Well folks and folkettes, my plane leaves today. I don't know how consistent my internet access is going to be so here's my official wish for you all to have a safe and happy summer - I will keep in contact when I can.

See you all in five weeks! *waves*

Later days! ^__^

Challenge comms I am currently stalling on liek woah working on:

For roads_diverged Turks cosplay set 2/7
Harem prompt (1750 words)
Genderswitch prompt (800 words)

Right, so this list is clearly doing nothing to help my productivity, so I'm going to change it up a bit. This is now a list of nearly everything on my harddrive that I've started and intend, eventually, to finish.

Oh, and if you see anything on it that catches your fancy let me know - extra encouragement to get off my lazy ass is always a good thing!
( WIPs )

And I'm not even going to get into the stuff I'm planning to work on... *heavy sigh* Why can't my 'let's get this done!' power be as well practiced as my 'oh, this'd be awesome fun to write!' power?

Title: Handbasket
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII [OGC pre-game]
Rating: soft PG
Warnings: Boys in skirts and other boys approving
Prompt: Final Fantasy VII, Sephiroth/Zack/Cloud: Halloween costumes - Sephiroth made a sexy Big Bad Wolf, and Cloud in red…? Hot.
Word count: 1330

Summary: Sephiroth was starting to think Zack was making up holidays for the sake of dressing them up in strange clothes.

( Now sit yourself down and I'll put on your war paint. Watch out for your tail. )

This time two weeks from now I'm going to be in Greece. For a month. Holy crap. (And who says there aren't any practical benefits to a degree in the Classics?)

I-I have a lot to do in the next two weeks Like work on my thesis. orz

Anybody want a postcard?

Took too long with these (as per usual), but I'm pleased with how they turned out, so. Thanks to everyone who prompted me!

10 x 125 words. Fandom spread = Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy XII, Howl's Moving Castle, Weiß Kreuz, Yami No Matsuei. Overall worksafe except for Sephiroth (yes, really) and a tendency towards crazy in Farf's.

Title: Blood Lines
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts 2/Baccano!
Pairing: Axel/Maiza
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Death play sex
Prompt: Axel and Maiza: necrophilia
A/N: If you'd asked me before this challenge, I wouldn't have said this was a kink of mine. Then I got these two for it and, well. *sparkles*

( It was fascinating to watch him bleed. )

S-so how about some prompts?

Give me one character and a place. The place can be as Proper Noun specific (Reno in Las Vegas) or vaguely generic (Claire in a dining room with the candlestick!) as you like. I'm not going to put a fandom cap on this, so anything that shows up in my tags list should be fair game. I'll also accept prompts from Persona 4 (because... yeah), though fair warning that I'm only up to the end of August.

I'll take the first 10 responses across all mirrors of my journal (so 10 total, not 10 each). Um, go?

1. Cloud, waterfall for cloudy_chan
2. Vaan, bedroom for nan (DW)
3. Howl, the Military for kiwikiwi (DW)
4. Seph, natural hot spring for ldyavalon
5. Zack, downtown for b_borealis
6. Vincent, tea shop for palmtree101 (IJ)
7. Farfarello, rooftop for cypher (DW)
8. Zack, Edge for strayvalkyrie
9. Tsuzuki, library for yuenoclow (IJ)
10. Cloud, Mt. Nibel for aikonamika (IJ)

Con report! A week late, but still here!

( TL;DR now with photos! )

Written for the summer round of no_true_pair.

Title: Firestarter
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts 2/Final Fantasy VIII
Pairing/characters: Axel/Seifer
Rating: Strong PG
Warnings: Snarky prison foreplay? Also somewhat violent boykissing.
Prompt: Axel and Seifer: handcuffs/prison scenario
A/N: I blame Seifer for the deplorable lack of porn in this (No, I don't understand either).

( Normally it took people an object lesson andseveral broken bones before they realized just how talented Axel could be withhis hands tied behind his back )

*waves* Well, I'm back from Anime North and mostly rested. I'll probably be posting some costume pictures once I figure out how to connect my camera to my laptop, but suffice to say a good time was had by all and much money was spent on new ani-swag.

This is... not really a fic but I've been mentally stalling on the longer things I'm trying to work on (my creativity, it is failing its will save a lot lately), and this piece snuck out while I wasn't paying attention. Erm, worksafe and short?


( FFVII pre-Zack/Cloud AU thingy )

Right! So I now officially have a Dreawmwidth account under the same name for those who want to follow me there. For now it's going to be a mirror of my LJ and IJ accounts - I have no intention at this point of leaving either place, but anyone who's made the move and wants their f-list all in one place is more than welcome to friend me there instead.

I had wanted some shiny new fic finished to celebrate the new account but... that hasn't exactly happened yet since I've been working like mad to get my shit together for Anime North next week (Anybody going?). So have some ficbits instead!

All written for Round Six of porn_battle on IJ.

Kingdom Hearts Zack/Cloud worshipful actions, he had to reassure himself that it was real - This could be taken as a follow-up to An Idiot in Hades but was technically written as a standalone.

Persona 3 Akihiko/Shinjiro blowjobs instead of explanations ...yeah.

Zap! Online Comic Gunner/Zap the world is not enough - Hooray for fandoms nobody's heard of! Zap! Online is a webcomic about space, psychics, amnesia, intrigue and trying to take over the universe (not necessarily in that order). Zap is the clueless main hero-type character with no memory and Gunner is the sexy main bad guy.

So yeah! Enjoy and I'll try to have something written, er, soonish. *hearts*

Because nothing says yay end of term like celebratory porn.

