One last comment before I let you spend time on those fics of mine....
- A thing that may well bother readers in search of quality works who stumble upon this page: this is a personal fic archive, meaning that I've put up in it all the fanfics I've written in English over the years. Yes, all, included the very first one when I was trying myself at writing in a foreign language (rest assured that I didn't put up my worst scribblings, those are definitely not for the world to see). I've learned a lot since I first started down the road of fanfiction writing, and I know that the gap in writing quality between fics (even when just looking at style and grammar) can be...big. Trust me, I'm aware of those jarring differences, but my goal with this page is not to present a clean, polished set of fanfictions. What I'm aiming for is to put up everything since the day I decided to share stories with other people. No matter how I can blush at the "horrible" stuff I may have written, I'm still very fond of every single fanfic featured here, and I'm not taking down any of them, even if it costs me a "I'm not linking to you" or a "You're not welcome in our web ring" feedback. And as I have a very busy life, it's highly unlikely I'll ever be able to afford the time to re-work on all of old fanfics and make them "palatable". In order to help you choose what to read and what not to read, I've added a year next to each title, so you'll know how old the fic is. Just keep in mind that the fact a fic is old doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, use your own judgement ^^; So now that you know this, I hope it won't bother you too much, and that you'll enjoy your stay ^^
|
All right, since the time I've first started putting up fics, this page has seriously grown in size ! ^^
|
... And also a list of the most recent fics I've put up on this page:

Once you have read something, (if indeed you were brave enough to read until the end), please send me feedback, yes, even critics,
as long as they're justified of course ! So if you wish to comment, simply mail me (and don't forget to remove the anti-spam, namely the "no-spam" and ".duh" parts) |
Saint Seiya
Beyond the Horizon (complete fic) - 1998
Right before taking on the Sanctuary, the Bronze Saints take a bit of rest, and Shun goes to the beach, finding himself in need of silence to think. Based on one of my favourite scenes of Saint Seiya, where for once Shun and Ikki are alone and can talk a bit...
Hooded Eagle (8 parts) - 1999
This fic is set after The Hades, with my interpreting Saori's last words in manga#28 in a certain way. It's focused on Aquila Marin, and on the female Saints' PoV in general. Imagine Athena entrusting the protection and guardianship of the Sanctuary to Aquila Marin and Ophiuchus Shaina, foreseeing that neither she, nor the Bronze Saints, nor the Gold Saints will ever come back from the realm of Hades. Now Marin and Shaina find themselves alone and in charge of this terrible responsibility, with nobody to turn to for guidance....If you're familiar with Shoujo Kakumei Utena, you may find in here situations or attitudes which will give you a feeling of deja vu. This fic was inspired by my watching ep. 9 of Utena....
Special bonus for this fic: I'm very happy to be able to present two beautiful pieces of fanart drawn by Pallas especially for this fic. You'll find them on the chapters' page! =)
Leaf Horizon (8 parts) - 2006
And yet another weird piece of Saint Seiya fanfiction.
Three centuries from now, humankind has taken to the stars, and occupies a few hundred worlds across the galaxy. Bereft of god and goddess, at peace at last, the Saints of Athena and the Marinas of Poseidon have followed the path humanity chose, albeit reluctantly. Nameless pieces in the spatial transport machinery, humanity views them as nothing other than jumpgate operators, unaware of who they are, of what they give so that spaceships can traverse the oceans of hyperspace. A flawed balance prevails between the colonies, between the bright core side suns and their rich solar farms, and the weird, dying red suns that swarm the galactic halo. While the Marinas of Poseidon have chosen to confront the darkness outside, the Sanctuary stubbornly refuses to look elsewhere than toward the core of the Milky Way. Opposite attitudes, born from the same, nameless feeling of dread none dare speak out, from a fear instilled by the only heirloom the gods left them when they vanished from the world for good--whispers that haunt anyone they touch.
And the flaws in that false balance humanity thinks it has found reach far deeper than anyone realizes. Sometimes, there is no stopping. There is no setting things right, no matter how much you’re willing to try. Whether or not you realize that you’re now past a point of no return, there is only going forward.
Sometimes, there is only falling.
Peace is only for Fools (9 parts) - 1995
Crossover with Tokyo Babylon by CLAMP. After The Hades, Shun finds himself in a Tokyo he doesn't recognize. Everybody he knew is gone... Shortly after this quite unsettling discovery, he finds a very badly wounded onmyouji person...
Requiem (complete fic) - 1997
Set during Asgard, the second season of the anime.Shun's thoughts as Mime confronts him and asks him why he keeps fighting.
