    Days Gone By: A Memoir of the Gallian Front

    Gregor absolutely is. Out of all the Drei Stern, he's the one who understands the ugliest parts of war. He doesn't seem to revel in it, but sees it as a necessary machine of conquest, which is arguably worse than him just being a sadist. He believes in running a cost-effective, efficient, swift...

    …it’s a strange thing, war. Kill a dozen men, be called a hero. Burn a building to the ground, be showered in accolades. Butcher a good man, a good leader, be remembered as a legend. Any other world, any other time, and we’d be known as monsters, but here, in this strange time, and this strange...

    Days Gone By: A Memoir of the Gallian Front

    I admit that I've been drawing from the MGS series in writing style for a while now. In a lot of ways I love just how deeply personal the series is in it's musings on the nature of war, something I tend to think about a lot. Gregor knows kind like kind. Whereas Radi was the chivilary of war...

    …there was always a brutal arithmetic to war. How many bodies, bullets and bandages it cost to make the enemy sue for peace, to give up, to surrender. Before it had been measured in trench lines, in gas attacks and sweeping machinegun nests. Then, it was measured in tank shells and tracks, in...

    Days Gone By: A Memoir of the Gallian Front

    This is an interesting question. Early on in the planning process of this fic I had to decide how I was going to handle this topic, since a lot of people kind of expect this sort of thing. Eventually I decided though that to keep with the theme and tone of the story, any innovations would be...

    Funny thing is he really could build a weapon to surpass metal gear here and it would fit in perfectly with the setting too.

    Hey now, remember that in Valkyria Chronicles murder is a team exercise! Why should one person have all the fun when everyone can?

    And blood you shall have! Things are getting very personal for Jerry very soon hehehe. I appreciate the compliment. Believe me when I say things get a little… heated when things pop off.

    …I still recall the stench of those sewers, the cloying blackness that swallowed us as we moved through the sick underbelly of Western Vasel. The Regulars had abandoned it without a fight, one more sin to add to the pile, and left it to the Militia to pay the blood price to bring it back. Radi...

    Days Gone By: A Memoir of the Gallian Front

    Oh that fun train ain't stopping any time soon. It's Valkyria Chronicles. Darcsens are called darkies because of their universally oil-black hair. There's a lot of racism directed towards them because of religious reasons, but overall they're an expy for Jewish people. VC1 was a lot more...

    AN: So this is a rarity. A note before the story. You may notice that I’ve abandoned the first person perspective in this set of chapters, and there’s a reason for that. This fic went on a two month hiatus while I tried to refresh and find new motivation in making this work, and the biggest...

    Good catch! Hm, shit, one second. Thank you! EDIT: And... fixed!

    I appreciate the feedback. I might see about doing something to smooth the transition, maybe give a Young Justice style time and date stamp.

    Old Glory (Original Work) (Military Fantasy)

    This was a kind of a deliberate decision. The four chapters of prologue were important, but felt very info-heavy, so I decided to open up with a an action mystery sort of thing to give everyone a taste of the action too. I took a little inspiration from the opening to Appleseed in that way...
