Master List of Elizabeth Culmer's Fanfiction: Angel Sanctuary---------------------------------------------
Organization: This list is arranged first by associated story cycles and then by date. Word counts and writing dates are approximations.
Content/Warning Policy: 1) I am not consistent about warnings! I use them when I remember, for a few relatively broad categories of potentially problematic content, but if something is off-page, non-explicit, or generally backgrounded, I probably won't think to note it in the metadata.
2) The things I try to warn for are explicit sex, rape, murder, torture, cannibalism, incest, depression/suicide, familial dysfunction, and occasionally also societal dysfunction (aka dystopia). Sometimes I just slap a general content warning on all my fic for a given fandom and don't label each individual fic. I also don't generally warn for violence, unless the violence in a fic is dramatically out-of-step with the violence in its source canon.
3) I don't use any content rating system unless I'm posting to a site or community that requires or encourages ratings, because I find movie-style ratings counter-intuitive when applied to written fiction, and not particularly useful for anything other than denoting the presence of explicit sex, which I already note in the metadata.
SERIES-SPECIFIC GENERAL CONTENT WARNING: any
Angel Sanctuary fanfiction is going to trip a lot of people's squick or discomfort buttons, since the main romantic pairing (Setsuna and Sara) is
incestuous. (So are a lot of the subtextual pairings, and even the non-incestuous ones tend to be seriously fucked-up.) Furthermore, the source manga takes a highly negative and/or Gnostic view of Christian ideas about God and heaven. In other words, there are potential
religious issues. But if you can get past those qualifications and you don't mind handwaving plot holes (some of which, if I am being honest, you could drive a truck through), it's an emotionally gripping series that raises interesting questions about morality, gender, and the nature of love and other obsessions.
Also, the artwork is very pretty. *evil grin*
Anyway, please note that
I will not specifically warn for incest or religious issues, since
Angel Sanctuary is built on those two potential squicks. Even if they're not at the forefront of any given story, they're often lurking implicitly in the backstory, the subtler shades of characterization, or the world-building. If those are deal-breakers for you, click away from this page now. Okay? Good.
Quality Rating System: I've marked my favorite stories with asterisks, on a scale of 1 to 4. The more asterisks, the more I like the story. This doesn't necessarily mean that stories without asterisks are bad, just that I don't like them
as much. Also, I am not claiming to be an arbiter of taste; you may love stories I dislike, and vice versa. I am just providing a heads-up about the ones that
I think are best written and/or most interesting.
Notes: It's hard for me to rate my
Angel Sanctuary fanfiction, since most of it is incomplete and it all interlocks. But I am very fond of some parts of "The Transient and the Eternal" so far, and I think "Ephemera" is going to kick ass when it's finished.
Where To Read: As always, if an AO3 version exists, it is definitive. FF.net versions are definitive in the absence of an AO3 version. Journal versions are the equivalent of beta drafts, though the shorter and/or fragmentary works may never be posted anywhere else.

Everything I've written for
Angel Sanctuary falls into one continuity sequence. I think that's because it takes so much intellectual effort to handwave and reconcile the manga's plot holes and shaky world-building that I didn't have any energy left to try deliberate AUs.
My
Angel Sanctuary fanfiction is primarily an attempt to make sense of canon, and secondarily an exploration of the complicated relationships among three of the main characters: Mudo Setsuna (Alexiel), Mudo Sara (Jibril), and Kira Sakuya (Nanatsusaya/Lucifer). I'm also writing about Belial, but that's mostly an exercise in world-building and gender issues, so I'd include it in 'making sense of canon.' *grin*