Resolutions... (8 parts) - 1998
Saint Seiya fic, with a small particularity : it contains characters based on real people.A group of friends meets at AX, and discovers that somebody has managed to change the ending to all the fics they had written or read. Stepping to the other side of the mirror, they go to confront this person, re-enacting in part the ascent of the Twelve Houses. But things are not what they seem, and much more is going on in the Sanctuary than meets the eye. The friends may never know the truth, but the end of their confrontation will condamn Athena and her Saints to a terrible fate...
Tango, and a Sea of Drifting Night (8 parts) - 2004
Another weird piece of Saint Seiya fanfiction. Centuries into the future, humankind has managed to cheat and find a way around Einstein's laws. Humanity has touched the stars and colonized many planets. It's now divided into three distinct parts: Earth and the Inner Colonies, the Mid-Range Worlds, and the eerie, fey descendants of humanity living at the rim of human space, in the Outer Colonies.It all started when the latest incarnation of the god Poseidon led his chosen ones to the sea of drifting night, to the Outer Colonies, and founded what would later be known as Azure Traverse, the most powerful transport company in the many worlds of human space. It all started with his intention to destroy the rest of humanity, with a last, terrible war that heralded the true end of the gods. Two hundred years later, the altar of Athena is lifeless, the heart of the Sanctuary is dead, but the Saints remain. Without guidance, lost. Alone. Mad, perhaps. Led by the descendants of Sorento, Poseidon's closest Marine Shogun, Azure Traverse rules over the skies. And the balance between Earth and the Outer Colonies is about to be broken.
There is no End of the World (8 parts) - 2009
And yet another weird piece of Saint Seiya fanfiction.
Lines. Borders. Edges. Ends. They’re everywhere. We love them. We loathe them. Whether we want to or not, we live with them every day of our lives.
This is the story of three groups of people. One believes in lines simply because those lines are a part of laws nobody has reviewed in over thousands of years. Another refuses them, because they’re limits, the bars of a prison cell--because they’re the blade of an axe, set between the roots and the body of a tree. And then the last, well, the last does believe in lines as well. In frameworks, in limits that move and move again, in laws that change to accommodate one principle, one dogma more absolute than those of faiths: the infallibility of Economy. The Holy Perfection of Market Laws.
The last two groups live in the same universe. The first one is withering away in silence, slowly. Alone. And because there are glitches in mechanisms, because fate is whimsical by nature, the struggle between the two last groups will disturb the stilling waters of the first. Someone will cross the line. And the carefully drawn and preserved order of things will start unraveling. For good, or for ill.
Enjoy ^^
Thieves of Light (13 parts) - 2001
Saint Seiya meets Christianity. I've wanted to write such a fic for years, but I didn't have enough background information. The lack of books on the subject on my shelves had been fixed, as well as the lack of fic itself! ^^The title is freely inspired from Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light, which is one of my favourite books. Blurb? Hades' death in the heart of Elysion started the apparent destruction of the underworld, but it also set in motion a terrible chain of events which would bring to light the tragedies of a past so ancient and dangerous that the gods themselves had sealed away their own forbidden memories. Memories from a time when the Olympian gods were mortals themselves. Now, the time of the reckoning, the time for vengeance has come. Can the horrible truth of events past be faced? Can a war against all that is thought holy and sacred be fought?
To Fade into the Sky of Waning Stars (8 parts) - 2003
This is a very weird piece of fanfiction, dealing with the universe of Saint Seiya as it might be far into the future. What happens to the Sanctuary once humankind has evolved far enough to reach for the stars? What happens when there are no gods left to fight, no superhuman threat that can endanger humanity--when the sole danger that is busy eating away at it, destroying it, is humanity itself? What purpose can the Saints of Athena serve in an era where they seem to have become obsolete remains of a past lost forever?Inspiration for this piece came from one of the greatest SF series I've ever watched: Babylon 5. This is not a crossover, however. But I've used side aspects of the B5 universe to build my story and the world of Saint Seiya in the year 2240.
