Literary generations

*Not to be confused with Writing Years*

**Literary generations** distinguish pieces that replace other fictional works after they have concluded their original syndication. In the case of Coeur Al'Aran, most completed works are replaced with other works within two weeks after, although depending on circumstances, replacements could happen early due to Coeur meeting Patreon deadlines and some pieces are replaced with two pieces due to variance in update times.

All works have been listed in order that the first work of that generation emerged through when the last one ended.
