As some of you know (*cough* @eorzeanpages *cough*) i am back on my bullshit. I've been writing a ridiculous story for FFXIV fandom (again) that has to do with fixing dead characters (again), for basically no reason (AGAIN).
The first story in this trilogy is: i remember red. It all boils down to, again @eorzeanpages challenging me to write a Zenos that they could like. I think they'd say I delivered. But APPARENTLY this story gave me a brain worm I could not shake, and here we are... now with a trilogy. Please consider checking them out if you like miqo'te, Zenos, alternate timelines, and uh... allegory. A lot of allegory.
i remember red, a story of redemption. In which Zenos gets dragged toward redemption five times + one time he chose it himself. (Complete)
i am the last, a story of dreams. In which Zenos learns to be a person, and comes to realize he cannot be a person without learning who that person is first. (Chapter 2/10, updated 9/15/23).
when i was with you, i was real, a story of healing. In which Zenos finds a family. If your biological family sucks, store bought is fine. (Coming soon.)
A few months ago I tore through @missdreawrites‘ Bone Collectors series (well, excepting the explicit stuff; I’m an SFW gal lol) and sketched this up immediately afterward! I forgot to post it then but here it is now; that series was a terrific, wild ride!
Finally: a long-overdue master post of the fics from the Uprooted Holiday Fic Exchange 2017! Please click through for pairings, ratings, and tags.
Thank you so much to all the writers who contributed!
plant your hope by taywen for athenasdragon

strike for love and strike for fear by silverscream for taywen
“What in the name of all that is saint and holy are you doing?”
His voice cuts through the frozen air, its bite willing to be sharper than the cold, and failing miserably at that.
The creature across the clearing continues tinkering with pots and fir branches and wood-handled knives, wrangling them into something on the grand table that marks the length of her porch.
“What’s it look like to you?” she asks, clear in the bright midday light, the warm air visibly puffing in clouds around her mouth and nose.
“Sometimes, the universe is merciful. Rarely, yes, but sometimes. Sometimes, when people cannot make decisions or do their best with what is handed to them, the universe takes a step forward, presses a finger between their shoulder blades, and—
Pushes.”
and so this long event full of work and dedication successfully comes to an end. a huge thank you to my team, author jonphaedrus and betas corvosdaughter and missdreawrites, as well as carvedwhalebones for hosting this awesome big bang, and wonderful and the most supportive big bang crew ! it has been a pleasure :)
missdreawrites replied to your post “just realised my rogue has a passive perception of 9….i love her but...”
A 9? Does she have a negative modifier for her wisdom?
yeah....she has a wisdom of 9. she’s a beautiful butterfly at heart but she makes some of the worst decisions - like deciding she can totally bluff her way through a conversation in a language she doesn’t speak
So, despite the insanity that is my life at present, I did find some time to write some fics for some lovely people. You can find them beneath the cut. Enjoy~ <3
