The bass dropped, and he was gone.”

Five years after the passing of Genkai, Yukina receives word from Botan of another loss, though this one is more unexpected. Rui, the koorime who raised her—and who flung her brother from the cliffs of Hyouga to almost certain death—has died. Compelled by a strangely human need for closure, Yukina decides to return to her homeland one final time to pay her respects, but the journey will not be easy, and there is no guarantee of her return. With support from her Human World friends, she prepares to set out for Demon World and Hyouga itself expecting to be the only one burdened by things unresolved, but she is in for a surprise when Hiei declares that he will accompany her. Time and unspoken understanding have not brought Yukina much closer to him, a fact that she both regrets and resents, but perhaps, of all those who could have joined her, Hiei will turn out to be the one she needs most.

Bonus Features: The summary may sound cheesy, but the fic is cheesier still. Fair warning.

Genre: Friendship, Romance, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Drama

Yusuke hasn't seen Hiei in two years. Until one day he shows up on his doorstep bloody and unimpressed. The fire demon is caught up in a world of trouble, accused of treason and the king of Makai after his head. He turns to Yusuke, the only person he knows without a doubt that he can trust. Now, it's up to Yusuke to crack the fire demon's icy exterior and learn the truth. Hiei's very life depends on it.

Bonus Features: Takes place in 1984. Heavy on video games.

Yusuke Urameshi knew, from the time that he was five, that his soulmate was Keiko Yukimura. Koto Orikasa knew, from the time that she was five, that she didn’t want a soulmate. Life didn’t work out the way either of them planned, but they’re going to try to make it work. Or die trying.

Etched Into Skin Like Scars by @tv-writes-ff (@totidem-verbis) For the Yu Yu Hakusho Big Bang @yyhbb Read it here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12621860/1/Etched-Into-Skin-Like-Scars

When I first read the summary for this story, I got a little giddy. I love Yusuke (obviously), I love fanworks that showcase minor characters, and I do like Koto a lot and always did think she and Yusuke had pretty compatible personalities. (Though she interestingly goes for Touya in the series... I would have guessed Jin myself hahah)

The "bonus features" description for the fic joked that this was either a rare pair or a crack pairing. My opinion may be biased, but I say while it's certainly rare, it's not really crack. The execution definitely isn't! The care and thought that went into it is impressive, and it's ambitious without coming off ridiculous or gratuitous. There's a clear sense of world-extension in the span of time beyond what we ever see in the series, and the structure of the story as it jumps back and forth through time is well done. And there's respect for the integrity and consistency of the characters. The myriad OCs are also integrated pretty well considering all the types of roles they have to fill (one-off characters, characters you need to sense have been around for a long time without us having been present for their original appearance/introduction to the characters we love, and still feel natural, and so on), and juggling so many things is not easy.

A lot happens in this story, so I thought long and hard about what an appropriate cover image would be. I decided to go with something more abstract/thematic instead of depicting a specific scene. The idea of the Words is an intriguing concept, so I wanted to make sure the image emphasized them - without spoiling things! It was an interesting exercise playing with texture to mimic scarring, and you (hopefully) can see a faint “my” added to the title in the illustration to emphasize the personal nature of the scars.

I've done a number of versions of a future Yusuke, and one of future Koto as well, so I jumped at the chance to imagine yet another take on this. Here, Yusuke's got that more sophisticated side wave (from volume 17), and his toushin marks are restricted to only the area where Raizen had his facial tattoo. Koto is pretty much the same, but I made her hair longer - makes sense to me that she'd want to cover her back in this story. I also wanted to draw them in their cute dance outfits in a way that you could see the full character design, hence the bonus drawing!

Thank you @totidem-verbis for crafting such an interesting story with such excellent characterization! I'm so glad I was able to read and illustrate your fic, and I hope this artwork does your work and your ideas justice!

