The Unwanted Realm-Walker by BedtimeGiraffe
Fandoms: Blades of Light and Shadow (Visual Novel)

Summary
What if things had gone differently during the Dreadlord's resurrection? What if it wasn't the Hero of Morella, but the traitor prince who became a realm-walker?
-
Believe it or not, this is almost an odd kind of ‘fix it.’ I toyed with the idea of what it would be like if someone else became the realm-walker and came to the conclusion that the one who would make the most difference was Aerin. Any other member of the party gets taken, the others still work themselves into the ground to save them, maybe keeping it together a little better because MC is still around to take the lead/emotional damage. But Aerin? Well, life goes on.Series

Summary
We deserve more Kade content, so why not imagine a little end of Book 2 diamond scene?
-
Staring up at the ceiling, annoying him just a little, you let yourself feel like a kid again. Let knowledge of the brutally powerful Ash Empress drip out of your head as you start to grin at nothing. Tonight, for just a little while, you can spend time with your brother. “Tell me a story.” -

Summary
Mal told MC that they slept through the worst year of everyone's lives. And he's right. So what right to they have to try and force themselves back into it?
-
Mal said he’d changed. And that the difference is that he looks out for other people now. But that’s not really it. He risked his life to save all of you the second time you met. The difference is that you proved, once and for all, that he was right. He can’t rely on anyone else. Even you.- Language:

Summary
The incredibly distressing ways things can go wrong in the penultimate chapter sparked my long dormant desire to write fanfic for public consumption. So here they are!
What happens when MC's love is wounded badly enough to forget them? Six little fics, each featuring one LI and the MC I have specifically tailored for them because that's how I roll.
Hugely inspired by Bakshi’s response to MC losing their memory (of Kade in my playthrough)- "You do not need the details. The feelings remain."

Summary
I desperately want a LI to comfort your character about the fact that they keep almost dying. (Shoutout to Imtura for briefly comforting MC about the upcoming life-or-death battle, but I want more.) Relationships are a 2-way street! So here’s a little rewrite of the beginning of Aerin’s pre-battle diamond scene.
---
Aerin’s eyes tighten with concern, though he covers it passably well. “Telling me you’ve been in incredible danger is hardly the way to get me to leave. And I did not come all this way to back out now.”
You suddenly feel desperate as the fear you’ve struggled to keep at bay forces itself to the front of your mind. “…Aren’t you scared?” -

Summary
Han is determined to enter an actual relationship with Zhao after they had a kiss that did not go... exactly as planned.
-
Zhao is one of the most captivating men Joon-gi has ever met; he can’t stop feeling like he'd do anything to make Zhao look at him the same way. And Joon-gi spent months shoving these feelings down like so many others. But the embarrassing display that night left him with no choice. It’s time to face the reality that he really likes Zhao. A lot. -

Apparently ‘Blades polycule’ is my damn activation phrase. (Thank you/curse you to still-a-morosexual-help on Tumblr)

You spend the night with Aerin. In the morning, he confesses his plan to leave.
I love angst, but we deserve a sweet goodbye. As a treat.

Legends Never Die by BedtimeGiraffe
Fandoms: 龍が如く | Ryuu ga Gotoku | Yakuza (Video Games)

Summary
RGG opened the floodgates by having so many formerly dead characters in Ijincho. And I say, go all in! No one is dead! Here’s my side quest style pitch of my top choices of characters to pop back in. I want to believe. Let us have this.
-
Ichiban wakes up in the mood for a side quest kind of day. No massive conspiracy to unravel anymore, thank goodness. Just a chance to explore and help some strangers out. Living the hero dream under the underwhelming Ijincho sun. -
The Patron Gremlin of Four Shine by BedtimeGiraffe

Summary
In RGGO, Majima comes around to Four Shine to continue being a pest/looking out for Yuki. Here it is expanded somewhat and brought to its inevitable conclusion. Because Majima never really gets to leave the Tojo Clan behind.
-
Majima looks like a discount Christmas-themed stripper. Much as he disagreed with Yuki’s assessment, she’s not budging on that. Yuki has graciously decided to let it slide, but only because it’s better than snakeskin and visible tattoos. -
The Hitman and the Clerk by BedtimeGiraffe

