oh yeah hold up I completely forgot I wrote another Ermenwyr thing

Fandom: Lord Ermenwyr series - Kage Baker
Characters: Fenallise Smith, Smith
Word count: 200
Warnings: None
Notes: Yeah, totally forgot I was trying to do a GYWO Yahtzee score with Ermenwyr series double drabbles until I found this in my documents folder. Welp! Here it is! I think the prompt was "tart."

( the easiest way to find out if something is poison. )

Worse than Anything

Fandom: Lord Ermenwyr series - Kage Baker
Characters: Ermenwyr
Word count: 200
Warnings: None
Notes: For Be the First 2022, I decided to pimp this weird fantasy series. This was written to do double-duty as a GYWO Yahtzee prompt, for "loyal" ~~but honestly, given the attention my MS is demanding at present, I'm not really committed to Yahtzee this year~~.

( a new kind of pain )

Entry tags:

A drabble about some Bastards

Gentleman Bastard series; 100 words; Yahtzee prompt "mistrusting." And that's a wrap!

( Ask the right questions. )

Entry tags:

FFIX drabble

This one's about Garnet! GYWO Yahtzee prompt, "adaptable."

( A sharp knife. )

Entry tags:

ALBW double drabble

200 words; Yahtzee prompt was "leathery."

( It wasn't a rewarding experience. )

Entry tags:

Face Me!

Fandom: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Characters: Skrimir, Ranulf
Word count: ~750
Warnings: Alcohol. Some jokes about killing horses.
Notes:

getyourwordsout Yahtzee, "orgulous." Early part 3. I love this stupid cat.

( Skrimir was drunk, which took some doing. )

Entry tags:

Lifelike

Fandom: Final Fantasy VI
Characters: Locke/Rachel
Word count: ~450
Warnings: You know the point where a dead loved one stops being your loved one and starts being a corpse? Existential shit like that.
Notes: GYWO Yahtzee, "patient." I like Locke best when he is being massively fucked-up.

( After failing her so many times. )

Entry tags:

Precedent

Fandom: Tales of Symphonia
Characters: Sheena, Colette, Zelos
Word count: 416
Warnings: Zelos remains... that guy.
Notes: GYWO Yahtzee, "duende." Dramatic irony is the name of the game.

( I just wonder, you know? How he pulled it off. )

Entry tags:

All Circles

150 words exactly, because spiritually this is more like a drabble than anything else and I felt like paring it down to a nice multiple of 10. It was that or pad it out to 200 words, which... why dilute it, right?

GYWO Yahtzee, "strong."

( a drabble at 1.5 scale, re: my girl Sheena )

Entry tags:

The Hammer of Godly Lightning

Fandom: Tales of Symphonia
Characters: Sheena, Raine
Word count: 332
Warnings: None
Notes: GYWO Yahtzee, "fulgurous."

( They have a pact now and everything, but - )

Entry tags:

Four drabbles about Sabin

I continue to slam through a bunch of GYWO Yahtzee prompts because the deadline is approaching and I want 100% completion; here are four 100-word fics about best boy Sabin Figaro.

"Frowsty" ( WoR, ft. Cyan )

"Damp" ( pregame, ft. Vargas )

"Chirp" ( WoR, ft. Gau )

"Inconsiderate" ( WoB, ft. Locke, Edgar )

Antipodal

Fandom: Johannes Cabal series
Characters: Johannes Cabal, some original weird apparitions
Word count: 800
Warnings: None
Notes: GYWO Yahtzee, "persnickety."

I have been reading Michael Moorcock again. This is not a crossover and isn't intended as canon-compliant with any of Moorcock's ... a review site I used to frequent once termed it "MULTIVERSE BOLLOCKS;" I just thought the Cabal series' sort of kitchen-sink cosmology could accommodate a bit more eldritch bullshit In The Style Of, as well as some light soapboxing about how much the Dungeons and Dragons alignment system confuses me. I understand how people tend to apply it in practice, but is that actually consistent with the theory? If not, is the theory that poorly explained or are people bad at reading? Etc. etc. So you see I am using this prompt on both a literal and a metatextual level. I also put some big words in it.

