The Bog

Title: Salve
Fandom: Final Fantasy 4
Characters: Edward/Cecil
Rating: PGish
Length: ~4.6k words
Summary: After a resounding defeat in Fabul, Cecil learns a little about what to fend off -- and what to let past his guard.
Notes: This is actually a rewrite of a story I wrote like...probably 15 years ago at this point, if not more. Horrifying thought. I was curious to see what would happen, and the result was that it's five times as long and has a lot more blood in it, which...#WritingJourney, I guess. It's still extraordinarily sappy, to a degree that is probably embarassing, but hopefully I've proven my edgelord credentials enough that I am allowed this indulgence. Wound bandaging, a bit of extra blood on top of that (look, Darkness does HP damage, what do you want from me), angst with a mostly hopeful ending, bed sharing, indulgent amounts of headcanons about game mechanics.

( A knock on the door was the last thing Cecil wanted to hear at the moment )

Fandom: Final Fantasy 4
Characters: Edward/Anna (though, like...just look at the notes I guess)
Rating: PG-13
Length: ~1.2k words
Notes: I really don't know how to rate this -- it's terribly graphic or anything, it's just kind of a huge downer. I mean it's primarily Edward carrying Anna's body around. Death, grief, brief thoughts of suicide, aftermath of violence.

( Prompt: last kiss )

Title: And a Bottle of Rum
Fandom: Final Fantasy XIV
Characters: Alisaie/Lyse
Rating: Explicit
Length: ~2.k words
Summary: Alisaie makes an all right pirate when she's properly inspired.
Notes: Written for an exchange. Alisaie and Lyse fool around in an inn after a misadventure, roleplaying a bodice-ripper ravishment fantasy with Alisaie as a pirate and Lyse as a hapless maiden. I think I went overboard on the silly pirate talk, but maybe Alisaie would too. Also features bondage, knife hilts used as sex toys, and girls being dumb.

( Thinking quickly? Not your strong suit. )

Title: Sea Song
Fandom: Final Fantasy V
Characters: Faris/Siren
Rating: Explicit
Length: ~2.9 words
Summary: Faris takes the siren prisoner to lead them out of the ship graveyard, but it hardly goes as planned.
Notes: Written for Femslash After Dark 2019. Dubcon with some mind manipulation and violence for spice, and it leans a little into the whole undead thing Siren has going on, mechanically speaking.

( It made a comely enough semblance of a maiden, when it wanted to. )

Title: You Never Forget Your First
Fandom: Johannes Cabal series
Characters: Horst/Johannes
Rating: Mature
Length: ~1.5k words
Summary: A moment between two monsters in a crypt.
Notes: Missing scene from the first book. I always thought "You wish!" was a weird-ass thing to say to your older brother when he asks if you think letting him drink your blood is too homoerotic. So, supernatural-instinct-driven (largely) unrequited incest feelings. No sex, though, just vampire biting.

( So, when Horst knew that biting his brother was the worst mistake of his life, he was speaking from a position of expertise. )

Title: Barrel of a Gun
Fandom: Final Fantasy XIV
Characters: Livia/Minfilia
Rating: Explicit
Length: ~2.5k
Summary: Livia so rarely loses her temper.
Notes: For an earlier Nonconathon, set during Minfilia's imprisonment at the end of ARR. There's really no way to put this delicately: Livia fucks Minfilia with a gunblade in this one.

( And on top of all that, the woman was damnably stoic. )

Title: Final Steps
Fandom: Final Fantasy XIV
Characters: Emmanellain, Honoroit, Artoirel
Rating: Teen
Length: ~2.2k words
Summary: Honoroit prepares for battle.
Notes: Gen fic going over some of Honoroit's feelings before and during the final battle with Nidhogg. Written basically right when Final Steps of Faith came out, so quite a while ago at this point. This grew pretty much directly out of me RPing Honoroit at the time, so a lot of the specifics of Emmanellain and Artoirel's characterization was inspired by my RP partners who played them, to whom I am eternally grateful. I also tried to lean heavily into portraying fear, an emotion I think video games tend to gloss over -- but of course, I always identify most with the characters who are scared of things.

( Honoroit tried to keep the trembling from his voice; he had to be stronger one, always. )

Title: Combustion, Ignition
Fandom: Final Fantasy IV
Characters: Dr. Lugae/Rubicante, appearance by Golbez
Rating: Mature
Length: ~3.5k
Summary: Science abhors a mystery, and there was nothing more mysterious than the Archfiend of Fire.
Notes: I really wish I could take credit for this idea but I think it was written off someone else's prompt. It's just such a good thought, though, and I'm glad I got to run with it. Features some mad science flavored torture/violence, oblique sexual references, and a lot of worldbuilding.

( Of all things Lugae hated -- a long and storied list of things that encompassed, at times, all of heaven and earth and the nations of man in between... )

Title: Baptism
Fandom: Bloodborne
Characters: Adella/Arianna (noncon), lightly implied (consensual) female hunter/Arianna
Rating: Explicit
Length: ~4.4k words
Summary: Arianna cannot resist doing a good deed, and in Yharnam no good deed goes unpunished.
Notes: For Nonconathon 2019. This is a noncon fic where Arianna is the victim, and it's quite violent and also contains a lot of verbal humiliation and misogynist/slut-shaming insults. Also lots of blood (which has an intoxicating effect because this is Bloodborne), nonconsensual spanking, choking, and a fairly brief description of blood-drawing with a needle.

( She was rail-thin and quiet, but she watched everything like a hawk. In particular, she watched Arianna. )

Title: And the Devil Makes Three
Fandom: Final Fantasy XIV
Characters: Fray/female elezen Warrior of Light,
Rating: Explicit
Length: ~2.7k words
Summary: Going mad is tiring work, but the business of being a hero is more tiring still.
Notes: Written for Yuletide 2015, when Heavensward was the most recent expansion and FFXIV was still Yuletide-eligible. This doesn't match up with later info we got about Fray -- at the time I assumed Fray was some kind of entity that appeared to all dark knights and was never a specific real person, which turned to not quite be the case. The WoL in this fic is just one I made up for this story, though my own character appears briefly as a corpse, lol. Since she's a female elezen, so is Fray. Selfcest, with more angst than porn.

( Being renowned for one's heroism, she supposed, did have its perks from time to time. )
