Introduction

2008-07-29T19:47:00.002-05:00

This is my new site/blog dedicated to fanfiction. I had one before but it was incredibly unorganised and it drove me nuts. So... here it is. This is the "main page" and even though this was made mainly for my benefit, every is welcome. :) You navigate this place with either the links under "Index" to the left... or here. Everything's organised into their respective fandoms except for those who don't have enough fics to merit their own post. All fics go over certain of my qualifications (and no, they aren't that strict):

Be well-written (no glaring grammatical/spelling mistakes, etc.)
A good plot

I also have a number of fics that I go for:

I like slash and I usually don't like canon females (especially Ginny) - if at all.
I like dark fics (evil, suicidal/depression themes, etc.)
I like AUs. A lot. The more different from canon, the better.
I like violent/gory fics.
I like fics that make me think.

All right, with the introductions done, here's what I have here:

My Fics
This is where I put up links to all my fics and putting up new ideas.

My Fics

2008-07-29T19:12:00.004-05:00

This is a post dedicated to self-plugging. I mean, my fics are not as good a much of the ones I've listed, but this blog/site is dedicated to fanfiction so I might as well stick this here. Also, I may get really into writing it but by the fourth chapter, I need to really think. I only have two fics that are finished, one's only 5 chapters long and the other one is a one-shot. :) Anyway, I mostly host them on ff.net. Feel free to comment!

Harry Potter (A - I)

2008-07-29T15:12:00.004-05:00

This section is for Harry Potter, the guide to my first foray into these addictive waters. Since I've been reading it for about three years or so... maybe four... I have a whole lot more favorites stored, so this section is divided into three parts and they're still full.

A - I | J - Q | R - Z

First thing's first. I like dark themed fics and when the girl-side of me comes out, there will be some romance. Talking about romance, I like slash. Draco/Harry slash is my favorite. I hate Ginny/Harry fics though you may encounter one... or so. I mostly skip/ignore the parts when they're together. Now that that's out there... lets begin!

Death Note

2008-07-28T16:49:00.002-05:00

Death Note is the one and only manga/anime that I follow. It has a great plot and the questions it raises are very intriguing and nice to think about. In saying so, I'm not one of those who favors one over the other BUT I have to warn you guys: I. Like. Slash. Also, this fandom seems to have some of the most beautifully written pieces.

Abyssal Heart by Ashinan
His plan was flawless. He was supposed to be Kira. Him and that Amane Misa. Yet he hadn't factored in the weakening of his heart - He had never made mistakes. He had never moved without a precise plan to back him up. Yet everything was falling apart like a broken wall - Could one look past the facade? Could the other banish the part of him that desired confrontation? All that is needed is just one variable in an equation both fear to say out loud.

The Apartment by Evandar
When student Yagami Light moved into a new apartment, the last thing he expected was for it to be haunted.
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13
Notes: There's no romance as far as I know (there are only 2 chapters up so far) but it says there's to be an L/Light friendship and mentions Mello and Near. So far, it's pretty good and I really hated it when it ended but I'm sure Evandar will have more coming soon. It's rather similar to a Harry Potter fanfiction I've read before, but with a much more Death Note feel to it, so it's original in it's own way.

Kingdom Come by Nyx-Zephyrus
The Killer God has won his Utopia. Kira has the world in the palm of his bloodied hand, and he keeps his trophy chained up in his basement.
Pairing: Bit of a Raito/L thing going on... but not quite

Notes: This merits being under the "horror" category and is very dark. I mean, I found myself being sorry for L a good amount of the time. Either way, it's very well written and I love it. Unfortunately, it's WIP at 9 chapters (37,815 words).

