Summary
The story begins like this:
There is a legend in Fontaine,
That every time the sky does rain,
It comes, not from wind, or cloud, or sky,
But from the great Hydro Dragon, feeling sad enough to cry.
Or,
In which Freminet, somehow, keeps running into none other than the Chief Justice himself.
Things all sort of begin to unravel from there.

Summary
AU Where Scaramouche is a heart eating cannibal with the power to make his victims fall in love with him.
Shikanoin Heizou is the lead detective on the case of a string of cannibalistic murders committed by a terrifying killer known as the Shinzo Kuishinbo (Heart Devourer). He has to balance the endless hours he commits to the case, his budding relationship with Kazuha after years of pining, and confusing feelings for a new friend named Kuzo. Meanwhile, Kazuha is falling rapidly in love with Kuzo, despite sensing that Kuzo is hiding a dark secret. He struggles with his feelings for this mysterious man, while holding on for dear life to his love for Heizou. All the while, Kuzo is pulling all the strings, playing them like a pair of puppets in a tragic romance.

Summary
For a while I've been making English "translations" of the lyrics to a bunch of the tracks from Nier: Replicant/Gestalt and Nier: Automata - creative interpretations of the "chaos language" lyrics to each game's soundtrack. Now I've got them collected here - how 'bout that?
As I choose not to use AO3's provided ratings system, note that content warnings apply for similar themes to those found in the Nier/Drakengard series proper. The Nier/Drakengard series does deal in heavy themes - themes of loss, mortality and existential despair - and I do attempt to broach those themes in my "translations." My Nier: Automata lyrics, in particular, have a depressing ending.
The transcriptions of the original lyrics of each track are generally sourced from elsewhere, sometimes with my own personal edits made to them. Unfortunately, most of those sources have come without credit for a transcription's original author. Some of my “translations” have notes attached, comprising commentary I’ve imagined for the in-universe histories and linguistics of the music being “translated” or discussion of the choices I’ve made for my “translations” and out-of-universe discussion of the tracks themselves.
