Summary: This is another awkward mess Grune has gotten Dhaos into.
Author's Notes: Inspired by this adorable drawing by [personal profile] northeasternwind, because seriously, how could I not.

He should, by now, be accustomed to Grune pulling him into odd and uncomfortable situations. )

Summary: Dhaos comes back to himself only at the sound of a knock at the door.
Author's Notes: Something I blew the dust off to post, because man oh man am I behind. I was trying something a little different that I think was at least reasonably successful? So yeah.

He raised his head and let his dulled gaze drift around the ruins of his apartment. )

Rating & Warnings: G

Summary: When Norma finds out that Dhaos has never taken Grune on a date, she's determined to take care of that lapse, pronto. Dhaos isn't so enthusiastic.
Author's Notes: And at last I've finished! This one could also be titled "Dhaos and the Unreliable Narration," because holy shit, dude, could you be less self-aware. (Signs point to no.)

This fic is showing its age, because pretty much everybody but Helios outside of the Tales cast has since gone home in Luceti. Sob.

Enjoy?

'What? That big LOSER! Where does he get off, not taking you on any dates?' )

Post-Lucetific - This one is slightly less tragic

Title: White Is For Oblivion
Fandoms: [community profile] luceti, Tales of Legendia, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Genre: AU/Angst
Rating & Warnings: PG (vampires, language)
Words: 2676
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the above media.
Summary: Those who are brought back from the dead are unnatural, their emotions muted and their existence dulled and painful. Grune will not permit such a fate to befall one so loved.
Author's Notes: So this is over a year old and one of the last things I wrote before I went on my massive DS9 binge. It was born from the speculation of what direction the Buffy comics were going to take with Giles. This was one of the possibilities, even if it wasn't the direction the comics ended up going in. Possibly Giles would have preferred this to what actually happened.

I'm going to get back to posting my Luceti fic now, I think--I currently have a massive backlog of stuff I wrote but never got around to dictating up. I'm just going to be really slow about it. :D;;

Stars can be born, live, and fade away in the space between one moment and the next in a mortal life, and still she will never be 'too late.' )

Author's Notes: Written for the Luceti October 2013 fanworks competition! I don't think I've ever written anything with more characters in it, and man oh man I hope I was reasonably accurate. @_@

Happy Halloween!

But this year—fingers crossed! —everything seemed to be free and clear. And so Norma was determined that Sophie was going to have FUN, dammit! )

Post-Lucetific - This one is a liiiiiiiiiiiittle tragic

Title: The Last Days of Decline
Fandom: Tales of Legendia/The Hunger Games trilogy/[community profile] luceti
Genre: Angst
Rating & Warnings: PG-13 (major character death, violence, dismemberment, trivialisation of mental illness)
Words: 6474
Disclaimer: I don't own the above media.
Summary: Katniss isn't sure she likes this new woman from the Capitol. She acts as though none of the rules of District 13 apply to her and she watches Katniss far too closely.

Grune fears for Panem. Try though she might to inspire hope, it may well be that the despair in this world is too great and that Schwartz will claim it in the end.
Author's Notes: As I was reading through the Hunger Games triology, I kept thinking about the ways that this series could be crossed over with Tales of Legendia, and I kept wondering how Grune, whose role is to inspire hope and to save world after world from being claimed by the other half of her soul, could possibly win in a fight for Panem. Exploring the idea is what led me to write this.

I've tried to make this comprehensible for people who only have experience with one work or the other. Tales of Legendia isn't exactly a well-known game, and a lot of Grune's role is left ambiguous in it, so I've also made use of extensive amounts of headcanon. So, um...good luck?

Title: A Piano Lesson With Miss Grune
Fandoms: [community profile] luceti, Tales of Legendia, Eternal Sonata, Axis Powers Hetalia, original works
Genre: Gen
Rating & Warnings: G
Words: 1491
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the above fandoms.
Summary: Frédéric François Chopin teaches a typical atypical piano lesson to Grune.
Author's Notes: This is the fic I wrote in honour of Frédéric's departure from Luceti ages ago. Now that he's back, I suppose it's a good time to post it. :D;;

This was an interesting exercise, in that teaching piano lessons is kind of my job, but presumably I would teach very differently from someone from the 19th century. I've also never taught anyone like Grune (although I certainly have taught my share of wiggly small children!), so that was another fun challenge. Writing this was a little too much like work, though, so I don't think I'll do anything like it again anytime soon. Whoops.

He had never before taken on a student with such an—impairment to the memory. )

Lucetific - AU - Luceti Storm Draft

Title: A Chance To Protect Luceti
Fandoms: [community profile] luceti, Tales of Legendia, Persona 3
Genre: Gen
Rating & Warnings: PG-13 for violence
Words: 3861
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the above fandoms.
Summary: During a fierce storm, Grune and Ryoji need to protect Luceti--but first, Ryoji needs to become something else.
Author's Notes: One of my big regrets in Luceti is actually sending Grune on the draft that took place during the giant storm. I really, really wanted to have her team up with Ryoji, but ultimately I decided that it had been long enough since her last draft that she was due for another one.

