This story has let go of the hands of god, and walks on its own. Humans forge their own paths and connections, fighting their own demons, and creating their own fate. Trigger warnings: Rape, suicide, gore, etc.

Eight souls brought together by varying goals and ambitions embark on a journey across the land to fulfill separate missions, finding themselves bound by something far stronger than they ever could have anticipated. (Full game novelization of Octopath Traveler. Updated on Thursdays.)

Cyrus throws off the plot of his third chapter by going on a huge tangent. One shot, slight crack.

Ah, so you wish to hear another tale? The one before did not satisfy you? Of course not, you are an inquisitive one, after all. Well, there are more tales to tell about the Octopath Travelers, before their journey ended, before they defeated the darkness that plagued Orsterra. An adventure? Not as much as one would think, but a tale of their bonds. It all starts in a cold tavern...

What happens if there was not one, but TWO copies of a certain book and Cyrus had one before traveling? A silly AU involving a man trying to find ethical uses for gruesome forbidden knowledge. Rated T for blood magic.

Primrose assigns code names to her fellow travelers. Short crack fic, based on a meme. One shot.

He was very good at healing physical wounds, but he was not well versed in healing emotional ones. But that would not stop him from trying, for her sake.

Olberic wanders into Everhold shortly after losing his kingdom and stops by the theater on a whim. The play he crashes ends up making him feel worse than ever. One shot, takes place not long after the fall of Hornburg.

In which Therese decides to go about securing her chance with Professor Albright in a different way. WARNING: Mature Themes Abound!

Two gambling addicts have a bad day at the arena at Victors Hollow. Takes place before the events of the game.

The lack of character interaction in this game is criminal, so I thought it would be fun to make my own (working from the perspective of starting with Primrose because why would you pick anyone else?). This is written with the reader having already played the game in mind

Therese works up the courage to ask Cyrus for help, subtly altering the course of his journey. An AU version of Cyrus's tale examining what would logically change and what would stay relatively similar.

H'aanit and Olberic slowly realize that they have feelings for each other. A very long H'aanit/Olberic one shot in which they are both Very Big Dorks. Spans most of the events of the game.

Just a silly little haiku about Olberic's title.

A short poem poking fun at Cyrus's oblivious nature.

In which Cyrus asks Olberic for help getting ready in the morning. Or: just a silly little excuse to write out some headcanons for the two.

Therese plays the classic old flower game to see if she has any chance of winning over her dear professor. One shot, slight crack.

In which Olberic and Cyrus have very different reactions to memes. Short crack fic.

Redeye regains clarity at what is simultaneously the best and worst possible time. Spoilers for the end of H'aanit's Chapter 4.

In which Ophilia starts to realize that Alfyn fits all her requirements for the perfect guy. Or: a ridiculously fluffy Alfilia one shot. Takes place towards the end of everyone's fourth chapters.

5 Years after the last fight against Galdera: Orsterra is in peace. But the peace is broken as armies of monsters attac one town after another. After one village is been wiped out, a surviver of this village finds refuge in Cobbleston, where Olberic lifes. He saves her from the attacking monsters and helpes to recover her wounds and maybe more than that...

It was supposed to be an easy battle, but one moment of carelessness can quickly change things. [One-Shot]

Where do you go after letting your life spiral out of control? Russell stumbles upon an answer to this question in Stonegard. One shot, takes place mostly after the events of the game.

Following his journey to help people across Orsterra, Alfyn returns home to Clearbrook to check in on everyone. Outside of town, he runs into the one person he'd been longing for the most. Rated S for Severe Sap, and T for Therion.

It's at the small bustling town of Sunshade where their paths first intertwine. A dancer, one forever haunted by the harsh cruelties of the world. And an apothecary, one who shines brightly in the face of those same cruelties. Their chosen paths will take them to places and sights unlike any other, but at least they'll be walking side by side during this grand adventure.
