    Summary

    When the worlds of Keves and Agnus began to split apart once more upon Z’s defeat, they each intended to return to their prior states. But after a sudden freeze in each, a lingering voice is forced to restore a backup of the worlds… so far back that the man who created them yet lived.

    Though all should return to normal if the events of each play out identically, the backup is found to be corrupted. The voice finds no major world-threatening issues and proceeds anyway, but perhaps that was a poor choice of words.

    As Noah wakes up in Colony 9, with the Sword of the End by his bedside, and Mio wakes up in Torigoth, only a few changes have occurred to the two worlds in the grand scheme of things. But though relatively few in number to the thousands of lives in each world, each life that persisted from the endless now was anything but unimportant.

    After all, two very important journeys were about to begin.

    *A for-fun post-ending rerun of the plots of Xenoblade 1 and 2 with Xenoblade 3's characters present, and new plot connections along the way.*

    Summary

    There are some questions which didn't get answered in the game. Such as: "What was everyone else up to whilst Ouroboros spent that long month in Agnus Castle?" Or, "What inspired Taion to call his Blade 'Mondo'?" Or, "How exactly did Ethel and Cammuravi's rivalry begin?" Or, "What happened the first time Taion and Eunie's Interlink cancelled out whilst they were in midair?" Or, "Why did Moebius allow the Nopon Archsage to set up shop in Aionios?" ("Meh! 'Allow', he says.")

    This is one author's attempt at providing some answers to these questions, and many more you might never have thought to ask. (Like, "What if Nia had a fondness for mimicking the Zekenator when she thought no one was watching?")

    (A series of [narratively] canon-compliant drabbles, ficlets, and short stories set in the universe of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.) [Spoilers abound for those who haven't played the game. Which you should.]

    [Chapter 49 update: In which we look at the work of the Survey Branch during a time where the future was redeemed...but from their perspective, it just added to their workload.]

    Summary

    If Origin faltered in the last moments before it recreated the two worlds, perhaps it would restore them at some earlier point. Perhaps Ouroboros would find themselves flung into the past, where they would have to struggle against the great conflicts that would eventually create Aionios. In such a case, they would certainly end up in their home universes, even as time rewound... but not this time. As Mio wakes up amidst Mechon wreckage, while Noah stalks the inhospitable Mor Ardain, the far-flung heroes will need to figure out where to even start. But hey, maybe it won't be all bad.

    If Where We Don't Belong is an examination of Xenoblade 3 characters in the stories of their home universes, consider Off By One the exact opposite - a fun alternative story where Origin somehow went even more wrong than the original story. Currently a one-shot.

    Summary

    When Tora was building Origin he was just as afraid of failure as everyone else. So he built another function into the machine. If the worst were to happen anyone in contact with Origin would be sent to the past. Resetting Origin was not supposed to activate this feature, and yet Noah and the others found themselves in the past, not that they’re aware that it’s the past at all.

    Scattered across the world, and unknowingly wreaking havoc on the timeline. That would be bad enough, but what’s with all this fog?

    Inspired by ‘Where we don’t belong’ by Dewitlater. If you like what you see here. I HIGHLY suggest checking that fic out as well.

    Summary

    Summary

    Eunie finds her mother.

    Some people wondered before the game came out if Eunie was Melia's daughter. There isn't even the slightest implication in the game that this might be true... but I'm going with it anyway, because it's more fun like this. I had a surprising amount of fun finding ways to justify Eunie being Eunie despite being Melia's daughter.

    Everyone is related, and all those obscure theories about characters being related are true (except for the Dirk one, because other people are already doing that one better).

    NOTE: This work has split into a series.

    Summary

    It doesn’t feel right, Eunie thinks, to be jealous of a dead girl.

    But, recently, it’s been hard not to be. Every time she and Taion Interlink, she sees her. She’s holding an image of Saffronia blossoms, she’s tilting her head as she giggles, she’s shoving Taion back into a river so that he will live when she dies.

    Eunie can feel Taion’s grief in those moments. It’s as if, the moment Nimue pushed him, his heart was ripped out of his chest.

    —emotions are shared when interlinking and eunie can't help what she feels.

    Summary

    There's an idea floating around on the Internet that's somewhat bizarre; it's a little theory about Blackblaze Dirk being the son of Rex and Mythra.

    This is one author's attempt at making the idea somewhat feasible.

    [Chapter 26 update: Dirk ponders the nature of the world with KOS-MOS, Astelle, Crys, and Miyabi; there's also a sense of understanding achieved with one Shania Reid.]

    Summary

    Stories that take place after the end of the game in one version of a post-canon rejoined universe. Loosely shared continuity. Fics written before Future Redeemed are obviously non-canon in places. I will incorporate FR elements in later stories as relevant.

    The main emphasis is characters grappling with their memories of their time on Aionis, and what it means for their current selves.

    Summary

    Taion blinks at him, then decides to just ignore this statement completely, which, fair. Zeke opens his mouth to reply something heroic and then -

    Something happens.

    Or rather, something doesn’t happen.

    All of the something (whether or not it happened) occurs in the space of a second. If Zeke wasn’t a Blade Eater with unusual sensitivity to ether, he probably wouldn’t have noticed. Even so, it’s hard to describe. It’s like - a momentary surge in the air around him that’s gone as soon as it appeared. Leaving him with the fainest sense of deja vu. Like he’s been here before. Or as if he’s forgotten something important.

    Summary

    Joran knows his friends are just trying to protect him… to spare him from a truth that is mostly ugly and will only hurt him… but he’s had enough.

    He needs to *know.*

    He needs to be a complete person, instead of a shadow cowering from the light.

    And to do that... he needs to meet the man who became D.

    Summary

    XC3 stories of varying length, taking place during the events of the game. Sometimes canon compliant and sometimes not. They don't share continuity but my personal takes on these characters will likely be consistent from one to the other.
