Sorey had been back for over a year now, but in some ways he still felt distant, too far beyond her reach to help or ability to understand. [Alisha/Sorey]

"It's always been you." [Alisha/Sorey]

Sweets are so good, especially after a battle! Enjoy this collection of assorted oneshots about a Shepherd and his faithful water seraph.

Sorey is finally awake after six hundred years. He's ready to see what all in the world. But there's corruption throughout the church despite the land finally being pure. Without his Shepherd powers, he takes off for another journey. Rated T for language and violence.

The role of Shepherd has brought on a lot of firsts, but this is the last kind of burden Sorey would have expected. [Sorey/Alisha, slight canon AU]

Alisha has consented to a political marriage in the interest of peace. Like any young woman, she's nervous - and like any good friend, Sorey's determined to help ease her mind. Somehow. [Sorey/Alisha, slight canon AU.]

S'il y avait bien une chose qui échappait à Sorey, c'était la façon dont son ami d'enfance campait sur ses positions sur certains sujets sans se justifier. Spécifiquement lorsque ceux-ci le concernaient, de près comme de loin… [Lazulie]

This ruin had a beautiful blue glow to it, water flooding ankle high in the area. It was cracking, falling apart, but it still held together after who knows how many years. (Spoilers for the ending of Tales of Zestiria!)

—and stupidest of all, perhaps, was that she wouldn't change her actions if she could. She owed him the effort of trying, no matter what it cost her. She would rather die his friend than live forever knowing she'd turned her back on him. [Alisha/Sorey. Canon AU, done for the prompt "Stay with me" in the TalesWhumpWeek challenge on tumblr.]

They're the qualities she's come to respect and admire the most about him, the one whom she can't—and never wants to—imagine herself living without. [Sorey, Alisha. Slight canon AU.]

"Good grief. You're this riled up about a naked statue, I wonder how you'd react to a real mantle of history." Mischief gleams across Edna's eyes and their casual discussion about the attractions toward a mantle of history is twisted for the sake of teasing Mikleo, "Take off your shirt, Sorey."

It had only been a matter of time before Mikleo and Sorey managed to expand their dream of exploration to wider horizons. (Sorey/Mikleo)

Maotelus shows Michael his collection of banned books, and in the progress, winds up provoking him into a years-long project to create a comprehensive atlas of the world. (You know how writers get.)

Rose and company help Alisha protect a vital shipping lane from attack by a rampaging drake. "Luckily" for them, Rolance has sent their own Shepherd to help. (Or, "The One Where Everyone Involved Learns a Lesson in Patience and Self-Control, and Also How Not to Stab People.")

In which Zenrus patiently tries to explain to a pouty toddler seraph the basic human need for sleep.

In which a cunning villain turns the Gentle Shepherd into a Japanese cartoon cat mascot. (Sorey/Mikleo)

Sorey didn't expect to be wake up like this. Magilou has that effect on people.

Before he died, Mayvin got to see his mother again.

"Earth malakhim," Eizen had once said, "have memories as strong as mountains. Where the winds of time chip away at and rob humans and malakhim alike of their memories, we're blessed with the ability to remember everything. No matter how much time has passed." Written for the Eternal Dream zine in 2018. This is the full, uncut version.

After Sorey notices Zaveid has a weird habit of going out late at night, he decides to check on his newest companion.

One day, I wake and find myself in the world of Tales of Zestiria. I don't know how I got there, but I just want to go home. Too bad for me, that's never easy in these kinds of stories. At least I can make things right... hopefully. [Self Insert ; Semi-AU]

Life can be hard. And sometimes we give up. Sometimes we just need to heal. And more often than not our favorite characters can help us do just that. After all, maybe what we need is hope for the future...and a slight bit of magic too.

Alisha is finally beginning her doctoral program in theology. But it's more intimidating than she realized. Intense professors. Cheerful friends. And a cute redhead with way too many tattoos. All that reading and writing is going to be the least of her troubles.

The young apprentice onmyōji Mikleo found himself the new owner of his late mother's strange book, Ephēmerís. Together with Sorey the ōkami - a white wolf spirit who had taken an interest in Mikleo since their encounter in the forest - the two began to form an unlikely friendship as they worked to unravel the mystery and hidden power of Muse's book. Folklore/Japanese Mythology AU.

The awareness of his absence would still stuck her in the most unexpected moments, but she wasn't gonna grieve and let his death stop her life. [Dezel\Rose]
