cryogeist Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Why not just run the gauntlet yourself? Much more interesting that way (especially reading shit ones with your friends) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 If you mean fluff as in shipping and such, then the only one of my fics that doesn't have a trace of that is The Legend of the Emerald King, a oneshot. Otherwise, I'm afraid I have no suggestions since pretty much all of what I read has some form of romance. xP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S_Cero Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Well, if you want a serious answer to the topic title then I recommend Queen of Sorrow. It's a fic about Elincia if Lucia had not been save by the Greil Mercenaries. There's pretty much no fluff and more about tragedy. Though I wouldn't say it's enjoyable in a traditional sense but more of how it is written and the concept. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5465572/1/Queen-of-Sorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 RJW: Probably fics that were finished after they got started. A dead fic would be one that the author abandoned without completing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJWalker Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) I recommend all (yes, all) of Mark of the Asphodel's fics. Some can be fluff but some are dead serious. Edited April 23, 2014 by Ranger Jack Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Banzai Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 ThraciaUV is dead. Why you don't continue that?! That was awesome! it's not dead at any time I may post the next chapter, which has been finished for about 6 months now I took a two-year hiatus midway through FESSUV before I returned and finished it, so keep that in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbalina's Revenge Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 If not, just ignore the "or dead" part. Here's a wildly popular "dark" tactician story. Here's a non-fluffy Magvel story. What else d'you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amielleon Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Lecture first, rec second. Lecture: Chances are, if you want one really specific fic that caters to your specific favorite characters/pairings/themes and is exactly as long as you want and is seen through to the finish, you'll probably have to do it yourself. All writers write about their specific favorite characters/pairings/themes and they have their own sensibilities about appropriate length and their own priorities in terms of what gets finished. It's fairly unlikely in a fandom of this size for someone else to happen to want to write the exact fic you want. Recommendation: While not exactly what you've been asking for, the "dark" tactician story that Cymbalina mentions might be to your liking. It's technically a one-shot, but at over 6000 words it'll keep you busy for a bit. It takes a bunch of tactician fic cliches and mixes them around in a weird way. FWIW I think a lot of what "good" fic means has to do with taste. That dark tactician fic author's other work involves a lot of feminist stuff and questions about relationships and probably isn't what you want, but that one fic is more about secrets and superpowers and seems to appeal to a lot of people (and has absolutely nothing to do with feminism). EDIT: Although this one's entire point is basically "people die if they are killed" so idk maybe it's relevant to your interests. I think it's dull. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6307788/1/No-One-Owns-the-Rain Edited April 23, 2014 by Amielleon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel M Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) The only Fire Emblem fanfic you'll ever need. On a side note - some are not bad. Elibian Nights is good. Edited April 23, 2014 by Colonel M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBM Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I would recommend Shimizu Hitomi's 1-shots, most of which center on FE6/FE7. Most of them have romance in some way, but I wouldn't call any fluffy (most are angsty if anything). They're not full-length fics but eh, definitely worth a read. My favourite ones are A Thousand Snows, Through the Glass Darkly, Little Lark, and Nightingale. There was another one-shot that featured DARK MICAIAH called Pawn King, which I enjoyed as well (by a different author though). As for full-length ones, to be honest the only completed full length ones I ever remember reading are Queen of Sorrow and this Valter/OC/Ephraim one. It's not quite as bad as it sounds, although it does have a lot of issues. Can't remember its name but it shouldn't be too difficult to find. It's romance-centric but not too fluffy. There's also this one that focuses on Canas and his wife. I don't think I ever finished it because it had no plot, but the writing wasn't bad (insomuch as you can separate the writing from the plot). There was a novella (like 7 chapters I think) focusing on Sain and Kent. Sain gets injured on a scouting mission and Kent has to bring him back. It sounds like a perfect setup for Kent x Sain but it actually isn't. Nothing amazing but decent. These are all on fanfiction.net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I'm writing a fic centered around Sain and Kent. More so the former. There is one lovey-dovey scene between Sain and Fiora and Sain tries to get Kent to ask Florina out, but it isn't too fluffy besides. Just saying, I know the OP doesn't like self-promotion.
