They don’t like to remember much about the Dregs, the two of them. But they are certain of three things. )

Series: Part 2 of the Spring Winds, Summer Rain (春風夏雨) series.
A.N.: Thank you everyone for giving Wind Sweeping Away Lingering Snow such a warm reception! It was partially because I kept responding to comments that I got bunnied hard while thinking of all the voices that didn’t get much screen time in that story, so to speak. So here we are.



It isn’t until cast iron bangs together in a ringing echo that Fa Zhou realizes that his mother had slipped away from the table. )

Summary: Mulan’s not lost, exactly. She’s just... taking the long, scenic route around to find her way back from the war. Wherever that may lead her...
Series: Part 1 of the Spring Winds, Summer Rain (春風夏雨) series.
A.N.: For lmeden. Happy Yuletide! I hope you enjoy this story as a send-off to 2017. May 2018 be even better for you!

The Romanizations are all over the place in this fic mostly because the movie did a crap job of actually making it transliteratively consistent (which Chinese dialects? Which Chinese regions?? Which Romanization system Disney augh), and for that I apologize.



Mulan is back from the war, and completely lost. ...Well. Not quite. )

A.N.: This thing spent 3 years marinating in a Mostly Finished state and I figured my ratio of satisfaction against vague discontent with it won’t shift much more than it has after one final polish. Please enjoy, and hopefully nobody will suffer indigestion??

Summary: Journeys hinge on ones – one step forward, one choice to make. The end of the world – and the beginning of a new one – won’t change that.
Series: Part 1 of the Wayfinding series.
A.N.: For lace_agate.

Every playthrough I ever made through Bastion ended with the Pecker chick lost to my party. So that’s going to be reflected in my headcanon moving forward.

The inclusion of wayfinding was almost entirely inspired by Disney’s excellent Moana.

Title: The Gathering
Rating: PG-13
Genre: General
Word Count: ~1000+
Warnings: Dark themes, including violence, gore, starvation, and refugee psychology. Also a drunken timeline mash of both the original and the movie events where possible, no thanks to Tolkien himself not knowing/writing down half the secrets of the Dwarves in his mind, and Sir PJ and Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens simplifying it into a giant accounting mess where the years don’t add up and my literary headcanon got flipped ass over teakettle and etc.

Summary: Twelve dwarves, one wizard, and one hobbit answer Thorin Oakenshield’s call for companions on the quest for Erebor. This is a story of their marshalling.
Series: Part 1 of The Tales In-Between series.
A.N.: THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. After a year the block on this thing finally relented and let me write the last three unfinished chapters! Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur just weren’t cooperating, and then The Desolation of Smaug derailed some of my plans for chapters in Part 2. So the bad news is that Part 2 is still nowhere near done being drafted. The good news is that the rest of Part 1 IS. I just need to find time to edit, finalize and format the chapters for sharing.

As always, thanks for reading!

VIII. It’s one of the best lessons Mother had taught him, and Bofur’s put it to excellent use too many a times to count. )

Warnings: Sexual and/or suggestive situations. Language. Mentions of drug use. Body image issues. Religious discussions.

Summary: Every member has his own quirks. Even in intimacy. Especially in intimacy. A collection of vignettes about Super Junior members.
A.N.: Pairings, ratings, and summaries can be found within individual chapters.

This started as an exercise in writing short stories (read: less than 1000 words) that quickly spiralled out of control and ended up taking me the better parts of two years and a falling out of K-Pop fandom to complete. One day I will conquer the beast that is quick writing. Today is definitively not the day.

Fun facts: this entire exercise started and ended with Ryeowook. Also, it really is essentially OT15, in which I mean they all belong together in some way or other. In my head these are all meant to be pre-December 20, 2009, but they aren’t all so strictly time-stamped.