When Blackbirds Sing (8 parts) - 2007
It had been three centuries since the Romans had made a fatal mistake, but they still weren't aware of it. All around the known world, the borders were faltering, and the Empire itself, already divivded into four, was falling. Slowly, but certainly. Constantine I, who ruled the Empire of the East, had his capital in the powerful city of Byzantium, and in the last years of his life, he was perfecting the last threads of a plan he had nurtured for a long, long time. A plan to use a rising new faith to support his power. A faith with a structure, a hierarchy, and a fantastic organization. Including more and more of this faith's hierarchs in his councils and advisors, and allowing them to incorpoate more and more of their rules and laws into the Roman laws themselves, he would insure the lasting power of his empire by tying it to that of this rising cult. Of course, he was mistaken, for the Roman Empire would fall, while Christianity, this rising new faith, would prosper, and rise on. In its ascension to power over what had once been a mighty empire, it would crush and assimilate all the ancient cults and all the ancient gods. It would smother the ancient lore into myth and fables. It would rename the ancient celebrations and retell their meaning, reweave them into its own mythology. And in so doing, it would unmake many men and women. It would shatter their lives and force them into exile or death.In Cenabum, the sacred city of the Gallic druids, the layer of peace between Christianity, the Roman administration and the druids is a thin one. The wary coexistence between them rests upon old covenants that, sooner or later, someone will break. Lady Muireann, high druid of the Carnutes tribes, is painfully aware of this. But she will not move. She will not break the balance. There's too much at stake: her family, her kin, her peers, the boy she has adopted, and whose true identity nobody must ever know, not even he when he comes of age, the Council of Faiths, this ancient gathering of powers that has now dwindled into encounters between bickering, impotent fools for the most part... But even though she would preserve this fragile balance of things and delay as much as possible what she knows must come, Muireann is about to find out that you cannot stop fate. You cannot stop time, even when you have a card such as the one she has taken into her family.
When Hope is Darkness (complete fic) - 1998
Set at the key moment of "The Hades", in volume 24. The curtain has lifted, and the truth must be faced...
Yours Ever (12 parts) - 1996 - revised in 2000
Crossover with X by CLAMP, and set during The Hades. A few years after the end of the battle against Poseidon, Athena's Saints are enjoying a well deserved rest. It seems all the enemies have been vainquished, and peace is secure. A shadow lurks in the background, a shadow who has been patiently waiting. It is said that the Saints are the masters of their Fate, but can this hold true in the universe of X, where Destiny is foreordained ?
CLAMP
Rg Veda
Cheating Fate (9 parts) - 1996
What happens when an ordinary girl leading an ordinary life suddenly finds her soul gripped by an horrible vision and when strange god characters abruptly disrupt her existence ? I know I would run away or start writing fiction. As for Fiona...A sequel to Rg Veda, in an unusual setting.
Take this Gift (complete fic) - 1997 - revised in 2000
Set at the very end of Rg Veda, a vignette of Kujaku's thoughts and reasons for sacrificing himself for Ashura.Quite dark... Vignette.
Tokyo Babylon
Bad Blood (9 parts) - 2002
Crossover with Rurouni Kenshin, this fic is set in the set of fanfics depicting the Sumeragi chronicles, and is a direct sequel to Night-Painted Hearts, which you can find in the Rurouni Kenshin section.
Erin's Gift (9 parts) - 1999/2000
This is a rather special Tokyo Babylon fanfic. Why? Because it's set in the year 1608, and starts with a strange young woman leaving her native Ireland to accompany an English delegation to Japan with the mission of negociating trade agreements. She is no one, she's just a caretaker of horses.Her name is Aislinn, and she will be the origin of a rather special characteristic of one of Clamp's most famous characters.
Featuring beautiful art by Sablotin. Many thanks to him for bringing life to Aislinn in this wonderful fashion =)
Night has Fallen (complete fic) - 1997
The end of the Subaru/Seishirou battle... Guess who wins ?Dark, and might make you wonder about the winner's sanity... Vignette.
Peace is only for Fools (9 parts) - 1995
Crossover with Saint Seiya. After the Hades, Shun finds himself in a Tokyo he doesn't recognize. Everybody he knew is gone... Shortly after this quite unsettling discovery, he finds a very badly wounded onmyouji person...
Raindrops are Made of Tears (complete fic) - 1997
Subaru visits his sister right after his awakening in the hospital and his confrontation with Seishirou.Vignette.
Roots (7 parts) - 2005
Another story set in my "chronicles" of sorts of the Sumeragi family, started with Erin's Gift and continued with The Other Side of Twilight, When Evil Smiles, Night-Painted Hearts and Bad Blood.In the year 2010, the world isn't very different from what we know. Only, perhaps, with a darker future. What was suspected is turning out to be reality: global warming, environmental unbalance... A young man comes to Japan, despite everything in his personal history pointing at him never to get near the country of his mother--or perhaps because of it. In search of a way to make things right, or perhaps to indulge in childish, adolescent notions like saving the world, or maybe even in search of reasons, of roots, what he's about to find will force him through the tearing, painful process of growing up, and leaving illusions behind.
