This is the not-frequently-used fanfiction journal of inked_compass.

My main fandoms are Star Wars and Final Fantasy--generally the earlier games in that series. I tend to write short, single-entry stories that explore the "in-between" moments in canon or things that happened before the start of the story. I also like minor characters.

Feel free to friend this journal for updates if you'd like!

Title: Fair and Foul Fortune
Fandom: Final Fantasy III
Characters: Ingus, plus the other three Warriors of Light
Rating: PG
Summary: Being a Warrior of Light can be very harsh.
Author's Note: This is pretty shameless game meta. Happens to me at least ten times between dungeons, I swear.

Title: Phantoms
Characters: Faris, Krile, appearance by Lenna and Bartz
Rating: PG
Summary: Most people think it's bad to be haunted by the dearly departed. One Light Warrior wonders why she isn't.
Author's Note: The pronoun inconsistency with Faris (it changes between male and female) is a deliberate, since she's spent so many years being a man that she just thinks of herself as both or in-between now. And now the song from Mulan is stuck in your head.

( Damn the old man. )