Story Title: Resonance and Repetition

Pairing(s): Kurama/[male, OC], Kurama/Kuronue

Genre: AU, Fluff, Romance, Drama

Rating: M

Summary: “Kurama wished he was exaggerating the similarities between the two, but as far as his eyes could tell, it seemed like his dead partner had walked straight out of his final memories and into his stepfather’s company…’

Warnings: Alcohol, Mild Sexual Content

Author’s Notes: In which Kuronue may/may not have been reincarnated into a Male OC, hence the double pairing. It’s basically a fluffy reincarnation romance with a heavy dose of author appeal self-indulgence. Also, damn the bat. He knows what he’s done.

I love doing this event every year and hope to keep participating in it for how ever long that it continues. I admit this year I bit off more than I could chew by creating a much longer story than I could write in the time allotted. Three days before the final week I realized that I wasn’t going to make it without making changes so that’s why the last two chapter are so much shorter than the rest...

I was in a blind panic those last three days, trying to cobble together an ending. Last year’s big bang was during a bad time of the year for me and it was a longer story but this year’s entry was so much more stressful, lol.

I can’t wait to do it again next year though.

My fic is also posted on FanFiction, if anyone still goes there.

And last but certainly the most important part of this post, big thanks go out to @plantpun and @bottomofthewell for their gorgeous corresponding art. I’ll be leaving comments on my reblogs for both of you. Again for, like, the thousandth time, thanks so much to you both!

Please give thanks to @blacksilkenrose for hosting this year’s big bang yet again and check out everyone’s art and writings and give love, reblogs, and especially comments to everyone who participated as they get posted and for the weeks to follow. I definitely will be, though it might take me a while to do so, lol.

Title: Etched Into Skin Like Scars Written For: The Yu Yu Hakusho Big Bang Event @yyhbb​ Artist: @maiji Art: http://maiji.tumblr.com/post/164406179739  Summary:  Yusuke Urameshi knew, from the time that he was five, that his soulmate was Keiko Yukimura. Koto Orikasa knew, from the time that she was five, that she didn’t want a soulmate. Life didn’t work out the way either of them planned, but they were going to try to make it work. Or die trying.

2016 Year in Fics

I’m totally stealing the idea from @caseyvalhalla​ (minus all the stats because I have way too many little fics....also I might’ve cheated by copy/pasting them from my fic directory.....)

Total words for 2016:  144,768

This year’s top trends:

unfinished WIP that I keep saying I’ll update

not updating said WIP

a bazillion short fics

branching out with kinkfics and rarepairs and other fandoms

Goals for 2017:

get the ball rolling on this year’s fic writing

finish at least ONE of my WIP (probably Matters of Pride)

write more in other fandoms

write more.

Eternal thanks to:

@apiegohome​ (waifu!) and @nicayal​ for keeping me motivated all year long, listening to whatever nonsense happens to be coming out my mouth at any given moment...also for the figure skating AU (and especially nicayal for your wealth of figure skating knowledge) AND also for helping host @kh-worldsconnected​.

@princess-wasabi​ for always being enthusiastic about my writing, no matter what it is, and for providing me with so, so much art, ilusm my dear.  <3

@savaage-nymph​ and @keybaes​ for also spoiling me with art

@caseyvalhalla​ SEMPAI NOTICED ME!!  No, but seriously, chatting has been such a pleasure, and the solidarity of two non-traditional students has been very helpful these past couple months.  Also your input has been indispensable

many, many others who support my writing through tags, comments, replies, IMs, etc.  <3

PS:  putting the fic list under the cut because it got kinda long....

Matters of Pride (WIP) Rating: T Word Count: 16,113 Pairings: Sora/Riku Fantasy, modern AU Art/fic exchange with @savaage-nymph​ He’d never seen someone look so removed from their surroundings; sure, everybody lived in their own bubble while riding the train, but when Sora looked at him, it was more like he was on a different plane of existence.  Of course, that could have just been Sora being dramatic. Chapter 1: The 7:05 Chapter 2: Just a Scratch Chapter 3: Stalked Chapter 4: Coming to Terms Chapter 5: Instincts Chapter 6: Resources Chapter 7: Under a Dream Sky

