One of those odd things, that I've been wanting to write about for some time, has been about gender boundaries. About the spaces where I've been walking that seem exclusive to one gender or the other. And I'm talking about a 100 to 1 ratio, on the most part.

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.

The complete list of my stories and a few old adventures as I can index them... )
liralen: (twinsouls2)
Title: Postlude: Of Love
Arc: Twin Souls
Characters: Shunsui and Jyuushiro
Rating: R
Warnings: Implied M/M
Word Count: 6800
Summary: Shunsui gets to follow through with his plan and unexpectedly confesses what he's never been able to say before to Jyuushiro.
Disclaimer: I do not own nor make money off these writings. And I decided for this one chapter to not have a beta, so apologies for any mistakes.

Three weeks later, Shunsui awoke to the sound of lark's singing. )
liralen: (twinsouls2)
Title: Spring
Arc: Twin Souls
Fandom: Bleach
Word Count: 4000
Summary: The Clan Lords and Yamamoto come to an agreement on how to protect Soul Society.
Beta: [livejournal.com profile] incandescens has been constant as my beta throughout this entire, enormous story. Thank you so much for all the work, effort, excellent ideas, and pointing out all the points where the story could be made better, the characters more themselves, and the language clearer.
Author's Note: I can't believe I wrote the whole thing. Finally. There's also a postlude that I've written, edited, and I'll probably post it Monday and everything took so long because I didn't want to post this part without that part already done and ready to go out the door. This is the actual *story* ending and hopefully provides a satisfying plot ending in the Shonen Way. *laughs* Thank you, so much, for sticking with me for six years. Wow.

First Chapter: Introductions
Previous Chapter: Politics and Bath Partners

The next morning dawned clear and bright. )

Next Chapter
liralen: Finch Painting (Ukitake_tea_contemplation)
Fandom: Bleach
Genre/Rating: General/G
Character: Ukitake Jyuushiro
Summary: Ukitake takes a cup of tea.
Word Count: 466
Authors Note: This is a companion story to A Peek Under the Hat, which was my Shunsui story in order to figure out who he was. I find myself needing to touch base with Ukitake again, and decided to write this. I'd written him in the garden, once, but it didn't sit right, and I always wanted to rewrite his bit. I like this one better.

To everyone else in the Gotei 13... )

I finally got it all cleaned up, but the very dark AU that [livejournal.com profile] incandescens, [livejournal.com profile] sophiap, and I were working on, Winter War, is all up, to its present chapter on Archive of Our Own.

I've also gotten a good chunk of Twin Souls up there, too.

One of the features I love about that site is that anyone and everyone can make ebook versions of a fic from the site! So I now have Winter War on my Kindle with Chapters and a Table of Contents! It's pretty amazing....
