Multiversial Excursions

Fanfictions and fan theories for the books, manga, and anime this 21+-year-old inhales on a regular basis. Plus occasional posts about my own works, although I keep it vague on the original stuff. (main blog for sixfingersixtails and portalwalker)

...I should probably make a permanent pin so that I feel less guilty about reblogging my own fic chapters. So, here we go!

Hiya! Call me Cross -- like the fork in the road. I’m a fanfic writer for a lot of different fandoms. I don’t have one specific one I lean on the most; I tend to cycle through depending on what I’m in the mood for at the moment.

My AO3 profile is here, under CrossingTheFourthWall. The only reason the name is different is because it’s a combination of my Tumblr name and my old Fanfiction.net name, FourthWallBreaker (I don’t post there anymore, but I’m leaving it up). I write for a wide variety of fandoms in accordance with whatever has my focus at the time.

60 fics and counting!

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE MY FICS COULD BE LOCKED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. Between AI scraping and people potentially using AI to read fics aloud without consent, my hand has been forced to lock things down a couple times, but I’ve undone that move afterwards. I want to leave things open for my readers, but there’s no telling how things will go in the future.

I have a Discord server!  Mostly it’s become a Tales of Arise fanfic writers hangout, but we’ve got interests beyond the Tales series. I post sneak peeks at my writing here, as well as talk about whatever interests have got my attention.

I do run a couple RP-centric blogs as well -- one for the aforementioned self-insert-ish OCs, Maria Carlsdale, and another for a kitsune-themed Ford Pines. Both haven’t seen a lot of attention (mostly because I don’t have a ton of experience in the RP community....), but if folks want to give them a poke, you’re more than welcome to! Just, ah, go easy on the blog designs for them? I don’t have the skills to go poking around at making them look super fancy like some people do.

CURRENT WIP/FICS-TO-POST LIST:

A Realm Remembered (MobiusFF/FFXIV) A Life Debt (Pokemon X&Y/Legends ZA) Man-Made Harmony (Pokemon Legends ZA/Scarlet&Violet) Mobius Bound (MobiusFF) Captured Moments (FFXIVWrite 2025) (FFXIV/MobiusFF) Distant Cousins (FFVII/Trigun(Maximum)) Chronicles of an Exiled Adventurer (FFXIV(HW)) Heaven’s Shadow (FFXIV(HW)/MobiusFF)

BTW you, yes, you!! New fanfic author!! NEVER let anyone make you feel like you have to add smut into your fic. Whether the concept makes you uncomfortable, or whether the person asking you makes you uncomfortable, or even just if it isn't what you like to write, never let anyone pressure you into writing it for their enjoyment. Your fic is for you and if you don't want smut in your fic, you absolutely don't have to write it.

Pssst hey buddy. If you ever get the chance you should definitely play Expedition 33! Since ya helped me out so much by recommending me good Tales of games, I gotta return the favor and recommend this banger of an RPG heavily inspired by JRPGs like FF! I think you'll get a kick out of it~

I've seen videos of it and I've certainly thought about it!

The problem is I recently picked up Fantasian and I've been having a lot of fun with that one, too. XD Between that and all the fics I want to finish, I've got a slowly building list....

It's on the "to buy" list somewhere, more than likely!

[crossroadsdimension]

Looks at fics

Looks at calendar

...I need to take a break from writing at least one of my projects for a bit. Since I'm good until the end of October 2027.

If I keep going at the rate I have been, even after my "break," though, I might be able to get Wol caught up with FFXIV a little sooner than I thought.

me making ocs when i was 13: okay i want my character to be cool and different but not too different... i dont want anyone to call them a mary sue... or too edgy... or forced diverrsity.... and i have to draw good or else i could end up on a deviantart youtube video like my friend did that one time... this is hard...

me writing characters now: hes a wolf with blue hair and he has a chainsaw that can turn into a bass guitar. his name is road boy because three bikers found him on the road during the apocolypse and raised him to do stunt motorcycle tricks but they have no idea what his real name is hes bi and ace and his best friend is a trans woman and he lives in an abandoned mall

