Nat // she/they // Lv.28 // I doodle, write, and play games // a big ol' mess of stuff, including JJBA, Guilty Gear, Bayonetta, and Street Fighter // ♤ AO3/PSN/IG: Realest_Nat // ♡ Discord: armoredpoyo // ♢ XBL: HollyTokyo // ♧Twitter: talietikasero

Been a while since I made one of these, but here’s a list of all the fics I’ve published on AO3. In order, they’re for Guilty Gear, Tekken, and Portal/Half-Life, and links to each are in the titles.

Ending // Begin // All is Different (1/?)

Aria’s original wish was to peacefully pass on, despite all pleas to continue living. One key promise and changed mind later, she may have altered the future she wouldn’t know otherwise.
[An alternative story based on the novel Guilty Gear Begin]

Aria of the Sol (3/3)

Five days after the Justice/Jack-O fusion, Aria finds herself waking up in a new body lying in a hospital bed. The same day, she meets her daughter, her son-in-law, and her old Flame (of Corruption.) In the coming days, she tries to make the most of this second chance at life she’s been given – and figuring out who that mysterious voice in her head is.
[Set during the three-week gap between Revelator and -Strive-]

Who Knows What Tomorrow Holds (13/?)

A trio of (unlikely) heroes finds themselves protecting the President of the United States after a hostile takeover of the White House. On top of that, there’s the looming threat of an axis of time attaining godhood. It’s going to be a long day. [Following “Aria of the Sol,” this is a retelling/reimagining of the Guilty Gear -Strive- story mode.]
[Current chapter (13): After Story 1, part 1]

B-Sides and Rarities (3/?)

A miniseries of extra scenes from "Who Knows What Tomorrow Holds.” The Valentine sisters visit their mother in the castle’s prison, later assisting an intelligence director in footage review. The next day, a Secret Service agent shows two of the White House’s special guests around the premises.
[An alternative Another Story and arcade routes (script drafts here) are in the works.]

Little (Killer) Queen (2/2)

It’s Father’s Day, and the daughter of a particle physicist has a surprise planned for him. Later that same year, said girl’s family and friends have something planned for her. [Modern AU]

The March of the Gear Queen (1/1)

During the final battle of the Second Holy Order Selection Tournament, Sol claims victory in the showdown against Justice. It’s then that something seems off. To satiate curiosity, the winner spares the fallen.

Do You Wear the Mark (1/1)

The (former) Princess of the Gears finds the letters she addressed to her long-dead mother. Each was dated for the second Sunday of May.

Of All Places to Meet You, It Had to Be Here (2/?)

Two people chasing the same person for different reasons were unaware of how the three of them are connected. An Italian church is a weird place to find out that the seemingly random person you’re fighting armed soldiers with is actually a blood relative.

Father of All Machines (1/1)

Despite everything that’s happened, all one scientist wants is something he’d spend a lifetime working on.
[Set before the events of Tekken 6]

The Stardust of a Song (1/?)

The year is 192X, and an unnamed American city’s home to a cross-town rivalry, with each side under the guise of a name for scientific innovations. What began as a night out takes an unexpected turn as the right hands of both properly meet for the first time. [1920s AU]

sorry for veggieangelism but really you can put pretty much any veg in the oven for 20 minutes at 400 covered in olive oil, salt, pepper, onion+garlic powder and have it be good

I stared at "veggieangelism" for way too long bracing myself for the most batshit veggietales related subculture discourse that also had some sort of overlap with real life evangelism to follow

The poll feature really took off because it taps into tumblr's favorite activity: being extremely opinionated about things that don't matter

I bet octopuses think bones are horrific. I bet all their cosmic horror stories involve rigid-limbs and hinged joints.

To an octopus, a human is like a thinking being with blood-stained coral growing inside it.

I need to sit down and breathe into a bag for a while.

Its parts were obscenely limited in their movement. Each hinge could open or close only a small amount before reaching its limit, yet by working in concert they demonstrated unexpected dexterity, moving and manipulating the objects before it with cunning equal to my own. It was more torso than limb, as though a seal had been stretched and warped, given long grasping tentacles filled with bones like bars of coral.  It’s head was most horrid of all, flat and ovoid, jutting out too small from the trunk as though it belonged to a beast half its size.

The thing rose upon its lowermost appendages, two long trunks that ended in flat, protruding flippers that branched into stubby, grasping mockeries of a sucker. It’s triple-hinged uppermost limbs were similar, but the ends branched into five smaller tentacles, each with three hinges of their own.

I froze, as the thing’s gaze fell upon me and it opened its hideous fish-jaw, filled with thick, many-shaped teeth like white shards of stone, and spoke in a shrill, discordant babble. I felt its horrid dry grip on my flesh, as those hinged appendages closed on me like the legs of a crab.

I felt the heat of its body, tasted its noxious, oily flesh through my touch, and prepared for the end, and all went black as a swoon overtook me.

I awoke, some time later, the cold and comforting water, banished back to the comfort of the sea and the dark. I should be grateful I am alive. I should cast aside the experience like a half-remembered dream.

I shall never again go swimming in search of lights above. The last thing I recall before the darkness took me was my right eye popping free of the thing’s grasp enough to see into the distance for one brief moment.

I saw thousands of lights.

ok so it turns out “horror but it’s about something mundane from the perspective of a non-human animal” fucks severely

Somebody should run on “De-Reaganizing America” by vowing to repair as much of the damage Ronald Reagan had done as possible.

Please do. The UK desperately needs it.

companies underestimate how much locking their content behind needing an account will just make me go do something else. oh your website wants me to make an account to view this content? oh your website doesn't show media to logged-out users? okay. i didn't actually want to see it that bad. yeah. bye ✌️

This is the dream, tho?

I'm putting the term "red flag" on the shelf with the other words
