Offerings & Recs of Secondary Ships

2008-06-22T08:29:52Z

okay, so i bring a completed story! woo! for those waiting for more of "inside out", my dryden/millerna fic, i've hit a wall. i definitely have more chapters, but i wanted to present them in a quick and consise, finished manner. i added in a subplot, and am working it into the existing chapters, and even changed the title. so it'll come back eventually, hopefully finished so no one has to wait.

in the meantime, here's some other stuff to keep you occupado.

Between The Lines - rated T, posted on ffnet, it's an Eries/Folken and Eries/Allen pre-series through the end of the series fic. so far i've garnered decent reviews, so it's not just me saying it's any good :) i'm actually rather proud of it. and i wrote it in record time - like, less than a week. crazy.
Little Sister - rated K, just a short one-shot about Millerna set after "Dangerous Wounds" and before "False Vows" (remember the Elvis song? "Little sister don't you do what your big sister done...")

the Recs part:

if anyone hasn't read it yet, you really should check out a trilogy by Aerika S on ffnet, which starts with Secret Life of a Girl (rated K+). it's an Eries-centric fic, with the first part being pre-series (and she has some really really great original characters), the second part, "Always", being the series bit, and the third part, still in progress but with plenty of chapters to take up your time, "Intrigues of a Princess". i admit, i read the last one first, not knowing there were others. but i suggest you start at the beginning to get the whole picture. good good stuff.
and of course, because I can't remember how i first found out about it, i'll pass it on here - Didodikali's "Four Minutes", which has to be the funniest, sweetest thing i ever read. alas, it does get smutty, and it's illustrated, so the rating is NC-17, but it's not ALL smut. it's mostly just sweet and funny and good. and i laughed my corny ass off at the horse joke. i really did. and Dryden is just so damn adorable. there is a bit of making fun of allen, but i assure you, it's all good-natured. he does have really nice hair...
lastly, but not least, despite being such a hardcore Dryden/Millerna fan, i still really enjoyed Second Loves, Second Chances, a *gasp* Eries/Dryden fic. i was dubious myself at first, but it's so well written, and makes so much sense based on their take of D/M that you can't help but go with their flow. and they use original characters from Aerika S's trilogy (as well as her "version" of Celena), so you might want to familiarize yourself with that first - it's a different conclusion, rather than "Intrigues", it's spliced in right after the series ends...

hope it's a bit to keep you busy for awhile.

"A Hiding Place", Escaflowne, done for 31 Days

2008-05-18T04:31:44Z

Title: A Hiding Place
Day/Theme: May 17th / Did I dream this belief, or did I believe this dream?
Series: Vision of Escaflowne
Character/Pairing: Hitomi/Van
Rating: G
Warnings: MEGA SERIES SPOILER WARNING!

Every few years Hitomi dreamed of Guymelefs, of the world on fire and Escaflowne tearing through the sky with war on its wings. The old fear swept back powerfully every time and just as loudly as the real thing, just as hot and full of smoke. Even in her sleep she broke out into a sweat and smothered back her strangled protests, trembling as she remembered.

A lonely figure on the ground, below the battlefield, Hitomi stretched her neck out into the foul air and cried out with her hatred of violence, all the while searching for Van's face between his dragon's aggression. It never came into sight until the top of Escaflowne became visible, until it took a blast and pitched downward, and fell to the ground, then crashed in a heap of flame.

She never saw his wings unfold, his face as he fell, and he never saw her watching. In Hitomi’s chest bloomed her most hated of memories – the feeling of visions, of invisibility, of ghosts.

Hitomi woke every time with her vision blurred. Then, unfailingly, she stepped out onto her balcony and cleared her eyes with the stars, watching carefully as they shone only to fade away at daybreak.

It was not that Hitomi doubted what their sacrifice did for Gaea, nor that she believed Van would once again go to war. It was not that Hitomi believed war could kill him. On occasion, though, on the days when she sleepwalked through school and work and even track practice, her thoughts would wander the green and blue planes of Gaea the way she could not.

She would visit Allen by pearly waves, navigate the humming crowds of Fanelia. She would speak in every tongue, evaluate bad politics and peaceful compromises, and witness close shaves with aggressive neighbors. She would look for Van and find Escaflowne in its hiding place.

