    Summary

    When Falcom made the early drafts for Sen no Kiseki, Class VII members were supposed to be officer cadets attending an officer school. Those plans were then discarded resulting in the Thors Military Academy we all know and love.

    This story is a reimagining of the Cold Steel Saga. A hypothetical scenario in which Falcom doesn't abandon their original plan. It includes an aged up Class VII and a more immediate plot compared to canon. There will also be more military themes, more politics, more character introspection and a breakdown of Kiseki orbal arts and martial arts.

    In other words: plot first, character development and worldbuilding second, romance third.

    Summary

    A series of interconnected longfics, multi-chapter, and one-shots serving as an extended character study, as well as deconstruction, of both Sara Valestein and Claire Rieveldt. Sometimes individually, sometimes together, sometimes canon-compliant, and sometimes canon-divergent, but always narrative foils with parallel arcs.

    All of the muddy morality and ethics surrounding them, the eternally impossible intersection of selflessness and selfishness, their complementary everything, their shared values and mentalities on essentially every topic including military tactics and justice, Sara existing as the personification of baffling pseudo-enlightenment by way of ascending beyond Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Claire's tendency towards self-flagellating delusion not to mention conflating guilt with self-hatred, and even Sara's penchant for gibberishtic axioms craft the foundation of a relationship and dynamic that is just begging to be explored on a massive scale.

    So, I did.

    In other words: Sara and Claire work on a level that is effectively cosmic and causality-breaking, and here are all of the reasons why.
