OK.  So I was looking over AceNoctali's translation of the FE4 epilogue to help with a scene in "While You Were Sleeping." I hadn't looked over that translation in rather a long time and this time around something leapt out at me.

Well, for a start, the fan-translation implies that Azel's dead, which was kind of an issue for my story. But that's what fanfic is for, so never mind. But it also confirmed two other Gen 1 characters as pushing up daises: Ayra and Raquesis. The former was not much of a surprise, given that Larcei's stubborn insistence that her mother wasn't dead seemed like more of a character flaw on Larcei's part, one not shared by her twin.  I've always figured she was dead anyway.  The latter is, uh, explicitly contradicted in FE5.  

And you thought those FE13 Paralogues were problematic. LOL. )

That J!fandom website maintainer who spoke of FE4 as the "Sigurdverse" or however she put it was onto something.

I feel kinda bad doing this, but it needed to be done for the sake of purging my soul.

Note: These stories are M-rated.  NSFW.  Got it?

The dirty details )

All right.  Pieced this together during some long drives this week.

Yes, this bugs me. )

This one has actually been completed for quite some time.  A specific incident in March propelled me to write it, and it was all done and ready to upload before I had second thoughts about it.  Something didn't quite work in the translation from my head to the screen, and so I just let it sit.  But I hate hate hate officially abandoning 'fics, and so after running it by Raphi (I'd credit her as a beta, but any spelling and grammatical errors are all on me, so I'll credit her with "support"), I decided to go ahead and release it.  There's a brand-new self insert FE7 thingy up there on the Pit, so who am I to be behindhand?  

Some notes. )

 Wow.  Springtime is busy for birthdays around here. So, that's a happy belated birthday to Raphi, a timely happy birthday to Sriya, and a happy advance birthday wish for Kender.  I hope everyone has a great time.

Anyway, after 9 false starts, I actually finished a 'fic this calendar month.  

"Does He Love You?" is the end result of 3 of those false starts, an attempt to grapple with Lachesis and "all her weird relationships," with (hopefully) not cheap-shotting anyone in the process.  

Lachesis and said weird relationships are a problem, to the extent that page 94 of the 20th Anniversary FE artbook takes a time-out to spotlight her infamous Ch 5 conversation with Beowulf.  There's that canonical obsession/passion for her elder half-brother.  There's the entire Beowulf angle and the wank over her "true feelings," which does indeed extend into J!fandom and isn't just a translation issue.  And there's the whole third-act drama with Finn, and all the hearts&flowers fanart out there of the two of them doesn't change what the Thracia 776 script actually says about their relationship.
