( Expulsion was the best thing to happen to Lezard. )

This is a timeline of stories, ficbits, and snips related to Judas and Raeger, original characters for the now-defunct interactive fiction list Illusion of Memory. It's based on Valkyrie Profile, but we deviate so far from the original storyline I wonder if we even deserve to say that anymore. :P This is for my reference and kytha's.

In order according to the story timeline - more or less. With some of these it doesn't actually matter.



IN THE BEGINNING (i.e. official posts)

• 02/2003 - Post 01: Everlasting (Judas introduction)


• 11/2003 - Post 02: Way of the Lost


• 07/2004 - Post 03: Ashes and Emptiness

Unofficial arc "The Road Trip From Hell"

• 06/2004: Unholy Ground


• 07/2005: Treasure Hunter


• 10/2005: Ruby, Lapis, and Gold


• 06/2004: The Fall of Egypt

( And the rest! )

This doesn't include all of the AU stuff we've done. That's... yeah, best not to get into that.

Notes: these are getting steadily sloppier as November goes on. Or maybe it's just me.

Anyway, may as well post now, since it's done. I might even remember to put it up on 31_days when the 29th comes around.

My answers to the fic meme. I kept them short to make sure I finished everything. Pretty much all gen, with some slight romantic overtones; one-sided anything doesn't deserve the term 'pairing' in my opinion.
