Title: a foolishly hopeful promise
Fandom: Magic Knight Rayearth
Rating: Teen? (strong language)
Length: 1500ish words
Content notes: None
Author notes: ETA because I forgot to state it: Also for 'voice' on my bingo card for fan-flashworks bingo!
Rock!AU, Ferio/Clef (one-sided as far as Ferio knows, Clef's not actually in this.) Stand-alone prequel to a rock!au I haven't actually finished and posted yet (there are a few snippets on the internet).
Summary: What's a rock band about to start a huge tour meant to do when their singer is more than a little under the weather?

Lantis has an idea. Ferio thinks it's a terrible one.

( a foolishly hopeful promise )

Title: But you and I have life to hold
Fandom: X-Men First Class
Length: 1442
Content notes: no warnings apply
Pairing: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Author note: this is the final part of my noir AU, Patterns of Light; additional notes at end of fic. this one is for kalypso.
Summary: If this was a movie, they’d kiss and the music would swell: one happy ending, coming right up. Except that no-one would make a movie like that about two guys, or two mutants.

( But you and I have life to hold )

Title: Turning
Fandom: Original
Challenge: Promise
Bingo Square: New
Rating: G
Length: 11
Content notes: N/A

( Turning )

Title: Shinobi don't fail missions
Fandom: Naruto
Characters: Aburame Shino, Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, Yuuhi Kurenai, Tenten
Challenge: Promise
Rating: G
Length: ca 800
Content notes: Vibes of indoctrination that's kinda uncomfortable
Summary: Team 8 share a table with Tenten, and exposes her to their unique team culture fostered by their sensei.


( Shinobi don't fail missions )

Title: Time the Third
Fandom: Suits & Queer as Folk (US)
Rating: NC-17/Adult
Length: ~1700 words
Content notes: None apply
Summary: Meeting number three for Harvey, Donna and Brian. Brian's at the Leather Ball at Babylon and spots a familiar set of faces.
Author Notes: This also fills the 'on top' space of my FFW Bingo card; and fits my seasonofkink response that includes submission, rimming/licking, chains/locks.


( Time the Third )

Title: Loki and the Ring
Fandom: Danmachi
Rating: PG-13
Length: 1,015 Words
Content Notes: No content notes apply.
Author Notes: In addition to filling the standard prompt (Promise), this post fills one of the squares (Bar) on my Fan Flashworks Bingo Card. The story, like several of my Danmachi works (the directory is here), takes place in a post-canon scenario that has its basis in fan theories and my odd pairing notions.
Summary: Before the Loki Familia returns to the Dungeon for a push to the 100th Floor, Tsubaki has a question that she wishes to ask Loki herself.

* * * *

( Loki and the Ring )

Title: Warm

Content notes: Guo Jia/Xu Shu, pre-ship, touching on excessive drinking but nothing too bad, plus the absolute vaguest hints of sexy things.
Author notes: For prompt #250 'Promise' and the 'Burn' square on my bingo card.
Summary: Taking care of Guo Jia was not the easiest thing to do.

( It may have been a foolish promise to make )

Title: I Promise
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Rating: G.
Summary: Desktop wallpaper, 1280x720 resolution.
Content Notes: Subverting the typical expectations for a work that combines the Elric brothers and "promise"... because that face. :D

( I Promise... )

Title: Wake
Fandom: Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans
Rating: G
Length: 928 words

Summary: Aston wakes up.

( Wake )

Title: falling, fallen
Fandom: House MD
Rating: PG-13
Length: 936 words

Summary: House has nightmares and in middle of the exhaustion, does something he tends to not let himself do.

( falling, fallen )

Note: this is the third part in a series that went AU at the end of The Avengers, and probably won't make any sense at all unless you read them first. Takes place shortly after hope is the thing.
