Summary: When Grune learns of Maurits' remorseless role in Fenimore's death, two things become clear to her: Maurits is a bad person and he can no longer stay in House 34.
Author's Notes: This one came about due to a misunderstanding. I had thought that Maurits had briefly been in Luceti in its very early days and thus found myself wondering how that would play out with the current cast of characters, plus Shirley. By the time I found out I was wrong, this fic was already underway.

It's not necessary to have seen Fenimore's death scene, but it might help. Also, this is well over a year old, so, well, yeah.

( 'You killed Fenimore,' she said clearly. 'And you're not sorry.' )

Summary: Grune has a nice visitor to one of her dreams--a nervosa.
Author's Notes: This is something I wanted to do to participate in Katie McCoy's ongoing player plot, but I couldn't think of a way to work it into game canon. I guess you could assume everything to do with Grune is canon, but the second half of the fic can be considered me just goofing around. Sorry, Walter. I love you, honestly I do.

It's not the best thing I've ever written, but I had fun, so hey.

( But then, it's night, as suddenly as if someone had shut off an electric light. )

Summary: Grune is the only one who can stop Schwartz from hurting her friends, and even if she can't remember why, even if she can't possibly hope to win, she'll fight to protect them.
Author's Notes: So this is what happened and Grune during Luceti's Forth Wall event. I didn't really have any way to convey it in the course of RPing with everyone, so I ended up writing it out like this. Grune pulls this exact same stunt in Legendia--or, from her perspective, she will pull this exact same stunt. For someone who's so concerned with helping others, she's sure not very good at accepting help herself.

( 'So you've come,' she heard someone say. )

Summary: Being the first day of babysitting of one Demon King Dhaos, former Prince of Elusion.
Author's Notes: I had a lot of fun with this one, as is no doubt extremely obvious. XD Dhaos was certainly one of the more entertaining people on Fenimore's babysitting list, given his history, so I just plain couldn't resist writing what his first day might have gone like.

I've no idea whether I'll turn this into a series--this is quite old and though I have a few other ideas I've not written anything similar since--but I hope I'll get to write at least one or two more. After all, Grune has a lot of...interesting friends she could corrall into babysitting....

Thanks to Yosie for typing this for me. ♥

( Why did Grune always do these things to him? )

Summary: What is a bikini? Dhaos just doesn't know.
Author's Notes: Definitely one of the sillier things I've written. What is it about this pairing that brings that side of my writing out, anyway?

This fic is super-old, and I wrote it after a particularly sad fic as a way of clearing my brain. It isn't remotely meant to be taken seriously.

Though, doing so anyway, I find it kind of interesting. On one level, Dhaos' attempts to decide for Grune what her clothing should be definitely fall under that whole controlling thing that Grune raked him over hot coals for when she had her memories back. On the other hand...it's Grune. She needs the help.

...Also, I read a few threads of Shiki's when I first came up with this, but how do I wrote TWEWY character. Hopefully she's not too bad....

...Try to enjoy this? (The outfits they're wearing, by the way, are here and, loosely, here. What is drawing.)

Title: A Promise to Keep

Summary: When Giles starts acting very strangely, when he hurts her friends, Grune must keep the promise of their friendship in one of the most difficult ways of all.
Author's Notes: In a nutshell, my take on one of the ways the Vampire!Giles plot in Luceti could have run. I harbour no illusions that this is actually how things would have turned out--but it was fun to write anyway. Ceodore and Selphie's roles were determined by their position on the sign-up lists; everything else came from my brain.

A note for those unfamiliar with Tales of Legendia's canon: The deity of Melfes is Nerifes, which is also the ocean of that world. Thus, any water-element spells also have the dual element of light.

Thank you very much to hickumu for helping me with details of the Los Muertos variety of vampires and how Vampire!Giles would have reacted. Any mistakes are most definitely my own.

Title: Grune and the Bitties - 01. Fenimore

Genre: Fluff
Rating: G

Summary: Luceti AU: After seeing Dhaos fly, Fenimore decides she's going to one-up him.
Author's Notes: So, one day, I thought to myself, "Grune sure runs into a lot of bitties. What would it be like if she had encountered them all at once?" And thus the Grune and the Bitties series came into being.

I'm hoping to eventually write one fic for each bitty she's encountered, although at the rate she runs into them, it's going to take a long time. But that's okay. These are as fun as hell to write, so I don't mind. :D

Some notes for understanding:

* This version of Fenimore is the Luceti Valley version. She's somewhat spunkier and more adventurous than her canon counterpart--but not completely so. Regular Fenimore was fairly mischievous when she was younger, too. ♥

* Fenimore is a Ferines, a water- and air-breathing species from Tales of Legendia whose hair glows blue whenever they're breathing water. So, well, don't be surprised when that's referenced.

* "Eres" are what spells are called on Melfes. A "teriques" is, in short, the projection of a Ferines' soul that can be used for numerous purposes. Walter uses his teriques to fly and Stella has used her to stop a giant laser. (Seriously!)

* The bitties involved and their ages: Sophie (3), Dhaos (6), Fenimore (7), Hubert (10), Helios (12), Ginia (12), Rupert (12)

And that's all! Enjoy the fluff, and try not to drown in it. ♥

( How hard could it be if a little kid like Dhaos could do it? )

Summary: Being one woman's quest to obtain a proper explanation of exactly what Valentine's Day is all about.
Author's Notes: It's still February I win!! /...cough Anyway. This is the platonic companion to hickumu's lovely "Pink Is For Your Special Someone." I actually started writing it before she posted the fic, so there aren't really...all that many similarities. Oh well.

Summary: A quiet moment of mourning from Grune, as witnessed by Norma.
Author's Notes: I am...less than a month behind posting this one! Go me! Nobody mention that one Halloweenfic, okay?

Anyway. December 19 was the first time one of Grune's close friends died in a draft, so I definitely needed to write something for it. The picture referenced in the fic is one Seto drew for her during the horoscope event. It's now one of her treasures. (Aww.)

Summary: The early days of Grune and Dhaos' relationship, as seen through the eyes of Fenimore, Norma, and Dhaos. Part 3: Dhaos discovers the perils of embarking on a relationship with one of the most innocent (and most social) members of Luceti.
Author's Notes: This is the part of the fic that's most showing its age. Some characters' situations and relationships have changed significantly since I wrote this in early fall; rather than reworking the fic extensively, I chose to change only superficial details and leave the overall structure of the fic intact.

There are also a number of characters who have become close to Grune in the time since I wrote the fic and its posting (Pao-lin and Seto come immediately to mind--and Robert, but I kind of doubt he'd be giving a talk to Dhaos) who would have gotten their own special scenes. I suppose that's what drabbles are for....

Special thanks to hickumu for helping me with Giles' section! ♥

Anyway, this is the final part, so enjoy!

Chapter 1
Chapter 2

( He supposed it was only to be expected. Grune had the love of more people than Dhaos could keep track of—much to his discomfort. It was only natural for them to be protective of someone so innocent. )