Once is Once by Keyhala
In the year 2010, Kira’s will has almost become the law. Raito has no more competition as the chief inspector of the NPA. Even if the role of ‘L’ was relinquished a year earlier, at the same time as Near and Mello got wiped from history, he has no problem, since he holds the entire police force of Japan, as well as well as the role of the worlds ‘saviour’, Kira. There are slight complications with the now upcoming discussions about disbanding the police, but he doesn’t see it as a long-term problem.
Everything seems to be going fine, up until Friday the thirteenth of August, when something pretty unpredictable happens. One of the newly dead criminals, who got killed by Kira’s judgement, suddenly reawakens on the hospital, three hours after her death. Shocked at this information, Raito decides to get information from the woman. But she has no memories of her life whatsoever, only her name, age and a cryptic phrase; “Once is once – but everyone gains a second chance.”
Deciding to go home to think the entire situation over, he finds another shocking surprise waiting. For if a woman who has been dead can reawaken… then why couldn’t also someone else?
Pairing: L/Raito

L takes a gamble and makes Light an offer. Once the pieces fall into place, it's a race to see who can outmaneuver the other...and a long series of mistakes. Set just after Yotsuba arc, when Light has his memories.
Pairing:
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This is a story that features an L who is for justice - but will do most anything to get it. Hence the "shades of grey" portion of it. So... if you're looking for the pure Justice L... then you most likely will not find it here. For others? This is your fic. It's completed at 35 chapters (86,934 words).

Singing Through the Silence by ChanceXIII
Sometimes genius is as much a curse as a blessing. Kidnapped, tortured, and held hostage, Raito might have been alright. If it hadn't been for the never ending silence.
Pairing: L/Raito
Rating: R
Notes: An AU fic with Raito held in a hostage situation. It hasn't gone too far (2 chapters; 11,382 words) but we've made some progress - but I still don't know enough to say much about it. All I know is that I'm going to keep my eye on it. :)

Something Wicked This Way Comes by Aishuu
An alternate universe. L and Raito meet under different circumstances.
Pairing: L/Raito
Rating: PG-13
Notes: WIP at 22 chapters (46,187 words).

The Prince by Neverending Odyssey
He is not a saint. He is not God. Even his sense of justice is skewed. After all, how can Kira rationalize his use of the Death Note when he himself is nothing but a common criminal? A member of the yakuza?
Pairing: L/Raito
Rating: R
Notes: Even though it's still WIP and only at 13 chapters (123,063 words) at that, the chapters were pretty long so it still took a good amount of time. The way the author let us delve into Raito's thoughts made it that much better. Love it! And no, this is not ONLY because of the fact that I have a thing for yakuza-themed things. :)

The Prince of Death by K. Kotone
He thrived in a realm where decay and sloth ruled. He became something much more terrifying and refined. Yagami Light became a Prince among the Shinigami and what’s more…he’s given the gift to live again.
Pairing: L/Raito
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This is pretty interesting. It's one of those plots on Raito after he died - except he came back as a mortal shinigami to the time line at the beginning of Death Note. Again. It's WIP (10 chapters; 37,748 words).

This Black Lamb by ChanceXIII
Sometimes life is the question and death is the answer. Raito never understood life until he met death.
Pairing: Eventual L/Raito
Rating: R
Notes: Another fic focusing on Raito being rather smart and his journey growing up. Of course, with his incredibly logical mind, he's particularly rather detached from his emotions... It's pretty endearing. It's WIP (5 chapters; 32,669 words).

True Elision by Ezan
Raito dies and becomes nothing. But the Shinigami need his soul, so they give him a second chance. They recreate his spirit and send him to a hellish trial where he must face his living nightmares. Intense romance comes late in fic.
Pairing: L/Raito
Rating: R
Notes: This is a beautifully written piece - even scarily so. When the summary says "hellish trial," it means "hellish trial." Either way, I love this fic. It's WIP at 15 chapters (290,687 words).

Twilight

2008-07-28T14:08:00.000-05:00

This one is dedicated to the popular series: Twilight. Considering the fact that the series focuses on romance between a human and a vampire, it draws more females than males into its clutches. In short, most of them are romances. Also, since I ship the canon pairing... they will be Bella/Edward if there is a pairing.