( Incidentally, you can't see the spreadsheet. )

Audience

Fandom: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn
Characters: Naesala, Reyson, Leanne
Word count: 800
Warnings: None
Notes: GYWO Yahtzee, "crunch."

Much though I enjoy the bastard, I find Naesala intimidating to write, and so generally don't do it. This is an experiment. It is an experiment in deliberately thinking provocative thoughts just to piss off the empath looking over your shoulder.

( There was such a thing - herons often had trouble with this - as privacy. )

More Information

Fandom: Fire Emblem 7
Characters: Canas, Nino
Word count: 800
Warnings: None
Notes: GYWO Yahtzee, "curious." Also an experiment in writing something pleasant and unconditionally fluffy for once. Feels weird, man.

( If people didn't want to know, why did they ask? )

Entry tags:

Blunder

Fandom: Final Fantasy VI
Characters: Edgar
Word count: 1000
Warnings: None
Notes: GYWO yahtzee, "capable." I think I started this story in the wrong place, and I consider it a bit of a failed experiment generally, but I think the idea's fine. Maybe it's worth having another go at it sometime with better planning. Anyway, here's a teenaged Edgar having a weird one

( On a scale from one to ten, how insulted are we? )

Entry tags:

Fortunate

Fandom: Fire Emblem 8
Characters: Rennac, L'Arachel, Dozla
Word count: 900
Warnings: None
Notes: GYWO Yahtzee, "narcissistic." WOW I'VE MISSED THESE WEIRDOS.

( Rennac stared at her, hardly knowing which point to object to first. )

Entry tags:

Coming Storm

Fandom: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Characters: Shinon
Word count: 500
Warnings: Pervasive crude language. (It's actually been interesting, this past Yahtzee set, writing 3/5 "dudes I think would cuss a lot if the games they were in weren't rated T," but having to come up with appropriate PATTERNS OF CUSSING for each. ...I mean, I had a good baseline idea for Shinon, but it's been a while. Anyway...)
Notes: GYWO yahtzee, "petrichor." I accidentally overwrote my initial draft of this, and so I wrote a second draft while drinking Bud Light in a marsh, and I hit 500 words exactly on my first go. I'm very impressed with myself. (Shinon's opinions on plants are not my own.)

( But if you had to follow somebody - )

Apricity

Fandom: Tales of Symphonia
Characters: Zelos, Colette
Word count: 400
Warnings: Nothing that's not canon-typical, anyway?
Notes: GYWO Yahtzee, "apricity." Yeah, I didn't know what else to call this one. It's... a metaphor.

I think this is the first time I've actually written Zelos POV. In the past decade and a half I seem to have only ever written from the perspective of other people not quite picking up what he's putting down. Weird.

( Honestly? Hell with Flanoir. )

Drownings

Fandom: Lake of Voices (visual novel)
Characters: Kikka/Bemelle
Word count: 400
Warnings: None
Notes: Post-canon. GYWO Yahtzee, "gurgle." I dislike that word. But you know what I do like? People belatedly flipping shit about near-death experiences. Also: several of the ship dynamics embodied in this Huge Emotional Man/Small Reserved Woman duo. Hence...

( Dreaming of the lake. )

Entry tags:

Laurels

Fandom: Zelda: ALBW
Characters: Ravio. Sheerow is also there but I think that's a given
Word count: 400
Warnings: None
Notes: WHILE I am on the topic of dudes from 3DS games who are basically the alternate-universe fuck-up versions of the protagonist... For GYWO Yahtzee, prompt "lazy." (Turned out grimmer than the prompt suggests, but I mean - that's my brand.)

( Our job's over now. )
