Look, I don't know what's going on either, but I promised Trout I'd actually remember to post to DW because that's hilarious.

Hi, I'm writing fic again these days. It's...I don't even know man.

title: the sun don’t shine underground
fandom: Avatar: the Last Airbender
series: salt and ashes
summary: In one universe, Ozai looked at his newborn son and saw disappointment. In another, he saw a way to rival his brother. In both, he looked at his daughter and saw a weapon. The question would be who was the wielder.

Azula was never anyone’s idea of a hero.

i. there’s a tiger in your cage (now go to sleep)
ii. and how i feel is like a child in a foreign place (far too alone)
iii. you only get one side of true (gone and clipped my wings)
iv. my native tongue is blasphemy (so that's the one i'll write)
v. the prison and the shackles colonize you brick by brick (leading by example)
vi. let the fire spread (try and move like you're meant to)

Apparently, I can also turn comic strip characters into fic. Who knew? My attempt at a double-drabble.

Title: All-Night Tool
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ultranos
Rating: PG
Word Count: 200
Summary: This is actually no surprise whatsoever.

This is not the SG-1 fic that blindsided me earlier this week (yes, Targasa, I am still blaming you for giving Carter ideas).

This is also not the XAOSverse fic I'm supposed to be writing. This is also not any of the XAOSverse fic from the WIP list. But since Locke Selant is apparently not only a medic, if how he ninja-ed me into writing this is any indication, there is now this fic.

*grumbles about how characters never do what I expect them to*

Title: Jacob in Reverse
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ultranos
Rating: PG-13 (implied references to past child abuse)
Notes: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] shanghairain for the beta. Any further mistakes are All My Fault.
Summary: "As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." (Romans 9:13)

This is I guess the third in a series of character pieces. This time, it's Lexanthia "Lex" Nakasan, the other female of ID-0780 (Anjirousu is the other) and one of the more functional characters in this universe.

Lex has gone through a couple of personality changes from the first time she came to me. But I like her better now. She's not as well-adjusted as Hiroshi, but she's not nearly as broken as Anjirousu or Ashura (thank god). And I've discovered that she's a fascinating character in her own right.

Title: The Unforgiving Minute

Rating: PG
Summary: Stand on your own two feet and walk

The main character in this has actually been present in the XAOSverse since its inception. I just haven't really given him the time of day and have sort of regulated him to the status of "plot device".

I am a horrible person.

This is the first attempt at fixing this. Also, I now hate pronouns. And present tense.

Title: Somewhere a Clock is Ticking
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ultranos
Rating: PG
Notes: Title from Snow Patrol.
Summary: I've got this feeling that there's something that I missed

Shock diamonds are the formation of shock waves in the exhaust plume of a supersonic propulsion system. The flow of the expanding gas forms a visible diamond pattern in the trail.

Hiroshi Rankstri is one of the more well-adjusted characters in this universe. Even though I don't really have a firm grasp on his personality yet. This is him trying to tell me what it is.

Title: Shock Diamond
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ultranos
Rating: PG-13/R (Language, again. Hiroshi has a foul mouth.)
Summary: There were two things that could give Hiroshi a thrill like nothing else: speed and the stars. He finally got to combine the two.

XAOSverse. A little introduction to the fucked-up emotional aptitude of one Sagenthir Tranta and one Anjirousu Targasa.

Title: And Miles to Go Before I Sleep
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ultranos
Rating: R (Adult language and somewhat graphic imagery.)
Summary: Sagenthir can't figure out what to do. Anjiorousu can't say the words. Somehow, it hurts worse this way.