The Tree of Blood and Hope (5 parts) - 1997
This story is placed right at the end of the 7th tankoubon, and is mixed with the universe of the Eald Wood Novels by C.J. Cherryh, more specifically The Tree of Swords and Jewels (yes my title is a shameless reference :P). Credits to Jason who argued with me about the end until I agreed to write something... Fitting...There is no X reference, although it might be said that the end hints at X, but an X that would have to be different from Clamp's...
Come to think of it, where does the Sakura come from ? What is it ? What if someone knew, and had been waiting for a long time ?... And which is stronger, hope, or blood ?
Walls (8 parts) - 2008
Crossover with Bleach, this fic is one of the chapters in my chronicles of the Sumeragi family.In the years after the great fire that burnt the city of Edo to the ground, children were entrusted into the keeping of Sumeragi Inejiro, second to the clan head. A boy, and a girl. The boy would inherit the title of head of the clan, but the girl, Azami, was useless to the Sumeragi. Too wild. too alien. Too headstrong and selfish. Too frightening. The only person who could control her was a performer in Yoshiwara, the pleasure quarter. His name was Gensou Toumei. One night, when escaping the smothering atmosphere of the Sumeragi mansion and rejoining Toumei, Azami thought she perceived something weird in Yoshiwara. Something wrong. Shadows, or holes in the world, but her useless and untaught Sumeragi abilities couldn't tell her what. Unable to ignore her feelings, she decided to investigate, against the pleas of Sumeragi Inejiro, and the advice of Gensou Toumei. She searched the night, and met with fate--and other worlds.
When the Dark Waltz Ends (12 parts) - 1999
Seishirou has won, and suddenly finds his life unusually dull. A young gaijin arrives in Japan, and somehow keeps meeting this dark and handsome veterinarian... Perhaps Kassandra should not be so curious, but when you are an assistant in a criminal brigade with only menial work to do, what else can you do to pass the time than getting a look at closed files that inexplicably remain on the police's server ?
Wish
Sweet Dreams are Made of Kisses (complete fic) - 1997
A dream... And then reality. Set some time in what is/will be the 3rd volume of Wish, once Kohaku has learnt that he/she must go back to Heaven.
X
Awakening (complete fic) - 1997Kamui awakens from his Dream after the death of Kotori, and sees Subaru unconscious against him. A short time of peace, a time to think...The companion fic to Reflections of Dawn. Vignette.
Don't Forgive (8 parts) - 1998Crossover of sorts between X and Tenku Senki Shurato. Of sorts, because I've merely dumped Kuroki Gai in the X universe. As for the story... All right, I'm fond of saying this, but this time it's VERY true : this story is DARK. Don't say I didn't warn you. Don't read it if you're feeling depressed, it won't help. This story was born of my watching the Shurato OVAs, and noticing some beautiful shots of Gai. Imagine what'd happen if, after dying while sacrificing himself to save Shurato, Gai hadn't become one with him but instead had been snatched away by a dark hand, and thrown in the middle of the Dragons of Heaven and Earth... No coherence or continuity with what CLAMP has planned for X was ever intended here.
Musings (complete fic) - 1997A character from X spends some idle time thinking about the whys and wherefores of everything. Guess who's talking ! ^^
Reflections of Dawn (complete fic) - 1997Subaru wakes up after his dive into Kamui's heart, and realises he must face himself, and accept the truth.The companion fic to Awakening. Vignette.
Toys in the Palm of God (13 parts) - 1997Sequel to Cheating Fate. 1999 has come... Three years have passed, and Fiona thought she had a right to a peaceful uneventful life... What a mistake... Fate does not take kindly to being cheated.
Yours Ever (12 parts) - 1996 revised in 2000Crossover with Saint Seiya, The Hades. A few years after the end of the battle against Poseidon, Athena's Saints are enjoying a well deserved rest. It seems all the enemies have been vainquished, and peace is secure. A shadow lurks in the background, a shadow who has been patiently waiting. It is said that the Saints are the masters of their Fate, but can this hold true in the universe of X, where Destiny is foreordained ? |

Oddity
Saturday Night Oyster (complete fic) - 1998
What will happen when a group of friends meet, drink Baileys and start talking about manga in general and then CLAMP...
