So remember my 2012 scrapbook? Yeah, so even though there are parts of it that I've failed at updating, it got too big. SO, July through hopefully the rest of this year will be here, and everything else will be back at the original.

As a reminder---  Italicized titles = enjoyed muchly, bold titles = love, titles with an asterisk = OBSESSION and titles in brackets are re-watches/re-reads. And lastly, strikethough = DISLIKE. Adding a video game, personal writing, and a fanvid section. Since it takes me months to finish a game, I'm going to include the gameplay time along with which games I've played that month. Only current goal is to read at the very least ten new books this year, and finish at least two of my video games.

There are rumors of them—legends really, spread throughout the galaxy from those they'd been kind enough to spare.
Carnival of Rust (Kingdom Hearts, Axel/Roxas, Meme Response, 449 words)
"You should have walked out on me when the world first started burning, Rox.”
Closer (Kingdom Hearts, Axel/Roxas, gore and demons, meme response, 719 words)
His brother always told him that their kind were persistent. That when they latched onto something, they never let go. They sucked it dry and ate it’s bones, but Axel thinks that if his brother were still alive, he’d agree that this level of obsession was maybe going a little bit too far.
we run the world (Kingdom Hearts, GS!Axel/Namine, zombie apocalypse, 847 words)
When Axel first sees Namine, her first thought is that the pale little thing before her shouldn't have made it this far.
say your right words (Supernatural/Labyrinth fusion, Bela Talbot/Sarah Blake, 1514 words)
Once upon a time, the words were you have no power over me. But that's not quite right, is it? Bela has all the power over her. She has what the Goblin King never did. She has Sarah's heart.
love is our scripture (Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Percy/Nico(/Annabeth), 2714 words)
10 Alternate Universes in the lives of Percy & Nico--- It isn't that Nico's a masochist, he just doesn't know how to find that off button that people have when they realize that they're about to do something stupid.
Total words: 9,889 words

August:
Everybody's Free to Feel Good (Kingdom Hearts, Axel/Roxas, 1362 words)
He's got six days left in this camp. Six days of yoga and bible class and other surly little fuckers running around beating up on little kids and putting spit balls in his hair. But now- now he's got the school reject to keep him company
Cotton Candy Skyline (Kingdom Hearts, Axel/Roxas, 1510 words)
He remembers this kid, remembers towering skyscrapers and a night that never ended, rain that never stopped falling, remembers alleyways and shadows and little wraiths called Dusks. But most of all, he remembers this same kid with a darker frown and an even darker smile, lying beneath him, sated and happy with a smile on his face. Remembers thinking that this isn't real and right on the edge of that thought, another- I don't care.
About a Girl (Kingdom Hearts, GS!Axel/GS!Roxas, 1356 words)
"Yeah, well. Maybe I wouldn't be too averse to some bad-touching nowadays," Roxas says, bumping her knee against Axel's. Axel squints at her suspiciously. "Is this some kind of reverse-psychology thing? Because that really doesn't work with me."
Total words: 4,228 words

September:
Helpless Moments (Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Ghirahim/Link, 1491 words)
It's a terrible idea, of course. One day Ghirahim will greet death under the Master Sword. It's inevitable, because for Link, failure is not an option. (10 AUs in the lives of Link and Ghirahim.)
let the water take me (Kingdom Hearts, Axel/Roxas, Riku/Sora/Kairi, Aerith/Zack, 22,399 words)
It's a love story, see? There's blood in the water and the sharks are coming. Siren-Serial Killer AU.
finish your collapse and stay for breakfast (The Avengers, Loki/Tony, 474 words)
The face-plate of the suit slides up to reveal his own face, contorted into a ferocious snarl and cursing in a language he doesn't quite understand. The air smells like smoke and the sidewalk still tremors beneath his feet and somewhere he can hear the Hulk roaring. But that's nothing compared to watching his own face go pale and Thor catching him as he staggers, asking in a quietly hopeful voice, "Brother?"
who we are (Naruto, sequel to Admissions Half Price on Wednesdays, Itachi/Shisui, 462 words)
It's been four years since the Wednesday that changed their lives. (aka Itachi and Shisui play truth or dare)
Total words: 24,826 words

