CALLING ALL NAKAMASHIP FANFIC FANS! If you want to help with the Bonds of Friendship nakamaship C2 project, feel free to drop me a note at any time to suggest your favorite nakamaship fics, or swing by my livejournal to read my post on the creation of the group!

Dear Fanfiction.net: Please stop nerfing my page breaks. I kinda need them for telling stories appropriately. Thank you.

I post whatever takes my fancy and whatever fandom I happen to be into at the time, whether it be comics, manga, anime, games, or movies, as long as it generates a good idea. If you enjoy what I write, tell me; if you dislike something, tell me that as well; if you have suggestions or comments about good or bad portions, post that as well. I'm open to constructive criticism, good or bad--it helps me grow.

Note that I'm not a pairing writer. I tend to write stories as character studies and for the study of actions and reactions. I like to see how characters act when put out of their element. If you like that sort of thing, look no further, just scroll down.

Legend of Korra

Separation (Set pre-series) Life can always take a turn for the worse, and Bolin learns it the hard way when he's forced to come to grips with the fact that he might be on his own a little earlier than he thought. Features Bolin and Mako, written for Bromotions Week.Prompt: Alone. Family/friendship only, no pairings. Complete.

Family Bonds (Set after Book 1) The brothers have a lot of talents, but a bizarre one in particular stands out to Korra. One-shot, written for Bromotions week. Prompt: Link. Family/friendship only, although Korra's relationship with Mako is mentioned very briefly at the end (not much I can do about it when it's canon). Spoilers for Book 1. Complete.

Digimon

Consequences (Digimon Savers/Digimon Data Squad, set between episodes 11 and 12) Sometimes, there are consequences to punching out giant monsters with big teeth and claws. Features Masaru, Tohma, and some Yoshino. Friendship only; no pairings. Complete.

One Piece

Surprises (One Shot) Nami is shocked to find that no matter how well she thinks she knows her shipmates, they continue to surprise her. A little observation of her crewmates’ serious ideals goes a long way in discovering who they really are. Complete.

Nine Days (One Shot) Nine days out of thirty, Zoro waited, tied to that wooden post. Complete.

Watch Your Back (One Shot) It takes all kinds to make a hero. Features Usopp and Zoro. Nakamaship, no pairings. Complete. Based off of fanart by Syb:

http://-syb.deviantart.com/art/I-ll-watch-your-back-118461960

One Day Late (One Shot) One day couldn’t make much of a difference, anyway. Features all the Straw-Hats...sort of. AU speculative one-shot. Complete.

Swordmaster (One Shot) Zoro smirks widely, and says with all the confidence and contentment in the world, “That kid...is the man that is going to kill me one day.” Set post-series. Complete. *OVER 100 FAVORITES!*

Muzzled (One Shot) Santoryuu has a few other advantages, although it’s funny how often nobody sees them coming. Completely random story-set pondering. Set pre-timeskip. Complete. *OVER 100 FAVORITES!*

Shedding Season (One Shot) A reindeer's antlers are his pride and joy. Unfortunately he doesn't get to keep them the whole time. Features the whole crew; nakamaship, no pairings. Complete.

Pages From the Voyage Log (One Shot Collection) A collection of one-shots, challenges, fills and prompts, dumped here since they can't really be published as solo fics. Fics range from K-T and angst to comedy, and focus on the Straw Hat Pirates. Nakamaship only, no pairings.

Thirty Tales of a Swordsman (One Shot collection) Thirty Zoro-centric fics written for the 30_OnePiece challenge. Stories range in length, rating, and genre, but they all feature Zoro as the primary character, with occasional minor focuses on other Straw Hats. Nakamaship only, no pairings. Complete. *OVER 100 FAVORITES!*

Fortunae Gauntlet (Set between Davy Back and Water 7) When Usopp gets himself into trouble, his nakama unhesitatingly move to rescue him. But ‘rescue’ turns out to be a cut-throat fight-to-the-death combat challenge, and there could very well be fatal consequences. This fic features all the StrawHats. No pairings. Complete. *OVER 100 FAVORITES!*

Mindshattered (Set directly after the Sabaody Archipelago arc) Sanji knew how difficult it was to survive the hell that was starvation. What he hadn't expected was that he'd need to get his nakama through it, too. Features Sanji and Zoro primarily, with some emphasis on Luffy, Nami, Usopp and Brook too. Nakamaship, no pairings. Complete. *OVER 200 FAVORITES!*

The Panaceam Report (Set about six months after Mindshattered) Enemies might come and go, but information lasts forever. A one-shot sequel to Mindshattered. Nakamaship; no pairings. Complete.

Asteria Nightmare (Set between Thriller Bark and Sabaody Archipelago) On this island, it's personal. The inhabitants don't just steal your body; they feed on your dreams. Features all Straw Hats. Nakamaship; no pairings. Complete. *OVER 100 FAVES!*

Samurai Champloo

Force of Nature (One-shot) The sea is a dangerous adversary. Unfortunately for them, only one of their number truly understands that--and Mugen isn’t the sort you listen to easily. Looks like another rescue mission is in order form the former pirate. Complete.

Bleach

Pacifist Paranoia (One-shot) Kon had known it was a bad idea from the start. That was why he was standing in Ichigo's body now, planted firmly between the hollow and the fallen substitute shinigami.Complete.

On the Run Another Kon-centric fic. While Ichigo is out fighting hollows, Kon stays home and takes command of his body. But when an unexpected pair of bounty-hunters show up at the Kurosaki clinic, Kon is forced into a race to see if he can outrun his own execution. Complete.

Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken ( Fire Emblem 7)

Knights of Cydonia It started as a simple mission...just a message to deliver, supplies to gather, and some mountaineering. But after an unexpected attack leaves Sain wounded and days from help, Kent is forced to race against all odds to save the life of his friend before everything is lost. Complete.

Somewhere Around Nothing New arrivals are always welcome in Eliwood's army, but the introduction of the Angel of Death has sent stirrings of unease and hatred through the company. Unfortunately, when it becomes a matter of life and death there is little time for such feelings, and when an unnatural lightning storm means cooperation or destruction with the former Fang member, Matthew isn't entirely sure what to think of the assassin. Complete.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (Fire Emblem 8)

The Challenge Colm is determined to get Neimi that horse. Neimi is determined to do the morally right thing. But how’s a thief supposed to get money without stealing it?

The Swindler (One-shot) Joshua's fresh out of gold and looking to make some wager-induced cash, and who better to sucker than the cool-headed, hot-betting Innes...or perhaps not? Complete.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (Fire Emblem 9)

Nelgetha Reyson has always hated the beorc for what they've done to his beloved forest. And while some are unusually trustworthy, Reyson still gives the benefit of the doubt to no no one—especially filthy human Daeins. But there may be more to those humans than meets the eye. When a terrible accident comes his way, Reyson realizes he still has a lot to learn about the beorc...Complete.

Hidden in the Light (One-shot) "It is ironic that my talents lead to this." Volke's point of view. Complete.

Feral Meeting the Feral Ones had appalled her. But Lethe was too strong, too proud, to fall into their ranks...or so she thought. Can one be saved from something impossible to return from? Complete. *Third-place winner of the Fire Emblem Writer's Guild's Emblem Awards!!*

1/22/13 Back from the dead. Starting to clean up my fics and post some oneshots that have never seen the light of day, or just never made it to FF.net. Trying to work up some motivation to kickstart a big fic, too.
