Summary
(Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition Chapter 13 spoilers)
"Is that....cherry? Yes, it really is.....from the country he loved so much."
“Nagi used to say the cherry blossoms were about impermanence. Life’s short. So what do you do? You live. You take your shot. You say the thing you’re afraid to say, do the thing you’re afraid to do.”
Nagi was being the best dad he could—quietly, but clearly, reminding Al that sometimes, you’ve just got to take the shot.

Summary
Bluffing his way through a poker game, Al’s luck runs out when Eclipse (Cross) deals him a crushing defeat—losing more than just the hand. The real wild card? Elma’s reaction: cold, unreadable, and enough to shift the tone of the entire game.
Later, Eclipse uncovers the depths of Al’s devotion to Elma’s iron will, and exacts a subtle but stinging revenge. In this tangled web of the “Princess” and the “Hotshot,” every victory comes at a cost.
Previously marked as complete - now added more (headcanon-ing) context and shenanigans behind the nicknaming saga.

Summary
“Al always said that people need a place to belong. Not like a location…or some specific address or whatever. It’s more, somewhere you’d keep coming back to. Somewhere people liked and trusted you.”
In New LA, a sci-fi debate between Al and Lin takes an unexpectedly personal turn, unearthing grief and unspoken wounds. As Eclipse (Cross) helps navigate the fallout, quiet conversations unfold—of lost family, rediscovered purpose, and bonds forged in unlikely places.
Meanwhile, Eclipse ropes Neilnail into a speculative genetics project imagining a Modern Samaarian-human hybrid. Expect glowing eyes, Punnett squares, and very questionable diagrams.
Through healing, chaos, and heartfelt laughter, one truth stands out: family isn’t always inherited—sometimes, it’s built.
Previously marked complete – supplementary manuscript now included for archival, scientific & humour purposes.

TW: This work contains implied depression, suicidal thoughts, and emotional trauma. Sensitive readers are advised.

As she faces the return of a lone hero and wrestles with doubt, Nagi’s quiet strength and enduring leadership remind her that sometimes true guidance happens not on the battlefield, but in the spaces between—to shape heroes and to heal.

When Skell fanfic infects New LA, logic and canon go up in flames. Al’s all in, Alexa goes full ALL CAPS, Elma drops lore bombs like a stealthy canon ninja, and Eclipse (Cross) turns the Bible into mech drama.

Summary
“On a cellular level, we all wake up as slightly different people everyday. It’s only because of the continuity of consciousness that we even perceive ourselves as ourselves.
“It’s all a fragile illusion.
“And until anyone proves we all have a soul—one better left to the philosophers—you’re right to have doubts…”
After recovering and uncovering the truth about humanity’s nature on Mira, Eclipse (Cross) wrestles with the revelation as best she can, with some guidance from her team leader, Elma.
What truly makes a person a person? The soul? The conscience? The body we were born into? Are we even humans anymore now that we know this?
Or perhaps… we are something more?

Elma's Backstory: [CLASSIFIED] by SpydaFingaz

Summary
“If you want to know a person’s past, give them cause to tell you about it.”
“Meh? What does Elma mean?”
“It means Elma will tell us about it when she’s good and ready.”
“It’s different now, anyway. I don’t have to charge in alone when I have a team like this.”
---
It started with two words: “Nah, bitch.”
Now Eclipse has a holo-corkboard, red string, and a personal war against the mystery of Who Taught Elma Slang™.
Canon-compliant headcanon. Mostly comedy, with one moment that slips past Elma’s walls — the kind Lin says were “meant to stay locked away.”Series
