FANFICTION ARCHIVE

I've always been such an anime fangirl ever since I was hooked on the otaku culture. I've been writing fics for years, not religiously though, but I do try to keep the flames of fanfic writing burning. I usually come up with one or two fics a year and that's totally a miracle considering my abnormally busy work schedule. All my fics are hosted in RD2002 but I recently decided to also place them here so I could update more often. Cloud^ runs the parent site so I don't want to be too demanding *pats* ototouchan. Below are some of the fics I've salvaged from my collection long ago. I had so many before but with all the upgrading and revamping for the past few years, I just couldn't keep track where I placed (or misplaced) the files. Anyway, I've been writing more regularly these past few months so hopefully, this section will gradually expand as the days go by. In the meantime, enjoy the fics and I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd leave a comment or two using the form below.

NOTE: I do not own any of the characters in my fics, only the original or insert characters, nor do I own the original plots. This is purely a non-commercial, literary pastime on my part. Standard disclaimers apply to all works featured here.

You Never Said "I Love You"
Series: Slam Dunk
Rating: PG 13 (for the pairing involved)
Genre: Angst, romance
Status: Complete
Date added: December, 2007
Notes: Inspired by the song lyrics from Weib Kreuz, this fic was written to serve as a memory of a love I thought I’d lost only to find out that I never lost it in the first place. I just never saw through the clumsy kindness of that person. Again, this is written from Sendoh’s POV. I will be making a sequel from Rukawa's POV soon. I’m in an angst-writing mood which would explain the uniform plot-themes I’ve been doing.

Goodbye to Eternity
Series: Slam Dunk
Rating: PG 13 (for the pairing involved)
Genre: Angst, romance
Status: Complete
Date added: sometime in 2007
Notes: One of my favorite yaoi couples. The SenRu spirit has always been alive within me and I'm pretty sure that more and more fics will be born as a tribute to these gorgeous men of Slam Dunk. (I'm just a totally crazed Rukawa fan-girl, if you must know). This is how I envision Sendoh's thoughts on where he stands with Rukawa. Songfiction, one-shot.

Time After Time
Series: Flame of Rekka
Rating: GP (for all audiences)
Genre: Romance
Status: Complete
Date added: sometime in 2005
Notes: My name isn't Yanagi for nothing. This was written as a tribute to the first anime couple, Rekka x Yanagi, who have inspired me to write a non-yaoi, non-shounen ai fic. I wrote a Kenshin x Kaoru fic before, but it wasn't very original since I had difficulty with the "normal pairings." This was really an accomplishment for me.

Take My Breath Away
Series: Hunter x Hunter
Rating: PG 13 (slightly strong language)
Genre: Shounen-ai
Status: Complete
Date added: sometime in 2005
Notes: An achingly sweet Leorio x Kurapika songfic set right after the Genei Ryodan arc. "Take My Breath Away" from the movie Topgun has always been one of my favorite songs and the lyrics just had to be turned into a fic for these two.

Summer Tryst
Series: Get Backers and Yuyu Hakusho
Rating: PG 13 (slightly strong language)
Genre: Shounen-ai
Status: Complete
Date added: sometime in 2005
Notes: A one-shot encounter between the beautiful Fuchoin Kadsuki of GB and our favorite alluring youko Kurama of YYH. I couldn't resist the pairing since I lost sleep thinking about these two for weeks on end.

My Stupid Mistake
Series: Groove Adventure Rave
Rating: GP (for all audiences)
Genre: Alternate Universe (AU), romance, comedy
Status: Ongoing
Date added: sometime in 2005
Notes: I stopped writing this fic because I had problems with the series being cut halfway and never continued after that. However, I now have the e-manga so inspiration is dawning (I think) once again. I'm currently writing more chapters for this fic.

Glass Hearts, Crystal Tears
Series: RK, FOR, Pretear, Angel Sanctuary, and other animes.
Rating: GP (for all audiences)
Genre: Alternate Universe (AU), romance, crossover
Status: Ongoing
Date added: sometime in 2005
Notes: I started out all excited when I first wrote this fic but I'm rapidly losing inspiration, maybe that's been untouched for nearly two years. I'm planning on finishing it though, I still remember the plot I want by heart.

Birth of the Red Rose
Series: Rurouni Kenshin
Rating: GP (for all audiences)
Genre: Angst
Status: Complete
Date added: sometime in 2004
Notes: A really sad, romantic tragedy with Kenshin x Kaoru set in a Greek mythology timeline.

All Star Cast
Series: Just a potpourri of characters from several of my old-time favorite anime series.
Rating: GP (for all audiences)
Genre: Comedy, drabble
Status: Complete
Date added: sometime in 2004
Notes: The author's visualization of the scenario when a jumble of anime characters would find a lost "champagne bottle."
