Scribblings

...to my writing journal. I'm Ki, variously known as Kiana, SpankingHalo and 'You haven't updated in ages, are you dead?' (The answer to that one has thus far been no. And fingers crossed it will stay so!) If you're looking for my Harry Potter Dramione fic, Midnight, click here. I also write in Obernewtyn and Tamora Pierce fandoms.

But my first love is LJ Smith fandom, and I've written there since, um, what feels like time began. So if you like supernatural stories of requited and unrequired love with a dollop of angst, a few twists and turns, some ass-kicking, banter and a possibly happy ending, what's below might be for you.

If you're looking for the most recent pieces, scroll down. If you're looking for short stories and one-shots, the list below should be helpful - it's divided up by character.

As ever, I relish feedback, so please feel free to comment. Anonymous commenting is enabled on here if you want to keep your identity secret. I love a bit of criticism, so please point out anything you think isn't quite right.

Title: A Lunatic City
Rating: PG
For: pep_queen
Spoilers: Chimera, Long Lost, Haloed
Prompt: dust
Notes: The quotes are all taken from Pablo Neruda's 100 Love Sonnets. I wanted to explore something more of Hades / Persephone and the ramifications of that story. This seemed - apt.

Title: Afterparty
Rating: R
For: akigalaxy
Spoilers: Generally the FoF stories.
Prompt: revenge
Notes: Er. Apologies, Autumn, I think I will be writing you another prompt because this one is, frankly, gruesome. Revenge led to the Furies; both the myth and in-story organisation, which led to the nasty side of them I tend not to touch with a barge pole, which in turn led to this story.
Lyrics: Blur's Death of a Party.

( Afterparty )

~*~

Title: Fault Lines
Rating: PG
For: star_faerie
Spoilers: Heartsong
Prompt: forever
Notes: This is set shortly after Heartsong, covering an issue that my 15 year old self ignored entirely; ten years later, I have an entirely different view on just who was hard-done by in that story. Cougar & Ruby's relationship.

( Fault Lines )

~*~

Title: Crystal In The Blood
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Anne McCaffrey's Crystal Singer trilogy.
Summary: How Lanzecki came to join the Heptite Guild.
Notes: So in a fit of frenzy and madness, I signed up for Yuletide this year and whacked down every fandom I was vaguely acquainted with. Thus came my prompt for the Crystal Singe series. After re-reading, I came up with this. Hope you like: if you don't, let me know why!

( Crystal In The Blood )

~*~

Rating: 15
For:liddles
Spoilers: All HP books
Prompt: Bitter
Summary: Snape and Lily's relationship, in retrospect.
Notes: I've never tried writing from Snape's POV before. So this is entirely new for me and I would very much appreciate any criticism / commentary.
Quotes: The opening quotes are taken from “The Voice” by Thomas Hardy.

I would absolutely love some feedback on this one.

Title: A Star To Steer Her By
Rating: PG
For: ivorycaelum
Spoilers: Ripples
Prompt: Delphine
Notes: I ummed and aahed over whether to write an epilogue to Ripples. In the end, I didn't. So this isn't an epilogue. It isn't an end. But it is what happens after the coach turns back into a pumpkin.

( A Star To Steer Her By )

Thoughts, as always, are exceedingly welcome!

So I was going to do one short piece for Xmas reqs, then realised there was no way I could get the variety of prompts in without it being a total mess. So instead (hope you don't mind..), each person has a short sweet something in the fandom they selected and with their prompt.

Also - still not dead. Honest!

Title: Tomorrow
Rating: 15-R
For: Lianne
Spoilers: Chimera, the bulk of the Blue / Toya stories.
Summary: Prompt: tremble
Lyrics: Coldplay - Yellow

( Tomorrow )

*

Thoughts always appreciated!

So being a retail wench and all, I can't do a host of requests this year, but I can manage three.

a. Something short and sweet
b. Crackfic! The world is your round shiny thing
c. Srs business. Something a bit longer and plottier.

So here be a poll, and I'll take whatever the majority comes up with and get scribbling. It's all tongue-in-cheek, and potentially multi-fandom, so have fun :D Anyone can play along!

This closes on the 31st November.

Title: Long Lost
Rating: 15-R
Spoilers: All prior stories; this is set approximately two months after the end of Chimera, but stands alone.
Summary: Lisa Ochai had to start a war to leave her soulmate fifteen hundred years ago. Since then, he has hunted her - and now he is back, and will destroy anyone she loves to make sure he is the only one in her life. Anyone she loves - everyone she loves.

Title: In Darkness
Rating: 15-R
Spoilers: The Obernewtyn series by Isobelle Carmody. Specifically, The Keeping Place and The Stone Key.
Summary: Captured by his mortal enemy, Rushton finds himself slipping into despair. A story of love, obsession, darkness and fear.
Notes: This is the first piece of fanfiction I've ever written for this fandom, and unusually for me, has no original characters. Obernewtyn is my favourite series of books by several thousand country miles; there's nothing I don't love about this series, but there is a dearth of fanfic for it.

Why? I don't know. It has everything I could ever want: a post-apocalyptic world, a grouchy, flawed, emotionally repressed narrator who's destined to save the world and not too happy about it, cults, prophecies, revolution, an awesomely sarcastic cat, fantastic characters, mental powers, and a love story that makes me go all gooey every time I read it.

 So, inspired by a large cup of coffee, I've decided to create my own. This will be short - three parts max. If anyone out there has read the books *pauses to watch tumbleweed roll past* I'd love to hear what you think. If you haven't read the books, I'd still love to hear what you think!

Thanks for reading! Thoughts? Comments? Criticisms?

( Next Chapter )

What better way t spend a Friday night?

Prologue - done (500)
Ch 1 - done (2500) - brief tidy-up, then ready
Ch 2 - (3600) - put my chapter split in the wrong place. Needs editing
Ch 3 - (1700) - midway through.

Random bits from throughout - 2000

The last episode of Disc One of Bones. Manfriend tried to coax me out of it in favour of pizza (bah!), but I resisted his wily temptations.

Prologue - done (500)
Ch 1 - done (2500) - brief tidy-up, then ready
Ch 2 - (3600) - put my chapter split in the wrong place. Needs editing
Ch 3 - (300) - just started

Random bits from throughout - 2000

*wibbles* This kind of constantness is a little scary...

Another episode of Bones. And a nice way to end the weekend.

Prologue - done (500)
Ch 1 - done (2500) - editing needed on the second half
Ch 2 - (2800) -  probably finished, needs editing

Random bits from throughout - 2000

I'm onto the fun stuff now. Chaos ahoy!

Thoughts much adored...

And fa la la la etcetera. Before I am crushed beneath the mob of desperate customers foaming at the mouth, my first post of December:

Ripples - Part Fifteen

Much love,
Ki

So we lost the rugby. And the football. And the F1. All in all, England has managed to retain its world status as a nation of underdogs, I feel.

And on another, not-really-remotely related note, here is

Part Fourteen

Much love,
Ki

Up and early!

Part Thirteen

And now, to prepare for the rugby. :)
