Updates Fridays
To Vyllraen, you might not accept gifts, but your writing is an inspiring gift. I had to give something back.
DISCLAIMER
We are going off the deep end with this one. I’m taking Muriel’s route, Lucio, primarily because of all the Lucios. This is where we see him have a semblance of a plan, and it is also the most unforgivable version. Do you want a proper villain romance, or do you want Lucio? Either way, you will get plenty of both.THE ACTUAL SYNOPSIS
Sometimes you wake up and know exactly what your life is supposed to look like. Other times, you wake up and know who you are. Sometimes your life is a lie, and you're not sure if you can pretend that everything is alright. Sometimes you take things into your own hands and you burn the world down. That's when you listen to your inner goat.Series

Summary
Lark, the Apprentice, isn’t usually one to run off into the woods with some stranger and his familiar at night, but after they find him protecting them and their home from being attacked by a mysterious ghost, they feel almost compelled to do just that.
(as mentioned in the title, this is a full rewrite of Muriel’s route! as such, some aspects of the original story might be different or removed as I see fit, and others might be left unchanged. overall this is a very self-indulgent first fic lmao)

Wouldn’t you know it, another oc thing!
This is my oc Solus, who ends up going on an inter-dimensional adventure on complete accident, and changes completely, forgetting nulls real name, what it used to look like, but still wanting to get home.
(Solus uses they/it/null, mostly they, but the other two will be present as well)Solus is a middle school student, a MINOR, and has no romantic relationships in their story, nor is shipping allowed. No one probably would anyways, but just wanted to make it known.

Summary
Drifting is usually a terrifying thing for a sleeper such as yourself. For as long as you can remember you have spent every morning in a desperate attempt to tether yourself to consciousness, drifting away from your frame.
The reboot feels a lot more like sleeping, rather than drifting. Turning Serafin's coin in your hand, as the sensations slip away, you don't think. You just sleep.
As your worn, weary, and inexplicably exhausted mind struggles to reclaim your manmade body, cycle after cycle after cycle, you slowly begin to feel again. You feel a pinprick against your synthetic skin, and the grip of a tender hand. A voice. Words.
...
Components move. Fluid flows. The rush of a million different protocols and thoughts start to rise and fall like they always have.
It's time to wake up.

When the Star Returns (a ‘The Arcana’ Fanfiction) by Orchids_Ink_and_Quill
Fandoms: The Arcana (Visual Novel)
08 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
This story moves between two timelines: the past, where the apprentice is learning magic with Asra, and slowly grows close to Muriel while Asra keeps his feelings to himself and runs off on his long trips…
And the present, where Asra and Muriel struggle with grief and what’s been left unsaid after the apprentices death and resurrection.MC/The apprentice is gender neutral, and unnamed 🔆
The story will start when Asra returns to Vesuvia with a heavy heart, having learned that the apprentice died while he was away.
After the apprentice is resurrected, both Muriel and Asra are faced with a new challenge… the apprentice has no memory of either of them. Between awkward introductions, small moments of connection, and learning to trust again, the three of them have to figure out how to move forward holding onto the slim hope that the apprentice will learn to love both of them again.
A canon-compliant mix of angst, fluff, slow-burn romance, and a happy ending.
The chapters in the ‘before’ timeline will not be in any specific order and will just follow old happy fluffy memories. Whereas the chapters in the ‘after’ will likely be in more chronological order.

Summary
I received F in our A-Z and decided on Foray!
Also this is my first foray (ba dum TISS) into writing for this fandom.
This will sliiiiightly be taking inspiration from an audio from Kink Radio - he had a similar one where the Apprentice and Muriel had their first sexual experience together.

Summary
Everything was too much. Every sound felt like it was at 100%. Every color assaulted my eyes in the most painful way possible.
I could hear my heart pounding in my chest, I shouldn't be able to. It is loud and unfamiliar as if it isn't mine. Everything is unfamiliar. New. Where am I? ....Who am I?Join me in the story of how I think it would have been waking up at the beginning of the three years before the game.
(this is going to heavily imply the reader having feelings towards Asra but you can read it as them just complementing him if you want. You don't have to "like" them to know that he's gorgeous.)Series

Summary
Not canon compliant, purely random, self-indulgent fluff I wrote. Mc plays the flute because I happen to play the flute lol.
I listened to Bard Dance by Borislav Slavov while writing this, so if you want the full experience, I recommend listening to it while reading this :D -

Summary
/!\ Content Warning: Internalised ableism & Questionable eating habits linked to sensory issues – notably with textures, descriptions of eating and food textures, and smells. As a whole I don’t recommend reading if anything related to eating disorders -understandably- gets to you.
Keep in mind this is heavily based on my experience, and my experience solely. I’m not a doctor, I just have loose knowledge of how my body works and many more question marks about why it sometimes does not. /!\

Summary
“I… Will you hate me if I take more? If I’m a little selfish?” he murmurs. Fear. You’re sure of it. He squeezes you tighter, like he’s afraid you’ll shove him away and flee. Like you’ll tell him you don’t need or want him anymore. For wanting more? For being selfish?
Just because Caleb said “Caleb” means someone who will do anything for you… doesn’t mean he can’t be a little selfish with you too.

Summary
My name is Malory. I am a student of the magical arts. At the time of this story I was apprenticing under Master Asra, a fortuneteller about the same age as me. We lived above a shop we run together in the center of Vesuvia, bustling sea-side city on cliffs laced with canals… bordered by woods to the north, and fields to the south.
I’d read about other lands outside our city, dealt with their exports in the market, but in my limited memory couldn’t recall ever visiting to see them. I didn’t even like leaving my shop to walk the loud, crowded streets on my own.
Asra at my side usually helped, especially when we first met. I could hold his arm and not have to make sense of the voices around me through my haze of confusion… but he was away for who knows how long and I was left to manage alone this time.
This time… as I journeyed to The Palace to meet The Countess and hear her request of me.

/!\ Content Warnings: Description of a meltdown (my experience cuz that’s the only one I can speak on), self-harming behaviours, mention of questionable eating habits, internalised ableism. /!\
So… I’m a freshly diagnosed autistic. Struggling with sensory input sucks so if I can fantasize about Caleb helping, I bloody will.
