Until We Meet Again [Lalli/Emil]

Title: Until We Meet Again
Characters/Pairing: Lalli/Emil
Rating: 10+; contains non-graphic references to death in a fire.
Length: 600
Summary: They didn't get a chance the first time around. But maybe here, maybe now, they can try again together.
Other: This was originally flashfic in response to a challenge on [community profile] fail_fandomanon. The challenge was to write 3-5 sentences in response to a prompt; this prompt was: "Reincarnation; one remembers and the other doesn't". I then took it and expanded it a little. Original version of this fic in all its run-on-sentence glory is here.
Future-Lalli's name suggested by Laufey. Thanks, mate!

Knotwork [Hannu, Joona, & Jonna; -> Joona/Hannu/Jonna]

Title: Knotwork
Fandom: A Redtail's Dream
Characters/Pairing: Hannu, Joona, and Jonna; also Joona/Hannu/Jonna (sort of. In Hannu's mind.)
Rating: 18+ for bondage (sexual and nonsexual), sexual fantasies, Hannu getting off to the thought of being sandwiched by the twins, etc....
Length: 3.1k
Summary: Joona and Jonna decide that tying Hannu up and locking him away for a while would be a great way to make him cool down when he's being a jerk. Though Hannu keeps quiet about it, this affects him more than they expected.
Other: Precanon. Based off a panel in the comic (p 174). "If you try to leave, we'll tie you up and put you in the shed for a while. Again." What happened the first time? This is the "Director's Cut" version of Knotwork; AKA the original NSFW version that I was too shy to post publicly. The "Theatrical Cut", AKA the worksafe/13+ version, is on Ao3 here.

Four Loves [Árni/Original Characters]

Title: Four Loves
Characters/Pairing: Árni Reynisson/Various OCs
Rating: 10+? vague references to mature subjects are very vague.
Length: 2.2K
Summary: Loves come and go. Some memories of love are held closer to the heart than others.
Other: This was a response to a tumblr prompt from Solovei. Prompt was Árni + bisexuality, beyond that open-ended. I decided that the simplest approach would be a matter-of-fact exploration of (imagined/original) previous relationships. This is mostly set before the prologue, but part of it is after.

Characters/Pairing: Jonna/Riikka
Rating: E for Everyone
Length: 1.6k

Routines [Emil+Lalli]

Title: Routines
Characters/Pairing: Emil + Lalli
Rating: E for Everyone
Length: 1.2K
Summary: They have their routines. They've become set in them. Sometimes, they make new ones.
Other: Idea for this came at beginning of ch7. That accounts for inconsistencies with later chapters.
Was a little stuck on how to label this pairing-wise, because it's about as intimate as most of my 0+ rated romance pairing fic, but it isn't really more intimate than their friendship in canon, I think... decided to go with something neutral, but if anyone feels that a different label would be more appropriate in this particular case, please let me know.

The wonderful Starfallz drew a lovely fanart based on this story. <3 Hooray!
Scout also drew some gorgeous fanart of this story! :D

Two Under One Sky [Australia and Max]

Title: Two Under One Sky
Fandom: Hetalia & Mad Max: Fury Road
Characters/Pairing: Australia and Max Rockatansky
Rating: 10+ ish
Length: 2.7k
Summary: Australia meets someone while travelling down the roads in what's left of his land. He can't put his finger on it, but there's something about this Max guy that makes him feel that he can trust him.
Other: Hetalia + Mad Max crossover. Set some time after the events in Mad Max: Fury Road. I've seen people discussing the idea that Max might be quasi-immortal due to the "folk narrative" tone of the films and the way the timelines don't quite match up in a realistic way, so I decided to incorporate that.
*This fic has been translated into Russian by Moriell! You can read it at Ficbook here.

Rating: E for Everyone
Length: 2.4K
Summary: It happened months ago, but Hannu hasn't quite shaken off the memory of the dream. Luckily, he has Ville with him.
Other: Set a few months after the end of the comic. If any of my readers are unfamiliar with the comic, you can read A Redtail's Dream here, it's really good.
: I had some difficulty writing Hannu here, so if anyone would like to discuss post-canon characterization for him, I'd be happy to talk with you. I'd also love to discuss the comic in general if anybody wants to, and you can do that here or on my contact post or at my personal journal ([personal profile] yuuago)