She even glimpsed the wedding of Millerna and Dryden, which she foresaw in her tarot cards the one night since Gaea that she, nostalgic, dared to open them. She had held the cards silently and then put a hand to where her pendant used to be, knowing that with her on the Mystic Moon, they were safe.

Hitomi herself was engaged by the time she had her last dream of Guymelefs. She was thirty then, single for a long time under the pretense of a successful track career. Her fiancee was a man she loved on Earth during peacetime. If she had loved him during wartime, she could never tell; she lived in peace to the end of her days.

But before she had ever moved on, Hitomi had a dream, and the man she loved on Earth was not in it. The scenes she loved on Earth were not in it. There was only a field, a dense forest in the distance, and a blue sky that curved lovingly above her. Beneath her sneakers the grass was soft and wet with new rain, and lodged in the blue above was a twin set of moons, as perfect as if they were stolen from her memory.

This place, Hitomi thought, reeling even as she remembered she was in a dream and nothing was real. This place. She knew it; countless times she had shouted from here, watched fire in the sky and beasts in the air, and felt helpless.

Countless times she had watched Van fall here, die. Hitomi gave a start and glanced around suddenly, her vision darkening as she thought again of the war-bitten world in her dreams.

"Up here, Hitomi." A voice. It came from high above her, distant but ringing with joy, gently carried upon the air.

With a breaking heart, Hitomi knew then that, fire or no fire, she was dreaming. She looked up.

Van’s Guymelef was the only one within sight; there were no enemies, no flames, no fights, only rippling green grass as far as the eye could see. For all the wind and tossed clouds, Hitomi thought it was quieter here than the end of the world could allow, and Van atop Escaflowne more impossible. His wings were spread, fanning out from his shoulders, the white of its feathers more blinding than the sun.

Where are the flames, the soldiers, the earth-brown buildings of Fanelia? Hitomi asked herself, stunned and fearing grace. Why are we together and alone, in such a clear place? Have I died?

Van can’t have. But I’ve never had such a dream. Hitomi stared. He was in the red shirt she remembered, from long ago. “Van.”

“It’s been a while, Hitomi,” Van continued. He was too far up for her to see his face, but Hitomi heard the smile in his voice and felt it resonate with something rising within her, the exact same something that had driven her to run towards him those many, many years ago, away from Amano and Yukari and everything that had never been Gaea.

Hitomi was running. “Van!” she shouted suddenly; she had sprinted her race, finished her dash to the edge of the world, propelled herself forward to run and step into the sky. She was running again.

“Come down, Van! I can’t see you from here!”

He came down to meet her.

* * * * *

It turned out that Van had been having the same dreams as she, and somehow they were meant to meet in this dream-state because of it. “Dreams and not reality, right?” Hitomi had asked. “Has it been peaceful in Fanelia?” Without me?

Van glanced at her silently, perhaps asking the same question. Their sacrifice towered invisibly between them as they sat side by side, not new to defying fate. “The wars in those dreams are the old ones. Without the power of Atlantis, Gaea has become a safer place,” he added, “but emptier somehow.”

A pause. “All of us miss you.”

“And I miss all of you. It’s been a while,” she echoed. “For all of these years, I’ve never stopped worrying, and these new dreams don’t help. Is Fanelia on the brink of war?”

“No, not at all,” Van said.

“What about Asturia? Have there been any isolated battles?”

“No, and not to my knowledge,” he answered again.

”So why are we having these dreams? Why are we sitting here like this?”

”I don’t know, Hitomi,” Van said calmly. Then he smiled, making Hitomi’s joy move in waves within her, and he took her hand and she took his. It felt solid, flesh that would have been flesh on either Gaea or the Mystic Moon. Hitomi still did not know where they were. “I can’t tell if you’re complaining or not.”

“I’m not,” she assured him emphatically, tightening her hold. “I’m not. I’m only scared that this is one night’s dream and that you’ll vanish as soon as it gets light. But those dreams of the great war can’t be ordinary. They’re like visions.”

“Maybe that’s what they are,” he speculated, and together they thought back darkly on the great war and the disasters that had cropped out of fear alone, built on the power of Atlantis.

“One of us is doubting again,” Van admitted carefully, because Hitomi, who had blanched suddenly, would not. But she would not let go of his hand either. “Hitomi,” he said seriously, “I promised you that I would never allow another war like the one we suffered before. You don’t have to doubt me.”

