Rukia acknowledges that people do it, but she's always seen it as a sort of abstract thing, something other people do which she'd been just fine with until they're asking her how Ichigo does it.

At the moment of birth, her heart had been ripped from her chest, her freedom stolen, her life bound by chains until a few precious moments in a field covered in flowers. Or so they'd thought.

AU. Club 69 is a hive of illegal activity, prison of Arthur the porn actor; Lovino the stripper; and Matthew the bartender. And target of three detectives, whose job it is to bust it—not date an actor, stripper, and bartender...which they only do for the good of the mission, of course. But romance is tumultuous when trust is fickle and lives have a price. FrUK. Spamano. PruCan.

[Slight AU] Ten years after the disbandment of the Phantom Thieves, everyone is all "grown up", or failing at it - miserably - as they struggle with unrequited love, relationships and Ann's engagement during their late twenties. [Multiple character pairings]

When love is in excess, it brings a man no honour nor worthiness. (Euripedes) Samurai/Geisha AU

She knew he could help her. She knew he could fix this. He knew her, both of her. He'd be able to put her back together and find a place for Shiho Miyano in Ai Haibara's life.

Akira/Ann. A series of non-related stories and snippets.

After a long pause, Shiho scowls at him with indignation."Excuse you, how come I'm suddenly at fault of the many complications in your romantic life?"/ Shinichi lets out an elongated, theatrical sigh. —[ShinShi] [CoAi]

A collection of non-linear, random vignettes and short stories on Akira and Ann.

It takes just a single moment to let go of your reservations. Just a single snap, and alcohol. Lots of alcohol. [CoAi] [ShinShi]

Lucy had a lot of problems. An ever growing list of them actually. But at least it couldn't get any worse right? In which the freeloading Team Natsu is forced to pull their weight, bed sizes prove the wisdom behind dirty humour, and how a house became a home. Team Natsu fluff

Natalia, youngest heiress of the Braginski family, rejects the idea of soulmates. Toris, the kitchen boy, hides the words on his arm that mark him as hers. Soulmate!AU, TW: anxiety attacks. Now with epilogue.

When a familiar face comes back into her life, Sakura makes a decision that unwittingly unites their causes. She finds herself playing a dangerous game of give and take with a man who makes no promises but always pays his debts. [SasoSaku. Sequel to Schadenfreude and Aces & Eights.]

Manon likes not feeling anything, Abraxos likes flowers and Dorian likes puppies. Do the maths. Now a drabble collection for the witch and the king. And the bothersome wyvern.

"Since there was, quite literally, nothing else to do with his time, it wasn't abnormal for Arthur to give soap opera-like personalities to the flowers he took care of. Best part was that no one could judge him for it."

Lucy gets home late from a mission, her bed is already taken.

It's a different time and place—and change is necessary. —Grimmjow/Rukia

An elaborated orchestration to bring their masters together twists into something that meant just a little more to them. Norway, Vietnam. NorViet. Maid and Butler Aristocratic AU.

Four times Natasha tells Steve she doesn't love him.

Natasha grows tired of the kind of person she sees herself as. Steve thinks he might be able to find her a new spirit animal.

The forest taught them so much, but it also taught them so little. It was funny really, how they kept surprising one another with things they should have known. Nokken Norway, Vietnam. NorViet.

To put it simply, no one can ever evade Hawkeye's keen and watchful eyes, even if from a far. Neither does the subtle gestures and timid glances of the super soldier and the red headed spy, apparently. OR, the three times Clint Barton got a bird's eye view of Steve and Natasha's attraction towards each other. ROMANOGERS.

This is how a heart beats. Breaks.

Shinichi's hand curling around her wrist redirects her attention and before she can say much of anything, he's pulling her along, along and away from the ruins of what was the last three years of their lives.

A group of little amusing and occasionally fluffy clip-its from the daily life of Izaya and Namie. Rated 'T' to be safe. If the beginning chapters are extremely "meh" in quality, skip to later ones. I started this thing years ago so my writing wasn't so great.

Natasha Romanoff seems a bit overqualified to be the person that's helping him recuperate from the ice.

The war is over, and like Konoha, Team 7 has rebuilt itself from the ground up. Everything has changed, but Sasuke and Sakura remain much the same. Eleven years, she thinks, is a long time to be in love. SasuSaku.

A short one-shot about the relationship between Apollo and Hermes and all of their antics! Please Enjoy and R&R!

Austria finds himself straddled and pinned to the ground by Belarus. So she can get a piece of lint from his hair. (Something of a slight AustriaxBelarus.)

Three targets. 1.12 seconds. Clint Barton breaks a record.

Natalia Arlovskaya was a professional spy and assassin known as Belarus to the underground world. Her newest mission was to kill Lukas Bondevik - benefactor of the Nordic Mafia. What she didn't know was that he was expecting her. NorBel! Assassin!Mafia!AU

"Last Tuesday, you threatened to beat him with a broom if he took the last slice of blueberry pie in the fridge." "But I like pie." A collection of one-shots. Itasaku.

