A/N: ...This fic makes a hell of a lot more sense if you've read these RP threads: first meeting (sort-of), REAL first meeting + Chloe joins up with the Knights, (classic/cliche-but-cute) Mistletoe Thread, Absolute Honesty Thread which leads to The Date. It sells the idea of Flynn/Chloe, and also explains...uh, why it's possible. TY RP-verses. Though I suppose due to those 'Tales of the World' games, just about ANY sort of 'Tales Of' crossover is at least slightly plausible. Still, I gotta say, supposing Senel and Estelle never wise up, these two would just be too cute together. ♥

This fic came to be because we all know that Flynn probably can't/won't really fully commit to anyone without his BFF's approval. :] But of course, Yuri just takes it as another perfect opportunity to gleefully and unrepentantly troll his childhood friend...for the most part, anyway.

Totally written for its_game_time btw. btw. ♥ And yes, part of this was also somewhat inspired the first episode of the BBC Sherlock. :3

[A/N: Eh, I decided to split this chapter into two, since I’m done with the first half and haven’t been able to focus on the latter half just yet. Why make y’all wait any longer than I have to? Besides, ending with an unlucky thirteen chapters total amuses me. :3]

A/N: Sorry for slowness! This ended up being another long chapter, and that other one-shot fic ate my brain for a few days there. Anyway--any Discworld fans out there? :3 If so, maybe you’ll catch a certain something, and maybe you won’t since it’s super-tiny.

And if you’re not a Discworld fan, then SHAME ON YOU YOU SHOULD BE. Or else we can’t be friends. Just sayin’. |3

…Also, the slight (very slight and one-sided, because this is GEN!BRO-FIC, with no pairings rly) Loki/Sif hints in this chapter are blamed solely on dedicated to fialleril. ;3

A/N: …Man, I really cannot shut up. LONG CHAPTER IS LONG, it was sixteen pages in Word, sob. E-cookies for anyone who a) makes it all the way through this chapter, and b) catches my nod(s) to The Hobbit. |3

A/N: And since this is movieverse!Thor and therefore there IS no “canon” RE: Svartalfheim and the Dark Elves …I really just Did What I Want. |D In Norse mythology most of the time the Dark Elves seem to basically = Dwarves, but that’s not the case in the Marvelverse, so I went with that. Dwarves have their own planet, Nidavellir.

A/N: ...This is going to be WAY longer than I'd first thought. Probably ten chapters, total. And this is the chapter that outs me as a total fight h0r. |D

A/N: ...fffff What is this why am I even. And A CHAPTER-FIC NO LESS. Ah well...I saw this prompt and the plot bunny came at me like the Killer Rabbit in that Monty Python movie--latched on and wouldn't let go, took no prisoners, blood everywhere, general messy business. BUT SUCH IS A WRITER'S LIFE.

A/N: ...Heh, I wrote this as the 3rd person sample for an app (and I was accepted~), so I figure it's okay to post this here now. :3 My first DGM fic! :D

Summary: Uchiha Sasuke reluctantly accepts Princess Sakura’s invitation, and he and Haruno Sakura pay a visit to the Cat’s Eye Café--proprietor: one Fai D. Flowright. Of course, had Sasuke known anything about the blonde magician, particularly the fact that he was never one to resist a chance to get in some (mostly) good-natured teasing, the last Uchiha would never have set foot in the place.

WARNINGS: CRACK. CROSSOVER. FLUFF. RP TIE-INS. MY WEIRD SENSE OF HUMOUR. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

A/N: …THIS MONSTROSITY EXISTS BECAUSE its_game_time SORT OF TWISTED MY ARM INTO DOING IT and I was like AH HELL WHY NOT, and then…I shoved it away into my Documents file and tried to forget about it…but that didn’t work, so I gave up and gave in and just started writing…and then IT JUST KEPT GOING, a-and oh heavens, IDEK…I…I have no viable excuses, really…other than PHASE AND RP MADE ME DO IT, and this thread is both relevant and largely to blame. And so is this one and this one, both of which led up to that other (ASS-KICKING!) one. …So. So YEAH. /POINTS FINGERS AT!! 8|

……Also, to anyone who may care, YES OKAY FINE I ADMIT IT I am 130% a Fai/Sakura shipper. DEAL WITH IT & DON’T BITCH, OR DON’T READ & DON’T BITCH, YOUR CHOICE.

Additional Confessions: ...I was horribly tempted to add in Mokona, but he wasn’t a part of Phase’s prompt…and let’s face it, if I’d put him in, this fic would’ve ended in less than two pages in Word with both Sakuras running off with Mokona and leaving the boys high and dry. Because Mokona is a PIMP. CANON TRUFAX. Though TBH, Fai/Mokona (…or would it be Mokona/Fai?) is almost sort of canon, they get along so well. |D

And I may or may not have had WAY too much fun writing Fai in this piece. |D