“If I’m not there to watch what’s happening on Gaea,” to watch you, “then of course I’m going to worry. But I’m not doubting you, Van.”

Hitomi took a deep breath. She was older now, wiser, sadder about their separation than ever before. But she would tell him the truth. “I hated the war, and I hated fighting, and sometimes I hated seeing you on top of Escaflowne, but I think I realize now that I can’t separate war from my memories of Gaea. You fought in a war, and one day you’ll fight in another way, and I won’t be there. I might not know what happens to you, but I can’t be scared,” she finished.

Van didn’t answer. The heavy silence cowed Hitomi, so she asked, “How much time do we have here?”

He shifted beside her, retaining his hold on her hand but facing her and leaning over slightly, no longer smiling. “I don’t know. Hitomi, I already promised you that I would do everything in my power to keep out of war. I’m never fighting again.”

“That can’t be,” she said sharply. “You’re a king. Sooner or later, for your country, you have to fight. If nothing else, the great war proved that, and my telling you to stop fighting only ever held you back.”

“Hitomi, I can be a king without fighting.”

But Hitomi would not admit that she disbelieved this with all her heart, she knew it to be impossible, she had cried her heart out years ago (and the tears had never run out) because she knew it to be impossible. As they sat together on the grass, Hitomi, barely conscious that it was all a dream, began to imagine rain, a light drizzle that would come in invisible, weeping curtains. She thought she could even feel it very slightly, coming down upon their shoulders as the sadness they held at bay.

She clutched his arm and told him, “These are not the questions I wanted to ask you, Van, after all these years. Asking you about wars and fights – but that’s not what I want to know.”

“Millerna and Dryden were married a year ago, and the wedding doubled as Dryden’s coronation. But everyone knows that Millerna, as the daughter of Asturia, rules the country.”

“I know that,” Hitomi said happily as Van’s eyes widened in confusion. “I saw it in my tarot cards one night. It’s not the same as being there, though, especially to see it so different from their last wedding.

Van, are you married yet?”

The drizzle had yielded to a flood of sunlight, which came cutting through the blue to gather in patches on the wet grass. Up above them, the white remnants of scattered clouds crossed the sky as it curved slowly like a dome. “No, I’m not married yet,” Van finally admitted, “not that the advisors haven’t tried their hardest, though. What about you, Hitomi?”

“But Fanelia needs a queen,” Hitomi said with a sad smile. She looked down at their joined hands and waited for a moment. “I’m engaged.”

“Ah,” Van said.

“But it hasn’t changed anything,” she continued to say to the grass, to their clasped hands. “I haven’t forgotten anything. It hasn’t become more important.”

“Hitomi.” Van said her name with a curiously solemn tone, but when she looked up at him, she saw his expression change like that of a man pierced fatally from behind. She felt it cross him and penetrate her as well.

“Hitomi, we’re waking up soon,” he said instead. “Don’t let go of my hand until then.”

She wouldn’t dare. In their dream world, Hitomi almost made it rain once more, almost made it storm this time and turn the skies an ashen gray and the rain to poured ash. She felt her mind swimming, her body falling deep within her, her heart threatening to kill her with its panic. The only thing she could hold on to was – he was right – her hand in his, his warm touch realer than earth.

“Van, I love you,” she said, and for a moment it was like he was not going anywhere. He looked at her, and he wanted to kiss her, she could tell – she wanted the same – but he was vanishing, he was finished, there was no time le-

It all faded in an instant, every sensation disappearing suddenly into coarse bedsheets, but the warmth of his lips, the rain on their shoulders, remained.

* * * * *

Hitomi knew she would never see him again. She knew that there would never again be such a dream, such a conversation - this was the way things ended: by never ending. Over fifteen years’ worth of tears broke their barrier deep within her, and she curled up to cry like she never did again.

When she was finished, she kept her eyes closed, and like a baby she comforted herself. There was lots of green, lots of blue, all of it very high and far away – earlier, she had wanted to fly and she certainly did, only that her feet never left the ground.

After a while, Hitomi surfaced from beneath her blankets, and the air she breathed in was cold and clear and dry. Longing for the stars, she pushed them impatiently off, and then shifted her head on her pillow. It was then that she felt it: something hard underneath, like a hefty rock.

She sat up suddenly and unraveled it, feeling ready for anything. Then the pillow was off, the offender visible, and Hitomi realized she wasn’t.

