Title: Three times the two of us first met
Series: Hellsing
Rating: T
Cast: HeinkelxYumie/ko
Disclaimer: Everything belongs to Hirano Kouta; I'm just borrowing.

Vintage fic. Wrote it in 2009 for a now-defunct prompt community (prompt: "first meetings")...then forgot I had finished it, whoops. Dusting it off now. Any HeinkelxYumie/ko shippers still in the house — this one's for you.

The first time Yumiko met Heinkel; the first time Yumie met Heinkel; and, as a result, the first time Yumiko met Yumie.

( 'Father Maxwell can stuff it,' replied Heinkel pleasantly. )

Title: Delicate & Innocent
Warnings: Violence; mental illness; sexual abuse; (canonical) character death.

They're a nun with multiple personalities who switches between a timid innocent and a katana-swinging berserker. S/he's a gun-wielding intersex soldier who poses as a priest. They fight crime!

...and they only appear in a handful of chapters (plus a couple of non-canon side stories), none of which are particularly character-development-filled. So most of this mix is personal fanon.

Cover art.

Snagged from tehlobster:

Post the first lines from each of your 25 most recent fanfic pieces and try to find a pattern.

( Under the cut... )

(What say the rest of you? Any thoughts? Observations? Blatantly obvious patterns that you can't believe I haven't spotted, already?)

Title: London In Memoriam

Legend tells us that Kōta Hirano once visited London, where he had such a bad time that he decided to destroy it. Given the agonizingly slow pace at which he draws manga, the city has been going up in flames for a few years now.

Here are some songs for London, and supernatural battles, and lost homes.

With different art, this could double as a Doctor Who mix. As it is, the cover illustration is from Hellsing, volume 7, chapter 8.

Title: Gentlemen, We Love War
Warnings: Some spoilers; lots of Nazis.

A two-disc mix for Millennium, the best bad guys ever. Seriously, they're a bunch of vampire Nazis who set out to make war for no reason other than they feel like it. What could be easier to hate?

The first disc covers the individual characters, with one or two songs for each. The second covers the general arc of the war. Walter's arc is unfortunately only touched on, but aside from that it tries to be comprehensive. Ranges from deadly serious to, frankly, pretty silly.

If you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence/paragraph/whatever from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favourite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don’t mention anything else — this is merely to whet the general appetite for your forthcoming work(s).

I did this for the comics, mixes, and fic I have in progress. There are kind of a lot of these.

The result is over on my blog (erinptah); follow the fake cut!

( Starring characters from fake news, Hellsing, Doctor Who, Strangers With Candy, Krazy Kat, Marimite, The Ambiguously Gay Duo, and The Lord of the Rings, not necessarily in that order. )
