| They Were Four - Part 4 |
[Mar. 6th, 2009|03:18 am] |
Fandom: FF8
Characters/Pairings: Edea, Selphie, Ellone, and Rinoa
Rating: PG-13
Summary: At last, the reaper is allowed to rest.
Notes: Well, that little experiment is finally done. I could have written this with a shit ton more detail, but it was just me playing around with mythos and a character POV I like, nothing more. I'm just glad I found a way to end it; next time I try something like this... well who knows. XD It let me work out some stuff I'd like to use in ACTUAL stories sometime, at least.
( and at the end of all things it's kind of anti-climactic ) |

Fandom: FFVIII
Characters/Pairings: Quistis, Rinoa, Irvine
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Quistis is a General of the Empire now, even if her reasons are less than martial.
Notes: Well, I managed to eek out another one-shot in the Empire arc, and it's been... god a long time. I really like Quistis most when she's big sisterly, so that probably colored this a lot, as well as attempted to advance the general "plot" which really works backwards, if you think about it. Since, ah, the last time I worked on any of these stories was freaking 2007, I'll link to the other ones in the arc, since this was references both of them: Perfect Color Me, and Choke Until I Swallow. I'll prolly do another Quistis POV one because this one was shorter, plus it's fun?

| They Were Four - Part 3 |
[Dec. 26th, 2008|04:37 pm] |
Fandom: FFVIII
Characters/Pairings: Edea, Quistis, Squall, Seifer, Ellone, Rinoa implied Squall/Rinoa, Cid/Edea
Rating: PG-13
Summary: The beginning of the end
Notes: Behold! I've worked on this. God, Edea POV is so trippy sometimes. And there is only one more part! Yes, seriously. I know, this is sparse and weird. But I like sparse and weird. That was the whole point of this. I am so proud to have gotten another part written. God, it's been MONTHS. And now you know who was talking in the random dialog bits!

| Carbon Made - Chapter 7 |
[Apr. 4th, 2008|02:25 am] |
Fandom: FF8
Characters/Pairings: Squall/Rinoa, Laguna, Quistis, Selphie, Irvine
Rating: PG
Summary: The point of leaving is coming back.
Notes: Didn't think I'd jump like that, eh? Well, this was mainly an exercise in slicing parts of what's going on--I didn't want to get into long, lengthy explanations or unnecessary scenes. Also, judging by her mental state, that being a little unbalanced and if you didn't notice, a little depressed, fragmenting worked. At least for me. As I think this may fit into an arc in which Rinoa then gets into politics and hell breaks loose, I found this a good ending point. And I like ambiguous endings. XD Rinoa's fun outside of her rebellious!love!interest! box, I think I may play around more with things like this. So ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) first_seventhe, since this was basically written to your prompt, tis nice?

| [fic] Carbon Made - Chapter 6 |
[Apr. 2nd, 2008|03:38 am] |
Fandom: FF8
Characters/Pairings: Squall/Rinoa, Laguna
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Squall wasn't the only one that needed a reminder to stop wandering in the desert. A Knight is a compass.
Notes: Yes, I have fun playing with the fact Rinoa's basically a walking deus ex machina. And I know, some things are unanswered, but I did it that way on purpose. I think this might be a prequel to my Empire set of stories that I still need to write more of. And it wasn't intentional. Anyway, just a short (maybe longer, who knows) chapter after this and I'm done! Rejoice! Much thanks to the song "Winter" by Tori Amos. It and the song that got me going on last chapter are responsible for the cold imagery that oddly works. Enough babble.
( you said I wanted you to be proud of me, I said I always wanted that myself ) |

[Mar. 29th, 2008|03:01 am] |
Fandom: FF8
Characters/Pairings: Squall/Rinoa, Laguna
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Sometimes you just have to break down to build yourself up.
Notes: Ha, omg, so I kind of love the parental issues in FF8 probably more than anything else. Except for maybe the sorceress issues. Which is pretty much what this chapter is. I wouldn't have been able to write it without Vanessa Carlton's song "Half a Week Before the Winter" which is a haunting little song that gives me goosebumps. I love finding songs that just fit with characters in my mind. And yes, I will eventually get to what the hell is up with the hands.

[Feb. 29th, 2008|01:46 am] |
Fandom: FF8
Characters/Pairings: Rinoa, Laguna, Kiros, Ward implied Squall/Rinoa
Rating: PG-13
Summary: The reorganization of someone's mind took time, not unlike discarded books.
Notes: Ha, I am almost to the climax. REALLY. I also know this will probably end ambiguously and make Sev throw things. Tee hee.
( we're fine til I think of the problem ) |

[Feb. 11th, 2008|01:55 pm] |
Fandom: FF8
Characters/Pairings: Rinoa, Laguna, Kiros, implied Squall/Rinoa
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Sleep never came easy to her. Visionquest leanings.
Notes: There's a point to this story and I'm getting to it I swear! Some meta may have snuck in. Again, take with a grain of salt.

[Jan. 29th, 2008|02:16 pm] |
Fandom: FF8
Characters/Pairings: Rinoa, Quistis, Laguna, Squall, with some obvious Squall/Rinoa
Summary: She wasn't leaving. But she couldn't stay either.
Notes: I've been wanting to write a Rinoa story for a while that addresses some of the issues I had with her role in the game. So when Sev put up a prompt, and well, POINTED ME TO IT, I knew I had my story. Scarily enough, this'll take a few chapters. I think reading all the women's lit lately has helped. XD I am still also probably the only person on the planet that thinks she'd embrace her powers, if given the chance. Title from a Tori Amos song that makes me think of Rin.
( leaving, on a jet... wrong reality ) |