Beneath her pillow was Escaflowne’s crystal energist, red and shaped like a teardrop. Van proved better than his word.

-- end.

Intro & Fic

2008-05-12T23:50:51Z

Hello everyone! *waves*

This is my first post in this community. I've been posting at FFNet for quite a while now, and since there haven't been any memorable Escaflowne fics to read around there recently, I've sorta migrated to LJ. Since I'm still a newbie here, apologies in advance for anything stupid I might do while I get my bearings. ^^

And so this post won't completely bore you, here's a link to one of my on-going fics at FFNet:

Title: Torushina
Genre(s): Romance (with some action and drama)
Rating: T
Pairings: Celena x Dilandau
Description: This is a continuation fic that picks up where the movie left off, following what happened to the surviving Dragon Slayers.

"Inside Out", Dryden/Millerna

2008-05-10T04:33:44Z

(x-posted to escafans)

okay, so there is far too little dryden/millerna love in this world. i've finally finished part one of one i've been working on since my second watch-through of this series about a week ago. (i amaze myself sometimes...there are some things that just fly from my brain to the screen)

it is not, however, a cliffhangery part one. i think it ends well. of course, this is open to interpretation.

Title: Inside Out, Part the First
'Verse: Escaflowne, post-series
Characters/Pairing: Millerna, Allen, Dryden, Millerna/Dryden, a bit of Millerna/Allen
Rating: PG
Word Count: approx. 4600
Disclaimer: Characters, 'verse, etc all copyright Someone Not Me. just messin' about with 'em.
Author's Note: This is my first Esca fic. I always thought my favourite ship was Van/Hitomi, but the second time through, I realized I loved Dryden Fassa. And I wanted him to be happy. And Dryden/Millerna fic is awfully thin on the ground, so this is me trying to beef up the ranks a little. There will be more, but I felt this was a good place to stop, because it stands on its own, yet leaves the end open for more...

Inside Out, Part I

Since I advertised another fic earlier (and I'm excited about finishing the final draft of one of my stories), I'm advertising mine. I hope you like them.

Title: Between Days
Genres: Adventure/Romance
Rating: Teen for some violence and sexual innuendo.
Pairings: Hitomi/Van, some others perhaps.
Description: This is a story about what happens to the cast of Escaflowne (focusing on Van and Hitomi) between the time that Zaibach falls and Hitomi leaves for Earth. I've wondered for years what happened in that second-long blip between time and location, so I decided to write about it and find out. Sixteen chapters so far, currently working on the seventeenth. Please read and review if you've got time.

Title: The Past and the Pending
Genres: Romance/Angst
Rating: K+ is fine. Death is mentioned.
Pairings: Van/Merle, Van/Hitomi.
Description: A story by Merle, about growing up with Van and about getting to know Hitomi. A love story. I just finished the final draft today. No reviews so far, but a girl can hope, can't she?

Between the Lines (disclaimer: NOT MINE)

2008-05-04T22:55:43Z

Title: Between the Lines
Genre: Drama
Rating: K
Pairings (if applicable): Hitomi/Van, Hitomi/Allen
Beta Reader: Unknown.
Description: Cannon Blanket-fic. Two people, One bed, Long night. Hitomi accompanies Van alone and unchaperoned to meet the summons by Pack Leader Ruhm.
Author: Nightheart

So I didn't write this. I do, however, think it's brilliant, and that it needs more attention than it's gotten (Only 10 reviews! Injustice!). So read this! Leave a review! Do it for love and justice!

FIC: Seeking Arcadia

2008-04-25T17:31:24Z

Title: Seeking Arcadia
Genre(s): Drama, Romance
Rating: T+

Beta Reader: yahnkehy

In other words, she was a perfectly normal woman. Multi-chaptered, eventually novella length.

In Need of Beta

2005-11-26T09:08:02Z

I'm going to mirror this post on escafans and heavenlyskies.

I'm in desperate need of a beta-reader for an Escaflowne continuation fic. (Not a Mary-Sue, not Slash.) My problem isn't really horrible grammar, though there are a few instances that I'm sure I should be shot for it. What I'm really in need of is someone to check continuity with the previous chapters and the canon. It's a project that's taken a back seat to school for the last six months, but I can't seem to finish it on my own with all that I have to do.

Which of course begs the question... Why come to the fans and not go to some big beta reader list?