Chapters: 73/105 Fandom: Final Fantasy XIV, Mobius Final Fantasy Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Characters: Wol | Warrior of Light (Mobius Final Fantasy), Sarah Cornelia (Mobius Final Fantasy), Sophie (Mobius Final Fantasy), Meia (Mobius Final Fantasy), Graff (Mobius Final Fantasy), Scions of the Seventh Dawn (Final Fantasy XIV) Additional Tags: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Patches 2.1-2.55, Midlander Hyur Warrior of Light (Final Fantasy XIV), Male Warrior of Light (Final Fantasy XIV), Named Warrior of Light (Final Fantasy XIV), it's amazing how much foreshadowing I've fit into this, Don't copy to another site, uploads weekly on Fridays and extra days as I see fit Series: Part 2 of Mobius-14 Summary:

With the Ultima Weapon destroyed and the Garlean forces weakened, the realm of Eorzea has a moment of peace.

Leaving Wol looking for something to do.

Luckily -- or perhaps unluckily -- for him, even with the Garleans removed from the equation, there are plenty of things to keep his attention, as the world of Hydaelyn does not need a cyclical story to drive it as Palamecia did.

Unfortunately, sometimes people can be just as terrible as a planet out to kill you.

It’s Starlight this chapter, and you know what that means! Time to exchange gifts!

Chapters: 5/? Fandom: Pokemon Legends: Z-A (Video Game), Pocket Monsters: Scarlet & Violet | Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Versions Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Fuladari | Lysandre, Original Characters, Florges (Pokemon), Zygarde (Pokemon) Additional Tags: expect tags to be added as Pokemon come in, among other things, Future Paradox L AU, updates will not be scheduled and will be sporadic Summary:

In a far, distant future, disasters, man-made and not, tip the world off-balance. In a desperate plea to fix the problem before the planet reaches a tipping point, desperate researchers reach out to a man once well-known, but now a ghost that comes and goes where he is needed most.

They do not seek him for his teachings, now, but for skills long-buried. Skills that may save where they once almost destroyed.

The next chapter is up! Winry and L have a discussion about her planned project and start figuring out what Winry’s going to have to do to get her artificial ‘mons out of the ideas stage.

(dry look) Nobody gets to tell me when to cringe. I reserve such assessments to those who have sufficient experience to correctly judge what’s cringeworthy.

Reblog and put in the tags what your blog title (not URL!) is a reference to.

Do you know what ‘The Game’ is?

Yes, and I lost it

No?

I’m too old for this

I’m too young for this

I like how half the tags are ‘fuck you’ while they reblog it to inflict it on their friends and followers.

I see you pulling up a chair at the devil’s sacrament

[karis-the-fangirl]

Once a library teen told me I’d lost the game and I said “What game?” She tried to explain and I kept asking ‘what?’ and she explained more and this went on for WEEKS of this child get wound up and me just going ‘what game is this again?’ 😈

[sproutfits]

Hey. Minors following me. Internet safety is key!! NEVER include these in your bio/byf:

Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are

Trauma - same reason as above

Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!

Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.

In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.

Play devil's advocate and ask yourself about what would happen if someone searched for your information with intent to hurt you. You do NOT owe anyone an explanation!

[casperscove-deactivated20221016]

adding on to this post, i agree w all of OPs points, but i also highly advise against super young teens posting their face on the internet, its so easy to take peoples selfies + name and find stuff out like your school and then figure out the rough area in which you live. same with your phone number. be super careful about what you put out there. once you post it, it really is here forever.

[mylordshesacactus]

OP already said this so I’m just reiterating to emphasize:

The golden rule of information sharing on the internet is: What would happen if someone saw this who wanted to hurt me?

If the answer is that it would make it easier to harass you, identify you, contact you, or god forbid find you, don’t put it online. You can’t fully control who does and does not see that information--not even with privacy settings.

[elfwreck]

All of that, yes.

And also: Why tell people you are a minor? It will not keep you safer. It makes you a target for predators - you've now told them that you do NOT have experience identifying them, and you probably don't have friends who know how to spot the red flags in a "friendly" DM.

Years ago, chatrooms were full of creeps whose first question in private chat was always "A/S/L" - age/sex/location.

Now you guys post that stuff in your twitter profiles so they don't have to ask before deciding if you're a good target.

I'm definitely finishing writing a story well before I'm done uploading the one that comes before it.

Heaven's Shadow is gonna be done by the end of October at the earliest. And A Realm Remembered isn't gonna be done with uploading until next January, unless I shift things. Again.
