So, according to this guy on Serenes Forest, if you go to Fire Emblem World and enter data on the MyUnit creation page, you can get this wallpaper of Catria. I dunno why MyUnit creation = sexy Catria pix and I maybe don't want to know the logic behind it, but it's already on MY desktop. Shoot, this is the first official full-body art of Cat since the card game stopped, isn't it?
Now, for 'fic.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
samuraiter , this one is for you. I'll remove the dedication if you don't like the shout-out, but your line of thinking definitely inspired this one.
Anyway, while I've been utterly stalled out on continuing any "serious" stories for Archanea thanks to FE12 and its overall wtf-ery, a little while ago I did embark on an appropriately wtf 'fic project, the first installations of which can be found here and here. I figured that, since I objected to a lot of the frothiness of FE12 (especially since most of the bleak character endings are totally unchanged), I would try to appease the 'fic demons with something appropriately frothy. Soapy. Soap-opera-y.
And this turns out to be the portentously titled "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal," in which Lena has visions, Melissa pops back out of obscurity, and Michalis decides to take advantage of some dangling plot threads by tying them up to his satisfaction. It's crack and it's weird, but it's kind of fun to write. I've never explored Lena before, so writing her is different for me; she has a great and complex backstory but I've never had the compulsion to deal with her much until now. Melissa is... Melissa, and Michalis is a scheming, self-centered, but not completely heartless bastard, and Caeda turns up in Chapter Four in full-on politician mode. No, Chapter Four isn't out yet. I dunno when it will be as I appear to have closed without saving at some point and lost big chunks of the text. :/
( Notes and Spoilers for Prologue )
( Notes and Spoilers for Chapter 1 )
This is actually a prequel to one of my other 'fics. See if you can figure out which one (it'll be clear by Chapter Eight... whenever that comes out).
