Request fic roundup!

Apparently, when you cross post from Dreamwidth to LiveJournal, if you have a userpic with a keyword the same as the mood on the post, it will pick that userpic for the post. Thus, the request post ended up with my bored Sonic and Tails icon.

This is significant because [info] - personalkiyoshi_chan is evil.

Sonic the Hedgehog, 621 words, futurefic, kind of pre Tails/Sonic? /o\
The filename for this was tailsfic_ohgod.txt )

Nightrunner, 704 words, Alec/Seregil, Teen
Alec + Seregil, mission mishap and uncomfortable positions. )

Stargate:Atlantis/Merlin, 577 words, gen
Arthur, Merlin, Sheppard and McKay! )

Original (crazy-lj-pseudo-bandom), 376 words, Niall/Dom, Teen
Kill my emotions because no one knows )

Ironically, I have been putting off opening my WiPs docs until I got the requests done. Fail!

January 7: New Snow (Tactics)
tactics, harukan
[info]flamebyrd
Today's [info]31_days theme is "snow falling on cedars", and it took me ages to come up with anything that even vaguely fit.

It turned out kind of strange and pointless and sad, so I'm just posting it here for posterity.

Kantarou woke to find the last of the warmth fading from the dimple on the futon beside him. )

January 6 (again): Don't Wake Me Up (xxxHoLic, Doumeki/Watanuki)
♥, Watanuki OTP!
[info]flamebyrd
( The worst thing about the whole ordeal was that Doumeki didn't even seem to know it had happened. )
Link goes to [info]31_days.

This was kind of ridiculously fun to write. I am so behind in 'holic it is probably completely contradicted by current canon, but somehow I don't ~care~! ♥

And as a bonus, I still haven't broken my 31_days streak!

PS: I need to redo this icon, the butterflies really aren't working for me.

January 4: Love This City (Stargate: Atlantis, John/Atlantis)
McKay, dangerous
[info]flamebyrd
( They used to joke about it when they first came to Atlantis. )
Link goes to [info]31_days

The theme was "the language of cities", I couldn't resist.

(Pretty much everything I said about yesterday's effort also applies to this one, except that I actually got over 550 words out of this in the end. I ♥ you [info]reisha!)

January 3: Unwritten (Gokusen, Shin/Kumiko)
feather
[info]flamebyrd
( She wrote him letters occasionally. )
Link goes to [info]31_days

Didn't get this one to 500 words. I tried, but it seemed its natural length was a little under 450. To be honest I am kind of uncertain about this - the old adage is to write what you want to read, and I am reasonably certain I would open this, see that there wasn't any dialogue, and lose interest pretty quickly. *coughs*

Anyway, it's keeping me writing, which is the important thing.

January 2: La Vie en Rose (Merlin: Arthur, Merlin, gen)
feather
[info]flamebyrd
The January 2 theme for [info]31_days is "la vie en rose" (life in pink). I was maybe a little literal with that.

La Vie en Rose. 506 words. )

If this looks all right to you guys, I may, *gasp*, unlock it and set it off into the world. (Should I post to [info]31_days? I only have 4:45 left of Jan 2 to work with. Screw it, posted here. Now the question is, do I try to get it onto the Merlin newsletter? The internet has changed since I last published fanfic! I don't know what to do anymore!)

[Fanfic] Merry Christmas, [info]velithya!

[info]flamebyrd
Fandom: Gokusen
Pairing: Shin/Kumiko

She hadn't even realised they were dating until he asked her to marry him. )

[Original Fiction] Merry Christmas, [info]kiyoshi_chan (1/3)
feather
[info]flamebyrd
This story kind of turned into a monster on me, so it's not finished yet. *hangs head in shame*

This is the story of the Moon King and the Boy Young Man From The Sea. There are some inconsistencies between what the boy from Oakmeadows read and what I tell here because bards get things wrong or embellish or simplify things to make a better story.

The story of the Moon King and the young man from the sea )

[Fanfic] Merry Christmas, [info]tevriel!
feather
[info]flamebyrd
Fandom: due South, The Pretender
Characters: Fraser, Ray, Jarod
Notes: THIS IS A TEASER ONLY because the rest of the fic really is not cooperating with me. *sighs*

So I'm standing in line, right, and this guy... Fraser, are you listening to me?  )

[Fanfic] Merry Christmas, [info]nekokoban!
fye, happy
[info]flamebyrd
Fandom: Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle
Characters: Fay, Kurogane, Sakura, Syaoran, Mokona
Pairings: None, although my Fay is kind of gay.
Notes: [info]nekokoban asked for the family of four being happy, possibly with snow. This is the first time I've attempted Tsubasa fic, and it kind of meanders around without really having a point.

They landed in the snow with a soft plop, and the next thing he knew Fay was up to his knees in damp white powder. )

[Fanfic] Merry Christmas, [info]amamiyarin

[info]flamebyrd
Fandom: Howl's Moving Castle
Characters: Howl, Sophie, Megan
Pairing: Howl/Sophie
Notes: This is most definitely book-verse. I just love all the Wales scenes in the book too much to pretend they don't exist.

Howl, I am not going to meet your family dressed like this! )

[Fanfic] Merry Christmas, [info]reisha!
*glomp*, Nakuru
[info]flamebyrd
Fandom: CLAMP
Notes: In which I combine three of [info]reisha's previous requests into one! ♥

Watanuki, there are some customers at the gate. )

[Original Fiction] Merry Christmas [info]tygati, Take 2!
kite
[info]flamebyrd
To make up for the lack of kisses in the first attempt at Christmas fic for [info]tygati, I wrote this Kit/Kite short! It is short because the author is shy. Sad, but true.

The problem with having one's teenaged brother around the house was that it was suddenly much more difficult to enjoy the simple things in life... )

[Original Fiction] Merry Christmas, [info]tygati
feather
[info]flamebyrd
[info]tygati asked for Saphrael and Christopher and kisses. This does not contain kisses, because the characters are apparently too shy. Sad, but true.

London swirled around him, relentless and noisy. )

[info]imaginarybeasts is out!

[info]flamebyrd
The theme is fairy tales, and it looks fantastic. Great job, guys!

My story is The Cherry Tree And The Boy, a retouch/completion of the story I started in 2002.

Other stories in this universe may or may not come to pass. I want to, but I want to write them in normal language. >.>

I'm in JAPAN

[info]imaginarybeasts Book #4: Heatwave is out!

I've only read it over briefly (not in enough depth to leave comments yet), but there's some awesome stuff in there, so check it out.

My story is Summer in Arcadia (credited as Liz rather than the usual) - the adventures of Kai and Arcady, age 14.
