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.

Title: Antebellum
Pairing: Spirit/Stein
Words: ~1,200
Genre: Drama pastfic.
Rating: PG
Other Notes: I realized partway through this that my mental image came from a dim memory of a piece of fanart, which shows young!Stein sitting in the center of an empty white examination room; I combined that image with the idea that maybe Stein had been psychologically examined before entering Shibusen, and wrote this is a result.

Title: A Sharpened Edge
Pairing: Spirit/Stein
Words: ~670
Genre: Drama pastfic.
Rating: PG
Warnings: Underaged boy kissing.
Spoilers: None, really.
Other Notes: Hm. I wrote a very serious!Spirit. Maybe he's out of character here. I was thinking about that flashback scene, where he is serious when he's dealing with crazy kid!Stein, and wondering what that'd be like, not just working with that nutcase but actually being the blade he uses in battle.
...mostly, I admit, I'm just happy to be writing again, regardless of the outcome.
Crossposted. ...maybe.

Pairing: Stein/Spirit-ish
Words: ~300
Other Notes: So, how exactly did Spirit fail to notice freshly stitched wounds appearing all over his body for five freaking years!?

Genre: SMUT. Smut, smut, smut.
Rating: R
Spoilers: None.
Other Notes: This was started AGES ago. I’ve always want to finish it. I’ve also always wanted OroJirai frottage with biting and snarking. Now, my life is complete.

Words: ~2,520
Genre: Drama, introspection, pre-series speculation and a touch of smuttiness.
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: For the whole Soul Society arc.
Warnings: None.
Other Notes: This little series of vignettes didn’t turn out how I wanted. One would think I’d be used to that by now, but yet it still surprises me.

Other Notes: Ug. I've been holding onto this fic since June, considering posting it for 20_inkspots, but t'hell with it. I'm cleanin' out what I got before the year's technically over.

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*

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.

Title: Nothing More, Nothing Less
Pairing: JiraiOro

Current Mood: ...I LIKE this.

Title: Flowers of the Grass
Pairing: None; Deidara-centric
Words: ~1,000
Genre: Introspection, pastfic.
Rating: PG-13
Other Notes: ...what the hell did I just do? AND WHY DID I DO IT!? Deidara...pastfic...!? *horrified* I should be dragged out and pistol-whipped. THERE'S NOT EVEN PORN, WTF.
(I think this starts out shakey and then pulls itself together a bit more about partway though.
Not sure if I've managed to get the dijointed crazy air down just right.
Inspiration? Walter Raleigh's The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd and Psalm 103:15-16.)

Words: 611
Genre: Fluff, touch of angst.
Rating: PG
Other Notes: You know, I've been wanting to write sannin team fluff for a while now. I came up with the crux-line for this while in the shower and damn it makes me feel fuzzy.
(No, I have no idea what Jiraiya did to himself to get injured. Not a clue.)

Pairing: OroJirai, hinted one-sided JirTsuna
Words: ~3,125 (OMGWTF, this was supposed to be a DRABBLE.)
Genre: Humor, snarky fluff?
Rating: PG-13?
Dedicated to fish_lanterns, who requested the young sannin boys' first time looking at porn.
Other Notes: *sniiickers* I spent way too much time looking at shunga and listening to Pinku no Zou while writing this.

Title: Lonely Lights Remain
Pairing: Jiraiya/Yondaime
Words: ~780
Genre: Gen, drama, pastfic
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: None
Warnings: None.
Other Notes: Um... This was meant to be a slashier follow-up to my last fic, and oh hey, look; I failed. And I made more shit up. As in, like, this has no canonical basis whatsoever. Bite me.

Pairing: Jiraiya + Yondaime
Words: ~1,500

Spoilers: Er...I dunno. A few Sannin spoilers, I guess.
Warnings: None.
Other Notes: Watch me fail at writing endings! Watch me make shit up! It's so exciting!
...I need to stop writing pastfic; I hate attempting to fill in the gaps left by canon. But I keep doing it. WTF.
I waver between hating this and thinking that I just need to stop being anal.

Title: Untitled.
Pairing: Jiraiya/Orochimaru
Rating: PGish
Genre: Pastfic
Spoilers and/or Warnings: Nada
Author’s Notes: Written for 60_minute_fics' Monday night Pick-up Lines challenge and currently UNFINISHED.
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.
I actually have 2 in this segment and have another 6 or so to scatter throughout the rest as it gets written 'cause um, Jiraiya. Yeah.

Title: Tactical Error
Pairing: Orochimaru/Jiraiya
Words: ~1,010
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Smutty humor
Spoilers and/or Warnings: Nada.
Other notes: Written for 60_minute_fics' porn challenge and is now FINISHED. (Beginning had been previously posted under a different title.) Also, this was meant to be serious, but…er…Jiraiya. He just killed any chance of smut existing by opening his mouth.

( WHERE'S MY PORN, BOYS? SHAME ON YOU! SHAME! )

Title: Bait and Switch
Pairing: Jiraiya/Orochimaru
Rating: PGish
Genre: Pastfic; set back when they were still young and relatively cute. ^_^
Word Count: ~400
Spoilers and/or Warnings: Excessive swearing?
Notes: Written for 60_minute_fics' dialogue challenge. Changed the title already, 'cause I'm finicky, and LOL, dialogue-only fics are hard to format for easy reading.
Summary: Ah, young love! How sweet! And, in some cases, violent and more than a little snarky.

( Some people are always lucky in love )

Title: Thorns Among the Lilies
Pairing: hints of Jiraiya /Orochimaru
Words: ~1,500
Genre: Gen, drama, introspection
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: ...for all things concerning the Sannin.
Warnings: None.
Other Notes: Originally started as “Pride” on my JiraiOro Sins claim, I think this deviated too far to still be submitted as such. I also think that it’s really two fics that I managed semi-successfully to smash into one.

Title: Sub Specie Aeternitatis
Pairing: Jiraiya + Orochimaru
Words: ~1,300

Rating: PG
Spoilers: ...for all things concerning the two involved?
Warnings: None.
Other Notes: The first two parts of this make me extremely happy. The ending needs to be tweaked up a bit (and no doubt will be when I wake up again), but, but, but! Murrrr... Over all? This is happy.

( They might have saved one another once, in another time, in another story. )

Words: 1,000
Genre: Drama, light fluff
Rating: PG
Spoilers: None, really.
Warnings: Again, none.
Other Notes: Pastfic; a mission takes a turn for the worse.
This scrapes the border between long drabble and short fic; I never intended it to go beyond three short paragraphs. H'oh shit, I'm losing control.
