    Summary

    Martin is a blacksmith. A quiet man with rough hands and too much silence. He’s lived alone at the edge of town, counting strikes against the anvil, naming all his favourite tools.

    Then, a boy washes up on his doorstep during a tempest. Martin takes him in.

    The boy is beautiful. Barefoot. Unsettlingly kind. He listens to the forge fire like it’s singing. He's curious. Strange. Also, possibly a god.

    Martin does not have time for any of this, or for feelings, or the sudden all-consuming urge to be known. In fact, he tries very hard not to care, which works right up until the boy starts smiling at him like he hung the very cosmos, touching everything like it’s hallowed, and sleeping at the foot of his wingback like a stray cat. There’s tragic history Martin won’t talk about, a temple that won’t stay quiet, and a wish the boy doesn’t remember (until he does).

    Or,

    A god fell. A man named him.

    Summary

    Terry loves this town and he loves everyone in it. He wasn't always that way though, he sort of had no one before, and he wasn't ever considering himself a candidate for marriage, Ares could have anyone else that was more appropriate around his age that the overachiever wanted.

    Though when he and Ares finally start becoming a thing, more and more domestic bliss and husband - became real and less of a cruel joke in his mind. Parenthood was also never in his plans, sure he had 'looked after' Cecil and Martin, but parenthood? Being a father? This... was real.

    (Exploring some cut content that we never got that was planned DLC for Terry which I elaborate on WE WERE ROBBED.)

    Summary

    Through the haze of his sudden rut, all Martin can think is:

    How beautiful Ares is, how good he smells, how delicious he tastes, how warm he feels, how cute he sounds...

    Summary

    Ares had taken it for shyness at first.

    Their first time holding hands, their first kiss... During many of those pivotal moments, Martin had acted the same way. Flustered, pulling away, unsure of himself. But always came around pretty quickly.

    Summary

    Ari didn’t know which possibility was worse: that they had forgotten everyone who had ever been important to them, or that they might not have ever had friends like this at all.

    It's one of many questions that plagues Ari after they wake up on a strange spell circle in unfamiliar forest with a maybe-stranger's bag and no memories. But before they can even attempt to piece together what happened to them, Ari has to help a little girl find her missing mother.


    Ari is my nonbinary version of RF5's player character. This work is a prequel about how Ari settled into their new life in Rigbarth before the events of Who Remembers a God.

    Summary

    On the anniversary of the day Cecil last saw his parents, he's determined to mark the somber occasion by being there for Martin in whatever way his brother needs.

    But Martin's completely forgotten about it, and what's more, doesn't seem to particularly care when Cecil points it out. The ensuing argument results in revelations that turn Cecil's world on its head and leave him wondering if there's anyone in Rigbarth who he can put his faith in... or who is willing to put any faith in him.

    Faced with a now uncertain future, Cecil is forced to consider what it means not only to forgive others, but to ask for forgiveness from those he's hurt as well, and to evaluate what his goals and motivations in life truly are.

    Summary

    His eyes traced the image. A tool used in ancient fertility rituals. Made of bronze, most likely. Hmm. Sure, some corrosion resistance, but this specific build was a bit flimsy. Wouldn’t last. He supposed it wasn’t used very often, but he liked making tools that he knew would last.

    Summary

    Alice was a girl with amnesia thrown into Rigbarth’s problems the moment she stepped foot into town; not that she minded. She was the type of person to reach out a helping hand whether explicitly asked or not. Often called reckless and self-sacrificing, she became a valued member of Rigbarth’s community seemingly overnight. The “ace ranger” everyone looked up to was buckling under the expectations.

    Cecil was well, Cecil. One of the many villagers in Rigbarth, but he was possibly Alice’s greatest admirer. He was trusting to a fault, naïve, and too nice for his own good. Naturally, the two got along quickly, but Alice’s own feelings seemed to be getting in the way of her job.

    *The plot follows the game (sorta) but it's more Cecil-focused. I included actual game and town events but also I added my own little original parts. I hope you like it.*
    P.S. Don't go to reddit if you are a Cecil fan. I write out of spite.

    Summary

    "Older brothers don't work overtime to buy you a birthday present! They make promises to return, then abandon you at a downtown market! They let you trudge home alone in a four hour rainstorm!"

    What the hell? Martin felt his grip loosen and then Ryker was successfully pushing him to the ground. Ryker's hands were now around Martin's wrists, keeping him pinned, tears falling from his face and down on to Martin's.

    "They don't make or buy you a new coat when you say you're cold! They tell you stop being a spoiled brat! They don't tell you "be safe" they say "good riddance and don't come back" when you leave!"
