Unwrap
Characters/Pairings: Temari/Sakura
Warnings: None
Spoilers: For the Kazekage rescue arc
Summary: Temari takes Sakura out to experience the desert.
Comments: This is just one of the best atmospheric pieces I’ve seen in a while. The author tries to capture the cold harshness of a desert at night, and I think she does a pretty good job. And, you know, Temari/Sakura.
One-shot, complete.

game two
Characters/Pairings: Kaoru/Haruhi/Hikaru
Warnings: None
Summary: Haruhi graduates to level two of the “Which one is Hikaru” game.
Comments: Possibly the most amusing thing about this is that I can see the twins actually doing that. And I like the twins, even if I’m not particularly focused on any Haruhi pairing.

Crazy
Characters/Pairings: Yamato/Ban
Warnings: None
Summary: “Ban is laughing the first time Yamato kisses him.”
Comments: You know, I honestly couldn’t tell you why I like this fic so much. The mood is very nicely done, and I find Ban’s characterization with Yamato to be interesting. Usually, this is not really a pairing that I’d bother to click on, much less rec, but something about this drabble just kind of clicked for me.
Short one-shot, complete.

Rules Drawn in Red
Characters/Pairings: Byakuya, implies Yoruichi/Soi Fong, Byakuya/Hisana, one-sided Byakuya/Rukia
Warnings: a few sexual implications, but not much
Summary: Byakuya, and the rules, and the people greater than the rules.
Comments: Wow. Just wow. This is one of the best - possibly the best Byakuya perspective I’ve seen. The contrasts and parallels between him and Soi Fong are just amazingly well-done, and his voice is just absolutely perfect.
One-shot, complete.

elegy to embers
Characters/Pairings: Axel, Sora, Roxas
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Yep
Summary: Axel, and what remains even after.
Comments: …Someone want to explain what I can say about this that won’t spoil anything, and I’ll happily say something, besides that it’s really good and made me sad.
One-shot, complete.

Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Allen from D.Greyman and Ari from Okage
Warnings: None
Summary: Allen talks about someone from home
Comments: I love Ari and Allen’s relationship in CFUD. It’s… I don’t quite know how to describe it, but it just works for me. And this is a great, great drabble for their relationship.
Things to know about CFUD: Ari is emo king. Allen is his big brother protector/advisor figure. Well, one of them. CFUD is extremely unpleasant for most the people there.
One-shot drabble, complete.

Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Rikuou/Kazahaya
Warnings: None
Summary: Rikuou’s morning routine
Comments: There’s few genres I enjoy more than fluffy angst. And this is utterly adorable, and I just kind of sympathize with Rikuou here.
What you need to know about CFUD: Buffy’s there, because she’s a friend of Rikuou in CFUD. Also, the mentioned Kon is her in-camp boyfriend. I would tell you what series he’s from, but comic series confuse the crap out of me.
One-shot drabble, complete.

Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Roxas/Axel
Warnings: None
Summary: Roxas and Axel discuss cats
Comments: Okay, tooth-rottingly sweet, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. And the world needs more good Roxas/Axel fluff
Things to know about CFUD to read this: Axel gave Roxas a kitten. Isn’t that cute?
One-shot, complete.

Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Axel/Roxas
Warnings: None
Summary: Roxas proves his existence through ice cream
Comments: This is just cute and angsty and fluffy and everything I love in fics. Yes.
Things to know about CFUD: Izumi is the teacher of Ed (from Fullmetal Alchemist), and she recently taught Roxas how to make ice cream. Also, not exactly important to understanding the drabble, but fun anyway, the thing posting the drabble is the Wang Fairy, which inhabits Lee’s (from Naruto) soul and gives him blissful amnesia when Sakura abandons him. I ♥ CFUD.

Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Roxas, Sora
Warnings: None
Summary: Roxas and Sora bond over skateboarding.
Comments: This is funny and cute and just made me like both characters just that bit more.
CFUD information needed to read this: [KH spoilers]Roxas is alive and separate from Sora. Oddly, if you don’t know the spoilers, you’ll find nothing wrong. Also, you should know that CFUD is cracktastic, which is what makes this drabble funny.
One-shot drabble, complete.

Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Axel/Roxas, Tomo (from Azumanga Daioh)
Warnings: Non-graphic sex, um, photography
Summary: Tomo walks in on a delicate situation.
Comments: God, this cracked me up probably more than it should have. Tomo is just so very…Tomo and UTTERLY IRREPRESSIBLE and Axel and Roxas’ reactions are just beautiful. Something you should know about CFUD, if you don’t follow it: Tomo has kind of made friends with Axel and Roxas, in the “Hey, I tease you and you tease back” kind of way. Her nickname for Axel is “Pornstar Butt” and Axel’s nickname for her is “Sugar Buns”. There’s kind of a reason, but mostly they just think it’s funny to call each other that, as far as I can tell. So…yeah.
One-shot drabble, complete.

Chasing Light
Characters/Pairings: Axel, Saix
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Yes. If you’re picky, avoid the rest of this rec, too.
Summary: Saix battles the traitor.
Comments: Huh. It’s very rare for me to really enjoy an action fic, but I did. It’s well-written, and I like the way Saix…mourns is not the right word, but I can’t think of a better one, Axel’s fall from greatness. And Axel’s response.
One-shot, complete.

Echoes
Characters/Pairings: Axel/Roxas
Warnings: None
Spoilers
Summary: Roxas walks with Axel and contemplates leaving.
Comments: Huh. This dealt with Axel’s conflict between his loyalty to Roxas and the Organization in a way that I haven’t seen before. And I find it a great deal more well-done and plausible than most of the lovey dovey fics. (Yes, fine, I adore fluff. I also adore dark, incredibly screwed up stuff. And pretty much everything in between.) And I like the author’s style of writing.
One-shot, complete

Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Sora, Axel, Axel/Roxas, possibly Sora/Axel
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Major ones
Summary: Post-game; Axel appears in Sora’s dreams.
Comments: Anything that I say is going to be intensely spoilerrific, so I’ll just say that I really, really enjoyed this.
Um. Theoretically part of a larger series, but no other parts exist.

Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Riku, Axel
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Yes, they exist. I wouldn’t even read the summary if you really care about spoilers.
Summary: Riku is found by a familiar enemy after losing a battle.
Comments: I really like the line of speculation in this fic. Totally not because it’s another line of support for Axel/Roxas. Really. It’s just one of those ideas that make me go “hmm…why didn’t I see this before?”
One-shot, complete.

Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Axel/Saix
Warnings: Um. Attempted rape? But stopped so early that I’m hesitant to warn for it.
Summary: Saix gets carried away.
Comments: Dude, Saix attempting to molest Axel is way hotter than it really should be. What I liked about this was that it didn’t tone down either of them - both of them are decidedly nasty people, it’s just that Axel’s cold-blooded except when it comes to Roxas and Saix isn’t. And that’s what I like, and not enough people write it.
One-shot, complete.

Kissing Cousins - Zack/Demyx
Mean Streets - Axel/Roxas ♥
Sugar and Spice - Axel/Larxene
Perks of the Job - Xigbar/Demyx

Warnings: Graphic sex, cousincest, age differences, consensual hatesex
Summary: Demyx is a club musician staying with his SOLDIER cousin Zack. Axel is a club performer who becomes intrigued with a street kid named Roxas. Hijinks and hot sex ensues.
Comments: Okay, this is not, by any means the deepest story I’ve ever recced. But it’s fun, and it’s well done, and the characterizations are all spot on. And I am totally and utterly converted to Zack/Demyx.

Added First-Time Jitters on June 28, 2006.

“Cold” and “Guilty by Implication” - two drabbles
Characters/Pairings: Axel/Roxas
Warnings: None
Summary: (1)Axel doesn’t understand Roxas’ love of ice cream, but he indulges it anyway. (2) It’s never boring knowing Axel.
COmments: These just made me go awww and hee respectively. I like how they’re characterized, and I like the contrast between Axel and fire, and Roxas’ love of ice cream. And you can almost never go wrong with sticking two characters in a small, private room.
One-shots, complete.

Three Scenes That Could Be A Beginning
Characters/Pairings: Polly/Maladicta
Warnings: None
Summary: Polly and Maladicta don’t quite know how to court each toher. So they do it another way.
Comments: I’ve always been fond of Polly/Maladicta for various reasons, and this is a nice fic. It’s kind of… I don’t quite know how to describe it. It’s sweet and awkward and just how I think their relationship would begin.
One-shot, complete.

Stalemates
Characters/Pairings: Axel, Roxas, Demyx. Faint Axel/Roxas
Warnings: None
Summary: Axel prefers those who don’t fit in.
Comments: An interesting, interesting fic. I like the Axel characterization, I like the way the character interactions are done, I like the way the Organization is portrayed. I’m not a big fan of the writing style, but the rest of it won me over.
One-shot, complete.