Summary
The second entry in my ‘you can ship anyone in Y7’ argument. Chapter 1 is Joon-gi’s perspective, chapter 2 is Eri’s perspective (and where it gets spicy).
--
Eri really thought she knew who she was attracted to. Nice guys. Gentle guys. With regular business jobs and maybe some pets and houseplants in their sunny apartments. But… it turns out there’s a reason no one’s ever really fit quite right. Eri hasn’t even had her heart broken yet! Probably because she never even considered going out with someone who was capable of murder. -
Jealous of the Dead Man by BedtimeGiraffe
Fandoms: 龍が如く | Ryuu ga Gotoku | Yakuza (Video Games)
16 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
My take on Joon-gi/Yeonsu’s escape to the Goemijul- from word of the former Han Joon-gi’s death to him being so depressed he’s kind of a dick to Seong-hui.
-
And Yeonsu feels nothing, except perhaps jealousy. That he’s been left behind. That he has so completely failed his purpose. Yeonsu still feels like he’s in a dream, looking at his body from the outside. But he knows that logically, he has to deal with the cruelty of trying to survive alone. -
Kiryu's Terrible Ideas by BedtimeGiraffe
Fandoms: 龍が如く | Ryuu ga Gotoku | Yakuza (Video Games)
01 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
Three quick scenes from Tachibana's perspective as he slowly realizes Kiryu is being completely honest about what a soft little marshmallow he is inside.
-
There’s a gravitational pull to the way Kiryu keeps looking into his eyes, like he isn’t looking at Li Hua’s abilities or wealth or connection, but him. Li Hua can’t help leaning in, pulling himself back only at the last second with a start before he goes off the edge. There’s an undeniable appeal to maybe having someone he can actually trust, without a backup plan to keep them in line if needed. …But it is an impossible, terrible idea. -
It's Not My Fault by BedtimeGiraffe

Summary
After Kiryu returns to Okinawa following the events of Yakuza 4, it takes several months for him to return Majima’s calls. Between conflicting goals and growing frustrations, it isn’t the reunion either would have hoped for.
-
“I’m sorry we haven’t talked in a while.”
“The kids must be runnin’ ya ragged! Maybe we finally found yer weakness.”
“I’m doing my best. I planned to call you every weekend, but…”
“It’s been 4 months, Kiryu-chan. Startin’ to wonder if ya got swallowed by a shark or some shit.”
“Right, I know. Sorry, Goro.” -
All Kiryu's Fault by BedtimeGiraffe
Fandoms: 龍が如く | Ryuu ga Gotoku | Yakuza (Video Games)
18 Mar 2023
Tags
Summary
A look at Nishiki’s (definitely not guilty) response to Reina’s death, including a look back at how they met.
-
Just a few days with Kiryu and she came at him, raised voice and tears in her eyes, accusing him of being wrong. Saying that she had been wrong to help him. Kiryu’s name never left her lips in that tense conversation where he tried to intimidate her, then charm her until she pulled the trigger and he did too. But her note had Kiryu’s name all over it. He left her last message behind. So Kiryu would know it was his fault the floors of their favorite bar were slicked with blood. -
Idol's Pen, Lost and Found by BedtimeGiraffe

Summary
We deserve a scene of Haruka and Majima talking after the events of Y5, which very much built up to it! Here is my take on what that might look like.
-
Majima-san runs a slow, calculating eye over the skittish officers around them, before shifting his gaze back to Haruka. “Alright, kid.” He tilts his head down the hallway and Haruka follows him into a nearby courtyard. They get more than a few looks of concern on the walk. She briefly remembers that she’s still in her idol uniform, covered in bows and shiny buttons while following a man whose every feature is tailored to intimidate and confuse. It’s easy to forget that yakuza are supposed to be scary when the strongest and scariest of them all has been holding your hand in crowds and burning your breakfast on weekends for the past 7 years. -

Summary
Ever make an offhanded comment to your husband and all of a sudden you’re writing your first sexy fanfic, featuring two characters no one is shipping?
---
Seong-hui is being everything she’s ever been told not to be- too cold, too serious, too intimidating. But Adachi’s still here, buying her drinks on a tab she knows for a fact hasn’t been paid in 5 weeks and belting Machine Gun Kiss in her direction like she’s any other girl. -

Summary
A fic inspired by the (canon?) RGGO story of how Yayoi Dojima, the baddest bitch in Y2, became Fifth Acting Chairman.
-
"Kashiwagi, what did you want to tell me?”
“I’ll be direct. I would like to ask Daigo to be the Fifth Acting Chairman.”
For the second time tonight, Yayoi stumbles over her own expectations and is forced to pause. Kashiwagi has never been one to tell jokes. And he certainly wouldn’t start with this. But this can’t be a sincere suggestion.Series
