Anyway, the amount of work and dedication the author puts into it really shines through, with him slipping in information about how the wider culture works, as well as setting up XanatosGambit upon XanatosGambit from every direction. While the characterization [[BaseBreaker has turned some readers off]], it nevertheless stands as a proud achievement for the FFVIII fandom.

* ''Pairings'': N/A (or every woman for herself with squall)
* ''Synopsis'': the hilarious and absolutely self-effacing tale of what takes place after FFVIII ends, "the stalker's log" is the tale of Fuujin as she scales walls, hides under beds and fights off hordes of female ninjas,[[FinalFantasyVII people who have been stabbed through the stomach]] and others, all just to get her love to notice her.
* ''Comments'': a very good story, with plenty of well placed humor, mostly derived from other games by squaresoft/square enix. Traingham is also a master of using plot holes from the original game for situational humor (such as the character named "zell's girlfriend"). all in all, i'd give this a 9/10, with the 10 dropped because of his '''ludicrously''' slow update rate (roughly once every 4-5 months).

* All of the [=FF8=] stories by this author are incredibly well-written and engrossing. The majority are M-rated Seifer/Squall fics, yet most of them are easy to picture happening in the game. ''Protecting the Lion'' remains my favorite [=FF8=] story to date.

*Recommended by @/TheGirlRed
* ''Synopsis'': A different spin on the whole OC gets sucked into the game. I don't want to give too much away, but the OC gets body swapped with someone who already exists in the game universe. This story is in the beginning stages still, but is quite intriguing.
* ''Warnings'': OC, but the author has avoided the Mary Sue pitfall wonderfully so far.

* Crossover with HarryPotter
* ''Synopsis'': Harry Potter is a 5 year old kid that, after his Aunt insults him, runs away from home and wishes to be sent to some other place. An eclipse happens in that moment, and he is whisked away to a new world, where he will become a great soldier.
** ''Comments'': Follows the storylines of both the Harry Potter (up to HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban) and Final Fantasy VIII. Odin appears as a sort of wizard that travels between worlds. Harry becomes a warrior that is able to use both FFVIII magic and wizard magic. It features a very interesting story, one that even adds to the game.

* ''Synopsis'': What is the connection between Squall's ring Griever, and the Guardian Force? A sequel of sorts of the game itself which further explores Squall and Rinoa's relationship, the nature of Guardian Forces, and the origins of Griever.
* ''Comments'': In the midst of her creative explorations of how the sorceress-and-knight pairs work and what Guardian Forces really are, Larathia also nails characterization to the wall, not just for Squall and Rinoa but for everybody else down to the supporting characters, reminding me why I like all of them so much.
** Warning: contains a mostly non-explicit gang-rape as significant [[RapeAsDrama plot device]].

* ''Synopsis'': To regain the life he once knew, Squall Leonhart must face a foe impossibly alien... and as familiar as the back of his hand. Parodies don't always have to be funny.
* ''Comments'': To describe this story in any more detail than the synopsis does would ruin the surprise. Suffice it to say it is a horror take on a type of fic usually played for laughs or played painfully seriously and is really really excellent.

Small edit for objectivity; I can't speak for anyone else but I was turned off by the characterization because I did not find it mature.
