Summary
So I wait for the Tiger to stick his tongue out and drop your birthday-card-date-invitation onto my lap. But, instead, he slowly opens his eyes and creases his brow at me, and the corners of his smile sink.
I ask him, “What’s wrong?”
And—
That’s when I see it. The bracelet. The chrysanthemum knot.
Your bracelet.
The Tiger had been carrying it between his teeth this whole time. He nudges my arm with his head, so I put a hand under his mouth. Then he drops your bracelet into my palm.
The blue and purple woven ropes. The chrysanthemum knot in the middle of it all. It feels warm and light.
And, I don’t know. You don’t even know, Jinu.
Didn’t you realize that this was never meant for me?
After the Idol Awards, all that remains of the Saja Boys are old posters, soda cans, and hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, whose bodies are now covered in beautiful patterns.
And all that remains of Rumi and Jinu is their last song.
The song at the edge of her dreams threatens to fade away. Rumi picks up a bipa and gets to work.
Mira and Zoey have to remind her that she’s not alone anymore.
(Rumi grieves for Jinu and attempts to record “Free”.)

Summary
As the car approaches her district, Mira’s rehearsing her words. She’ll button up right. She’ll keep her glasses straight. She’ll check for any creases on the five envelopes inside her bag. She’ll check her GED too, that it has no tears. That it has her name on it. On the road with the clouds getting thicker, there’s no time for her to open each envelope and re-count the won inside.
Walking slowly so she won’t trample the flowers, Mira’s gonna climb up those steps for the first time in five years. She’s gonna open the door, and the first person she’ll see is her mother.
Hey, Mom, she’ll say.
Mira goes on a road trip without the girls. She's gonna visit her parents for the first time in five years. Meanwhile, Rumi and Zoey are planning something on the phone…

Summary
You know what I think? I think Dan was trying to bring me to the stall. The one with the shiny metal, where they appraise blades and daggers and earrings. Right before all of this, before he fell the second time, he galloped over to me with a book of ten million pages in his arms.
Immediately after Dan fell, I flipped the book open with a massive slam and cast ten million spells of healing on his head.
The book was a romance short story collection. I have it in my lap right now.
Dande and Rocinoll have their sights on a precious blade in the black market.

Summary
Please read the content warnings in the tags!
Three friends torn apart by a massacre. Two still live. One is gone forever.
The Warrior Milan and the Empress Alouette have left their burning hometown, blotting out the one they lost. Unable to look back, exacting revenge is all they have left.
But five months after that day, the Empress suddenly turns silent. As the group travels north, she still can’t speak. All she can look at is a white rose, a memento of the one they lost that day.
Once a proud pursuer of his heroic dreams, the Warrior Milan—an orphan, a scapegoat, and Alouette’s best friend—is the only one who can help her.
If he could only look back.
Frostbite is a story about finding closure when there’s none to be found.

Summary
In the living room, in our home dug halfway up the waterfall, Rocinoll raised an arm and said, “Alouette, can you hear me?” She said, “Raise your left hand if no. Raise your right hand if yes.”
You were lying on the table—the wooden one you and Amica made when we moved in five decades ago. You had a prayer service surrounding you. Amica, me, and a dozen medics right there with you. And you, you raised your right hand.
“Al,” Rocinoll called. She tensed up to smother her tears. She said, “Do you still want to fight?”
You, with your eyes shut forever, with the arteries of your heart splintering through your flesh, you, still holding on, you raised your right hand.
Coping with a death in the family. For Angel.

Summary
This is a collection of various Dragon Marked For Death short stories I created from 2019 and onward. Some are finished while others are unfinished. I created this collection to archive old work since I first played Dragon Marked For Death.
These stories can be read in any order, but they are ordered by approximate chronological order of my DMFD AU's timeline. I’ll update the collection accordingly as I find more excerpts. I hope that you will enjoy my personal explorations of the world of Remlia, and thank you for reading!

Summary
A series of Dragon Marked For Death novels narrated by each of the characters in my save file: the Warrior Milan, the Shinobi Dande, the Witch Rocinoll, the Bandit Hírondel (and the Oracle Gardenia), and the Empress Alouette.
The planned order of the stories is Frostbite, Poison, Paralysis, Confusion, and Burn.
In general, if you’re unfamiliar with DMFD, you can still read my stories because I wrote them for people who don’t know what DMFD is.

Summary
Her mother was gentle, wide-smiled, freckles scattered like constellations across her skin. In appearance, there were hardly any Korean traits; what gave her away, above all, was her last name. She never insisted on teaching her daughter what she herself had lived through in her childhood on Latin lands. As a result, Brazilian culture never truly captivated Zoey — not the music, not the slang, not the feverish rhythm. But one tradition survived the Atlantic crossing, passed on through her mother’s warm, laughing voice:
“The first slice of cake goes to the most special person at the table.”
— Zoey's birthday :)

Summary
Even in the dark, Mira could see Zoey smiling cheerfully to the table at the front, Rumi smiling back with the might of a thousand stars.
Jealously twisted in Mira's chest, unsure of who she'd want smiling at her more.
-
Once upon a time, humans believed. Once upon a time, the three Celestial Goddesses came to be.
To Mira, humans could suffer from their own downfall for all she cares.
Newly-ascended Moon Goddess Mira would much rather do anything else than her new job. Going through all that effort to raise the moon and making all its cheap imitations shine and shimmer for twelve hours straight daily got mind-numbingly boring the first hour into her first day.
Though, with the help of nosy coworker slash renowned Stars Goddess Rumi, and Rumi's partner equally renowned Sun Goddess Zoey, Mira may find something worth cherishing in her new life after all.

Summary
Mira had just wanted to pick up cooking for her girlfriends. What was better than professing her love for them than making mouth-watering food? However, being a Goddess completely removed from human needs and culture would prove to make this venture difficult.
Much, much more difficult.

Summary
"Demon dummy down! Demon dummy down!"
Zoey and Mira slashed the last of the demons, herself a pathetic step behind.
"Demon dummy down," Rumi parroted, her neck itchy.

(Rumi, a couple of non-living bears, and a family that feels so far away.)

Summary
Objectively, Mira is many things. Jack-of-all things mechanical and tech. Lone occupant of a ghost town with a near hundred percent mortality rate. Once a hundred years ago, once two years ago.
She's rebuilt her life before. Another challenge is pretty much second nature to her.
With a new map, a potential new lead to getting one step closer to achieving the most important goal in her new life, she finds herself below the ruins of a science institute, with the breathing body of a woman from before the end of the world.
The message left from the people from the old times is another burden to bear. What they want from her. What she wants from her. She can't provide.
She's not a lifeline, no matter what the starry-eyed woman may make her believe.
