ＡＣ！Ｄ ＳＨＡＲＫ

I have, at this point, written or started writing about 66 individual works of fiction detailing the life and times of Aigead Siorc. A majority of these were written as a part of the FFXIVWrite events in 2022 and 2023.

As a little side project, I decided to see if I could put these stories together in a rough timeline covering the events of Aigead Siorc's life(/lives) over the course of The Canon We Know Of.

Thankfully a fair number of these stories cover actual events in the game, making them easy to place in the timeline. Others are entirely original stories but include references to specific events and characters that thankfully allow me to put them into relevant time periods. Others don't have any of that, but I'm able to more or less figure things out all the same. Oh, and then there's the, like, three stories that take place in entirely separate canons, so that's fun.

Currently, only one of these stories (The Serpent Betrayed by the Stars) is unfinished. It's sort of an alternate "bad end" fic so its presence isn't entirely necessary for understanding Aigead's tale, but I do plan to hopefully finish it as the concept is one I really like

The full list is below with links to each fic, BIG spoilers if you haven't played up through at least 6.4. Also I might swap some of them around if I think about it and realize they work better in different spots.