This story started because I really love the characters of Escaflowne, and I'd like to think that my readers have come to love the characters and the story as I'm developing it. I'm not really interested in a beta that's unfamiliar with the sesries. Ideally, as with my other beta readers, I'll be able to have plot conversations with this person, which requires more than a passing familiarity with the show.

If anyone is interested, or knows someone who might be, please let me know and I can give you links to the story to see where it stood before this school-induced hiatus.

Thanks for taking the time out to read this.

Well, hello there.
I'm known as Wiki (bionicdolphin on fanfiction.net,) and I write Escaflowne fanfiction. Such an interesting biography, no? Well, I've always believed I could never be summed up in a few short lines of text. Get to know me, then define me.

Anywho, I've got this rockin' story out, and I think it's totally ... er, rockin', so I'm putting the description and stuff here! (Please note the term 'rockin'' is used as sarcastically as humanly possible.)

Title: The Revision of Escaflowne
Genre(s): Drama, Action, Romance
Rating: M (Hasn't got any serious sexual stuff in it yet, but it does later on, so it's fair to M it.)
Pairings (if applicable): Dilandau and z0mg someone new.
Beta Reader (if applicable): Apply?
Description: A girl of seventeen named Gabrielle gets rather rudely thrust into the world of Gaia. A sly and quite cynical Dilandau and Chesta take her back to the base, for curiosity's sake. There she is inundated into the DragonSlayers, and our epic story begins. (It's actually a lot better than the description sounds.) Delving into the psychology of Dilandau and the characters around him, Revision explains more of his past and how he came to be.

Shattered Memories
Chapter 1

Van looked at the Fanialian land with tears running down his face. Why did this have to happen? Why was his country destroyed with all of his friends and loved one's along with it? How would he forget about all this that had happened to Fanalia? He didn't know. All that he knew was that his life would never be the same. Little did he know neither would the magic girl from the mystic moon. But this girl wasn't Hitomi. It was a different, kirei girl named Rachel.

Rachel showed up in the world of Gaia before Hitomi. Her magical power's which were much stronger then Hitomi's, called her they're. She had long, flowing pink hair with purple streaks mingled in it. Her eyes were pure cerulean blue and also had purple flecks in them. She wore a white school uniform with a short skirt and a purple bow around the neck part. Since Rachel showed up before Hitomi, she had been there awile before Fanalia was destroyed. She saw the destruction and was very upset by it.

Rachel had a part time job in a big city, so she could afford a small apartment where she lived happily...until Fanalia was destroyed. Why was she sad because Fanalia was destroyed? Well, it was because a few months ago she had a yume about the prince of Fanalia, Van. In her dream she was told that Van was her true love and that she was supossed to wait until the revealed time to see him. She didnt know what that time was, all she knew was that her love was hurt and that she couldn't see him yet.

New to the Group

Hi all,

I'm new to this particular group, but not to the world of Escaflowne Fanfiction. I've been writing that since 2001 when I started putting up a continuation story about Van and Hitomi and what happened in Gaea after the war. I only recently started exploring the LJ community groups feature, so that's why it took me so long to get here. ^_^ I figured since I joined, I would say hello and post up links to the two books of the story I was working on. I will mark appropriately with WIP and FINISHED as it applies.

Title: Amoro Revidi
Genre(s): Drama, Romance
Rating: PG-13 (or T on ff.net)
Pairings (if applicable): VanxHitomi, MillernaxDryden, etc.
Description: Set 6 years after the series. Hitomi and Van have lost touch over the time that's passed, and the changes in Hitomi's life, but when a tragic accident steals Hitomi's family from her, it's Van she turns to, and Gaea she escapes away to. But what sort of a world is it that Gaea has become in her absence? War brews on the horizon of the ever-turbulent Gaea, all sparked by one man's jealousy and anger. Status: FINISHED (but continued in the second 'book')

Title: Amare Dividere
Genre(s): Drama, Romance
Rating: PG-13 (or T on ff.net)

With Van on Earth after an attack by the invading Norte army, Hitomi must face ruling a kingdom alone with war at her doorstep. In Asturia, the retired princess Eries is summoned back to Palas to rule in her sister's absence, as the throne must be held by an Aston, but some wonder why the elder of the two living princesses did not take the throne instead of the kidnapped Queen.
Status: WIP (chapter 22/30)
