Entry for the ficwip Valentine's Day challenge on Twitter, in which Machias tries something new and Emma is a poor, poor liar.

The blade is a weapon that can take lives. Swords cross, sparks fly. Exotic strength is forged between the wielder and the weapon commanded to extinguish souls, slay dragons, demons and even - change the course of an empire. A halfling boy's untamed power torquates into the first form of Eight Leaves One Blade. A noble girl finds titanic strength in the Arseid arsenal.

The architects of the Jormungandr Project are accelerating their plans. The curse that infects Erebonia is running rampant. The situation is dire. In order to fight back, the heroes of Class VII first need to save one of their own. Sara Valestein needs to save him most of all. Rewrite of "Fragments – A Shattered Blade" of CSIV (Rean x Sara).

A collection of short stories on Rean and Alisa's relationship that take place after the final boss fight in Trails of Cold Steel IV. (Once named Vignettes of Cold Steel, read 1st author note for explanation). Will ideally be updated periodically.

Taking place during the events of CSIII's finale with flashbacks.

Technology can bring many changes good or bad once widespread. Unfortunately, some were best kept away from the faint of heart. The SSS, however were not aware and thus were left flatfooted when a new Orbalnet trend emerged featuring Crossbell's beloved mascot. Dealing with terrorists was honestly easier. Tio is going to need brain bleach.

A fluff vignette story of Giliath Osborne coming back home to see his wife and his newborn son before his happy life ended tragically.

Estelle and Joshua find themselves in Ymir with a request from Rean Schwarzer. A lighthearted winter adventure ensues. Written for the 2021 Kiseki Winter Holidays Exchange.

A collection of short stories on Rean and Fie's relationship that take place after the final boss fight in Trails of Cold Steel IV. (once part of Vignettes of Cold Steel, since then has been separated). Will ideally be updated periodically.

Post-CSIV and Reverie. Rean Schwarzer and Alisa Reinford both have tête-à-tête between each other after the events of the Great Twilight. One-shot. Rean x Alisa.

Trails of Cold Steel 1 AU. An older and more experienced Class VII meet under the auspices of a more demanding and militarized Thors. Prince Olivert being even better at political machinations, a Third Way movement that becomes legitimately powerful. But with Osborne and Ourobouros around, it will only result in the antagonists taking out the big guns earlier. (Ch1 edited.)

If Rean's wish for the holidays would come true, it would be for him to have a moment with a certain bracer and tell her about his feelings. Luckily for him, his partner-in-crime has his back. A plan for him to man up and have his sweet moment with Fie. And it involved a simple mistletoe.

CSIV Spoiler. Juna rests her arms against the windowsill and wondered what is happening to her family back in Crossbell.

She had thought herself unworthy of living, or happiness after what she had done. Thankfully Rean, who is no stranger to such feelings himself wasn't about to let Claire wallow in such thoughts. A late night visit one winter night will be a welcome experience as Chevalier and Maiden assuage each other of such dreadful thoughts, and long held feelings are finally made clear.

The Herschel family arrived in Ymir ready to spend the winter holiday at the Phoenix Wings. Although being the ever curious child that she was, Towa decided to instead wander around the town in hopes of finding something fun to do.

Indulged in a little writing exercise courtesy of Twitter, in which four pairs come across the age old maxim that in wine, there is truth. (ReanxAlisa, MachiasxEmma, KurtxJuna, AshxMusse)

Left with no memories not even a name, only a sword and a splitting headache, that precedes a terrible voice that only says "Prepare", left with no explanation all she can do is fight preparing for some unknown reason. Writing this because got the idea for it, rated M just to be safe, Enjoy! or don't I'm not you.

Written for the 2021 Kiseki Winter Holiday Challenge on AO3, in which Rean learns that Alisa's childhood in Roer left her deprived of certain winter pastimes and Alisa learns the true meaning of 'better late than never'.

They say the best things in life are those that you have to wait for. After so long, Alfin could admit there is some truth to that. Now, here after wedding to the two most important people to her life, she was determined to make the most out of it to realize a long held fantasy involving her and a certain pair of siblings. Reaan x Elise x Alfin Threesome Lemon.

A hero that made a sacrifice is granted a chance to live and avoid his terrible fate. But is he ready to see what has happened in a years time?

This is a series of short, one-shot chapters, telling the untold stories of everyone's favorite little Jaeger, Fie Claussell. Will only feature stories between CS1 - CS4. I have not played Reverie or Kuro yet.

They say you never stop learning and that some students can go on to surpass their teachers. Juna wasn't sure if she had quite surpassed hers yet, but a small private getaway with her former instructor-turned-lover means she'll have the chance to give him a valuable lesson which will ensure he won't think of her as just a student anymore. ONE-SHOT LEMON, POST-COLD STEEL IV.

Five years had passed since the sacrifice of the three heroes who saved the world from an ancient curse. Life seems to go on as normal, yet the pain and grief could not be healed that easily. But it was time for a certain promise to be fulfilled. A promise to come back to the people they cherish. (Finale of "I Don't Want To Forget")

How did drinking in a bar turn to playing spin the bottle and then doing the pocky game with his crush? That was literally what Rean thought, and he blames Crow for it.
