The easiest way to get the gist of things is to read chapters 27 to 41 of The Healer and the Vagabond, a reframing of Serena and Veronica's lives in Arboria and Erik's side story.

Fics that may or may not get posted in the future arranged by decreasing likelihood:
Metaly
• Random vignettes centered around the main characters and a few specific side characters showing the intricacies of the magic system in action.
Metabble
• Depending on how many ideas I have left after ████████████, a sequel story featuring Veronica and Mia.
• Dedicated smut between Erik and Serena, and possibly a mystery wlw pairing where the latter is involved.
MetalKing
• A thematic extension AU of an AU diving into why Eleven's silent protagonist shtick is left as the jumbled videogamey contradiction it is while also explaining a lot of Act III's shenanigans. Very likely that this would be the final thing written if it happens at all, since this is leaning into things I'd like to explore in a completely original story.- Stats:

Summary
“When Veronica and I were children, we had a little episode involving them… I had ventured into the forests surrounding Arboria on my own; and when she got into danger trying to find me, we found ourselves under the protection of an oddly chivalrous band of monsters. I think the excitement of everything gave me the opportunity to cast my first healing spell as well…”
A retelling of the voice drama 愛のこもれび (Ai no Komorebi, officially translated as "Light Through the Leaves of Love")—mostly focused on expanding upon most of Arboria to create a detailed depiction of Serena and Veronica's childhood life, but with a few extra surprises for the little episode itself.

Summary
Over a fateful journey, a regretful thief and a modest spellcaster come together, learning the extent of the love that shapes and surrounds them.
A retelling of DQXI's story based around deepening the motivations of Serenerik and a few other main characters, adding a whole bunch of new ones into the mix, elaborating on the main party's mundane interactions a little, and expanding upon Erdrea—plus integrating some of the more prominent mechanics into the narrative for the fun of it. Original plot events gradually recede into the background for a slice of life romance before becoming something else entirely; and given the revamped lore there'll be disjointed spoilers for the whole game.
