IMPORTANT NOTICE: 8/157/19

Apparently writing in a whole other fandom seems to bring back the creative spark. That's why there's an influx of fics from Inuyasha, but I'm trying to also get back into writing my monster creations. Like I've said before, hang tight lads. We'll see updates on them again.

x o x o x o x

Currently Writing:

Call Me Again (Lord of the Rings/Rise of the Guardians):

Chances are if you're here, you've read this story or its original "Call Me Maybe", as these two seem to be the most popular according to the story alert notifications I've gotten. This is a rework of "Call Me Maybe" in that it's how that story should have been written. If you like long-fics with slow-building relationships, this is one to consider. Contains the following: Original characters, a blend of book-movie canon in an alternate universe, dumb decisions, roadtrips, immature humor, and the occasional crossover with the Guardians of Childhood.

Lead Me Home (Lord of the Rings):

This is an AU fic set in the modern world, building on the assumption that after the elves left middle-earth, time changed itself to resemble something similar to the world we know. The characters from "Call Me Again" are featured in this story, down to several OCs making appearances with varied roles. Pairings remain the same, so if you've read "Call Me Again", you already know who's with who. This story contains material for mature readers, so if you have squicks with foul language, sex, or disturbing descriptions of injuries, this probably isn't for you.

Brain Mush (Multiple fandoms):

For the Writer's Month tumblr prompt list 2019. Each chapter is labeled by the prompt, the fandom, and the characters and/or pairing. Notes will be provided where needed. As of this page update, there's a chapter for LotR and Inuyasha, but if I've written for a fandom, it could appear here. No cliffhangers; each prompt will be a standalone. Could include moments from WIPs or abandoned fics

Toddler Tizzy (Inuyasha):

Inuyasha's the unfortunate recipient of a misguided spell. Now he has to deal with the consequences of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But how is he supposed to communicate when he can barely form a simple sentence?

Upcoming Stories:

Chaotic Paradise (Lord of the Rings):

The sequel to "Call Me Again". If you read the epilogue to the original, "Call Me Maybe", then you should have a general idea of what to expect.

Bound to Happen (Lord of the Rings):

Companion story to "Call Me Again". This follows a certain point in the parent story, but the sole focus is on Fiona from that point to the end of the story. It isn't a retelling; merely following her path and the events that unfold around her life.

Seasoned Warrior (Lord of the Rings):

Companion story to "Call Me Again". Diverts some from the parent story as it follows Glorfindel's remaining time in middle-earth. Features characters and references from the parent story, of course, so some knowledge of the main story is reccommended.

Time Lapse (Lord of the Rings/The Santa Clause/Rise of the Guardians):

Companion story to "Call Me Again". People have wondered if the Bernard in "Call Me Again" is the grouchy head elf from The Santa Clause. This is true, but his past of how he became entangled with the elves of middle-earth and the Guardians of Childhood has only been eluded to. Until now. This story is not an overly happy one

Some Fantastic (Rise of the Guardians):

"There is no way that you are an elf. Not after what I've seen at North's." A companion piece to Call Me Again. A 51 fic. Five times Ithilwen happened upon an Immortal, and the one time an Immortal sought her out.

Fever Dream (Inuyasha):

Sequel to Mating Fever. Details to be determined, cause this was an unplanned idea that came out of left field like a wrecking ball.

Completed Works:

Call Me Maybe (Lord of the Rings/Rise of the Guardians): "I do not cheat at Monopoly," the elf cut in. "That doesn't matter! I don't know how it happens; I can be way ahead, and then you miraculously roll the right number! Then three or four rounds later I end up broker than dirt."

The intent is for this to be a light-hearted story - no evil rings or end-of-the-world plots here. Will not be listed as a strict crossover, but cameos will be featured every so often. Completed the draft in Nanowrimo 2012. Finished, but not "finished". See Call Me Again for details.

