Yuletide, Kreuzmas, and more!

[lady_ganesh]

It's the second-most wonderful time of the year, the time when you give credit to your betas and trawl for more hits by posting links to your work.

In no particular order:

I wrote two stories for weiss_kreuzmas:

Five Dumb Things Yohji Did (And One that Turned Out Pretty Great) for red_squared. Thanks to lindentreeisle and emungere for betaing this one.

For the bonus round I wrote Sight of Passage for oracle_dreams. Red and Linden both pulled beta duty on this one.

For the wk_100 drabble exchange I wrote Ken and Yohji on an unexpected picnic. (Thanks to dormouse_in_tea for catching that I had the wrong character there, yikes!)

And then Yuletide! I wrote one assigned story, two treats, and three Madness fics. (I guess taking a year off really did bring my mojo back.)

Uncertain of All was my assignment (Konzen-centric, Saiyuki Gaiden). I'd had mixed feelings about offering Saiyuki Gaiden, because I write it anyway and it seemed bigger than most of the things I write for, but I figured the franchise rule was the franchise rule, and I knew I could certainly do a good job on it. I felt even better when I saw cease's request letter and found out she loved Konzen and wanted something Konzen-centric. Sold. Thanks to Linden (yeah, I know, it's cause I'm always on chat with her ♥) and nekonexus for doing beta work.



Then I started browsing around letters to see if anything grabbed me.

Sort, Shine, and Other Stuff is another Gaiden fic, this one focusing on Tenpou and Kenren and Heaven's attempts to improve efficiency. Doire's prompt inspired this one: I really , really want to know more about the bureaucracy in heaven. Do they have action plans? SMART targets? Professional development? Does the Merciful Goddess hold appraisal meetings? I may have been exposed to too much management theory in my life; Is this where it all came from?

Like I could resist that. nekonexus looked this one over for me too.

Last but not least And Find Your Heart, a Nathan/Keith Tiger & Bunny story prompted mostly by Sekaiseifuku's love of Nathan. I'd been thinking about Nathan/Keith since the couples meme, and the Yuletide prompt was a great chance to write about how they might have hooked up. (The title's from a Culture Club song. I'm so awesome.) Oh, and indelicateink betated this one! ♥!

I'll talk less about the treats, gawd.

I wrote Recalculations is a genfic for Revenge focused on Nolan Ross.

Wallace Wells, (Drunken) Homosexual Secret Agent is genfic for Scott Pilgrim.

Twisted Nerve is Tate-focused for American Horror Story. I'm not sure if anything in AHS counts as gen, honestly...