Rurouni Kenshin
Night-Painted Hearts (8 parts) - 2000
This fic is the sequel to The Other Side of Twilight, that you can find just below, and is set some time after the end of the Revenge story arc, but before the end of the manga itself. Everyone has gone back to a peaceful life, but things are happening in Kyoto. Murders are committed in the night, when the moon is full; a strange, apparently random reaping of lives which is about to engulf everything in its wake. A hidden, insidious threat on the future of Japan, and on the lives of those who fought in the shadows during the Meiji Restoration.Please, read the foreword carefully, for the events depicted in this story are tied to events told not only in "The Other Side of Twilight", but in Erin'sGift as well.
The Other Side of Twilight (6 parts) - 1999
Japan, in the beginning of the year 1864. Civil unrest grows in Kyoto, and Fate is about to change many people's lives forever. Tokio is a young woman whose most immediate concern is to keep her little bit of freedom and independance, but very soon she will find herself taken away by the storm of change. Can one oppose what is, in the end, nothing else than Destiny itself? This fic is set during the time of the OVAs of RK, and tells my vision of how two characters came to meet one another. I have added to this fic concepts from Tokyo Babylon by Clamp to the RK universe. It's one of my favourites.... ^^
When Evil Smiles (complete fic) - 1998
Fic wholly focused on Shinomori Aoshi, set a short time after the Kanryu matter. Shinomori Aoshi has buried his former companions and then gone on his way... I have often wondered what had happened to him during the interval between that moment and when he shows up again during the Kyoto story... This fic also contains a chara whose name is very well-known from another series I shall not reveal *EG*... This fic definitely stems from a very evil idea of mine...
Bleach
Walls (8 parts) - 2008
Crossover with Tokyo Babylon, this fic is one of the chapters in my chronicles of the Sumeragi family.In the years after the great fire that burnt the city of Edo to the ground, children were entrusted into the keeping of Sumeragi Inejiro, second to the clan head. A boy, and a girl. The boy would inherit the title of head of the clan, but the girl, Azami, was useless to the Sumeragi. Too wild. too alien. Too headstrong and selfish. Too frightening. The only person who could control her was a performer in Yoshiwara, the pleasure quarter. His name was Gensou Toumei. One night, when escaping the smothering atmosphere of the Sumeragi mansion and rejoining Toumei, Azami thought she perceived something weird in Yoshiwara. Something wrong. Shadows, or holes in the world, but her useless and untaught Sumeragi abilities couldn't tell her what. Unable to ignore her feelings, she decided to investigate, against the pleas of Sumeragi Inejiro, and the advice of Gensou Toumei. She searched the night, and met with fate--and other worlds.
Earthian
Night is the Mirror of my Soul (complete fic) - 1997
This one stems from my frustration after having watched the 3 OVAs of Earthian... Obviously, I enjoyed it, but I'm missing a lot of things from the manga... I just HAD to deal with one scene of Earthian 3... Not my favourite, but writing it took the frustration out as usual ! :P
Evangelion
Weariness (complete fic) - 1998
A short fic focused on Misato's thoughts about what she does and why. I wrote this after having seen only 12 eps of EVA, so the chara may seem off, but it shouldn't be too bad. Warning : this is not a very cheery fic...
Utter Silliness - partly based on Shoujo Kakumei Utena
BAIT's Life is an Ever Peaceful River (complete fic) - 1998
A blurb for this little piece of madness ? Well... Mmmm... Two friends start arguing about accompanying a third one back to London at the end of her visit and in so doing provide invaluable fic material... ^^
Revolution (Complete Fic) - 1998
Some few days ago, I was challenged by one of the victims of "BAIT's life is an ever peaceful river" to write something even more outrageous than that... I noted with interest the lack of "no don't do it" requests from the other victims.So I can safely say : don't blame me *NEG*
This is a continuation of sorts of the first one, although you'll find that the style has changed. This one isn't as obviously silly as the other.Blame it on the Utena music that I listened to on repeat during the whole time I wrote this fic...
Warning : all characters portrayed therein are evil/twisted/well-deserved parodies of their real counterparts. All hints are there on purpose, and the most obvious impossibility in the end is of course a direct reference to a show I am NOT addicted to, I'll stress that : I AM MOST CERTAINLY NOT addicted to this show... ^^
as Long as Roses Last.... (4 Parts) - 1999
And yet another silly--let me stress that SILLY--continuation, based on my before-last stay in Cambridge. Warning, I have been having a lot of fun, so please do NOT take any of this seriously. All the people I depict in there are very dear friends...despite some perhaps confusing appearances ^^;;;;Oh yes, I doubt you will find it of any interest if you don't know the group of friends involved or my humble self. ^^;;;
