(KINGDOM HEARTS)

Hide and Seek: An elegant, abstract Clerith from Cloud's point of view. Dedicated to the wonderful Unforgettable Green Eyes.
Diapaneity: Clerith. 50 sentences for lj. Explorative, abstract prose that reads like gossamer. Inspired by SecretBox's beautylove.
Maybe Home: Epic, sweet Sokai oneshot, winner of sunflowerb's contest! Personally, this is one of the more intriguing things I've written in terms of writing style.
Espy: This is a big drabble collection, mostly built on reader requests. It is my favorite project here. All about the Hollow Bastion crew. GO READ IT.
Dream: A oneshot. Cloud has an experience after the Olympus affair that changes the course of his life. Quite wonderful.
Retreat And Advance: My very first fic. (previously called It Hurts Too Much To Wait) The Islands are under attack and Sora's not back: what's Kairi to do? Complete.
Search Party: Chaos and battles ensue as the Islanders team up with the FF team to find Sora. And of course, what's an adventure without mysterious new powers and a tratior back from the dead? Complete.

(MAXIMUM RIDE)

OOC and Other Natural Disasters: My first venture into the realm of parody. What NEVER do do when writing Maximum Ride characters!
Ten Plus Ten: The much-requested sequel/companion to my hit fic, "Ten Ways." It follows the exact same style and tone of the original, then expands on it. I think this pair of fics is the best I've written in the Maximum Ride fandom, possibly in any of my fandoms.
Inquisition: Fang, Dr. Martinez, and the sex talk. I just couldn't resist this one. Some Fax thrown into the awkwardness for good measure, of course.
After: A tanget on Max's thoughts, directly post-FANG. One of the more eclectic styles to be found in the Maximum Ride forums. It's more raw emotion than anything I've ever written.
Eclipsed: A 50 sentence challenge, through Livejournal. Again, totally fun to write. Fax, fun, read.
Ten Ways: A nice little oneshot where we get to see Fang's thoughts on Max. I really like it. It now has a sequel/companion, "Ten Plus Ten." If you liked the original, you need to go read the next one.

(SLY COOPER)

Grey: My entry fic into the Cooper fandom. Sly and Carmelita get stuck in an air vent together, and learn a bit more about themselves. Way fun and Sly.Carm, of course.
Jefe: While visiting her father's grave, Carmelita is rudely interrupted by Sly. Through awkward moments, the two come to terms. Sly.Carm.

(ARTEMIS FOWL)

Fermata: My own little epic. It deals with Commander Vinyaya finding an abandoned demoness and being forced to take care of her. Things go terribly wrong, and Vinyaya finds herself in way too deep. It's about family, learning to let go, and learning to hold on. On a serious hiatus. Sorry. Don't know if it will ever be finished.
Failure: Written for Artemis Fowl Fangathering's Five Times Challenge. The five times Foaly failed when proposing to Caballine.

(NARUTO)

(post-hiatus)

Vanguard and Wasp: An expansion on manga #540. Shino and Hinata are put on guard duty together, and enjoy the quiet together. Shino reflects on the wasp, the moth, and his teammate.
Warned: A tiny little drabble with Shibi, Shino, and Naruto. Reaction to manga #535.
(pre-hiatus)
Blind Observation: A Shino piece. Drabbleish, and took me forever! A look at how he sees his team. (some shinohinata if you squint)
Crayon Hearts: A shot at the Sand Sibs when they were kids, and what is really valuable in Suna.
Family Resemblance: A one-shot about Kankuro and Temari, that is NOT a drabble and has a storyline!
30 Ways To Irritate Aburame Shino: The title is pretty clear. I had lots of fun with this one.
Gossamer: I didn't spend as long on this one-shot, but I like it a lot. An unsent letter to Hinata from Shino. (onesided shinohinata)
30 Ways To Tick Off Kankuro: After the success of Shino's 30 Ways, I had to do this.
Revealing: This is a ShinoHina one-shot, with anecdotes encased in a drabble, sort of. Dedicated to Santirea.
Sightlines: This was sitting on my computer for a really long time half-finished. It was before I discovered the TemaShika pairing I'm so fond of (so troublesome). So it's a bit of a KibaTemari fic, hints of romance with lots of the dry, sarcastic humor that Temari is so good at.
Whiskey Lullaby: Extremely sad, angsty, character deaths. A shot of what Team Eight may look like if they didn't hit it off so well. There's a bit of onesided ShinoHinata, as in almost all of my fics. Not much, though.
Cat And Mouse: My first ShikamaruTemari piece. Once again, this was sitting on my computer for a really long time half-finished. But inspiration hit, and lo and behold, Cat And Mouse is born!
