Summary
The Crusades in five short acts.
The truth about blood and dirt is that it mixes into mud all the same. He scours for an untouched patch of soil to fruitlessly scrub the crusted blood from his shoes. Two fingers dig into the soil, rust-colored dirt clumps under the fingernails. There is nothing else here. Nothing beyond the barren waste that his omens lead him to, whether he likes it or not.
As featured in [ Let's Rock! ], a free 25th anniversary fanzine.

Summary
Presentation is the most grueling of a queen's responsibilities.
What use was a winter wedding, when Ky and Dizzy had already married? It was six years ago that their ceremony concluded with an ice cream cake and party streamers hanging from the apartment ceiling. Ky’s arm swung around Dizzy’s waist, dipping her into a kiss—only to be sprayed in the face with canned whipped cream. Then, Dizzy cupped her hands around Ky’s face, kissed him for real and laughed against his lips.

Summary
Far beyond the end of the Crusades, its memory persists in the hearts of men and monsters alike.
Ky gulped, sober but with a buzzing heat pulsing through his face. Why were they surprised? He was a child born into war, after all, a fact that meant he was no child at all: whether he was born with the Thunderseal in hand or not made little difference. He departed with his teen years formed from a bloodbath, and drowned in the scent of bile and viscera.

Summary
'Free time' is not a pair of words often found in Ky Kiske's vocabulary.
The look Dizzy gave him was one he was all too familiar with, coupled with a stern-looking hand on her hip. 'Relax' was a funny word coming from Ky's lips and Ky knew that. Such a word he offered to others, but rarely extended himself the same courtesy. The High King of Illyria, ever busy, ever occupied, ever needed with something other than his own enjoyment.

Summary
An offering to join the Convocation is always a momentous occasion.
He has not seen the visions that Anesidora has seen. Somehow, they feel as though disaster will always be wrought by their own hands. Such is their burden, the weight of the Star bears down upon them at night. Their concepts are a dangerous sort, just as volatile as they are beautiful, and despite Anesidora’s amiable nature, they are cursed. Maybe that's why Anesidora is so drawn to Hephaestus.

Summary
A hypothetical chapter 7 for the Guilty Gear: Begin novel. Frederick goes on a field trip from the east coast of America to the south-west and is sad and miserable the whole way. There is a span of 6 months between chapter 6 and the epilogue of Begin where Frederick doesn't have a limiter to suppress his Gear powers. This fic aims to explore those 6 months. There is some excessive violence after chapter 01.
==
I've decided to keep writing after this fic catches up to where it was originally going to end with Begin's epilogue. Dunno where it'll stop now but I absolutely 100% will not write into the Crusades (just way too much lore to untangle, too big a cast). The post-Begin part of the story starts around the end of 02 - 06 into 02 - 07.

Summary
Set pre-game, spoilers for 5.0 MSQ. Lyna and the Crystal Exarch. The world may be in ruins, but that's all the more reason to care.
"How much of a sinner are you?" she asks anyway, on principle.
His smile -- the only thing she can see of his face -- is gentle. "I try."

Summary
“Here’s my idea,” and Riku leans in to listen to him like they’re conspiring. “If you see every reason to forgive me, then there is no reason to not start forgiving yourself.”
“Huh,” And it made sense. Riku couldn’t argue that he didn’t deserve it, because it’d be invalidating Terra, too. Well played. “Okay. I can’t argue with that.”
Riku finds comfort in the fact Terra gets it. Little does he know, Terra feels the same way.
