Fan Fiction (That is to say, fiction written by a fan)
I've written ridiculous quantities of Settlers fanfic over the past two years or so. Some of it's good, some of it isn't. Here's links to all the stories I've written that are considered "fanon" - ie., part of the timeline that we at Vestholm Castle have constructed, including a few "deleted fics" - unfinished stories that I've taken off FF.N that I never intend to complete, but I like keeping around for sentimental reasons and are actually important to the overall storyline.
(If you're looking for the non-canon and currently-on-hiatus fic, Time Lies, click here.)
Overture (deleted fic)
Was intended to cover the first two missions of the game, as well as Marcus and Alandra's first meeting. One chapter is in existence. Abandoned because I simply didn't and don't have the time nor inclination to finish it.
Hopeless Sincerity
"When Crimson Sabatt announces her intention to switch sides to the Knights, no one trusts her except Alandra. Is she truly turning, or is it all a plot against them?" Short story, first Settlers fanfic EVAH.
The Mathematics of Deceit
"Events at the tournament at Tios spiral out of control, forcing Marcus to make the decision of his life." Five chapters, my personal favourite of my Settlers fics, despite the very melodramatic summary.
Loyalty and Legend
"Kestral travels to Janub to help Hakim find the fabled royal regalia of Sahir al-Awan, but will what she finds there unite or divide the Knights of Darion?" Ten chapters, took almost a year to write, but I love it very much. The big reveal is referenced a lot in later fics, so read this one first if you don't want spoilers.
A whole lot of stuff takes place between fics here - the first game ends, the entire expansion plays out, and a heap of other people's fics happen, most notably "New Alliances", "The Eastern Realm" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" by Rockerduck (all currently down for maintenance); and "Velvet Battlefield" and "Time Heals" by heatherek. All of them are definitely worth a read before you keep going down this list, since all my fics past this point spoil a *lot* if you haven't.
Friendly Fire
"The Knights of Darion decide that Marcus and Alandra need a little help getting together, but not everything goes according to plan." Five chapters, spoilers for "New Alliances" and "The Eastern Realm" by Rockerduck.
Marcus' Law
"For a certain Knight of Darion, anything that can go wrong will." Short story, the logical end result of the 'if in doubt, torture Marcus' policy. Spoilers for "New Alliances" and "The Eastern Realm" by Rockerduck.
So Much We Share
"Altdarios is a small world after all." Short story, major spoilers for "Loyalty and Legend" and for "New Alliances" and "The Eastern Realm" by Rockerduck. Possible minor spoilers for "Time Heals" by heatherek, depending on how your mind works.
Okay, kids, this is where it gets complicated. There's *supposed* to be a very big, very epic story here involving an invasion of Westerlin and other dangerous stuff. However, it is, as far as I'm aware, not currently in progress and I've no idea who, if anyone, is actually going to write it. Stories set after this point will naturally contain massive spoilers for this unwritten concept, the most notable of which is that Crimson Sabatt can now be legitimately referred to as "Scarface", though I'd avoid calling her that if you want your innards to remain inside your body.
Something Blue (deleted fic)
"Future in-laws, younger siblings and bandits - Marcus and Alandra's engagement is anything but boring." Three chapters are in existence; abandoned for the same reasons as "Overture". Major major spoilers for unwritten invasion story, as well as for "New Alliances", "The Eastern Realm" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" by Rockerduck and "Time Heals" by heatherek.
So far, that's it, but another story, which will probably be my last Settlers fic (I might cry) is in the works, entitled "Long Live". Watch this space!
