Summary
So I started playing FFXIV, and immediately started drawing. Many of these are silly joke comics, some are more serious; I'm going to try to keep them loosely in the order of gameplay, as I experienced or thought of them. These are also collected on tumblr under the tag "Sorrel's Adventures in Eorzea".

Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
Murderbot is at a party.
This is not a normal state of affairs for SecUnits. Neither is the comfy clothes or the sitting or the way the humans keep smiling in its general direction. The smiling, it suspects, will stop, if/when they realise their SecUnit has suffered some sort of catastrophic glitch and has no idea where it is or the specifics of its current assignment.
So it's not going to let them find out.

Summary
When ART finally confirmed the PA credentials and cycled the lock, I was waiting in the foyer. I'd disabled my human behavioral code, so I didn't twitch when the whole group of humans all stopped in their tracks to stare at me.
I said, "You have boarded the Perihelion, registered teaching vessel of the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. Please state your business."
In my feed, ART whispered, You sound like a shuttle attendant.
I sound like a SecUnit.

Summary
As he stares at him, there in his bedroom, the silhouette of him dark against the distant moonlight, he tries to imagine a worse fate for he who he holds most dear: held fast by his greatest Enemy, he who turned his family to ash, forced to do his bidding, reduced to nothing more than a conduit for his vengeance. He who dedicated his entire life, his entire purpose and being to ensuring that no child would know the horror of finding their home destroyed by Nidhogg’s horde.
Nay, he cannot fathom it.

Summary
Artoirel was not insane.
If it was not his own illness to blame, the alternative was worse. A demon. A creature born of sin, undeniably, because nothing that walked in the light of Halone seethed the way this thing did.
(The dark knight Artoirel fic that nobody asked for)
