Author/Artist: catdevigri
Fandom: Crossover - Puella Magi Madoka Magica x Suikoden III
Pairing/characters: Madoka & Sarah (Sarah->Luc)
Rating: PG
Warnings: Depressing, mention of suicide, possible Madoka Magica spoilers through Ep. 10
Word count: 656
Prompt/challenge you're answering: Madoka and Sarah, there are no strangers under cherry blossoms
Author's comments: 1) The title refers to a song by Matsu Takako that you can listen to here!
2) This is an alternate timeline/universe of Madoka Magica. ...and since I drew the picture first it didn't quite end up matching the story. ^^; Oh well.

( Those who hold onto hope, those who have let it go. )

Title: A Bouquet of Bread/A Forest of Friends
Author/Artist: catdevigri
Fandom: Crossover - Suikoden III x Tales of Legendia
Pairing/characters: Fenimore & Yun, Yuiri
Rating: PG
Warnings: some creepy imagery
Word count: 1,340
Prompt/challenge you're answering: Yun teaches Fenimore how to do something she is an expert at (and vice versa)
Author's comment: I wanted to have this one both ways, so this is actually two stories and two pieces of art. The first puts Yun into the ToL universe and the second puts Fenimore in the Suikoden world.

( Friends learn from one another. )

Title: To Tonic From Toxin
Author: catdevigri

Word count: 975
Prompt/challenge you're answering: Fenimore and Kimblee, pick your poison
Author's comment: Sequel to last year's Guardian! It just gets more disturbing, doesn't it? ^^; And this definitely leaves things open for more. Please just ignore me as I likely continue this next round. XD

Title: Promised Land
Author/Artist: catdevigri
Fandom: 'Liar-verse' - Fullmetal Alchemist/Suikoden III via the Ace Attorney universe
Pairing/characters: Kimblee, Yun, Maya, Machi (Kimblee/Machi, light Kimblee/Yun)
Rating: PG
Warnings: Self-indulgent weirdness, large age gaps
Word count: 1,119
Prompt/challenge you're answering: Yun and Kimblee, with the title "Promised Land"

Lengthy author's comments: So, my story is as such- At the beginning of the month I started my fic for my Kimblee/Machi prompt in the week 2 set, but it kept on growing, so I wasn't able to post it (and it's still not finished). Now, when I read this prompt, at first I planned on starting some completely unrelated Suikoden III/FMA crossover fic...but then I decided I didn't have any especially good idea for Yun and Kimblee in that context. However, adding Yun into the context of my post Apollo Justice FMA/AA crossover worked out nicely. So. This story will be related to the other one (and might make more sense once it's finished/posted).

Thank you for bearing with me. ^^;

Author's comments: A Sarah lives! AU. Possibly a starting point for a longer story of this nature. I've fooled around with the idea of Sarah surviving and ending up back in Harmonia before and I probably will again. Just maybe it will be coherent and interesting for once.
