    Summary

    Zorian Kazinski is the third son of a minor merchant house, yet everyone knows that's not quite right. His enemies have eyes everywhere, and while he doesn't fear for his own life he may end up ruining everyone else's if he isn't careful. Yet in order to learn how to keep things from spiraling out of control, Zorian will have to do the most difficult thing he's done yet: admit that his parents might have been right about some stuff.

    ---

    I thought the ending was a little abrupt and didn't resolve enough of the character arcs, so I started imagining how things would develop for some of the more interesting minor characters. One thing led to another and now I've got this fic in my head.

    Summary

    She loved Lorenz – she loved his funny mannerisms, his kindness, his respect for the commonfolk and the duty he felt towards them. She loved him for who he was and he deserved better than a marriage built on a so big and dangerous secret. He deserved better than a cursed woman such as herself.

    So she waited for him, hands on her lap, her lower lip quivering, ready to give him up.

    Summary

    [Spoiler warning for... everything in Nier, really.]

    After an eternal war brought to an end, androids are left to pick up the pieces of their devastatingly shattered life purpose: Humanity is long gone, and all they can do is find comfort between one another. One of them, a studied one, tells stories of their creators as an excuse to share a time and place together, and hopefully, find a way to move on.

    Wait, how does he even know these stories?

    Wait, what do you MEAN he's a human?!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I recommend this to any fans of NieR Automata searching for a lighter yet realistic take on the story after ending E if a human (from their own world, no isekai here) were still alive. It also elaborates on stuff the games don't bother with, which is great.

    Altogether, I am very happy for having read this
