If time waits for no half-elf, be they an ancient hero with a new purpose or a scholar with new passions, then it will not stay to treat their wounds: acceptance is the only cure. A tale of healing in thirteen parts. XIII – "To Yuan, the same sense of belonging that might be comforting to most others feels suffocating even to imagine. In his life, just one other is enough."

The title of "hero" may always follow them, but it's the more personal victories by which they will define themselves. Far from the tortured convict and jaded scholar of years past, a man and woman have begun their own story anew, and it's time for him to save the day in another capacity. (Raine/Regal headcanon)

Like nomads they both were. Raine knew that to stay in one place too long - and to believe in another - was to invite suspicion. Besides, only Genis was her family, and nobody else.

What if some didn't survive the final battle? What if some were never even part of the group? Due to an odd accident, Regal Bryant finds himself thrown into a sick and twisted mirror image of the reunited world in which all of the peace and optimism he knows is but a laughable dream. He must understand this What-If World and enlist the help of Raine's jaded counterpart to get home.

Genis is tired of Raine's bossier-than-usual attitude and so he enlists the help of a certain assassin to find out what's eating her. As it turns out, he isn't the only one whose limits are tested by the brilliant, bossy scholar.

An AU setting for a rather strange pairing, Raine and Kratos, set in modern times, with no Cruxis, or Angels. Kratos is normal. With guest appearance by other Tale characters. "His son needed a tutor, that's what she was, nothing more, nothing less. If only everyone would stop giving him the side eye."

In which we find out the nature of Raine's adulthood. Fluff.

Mithos decides to change his plans a little...
