Author has written 58 stories for Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy XII, Supernatural, Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, Heroes, Being Human, Watchmen, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Terminator, Mass Effect, True Blood, Dragon Age, Avengers, Batman Begins/Dark Knight, Hobbit, and Banlieue 13.

xahra99 is the pen name of somebody who is English, and still in denial about this whole fanfiction thing.

I archive most of my fic here. My epic ff8 trilogy is the longest by far, but there's quite a lot of Ubisoft fic (Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 and Prince of Persia), as well as Bioware (Dragon Age. Mass Effect) topped by a sprinkling of TV and film fic: Supernatural, Being Human, True Blood,Terminator: Salvation, Dr Horrible, Watchmen and Heroes The Dark Knight and the Hobbit.

For fanfiction of a more adult nature, fanart, original stories and the occasional rant visit my livejournal at http://xahra99.livejournal.com/

I also write occasional original short stories for the webzines 'the book of imaginary beasts.' and 'bang bang shoutetsu' which can be found at the appropriate livejournal communities and on my own livejournal (see above).

Story Notes:

FF8:

The three novel-length (oh, dear) stories of the FF8-based Satellites Trilogy posted here were written between early 2002 and late 2006 . Goverment Bloodhounds, the first in the series, deals with Seifer's mostly unsuccessful attempt to flee post-Sorceress War reprisals. Its sequel, South Down The Coast; features him trying simultaneously to deal with his past and get into Quistis Trepe's knickers. The last in the trilogy, Recovering The Satellites, tells the story of his eventual return to Balamb Garden, and what happened next. There's sex and violence, heroes and villains, monsters and, well, more monsters.

Ubisoft:

The shorter serial fics of my Assassin' Creed 1 and 2 stories can all be read alone, but chronologically go something like this:

AC1

After The Age, The Cross and the Sword, The Length of God's Patience (in-game), The Straight Path (in-game), The Favour of Heaven, Both Worlds as Our Companion, The Word of God and the Treasures of Wisdom, An Assembly of Bones.

AC2

Murderer (set post Lineage), The Sparks Fly Upward(in-game), This Course of Fortune(also in-game), Of Hell and High Water, Only The Devil Laughed and the short slash piece The Seventh Circle, which can be found at my livejournal.

This journal is up and running again after my seven month trip from London to Sydney. Enjoy!
