    Summary

    "When the forget-me-not blooms, the traveler will return home."

    ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

    You keep having dreams.

    Dreams of a girl, dreams of a meadow and the infinite cosmos, dreams you can't explain. When an early spring brings with it flowers blooming at unusual times and in unusual places, you meet a mysterious stranger who almost seems as though he was born from the stars themselves. With his every step, thus blooms a flower beyond your comprehension, and a love spanning across the furthest reaches of time.

    Summary

    And there he lounged on the throne he had always rebuked, no evidence of a struggle other than the hilt of the greatsword still clutched in one gauntlet, the other bare hand unhurriedly wiping at a smear of dark red across his cheek.

    Your king. A dream long before that, a distant light of happier memories, forgotten in centuries of darkness, of waiting. And even longer before that, he had been a companion. Your dearest friend.

    "Xavier," you had breathed, just for that briefest of moments where you got to see him nearly falter from the taunt of familiarity in your tone, leaving him wondering if it was yet another dream of you.

    Inspired by the Gilded Dreams Secret Times.

    Summary

    The Mire wasn't always a desert.

    Vermillion is a warden, Quinacridone is the prisoner he's currently tasked with executing. Executions in the Mire are a lengthy process of warden and prisoner wandering the desert until its time to offer the condemned back to the Mire.

    This isn't Vermillion's first execution but restless ghosts, hungry caves, old gods awaiting reascension, and an unwise wager with his prisoner make it by far the strangest.

    ~*~

    Fire pierces his heart. Its heat will not save him from the ice devouring his flesh.

    "You will not die," an old friend hisses in a dead tongue. "We have suffered too many failures. I grow tired of this game. You will not fail me, not again, not so close to the end of this farce."

    Spitefully, he tries to push away the warmth gnawing at him.

    "Do not think you can force yourself to pass on without my blessing." Furious, the fire twists like a knife in his chest. "Weakened as I am, this is my territory, not yours. You will linger in agony if I will it so."

    So he does.

    Summary

    Despite plenty of teasing and shenanigans, Suzu and Tenka are a pretty close pair of siblings. Which, of course, means that Tenka will end up getting herself dragged into her brother's (mis)adventures at Univeil one way or the other! And seriously, why is he so obsessed with this Kisa Tachibana guy anyways? COMPLETED!

    Summary

    “The people are angry,” one advisor seethed. “They’re hurt, afraid, and they are demanding reparations. Some even go so far as to demand that the savages assimilate into civilized society, that we deliver an ultimatum.”

    “What if we compromised, and made an attempt to obtain reparations and a peace treaty?” Zelda made a point to draw her eyes across each man seated at the table.

    Her father’s hand stilled at his beard, face cast as if shadowed by an autumn storm. Finally, after what felt like years of silence, he stroked his beard thoughtfully.

    “It will be so.”
    -
    While they may not have negotiated peace, the war chief reflected, he had a piece that would guarantee it squirming in his grasp.

    Summary

    As these fuzzy thoughts and wrong words tumble through his head yet again, he feels warmth leaning into him, just below his neck.

    Sena’s head. The height is too perfect to be anything else.

    For a split second, Lanz freezes, unsure how to react. Then his own voice betrays him.

    “Say.”

    “Hm?”

    Spark, he doesn’t have a plan here. He rips a patch of grass out from the ground and goes with the first follow-up he can think of.

    “What’s with your hair, anyway?”

    Spark!

    Summary

    “Exactly how many terms are you?”

    The Agnus soldier’s eyes burn with curiosity behind his glasses. (And isn’t that an amusing quirk? Perfect little soldiers, born and bred only to fight and die, yet a physical imperfection is allowed to remain. Or are his eyes actually perfect? Are they a mere affectation on his part?)

    It’s Gray’s first time actually speaking to one of them. He hopes it’s the last.

    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

    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

    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

    And yet, that moment in time - for no reason you can quite explain, it remains with you as significant. The kind of moment that people ask about, later - "Do you remember where you were, that day?"

    Except, nothing happens.

    Nothing except time, rolling ever onward.