Then I ended up not doing much of anything, thereby wasting both my opportunities. v___v

So, this fic is my attempt to remedy that. I suppose it could be considered the final part to "A Chance Rescue" and "A Chance Visit." Pretty much, I took the scenario that Snarky wrote up for Ryoji on the village post and basically ran with it. I had a lot of fun writing this one (doing fic from Grune's point of view is always a great thought exercise), and I think it turned out fairly well overall. So yup!

'Ryoji, do you want to meet up so we can protect the village together?' )

Fandoms: [community profile] luceti, Tales of Legendia, Tales of Phantasia
Genre: Angst/Romance
Rating & Warnings: PG
Words: 1048
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the above fandoms.
Summary: She is a flower in time, and like the sun he opens her.
Author's Notes: This is another experimental fic I wrote over a year ago, the one that "First Bloom" was going to be a part of. (You can definitely see where I stole themes from it in the first part, whoops.) This time, I decided to see if I could incorporate the lyrics of Noe Venable's "Flower in Time" into the body of a fic in any kind of coherent way. I don't think I did too badly, all things considered!

I would definitely recommend downloading and listening to the song, since it really sets the mood.

Author's Notes: This was another beginning of a fic that didn't work out--this time because I forgot what season I was setting it in, oops--but that I liked enough to post as a standalone. It's part of an experiment I did with writing poetic prose and atmospheric pieces, and sadly, my hypothesis was correct: I need a lot more practice. Oh well.

Summary: Cecil has something very serious on his mind.
Author's Notes: This fic is brought to you by the entry for four year olds in my mom's old child development book, which states in part:

He may display signs of an Oedipal conflict where he imagines that Daddy dies or goes away and he marries Mommy and takes care of her.


...After that, the fic pretty much wrote itself! XD

He sets down his ball, closes the short distance between them, and with a serious look, he takes her hand. )

Title: A Bad Person
Fandoms: [community profile] luceti, Tales of Legendia, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, Tales of Phantasia, Tiger & Bunny, original works
Genre: Gen/Humour
Rating & Warnings: PG (referenced character death)
Words: 3690
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the above media.
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.' )

Author's Notes: And I continue my trend of posting old fic. I'm pretty sure I wrote this somewhere in the summer or maybe fall, but I really can't be more specific than that. I do remember having fun with these, though, so I hope there is pleasant to read as they were to write.

Title: Redress
Fandom: [community profile] luceti, Tales of Legendia, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a couple of blink-and-you'll-miss-it references to Tales of Phantasia
Genre: Gen
Rating: PG-13
Words: 5951
Disclaimer: I don't own the above fandoms.
Summary: There is no balance between good and evil on Giles' Earth, and Grune cannot leave the home of one so loved in such a condition. However, she is not strong enough to right what is wrong on her own.
Author's Notes: So basically this one is me shamelessly indulging my weakness for Grune being a badass. It took me a long time to write, then to dictate and edit, but overall I'm fairly pleased with how it came out.

While I haven't watched all that much of Buffy, I tried to make the appearance of the First Evil what I think would be likely for the show. Even if it isn't what I personally would have gone with, I think this fits in the universe better. I could be completely off base, though.

I apologize in advance for any mistakes I might have made with the canon; I did a lot of reading and looking at images, but yeah.

Genre: Gen
Rating: G
Words: 2213
Disclaimer: I don't own the above fandoms.
Summary: When your housemate believes everything she's told, it can lead to some very, very weird conversations.
Author's Notes: I wrote this one over a period of more than half a year. Every single situation in the fic is a direct result from things people actually told Grune in the course of Luceti; I didn't make up a single one of them. At the rate things are going, I could probably write a sequel--Grune hears a lot of weird things--but it's not in my plans at the moment.

...At the moment.

Thanks to Yosie for typing this one for me--though I suppose he did have a good reason to be invested in it. :P

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.

Title: Sonnets between Watcher and Weaver
Fandom: [community profile] luceti, Tales of Legendia, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Genre: Gen
Rating: PG
Words: 353
Disclaimer: I don't own the above fandoms.
Summary: Two sonnets written by Giles to Grune--and one written by her in response when her memories return.
Author's Notes: One of my students needed help writing a sonnet for his homework one day last month; afterwards, I thought it seemed an interesting challenge and decided to give it a go.

I've deliberately deviated from form in each one; rather than have a reversal, I changed the formatting to suit my own purposes. I will also freely admit to being unskilled at poetry, having not made a serious attempt at the stuff outside of what was required in class since high school. Still, I'm trying to expand as a writer, so here you are.

Ah, gentle hand upon my bloodstained own.... )