Pilfering Silver (WIP) Rating: T Word Count: 9,768 Pairings: Sora/Riku Fantasy, genie AU #november Sora grew up as a street rat.  A mysterious boy, Ku, joined him on his adventures, until one day he disappears.  Sora seeks his friend afterward, and what he finds isn’t quite what he expected.  Can he be reunited with the boy he’s come to care for so much? Chapter 8: Competition Chapter 9: In Favor Chapter 10: Under Scrutiny Chapter 11: Incongruent

A Branded Nobody (WIP) Rating: M Word Count: 9,119 Pairings: Platonic only; Sea Salt Trio Fantasy, slavery AU; warnings for angst/drama, self-destructive thoughts, and references of abuse. It was there, just on the edge of the sector, that Axel’s focus turned to the dull blue eyes, flat like unpolished stones, but still such a stunning hue under those lowered lids.  Perhaps it wasn’t the best criteria to choose a slave by, but then, Axel had always been peculiar like that. Chapter 2: Cautious Steps Chapter 3: Nobody’s Name Chapter 4: Shades Between

Iced

Summary: All that glitters is not gold. Sometimes it’s just an overdressed ice skater trying to regain an ounce of composure after superman-bellyflopping a jump in front of his coach. But hey, everyone has off days. Since qualifying for Nationals and an unexpected locker room encounter with his fellow Sectionals medalist, Roxas has just been having a few more than usual of late.

Main pairing: AkuRoku Rating: T (for now) Chapter word count: 13,013 Co-Authors: @sylvermyth, @apiegohome, @nicayall AO3 Collection: http://archiveofourown.org/collections/Iced

- Sparks and Sparkles - Namesake - Ugly Duckling - At Second Glance - Charity Case - Shine a little

Partager (YOI) Rating: G Word Count: 1240 If anything, it was a sign of trust that Victor left Makkachin in the care of the Katsuki family.  In the care of Yuuri.

Patinage (YOI) Rating: G Word Count: 3643 “Yuuri…” Victor knelt in front of him, and Yuuri hissed in pain when Victor pulled one battered foot into his lap. “How long have you been a skater, hm?” It was chiding, but Victor’s hands were gentle as he inspected tender blisters and welts. “How are you supposed to skate your best when your feet are in such a poor state?”

sentiment (YOI) Rating: G Word Count: 1050 For all that Hasetsu was completely foreign to Victor, it was almost a relief to be there.  Never mind the Japanese assaulting his ears, the illegible signs, the culture that should be shocking him. The food was fantastic, the alcohol potent, and the hot springs—well, Victor was taking full advantage of that.

Glace (Yuri on Ice) Rating: T Word Count: 985 Yurio introspective. His wins feel empty, and when Victor runs off to Japan, he has a moment of self-discovery.

Coming Undone Rating: E Word Count: 2519 Pairing: VanVen Ventus fantasizes about Vanitas, even though he knows Vanitas is dangerous.  Somehow, that makes it more exciting.

Girls’ Night Out Rating: T Word Count: 5180 #yyhbb Divergence from Three Kings arc:  with most of Team Urameshi occupied in demon world, and Kuwabara cramming for exams, the human world is being assaulted by low-level criminals trying to take advantage of the absence of a spirit detective.    However, just because there’s no spirit detective, doesn’t mean there’s no one to defend against troublesome demons.  “So what do you say, Botan?  How about us girls tackle the problem, this time?”

Love Lessons Rating: T Word Count: 6172 Pairing: SoRiku Riku is the socially awkward math teacher.  Sora is the new PE teacher. Riku is instantly smitten, even as he embarrasses himself by spilling his coffee on Sora’s shoes. Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

Learning Curve Rating: M Word Count: 2329 Pairing: SoRiku Sequel to Love Lessons.  Sora and Riku have done little more than kissing, until Riku suggests a night in.  PWP, fluff.

statera Rating:  T Word Count: 1764 Pairing: VanVen (ish) #worldsconnected 2k16 The room where Ven slept remained undiscovered, and the world met its fate, even as he waited. And waited. And still, neither Aqua nor Terra came to wake him, and really, without his friends, he had no reason to wake. So he slumbered on.  No matter how well protected a place, or a person, there was always one thing that would find a way, past wards, and locked doors. Time.

