I really like the Mt. Silver period of Red/Green's relationship! It hits on a lot of themes I like: loneliness and pining, love overcoming obstacles, self-discovery through longing. I'll probably write ficlets for these tracks eventually, but for now, have a fanmix.

Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,823
Genre: AU, Angst, Drama
Fandom: Pokémon
Pairings: Red/Leaf, Green/Leaf, faintly implied Red/Green
Warnings: Character death, blood, burns, violence and pain, characters doing horrible things to themselves and others, wingfic (body horror?), unhappy ending(!), emetophobia
Summary: He stands trembling before the still body lying on the shrine and sees her color returning, one legendary at a time.
Author's Note: Shadow of the Colossus AU. This will make a lot more sense to you if you’re familiar with that game series. For azalee_calypso, who originally prompted it here, and for kuruk, my dear friend who loves these things as much as I do. Happy belated birthday?

Title: Cardiology
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,425
Genre: Romance, character study, angst I guess?
Fandom: Homestuck
Pairings: Dirk Strider/Jake English
Warnings: Medical technobabble, non-squicky but still violent injury metaphors

Title: Pomona
Rating: PG
Word Count: 5,050
Genre: Character study, drama, romance
Fandom: Pokémon
Pairings: Ariana/Petrel
Warnings: Implied pokémon killing and exploitation (it's a Team Rocket fic, what do you expect), strained mother-daughter relationships
Summary: Over her first winter break spent at home, Ariana's life changes trajectory completely. Or: the story behind how Ariana was responsible for Petrel's recruitment to Team Rocket.
Author's Note: For Rosejailmaiden as part of tumblr's Secret Stantler exchange. The idea of the Rocket party is taken from this fic. A million, billion thanks to kuruk/dragoplateau, for this fic would be nothing without him.
Cross-Posts: AO3.

Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

Not sure any of you will bite, but I'd really love it if you did ;_;

Pretend for a minute that the only contact you have ever had with me is through my fic. We've never exchanged LJ/DW comments or emails, never hung out in chat or on IM, never talked on the phone or met each other in person, none of that stuff. The only thing you know about me is the kind of fic I write.

What kind of person would you think I am? How would you describe my attitudes and opinions about real-life issues? Or, to rephrase it: Based on the way I write my characters, and the way they speak, think, and behave, what would that say to you about me?

I really want to know, actually.

I never do this, but as this is the result of three months of work (and yet still not done!) and also the longest thing I have ever attempted to write, I would really appreciate it if you'd leave a note or comment telling me what you think of it! Anon comments are on at the fic's comm :)

Title: Metamorphosis
Rating: PG-13 for cursing
Word Count: 4,302
Genre: AU, Romance, Character Study
Fandom: Pokémon
Pairings: Red, Green, Leaf, Ethan; focuses and pairings change with each fic
Warnings: None
Summary: Several AU exercises (fighter pilot, college, rock star, road trip, pokemon researcher, secret agent, modern high school/waiter).
Author's Note: For pokeprompts' May 2012 challenge. Some of these are WIPs/incomplete, but they were all great fun to write :)! You may notice that Ethan's characterization changes wildly from fic to fic; that is because in my head, my Ethan wears many different hats, and I decided to try them all out. Remember: each universe and fic is completely separate from the others, including characterization!
