Title: Crossed Wires - Part 1
Characters/Pairing: Emil/Lalli
Rating: E for Everyone
Length: 500 words
Summary: Four times they tried to take things to another level, and one time they did.
Other: This was a collaborative challenge with Solo. The challenge: write a 5-drabble sequence of kissing moments between Emil and Lalli. I wrote from Lalli's point of view; Solo wrote from Emil's. Even though we didn't know what precisely the other was writing, our works turned out in a coincidentally chronological order.

The fic under the part is only my section of the challenge. I recommend reading it on Ao3, because then you can read Solo's part of the story, too.

Title: I will love you quietly
Characters/Pairing: Emil & Lalli (Ambiguous relationship/vaguely shippy gen)
Rating: E for Everyone
Length: 1.3k
Summary: When Lalli wakes, he finds that someone has been keeping watch over him. He isn't surprised in the least.
Other: Compliant to the end of Ch8. Might diverge beyond that; started writing this when we were not too far into Ch9.
Written for Saraste for Yuletide. :D [Original Post]
Many thanks to Solo for the proofreading and suggestions. :)

Title: Don't Fall Behind

Title: Acceptance
Characters/Pairing: Emil -> Sigrun
Rating: E for Everyone
Length: ~990
Summary: The door is closed, but he takes it well. Rejection isn't so bad, after all.
Other: Been meaning to write these two... One of these days I will write something where it's requited, but not today. Sigrun's voice provided some particular challenges, so if anything doesn't seem quite right, let me know.

Title: Water and Eternity
Characters/Pairing: Lalli/Emil
Rating: 13+ for some canon-typical violence.
Length: 3k
Summary: They are still in the world, and hold you up so you can make it over.
Lalli is becoming something, transforming, changing. He knows this. He also knows that there is someone he must save, someone he must protect, even if doing so means hiding himself away.

Other: Jumping on the näkki-Lalli bandwagon, fashionably late. Explanation: there was a trend on SSSSForum a couple of months ago in which people were drawing/writing AUs in which Lalli is/becomes a näkki. SOMEONE suggested that I write one, even though I never write AUs. They are responsible for this story existing. ...That particular individual is also responsible for the fact that this story has a happy ending.

Story was partially inspired by the poem Across the Swamp ("Yver hengjemyri") by Olav H Hauge.

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

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!

Title: Relief
Characters/Pairing: Lalli/Emil
Rating: E for Everyone
Length: 500 words
Summary: Emil's first instinct upon realizing they are both safe is to neaten Lalli's hair. Lalli thinks this is the least of his problems.
Other: Response to Shoop's Emil/Lalli art posted at the SSSS forum (here). Their summary was:
"callin this 'ooc' for 'out of context' or 'that time Emil like nearly died and his first instinct was to pat Lalli's hair down and Lalli was like that is the least of your problems, dude, and also the least of mine'"

Title: Still. Silent.
Characters: Lalli and Emil
Rating: E for Everyone
Length: 150 words
Summary: The monster comes. They wait.
Other: Inspired by Rabbit's art (here). Originally posted as a commentfic to it on tumblr here; might be worth viewing on tumblr because then you see the art + fic together.

I've been experimenting with compact formats a lot recently. I think I'll continue with that.

Title: Clumsy
Characters/Pairing: Lalli/Emil
Rating: E for Everyone
Length: ~700 words

Other: Request fic for Anon! Prompt was "clumsy kisses". [Original post]

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
