Organized By Relationship (Familial, Platonic, or Romantic is indicated). All stories are rated either G or T (for language and/or thematic elements).

Links are to Tumblr posts unless otherwise specified.

Finral Roulacase and Asta (Friendship):

A Family Where There Once Was None -- In the future, the Black Bulls gather together at the beach with their families causing Asta to reflect on his life's journey and the family he found along the way. Rated G.

A Mixer Mix-Up (AO3) -- As things quickly go from bad to worse at his mixer, Finral begins to believe his once perfect evening couldn't possibly get any wackier. A surprise visit, however, quickly proves him wrong--but maybe that's not a bad thing... (Future Problems Series Story #2) Rated T for some language and thematic elements. Finral's POV.

Happy Accidents (AO3) -- The Black Bulls adopt a "Squad Baby" (in the best scenario I could come up with)! Black Bulls Family Fluff (Vanessa's familial relationships with Noelle, Luck, Charmy, Asta & especially Yami are the major focus. Secre is important in the end & Finral is trying his best, bless his heart) Minor ships since Noelle is so fun to tease & Asta loves babies (Noelle/Asta) and it's unbelievably actually their kid (Vanessa/Finral). T for some language & thematic elements.

It’s a Future Problem -- Random items are appearing and disappearing through spatial portals throughout the Black Bulls' hideout causing more chaos among the squad than usual. Finral swears his innocence despite an overwhelming amount of evidence to the contrary and is bewildered by his own collection of treasures that keep inexplicably turning up on his desk. However, when the squad teams up to set a trap to catch the mysterious mischief-maker, they get much more than they bargained for. Perhaps there are some mysteries that are better left unsolved... Rated T for some language. Finral's POV.

Portals and Potatoes -- The Black Bulls' potato pie eating contest is well underway, and Finral is trying his best to figure out how to make his pile of potato pies disappear. Luckily, some surprise guests arrive just in time to help him out with that... [Fluff and time travel shenanigans for (even more) self-indulgent kicks and giggles]. Rated G (Future Problems Series Story #3). Finral's POV.

Also Included In (But None of These Are Finral-Centric):

A Family Where There Once Was None -- In the future, the Black Bulls gather together at the beach with their families causing Asta to reflect on his life's journey and the family he found along the way. Rated G.

First Christmas -- This year the Black Bulls are going all out for the holidays because it's their nephew's first Christmas! Charlotte may still be getting used to her chaotic new family, but she and Yami agree that it's very sweet the new "aunts and uncles" are going out of their way to make the holiday season truly special for their son. (Charlotte/Yami, Charmy/Rill, Vanessa/Finral, Asta/Noelle, and Gauche/Grey). Rated G.

Finral Roulacase and the [Early] Black Bulls: Gordon, Vanessa, & Yami (Family/Friendship):

A Bird in the Rain (AO3) -- Yami doesn't know what to make of the poor girl who followed him home from the Forest of Witches and unbelievably, still hasn't left yet. When the Black Bulls get caught in a torrential downpour in the middle of nowhere, however, he gets to see a completely new side of her (and his squad as well). Maybe she belongs with them after all. Black Bulls Family Fluff. T for some language.

Make A Wish -- When Yami, Gordon, and Finral realize they have somehow missed Vanessa's birthday, they take it upon themselves to celebrate with her late even though none of them know the slightest thing about throwing a birthday party... It's the thought that counts though, right? Rated G

Finral Roulacase and Charmy Pappitson (Friendship)

It’s a Future Problem -- Random items are appearing and disappearing through spatial portals throughout the Black Bulls' hideout causing more chaos among the squad than usual. Finral swears his innocence despite an overwhelming amount of evidence to the contrary and is bewildered by his own collection of treasures that keep inexplicably turning up on his desk. However, when the squad teams up to set a trap to catch the mysterious mischief-maker, they get much more than they bargained for. Perhaps there are some mysteries that are better left unsolved... Rated T for some language. Finral's POV.

