liralen: Finch Painting (dandelion)
[personal profile] liralen
Welcome to my journal. I'm putting this at the top so folks can find things easily. There's so many years worth of stuff on this journal that it's not that easy to find things. I started out just journaling, but then got into writing fiction as well.



But first, trip journals. They're all family friendly.

The 2013 China Trip: A tour of Bejing, Xi'an, Guilin, and Shanghai.
All our Biloxi Rebuilding Trips: Where John spend seven years and I spent five rebuilding houses post-Katrina in the Gulf.

Now is a listing of many of my stories, both original and fanfiction. Not all of this is work or family friendly, but nearly all the stories have a rating next to them so you know what to expect.

My Fan Fiction
I have a yaoi leaning in fanfic. Just so you're warned. But it's just a leaning, so there's lots of other stuff, too.

All of my [livejournal.com profile] springkink prompts can be found on the comm itself right here.

Multi-chapter stuff.
These cover the longer series that I'm writing in, and I've pulled these pieces out of the general mish-mash of fanfic below. Many of these have indexes that you can put an alert on if you want to know when they're updated.
-- Twin Souls -- Academy Ukitake and Kyouraku multi-chapter mostly PG-13 fic with its own page and links to fanart! Emphasis is on how they developed into the friends they are and what the circumstances are for attaining shikai. Plot and sword fight heavy, very smut-light.
-- Winter War -- A very dark AU co-write with [livejournal.com profile] incandescens and [livejournal.com profile] sophiap where the Gotei 13 did very badly against Aizen's forces and are trying to survive. "Nothing is sacred and no one is safe." Rated R mostly for character death, swearing and the like, nothing explicit.
-- Playing with Fire -- A two-chapter AU with Iruka/Kakashi in [livejournal.com profile] demented_dee's Monoshizukanohi/New Amsterdam, where Iruka fulfills a promise to play with fire with Kakashi on the stage of Break.
-- Getaway -- An explicit fic slashing an AU Shuuhei and Urahara, written with [livejournal.com profile] darkprism_fics in her AU world. After having known each other as friends for years, both the men get set up for really horrible blind dates. They escape the bad dates and Kisuke invites Shuuhei out for a weekend getaway at the Kuchiki hunting lodge.
-- Seasons of Tea -- A Traditional Tea with Saiyuki's Hakkai/Tenpou and Bleach's Byakuya as prompted by [livejournal.com profile] 2metaldog and [livejournal.com profile] mysocalledhell and it's mostly G or PG but the last chapter turned NC-17.
-- Bedtime Stories -- a bunch of short bedtime stories with illustrations with various Bleach characters. All PG or milder.

-- Spring Waters -- PG-13 for Yaoi kiss. I needed some fluffy Kyouraku/Ukitake in Ukitake's garden in early spring.

-- Living In This Moment -- PG-13 for suggestions. Ukitake works and Yoruichi interrupts him in her unique way. [livejournal.com profile] springkink prompt: playful sex--"Let's get out of here". Amusingly enough out of the first six reviews for this, three were requests for a continuation. I may well do so.

OTHER FANDOMS

Downed*Angel
Downed*Angel is a creation by [livejournal.com profile] gogoangelgunboy that has its own community: [livejournal.com profile] biscuit_tin. I encourage people to check it out and I did one fic for... hm... I'd like to say it was for him, but it was really for his characters and for the Crescent City, as after I swallowed down all of his fic in one or two days, they grabbed me and I had to write Some Things Never Change. The story is about Immer and Tommy, who are assassins that clear the feng shui, hired by the Goddess of Mercy, going to New Orleans for a job. If there's enough people that think it ought to be continued, I may well do so. And just to be sure it's on my journal incase the other ever disappears, I've copied it here.

And now I've also done Under the Boardwalk -- R for language and violence -- Immer and Tommy do a job, clearing the flow of fengshui in Atlantic City.

Ghost in the Machine was requested by Gabe as well and has my character, William, in it. R for violence and language. The two hitmen decide to hit a target together.

Burning for You -- PG-13 boy kiss Axel follows Roxas for no reason he can fathom.
Follow Your Heart -- PG-13 but warning for a boy kiss. My Second Fic ever. Written because it always bothered me that Riku couldn't even walk and then suddenly, nearly the next minute, he's cutting through the waves like his old self. Lady Az actually did a full-page comic of the closing lines of this fic!! Check it out, it's amazing to me...