What would've happened if Bella and Edward had been given a chance to love while they were human? Or, more specifically, when Edward was human? The story of two loves, a sickness, a war, all in the lovely year of 1918.
Pairing: Edward/Bella
Rating: PG-13
Notes: It's WIP at 20 chapters (20,516).

Hear No Evil by BlueSea14
No sound reached my ears. I brushed my hands over them frantically and tried to make noise, to hear myself, but there was no sound. I could hear nothing.
Pairing: Edward/Bella
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This stars Bella as a vampire with a catch - she can't hear. :) It's pretty good but it's still WIP (15 chapters; 66,196 words).

In Love and Music by Saiyachick
/1890 London/ Edward Cullen was the finest pianist in Pierce Academy, that was until he met the equally gifted Isabella Swan. In this defiant girl he found a rival, and most unexpected of all, he found love.
Pairing: Edward/Bella
Rating: R
Notes: The tone is more mature than the author's other word, Love in Affliction. It's new and is only 3 chapters long (7,813 words) so far, but it's going rather well.

Love in Affliction by Saiyachick
/1895 England/ Edward Cullen has always been a ladies man, but after seeing his late father's will, he must choose a bride before his eighteenth birthday otherwise his betrothal to the heinous Duchess of West Essex will be activated.
Pairing: Edward/Bella
Rating: PG-13
Notes: It's actually been a while since I last read this though I'll probably reread it again soon, so I can't say anything of worth besides that it's good and in character for the time period. I do recommend it. It is completed at 16 chapters (44,768 words) though.

Sunrise by BlueSea14
Twilight in Edward's point of view. Winner of Fanfiction of the Week a while ago, on the Twilight Awards.
Pairing: Edward/Bella
Rating: PG-13
Notes: WIP at Chapter 30 (250,149 words).

Pairing: Edward/Bella
Rating: PG-13
Notes: It's completed at 17 chapters (24,591 words).

To Be a Warrior by Blood Filled Tears
I am woman. I will be treated like a man. If I must look like a man to be equal than so be it. It is what I will do because the privileges of a woman today are nothing I can live with. What will I do to be a warrior? Anything. What will I do to be me? Everything.
Pairing: Edward/Bella
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Completed at 32 chapters (48,866 words).

Alex Rider

2008-07-28T12:36:00.002-05:00

Obviously, this post is dedicated to the Alex Rider fandom. I love the book series, even though I didn't quite read the last book - more like skimmed it - due to the lack of time and I was at the bookstore on a time crunch. Even so, this is one of my favorites and I'm still currently compiling. I did notice, so far, that a number of the fics have the same reoccuring theme and since a good number of them are WIP, there are no concrete pairings as of yet.

Number of Completed Fics: 1
Number of WIPs: 10
Last Updated: 01.01.09

An Object Lesson by amitai
Everyone in Alex's school has thought him a bit wimpy, ever since his uncle died, and he started spending more and more time off school... with no good excuse. How will they react when they find out just how wrong they were?
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13
Sequel: Case Study (WIP)
Notes: This is actually one of the first (if not the first) fic that I read from this fandom. It's completed at 13 chapters (44,686 words).

Attempt by amitai
Aged 16, things have gone very badly for Alex Rider. And, the way he sees it, there's only one way to set things right.
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This is a dark-themed fic and does deal with the theme of suicide in an Alex who's tired of everything. I'm not that surprised that he may turn out like this, but for those who are turned off by this, it's only prominent in the beginning. It's still a WIP (10 chapters; 25,914 words).

Choice is a Misconception by Scorpia710
Scorpia doesn’t take well to M16’s threats and attacks everyone Alex knows, Including the K Unit. The K Unit will have to put aside any grudges they have to keep Alex alive. But keeping him alive will be harder then they think. After Snakehead.
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13
Notes: It's a nice friendship/bonding fic between Alex and K-unit with a bit of adventure (of course) thrown in. It's still a WIP and is at 15 chapters and 58,162 words.

