I was not able to finish this on time for Valentine's Day or Shu's birthday (which were back in February), but I can finally say that I wrote my first Arc the Lad fanfic! <3

With A Little Help... - an Arc the Lad fanfic by AuroraDerall

Setting is after Arc 3. It is a lighthearted Cheryl story with (implied) Tosh x Shu.


Summary:
During a work trip to Testa, Cheryl debates what kind of sentiment is her admiration for a certain ninja gunslinger, and a certain samurai guardian of the town helps her sort things out. (Or tries, at least.)

Hope you enjoy! ^_^
aruru: Gaav closeup from a yaoi commission my friend Carla drew! She likes to mess around before she's done & doodled a penis. (damn you Carla this is still hilarious)
Here's something else I wrote several years ago for a friend as a "thank you" for a commission they drew for me. I put up the final proofread edit for reading on AO3 (Thanks again for the help and sorry I took so long in sharing it, Red and Jade!) around the same time I finished Yuletide:
 
 
Gaav x Valgaav, R-18 vignette. I was trying to do something that would convey a possible mood for my friend's drawing (current URL for the image is here, since Tumblr killed her art blogs [along with my original draft] - like the fic, it is NSFW), and hopefully I succeeded.
 
 
 
Summary: A bath and shower is a good time to reflect on the goings-on of one's days, and Gaav certainly has a... pleasant amount of things to consider.
 

Hope my fellow Slayers fans enjoy!

So, now that reveals have long passed, I can share what I wrote for Yuletide!
 
 
General audiences, post-game vignette, references to Jack x Elmina. A little bittersweet in tone, slightly fluffy/cute in other bits.
 
 
 
Summary: After some training with Rudy and Zed, Jack gets caught up in nostalgia and shares a small anecdote about himself and Elmina in his trainee days.​​​​
 
 
 
Hope anyone who loves Wild Arms will enjoy this!

Well, after forever being indecisive and then lazy about it over goodness knows how many years, I finally imported my LJ here. Seems like the procedure was painless.

It's a good question of what I intend to do now with this Dreamwidth account (which I had forever but kept waffling on it). Most of what I've been doing over on the internet nowadays has been on:

1. my Twitter account (mostly RTing and nostalgic squeeing over Slayers, Arc the Lad, and other random stuff), 
2. my Tumblr account, but especially most active on the Arc fanblog I co-run on the service with a friend, and
3. also getting a Discord server for fans of said series up and going. 

....and now I've found myself also trying out Pillowfort and setting up some communities there to see how it goes (again for Slayers and Arc, LOL -- I'm also highly tempted to set up a Wild Arms community). And deciding what to do over here (and Pillowfort) -- I haven't blogged the way I did on LJ since like, 2010-ish, and Tumblr just doesn't have the same feel.

I figure I'll probably use it to at least keep tabs on [community profile] yuletide_admin, since even though I've never participated in it, I've been contemplating it for a few years now. I'm very shy about it, committing, and doing okay at it... I've at least managed to nominate the fandoms I'd love to see this time, though.

Maybe I should consider crossposting some of my Pillowfort entries (once I have more) along with some of my newer Tumblr posts? Consolidating some of my presence might be reasonable... 🤔

Anyway, for any new people coming across this: Hi, I'm known as either Aurora Derall or (Fujoshi) Aruru! I'll try to make an intro post or an updated interests list ASAP! :D
