Herin is most all of the GetBackers stuff I've ever written. It will almost certainly be expanded.
Please note most of these stories only exist at the original URLs at the moment; they'll go up on the site sooner or later. If you want to help, e-mail me for the site password.
Stories
All the GetBackers stories I have written (with the exception of several I don't consider canonical to my personal fic-universe, which really aren't worth reading, IMO). In approximate order of writing.
Blessing?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/20913.html
I should redo this one some time; it was written while I was still feeling my way around the characters. Sakura and Makubex's first time. It has been described as "cute" and "sweet", although I think it's one of the more disuturbing pieces I've written, at least when one thinks about it for a while.
Regrets?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/23255.html
Ban thinks about Yamato and Ginji. No plot. Kind of generic but nicely lyrical.
No good at stories?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/24222.html
Untitled snippet with Ren and Makubex which I meant to expand but never did. Set when they were little kids.
non est ad astra mollis e terris via?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/26298.html
At the time I wrote it this was the longest fanfic I had ever written. Sakura, Makubex, and them together - a long exploration of their relationship, and how and why Sakura became so loyal to him, and why he came to depend on her so much.
Five Things that Never Happened to Makubex?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/29283.html
AU, in a traditional fanfic format. Five different people who could have changed Makubex's life (or ended it), and how and when. This is also one of the first fics in which my obsession with repeating and strongly structured story-forms becomes obvious, although it was present in Ad Astra.
Birthday Suprise?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/30815.html
Himiko gets an unexpected birthday gift. Or two. Short, but tons of fun to write.
Drunken Antics?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/31181.html
Ban, Ginji, and Natsumi play a rousing game of Truth or Dare. I should note than in my mind Natsumi is not nearly so innocent as she looks.
The Spork of Doom?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/31547.html
Sort of a .hack crossover which is ALL WHITE ASTER'S FAULT. Come on, you just KNOW Makubex spends his spare time playing mmorpgs! It makes perfect sense!
Genderswitch drabbles?
Original URLs: http://gisho.livejournal.com/32441.html, http://gisho.livejournal.com/32733.html
One thousand words total in 100-word increments. What if the main characters had been female? I changed one character at a time here although I do have some more squirelled away on my hard drive in which Ban and Ginji both were girls; someday I shall even finish them.
Metaphor?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/34565.html
Madoka and Shido think about what their love means. Short, sweet, it's been done but this was entertaining.
Makeup sex?
Original URL: http://livejournal.com/~getbackers/440084.html
Untitled fic in which Ban and Ginji and Himiko get together and enjoy themselves. Non-explicit. I'm not sure of my Himiko characterization but hey, it's fun to play with.
Rememberance?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/35709.html
My attempt to do for Makubex and Ren what Ad Astra did for Makubex and Sakura - scenes in an interlaced chronological pattern about their relationship at different points. It's too short and I will someday return to the theme. But I had a point to make with this one (a plothole to patch, more accurately) and it worked out well for what it was.
Cat's Cradle?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/42258.html
In which my love of repeating, structured story-forms completely takes over my brain. Or, more poetically: In which a lesson is passed around and passed on, and means something different to everyone.
Give And Take?
Original URL: http://www.livejournal.com/community/getbackers/483388.html
AKA: The Fic I Can't Believe I Wrote. Sakura/Makubex, very much in that order, warnings for incest issues, consent issues, etc. ... Despite that, only just barely explicit. (See also
Give and Take draft version, which is if anything creepier. If you dare.)
Safety Catch?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/49688.html
Ban finds out that some things were never really innocent and tries to convince himself otherwise. Oddly enough, contains the cutest, youngest, most true to canon Natsumi I've ever written.
In return for grace?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/50685.html
Ren and Toshiki have a lot in common, and might become friends if the opportunity arose. I'm a fanfic writer, so of course the opportunity arose. Petronia did it first, but I took it different places.
The Ice Cream Terror?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/58507.html
The darkness shall cover me?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/62166.html
The first of nine fics which will all be written by next June, really, I promise. Makubex and Emishi have a nice chat. Well, sort of nice, and sort of absurd and disturbing.
The Promise Never Made?
Original URL: http://gisho.livejournal.com/64429.html
Things might have gone very differently for Sakura, if her loyalty had been to her family's tradition, or her family's ideals, instead of to her family. Or: An author wants to do a Five Things That Never Happened fic for Sakura, but can only think of two.
Other stuff
The Future We Should Have?
Original URL: http://www.livejournal.com/~ship_maifesto/60646.html
A brief essay done for ship_manifesto about Sakura and Makubex, which was also my blatant attempt to get more people to write it.
Coming Soon: My explanation of why Mugenjou is really Tokyo Below, no, rally, sort of, at least. And a GetBackers/Neverwhere crossover fic that attempts to explain the same stuff without being meta and also with more antics.
