Summary
Crow's content being a corporate shill for Cayenne Estates, so long as it means the demise of the Osborne Group. Looking to crush their last, desperate bid to avoid bankruptcy, Crow is sent to Ymir a few days before Christmas to cut a deal for a luxury mountain resort with the local mayor.
He doesn't expect to fall in love along the way.
My shot at a dumb little Hallmark Christmas movie AU.

Summary
While Jusis has certainly become vastly more competent in the kitchen than he was during their early days at Thors, he’s never had any talent for desserts, and his attempts to make a beverage that isn’t tea sometimes yields results best suited for the battlefield. So when he says he’s making hot chocolate and asks if Machias would like some, Machias hesitates for a moment; then, he takes one look at that stupid, pretty face, and says, “Yes."
Gift for the secret santa holiday exchange!

Summary
Sequel to Without Mythologies.
400 years after the Twilight, an old enemy steps out of the shadows and Class VII, with the Ashen and Azure Chevaliers, must again become light in a time of darkness.
Of course, it would have been helpful if someone had told them that before they were neck-deep in what might very well be the apocalypse.

Summary
Day of the Dead is nothing special. According to Jurai lore, the dead come back to life for a night. It's a crock of shit, of course; Crow’s pretty sure it was invented by somebody eating the wrong mushroom back in the day. He lived there for thirteen years, so he can testify to that, but everyone loves a good, spooky urban legend.
The ghosts, however, disagree.

Summary
Rean is a young detective of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s homicide division, and a member of a specialized branch utilizing experimental new technology. He’s always been uniquely sensitive to others’ emotions—which makes him the ideal candidate for the prototype of the “VALIMAR System”, a partner program which allows him to delve into the subconscious mind of a subject as long as he maintains eye contact.
He’s proud of the work that he does... but having to internalize the emotions and motivations of scum who show no remorse has taken a mental toll on him. The nature of his job keeps him pretty busy, but he still tries to make time for friends and family... although his mental capacity for socializing has been dwindling by the day. And forget relationships... even if he wanted to give it an honest try, his heart was too muddied by his complicated situationship with someone who was admittedly pretty useful as an informant, even if he was damn annoying... it was just complicated.
[Inspired by the “AI: The Somnium Files” games. I know the concept of “AI” has become really cringe and we all hate it, so just pretend it’s the cool cyberpunk version of AI everyone imagined in the 80s and 90s lol]

Summary
For three years, the dreaded pirate Azure Siegfried has terrorized Erebonia's waters--but as tensions rise toward civil war and conflict sparks with the Republic of Calvard over the small island nation of Crossbell, pirate attacks are only one of many worries plaguing Erebonia's people.
Young naval captain Rean Schwarzer thought he would welcome anything to distract him from the role he's been forced to play in the blockade of Crossbell. When pirates attack a civilian passenger ship with him on board, he gets all the distraction he could have asked for and comes face to face with someone he thought long since lost.

Summary
“I mean, I’m amazed you’ve let your guard down enough in a single month to even have a repeat encounter, let alone actually get sappy. How are baby’s first feelings? Do you feel butterflies? Man, now I want to extend my visit just to document this phenomena. Aaron Wei: Actual Adult Feelings Edition.”
He slid down in his seat just a bit, feeling warm. This was why he had been avoiding her, damnit all!
“Still weird you didn’t just tell me, though. What would stop you—” Ashen cut herself off. Oh no. Aaron’s eyes slipped closed without his say so, feeling a headache start. Her sucked in breath was loud. “Are you banging the spriggan?” she hissed in the loudest whisper imaginable.
--
Or: Aaron tries very had to fuck away his, ugh, feelings.

Summary
Spoilers for Knockplease's work: Intersecting Vicissitudes, where Crow chose Rean and Class VII just before the Civil War, doesn't shoot Osborne, and survives the Civil War. This work will not make sense if you have not read that. Please go read that first if you haven't it's amazing.
Crow's been having nightmares, when an opportunity reaches Class VII's ears they send him something to help cheer him up.
With the Occupation of Crossbell, there's a lull in the fighting between the Empire and the Republic. The SSS receives a request from the Bracer Guild for a delivery and learns about an odd man that is more than what he seems.