Pancakes for Dinner -- Is it some “serious pining,” lingering heartbreak, or something else entirely that is preventing Finral from showing Charmy's delicious noms the proper attention they deserve? Charmy, Rill, & Vanessa are teaming up to find out! (Charmy/Rill pairing & maybe(?) Vanessa/Finral if you want to see it...) Rated G

Portals and Potatoes -- The Black Bulls' potato pie eating contest is well underway, and Finral is trying his best to figure out how to make his pile of potato pies disappear. Luckily, some surprise guests arrive just in time to help him out with that... [Fluff and time travel shenanigans for (even more) self-indulgent kicks and giggles]. Rated G (Future Problems Series Story #3). Finral's POV.

Finesse Calmreich and Finral Roulacase (Friendship):

From the Ground Up -- The last thing Langris wants is to intrude on Lady Finesse’s birthday. When she asks him to stay and spend the afternoon with her, however, he can’t find it in him to deny her—even if he can’t understand why she wouldn’t rather just spend her birthday with Finral and his perfect gift. He has always felt wedged into their story where he didn’t belong, but he might just discover that he is the only one who feels this way. Maybe there is a place for him in the story after all… Rated G.

Sweet Like Cherries -- Domestic and Family Fluff in a future where Finesse is married to Langris and Finral is married to Vanessa. Rated T for one bad word but otherwise just fluffy.

Mentioned In:

Through A Rainy Window -- Langris and Finesse become friends while adjusting to Finral’s absence and their arranged marriage betrothal. Rated G

Finral Roulacase and Finesse Calmreich (Love/Friendship):

I’ll Be Waiting (AO3) -- Finral shouldn't have been surprised--he had known it all along that it would be Langris who would one day be the heir to House Vaude. He had expected it, but that didn't mean it hurt any less. He had no choice now but to leave home. There was no place for him here. He knew he should just slip out quietly without drawing too much attention to himself, but there was one other person he wanted to say goodbye to...even though she was now officially engaged to his brother. Or a take on why Finral apologizes to Lady Finesse for “making her wait again.” Rated G. Finral's POV.

Treasures -- When Finesse falls ill, Finral wants to send her a gift to show her that he's thinking of her and wishing her well. Of course, this is easier said than done... Rated G. Finral's POV.

Mentioned In:

Portals and Potatoes -- The Black Bulls' potato pie eating contest is well underway, and Finral is trying his best to figure out how to make his pile of potato pies disappear. Luckily, some surprise guests arrive just in time to help him out with that... [Fluff and time travel shenanigans for (even more) self-indulgent kicks and giggles]. Rated G (Future Problems Series Story #3). Finral's POV.

Spite -- "Did you just kiss me out of spite?" Never in a million years would Langris have ever believed there was anything in the world that could have possibly led him to a moment in which that drunk witch would be saying those words to him. But somewhere between too many drinks making him honest and revelations from Finral regarding his relationship with Finesse drudging up something he had long kept buried, Langris lost his grip on his tightly guarded emotions and began to live the impossible. And Vanessa was not going to let him off so easy for it [OR There are a lot of very good reasons that Langris Vaude doesn't drink. This is the story of one of them]. Rated T for Language (including some crude insults), Drunkenness, and Descriptive Depiction of Kissing.

Wine Therapy (AO3) -- Backstory for how Langris and Vanessa became friends (post-series). Rated T for some language

Note: This pairing is also mentioned and briefly discussed as a past-relationship that didn’t work out in Pancakes for Dinner and Sweet Like Cherries

Finral Roulacase and Langris Vaude (Family/Friendship):

A Mixer Mix-Up (AO3) -- As things quickly go from bad to worse at his mixer, Finral begins to believe his once perfect evening couldn't possibly get any wackier. A surprise visit, however, quickly proves him wrong--but maybe that's not a bad thing... (Future Problems Series Story #2) Rated T for some language and thematic elements. Finral's POV.

Birthday Buddies -- Langris may share a birthday with his nephew, but he is more than happy to relinquish the day to him. His dumb brother and his son, however, have other ideas… Rated G.

