No one, that's who!

Featuring two of my specialties, "Final Fantasy 6" and "f/m ships where the man is terrified." Not at the same time, though. I could fix that someday, maybe. Celes can be pretty intimidating, and Terra's whole deal does have some spookiness potential. Much to ponder.

Aggregating my fills from Three-Sentence Ficathon 2024 now halfway into its runtime!

( see tags for fandoms included )

Fandom: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones; Final Fantasy VI
Characters: L'Arachel, Rennac, Dozla; Kefka
Word count: ~1600
Warnings: None
Notes: For intoabar: L'Arachel goes into a bar and meets Kefka.

...When I picked L'Arachel to send in, it was with the tacit assumption that the randomly-selected other character she'd meet would not somehow be weirder than she is. I'll be honest, it's hard for me to know what to do with Kefka outside of the context of "tormenting Celes or Terra specifically." But here's an attempt!

( ...some manner of fancy pervert. )

Fandom: Ace Attorney, Final Fantasy VI
Characters: Ema Skye, Sabin Figaro
Word count: ~1100
Warnings: None
Notes: For intoabar: Sabin goes into a bar and meets Ema. (Salty AA4-era Ema, naturally.)

For my previous A Ficathon Goes into a Bar entry, my research consisted of looking at diagrams of well pumps. For this year, I looked at diagrams of arm locks. This is the difference between the Figaro brothers.

Howl's Moving Castle, book!Howl/Sophie on movie!Howl/Sophie
Final Fantasy IX, Steiner
Final Fantasy VI, Strago (& Relm)
Final Fantasy VI, Locke/Rachel

And a couple I accidentally posted logged out...

Hollow Knight, Hornet & the Knight
Collegia Magica, Anne/Dante

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. )

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? )

Fandom: Final Fantasy VI
Characters: Mostly Sabin! Edgar, Celes, Cyan, and Terra also get a scene each
Word count: ~2200
Warnings: Allusions to people's canon sad-ass backstories. Not much else goin' on here
Notes: For getyourwordsout Yahtzee challenge. Prompts were "frigid," "sandy," "responsible," "selcouth," and "oily" and I figured I'd go for one of the big-ticket items off the bat. Hence, one ~400-word ficlet for each. Taken all together (and slightly out of chronological order, for aesthetic purposes), they form a story about what a nice dude Sabin is. Turns out it's refreshing writing somebody pleasant sometimes! Who knew! (I will forget about this immediately.)

I.( sandy )
II. ( responsible )
III. ( frigid )
IV. ( oily )
V. ( selcouth )

Fandom: Final Fantasy VI
Characters: Celes, Gogo
Word count: ~1000
Warnings: Canon-typical angst; oblique reference to canonical suicide attempt; nothing here is intended in a bashy way but uhhhh definitely not taking the rosiest possible view of Locke/Celes or Setzer/Celes here
Notes: For Final Fantasy Kiss Battle 2021: "Gogo/Absolutely Anybody or Gogo & Absolutely Anybody, what you need to see"

( Is this what people think? she muttered, and Gogo only shrugged. )