October:
in my crown, i am king (Dark Month: Kingdom Hearts, Axel/Roxas, 2102 words)
Here's what he remembers: the sun rising, blazing on the horizon, a flash of color and heat that made the air go distorted in the distance. The feel of one of Aadi's elephants nudging him, its wiry hair itchy when it pressed its trunk to his arm, the chalk decorating its body leaving streaks of bright color across his face. Gayatri's smile, her children clustered around her legs. A syahgosh with her kittens just outside of the village, their golden bodies catching the rays of the sun. He remembers the trip to Jaisalmer and the guest house he'd stayed in—orange curtains and sandstone walls, a cool refuge from the heat outside. He doesn't quite remember the journey to Kuldhara, just that his camel had been irritated the whole time. He remembers the last quide he'd had, his bright grin as they conversed in broken English and Hindi. He remembers that the ruins were beautiful, even if they were cursed.
dream me a dream (Dark Month: Kingdom Hearts, Axel/Roxas, 1975 words)
“Mr. Sandman,” he whispers, voice gone sing-song and lilty. “Bring me a dream.”
we're somethin' strange (in your neighborhood) (Dark Month: sequel to The Lovers Grimm, FF7/KH/Naruto, Axel/Roxas/Reno, WIP, 7263 words)
"So, you really aren't a child predator, huh?" Roxas pants, brushing sweat off his brow. The smile that Axel flashes him is sharper than usual, jagged teeth gleaming white against the red of his lips. "You're all children to me," he purrs, leaning down to pick a rock off the ground and bashing the nearest zombie in the head.
Total words: 11,340 words

November:
Time's End (DW/LoZ:MM, Amy & Dark Link, 976 words)
She's been traveling with the Doctor long enough to know that sometimes bad things happen. Actually, they happen rather often, and she generally has one of two options. Option one: she finds the Doctor and gets the hell out of dodge before the bad thing blows up in their faces, or, option two: try to fix it.
wind take me home (KH/RotG, Jack/Pitch, Axel/Roxas, 838 words)
“We could be beautiful together,” he says, long white fingers skittering over the sculpture—your ice and his darkness frozen together in swirls of black and silver. He looks at you and you can’t help but notice that while there is malice in his eyes, beneath that there’s an unfathomable loneliness, shaded to match that of yours.
Total words: 1,814 words

