Meta- 

On Beth's breakdown- Some seem convinced that Beth spiraled in Ep. 6 because she was having a tantrum over losing in Paris, but I think the show has illustrated all along that the cause was something else entirely.

On the causes of Beth/Benny's split- Fandom seems to really blame Beth for her breakup with Benny. I don't think it's that simple.

The Vampire Diaries

Fic:
One-shots
Shoes- Tyler/Caroline. That love scene from Tyler's POV at the end of 3x01 "The birthday party". Rated M/R since this is through Tyler's eyes and he is always unflinchingly honest, even about his own imperfections.

Coming to terms- Caroline/Tyler. Because Caroline is the kind of girl who would have had the perfect names picked out. T.

Reconnect- Caroline/Tyler, set immediately after 4x08. Because they really need to touch base again after all the crap this season. Rated M/R for sex, language, bloodsharing and self-harm.

Thaw- Caroline, Tyler and a doorway. Angsty hot/cold themes, emotional vs. physical struggles and door metaphors. And the obvious parallels from canon. Set right after 4x09 Rated K.

Deleted from Memorial- Caroline has issues. Set during 4x02. Caroline, Stefan and Damon the morning of the memorial. And then Forwood. Rated T- minor language and suggestive themes.

Function- Set between 4x06 and 4x07. Because they can make it work even if they're broken. Forwood, rated M/R for suggestive language.

Fighting Futility- Angst, Post 4x14, Forwood. Liz can't protect her daughter from much anymore. But little things can sometimes make a difference. Rated K/G.

The way- Angst/Romance, post 4x14, Forwood. Even if it takes a lifetime, they'll find a way.

A beast in a box- AU, Drama. Bonnie's spell in 4x12 ends up permanent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Series:
A leaf in the wind; a deal with the devil- Post 4x14 The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Tyler is on the run when he gets an unexpected visitor. Rated T/PG-13, Drama/Adventure, Katherine, Tyler, Forwood.

A link in the chain; a cat in the cradle- Sometimes the underdog scores. Part 2. Warning: there is anti-American political commentary on the Vietnam war in this chapter.

A bird in a cage; a slant on the subject- Caroline reflects on life without Tyler; Tyler and Katherine disagree.

A thaw in the chill; a meeting of mice- Tyler and Katherine continue to butt heads and she finally reveals Tyler's role in her plan

Batman/The Dark Knight

Revelations

Bruce/Selina post- "The Dark Knight Rises". Taking off masks as they make their way to Florence


Set fire to the rain- Basically how to survive getting stabbed and then dodge a nuclear blast. :P This is formatting really weird and LJ kept blanking out whole bits for me, so please comment if it has disappeared!

The fear you won't fall- Bruce may be a paranoid guy, but Selina is the more emotionally cautious of the pair and I've tried to show that here as they embark on a relationship. Rated M for non-explicit adult situations.

Pieces of me- Inspired by damnyouautocorrect and a question: who exactly is Selina's roommate?


No apologies- One shot. Reflections during Gotham's occupation. Selina-centric with just a taste of Batcat. She might not apologize in the film, but there is more to her than that...




Final Fantasy VII

Discretion
Reeve/Rufus set after DoC. Because the need to create is divine, but the need to love is only human.

Dilemma- A man who wishes to repay a debt to the Planet. A man who has been instrumental in both saving and rebuilding it. And a solution to the energy problem in a world without Mako.

Stay- A little staycation might end up as more than a fling...



Full Circle
Twelve months of Cloud/Tifa set between Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus. Moving forward, one step at a time. Shortlisted for Best Het Romance in the 2008 Genesis Awards.

September: (Aftermath) Come together- obvious I know. Yes, this assumes that AC occurred in August.

October: (Interlude) The sex haze month.

November: (Symbiosis) Idea for the chapter was the title. This was the basic idea for their relationship as well. That ying/yang way they were depicted in AC totally got to me.

December: (Winter Blaze) The proposal/snowboarding holiday chapter.

January: (Penance) DoC left two things to settle here- Geostigma remains and the ribbons are gone.

February: (Triangles and Resolutions) Not all relationship triangles are romantic. Social commentary disguised as fanfic.

March: (Special Delivery) An experiment in writing style: two timelines and dialogue-only sections.

April: (Promises) A dawn to dusk wedding chapter. My first song-fic.

May: (Memories) Again, title focused. The honeymoon.

June: (A Taste of Home) A long-delayed return to Nibelheim.

July: (Level Up) On forgiveness and growth. And a mini-environmental rant, to boot. My first beta-ed chapter, thanks to the lovely and talented Jenny Rocker

August: (Preludes to War) See NRG frown. See NRG plot. See NRG retcon like Nomura ought. Seriously: where is everyone for most of DoC?

Epilogue: (Full Circle) Death, and life in the face of it. Just the ordinary way of things...

References Spoilers abound, so click at your own risk.


The darkest hour... A drabble on grief. A missing moment from Advent Children. Our first Christmas without Stephanie led to this. Third place winner for Best Drabble in the 2008 Genesis Awards.

Get a beta, already A sarcastic piece on typos in the FFVII fandom. Turning badfic into something hilarious.

Yes- we do write because we have to. Some ppl think I'm nuts, or they think books are boring or writing is a waste of time. I can't get away from it though. I have to write, all the time, whenever I can.

And a fantasy novel, ey? Great! Now you're entering original fiction just like me! Let's enjoy the process, shall we? XD (and what a long process it is.)

Anyway yay for links! I'll have to check out your other stories since I liked Full Circle so much. :)

Thanks! ^_^

Hey, nrg! It's Mari from GA. I just started reading Full Circle, so when I saw your name on Pied's f-list, I had to click on it. XD

I don't have much of a blog here, but I've wanted to rectify that for quite some time.

~Hoping to talk to you soon,

Well, I thought I left a comment before, but it looks like I forgot to click POST or something.

Full Circle is gorgeous. Well written, and touching on some of the things that I think need more explanation, too. The Cloud/Marlene/Barret chapter is a favorite, as is Preludes to War.

That could be... I played DoC, though, during my "must learn everything about FFVII" phase, so I had no trouble. (^_^)

My user name? It's something I've had for almost eleven years now. When I first started writing fanfic it was for Rurouni Kenshin, so I wanted an RK-related name. And I didn't want to use Kaoru or Megumi as there were going to be a million of them if there weren't already. Sekihara Tae runs the local restaurant in the manga and in the anime. She's female, there's a connection to the series, but she's neither glamorous or particularly important so I figured it was a safe choice. And I patterned my website after a restaurant (with menus and waiters and stuff). It was cute eleven years ago, but kind of dated now, sadly. I should really update.

If you're interested: http://sekihara.dreamhost.com/Akabeko/

Sorry, long explanation for a simple question, huh?

I so need to read your fanfics. I think I've seen bits of your "Full Circle," but I keep meaning to sit down and read thoroughly when I can give you intelligible feedback. (And I know I had read the "Get a Beta Already" when it was still on ff.net.)

Would you mind if I friend you?

LOL, I like talking/listening about babies. ;) I ramble about my kids all the time, too--I totally understand how it goes. :D

From: [identity profile] kdrebo.livejournal.com
You being in Japan caught my eye and I was scamming over your entries and saw your kiddos picture and had to tell you that BABY is SOOOO ADORABLE.

I added you to my friends list as well, hope that's ok?

Oh I'm sorry! That's totally fine and I understand that. I was just being nosy. Yes I saw you in clothdiapering I think it was. I did read some of your journal to settle my curiosity. =)
