Title: Season of Passage
Character Focus: Orochimaru
Words: ~650
Genre: Drama pastfic.
Rating: PG
Other Notes: LJ went down and so I wrote. This is me skipping some stones across the water in regard to Orochimaru's childhood, since I have been thinking about the topic lately. This fic actually has so little to do with canon that it's embarrassing.
Verses of lullabyes are taken from real songs, though modified radically.

( To everything there is a season. )

Current Mood: thoughtful

( Unfinished snippets of Orochimaru-centric fic )

Current Mood: contemplative

Title: Snakedance
Pairing: Kabuto -> Anko, though it you want to read Orochimaru/Anko and Orochimaru/Kabuto into it, don't let me stop you.
Words: ~1,200
Genre: Drama, introspection.
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: None, really. This takes place slightly before and during the chuunin exams.
Dedication: erisabesu requested this pairing, and though I didn't get to real smut I do believe that I am hooked.
Other Notes: This was fun! What a fascinating pairing! I will certainly have to do more sometime.

Title: Metamorphe
Pairing: Implied OroKabu-ish...?
Words: ~360
Genre: Drama, speculation, mindfuck
Rating: PG
Spoilers: For newer manga chapters.
Other Notes: First!-- I will get to fic requests. I've been working on them a bit, but then I got bunnied by this.
Second!-- This reminds me a lot of this jossed fic, but I think it's different enough that I'm not repeating. Formatting this was also bastardly; I hope it makes sense.
Third!-- my boyfriend finds my fanfic habit ridiculous, so I'm speeding through this. Kind of disappointing, 'cause I think I could make this really, really fucked up if I had the time.

Pairing: Orochimaru/Karin, subtly Karin -> Sasuke, implied Orochimaru/Sasuke
Words: 225
Genre: Dark, introspection
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: Up to current chapters (414-ish)
Other Notes: This, uh, was meant to be Sasuke/Karin. Or even Karin -> Sasuke. I fail. Also, I ship Orochimaru with anything that moves.

Rating: R
Spoilers: For a lot of pre-canon goings-on.

Title: First Impression
Pairing: Implied Orochimaru -> Deidara
Words: ~170
Genre: humor, crackfic
Rating: G
Spoilers: Eh. None.
Other Notes: While I tend to think that Deidara joined Akatsuki after Orochimaru left, trying to write fic for bakkhos made me wonder what they'd be like if they interacted more. Hence, this.

( This is very different that what I usually write... )

This is my springkink fic, being posted early because this was my last day off before its due and I'm paranoid about my computer dying and eating it. The prompt was Flaying – ‘testing the limits of loyalty, if not love’

Title: Better Than Wine
Pairing: Sannin threesome ftw.
Genre: Pastfic
Words: ~454
Rating: PG-13
Other Notes: Finally. FINALLY. I've tried to write Sannin threesome so. many. times. and always, always, always failed. I have a few unfinished snips that I keep just in case I can ever get them to work with me, but this is the first time I've managed to finish something with the three of them.
It doesn't help that I find female characters distressingly difficult to write for some reason and am constantly wibbling over how to handle Tsunade. I'm not even sure I managed to make her something close to in character here and she's freaking drunk. *fails...only, like, not*

A while back, hopechan inquired as to whether or not OroKabu could be nonconsensual. This was my response (edited minorly):
___

There were certain signals, little signs that gave the game away and informed him of the rules, and whenever Orochimaru pushed against him too hard, teeth pricking along the nape of his neck, Kabuto shied skittishly, his dark eyes wide and face flushing faintly. He didn't resist; he didn't fight against any of it-- the touches or kisses; Orochimaru's hands or tongue-- but his motions were tense and unsettled, restless and shuddering. He had a way of turning his head so that his hair fell across his cheek and jaw in mussed strands, accenting his youth and the line of his neck, and he gasped, whining softly nearly to sobbing, when his master's fingers drifted down his body, taking possession of it completely.

Orochimaru had never instructed him in this occasional wanton display of faux vulnerability and virginal shivering, but Kabuto was a quick study and he aimed to please.

Current Mood: amused

Title: Stress Management
Pairing: OroJirai

Title: Nothing Gained, Nothing Lost
Pairing: OroJirai
Words: ~990
Genre: ...*shrugs*
Rating: PG-13
Summary: It was manipulation and a waste of time and nothing more than that.
Other Notes: This is very definitely a sequel of sorts to Nothing More, Nothing Less, and probably doesn't make much sense without that one. (Though that stands fine without this.) That was Jiraiya's POV and this Orochimaru's...sort of. Damn, he's hard to write.

Genre: Dark, introspective, slightly smutty.
Rating: Eh...PG-13?
Spoilers: Through chapter 290 or so.
Other Notes: OMGWTF. I love Taoism. I'm inordinately fond of Orochimaru. I have NO excuse for the rather eye-wateringly atrocious combination of the two-- it's kind of like orange juice and toothpaste; some things are never meant to go together.
In other news, apparently I think Sasori's Confucian and that the Uchiha are Buddhist. No, that makes no sense to me either.

Oh, my. I played with the pick-up line generator for longer than the given fifteen minutes of prep-time. I’m bad, bending the rules like that.
