[rileywritesnovellas]

On top of my 50k word romance novella on Amazon, Sword Fighting in the Garden, I have several fan-fics published on AO3 as well. Almost all of these are Fantasy High fics written before the recent premiere of Junior Year, and the rest are Star Ocean the Divine Force fics. I figured a post to share all of them could be fun, though I will separate them into categories so you can browse more easily.

I have not watched any of FHJY yet, and anything in here that is a spoiler was not made with malice or the intent to spoil, but rather a blind coincidence

Category One: Slice of Life Fantasy High Fics

The Making of Adaine O'Shaughnessy: A slice of life fic showing Adaine contemplating a name change to better fit who her real guardian is!

What it's Like to Trance: An examination of Figs life growing up, my head cannon for how Trancing works in the FH universe, and some sweet moments between Fig & Gilear and Fig & Ayda

Random Encounters Volume 1: a collection of 300+ word short ficlets that I couldn't get over 1k. This one includes Fig Driving Safe, Riz learning to sword fight, a sisterly moment, and a look at Gorgug making things.

Spell Bound: a fic about Fig doodling after finding a page in Ayda's spell book set aside for doodles of Fig.

Random Encounters Volume 2: another collection of those short stories, this one includes Gorgug calming his gf down, an examination of Kristin's love for Tye Dye, the wizard girls sharing a moment, and Fabian spending quality time with his bike.

In Concert: Fig and Ayda steal a moment after The Cig Figs perform, and Fig recognizes the stability Ayda brings to her life

Random Encounters Volume 3: this one features A look at what makes Riz tick, a sequel to 'In Concert' following Gorgug and Zelda, Aelwyn getting some new clothes, and Jawbone having a long night

A Very Long Night (Extended): Jawbone spends some time pondering his two not-quite-daughters and how he came across them, an extension of the fourth story in REV3

Trio of Transitively Best Friends: Adaine finds herself as the go to girl for both of her two best friends in the world, Ayda & Fig, as they start dating.

Becoming Sisters Again: Adaine and Aelwyn share some vulnerable moments as they relive a brief and almost forgotten moment of bonding from their past.

Random Encounters Volume 4: this one includes Fig and Jawbone deciding he isn't dad number 3 for her, Boggy spotting an intruder, Riz telling his dad about the little things, and Ayda seeking immortality

Flying Away: Fig mentions marriage and Ayda has too many feelings about that, so she flies away only to get stuck in a rainstorm.

Pockets: Ayda decides to accessorize to make her flying dates with Fig a little easier.

The Smell of Fire in the Morning: Fig and Ayda are separated for a period of time, leaving Fig missing the small things about her

Overthinking It: Ayda is worried that Fig will get bored, so asks Adaine for some advice.

Movie Night: Fig has Ayda over for a sleep over

Category Two: The B.A.D. Kids, A Fantasy High Spy AU

Quick note for my convenience, this category will be in Chronological Order of events, because that's the order they are in the series on AO3.

The Abernant Sisters have a B.A.D. Time: After realizing her father is going to do something horrible to her little sister, the two run away together to Solace, where they join the Bureau of Advanced Detectives to hide from their powerful family.

Enter The B.A.D. Kids: Fig is recruited into the Bureau of Advanced Detectives, and is assigned to a team of spies, analysts, and soldiers who are all working on one goal, dismantling a covert criminal organization seemingly founded by Kalima, a former B.A.D. Agent.

Silent Strikes, Born of Shadows: A Kalina POV one shot following her setting a trap for the B.A.D. Agents on her tail.

The Analysts: Adaine and Ayda discuss their lives as they take a short break from work.

In B.A.D. Taste: With Fig sidelined, Fabian is put in the hot seat to track down notorious criminal mastermind Kalina as she flies the country and sets sail for Leviathan

B.A.D. Luck: a WIP follow up to 'In B.A.D. Taste' following Ragh as the battle against this shadowy criminal cabal becomes less about subtle machinations and more about open conflict.

Category Three: Star Ocean Fics

Another Author's note here, I understand most of you are here for Fantasy High stuff, but please check this fic out. If you like women who like women, you might like this!

I'll also only list one fic despite writing several. Why? Because the one fic is actually a remastering of the others, where each fic is a chapter, and each one was fixed up and edited for a better reading experience.

The Princess and Her Doctor (Remastered Collection): Follow the on going adventure of Princess Laeticia Aucerius and her doctor Nina Deforges after the events of Star Ocean: The Divine Force. The two developed a close relationship over the course of the game, and it only continues to grow more romantic as the two travel together to spread the cure for Helgar's Disease

Top 10 Video Games of All Time: bobgoesw00t Edition

OK, I’m officially gonna start listing my Top 10 Video Games of All Time now and I’m starting off with the only game from my original Top 5 that has survived the cut: Star Ocean Till the End of Time

Now I should mention something real quickly and it’s the following: I’ve played this game MULTIPLE TIMES, cleared the story at least 3-4 times, and only one of those clears was done without the use of an Action Replay… I know that’s rather sad but the first time I got to the Moon Base, without using it, that god damn Reclaimer FUCKED ME UP SO HARD that I ended up resorting to using the, “Max EXP” cheat on the entire party.