December:
thimbleweed (Holiday Writing Challenge: Supernatural, Dean/Castiel, 477 words)
“We’ve been through this before, Cas. You can’t wear your tax accountant get-up to Christmas at my parents house.”
with their eyes all aglow (HWC: KH/RotG, Jack Frost, Axel/Roxas, 598 words)
“I wasn’t sure if you would be able to see me this year,” he tells Axel, who rolls his eyes. “Jack, my mom can still see you. Half this town can see you. We won’t forget you.”
c'est la vie, c'est la vie (HWC: Teen Wolf, Stiles/Derek, gen, 291 words)
He doesn’t know why he always has to do the coffee runs. You’d think that with the werewolf stamina and all, they wouldn’t send the human out to get hot beverages.
to the stars (HWC: OuaT, Red/Belle/Rumpelstiltskin, 1844 words)
He turns to you, your name on his lips—his eyes just as soft as they had been before—and you say the words as you think them: “I remember.”
Elysium (HWC: Avatar:TLoK, Korra/Mako/Bolin, 390 words)
She misses the ice and the feeling of home. On her good days, she even misses her old teachers—they’d worked her hard, but she’d always appreciated it that much more. When she had the earth under her feet and fire in her fist, she could feel the connection she had with the planet.
Overture (HWC: OuaT, Regina/Emma, 856 words)
“I assure you, I can stay warm without looking like a villain from the Ghostbusters,” Regina snorts, pulling her gloves on—leather, of course. Emma would even bet that they weren’t even the warm leather gloves. Regina would wear simple driving gloves to take a child sledding.
we drove through ghosts to get here (HWC: Percy Jackson, Percy/Nico/Annabeth, 645 words)
“Don’t you wish you could see him when you look at her?” he asks, just his eyes visible as he peers up at her. She smiles, cupping his jaw in one hand so she can tilt his head towards her. “Nico, I do see him when I look at Ros. Can’t you see? She has his smile and his laugh. When she gets into trouble she does the same nervous fidget that he used to. She's his daughter too, no matter what anyone says,” she tells him gently.
Home (HWC: SPN, Dean/Castiel, Sam/Jessica, 751 words)
“It’s not so much tradition as just something that some people do in the winter, like sledding and skiing and having snowball fights. Kids have fun with it, and it makes adults feel like kids again.”
you know it's all right (Doctor Who, Amy & the Doctor, 529 words)
The leaves were just starting to turn colors when the Doctor showed up on their doorstep. She smiled at him, eying the TARDIS across the street over his shoulder. "Rory'll be back in an hour or so," she'd said. "I'll put on some tea, get us some fish fingers and custard, and we can watch some telly while we wait." Fifteen minutes later he'd darted out the door, grinning over his shoulder. "It'll be just like old times," he'd said, "We'll pick up a souvenir for Rory."
smile, despite everything (HWC: Percy Jackson, Hazel & Hestia, 781 words)
“You’ve been without a family for a very long time, Hazel, and you’ve done some remarkable things for the sake of your mother. Not everyone would be able to resist Elysium, but you did. You have been denied a family for too long, my child. Now, it has found you.”
the weather outside is frightful (HWC: Naruto/Inception, Itachi/Shisui, 514 words)
They miss the job because as it turns out, renting out a cabin in Russia in the middle of December means that there’s a huge chance of getting snowed in. Shisui isn’t too terribly concerned. In his and Itachi’s line of work, a break is occasionally a good thing, even if that break happens to mean freezing your ass off in a room with just one bed, a few blankets, a rocking chair, and a PASIV case.
only know it sounded right (HWC: Kingdom Hearts, GS!Axel/GS!Roxas/Sora, 1187 words)
“Just because I’ve been fucking a chick for three years doesn’t mean I’m stupid. I’m on the pill and we know you don’t have anything, so shut up and fuck me before I make your sister do it properly.”
if you want more, then here I am (HWC: Homestuck, Dave/Karkat, 627 words)
“That’s what you call a kiss? No wonder you wanted to discourage sloppy interspecies makeouts. We’d all realize what a shitty kisser you are.”
heartworm (HWC: Doctor Who, Rose/10.2+alt!Donna, 670 words)
“Donna Noble, oh you are good. Look at you! What are you doing now? Still the best temp in Chiswick? No, oh no, you’re important here, really truly important.”
this race is a prophecy (HWC: SPN, Kevin/Channing, 778 words)
You had turned all of your concentration onto your studies, because people didn’t become presidents without being accepted into colleges like Princeton or Yale, Ivy Leagues that only accepted the best. So you would become the best, because you wanted to change the world. You wanted to make it better.