We Were Angels (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:

Depp!Wonka, but could also be read as Wilder!Wonka if you ignore the time difference. The title is pulled from the lyrics to a Dragon Ball Z closing theme, "We Were Angels" - Youtube Link The song isn't imperative to the story, but could probably be swapped out with another if the reader felt compelled to. It's more or less one of those songs you hear that brings back memories, and in this nameless character's story it's the childhood friendship she had with the little boy who grew up to become a famous candymaker who she figured had all but forgotten about her.

Friend Request (Harry Potter/The Avengers [MCU]): Celeste looked around to see some rather annoyed faces that belonged to her teammates. "I take it that the reason for this meeting is because of Loki's...new hobby?"

A oneshot from the in-progress fic Some Assembly Required. Nothing potentially spoiling, but the conversation may be confusing to some. To clarify, Celeste is an OC that will appear in Some Assembly Required; Loki has a (glorious) purpose for being there; and this will be a tiny fraction of humor in what could be a darker story. If I ever continue with the idea of Some Assembly Required, it will not fall in line with the current MCU timeline.

Weight Watcher (Inuyasha): "I carry the future of the Hojo family. Your weight is nothing!"

What Akitoki Hojo told Kagome sticks with her, and being a modern girl with self-esteem issues, makes a statement that a certain hanyou doesn't agree with. Slight InuKag fluff if you squint. Canon-compliant. Set after episode 140.

Oh Shit! She's hot! (Rise of the Guardians): All it takes is one misplaced comment or gesture to make you question everything you thought you knew about your friend and coworker. For Jack Frost, this means acknowledging that Esther's more than just a friend. She's a girl. A girl that he seriously underestimated.

Set after chapter 55 of Call Me Again, but you don't have to have read/caught up to really follow this one. Jack/Esther centered.

Does This Game Have Fall Damage? (Lord of the Rings): Haldir learns that when it comes down to it, it's just a game. No matter how much it makes you want to rage-quit your playable character off every cliff side and building imaginable.

Something fun between Ithilwen and Haldir set during Call Me Again. No particular point in the story, just some father/daughter conversation.

Sharp-Dressed Hanyou (Inuyasha): Inuyasha knew that Kagome was weird. But she's been acting stranger around him since he started wearing modern clothes in her time. That strangeness comes to a head - or rather a hand - when there's a formal event on the night of the new moon.

Inspired by Lenbarboza's "Dogs and Swords" series. InuKag oneshot.

Guide to the Recently Deceased (Rise of the Guardians): There should really be a guidebook for people that wake up to find that they can't interact with other people anymore. Are you dead? Are you alive? Will you age? Can you pass through walls? Jack and Esther find answers to these questions after becoming victims of an accident themselves.

Not connected with Call Me Again, but does feature the OC Esther. A different take on what might have happened had both fallen into the lake to save Jack's sister and the years that follow. It turned out darker than I meant it to. Oof.

Doggie Bag (Inuyasha): Leave it to your closest friends to be the ones that piss you off the most. Inuyasha learns that his friends have a sick sense of humor, but can it turn to his favor after all?

Modern AU inspired by Gabriel Iglesias' story about the "Racist Gift Basket". InuKag mostly, with appearances by Koga, Miroku, Kikyo, Sesshomaru, Kagura, and Rin. A follow-up has been requested for this one, so keep a look out.

Mating Fever (Inuyasha): Inuyasha has a problem - it's mating season for youkai - and he's doing everything in his power to ignore the call. When the new moon comes and goes, Inuyasha is faced with two more problems, and they're both eyeing Kagome.

This was a self-indulgent fic idea I've been pecking away at for months and just recently finished. I wouldn't say it's canon-compliant, but it does fall within the regular timeline. Think of it as a smutty filler episode. That said, the version here is going to have scenes later on toned down considerably, but you can find the full story marked as Explicit on AO3. It plays with the "mating fever" trope, but something interesting happens to Inuyasha when the new moon comes and goes...
