Introduction

Hey. I'm CorpseBrigadier, Final Fantasy Tactics aficionado and recovering lit nerd. This originally started out as a place to put my exchange letters, but it now veers into my day to day life. Hit me up if you want to be friends or send me some cool GIFs or something. Feel absolutely free to comment on public posts and to follow me; I'll probably follow back.

Yuletide Roundup

So yeah... my Yuletide was absolutely insane in how good it was. I loved what I made. I adored what I got. I really just feel like I won the exchange all around, and I've been left entirely psyched about my decision to get back into fandom last year.

My Gifts

"The Release of Selinuntius" by Nedrika (Hashire Melos! | Melos/Selinuntius and Melos/Selinuntius/Raisa, Explicit, 19K | Graphic Violence, Non-Con, Underage): a brilliant post-canon piece featuring tons of smut; mind-bogglingly perfect, edutaining research into the ancient world; all sorts of whumptastic descriptions of injury and angst, and a general fix-it for the less than satisfying elements of the film's end.

"He Bearing Ill Tidings" by FireEye (Final Fantasy Tactics | General, 5K): A lovely, angsty short about Alma greeting Zalbag after the events at Ft. Zeakden and confronting him over Teta's death.

"ostentatio vulnerum" by moemachina (Final Fantasy Tactics, Wiegraf/Zalbag, Mature, 9K): a pre-canon piece set during the Fifty Years War and featuring my favorite, completely bizarre rarepair (in addition to pretty much every other character in the game I deeply love); features absolutely breathtaking characterization and worldbuilding, insanely hot/awkward sexual encounters under a blasphemous icon, and the best portrayal of Boco I have ever encountered.

My Works

I wrote four stories and drew one Madness Treat. They are all Final Fantasy of some flavor, because that’s just how I roll these days.

"Poisons" for Phlyarologist (Final Fantasy VI | Teen, 2.8K | Character Death): A sort of experimental double drabble sequence examining the planned game event in which Sabin had the possibility of dying at Tzen.

"Mantra" for Phlyarologist (Final Fantasy VI | General, 2.1K): A short post-canon piece about life at Mobliz, the death of magic, and Gau’s reactions to potatoes.

Bloom for Lirillith (Final Fantasy VI | Sabin/Cyan, General, Art): I’ve joined what seems to be the increasingly exchange-active crowd of people who ship Sabin and Cyan and filled somebody’s Wrapping Paper request to draw these guys.

"Like There’s No Tomorrow" for Rethira (Final Fantasy Tactics | Delita/Ramza, Teen, 1.4K | Character Death): A post-canon Delita/Ramza piece set around the time of Olan’s execution.

"Fetters" for noahfronsenburg (Final Fantasy Tactics | Mature, 10K | Graphic Violence, Character Death): Very dark darkfic (character death and graphic violence archive warnings) focusing on Wiegraf in an AU in which he wins the boss fight at Riovannes.

Other Recommendations

"Guacamole Excitement Hyperbole" by cartesiandaemon (General, 1.6K) and "Your New Ship and You!: An Owner’s Manual" by merriman (G, 2.5K): Hilarious takes on the frustration inherent to the phone game Spaceteam.

"Metamorphosis" by Lirillith (Final Fantasy VI | Teen, 2.5K): An exploratory take on Terra in the World of Ruin.

"The Falconer" by GwendolynGrace (Ladyhawke | Etienne/Isabeau, Etienne/Bishop, Teen, 13K): A long pre-canon piece rife with historical research and messed up power dynamics.

"The Wrecking Crew" by Kahvi (Blackwell Games | Roseangela/Joey, Teen, 5.4K): Wonderfully true to canon casefic

"4.66920[...]” by karanguni (Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia | Thomasina/Septimus, General, 1.8K): Holy heck, it’s mathematically-based Arcadia fix it fic.
