Dancing Cheek To Cheek

Original Work: Final Fantasy VIII

Summary: Squall is just beginning to appreciate his general appeal to the laaaaaadies. Will Seifer’s meddling cause a setback?

Spoilers: Very light end-of-game spoilers. Although they’re kind of counterbalanced by things that definitely don’t happen.

Warnings: Implied sex.

Preference Warnings: Non-canon joke ‘pairing’ that is more popular than the canon pairing, lets be realistic about this. Blatant silliness.

Notes: I wrote this years ago as a kind of spiritual sequel to Imitation Leather (though their only real connection is that neither of them is plausible) and a commemoration of my friendship group discovering the… uh, of the boys love phenomenon. My friends did not end up reading it until some years later, at which point it killed them with lolwtfs. I think, “Seifer, are you high?” should totally be a line in the game.

Imitation Leather

Original Work: Final Fantasy VIII

Summary: When things with Rinoa turn a little pear-shaped due to an unexpected revelation, Squall hits upon a really novel way of resolving the situation.

Spoilers: Character introductions and some really obvious relationships.

Warnings: Sexual references.

Preference Warnings: Silliness, some characters dragged mildly OOC and absolutely no attempt made to make this fit with canon.

Notes: I wrote this almost ten years ago now before ever playing FFVIII, as a joke for some friends. It ended up being the gift that kept on giving, as my first ever finished fan fiction (and only, for some time) and a piece of writing from my teen years that isn’t overly cringeworthy now, though that’s mostly because of its silly nature.

Just You Wait

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Shuichi finds a way of getting Yuki’s attention that is guaranteed to succeed.

Spoilers: I don’t even know why I have this here.  If you’re already going WTF at Gravitation, there’s not much left to be spoiled.

Warnings: Candid discussion of sex.

Preference Warnings: The level of candid discussion of sex kind of squicks me out sometimes, and I wrote it. But that’s just because I’m so demure.

Notes: I seem to have a terrible tendency towards showing Yuki making casual fun of his novelling career in my fics. I can see him doing it and still taking his work kind of seriously. It’s more or less how I work, after all. Also, on a side note, HE’S TOTALLY SCREAMING MY NAME.

Fatherhood – A Modern Fairytale

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Eiri faces the natural consequences of his wild ways.

Spoilers: None.

Warnings: A whole lot of ranting about sex. And vomit.

Preference Warnings: My screwed-up sense of wit really comes into play here.

Notes: I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote this. I found it recently in my unfinished stories folder, and if there was really meant to be some further punch line I don’t know what it could have been.

Cell Fish

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Shuichi brings up the baby topic. Eiri has his own reasons for acting as expected.

Spoilers: Nothing specific.

Warnings: I don’t think I could ever come up with anything more disturbing than what’s already in the series.

Preference Warnings: Baby talk. If you’re, uh, squicked out by babies, I guess. Also I did like zero research for this so it in few ways represents something that could actually happen.

Notes: I think my main motivation for writing this was to do something with that oh-so-punny title that ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE. But aside from that, I’ve read lots of Gravitation fics that bring up babies, and it’s fun to explore my own take on it. I have a few, of which this is the only even remotely happy one.

Old And Unappealing

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: If you live your life acting to alienate everybody, who can you count on when you most need it?

Spoilers: Nothing specific.

Warnings: None.

Preference Warnings: Yuki being only 50% of a bitch may not gel with some people’s interpretations of him.

Notes: I was going through a sleepless night myself a while back and scripted this story in my head as comfort. I’m not nearly as nasty to people who care for me as Yuki is (as far as I realise) and I freak out all the time over whether I’m going to maintain any lasting relationships, so I can see this happening.

For His Own Good

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Yuki is Shuichi’s hero. More than Shuichi can ever be allowed to know.

Spoilers: Nothing unusual.

Warnings: None.

Preference Warnings: None.

Notes: I always like to think that, somewhere behind the scenes, Yuki and Shuichi have connections and things in common that freak out both of them.

---

Breaking In

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Shuichi gets a bit too swept up in the vampire craze.

Spoilers: If you’re obsessed enough to be looking for fics, probably nothing.

Warnings: Nothing major.

Preference Warnings: Twilight jokes.

Notes: Ah, Twilight is good value, I’ll give it that.

---

Breaking Brains (a.k.a. Best Self Insert Fic Ever)

Original Work: Twilight

Summary: I end up dating Edward Cullen.

Spoilers: Probably a bit of everything.

Warnings: Excessive discussion of necrophilia, naughty bits and people nomming on other people.

Preference Warnings: Author self-insertion. Yes, I’m aware that term sounds kind of dirty. Also, if you take your Twilight seriously this may not please you.

Notes: The idea of me dating Edward Cullen was too loltastic not to experiment with.

---

Make It Better

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Shuichi’s weird moment at work turns out to be more significant than he thought, especially considering his most hard-won relationship.

Spoilers: Up until the end of the anime.

Warnings: None.

Preference Warnings: Original character central to story. Average and clichéd.

Notes: Part of my motivation for writing this story was to explore the idea of Yuki making a significant effort to change and open up after accepting that Shuichi is in his life to stay. I’ve seen it assumed in a lot of fics that even years after they’d still be stuck in the same patterns we see in the anime, and I just think once they were both committed to being together, there’d be a lot of changes. What my brain produced in response to those thoughts had too many good moments to throw away. It also has strangely divided chapters and sort of undermines canon-plot in some ways, but it was an interesting experiment. Mostly here for personal reference, though.
