Fandom-Specific DNWs:
Final Fantasy XII

Ashe/Basch/Penelo: My poor brain and heart can't handle an active love triangle between these three. Ashe/Basch and Basch/Penelo have to live in two completely separate head canons/universes, so please do not combine the two. Pick one or the other and focus on it though and I will be happy as a clam, which is also why I offered the & (friendship) options for these pairings as well.


Sense and Sensibility

Marianne Dashwood/John Willoughby: Please do not have Marianne pining endlessly for Willoughby in what I would like to be a Marianne/Brandon love story. I am perfectly fine with her reflecting on their relationship and her own behavior, and some pining is to be expected, I absolutely get that. But I would prefer her to be at least (mostly) "over" him before she commits to Brandon.

I have been pretty terrible about posting my work elsewhere first, and not here. I will be catching up transferring works I've posted in other comms and on Ao3, so I apologize in advance for a rapidfire of activity coming soon. It should even out after that. I try to write drabbles or ficlets every day to keep my creative juices flowing. I will try to always link where else my work can be found, and where you can post your own!

Title: A Hideaway with a View
Fandom: Final Fantasy XII
Characters/Pairings: Penelo, Basch, mention of Vaan
Rating: G
Spoilers/Warnings: Post-Canon.
Word Count: 200
Summary: After a few heists, Vaan and Penelo can afford more than one residence, and it is just as well. For their own safety, and for visitors whose identity should also not be disclosed.

Title: Malaika
Author: [profile] tehlanes
Rating: R (non-explicit sexual content)
Characters/Pairing: Spock/Uhura
Part: 1/1
Wordcount: 2983
Original Publish Date: May 31, 2009
Summary: They are both fully aware of his shortcomings. But in moments like these, Nyota is amazed by how little it truly matters.
Warning: Spoilers for the movie, obviously. Set significantly post-film, but non-specific to any time period. And while I am not sure if it is my head-canon or not yet, I was compelled to write it all the same. For those curious, the song featured can be found HERE at youtube.
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek. Just the arrangement of words in this particular story.

He is an unusual, albeit exceptional, lover. Reflecting—perhaps too often—upon this, Nyota is convinced his pleasure is paramount to hers.

She is also convinced it is not always his choice.

Author: [profile] tehlanes
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairing: Spock/Uhura (pre-movie)
Part: 1/1

Original Publish Date: May 22, 2009
Summary: He gives pause for once. Not to think. To feel.
