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

( see tags for fandoms included )

Fandom: Tales of Symphonia
Characters: Lloyd/Colette; minor roles for Raine, Zelos, Sheena with vague Zelos/Sheena implications
Word count: ~4700
Warnings: Canon-typical Emotional Problems and Dark Implications(TM)
Notes: For

Darkhymns for Yuletide 2023! Midway through writing this goofy fanfic about a terrible date, I thought "what if I structured it like a heist, actually," and then we were off to the races.

( Learn how to complain. )

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: 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. )

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 )

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

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

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. )

Got more prompts, wrote some drabbles!

FE8, Rennac/L'Arachel, "adroit"( L'Arachel best girl )

ToS, Raine and Genis, "syrupy"( Raine Sage best girl )

FFVI, Celes, "aromatic"( Celes best - wait I'm seeing a pattern here )

Ace Attorney, Fey sisters, "indulgent"( Maya's opinions are not my own ftr )

Six of Crows duology, Nina, "sprattle"( I actually know nothing about this setting's magic system. my bad. )

Fandom: Final Fantasy VI, Tales of Symphonia
Characters: Edgar Figaro, Lloyd Irving
Word count: ~5200
Warnings: None
Notes: For

intoabar. Edgar walks into a bar and meets Lloyd.

This was a lot of fun and my thesis statement is: /Will Smith poses at a bunch of JRPG tropes

( Don't tell me. There's a secret village living in the ruins near the Seal of Fire. )

Some from this ficathon, some by request last fall.

ETA 02/04: Bravely Default; Tales of Symphonia; The Years of Rice and Salt; Raffles; one more FFVI, one more Ghost Trick, and one more Folk of the Air

( see tags below for fandoms list I guess? )

Fandom: Tales of Symphonia
Characters: Mylene Wilder. also a very young Zelos
Word count: ~1100
Warnings: I. I don't know how to warn for this one. It's just kind of miserable. I've been mentally referring to it as "Zelos's Mom Has Some Problems." She got shoved into a shitty arranged marriage / magical selective breeding program! It's a bad scene for everyone!
Notes: I got nothin'.

( You're not even a person. )

Some requested by friends, some from this ficathon. I'll probably keep editing this post as and if I do more, heh.

FE7 ( Kent and Sain; Sain and Fiora )

FE8 ( Rennac and L'Arachel )

FE15 ( Mae; Saber and Celica; Faye/Silque )

EO2U ( Chloe and Bertrand )

Tales of Symphonia ( Zelos and Sheena; Raine; Kratos )

Herbert West - Reanimator ( These assholes. )

Fandom: Tales of Symphonia
Characters: Kratos, Anna (posthumously), minor Colette
Word count: ~450
Warnings: None
Notes: Really early-game stuff: set after Colette, Raine, and Kratos leave Iselia, but before Lloyd and Genis get to Triet. The game tries so hard to get you to buy Kratos as this super enigmatic badass, but it's just as easy to read him as the most awkward man alive.

( It did not bother him. )

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: Tales of Symphonia
Characters: Lloyd, Genis, Zelos
Word count: ~2200
Warnings: Zelos.
Notes: Ha ha ha I haven't written Zelos in eight years and I haven't written Lloyd or Genis ever. But I was just thinking, since Zelos is the resident selling-everybody-out-to-everybody-else guy, wouldn't he have to randomly disappear more often than we're actually shown in-game?

( Whoa there, Lloyd. I didn't know you were such an old mother hen. )
