( 'Hey,' he says, and he grins at Roxas, and yeah, it's friendly, but it's not Being Friendly, and that's different enough that he doesn't just walk off. )

[KH/LoZ:WW|Fusion AU|Roxas, Axel|G|938 words]

        ( 'Huh,' said the bird. Roxas kept sleeping, oblivious. It shuffled a little more, and looked at him out of its right eye, this time. '...am I supposed to peck his eyes out, or something?' It thought for a moment. 'No, wait, that's ravens. Hmm.' )

Put my name up a few days ago, but I haven't heard back. Um. If I need to wait 'till I do, I can take everything down 'till then.

If not, shall be posting twice a week, more or less. Perhaps a little more often; it depends more on my memory than anything, and that's always kinda iffy.

Title: Reboot From Start

Rating: PG (themes)

        ( A week ago, everything had been normal. Or maybe it hadn't. Roxas isn't so sure, anymore. )

Title: Dragonfly
Author: roruna
Fandom: Discworld, Firefly
Characters: Vimes and the Watch mostly.

Warnings: Obscenely long fic. Just the prologue turned into 14 pages when I wasn't looking.
Theme: #1. Meta - Crossover
Rating: PG-13.
Summary: Sam Vimes, captain of the dragonfly class bulk transport ship, "The Watch" is just trying to get by in the 'Verse after the Unification War. He's got a crew made up of a fellow Browncoat (Carrot Ironfoundersson), two ex-coppers from his old police department in Ankh-Morpork, Dyton. (Nobby Nobbs and Detritus) and an engineer (Havelock Vetinari) who is very good friends with the Companion (Rosie Palm) renting Vimes' shuttle. Life in the 'Verse was complicated enough just making ends meet but when an old flame of Vimes' (Sybil Ramkin) turns up needing passage to Athens, Vimes is going to really miss the simple days when he just had to kiss Badger's arse for a job

Title: Projects Part 3
Author: jessara40k
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Pairing: past Zack/Sephiroth, past Genesis/Sephiroth, past OMC/Sephiroth, Cloud/Sephiroth
Rating: R
Warnings: Slavery, slash, implied experimentation, implied abuse, implied bastard Zack
Theme: 39 owner/slave

( “If I can’t find a plan that would let me keep Sephiroth by the time I hit First Class I swear I’ll talk to him about what might happen with his next owner and ask him to prepare for that. But any plan I can create would be much improved if you can show that he’s capable of understanding most of the things you do here - and more importantly of explaining them to people without your training.” )

Hi guys! For anyone who's porting over to Dreamwidth, I've created a port of the site over there: Roads Diverged on DW -- feel free to go pony up over there if you'd like/prefer! Those who want to stay here are perfectly good, too. :D

New themes list will be coming out soon, to sort of complement the kink-only round going on at no_true_pair: something more gen-like. *g* If anyone has any ideas, feel free to toss 'em up!

Title: TO MR. IVAHN CHANDLERSOHN
Author: ivoryandhorn
Fandom: Original - The City Adel
Pairing: Pevi/Ivahn (uh, more like Pevi --> Ivahn in this one?)
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Theme: Society #17: high society
Notes: ~1400 words. Written not long after I'd read The Coquette for school, while the style was still earwormy. This isn't a completely faithful reproduction of the writing style of the time, just...my mental impression of it.
Summary: Just a note between friends.

( Perhaps the best I can do is only to endeavor to explain, and hope that you will look favorably upon my words and desperate exhortations, even if only by the obligation of our past friendship. )

Author's Notes: Ok, so now the prologue is out of the way and we're starting on... I guess Episode One which... I'm still not done with. I did say that it was going to be wicked long...

Hello, good people of roads_diverged! This here is K, and I'm the new ninja-type helping out with the running of this comm! (Read: I'm the one being terribly late at life, the universe and everything. *g*)

Here's a few updates on what's been up the last few months!

Claims: completed!

As laylah updated a while back, we have three amazing people (thank you, cleflink, for the correction!) who've finished up their claims; congratulations!

ivoryandhorn completed a mixed bag of fics for an original, The City Adel: Ivahn/Pevi!

ciceqi, with mad skills, finished two mixed bags: one Final Fantasy VII: Sephiroth/Zack/Cloud and the other Vagrant Story: Ashley/Sydney!

And I finished up my own Final Fantasy VII: Tseng fic mixed bag. :D

Claims: in good stead!

Challenge rules state that everyone should be posting at least a little something every 3 months! :D The good and excellent poster who falls into the green zone are:

roruna, who last updated earlier this month in March.

\o

jessara40k is one-off from finishing her Final Fantasy VII: Cloud/Sephiroth fic mixed bag!

Claims: IN THE RED ZONE

I know that there's been a bit of burn-out going on in IJ fandom, especially with the madhouse combination of kinkfest and areyougame and, lord knows, yuletide over the past quarter. NO FEAR, I am here to highlight your names and mine in red sharpie! [edit: only I would not know that I've finished my own claim. *facepalm*]

logistika_nyx, elanor_pam, tainted4life, badpenny, jlsigman, kanjoku, ani_mama, mithrigil, madamhydra, lindenleaves, arianne, appleqb and strawberry_smut last updated in a range of dates between March (guiltyface) and December 2008. DDDDDDDD:

If your name is on that list, PLEASE DO SIGN UP HERE FOR:

• A bunch of cookies
  
• Some hugs
  
• A dose of inspiration

Want a new set of themes? Want to change your claim to or from a mixed bag? I'm up for cooking up a new bunch of themes & prompts so that everyone has some fresh ideas to continue on from. :D Leave me a jab in the comments, and if you guys are agreeable, I'll get them out in the week!

Claims: over the hill?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that anyone who hasn't updated in the last year is probably not really interesting in maintaining a claim any more. D: I'll be pruning those dead claims and posting a new list tomorrow.

BUT MAYBE I AM DELUSIONAL AND WRONG! If your name is not on the two lists above but you still want to finish up, leave a comment here within a week and I'll re-add you to the claimant list!

♥

Once again, a thousand apologies for not keeping up with you guys! New claims are ON THE WAY if you want them, so rev your engines (or oil them slowly with a clean cloth, or go on foot): two roads diverged in a yellow, I took the one less taken, and that landed me with a boatload of fic. :D

Author's Notes: Here's part two of the prologue so hopefully things will make sense now. I was kinda annoyed when the whole first part of the prologue was in italics. I hadn't met for that. Hope y'all like it.

Author's Notes: How shall I put this? I took a bunch of characters from Discworld, tweaked their backgrounds so they'd fit into the 'Verse and gave them a ship. Mostly to see what would happen. There are mentions of the crew of Serenity and there's going to be a part (or two) when they're all together. I'm pretty sure that it makes sense in my head... Let's hope that the prologue is as helpful at setting the stage as I think it is. And I really, really hope you all like it. But I gotta say, it' s so much fun when Vimes cursing in Mandarin.

( Cloud looked down at Sephiroth - if he hadn’t mentioned his dreams Cloud would have thought he was lying for some reason, even though by now he must realise that Cloud had no intention of bedding him. )
