First fic of 2020~. Gave Chocolate Box a try. The low word count requirement eased a lot of the pressure. o/ BTW, my Heinwald in the game now has 9.5k might. A 9.5k might healer. Beautiful. ;D

Title: Business as Usual
Fandom: Dragalia Lost
Words: 2,229
Summary: In which Heinwald and Curran bicker a lot, and Heinwald gets lured by a mystery, only to be distracted by a different one.
Notes: for Pluralforce for chocolateboxcomm 2020. Heinwald x Curran. All the banter! o/ Dialogue heavy fic. Humor.

Parallels ran so smoothly~. Here's the fic I wrote!

Title: My Best Friend's Heart Was Broken So Now I'm Trying to Cheer Him Up
Fandom: Dragalia Lost
Words: 2,717
Summary: Ranzal thinks Luca got his heart broken by Aoi. It's all a misunderstanding, really, but Ranzal sets out to cheer Luca up. It includes sneaking into the kitchen together because food always makes everything better. And Luca always has the largest grins on those escapades. Ranzal/Luca
Notes: This was originally titled "Cheer Up" before I decided that since this was such a fluffy fic, I might as well give it a silly name, so I gave it a very light novel'ish name, ahaha. Written for kalloway for parallelsfic 2019. Based off of Dragalia Life #116, the Newlywed Ninja, which can be read over here. The story also takes bits of inspiration from the Dragalia Lost castle stories, That Special Day Part One, Two, and Three, but the gist is that a bunch of them are preparing for three fake weddings in a wedding battle to see which wedding is better.

Got back into Dragalia Lost last month when they dropped that surprise announcement about a crossover with Fire Emblem Heroes, and I'm loving it! It's especially great that there are a bunch of cool female and male adventurers who are equally strong and not lopsided in favor of the girls like in FEH. So far, much hype with all the quality updates, though I'll have to see if I can balance playing two phone games at once. XD; At least FEH isn't taking up as much time anymore now that I've gotten to Tier 21 in Aether Raids. Maintaining the tier is pretty chill.

I couldn't quite get into DL when it first released around 6 months ago (the maps felt tedious and I was lost and without any good units), but last month introduced auto and 2x speed for much easier grinding, and I also rolled some cool adventurers. Though I didn't get the free 5* as a new player, since I continued with my old account that had nothing in it.. By the time I learned that I'd get a free 5* as a new player, I'd already rolled and got Curran and some 5* dragons I wanted to keep. So yeah, dragons. *___*

Went with Rykatu as my nickname in this, since we're actually naming Prince Eugene, who can make pacts with dragons. Rykatu fits better. XD;


Anyway, the FEH crossover event is so good. I'm excited for future crossovers now. The story events so far have reminded me why I love crossovers in fiction, and now to see it in a game, with the characters in all new situations? Really cool feeling. (I also found out that Granblue Fantasy, also by Cygames, had a crossover with Detective Conan?? I would've gotten into GBF for that haha!)

Some stuff I'm enjoying a ton about this FEH crossover:
*the crossover music (A Fire Emblem rap on the main menu, omg), title screen has the same music as FEH's title screen, there's a different soundtrack when we turn into dragons, amazing music in the story scenes, etc etc.
*In the boss trial, Alfonse uses moves like Growing Light and Rising Light, just like the 5 turn AOE specials in FEH, and they show up like patterned boxes to imitate the grids in FEH. Love this touch!
*The difficulties are named after FEH difficulties too, like lunatic and infernal.
*Story event gives Alfonse, Fjorm, Marth, Veronica, and Loki all great characterization.

The Alfonse boss fight was insane. One hit by him, and everyone's dead. I joined a co-op room for this battle using Heinwald. Host was a Curran player. We kept at it failure after failure until we finally triumphed. \o\ Was a great feeling to join a room that didn't give up after the failures. Loved working together to learn the battle.
