Summary
With those four words, Subaru realized, heart pounding, how close his own line had been to a promise that his answer would change when he graduated. If he didn't get his wits about him soon, the two of them were bound to have a misunderstanding.
In a world where Subaru didn't innocently stumble upon Seishirou at the age of sixteen, destiny still has a way of taking a man unawares.
Please note, today's updates change nothing about the fact that you should not hold your breath waiting for more. This story will always be slow going

Summary
Uchiha Itachi was sure life couldn't get any better than going out for ice cream with his baby brother. Then, Naruto happened.
Almost there. Just a little further...
"Any sign yet?"
Pressing against the wall, Naruto made another shadow illusion, just in time to see two chuunin walk into view below. One said to the other, "If the chasers don't catch him, the sweeps will. I heard they've cleared the perimeter."

Summary
"You left the festivities," a man's voice called out of the night. "Someone might worry."
Kerberos spun in the air, but he couldn't see who'd spoken.
A softer voice answered, "I wanted to be alone."
In which Seishirou is a jerk, Subaru is an overcooked angst-muffin, and Kerberos wishes they had worked out any of their issues in the last two thousand years.
(Although most stories in the "Fifteen Mokona on a Dead Man's Chest" series can be read independently, this one-shot was intended as a "post-credits" bonus scene for Dark and Stormy and takes place the night after that story ends. Its tone and focus were different enough that I decided to post it separately, but readers may decide it benefits from context.)

Summary
Pour 2 oz. dark or spiced rum over ice. Add 8 oz. ginger beer (preferably the sort that explodes if you're not careful -- conventional ginger ale, if you must). Stir.
Kamui stared down a crowd of seals, who were either listening or trying to decide if he was food. Dawn had happened at least three hours ago, by his calculations, though he couldn't see the sun. Rain pounded on his hat, dripping off in puddles at his feet. At this point, he didn't care.
A full-scale pirate rebellion in Sorata's home fleet finds the Dragon of Heaven in a sea battle, Kamui in a race with an elite ninja team for a legendary artifact, and Fai... on a date?
("Fifteen Mokona on a Dead Man's Chest" is comprised of stand-alone short stories that can be read independently, without going back for earlier installments. As the stories go on, however, they will consistently tie together for those who prefer to start at the beginning.)

Summary
Ed could untie knots in the fifth and sixth dimensions -- blindfolded. He could convince the military he fell through a rabbit-hole, and he could even shut down a Drachman invasion (with a little help), but he can't seem to avoid dating Roy Mustang (and maybe is kind of okay with that). But here's hoping they can collar a General trying to trigger a three-way war, and that they can stop him before he destroys the world.
Spoiler Warning: End of first anime series, Conqueror of Shamballa movie.Making himself walk instead of run took every ounce of composure he had, especially when he got far enough to see the city blanketed in a strange layer of dust and dark thunderclouds. The weather had been clear for miles around. Those clouds had the smack of weather alchemy about them.
He had to find his brother.
Slight AU to movie continuity.

Summary
Nothing is safe. Nothing is sacred. Everything is... pirates vs. ninjas. Possibly with a bit of 'saving the world' thrown in for good measure.
A collection of stand-alone short stories written as a running gift for Beltenebra. Each can be read on their own, but as time goes on, they'll all be cohesive if you start at the beginning (and possibly funnier that way). The seminal fic was inspired by fanart by zelas. That said, the rest is me taking the pirates and the ninjas and running amok, with a slightly higher percentage of gratuitous adult content than you'd find in most of my other works.
You can blame this series on Tsubasa and xxxHoLic if you want, but everything is fair game (and I do mean everything). This is the only series for which I will make promises about when a story will post, as the entire AU is a gift. Every December/January and every March, you'll see new chapters (usually about four). Most of the time, these will be a complete story, but I reserve the right to split longer ones. Bonus fics may also be published outside of the normal schedule at undetermined intervals as deemed appropriate.

Serious by psiten, Skinner (psiten)
Fandom: Prince of Tennis, Tennis no Oujisama | Prince of Tennis
18 Feb 2016
Summary
Several decades-worth of boys playing tennis, falling in love, and occasionally being brilliant morons.
It's my habit to keep details from one story as "history" for others. This doesn't mean you have to read them all, or that you have to read them in order. I also like to keep the individual stories readable as self-contained units. Comedy, drama or what have you, I've taken every effort to make this timeline fit 100% into my personal fusion of the manga and anime realities -- although I make no guarantees for events in Shin Prince of Tennis, since the series started after my timeline was constructed.
I call it "Serious" although most of the stories are written as fluffy humor (and those that aren't will still have happy endings). The term isn't so much a title as a way to separate this universe from the crack stories I've got simmering on my back burner. There's more to it than that (see Series Notes), but that's enough to be getting on with. You know, it's "my serious stuff".