Title: In The Closet or All Zack's Fault
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII (pre-game, not Crisis Core compliant)
Pairing: Zack/Cloud
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Unrepentant smut. PWP
Word count: 1450

Summary: Closet sex. Seriously.

( Cloud was starting to think that Zack was a bad influence on him. )


I need a porn icon.

*waves* Look, I'm not dead! Just... totally useless at updating so far this year apparently. And now I'm here with a really strange piece that kind of body-checked me when I wasn't looking. That's not an AU! *shock* I hope people like.

Title: If At First
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Pairing: Zack + Cloud
Rating: G
Warnings: Canon-screwing
Word count: 3053
Music: Alice in Chains - 'Down A Hole'
A/N: Yet another example of me doing really weird things with song lyrics. I blame the drugs being sick.

Summary: Sometimes help comes from entirely unexpected sources. And makes you question your sanity.

( He knew the odds of them both getting into Midgar in one piece were somewhere between slim and abysmal, but that hadn't stopped him yet )

Well, some of you, at least.

Could the five people who replied to this meme comment below with your email addy? I'm probably going to need posting addresses for most of you, but I haven't decided who yet so I'll probably fire off emails to those people once I've finished your presents. Comments are screened.

Also, please provide me with your favourite colour(s). *shifty eyes* ^__^

*is excited*

Right! So this is a month late, but I wasn't about to wait till next December to post it. Am quite happy with it despite the delay so I hope people enjoy!

Title: Christmas at Zack's
Fandom: FFVII AU
Rating: G
Warnings: fluuuufffff OMG
Word count: 6051
A/N: This takes place about three months after the events of Zack's.

Summary: Zack invites Cloud to a party at his bar - on Christmas Eve.

( And now Cloud was picturing Zack in a pair of white-trimmed Santa briefs. Perfect. )

Right! So I've been totally failing at keeping up here and I apologize. My time-management skills, they are pathetic. ^^; If things go well I should have a fic for everybody by the weekend and, in the meantime, here's a meme from jlsigman!

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a poem, or something else written. I might sew, color, or take a specific picture. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure! Also, not me!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

Just bear in mind that if I decide to make you a something, I will need to ask for your address (in a screened post of course). Other than that, have at it! ^_^

EDIT: As of comment 9, there is still one spot left! And that's it folks! Thanks for playing and I'll see about starting on these somethings soon! ^_^

*flops onto the table* Someone tell me why I am completely incapable of living my life without procrastinating? Had two massive papers due in the past week (one on New Years Eve and one today), so of course I've done nothing since my last post Boxing Day but work on school. *shoots self* So yeah, that's where I went and died to, in case anyone was wondering.

And in the spirit of better late than never, here are the results of this year's Yuletide!

I got an awesome Baccano! story from karanguni who was a Pinch Hitter Extraordinaire and made sure that I (and a half dozen other people) got fics this year. All Across Manhattan is a neat little look at life on the Claire side of things - immortality, family, invincibility and the ways they all fit together into a whole that's at once strange and intimately familiar. Definitely worth the read. ^__^

I wrote two things this year. The first was for [Unknown LJ tag] from Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana which, oddly enough, is the same fandom I wrote for last year. Totally different focus though, and a really awesome challenge for me since it's rather a far cry from my normal fluffy tripe.

Bonded to Life Worksafe and really dark. Spoilers for a very major plot point so I wouldn't recommend reading it unless you've read the book (which, if you haven't, you really should - it's excellent!). There are worse fates than death - especially for those who cross Brandin of Ygrath.

I also wrote a treat for laylah from the song Whiskey in the Jar. I hadn't really intended to write any treats this year (see above flailing about essays), but I made this mistake of reading through the Yuletide Madness list and this prompt just pinged me so hard I had to try my hand at it. And, y'know, laylah always deserves more presents. ^_~

Jailbreak Worksafe-ish with warnings for kissing and brotherslash. 'If anyone can aid me, it's me brother in the army'.

Next goal is to get my fool self organized enough to get some writing done without screwing myself over for term two before it's even begun! *looks for flying pigs* Happy belated Yule to everyone! ^__^

Right, so does anyone even remember this fic?

This is not actually what I meant to be working on next, but strayvalkyrie sent me a comment about the first part that got me really keen on picking it up again. So you can blame her. :P Don't know when I'll be getting the next part out, but hopefully it will be much faster than the turnaround for this chapter was.

On with the fic!

Title: Wild Ones chapter 2
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII AU
Pairing: Zack/Cloud
Rating: PG this section for boykissing

Summary: Irrevocably tied and holding nothing back, two men search the world for what's been lost. This is but a small part of their story.

( Mountain villages often reminded him of ho-… the place he’d been born, though more often for the general feel of them than out of any real similarities )

...which actually is a valid statement for my entire life, but you know what I mean.

So I am trying to figure out stuff in anticipation of my Christmas break (as school+TAing=no time to write!) and I put a poll up on my insanejournal this morning. I can't do polls here on LJ since I'm not a paying member, but anyone who wants to help my mad list-making can use openID to fill out my IJ poll. *makes puppy eyes* Please?

Here's the link - and I hope to have actual content to post before too much longer!

*hearts*

Title: Different Strokes
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Rating: PG?
Word count: 1690
Prompt: xeno - they're down a couple dozen mugs and lamps before Zack gets used to his wingspan
A/N: Right, so this is mostly a sequel to this fic. Ended up being more of a Zack/Cloud pre Seph/Zack/Cloud unforrtunately - I blame school for not giving me the time to do a better job. (Sorry!)

Summary: The weirdest thing is how it isn't really as weird as it should be.

( just because half of the army is in rehab for mako poisoning it doesn’t give you the right to, to… why aren’t you wearing a shirt? )