Death and the Underdog by xaritomene
MI6 has been out of Alex's life for two years now, leaving him free to get on with his life. Suddenly, he's being followed, people start dying, and worst of all, he's in it alone.
Pairing: None (so far)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This one is an interesting one and Alex ends up getting sucked back to his old life again. It's still a new fic with only 5 chapters (14,884 words) but I like the way it's portrayed and I want to know more. I can totally see a non-slash romance coming out of it, but we'll see.

Faint Hearted by Scorpia710
Wolf clenched his fists as a familiar face appeared on the screen. “Cub,” Fox whispered as he and the other three men stared at the next target and youngest member of the K Unit. Mix in everyone’s favorite assassin and what do you get?
Pairing: Unknown/None
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This is dark, violent, and may just possibly be rather gory/bloody in the future. It's WIP and it's a what if situation if the entire K-unit (including Cub) as well as Yassen Gregorovitch were bunched together in a situation parallel to those under experimentation under Hitler's reign. I've actually taken a great liking to it and I believe that it has a lot of potential. It's fairly short (11 chapters; 32,581 words) but it keeps you on your seat.

Hell is Other People by amitai
After a series of attacks, Alex's entire class is sent to be trained at the SAS training camp, to give them a degree of selfsufficiency to help them defend themselves. Unfortunately for Alex, he has to go with them... and not get noticed as 'different'.
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This is possibly the best Alex-and-his-class-goes-to-SAS-training fic that I've come across so far. Unfortunately, it's WIP (9 chapters; 48,995 words).

In Loco Parentis by amitai
When Jack has to go back to Chicago to be with her parents, MI6, as always, get involved with Alex's life, and arrange a guardian for him to stay with. Alex plus unknown guardian equals... oh dear.
Pairing: None (so far)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This is one of my favorites in this fandom. It's a WIP but still long enough to keep me content for a good amount of time (17 chapters; 79,290 words). The character development is nice and it isn't rushed nor forced and it's original even though the basic plot (Alex being looked after by Wolf) is a repeated one in the fandom.

Malagosto by Nyxelestia
It started out as marking the changes on his father’s reports on the Scorpia’s training facility, as a ‘favor’ to MI6. But with the discovery of John’s diary, Alex learns more about his dad than he ever dreamed of...and almost more than he ever wanted to.
Pairing: None (so far)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This is a relatively new fic (8 chapters; 26,717 words) and is still developing. Even so - you've got to admit the summary is pretty interesting, right? Well, this also seems to be those fics where Alex will eventually pick which side to place his loyalties in. I'm still waiting for more. ^_^

Operation Protect Cub by Ashadowofwings
AU, after Scorpia. Since the sniper failed, Scorpia has vowed to kill Alex before three weeks is up, and it's up to a certain SAS team to stop them....
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Honestly, the title made me apprehensive at the beginning, but the writing's pretty good and fairly serious when need be. This has a smattering of angst, drama, and friendly bonding. It's still a WIP (10 chapters; 27,259 words).

Repercussions by Emmy-loo
Alex Rider wants desperately to be normal. But when his class witnesses something they shouldn't, he has to deal with the consequences as well as prepare for a major storm that's brewing.
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13
Notes: WIP (13 chapters); well written and good story plot and it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Too Close to Home by Anne Phoenix
Alex only ever wanted a normal life, but when terrorists attack his school, he finds himself mixed up in a terrible plot. Against his will, Alex is thrust back into a world of violence and danger.
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This is another one of those my-secret-life-and-my-school-life-collides type of fics - but it doesn't dominate. There's some Alex-Yassen interaction and cooperation and I'll leave it at that. It's still a WIP (14 chapters; 17,362 words).