kneel on my arrival (HWC: Avengers, Tony/Loki, 1146 words)
You will never tire of the way he smiles, no matter the smile he wields—whether it is used as a weapon or a gesture of love, it can never be doubted that he does it with all of his being.
trial by fire (HWC: FMA, GS!Ed/Roy, 1133 words)
“Close your eyes,” he breathes and instead of snarling and smacking his hand away, she lets her eyelids slide shut.
waterfalls (HWC: Avatar, Aang/Katara/Zuko, 574 words)
It makes him long for the days when they could all curl together on Appa’s back, the wind biting at their skin and eyes—before each of them became the faces of the nations.
life is a magic thing (KH/Ferngully, Axel/Roxas, 611 words)
He clears his throat nervously, grip tightening on the back of Roxas' hand and whispers, "Can't you feel its pain?"
fall asleep, spin the sky (HWC: LoZ:MM, Kafei/Link, 1021 words)
“I’m coming with you,” you whisper, and he looks you up and down, a smirk lifting the corners of his lips. You are familiar with the look. It’s the look he’d worn when he was being too polite to tell you that you were too soft—that you would only slow him down.
lately, you're all i need (HWC: KH, Kairi/Riku/Sora, 315 words)
You love your home and the people in it who make it home.
and a hundred percent reason to remember the name (HWC: Homestuck, John/Karkat, 876 words)
The scarf is soft and it smells like John, and yes, you think it may warm your chilled neck, but— “I’ll look like Ampora wearing this,” you scoff.
sumuvirsi (HWC: LoZ:SS, Link/Groose, 730 words)
He shows up on your doorstep coughing into his fist, face pale and eyes bloodshot. It kind of makes you want to punch him, but that would hardly be helping the situation.
walk through the fire (HWC: Homestuck, Dave/Karkat, 3531 words)
The zombie thing isn’t... well, it isn’t entirely unexpected.
give me some more (HWC: Persona 3, Akihiko/Minato, 2409 words)
“Thought you were supposed to be sick,” you finally say, breathing it into the quiet, and he laughs against your shoulder and shrugs.
the darkness will rise from the deep (Merlin BBC, Morgana&Mordred, 313 words)
“What should I care for frivolous things such as this? Pretty hair,” she spits, “will not win me the war.”
you shine when we're alone (HWC: Homestuck, Rose/Kanaya, 510 words)
“But I like this color green,” Jade is saying, gazing mournfully down at a distractingly bright lime green skirt. Kanaya pats her shoulder hesitantly. “In that case, it is most unfortunate that the shade does not seem to like you,”
call me a sinner, call me a saint (HWC: Avengers, Loki/Tony, 1266 words)
“Will it hurt?” a little girl asks him quietly, wheezing faintly, tubes in her nose and needles in her veins. The machine next to her is beeping erratically, and Loki caresses her hand in his, pausing in his story. His eyes are sad as the black seeps from her hand and into his veins; kissing the top of her head and breathing, “Not anymore, love.”
ancient and forever (HWC: Merlin BBC, Merlin/Arthur, 1418 words)
He feels Arthur’s birth under his skin, like sparks and explosions, and the magic that bursts out of him leaves most of the United Kingdom without power for a full week.
i eat boys up, you'd better run (HWC: Homestuck, Dave/Karkat/Terezi, 4576 words)
“Oh my god, you bulgemuching busfuckers, if you are going to engage in sloppy interspecies makeouts, which I may add, is against the godforsaken rules, the least you can do is get inside the little wooden human hive before the rest of us erupt like great festering vomit volcanoes!”
pushin' up daisies, wish they were roses (HWC: Homestuck/OuaT, Rose&Regina, 899 words)
You are seventeen years old and have just beaten a game.
i'm waking up to ash and dust (HWC: Merlin, Merlin/Arthur, Merlin/Morgana, Morgana/Gwen, 1362 words)
“I have done you a great wrong,” Merlin tells you, the third time you remember who you are.

From: [identity profile] yira-heerai.livejournal.com
Aside from what you wrote me, Ironsides is, so far, my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Tony genderbender. I'll have to put those other fics on my "to read" list.

I have NOT seen Teen Wolf and didn't realize until quite recently that it was an actual show and what channel it was on. This just shows how much I don't watch TV. The internet is my LIFE, I swear.

The rest: I'm having a love/hate relationship with music due to my laptop jack not being able to fit normal headphones. I've tried two or three different ones and the jack's like "NOPE. I SPIT YOU OUT." It's also due to declining hearing, which, you know, piss on that. Maybe when I'm finally able to get my own place, I can enjoy music again.
