Notes: AU, part seventeen of the Summer Chronicle. This is a first and ongoing draft; a list of known issues is being compiled here.

In the interest of not grinding to a halt, I did no research on bows whatsoever. One more thing to fix later. :P As planned, this should be the last Sanaki chapter for a while. It may take me a bit to make the shift, not that this chapter didn't take forever anyway...

A Favor for Renais

Day/Theme: May 21 - Home Is. Run. No. More.
Series: Fire Emblem 8
Character/Pairing: Eirika/Ephraim
Rating: T
Words: 1517
Warnings: the title. the pairing? Only it's not as evident as I thought it'd be.

Notes: originally for this week's drabble challenge, but it got away from me. I'm honestly not sure I even like writing Eirika. The twins are hard to relate to.

Burn Like the Sun
Author: Amber Michelle
Day/Theme: April 8 - lit like a burning city
Series: Fire Emblem 10 / Twelve Kingdoms
Character/Pairing: Sanaki, Marcia, Sephiran (Renki)
Rating: K
Words: 4456
Warnings: it's a cracktastic crossover with no redeeming value.
Notes: Late on purpose so I won't be lynched. I needed to write something stupid. Also, I don't know the names of Ren's cities or provinces, so I just made them up. I didn't do much research on 12K courts or such for this because I'm lazy and this is not an epic or particularly important.

Vocabulary:
Kirin - (quoted from Wikipedia) "The holy creature that is bound to and chooses the ruler of each kingdom. It resembles a white horned deer; black kirin are extremely rare and called Kokki. ... A kirin will only bow before his or her ruler. Kirin are named after the kingdom that they are bound to, with "ki" and "rin" used for male and female kirin, respectively."

( ...and a few more important terms. )

There's a complete list of terms, but the above should be enough.


( Sanaki didn't want to be queen - or maybe she did, and hid it so well she convinced herself otherwise. )

This is apparently a transition chapter.


( Another day passed before Sanaki set aside the endless flow of letters and petitions and decided to see Prince Daein. )

The Argument

Rating: T
Words: 8286
Warnings: exposition? I tried not to, I really did...

Notes: AU, part fourteen of the Summer Chronicle. This is a first and ongoing draft; a list of known issues is being compiled here.

There are changes I'm going to make to the first four chapters - eventually - that are referred to in this chapter as having already happened: the arrangement with Soren, for example. I'm sorry if it causes confusion, but since the beginning will eventually be changed anyway, there's no reason to leave myself with major editing decisions to make for this chapter when I already know what I want to do.

I'm making up more stuff about spirit charming that has absolutely no basis in canon, but is probably influenced by other stories I've read... somewhere. It's for later, something I may change - but the same applies to the whole story, I guess.

Notes: Inspired by both the theme for the 19th at 31_days and theme 29 of 30_breathtakes. It's actually very gen in spite of the inspiration, and not at all beautiful, really.

Warnings: so not gen. My conscience will prick me if I don't add that pairing tag just this once.

I started this fairly early, and finishing it took me all the way up to the last minute. I apologize for any clumsy or abrupt scene endings, and will try to fix those once the deadline is made.

I, er, also apologize for the length. :D


( By the closing of the trial on the second afternoon, Sanaki had heard enough about Culbert to last two lifetimes. )