When they released the HD Remaster of the game on the PS4, I knew that I would have to play smarter (no Action Replay will do that to you), once I got that far and I was actually able to beat her on the first try somehow…I think. ANYWAYS, what I’m trying to say is that this game is one of my three favorite JRPGs from the PS2 (one of those is in my Top 5 right now) and no matter how many times I boot the game up and start from the beginning I have a blast. The story is awesome, the graphics hold up surprisingly well in the HD Remaster (at least IMO), combat is fun and challenging at times, and the cast of characters is phenomenal (hell, my top Star Ocean OTP is from this game and they are SO CUTE AND FLUFFY AO;SDGHASOLGJAPO;STGIJLAGPO…it’s Fayt x Albel/FayBel in case your wondering). I even think the big plot twist is awesome, given how it re-frames the ENTIRE series, even with the games that got released after it. I know one of the people who work on the series said that The Last Hope takes place in an alternate timeline, but I call bullshit on that.

That’s cause if we factor in the information that the Universe as Edge and the party know it is actually a giant MMOesque creation, we can come to the logical conclusion that the Missing Procedure is a bug or virus of some kind in the Eternal Sphere that had the potential to crash the entire system. As for the impact it has on Integrity and Faithlessness, along with The Divine Force, that is a conversation for another day.

I also like how in order to get enough Battle Trophies to unlock all of the bonus content, you actually have to play through the story multiple times with different party configurations when it comes to the optional characters. You’ve got Nel, Rodger, Albel and Peppita and which ever characters you don’t pick end up becoming bosses in the Urssa Cave Temple, and you get Battle Trophies for defeating the different configurations.

I only really have two complaints to talk about but both are pretty minor for me. The first one is the lack of a “Synopsis” section in the Info part of the Camp Menu, someplace where you can look up what’s happened so far and easily figure out where to go next. If you’re like me and you’ve taken a long break from the story, chances are you won’t remember what the current objective is the only way to figure that out is to run around like a chicken with your head cut off hoping for a cutscene to trigger…which sometimes can lead into a Boss Fight that you might be under prepared for. Thankfully they added that into the next game and this is no longer an issue but it’s still a pain in the ass to have this happen.

The other complaint is the MASSIVE difficulty spike at some points in the game. The only places I can think of when this happens is when you stop the Vendeeni from getting the Sacred Orb, the start of the second disc (or the equivilant part in the HD Remaster), and when you reach a certain level in the post-game part of Sphere 211. If you have any party members that are under-leveled, the enemies here will FUCK THEM UP. But even with properly leveled characters, one wrong move will wipe them from the battle.

And that’s all I have for gripes with this game, nothing really game breaking, and once you get a grip on the tougher enemies in the main story, it becomes a breeze to get past them and move on with the plot. Great gameplay, good cast of characters, music by the BADASS Motoi Sakuraba and a theme song from the Japanese Artist renown not just for being the first J-R&B star, but also sung the Japanese National Anthem at the Tokyo Games Opening Ceremony, MISIA. Her song, “A Little Bird Who Forgot How to Fly” is GORGEOUS and I almost ball my eyes out during the ending credits every time when it starts playing.

SO for my score of Star Ocean Till the End of Time, I’m going to follow in the steps of X-Play, use their scoring system and give this JRPG a 5/5.

Lastly for my Honorable Mentions today, I’m highlighting:

Forza Horizon 3 - the racing game that got my into not only the Forza franchise in general, but also introduced me to the music of CHVRCHΞS. Even the the next Horizon game wasn’t able to top this one for me, no matter how good it was.

Tales of Xillia/Xillia 2 - I’m doing a two for one deal this time only cause I feel like you can’t talk about one game without mentioning the other. Both games are awesome, both have their merits and flaws (not many of them to be honest though) and both have my favorite theme songs in the franchise from the Queen of J-Pop, Ayumi Hamasaki.

I’ll be giving more a in-depth reviews of these games sometime next year so that’s all for today! Keep your eyes peeled for when I post the next entry in this series and I hope you all continue to have a wonderful holiday season.

Elena - Star Ocean: The Divine Force

Started when I saw the boy with the blue exquisite hair with knight uniform. He looks something like this.

 It was my first Star Ocean game, if you know Tales of, then you’re going to love this franchise as well.

Next preceder, he looks mostly the same except the hair color.

Star Ocean 4 is the challenging activity you might ever play in this franchise, earning the victorious challenge might be tough and pretty tight at the same time.

Next up, now I almost felt like I forgot about this next one. it’s been a while that we got another SO game, since the last one at the time.

Don’t have much to say about this one. Other then his look. I guess he looks similar to Fayt. Generally glad I’ve got to beat the game as another SO. 

Yet another long long while we got another new new. Our new participant.

Raymond "Ray" Lawrence, He’s cool, made some few new friends and couple of his friends got really shocked from his tech that we never seen before.

Playing SO felt like old times. Now, back to action!
