This is some unedited original thing that I may edit later or not. It's sad. And a little spooky.

Oh god I haven't updated this since 2012. XD Oh grad school.

Electra Heart: Chapter 5 - Homewrecker
Fandom: FFVI (for this chapter at least)
Characters/Pairings: Daryl/Gogo (yup)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: That time I started to write a little Daryl adventure with Setzer and she accidentally got with Gogo? Also accidental murder and pirating.

There's also some Hannibal stuff that I co-wrote (in the beginning before I accidentally grad school) and a Pacific Rim genderbend that is currently unfinished that may have inspired my NaNoWriMo idea. I'm not linking them because I am lazy.

Just a little thing that ladyfriend prompted me to write.

Tags:
Characters/Pairings: Shera, Tifa, Original Male Character (so far)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Some of the important memories in Shera's life, told in her own words.

Notes: So Epic Shera Story turns out to want to be a multi-chaptered work, we'll see how many chapters I can get to. This is probably one of the more unintentionally personal works I've written thus far, so hopefully it doesn't come out terribly. XD Kind of in line with the stories I've written about Shera, Scarlet, and Lucrecia and their various roles in Shinra, so if you liked that hey you might like this.

Link out to AO3 because I am legit too lazy right now to crosspost properly.

Fandom: Metal Gear Solid
Characters/Pairings: Naomi, hinting at Snake/Gray Fox, Mei Ling
Rating: PG-13
Summary: She sees the how violence shapes them and wonders who will give in first.

Notes: I know that Mei Ling and Naomi are not actually watching Snake on surveillance cameras. I know that. But I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if they were. That's kind of what this is. Title is mainly from the fact that this song from the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack came on and was helpful in writing this weird little thing. FORGIVE MY WOBBLING CANON FOR THE SAKE OF ART.

There are two places to find Jesus in this town
One the rural church
Convinced of its immortality in songs and restrictive
Skirts, longest hair and too many children
Two the hip little hideaway
Convinced of its superiority in coded songs and restrictive
Pants, shaggiest hair and too many childish remarks

When they pass each other in the street
Disciples of two kitschy Jesuses
They miss the mirrors reflected in each other's eyes
And keep walking

Every crooked beat of my heart
Strains against the faint guitar and tuneless voice

I live in the hallowed gourd at the center of town
Still while the vines of strangers' lives burrow,
Pretending they are a larger garden of stone and steel

I count; not footsteps nor conquests, instead
Feeble pulses as the night swallows the last voices
My veins are highways for humming strings
No longer quite in tune with the coming frost

Every crooked beat warns.

So a very good friend of mine recently just posted a Let's Play FFX-2 to the Let's Play archives, after some discussions we'd had about the FF series in general (this is a RL friend, and we used to talk about the finer points of the FFs we played rather excitedly while he waited on his code to process). So yes, FF nerd engineering students do sit and chat about this sort of stuff in labs when they are in college.

Anyway, if you've ever wanted to get the FFX-2 story with some meta-analysis and gameplay stuff, go and read it. I haven't read the whole thing (because I haven't finished the game yet!) but what I've read has been enjoyable (and reminds me to finish the game).

Also, since it's in an archive now you don't have to read through the forum comments where it used to be housed!
How You Can Participate

- Writing stories
- Drawing artz
- Recommending other stories
- Picspams and Icons and fun things like that if you are inclined

Rules

- Comment on this post with any of the three above (either put the fic in the comment or link it, same goes for artz and recs and etc)
- Comment on this post if you want a prompt of some kind
- Any fandom and originals can participate.
- Somehow stick to the theme of "Lady Knight". I'm not going to police gender or POV or whatever, because that's murky and limiting, but I'd hope to see at least a focus on a Lady Knight character (interpretation up to you on EITHER WORD IN THAT).
- This ends when it ends. When I stop getting things for a while, I suppose. This is kind of informal.

Headers

These just make listing easier. When commenting with a submission (even if it is entirely contained in the comment) please stick this at the top (also I have no idea how to make this copypasta):

Media Type: (fic, art, rec, whatevs!)
Fandom: (if original, say Original and if it is part of a larger named verse of your own making)
Characters/Pairings: (if original mention if it's gen or what kind of pairing please)
Rating: (G - NC17, or some similar scale)
Summary (optional, and mostly for fics)

The List

Star Wars: The Clones Wars

- Lady Knight picspam of Jedi goodness (Ahsoka Tano, Luminara Unduli, Aayla Secura, Jocasta Nu, Bariss Offee, Kalifa, Padme Amidala, and Riyo Chuchi)
Fandom: FFVII: Before Crisis
Characters/Pairings: Elfe/Fuhito, Shears-->Elfe, Elfe/Rufus (implied)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Elfe never went with the easy kinds of loves, considering there was always a revolution to fight in. There are always many sides to a single story.

Notes: So, this took a while, because I wanted to write an Elfe/Fuhito that wasn't just CRAZY SCIENTIST MWHAHA AND CHICK IS HOT. Not that that isn't fun, I just figured it was more complicated that than. I think this cements that Elfe is kind of into jerks, though. XD I skip around in time a lot, because I just wanted to focus on certain aspects, so you may get some whiplash. READ WITH CAUTION.

Fandom: FFIV AU
Characters/Pairings: Rosa, Kain, Joanna (Rosa's Mom), Tellah, Theodore Harvey
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Captain Rosa Farrell has a feeling that all may not be right in Baron.

Notes: Yes! OBVIOUSLY AN AU. Notes after the chapter on certain things if you are interested, not gonna bore you with details before you read. Also, yes, the title will be part of a couple puns later. This is also unedited, because holy crap this chapter is longer than most of my stories and I just want to GET IT OUT. So be gentle on the typos, I know there are probably several. If anyone would like to tackle the editing before I post it to AO3, I have it in a gdoc for you. ^^

you must be nervous or something )

Fandom: FFVII Compilation
Characters/Pairings: Veld, Lucrecia, with obvious suggestions of Hojo/Lucrecia, Vincent/Lucrecia, and Vincent/Veld
Summary: Sometimes confronting your villains doesn't turn into the epic battle it should be.

Notes: I can safely blame this on a lack of sleep and a close call with some almost heat-stroke. And yes, Veld refers to her as Elfe by now, she insists. I kind of really want Elfe to meet Lu now. This may happen.

This is set right before Dirge.

and get him to swap whose places? )
