Mei Zhu's writing has MOVED! Please visit its new location at: Frozen Rain!

This journal will be inactive for the most part, and will most likely be used for communities and reading other fan fictions.

This is part of a story that has been on-going for years now. First, it began as an RP with ___hoshikuzu and then it slowly turned into a story. I've been working on it on-and-off, and I've decided to go back to it now. So, to motivate myself, I'm posting a chapter of it.

This is actually chapter 2 (the original story's title is Janus) but it can also kind of go as a standalone piece. It's one of my favorite parts of the story, and it's also something dear to me (despite the fact that I wrote all of this, Katsura is actually ___hoshikuzu's character) and it's the part of the story that I've spent the most time tweaking. (And I will most likely spend more time tweaking it later.)

It's about a 27 year old scientist, Yu, and his 37 year old boss, Katsura.~ It's my OTP and I've completely fallen in love with both of them (they're really just the most adorable things ever...)

Commentary and critique is always appreciated =)

Title: The Perfect Prince
Rating: G
Series: FullMetal Alchemist
Characters/Pairing: Ling/Ran Fan
Word Count: 1138

Written for moon_alchemist for the Spring 2007 transmute_fluff challenge. [So this was written in spring, but I'm finally unveiling myself since the comm seems to have died.]

This is... pre-manga, and perhaps not altogether in tune with the manga, but its kind of a "when Ran Fan met Yao Ling" type fic. Honestly? I had so many issues writing this it wasn't even funny; mainly because I never paid attention to either character while reading the manga. This fic makes me cringe in ways you can't even imagine...

Written for aristastarfyr for the Spring 2007 transmute_fluff challenge. [So this was written in spring, but I'm finally unveiling myself since the comm seems to have died.]

Story takes place after the movie. I couldn't remember the movie, and my computer wouldn't play it for me, so I actually did research. xD So I hope it turned out well. It was horrifying to write though.

Thanks to kalliel for the beta~ :3

From the Character Pairup Challenge in which I paired up one character with three randomly chosen characters from the same series.

Series: FullMetal Alchemist
Character: Roy Mustang
Pairings: Roy/Ed, Roy/Greed, Roy/Havoc

I found it oddly amusing that Roy/Ed and Roy/Greed were somehow easier to write than Roy/Havoc... and yet Roy/Havoc is the one pairing in the three that I actually like.

Inspiration finally came from the Roy/Havoc Ship Manifesto!

( It had become a word used to describe himself. )

It all started with, "Roy Mustang could be paired up with anyone and it'd still work..."

Give me one character, and I will randomly pair him/her up with three other characters from the same anime/manga/game and write three sets of drabbles, one based on each 'pairing'.

Note: I will be choosing these 'pairings' by putting all the characters into alphabetical order and randomly generating three numbers. Thus, the character you choose has an equal chance of being paired up with anyone in that anime/manga/game [that includes the character him/herself... yes, you read correctly. I can completely whip up Roy/Roy.] Seeing as this is completely random and my goal is to keep these drabbles completely in character, not all 'pairings' will be 'romantically involved', but I will try my best to make them interact as much as possible. So if you're uncomfortable seeing one specific pairing, then don't choose those characters.

When requesting please include the character name and the series that character comes from. If there are different formats of the same series [ex: FullMetal Alchemist has an anime, manga, and movie...] I have the right to choose the format I am most comfortable in. [EDIT: I refuse to do the FMA movie, 'cause I don't remember much of it. So don't request characters from it please!]

Refer to this entry for a list of the series I am willing/unwilling to write.
