Haven't beat FF7 Rebirth yet but I'm close to breaking 1000 hours in Stardew Valley so I'm going to do that tonight instead.

I wanted to get around to the writing and gpose prompts in my inbox but oops I took too long finishing my re-playthrough of ff7 remake and now ff7 rebirth is here 🙃 I'll try to knock out at least a couple this weekend, I can't spend every waking hour playing it, right? right...?

Chapters: 8/8 Fandom: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Rating: Explicit Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Rape/Non-Con Relationships: Original Character/Original Character Characters: Marche Radiuju, Montblanc, Original Characters Additional Tags: Kidnapping, Whump, Secrets, Rescue Missions, Self-Worth Issues, Eventual Romance, Eventual Smut, Eventual Happy Ending, Aged-Up Character(s), (bc when I wrote this I forgot how old the charas were), Blood and Violence Series: Part 1 of Discarded Hope Summary:

When a rival clan is paid to bring Marche and Clan Ragnarok down, the altruistic leader is stolen away to Clan Uroborus’ home base in Jagd Helje. Olgan, Ragnarok’s main healer, is outed as a former member of Uroborus, and after he is accused of betraying Ragnarok, he leaves on his own to save Marche. Kemal, Ragnarok’s brash monk, chases after Olgan, angry that the young mage left to save Marche on his own, as well as fearful for his safety.

But Olgan has more secrets in his past than Clan Ragnarok is aware of, and his history with his former Clan’s leader might be his, and Marche’s, downfall…

And that's a wrap for this Fic-o-Doom(TM)! Thanks for reading with me! :D

(There's gonna be a side story later in the weekend, so please look forward to it!)

To be honest, I could've just posted the whole thing in one drop since it was completed years ago, but wanted to read through it myself and write commentary on each chapter. It was fun, and actually made me love this "little" story even more! I didn't cringe over the writing as much as I thought I would, though it does have a very rushed and rough draft feel to it (I caught the fact I used clichéd descriptions in one spot, though! "Blue ORBS!" Ahahaha! *facepalm*)

I'm probably gonna do a re-write eventually. But I think I'll start drafting other bits to this verse. I want to go into how I think the Grimore actually works, and it'll break off of the game into full angsty AU; and I wanna write about Kemal, Matius, and Gavvar/Lilila backstories. And the how/why of Olgan (which will also force me to write about other OCs, and I'm both nervous and excited about, bc they're from FF7, FF9, and Suikoden; and while they live in my head rent free, it's been a long while since I've finished either game and my memory is spotty on their plots, and fitting them into a coherent story is gonna be a headache.)

(Another part of me wants to file all the serial numbers off and see if I can write a coherent *book* out of these all these ideas and OCs...we'll see.)