I move the stars for no one Rating: G Word Count: 5592 Pairing: SoRiku (ish) #worldsconnected 2k16 …if they wanted it bad enough, humans could see the Goblin Realm, and the goblins who lived there.  Sora had always been that kind of person. He was a daydreamer, and saw a little bit of magic in everything. He’d always thought that there was a little bit more to the world than the world let on, and he wasn’t wrong, even if he didn’t know it.  A Labyrinth adaptation.

The draw of dreams Rating: T Word Count: 4798 Pairing: NamShi #worldsconnected 2k16 Miss Larxene and Mister Marluxia had taken her in readily enough, and they’d been gracious to her. Kind. At first. It had happened so gradually that she didn’t notice until it was too late. A sharp word over a small matter, until one word became a torrent of them, and then one day, the words were punctuated by blows. Not that anyone would’ve known, with the layers of petticoats that fashion decreed she wear, and long sleeves covering the bruises on her arms, and even if they had, who would care? She had no one.

The Light-keeper Rating: M Word Count: 2210 Pairing: AkuRoku #AkuRoku Month 2k16 The waves had broken above the rocks, leaving a trail of splintered wood, and there, clinging just above the waterline, was a man.  Roxas hesitated, searching for a safe path before climbing down to his aid.   “Hey.  Are you alive?”  Roxas groped for the the man’s arm, eyes straining against the darkness and rain that was still falling.

On the other end Rating: M Word Count: 1897 Pairing:  AkuRoku Roxas froze, eyes narrowing as he processed the overheard conversation. Of course he’d only heard one side of it, and out of context at that.   But even out of context, the last part of the conversation implied that Axel was lying to him about something.

Locksmith Rating: T Word Count: 1580 Pairing: Zemyx The apartment’s sole occupant, sitting in an armchair and sipping tea, was not Axel, and Demyx, in his surprise, said as much: “You’re not Axel.”  “No,” the man agreed.

Appropriation Rating: M Word Count:  1887 Pairing: AkuNo Heist/con man AU where Reno runs a ‘legitimate business’ and recruits Axel.

The cake is a lie Rating: T Word Count: 2474 Pairing: AkuRoku #fandomworkday2016 There’s nothing sweet about working at Minnie’s Bakery.   It’s a combination of retail and food service, with the usual run of cranky customers, and a manager who’s over-critical and overly creepy in turns.  It’s really not Roxas’s day, but that’s nothing unusual.  What is unusual is what’s waiting for him at the end of the day, a spark of light at the end of the tunnel.  Written for Take Your Fandom To Work Day 2016.

Voyeur Rating: M Word Count: 1458 Pairings: AkuRoku Roxas likes to watch his new neighbor.

Rikuzel Rating: T Word Count: 2816 Pairings: SoRiku Rapunzel, but with Riku.

Angora Roving Rating: T Word Count: 2291 Pairings: SoRiku Easter 2k16 In which Sora decides to adopt a pet rabbit, whose name is Riku.

Self-Indulgence Rating: E Word Count: 3521 Pairings: SoRiku microphilia kinkfic Even if the cookies didn’t say “Eat me,” they were still begging to be eaten, they were still from Wonderland, and Sora still shrunk down to size.  Instead of finding a way back to scale, Sora sets out to cause some mischief…and gets more than he bargained for. Part two, Incubi:  Sora and Roxas are incubi, and Axel is their prey.  PWP. Self-Indulgence Incubi

Organic Chemistry: Rating: T Word Count: 4808 Pairings: Zemyx, AkuRoku College AU; Christmas/Winter fic #khsecretsanta 2015 Lazy. Articulate. Enthusiastic. Hot. Zexion mentally ticked off the adjectives he’d accumulated for his chemistry professor, and tried to remember when he’d started using that last one. It was pointless and stupid to be infatuated with an instructor. Nothing would come of it except disappointment, although he had to admit, the way he fixated on the cadence of the guy’s voice during lectures made Orgo all the more interesting.