Breaking the Cycle -- When Finral comes to him for help and advice after his daughter presents with an extremely powerful offensive spatial magic, Langris is forced to confront memories he would rather forget in order to comfort his niece and help his brother be better than their parents ever were. The cycle stops with them. Rated T for Langris and Finral's childhood trauma: both implied and depicted in a flashback.

From the Ground Up -- The last thing Langris wants is to intrude on Lady Finesse’s birthday. When she asks him to stay and spend the afternoon with her, however, he can’t find it in him to deny her—even if he can’t understand why she wouldn’t rather just spend her birthday with Finral and his perfect gift. He has always felt wedged into their story where he didn’t belong, but he might just discover that he is the only one who feels this way. Maybe there is a place for him in the story after all… Rated G.

Little Wonders (AO3) -- Eight-year-old Finral Vaude just wants to play with his set of little tin Magic Knight figurines—hopefully, joined by Langris if his little brother will ever stop studying. However, when an unexpected visitor inexplicably appears at House Vaude, the quiet day the spatial brothers had been expecting is suddenly turned upside-down. (Family fluff and brotherly bonding for Little Finral and Little Langris) Rated G. Finral's POV.

Melting Snowman -- 9-year-old Langris Vaude has never liked the cold and would much rather spend his winter days curled up inside by the fire. Thanks to his snow-loving brother and cousin, however, Langris finds himself roped into a day of snowman building, snowball fights, and snow angels. But maybe that isn’t the worst thing ever... Rated G.

Spite -- "Did you just kiss me out of spite?" Never in a million years would Langris have ever believed there was anything in the world that could have possibly led him to a moment in which that drunk witch would be saying those words to him. But somewhere between too many drinks making him honest and revelations from Finral regarding his relationship with Finesse drudging up something he had long kept buried, Langris lost his grip on his tightly guarded emotions and began to live the impossible. And Vanessa was not going to let him off so easy for it [OR There are a lot of very good reasons that Langris Vaude doesn't drink. This is the story of one of them]. Rated T for Language (including some crude insults), Drunkenness, and Descriptive Depiction of Kissing.

Sweet Like Cherries -- Domestic and Family Fluff in a future where Finesse is married to Langris and Finral is married to Vanessa. Rated T for one bad word but otherwise just fluffy.

Wine Therapy (AO3) -- Backstory for how Langris and Vanessa became friends (post-series). Rated T for some language.

Your Burdens Are Not Yours Alone -- In the midst of another sleepless night in the infirmary, Langris decides to take a walk to try to clear his head, only to discover someone else has had the same idea. His brother is probably the last person he wants to see right now, and he can't imagine what in the world Finral has to be up worrying about. He never would've imagined that they were being haunted by the same tragedy… Rated T for discussion of death, depiction and discussion of grief, and mild discussion of injuries.

[Briefly] Mentioned In:

I’ll Be Waiting (AO3). Finral's POV.

Yellow Flowers (AO3)

Finral Roulacase and Luck Voltia (Friendship):

Black Bulls Family Fluff. Rated T for some language.

A World Without You (AO3) -- Vanessa grows concerned for Finral when he begins to act tense and distant after they return from the Forest of Witches. In her attempts to comfort him, however, she may find some comfort of her own. Rated T for discussion of death, near-death experiences.

Brighter Than the Sunrise -- Yami isn’t sure who is to blame for scaring off that poor girl who had the misfortune of following him of all people back to his hideout from the Forest of Witches. If anything, he finds it hard to believe that Vanessa stuck with him and his ragtag Bulls for as long as she did. He had expected to wake up and find that the room he had offered her the previous night was now empty. What he hadn’t expected was that she would leave her shoes behind… Rated G.

It’s a Future Problem -- Random items are appearing and disappearing through spatial portals throughout the Black Bulls' hideout causing more chaos among the squad than usual. Finral swears his innocence despite an overwhelming amount of evidence to the contrary and is bewildered by his own collection of treasures that keep inexplicably turning up on his desk.

Finral's POV.
