1. "Black Wings" - A Princess Tutu role-reversal AU fic. Fakir is a raven training to become one of Kinkan's elite warriors, known as the Black Wings. In order to complete his training, he must complete a final task--finding and consuming a pure human heart. It's a shame really, that the one girl he chooses seems to have no heart at all.

2. "The Life and Death of Julia Burnsides" - A TAZ fic in which Julia grows up, falls in love, stages a rebellion, and gives the afterlife more than it ever bargained for.

3. "Down at Kinkan Place" - A Princess Tutu "And-They-Were-Neighbors-in-the-Same-Crappy-Apartment-Building" fic in which Ahiru is convinced that the dark-haired, glasses-wearing teacher next door is a grumpy judgmental bore--until she sprains her ankle and he has to take care of her for the weekend.

4. [Untitled - Frozen 2] - A clueless-WLW-in-love Elsamaren fic in which Elsa's powers continue to grow in ways both beautiful and frightening--and in which she begins to explore parts of herself she's never had the space and safety to contemplate before. But like, maybe it's nothing and she's imagining things, because Honeymaren is just super nice and that doesn't necessarily mean anything because she might just be this nice to everyone. Ha. Ha ha. So how about this weather though?

5. [Untitled - Princess Tutu] - A "Little Mermaid" Fakiru fic--BECAUSE WHY THE HECK NOT--in which a young mermaid Ahiru accepts a role in a prophecy that might allow her to finally bring back the royal prince's smile. Though not having legs is no longer a hurdle, the prince's surly, magic-hating bodyguard sure as hell is.

6. [Untitled - Princess Tutu] - An AhiRue fic in which the story takes an unexpected turn. One princess was meant to marry the prince, and one was meant to die. What happens when they cut out the middle-man and give a big middle finger to expectation?

7. "The Heart Within" - my revamped post-series Princess Tutu fic. Four years after the final battle, Fakir discovers Ahiru is dying and makes a desperate bargain to save her life. Human again, and without any memories of her previous life, Ahiru must complete a story of Fakir's own devising if she is to keep the life he's bargained for.

“Laying sprawled on the second floor landing of her apartment building was not how Ahiru had envisioned spending her Friday evening. But here she was, her ankle barking in pain and her yellow shoulder bag lying a few feet away, its contents spilling across the black and white art deco tiles.”

As if it wasn’t enough that I’ve been writing my one post-canon Princess Tutu fic for ten years (OOPS), I suddenly got an idea for a contemporary AU fic. I’m sure the trope has already been done, buuuuut... NOT BY ME, RIGHT? 

In this fic, Ahiru and Fakir are next-door neighbors on the same floor of the same apartment building. They are also mortal enemies. Then, one day she locks herself out of her apartment and sprains her ankle, so Fakir begrudgingly lets her stay in his apartment for the weekend, where their three-year animosity finally comes to a head.
