Takebuo Ishimatsuhide bio
 Author has written 30 stories for Final Fantasy VII, Merlin, Ouran High School Host Club, Batman Begins/Dark Knight, Justice League, Batman, Teen Titans, and Young Justice. Ok, my main writing focus has shifted to the DC Universe, with the Batfamily in particular. I still write some of FFVII & Merlin (BBC). They're just sparser at the moment. Favorite pairings that you're likely to see in my fics: Rude/Reno, Rufus/Tseng, Arthur/Merlin, Batman/Superman, Nightwing/Flash (Wally), & Superboy/Red Robin. However, those are hardly definites for my stories. To find my fics elsewhere, I also post on my LJ, and I'm planning on adding a few pieces to World's Finest. (I do so love that archive. Go check them out!) Other than those two, the main place to find all of my fics (both NC-17 & allowed) is my Archive of Our Own space, which will soon have everything. I don't like to spread my stuff all over the internet, so if you see my fics anywhere but those three places and here, please let me know since it may not have been me. "A Matter Of" Series Order (Subject to change depending on fic's place in the timeline) Third in my Ouran series (NC17!!!) is posted at AO3 here: archiveofourown .org/works/149699 (remove space). Or, you know, just google my username. I'm sure my AO3 profile will show up in the results somewhere. |
