The Testing Point

Brightwanderer: /* Author's Notes */

''The Testing Point'' is a story written by [[Rosei Aki]]. It ran in [[Issue 42]] and can be found at [http://s2b2.livejournal.com/248054.html s2b2.livejournal.com/248054.html] and [http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/the-testing-point/ shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/the-testing-point/]

== Summary ==

Hostage to a marriage he never would have chosen, Devryn nonetheless finds his new husband, Rowe of Relganor, at the very least tolerable, though his father the King is a tyrant who holds his domain in thrall. But then the scalding sweat strikes the kingdom, and at the testing point, it seems both have more courage - and more in common - than they might have guessed.

(Spoilers)

I've had this scenario in my head for a very long time... one half of an arranged marriage, whose life would probably be improved by the death of their partner, nonetheless taking a considerable risk to save their life because the idea that everyone else would walk away is just too appalling.

The Scalding Sweat is not a real disease but I did spend some time working out the mechanics of it. It's spread from one infected person to another by bedbugs, which is why it sometimes gets everyone (in places where sharing beds is common, and if infected travellers stay at inns) and sometimes doesn't spread at all.

I'm working on a longer, novel-length version of this story. Although I like how it came out originally, I felt I had to cram a lot of stuff in quickly to get the world up and running, and the ending was too abrupt. The novel version will have a more gradual relatonship build-up, and a follow-through on the rebellion against the King.

Brightwanderer: /* Trivia */

Rosei Aki (浪星あき) is also known in various fandoms as Atalan (LJ: childofatlantis). Her fanfic can be found at [http://archiveofourown.org/users/Atalan/ Archive of Our Own], [https://www.fanfiction.net/u/34574/Atalan Fanfiction.net], and her archived writing journal on [http://atalan-fic.livejournal.com Livejournal] or [http://atalan-fic.dreamwidth.org Dreamwidth].

She is no longer writing fanfic as she is concentrating on original fiction under the name [http://brightwanderer.dreamwidth.org/ Brightwanderer] (Helen Bright). After an attempt at launching immediately into an epic multi-book fantasy series with a million characters sort of fell over (who could have seen that coming?) she's decided to try one-off m/m fantasy romance novels, expanding some SSBB stories and working on other ideas that never made it into issues because they didn't lend themselves well to the format.

She would very much appreciate any encouraging words anyone has to throw [mailto:brightwanderer@gmail.com her way], especially if readers actually want to see longer versions of particular stories.

Circles in the Sands of Time

Brightwanderer: /* Author's Notes */

''Circles in the Sands of Time'' is a story written by [[Rosei Aki]]. It ran in [[Issue 43]] and can be found at [http://s2b2.livejournal.com/250745.html s2b2.livejournal.com/250745.html] and [http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/circles-in-the-sands-of-time/ shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/circles-in-the-sands-of-time/]

== Summary ==

Shoichi didn't exactly ask to be catapulted into a shoujo manga by finding out he's one of the Celestial Guardians, but he's mostly getting the hang of it, transforming into Guardian Luna to fight the Infernal Multitude, and attempting to recover the mysterious Shards. At least until he starts to wonder about the elusive Kestrel, who seems to be working against both the Guardians and the Multitude...

== Author's Notes ==

Sailor Moon was my first real fandom. Ever since, I've had a tendency to idly throw characters from whatever my current fandom is into the Sailor Moon setting to see what happens. It gets especially interesting when said characters are not girls, and/or have a somehwat more cynical view of destiny... the eventual end result was this homage/blatant rip-off featuring a magical girl team composed not only of girls, and a mystical ancient guardian who has way too much of an agenda of her own. Plus bonus asides on gender essentialism!

As of August 2014 I decided to do something with the ridiculously expansive backstory, i.e. write the actual co-ed magical girl series I was trying to give the impression of in "Circles". Currently I'm posting excerpts and bits of art on [http://brightwanderer.dreamwidth.org Dreamwidth].

In The Twilight Of The Day

Brightwanderer: /* Author's Notes */

''In the Twilight of the Day'' is a story written by [[Rosei Aki]]. It ran in [[Issue 22]] and can be found at [http://s2b2.livejournal.com/123897.html s2b2.livejournal.com/123897.html] and [http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/in-the-twilight-of-the-day/ shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/in-the-twilight-of-the-day/]

== Summary ==

Will of Enna never meant to break the laws of the Necropolis, and he couldn't have imagined the consequences. But he soon begins to realise that neither the city nor its keeper are as grim as they seem - and that summer may come even to the world of the dead.

(Retelling of Hades and Persephone)

== Author's Notes ==

I like retellings of this myth that focus on an active choice by Persephone after the initial unwilling arrival in the underworld, so that's what I went with here. One of my favourite bits about writing this was putting in all the little references to the myth, like the three hounds' heads on the gate, and the rivers (Styx/Acheron and Lethe).

Plus bonus asides on gender essentialism!

This story is a major candidate for expansion - I would kind of like to write the entire "co-ed Magical Girl" series, and explain the backstory. Because yes, I did work out the entire reincarnation backstory that is barely mentioned in this one piece.
