    Summary

    There are some questions which didn't get answered in the game. Such as: "What was everyone else up to whilst Ouroboros spent that long month in Agnus Castle?" Or, "What inspired Taion to call his Blade 'Mondo'?" Or, "How exactly did Ethel and Cammuravi's rivalry begin?" Or, "What happened the first time Taion and Eunie's Interlink cancelled out whilst they were in midair?" Or, "Why did Moebius allow the Nopon Archsage to set up shop in Aionios?" ("Meh! 'Allow', he says.")

    This is one author's attempt at providing some answers to these questions, and many more you might never have thought to ask. (Like, "What if Nia had a fondness for mimicking the Zekenator when she thought no one was watching?")

    (A series of [narratively] canon-compliant drabbles, ficlets, and short stories set in the universe of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.) [Spoilers abound for those who haven't played the game. Which you should.]

    [Chapter 49 update: In which we look at the work of the Survey Branch during a time where the future was redeemed...but from their perspective, it just added to their workload.]

    Summary

    Ren Amamiya and Kasumi Yoshizawa confess before Ren enters Sae's Palace. Their relationship blossoms, only for the revelation in Maruki's Palace on January 2nd to complicate things. Ren and Sumire have to discover if their feelings will remain the same, and where those feelings will take them in the future.

    This story covers their "first date" and recontextualizes existing events in the game with a stronger emphasis on Ren, Sumire, and their relationship. From there, Ren and Sumire carve a path to their future to become the champions of their own world, working their way through the gymnastics scene in Japan and internationally.

    Along the way, they'll meet others who tread the same path, and Ren must figure out what he wants to do with his life.

    Their ultimate goal is the Olympic World Stage.

    Summary

    Makoto Niijima doesn't really know how to be a girlfriend. Or, really, how to be anyone who isn't the Student Council President, the Therapist Friend, or the strategist of the Phantom Thieves. Which is kind of ironic, considering how badly she wants to carve her own path.

    All it takes is the better part of her senior year, some extra... unconventional studying, and several trips to the mall to flip everything on its head.

    Summary

    It’s the summer after her stint as a Phantom Thief, and Futaba has been spending way too much time with her favorite local art weirdo. That’s the best explanation she can think of for why she’s started finding it cute when he rambles about art and soothing when she watches him sketch. Having actual feelings for him would be distracting and inconvenient, so she won’t do that. That’s how it works… right?
