Welcome


Hello!  Thanks for stopping by :).  I'm finally migrating to LiveJournal, so please be patient while I get the hang of things!  No worries for non-LJ users -- I will keep updating my FF.net account with all finished pieces, and all the older fics can still be found there.

I'm so happy to be catching up on everyone's writing through LJ and to be writing again myself.

Here's a quick overview of what's posted here and how to find it:
  • A Chronicle of Days: Truths and lies in many ways. Any combination of Shitennou/senshi/Endymion/Serenity drabbles and ficlets set in a variety of universes, and which can be read in any order.
  • Four Heavenly Queens: Currently a series of shorts set in an alternate Silver Millennium where the senshi, as the four Heavenly Queens, serve as Endymion's protectors and the Shitennou are Serenity's. In progress.
  • Messages: Everyone knows the quickest way to a senshi's heart is through Makoto's bakery. Modern day universe, complete.
  • The Quest: Take 10 college students, some of whom love each other, hate each other, or don't know the others exist. Add some magical powers, some interference from Pluto, and shake well. What do you get? A modern day quest for Endymion and Serenity. This is the main multi-chapter fic I'm working on right now, set in a present day AU world. In progress.
  • Santa Esperanza: Currently two completed stories set in an AU world influenced by medieval Spain, one Ami/Zoi and one Usa/Mamo.
  • Soulmates: As war approaches, the chosen ten must confront a mad queen, a quest for the crystals, and each other in order to rebuild the kingdoms of legend. This is the other multi-chapter story I'm working on, for which the writing goes relatively slower, and it is heavily influenced by the fantasy genre and set in a completely AU, slightly medieval-with-magic world. On hiatus.
  • Two Truths and a Lie: Crystal Tokyo can’t come soon enough for the inhabitants of the Crystal Palace. AU just before Crystal Tokyo, so far a series of shorts. In progress.
  • Virtuoso: Zakary Atalo is a musical prodigy who thinks he has lost his touch and his ability to perform. Will taking a teaching job and meeting a certain bright young student be enough to bring his music back, or end his career forever? A/Z set in a modern day alternate universe, complete.
Anything last updated before 2011 will not be posted here, but it's all up on FF.net.

Communication V: Frame Shift


Title: Communication V: Frame Shift
Description: Broadening your horizons is one way to describe a change in perspective that destroys your peace of mind.

A/N: Fifth installment of six. Takes place in the same universe as Two Truths and a Lie, which should be read first. Both parts take place some time after the events of Two Truths and a Lie (the second one takes place directly after Sugar and Spice). One of these days I’ll come up with a timeline…

Frame Shift

"Do you honestly believe that?" )

"That’s only half the story, isn’t it?” )

The Photograph


Title: The Photograph 

Description: One photograph seen from five different viewpoints. 

A/N: A little piece for Merry May to combat the forces of (extremely good) angst that prevailed last month. Prompt here.

The photograph is crooked )

The Quest - Nine


Title: The Quest
Description: Take 10 college students, some of whom love each other, hate each other, or don't know the others exist. Add some magical powers, some interference from Pluto, and shake well. What do you get? A modern day quest for Endymion and Serenity.
A/N: Current main project. See Author's Notes for Chapter One for an extended disclaimer.

Communication IV: Body Language


Title: Communication IV: Body Language
Description: “Even as your body betrays you, your mind denies it.” – Sara Gruen, Water for Elephants
A/N: Fourth installment (of six total). Takes place in Two Truths and a Lie verse. The first part takes place some time after the events of Two Truths and a Lie, and the second takes place way after that. I missed angsty April, but it’s a bit rough around the edges, but here is some angst anyway!

Body Language

It was a bad habit whose meaning she couldn’t fathom. )


Ages ago, they had gone to bed laughing. )

Angsty April is Angsty...


So I've been more MIA than I expected this month because grad school is eating my soul, but I promise I will (eventually) get around to reading everyone's Angsty April stuff AND hopefully their Merry May stuff (and same goes for regular fic stuff too which not surprisingly I am also behind on). I am sensing there is lots of wonderful, reducing-to-tears writing going around that I can't wait to read, so kudos to you all!!! :)

Communication III: Eye Contact


Title: Communication III: Eye Contact
Description: Eyes may be the window to men’s souls, but you can choose how long and hard you look through them.
A/N: Third installment. Takes place in the same universe as Two Truths and a Lie, which should be read first. The first part takes place before the events of Two Truths and a Lie, and the second takes place quite a bit after. I promised one of these would be fluffy, but in hindsight, my definition of fluffy seems to have warped a bit. It's all relative: "fluffy" for Two Truths is probably pretty somber in another universe.

Eye Contact

“Look here." )

He hadn’t been able to take his eyes off her. )

Communication II: Listening


Title: Communication II: Listening
Description: Being willing to listen means being willing to hear something you don't want to hear.
A/N: Second installment. Takes place in the same universe as Two Truths and a Lie, which should be read first. The first part takes place before the events of Two Truths and a Lie, and I'm not entirely sure about the second part...except that it's all angsty. Fairly swamped until mid-May but the muse calls!

Listening

He had no true claim to her attention. )

"Don't talk." )

Communication I: Talking


Title: Communication I: Talking
Description: Finding the right words is never easy. Sometimes, it's downright impossible.
A/N: Part of what I hope will be a four-piece set. Takes place in the same universe as Two Truths and a Lie, which should be read first. The second part takes place directly after the events of Two Truths and a Lie, and the first part probably some time before.

Talking

"Who's there?" )

“Will you be all right?” )

Treasures


Title: Treasures

Description: On the eve of their departure for the Moon Kingdom, four princes attempt to come to terms with what they will take with them, and what they leave behind.

A/N: Probably the earliest piece yet, timeline-wise, in the Four Heavenly Queens-verse (use tag for other pieces; Janos = Jadeite, Zavier = Zoisite, Nikodemus = Nephrite, Kasimir = Kunzite). It’s a bit rough around the edges, but we finally some more insight into the men, I hope!
