Spoilers for Tales of the Abyss

[(Anonymous)]

I had this slow-burn/political-intrigue longfic planned out and started, that sort of...idk, fizzled out on me? I think I psyched myself out because it was going to have a pairing featured in it that was *nonexistent* in the fandom, and I was afraid of the reaction.

It was an AU based on the premise of Asch and Luke both dying at Akzeriuth, and the rest of the prophecy on the Seventh Fonstone coming true-- the story beginning at the siege of Malkuth by Kimlascan forces, and Peony's death at their hands. It was going to revolve mostly around Jade (trying to come up with *some way* to keep Malkuth from crumbling, while absolutely *not dealing* with the death of his best friend) and Nephry, who Jade basically puts on the throne in Peony's stead through some clever forgeries (making it look as though Peony had married her in secret for this exact purpose).

I had *so much* planned for it, involving the rest of the cast and this big plot, but the said pairing I had in there was Jade/Nephry, and I was really worried about blowback over it. :(

I'd actually read that. I'm falling out of Tales fandom, but as a Jade fan, that sounds really interesting!

Thank you for saying so! I'd love to get my motivation back for it, honestly. I still think about it a lot, and I think the Abyss-specific fandom has cooled off enough that even a basically unheard-of pairing like Jade/Nephry wouldn't get TOO torn apart. But it's hard to get started again, especially since I don't really have anyone left to bounce ideas off about it. :(

As much as I'd like to offer ideas back, I'd be bad at it, too. T_T It's been a while since I played it/watched it, my head is crowded with other fandom ideas, and my life is too hectic to be a reliable beta or something. But I really wish you luck with it if you give it a shot, and if you do post it somewhere, please feel free to throw me a link!

I don't know why people get so angry about ships, when if someone doesn't like something, they should just go read the ones they do like. I'm all for dark twists and unconventional ships as long as thought is put into things. Someone out there is going to like what you write, I promise.

That really means a lot to me; thank you so much. Maybe I'll give it a shot after all!