Other

2008-07-28T11:43:00.001-05:00

This section is dedicated to the other fandoms that I dabble in and there aren't enough fics that I enjoy (or at least I haven't found enough) to merit their own post. I'm not saying it's because they're small fandoms, it's because I focus on others more so I don't have the time needed to go through enough fics. :)

NOTE: Since this is seemingly random and there are not that many fics, I'll be putting everything in alphabetical order in order to get a semblance of organization, as well as under their fandom.

Number of Completed Fics: 5
Number of WIPs: 3

The O.C.

Fading by Vancouverite
Ryan is sick. It's not anything he can challenge to a fist fight. Seth can't bore it to death with mindless chatter. It's nothing Sandy can sue and take to court. For once, everyone is helpless.
Fandom: The O.C.
Pairing: Ryan/Marissa
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This is a sick!fic and the development of the illness is done realistically - also the way everyone's coping. Unfortunately, it was last updated a little over a year ago and it isn't completed (it's currently at 22 chapters) because the "suckiness" of the second season of The O.C. put her off. -_- Even so, I hope she continues it.

The GodAwfulFather by amitai
Ryan's dad has come back. Well, he wasn't nice before, and he's even less nice now... but Ryan won't let him hurt the Cohen's, so he keeps quite about what his dad's doing to him. Even when his dad starts to undermine everything Ryan ever wanted...
Fandom: The O.C.
Pairing: None (?)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: It's WIP at 13 chapters (41,985 words).

The Outsiders

Changing Tides by FeistyFeist
Soda receives a letter that could change his life. Instead it changes Ponyboy's.
Fandom: The Outsiders
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13
Sequel(s): Pavement Cracks, Paperweights (noted as 'story continuance but not specified)
Notes: Nice twist on the Vietnam War theme. :) Completed at 22 chapters (26,074 words).

Darkest Hour by Varinia
What if Pony had been seriously injured in the fire as well as Johnny? Will the gang be able to cope with it?
Fandom: The Outsiders
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13 for mature/sensitive themes
Notes: I actually like the Outsiders fandom, but many of the fics aren't completed or the writing is mediocre. This one is actually pretty good, but it deals with the theme of suicide and it's attempted once during the fic. The development of this is gradual and not rushed. It's 24,326 words and 22 chapters long and is completed.

Hell On Earth by Unknown Brilliance
Darry never decided to take care of Sodapop and Ponyboy, so what happens to them? Mostly Ponyboy.
Fandom: The Outsiders
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13
Sequel: Adjustment (WIP)
Notes: Dark themed with abuse and rape. Completed.

Push Alchemy by FeistyFeist
When Ponyboy Curtis had the accident, everything fell apart. The letter simply pushes everything forward as things will never be the same again.
Fandom: The Outsiders
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Completed at 23 chapters (60,736 words).

Pirates of the Caribbean

Contradictions by Veronica_Rich
This is an AU fic, breaking off from the movie’s events immediately after Barbossa’s defeat and death in the caves of Isla de Muerta. It’s about eight months later.
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean
Pairing: Eventual Jack/Will
Rating: Ranges from PG-13 to NC-17
Notes: This was written very well. It's descriptive enough to make you feel like you're there, but it's not quite as descriptive as some of those "classics" you're forced to read in English. There are only nine parts but each part is fairly long so it will take a while to finish. This fic is completed.

Forlorn Hope - Part 1: Lionheart | Part 2: Acclimation - by lebensbaum
Eighteen years after Will Turner stabbed the heart of Davy Jones, he stumbles upon someone he thought lost.
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean
Pairing: Jack/Will
Rating: R
Notes: Like the summary says, this is the Will who takes over the Flying Dutchman. I was in the mood for a brief change in fandoms and I came across this and it made me want more. It's long in length (each "part" is also subdivided) and the plot is intriguing (as well as the 'current' Will). The relationship isn't rushed. BUT this appears to be abandoned - a warning to those that can't stand reading WIPs (or abandoned good fics).
