Fandom: War and Peace
Rating: PG
Warnings: Character death
Prompt: 124) I caress the withered flower/Fondle the fragrant petals/Trying to bring back the lost time. -- Li Qingzhao (formerly called Li Ching Chao)
Summary: Since she was a child, Helene knew one thing very clearly: she was Anatole’s older sister.
Author's Notes: I was initially worried about posting this fic given the latest confusion over the rules, however, having re-read the rules, I have found nothing there that would lead me to assume that my fic does not comply with them (the rules). Being an older sister myself, I feel like that is a big part of my character's identity as a woman and as a person, just like it is a big part of my identity. I hope you enjoy my story.

rating: PG-13
warnings: brief references to teenage sex, drug use, and medical emergencies.

Set somewhere at the end of season two, pre-Traeger-wreck.
notes: I have never been particularly fond of Ann, so when signups came around I thought, this is a chance to try and understand her! Ann’s version of triumph doesn’t necessarily align with my own definition, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t content with the life she’s made.

Prompt 23: “You can’t erase who you are. You can’t erase what you know.” – Sandra Cisneros

Author's Notes: First of all, thanks a lot to [livejournal.com profile] sea_of_tethys for beta reading! :)
The prompt inspired one scene of this, actually, and the rest sort of grew around it. It ended up so long that it didn't fit in a single entry, but that is the only reason why I had to split it. It's meant to be a one-shot.

Summary: Karai searches for information about The Shredder, who has mysteriously vanished. Set prior to TMNT (2007), post Secret of the Ooze. Gen, action, 1876 words, Karai-centric.
Author's Notes: Beta'd by [livejournal.com profile] robina1984. In canon, Shredder's Foot are referred to as teens even though quite a few are clearly in their early twenties; I've continued that, even though the characters I've used are definately in their mid to late twenties here. Michi is Karai's bodyguard; as far as I can tell, he's unnamed in canon. Oh, and I didn't actually manage to stick with the prompt.

And then [personal profile] ct mentioned Elphaba, and I was off and running. I love exploring Elphaba and her life, so this worked out perfectly. It may not have worked with the prompt to the letter, but Elphaba has always danced to the beat of her own drum.
