I used to have a list of in-progress fiction here, but I've decided to do away with that and make an introductory post instead. This journal is for my fanfiction, which is primarily in video game and manga fandoms (although I've recently expanded into television with Heroes). Navigation is to the far left in the tags, and stories are sorted by fandom and pairing.

I write in many pairings and genres, so please pay attention to warnings and listed pairings instead of reading and then complaining. Thank you!

My personal journal is at gamera.

This is what I wrote for Yuletide this year. Final Fantasy Tactics, gen (unless you really, really want to read it as Agrias/Ovelia). 1500-ish words. Title because I've always felt that Save the Queen not being a special sword for Agrias is ten levels of WTF. I was going for something vaguely Arthurian in this one, or at least very medieval courtly, with the lady's favor for her champion and all.

First of all: apparently I have not had comment notifications on for this journal, and didn't realize it. This has been rectified, so I will be much better at responding to comments than I have been for the past few months. My apologies to everyone who's commented without my seeing it!

Written for Roads Diverged's steampunk theme. The basic premise: Lilly is bratty and new-rich, Hugo is attending university in an attempt to "civilize" his barbarian Grasslander ways, and Belle is an engineer of delightful steampunk machines (if by "delightful" one actually means "Gadget ZX," that is). In short, what Team Hugo would be in a bad steampunk AU. 1800-ish words.

Written for the Roads Diverged challenge community on InsaneJournal, where I'm writing ten AUs for Suikoden III (of which this is the first). To use my summary there: written because there are just some characters from previous games that should have appeared in Suikoden III, but didn't (Nash "Married Man" Clovis waltzes in without his infamous missus? Luc and Futch get extra dialogue in the final dungeon, but Sasuke doesn't even make it into the game?). A series of drabbles. 5 x 100 words.

This is gen, although it does operate under the background assumption that Nash is married to Sierra. And although it's technically a Suikoden III fic, knowledge of some of the other games will help, particularly II and/or V.

( I. Sasuke: North Cavern; must have 84 Stars recruited, and bring Ayame and Futch. )

( II. Sierra Mikain: Alma Kinan; joins automatically in Chris chapter 3. )

( III. Lorelai: Sindar Ruins; must have 68 Stars recruited. )

( IV. Pesmerga: Budehuc Castle; joins automatically in Thomas chapter 2. )

( V. Zweig: Sindar Ruins; must have 84 Stars recruited and bring Lorelai. )

het_challenge repost 3/5. (See, I didn't wait months between them this time!)

1700-ish words. Pre-game and thus no spoilers, but not safe for work-- it's not overly explicit, but there is obvious sexual activity going on here. And while it is certainly not necessary to understand the story, knowledge of the first Suikoden game will give the opening dialogue some amusing context.

( From Three Rooms Away )

Er, when I said I was staggering my h_c stories, I didn't mean the delay would be this long! Anyway, here's my second repost.

2300-ish words, cute and fluffy but major spoiler warning for the latter part of the FMA manga. Minor edits from the original version in that I've changed "Olivia" to the official spelling "Olivier."

( Little Brothers and Little Sisters )

Time to get around to posting those het_challenge stories! I'll be staggering them so as not to flood anyone (I wrote five), and here's the first.

3400-ish words, Okita/Kagura, and no real warnings except for idiocy.


( Love is Getting Your Candy for Free )

So, while I take breaks from challenge fics I've been working on this piece. I felt like indulging myself with some rampant symbolism, and I've been wanting to play around with the concept of other harmonixers' graveyard equivalents for a little while now. So! 1900-ish words, Kurando's first meeting with Tsukiyomi. Spoilers up to visiting Inugami village (beyond the point in the game this takes place at) because this is from Kurando's POV and he has some knowledge at that point that the player doesn't.

And for a note: the mythological Tsukiyomi (kami of the moon) is in fact male. Kurando's speculation there is actually rooted in what he would have already known.

( The Flooding Dark )

I wrote a "five things that never happened to [character]" story and it's not even pornographic. I feel ashamed. (It was, originally! But that part's going to be its own fic because it was getting long.) Some very strong hints of demi-fiend/Isamu (hence the tag), especially in #4. Spoilers all over the place-- the big ones are at the Amala Temple, everything about Yuko and Aradia, and the neutral ending of the game. I'd peg it somewhere around a PG-ish rating, because there are mentions of unpleasant things but nothing overtly stated. Counting the notes at the end, it's around 3500 words.

Shin (full name Shinya Hirai, which is referenced once or twice) is my demi-fiend's name. I've chosen to use it over "Naoki," because my characterization of the demi-fiend is not the drama CD's characterization of the demi-fiend.

( Pure and Cruel )

And, if you want to read the notes: ( Here. )

This was written for the animadri Appreciation Week, because she organizes so many wonderful fic exchanges for fandom.

I've been wanting to take on post-Hueco Mundo Tatsuki/Orihime for awhile, but to do it from Orihime's POV (the one I'm far more comfortable in) would take far more than the maximum of 1000 words and more than the time left to get this out because of all the issues raised by chapter 231. So it's Tatsuki-centric instead, which was an intresting challenge for me. Very minor and vague spoilers for the Hueco Mundo arc. You're honestly probably not going to be spoiled here, but better safe than sorry, I guess.

G-rated, because these two always turn adorable and fluffy when I write them. It's a thing.
