    Summary

    Past life memories can be inconvenient, especially when they’re awakened on accident by meddling gods. Past life memories that give you just enough information to be dangerous to the various bad guys, but not enough to act on that without risking a lot of lives with unknown gains? Inconvenient, stressful, and not great for sleep.

    Once, I was Tanya of Earth, a relatively new fan of Final Fantasy 14 after I got introduced to the story by Shadowbringer. Now I’m Tomoyo the Raen, formally of Othard, now of the La Noscea archipelago. And now, I’m the Warrior of Light, best of a bunch of bad options according to the Mothercrystal.

    My knowledge is spotty, my axe is sharp, and I’ve got a drive to learn and a new appreciation for all things magic and weird. If only I’d spoiled myself on Endwalker instead of holding off hoping to play it after release.

    But hey, I’ve got my own chocobo. That’s got to count for something, right?

    [A ‘live’ reaction to FF14’s A Realm Reborn, with spoilers from up to 5.4 due to metaknowledge, as written shortly before the release of Endwalker.]

    Summary

    Dan Heng accepts a job at the prestigious Herta Marine Center and finds himself back in the quiet beachside town of Astral Cove where he grew up. Of course, some things never change-- and before long he finds himself roped into another one of childhood best friend March's questionable adventures.

    When a poorly-planned trip to Mara Island strands Dan Heng, March and new friend Stelle in a mysterious volcanic pool under a full moon, their lives are forever changed. Can the three solve the mystery of their new mermaid powers, all while staying hidden from the prying eyes of the Herta Center?

    ~~~

    March rubbed her eyes, blinked, then rubbed them again. “Oh my god. Ohmygodohmygod. Why is Dan Heng a mermaid.”

    “Touched water,” Stelle said.

    “Got wet,” Dan Heng said.

    March shook her head. “Okay, not gonna lie, but that’s kinda hot.”

    “That’s hot,” Stelle agreed. Then, after a moment— “Can you get pregnant?”

    Summary

    Aizawa Shouta first met Wei Ying when the boy was merely a toddler dressed in odd old-fashioned clothes and he himself was not yet a fully fledged pro hero. When he meets the boy again, and yet again, he comes to realise that there’s a reason no-one can track the boy down – Wei Ying comes from an entirely different universe.

    Summary

    The Lans were one of the founding families of the Vancouver Guild; part of their legacy is to maintain their place in it for the benefit of all. Cultivation is important, essential, serious.

    In the distance, something squeaks.

    A disaster, is Lan Zhan’s first impression as the bike squeals to a halt on the far side of Song Lan’s car. The man riding it – and he’s tall, and lanky, and sure-footed – hops off and locks it to the car’s back door. The back door of a police vehicle. He pulls his helmet off to reveal long, sweat-soaked hair with a shaggy undercut, bright grey eyes, and a smile that launches like an arrow straight through Lan Zhan’s chest.

    No, he thinks, watching this trainwreck of a man shimmy between the narrow space dividing Song Lan’s back bumper and the next car’s hood like he’s doing some kind of dance step. Absolutely not.
