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Characters: Linebeck
Word count: ~2100
Warnings: Vaguely Unsettling Vibes.
Notes:

genprompt_bingo - "Sunrise / Sunset." Postgame.

( Be the first to notice when something's weird, and leave immediately. )

Fandom: Final Fantasy VI
Characters: Locke, Edgar
Word count: ~1800
Warnings: Strong language, pet death mention
Notes:

genprompt_bingo - "Maps." Post-canon.

( Damn, when did I get this high-maintenance? )

Fandom: Tales of Symphonia
Characters: Zelos, ~~Zelos's Mommy Issues~~
Word count: ~1200
Warnings: Some crude humor. Dissociation/unreality/hallucinations (ambiguous - but let's just say this dude is having A Time). Mucking about with verb tenses.
Notes:

genprompt_bingo prompt - "Snow and Ice." What a slutty overcoat looks like is left as an exercise for the reader. Making Zelos suffer is fantastically diverting, and I don't know why I haven't done more of it in all these years.

( Yeah, okay, boo-hoo, your mom's dead. )

Fandom: Tales of Symphonia
Characters: Colette, Zelos; background Lloyd/Colette and Zelos>Lloyd
Word count: ~4100
Warnings: Mild language, canon-typical depressing childhood nonsense
Notes: Ha ha ha wow I've had this sitting around as a WIP for an age. But I have finally decided to be the friendship fic I wish to see in the world. This was originally for Gen Prompt Bingo Round 5 (prompt: "beauty"), but legit I have no idea whether I'm still doing that or not. It's been over a year.

( I've got your back, all right? )

Fandom: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Characters: Linebeck/Jolene??? A survey of my peers suggests that technically, technically, this might count as pairing fic.
Word count: ~1100
Warnings: None
Notes: Pre-canon. Gen Prompt Bingo - "Badass."

( If you drew a circle around all the brave deeds ever done on the ocean, and you drew another circle around all deeds ever done by one Linebeck, those circles would touch only in one place, and by accident. )

Fandom: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Characters: Ravio, Link, Sheerow (actually, does the bird count? ...hell with it, of course he does, I am only flesh and blood)
Word count: ~7500
Warnings: A MORE DIFFERENT BAD ENDING. Some horror, though not gory.
Notes: The other Sad Lorule Thoughts I mentioned. For the prompt "Resurrection."

I thought it was interesting how cavalier Ravio is about Link dying all over the place - though the game is careful not to refer to it as "death" in so many words. "Fall in battle," "keel over," "get done in," etc., I guess for plausible deniability or convenience of handwave. But I have a weakness for overthinking game mechanics, and this one gave me license to write something incredibly weird, so here we all are.

( The land needs its heroes. )

Fandom: Herbert West - Reanimator (H.P. Lovecraft)
Characters: Narrator, West
Word count: ~3000
Warnings: Violence.
Notes: I totally forgot to post this. Hi. It's the end of February and I am backdating this mightily. I gotta get back on the horror horse. The horrorse? Point is, yeah, more to come.

( Quite enough excitement for one day. )

Fandom: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Characters: Hilda, Ravio
Word count: ~500
Warnings: BAD END.
Notes: I was actually about 3k words into a completely DIFFERENT story full of Sad Lorule Thoughts when this flashed into my brain fully formed. I hope to have the other thing done at some time in the next week, too, because let's be real, Ravio falls into an alarming number of my character bias sweet spots ~~ugh go away you flaily disaster of a person~~

For the prompt "Watching Helplessly."

( There were other priorities at the end of days. )

Fandom: Herbert West - Reanimator (H.P. Lovecraft)
Characters: Narrator, West
Word count: ~3000
Warnings: Eventually there will be violence and death
Notes: I was like "how can I make an AU that ends even more horribly than Sine Qua Non" and here we are. This story is also meant eventually to fill the "Mind Games" square for Gen Prompt Bingo. You might ask, if you'd looked at my card, "why 'mind games' when you also have the prompts 'horror' and 'resurrection' available," and then I'd tell you oh trust me I have other things in mind for those squares

( No need to take unnecessary chances. )

Fandom: Over the Garden Wall
Characters: The Woodsman
Word count: ~150
Warnings: None
Notes: Gen Prompt Bingo and so forth. I was going to write a bunch of DAD ANGST but then I accidentally this thing instead. It is not my usual.

( There was much he had not known )

Fandom: Johannes Cabal
Characters: Johannes Cabal
Word count: ~~Johannes Cabal~~ ~650
Warnings: The Fear Institute. That's all I'll say.
Notes: For Gen Prompt Bingo round 5.

( It didn't work that way. )
