Real talk. I've been writing this series of short fan works for a while now, but I only now worked up the courage to post them.
My mom passed on last month, and it made me realize how damn short life really is. Short enough not to regret silly things like this. I shouldn't be embarrassed about being creative.
So, my PFS Character #86016-8 is Orion of Siam, an Undine Alchemist made with a boon I received as a present from a former GM. On his first adventure for the Society, Orion met Grandmaster Torch...
And this series of abominations was spawned. Part adventure log, part fan fiction, I've spent far too long writing these. At this point, it would be a shame NOT to share them.
The Google Doc link is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10N-ZhQX6S0vhdLiC80I_CbjBXGTEkr9rfKAuG3E Nj-g/edit?usp=sharing
The document is properly bookmarked, the stories are in roughly chronological order, and I left out my all my AU and NSFW work.
Any and all comments and feedback are welcome, even if it is just you telling me that I'm disgusting scum with a perverted mind.

Well, this is pretty interesting. While reading it, I kept having to remind myself that Torch looks like this and that his burns are actually real life burns (not exactly pretty, and pretty visually distinct from a normal human's body shape), as opposed to the image that kept popping up in my head as I was reading of some sort of anime mob boss with that red patch that the tend to use for scars/burns.
It's pretty well written, as a vague continuity of romantic drabbles goes. Bittersweet ending there as well.
Corruption takes place in Season 5 Scenario 12: Destiny of the Sands Part One.
In Exhaustion, Orion had just finished the Season 6 Scenario ?? something of the something something part two something Quarry (the one with the frog guys and the Aspis Consortium goons embracing their true calling as Indian Jones villains).
I will now spend an excessive amount of time trying to figure out which scenario has gossip about Ambris and the Paracountess.
I had never heard of bowling for Soup before today, so I cannot immediately answer this question.
I don't own every scenario, and even checking through all the ones I do own sounds rather excessive to find a single character. I'll answer with a firm maybe here.
Substitute shows the start of a rather strange iteration of Season 7 Scenario 5: School of Spirits, the sequel to Season 0 Scenario 6: Black Waters, is a pretty fun scenario, but I think if I had had Grandmaster torch and a hungover Orion in the party when I did it, I would be to busy laughing to actually do the scenario. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have to do anything, as Torch is clearly cheating, he's far overlevelled for a 1-5.
Hair is probably Season 1 Scenario 13: Devil We Know Part 2 Cassomir's Locker. First scenariothat comes to mind when I think of Derro, slaves, and sewers. My memory is hazy as that of a goldfish with a drug problem, but I think one of my characters might have done that one with Orion.
I'm not as certain as I'm for the other ones, as I have yet to play it myself, but I think that scenario that takes place before the Useless snippet is (probly) Portal of the Sacred Rune.
Who's the crazy one, the person who writes fanfiction of an Undine alchemist's romance with Grandmaster Torch, or the person who reads that fanfic, and then spends a half hour figuring out the answers a trivia questions based off it?

Glad you took the time to read it! Your feedback means a lot.
My version of Torch is best envisioned as an anime character? Sweet, my work here is done.
I didn't think anyone would actually read this monstrosity, never mind answer the quiz. Thrilled isn't even the word right now. So, your results:
Corruption: Correct!
Exhaustion: Correct - it's Kaava Quarry, the second part of Scions of the Sky Key.
Fraternizing: The scenario in question is The Disappeared - I'm pretty sure I ran that one for you, actually.
Vacation: The song is "Couple of Days". Don't worry, I've never actually met anyone who's heard of BFS.
Idiot: As much as I wish she was, Magda isn't actually a Society NPC - none of the scenario writers are THAT crazy. Just me.
Substitute: Correct and Correct! Yeah, Torch is totally overleveled for it, but he's technically restricted to using Orion's abilities, and at that time, they weren't exactly great.
Hair: Correct! Also, yep, I'm pretty sure Brian ran that one for us.
Useless: Actually, that one was Storming the Diamond Gate - it's super lethal when the GM ignores the tactics.
Who's the crazy one? Pretty sure it's still me.
