I originally wrote this back in August of 2020 in fits and spurts and periods of neglect over the course of a few weeks. Before I could put this up, however, I suffered a personal tragedy that left me in a severely depressed state that I'm still in the process of working through. During that time I ended up in a cycle of forgetting about this, remembering it and then procrastinating until I forgot it again which is why I'm only getting around to posting it now.

At least I've finished one fic last friggin' year.

Just some speculation to deal with a frustratingly hastily dropped plot point. Title from Sonata Arctica's "The Boy Who Wanted to be a Real Puppet". Minor spoilers for early parts of Raven's backstory/The Empty Mask but otherwise ignores it.

Title: This Only Ends with a Sharp Knife
Fandom: Tales of Vesperia
Rating: PG
Word Count: 2888
Characters: Raven/Schwann, Flynn, Yuri
Summary: Pre-game/mid-game. Perhaps the strings on Alexei's puppet weren't as strong as either of them thought.

Flynn had the makings of someone that could tear down all of Alexei's plans. )

I gotta say, the fact that the game ends with all the world's blastia turning into spirits, I'm shocked and somewhat disappointed at the lack of post-game spirit world speculation. I kind of like a Shaman King-esque situation where spirits (weaker spirits) are tiny floating figures that can lend a person of their choosing their power or empower items. I also like the idea that the barrier blastia became city spirits that can act in their own interests but also protect their respective cities.

Eventually. After Estelle ran around for a year or two trying to talk the spirits into being cooperative.

Spent all day at work and forgot that it was Saturday oops.

Fandom: Tales of Vesperia
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1888
In Responds to: Fluri Week 2019: Sick Saturday

With Flynn, Repede would have a purpose, better care, better food. A better life. )

Back when I first started playing around with ideas for a hockey AU I'd written a number of snippets for it of which this originally started out as. Then, because I liked the idea enough to want to turn this snippet into a standalone for Fluri Week, I tacked on 3500+ more words. Between that, work, and being horrible ill for over a week, I didn't get to finish much else for the week :/

Look, I just have Thoughts about that hit Flynn took for Yuri and the lack of explicit let's-tell-you're-best-friend-you're-not-dead that followed.

Title: Harder to Breathe
Fandom: Tales of Vesperia
Rating: PG
Word Count: 2344
Characters: Flynn, Yuri, Estelle, additional appearances by Rita, Sodia and others
Summary: Obligatory post-Zaude fic. It's difficult knowing someone so strong can still be so vulnerable.

I'll find him. I'll go after him myself. I can't lose him. )

Please continue to pardon any inaccuracies with characterizations as I still haven't gotten around to familiarizing myself with games other than Vesperia and Rays. Title for Wonders Never Cease by Morcheeba. Thanks to suguelya for giving it a look-through.

Title: Brings My Soul so Close to You
Fandom: Tales of the Rays, Tales of Vesperia
Rating: PG
Word Count: 7203
Characters: Flynn, Yuri, Hubert, Estelle, Velvet, Ludger, Mikleo, Ami and Ix
Summary: Set in a nebulous post-Mirrage Prison timeframe. Five different looks into Yuri and Flynn's relationship

They're both idiots in the exact same way, aren't they? )

What started as a silly scene with Cress's pun ended up turning into a nearly 2k post-Mirrage Prison fic. Caveats: I've only played, like, three Tales games and two of those were 15+ years ago so characterizations are primarily based of ToRays depictions. Apologies if they're inaccurate. Also my knowledge of Mirrage Prison is an incomplete hodgepodge of translations and summaries. Apologies if that, too, is inaccurate.

Title a re-worded line from Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" because ~what are titles~?

Title: Trade Your Ghosts for Heroes
Fandom: Tales of the Rays, Tales of Vesperia
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1996
Characters: Flynn, Yuri, various minor appearances
Summary: Following the end of Mirrage Prison, Flynn is finally properly introduced to the other Nexuses.

Maybe I won't care so much next time you get bodyjacked. )

Some creative license regarding Zaphias's water system, particularly the canal in the Lower Quarter, otherwise this would be taking place in the river outside of Zaphias which just seemed unlikely.

Title: Undertow
Fandom: Tales of Vesperia
Rating: PG
Word Count: 2582
Characters: Flynn, Yuri
Summary: Though Yuri brought up the time Flynn was swept away by a river as a light-hearted story, it hadn't been nearly as amusing at the time.

Kid... I don't even know what to say. You are something else. )
