( Fic Master List )

Title: The Falling Leaves
Fandom: Escaflowne
Genre: AU, drama, romance.
Characters/pairings: Slight Folken/Eries.
Rating: PG
Word count: 573
Summary: Eries visits Fanelia post-war. (AU where Folken doesn't die, in case that wasn't obvious. Based on a tumblr prompt.)

( ''You forget, Lord Folken; I'm used to the capital. One has to travel all the way to the outskirts of Palas before you see any true foliage, and even then, I daresay Asturia's country-sides don't hold a candle to Fanelia's forests. Not at this time of year, at least.'' )

Title: Foil
Fandom: Escaflowne
Genre: Drama, general, friendship?
Characters: Celena, Gaddes.
Rating: PG
Word count: 636
Summary: Post-series. A short, mild Gaddes/Celena, based on a tumblr prompt. (The idea was that someone sent you a pairing and one sentence, and then you wrote the next five only I went way, way, way over that, oops.)

The original prompt, for the curious was: "Celena/Gadess: It was their secret, something her brother couldn't approve (in fact, they spare with their swords)."

( ''Allen would kill me if he knew I was doin' this with you, I hope you appreciate that.'' )

Been meaning to compile this for a while, and I finally decided to get around to it.  (Mostly one-shots and gen-fics, but not entirely.)

( Recs under the cut, in no particular order. )

Fandom:  Escaflowne (with a Hetalia cameo)
Characters/pairings:  FolkenxEries, with some Millerna, and a cameo by Austria from Hetalia.
Rating:  PG?

Again, originally posted to my tumblr.  Collected here for convenience and archival purposes.

( And yet MOAR stick figures. )

Title: Your Words All Over Me
Fandom: Escaflowne
Genre: Drama, angst.
Characters/pairings: Something of a mild Folken/Eries.
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 3,624
Summary: While biding his time in Palas following the destruction of Fort Castelo, Folken is confronted by Princess Eries. (Companion piece to Till I Wake Your Ghost, in that it's the same events, just from Folken's POV.)

Dedicated to pethics/Casa Circe, who kept requesting something from Folken's POV, until the fic-writing part of my brain could no longer resist.

As was the case with Till I Wake Your Ghost, this takes place right around episode 6.

( Her jaw tightened, and her gaze turned hard and dark as sapphires, and humiliated color even rose high in her cheeks. And then she tried to slap him. Interesting. )

Title: Scientific Methods
Fandom: Escaflowne
Genre: Meta, crack, humor, romance.
Characters/pairings: Folken/Eries.
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 2,222
Summary: Merle writes Folken/Eries RPF. Which Folken and Eries then find. Awkwardness and previously non-existent sexual tension ensue. What is this I don't even.

In case it wasn't obvious, this takes place near the end of the series, after Folken defects.

( ''And to think, she used to be such an innocent kitten.'' )

Title: The Blaze Across My Nightgown
Fandom: Escaflowne
Genre: Angst, romance.
Characters/pairings: Folken/Eries.
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 5,302
Summary: Her pulse was pounding in her veins like rain, like thunder, like something dark and primitive and reckless. (Driving Circles Around Me, Part 4.)

Takes place towards the end of the series, after Folken defects.

( Wait. Was that…was she hearing…whistling? )

A while ago I was going to lay out my Eries head-canon, except to do that I needed to lay out some more general Aston sister head-canon, and in the process of doing that, I got tripped up on the Marlene issue: Specifically, if she was heir, why was she married off to Freid? Wouldn’t it make more sense for her to marry an Asturian citizen (much like Millerna eventually ends up doing with Dryden), and thus, keep her in the country?

( And this is where I get all talky about succession and royal politics in general. )

tl;dr: My head-canon states that Marlene was heir, and Aston married her off to Mahad to form/strengthen an alliance, with the intention that Asturia and Freid would formally unify upon Aston’s death. Except Marlene died first, so that part of the agreement was nulled and voided.

Title:  All These Things That I've Done
Fandom:  Escaflowne
Characters:  Folken
Rating:  PG-13?
Summary:  A Folken Fanel FST, simple as that.
Notes:  Total run time:  1:08:13.  All tracks in .mp3 format.

EDIT:  No longer available for download.  However, if particularly interested, let me know, and I'll fix that for you.  :)


( I guess this kind of follows something of a narrative. Kind of. )
