Updated on 9 March 2013: Upcoming Stories to be posted/updated!

Progress and notes on Main Projects:

*Lacrimosa (Majutsushi Orphen): I apologize for delays, but Chapter 19 is up. Life certainly threw a wrench in my intentions to finish this story before the New Year, and I've not had much time to work on the chapters that constitute the ending of this story. There are only one or two chapters left, as my outline was originally constructed for 20 chapters if I can transition all the needed info into these last two chapters. We shall see, but look for updates because I promise they are indeed coming and I absolutely will not leave this story unfinished.

*New Project (2013 or 14): I am in the planning stages, of a new Orphen fic, provided I finish a few other current manuscripts and have the time. This one will be my first AU, in a modern timeline. The project is currently untitled, but the outline has a working title of "Minotaur".

*The Ashes of Nayru (Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time events based with mixed canon from various world incarnations), 4 Chapters posted. PROGRESS, another chapter almost completed! I can't believe it's been two years since I've updated this story, and TEN YEARS since I started it. I should likely go back to the first chapters and rework them, as my writing style is not the same as it was ten years ago. I've had a LOT of questions and offers to help get it moving, and I appreciate everyone's interest very much. I promise that I absolutely WILL finish this story once I get a handle on its ending. My current outline spans about 15 chapters worth at this point. Will be incorporating Skyward Sword and info from the upcoming Hyrule Historia into the story once I get my hands on it.

A note to those who have asked about some old deleted stories:

So, many years ago, when my penname was different, I had two FF8 stories published here, "Memento Mori" and its sequel, "The Ghost Children", which I have since removed. I've actually had several people recently ask me what happened to them and if they were available anywhere online, and the answer to that is no. I wrote those when I was much younger, actually ten years ago, and I just find them so unbearably embarrassing and bad that I just couldn't bring myself to leave them up or make them available anywhere. So...sorry about that.


1. Lacrimosa » reviews
A long-forgotten calamity resurfaces to give rise to a horrific plague. A tragic domino effect unearths secrets and demands a sacrifice. Of course, the way he saw it, it's only a sacrifice if you get a choice... O/C pairing, rated M due to graphic imagery, gore/violence, dark themes, strong language & mature content.
