[Legend of Korra] A Healer's Affection

Wed, 15 Aug 2012 23:50:19 GMT

Title: A Healer's Affection
Author: serpentine
Fandom: Avatar: The Legend of Korra
Character(s): Amon, Lieutenant
Pairing: Amon/Lieutenant
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 518

Summary: Cop!AU. Lu Ten is a chi-blocker for the Republic City police force and Noatak is his lover who also happens to be a waterbender healer. Lu Ten tends to go to Noatak for his healing instead of one of the healers that works for the police force for personal reasons. Takes place in a universe where chi-blockers are a part of the police force.
Author's Notes: This is sorta a preview of my cop!AU where chi-blockers have always been part of the Republic City police force. Here I've given the Lieutenant the name of "Lu Ten" because I just can't call him "Lieutenant" here. Written as a late birthday fic for plotdesigner who asked for a fluffy h/c fic. Somehow it ended up as smut and fulling a prompt on my cottoncandy_bingo card. The prompt used was "kissing away pain".

Inspired by Art

Sun, 15 May 2011 15:24:04 GMT

I feel inspired to write some Melluma-verse stories for various reasons.

One is that I was thinking about the different types of mages in Melluma and how I probably should explore how mages work other than the fire mages, who are the ones I focus on primarily in the planned books. What made me think of doing this was the fact that maybe I should develop the void/dark mages more than I have (void and dark are related, but not the same - however, they both tend to work outside the parameters of most other mages and so hang out together). So I'm going to possibly write some short stories about mages other than fire mages along with developing my main characters more.

Second, some people have done artwork of characters from my stories. One is an illustration by meeks based on the short piece First Warning. The illustrator was asking for possible prompts to illustrate, so I offered this story. I am rather fond of the illustration because it feels perfect.

I've also commissioned a piece of artwork from canadian-smallfry on DeviantArt. I asked for a digitally colored drawing of Xavier Darman and she's posted it here. The commission price was fairly cheap and she's still taking them, I think if I read her dA account right. But yeah, Xavier is practicing his sword play. <3

So I think I'll write today if I can get the energy.

[Sailor Moon] 5 ficlets

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 23:53:25 GMT

This is me catching up with posting all of the short little fics I've written for sailormoonland challenges. I'll post most of them in this entry, but three are going to be posted in their own separate entries as one is a longer story, another placed in the challenge it was written for, and the third one is actually a poem. Also, one challenge response will not be posted here because I hate what I wrote for it and actually really disliked that particular challenge. It really should go without saying that these are pretty much un-betaed other than doing spell check in Word as most were written pretty quickly.

So, uh sorry for all the spam from this journal - I had a significant backlog of fic and prompt tables I had forgotten to post.

But these are the icons I made and I honestly do love this movie, but I am never trying to make icons of it ever again.

Author's Notes: Written for 36_stratagems. Only original game canon is used. Beta'ed by amethystfirefly.
Prompt: 34. Inflict injury on one's self to win the enemy's trust. Pretending to be injured has two possible applications.

The second is a way of ingratiating yourself to your enemy by pretending the injury was caused by a mutual enemy.