An almost romance, told in perfect 250 word segments. Under normal circumstances Korea would have never given Belarus, or anyone other than China, a second glance. Under normal circumstances Belarus would have never even considered a life outside the iron wall. But the Cold War is anything but normal circumstances and normal isn't really making sense anymore. Korea/Belarus.

Sometimes, one decision can change your whole outlook on life. Post the takedown of the Organization, Conan learns to grow up a second time...and discovers what really matters in life.

Sasuke. Shikamaru. Naruto. Neji. [With your various canon pairings, etc.] Life doesn't always go the way you want it to, but then again, sometimes it does. High school isn't all about romance, people choose different paths to walk, and the guy doesn't always get the girl. Honestly, Shikamaru thinks, it would be boring if everything were predictable.

It's not that he's resentful of her success, or anything. He just misses her. A lot. Conan/Shin/Ai/Shiho. Some but barely any Shin/Ran. A bit of a stretch but not AU. Really long one-shot. Hope you enjoy & review!

natalia ends up crashing in gilbert's basement. oneshot ventfic-M for language and implied smut. human names used. characterization based off my own roleplays. prussia/belarus.

Kohaku watches Sesshomaru lean into the wind, and wonders what might have been. One-shot.

All she's ever wanted is to confirm her existence. All he's ever wanted is to immortalize his existence. And somewhere along the way, they realize the only part that really matters is simply existing together.

She was the fairy girl covered in blood and he was the jaded medic who kept putting her back together. -Sasuke/Sakura-

And one time he was cared for. Mostly lacking in pairing, lots of Arthur but not Arthur!centric, fluff and paternal/maternal ness.

Fourteen kisses, almost kisses and not so kisses. A Haibara Ai/Edogawa Conan oneshot collection. Kiss #27: Overflow. "You're in an unfamiliar place, and you're very, very thirsty. There's no water fountain or vending machine in sight, and you can feel your throat getting drier. Then suddenly, a person comes to you and offers you a glass of water. How would you drink that water?"

Kudo Shinichi. Miyano Shiho. They grew up in different worlds and had never met. But to Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai, they had each other. There was no such thing called reincarnation in this evil reality, but indeed they were reborn. COMPLETED.

His eyes always had that touch to it. What was it? Alice was reminded of darkness, deeper than that of the Abyss'... It did start with stripping though.

Join the four resident geniuses stuck in one team by a drunk Tsunade and their day to day lives! Neji, Sasuke, Sakura and Shikamaru-uncut! N is for Nurse: because their manly pride bagged them the best one. :friendship:

Sakura finds Sasuke again in Wind Country five years after the war, when he is supposed to be dead and she is supposed to be beyond caring. Neither have been very good at meeting expectations. — SasuSaku

For fanfic50, narusaku, Team7 gen. There is a new sort of urgency in the way he touches her now, in the way he digs his fingers into her skin, and in the harsh grip of her hips.

Karin just knows that she will marry Uchiha Sasuke. Then one day in walks Haruno Sakura. — AU SasuSaku, one sided SasuKarin.

Izaya and Namie try this thing called cohabitation. Izaya/Namie.

He glances from the corner of his eye; that hand is sure and steady, and if he isn't very very careful he'll find a bullet buried into his skull before he can even blink. This is the kind of danger he thrives on. AU Oneshot.

In which Arthur tries to keep some kind of order with Gilbert, Ludwig, Antonio and Feliciano in his squad; no mean feat, especially in a training exercise gone wrong. Military AU; ongoing. No pairings really unless you squint, even then with a microscope.

In which Russia uses Austria, Austria uses Russia, Belarus goes to the ballet, and a crack pairing happens. AustriaxBelarus.

Mafia AU. Denmark, England and Prussia set out on a mission. Fail ensues.

Life. Sasuke is back, her team is always gone, and the hospital is a grave. Sakuracentric. Updated weekly. COMPLETE!

In which there is a game of rugby and ridiculous brother-related antics. A sequel of sorts to 'Of Family, Friends and Football'.

In which Gilbert, Francis and Antonio play 'the most inane footy game in history', dragging others along with them.

Arthur has his hands full when not only his extended family comes over for a visit, Alfred, Matthew and Francis drop by.

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. Why Sasuke was angry was not beyond her. “Naruto,” Sakura said slowly, “why did you hire me a male stripper for my eighteenth birthday?” For EWHH its Kenna.

AU. SasuSaku. She says that he's the most gorgeous man she's ever laid eyes on. He says she's perfection in a picture. They won't say what counts, but it's still love.

Affaire de Coeur: affair of the heart. Not here, exactly, nor anywhere too far away, instances in the lives of two very different people. Drabble series. [30: the last chapter.]
