[Fic] "Connections" -- original, Ekanu

So I thought I ought to write something, went to 15minuteficlets, and got inspired to finally do something useful with a character and song that have been kicking around in my head since I was... gosh, twelve? A long time, anyway.

What you need to know: Ekanu comes from a semi-nomadic people who live way up north, sort of like the Inuit. She went south and ended up studying music and languages, for reasons much too complicated to explain here. Denifar is a fellow student, though he's a mechanist (engineer) rather than a musician.

Really, this took longer than 15 minutes, but we'll keep that a secret, all right? :-)

( Connections )

And yes, for those who may be curious, I actually have written out the entire song in English and am slowly translating it into Arhadikim, which is a language I have been inventing off and on for nearly five years now. It's the only one of my imaginary languages that I'm at all serious about; the others just get a couple grammatical rules and about ten words if they're lucky. This one actually has a writing system, extensive grammatical structure (particularly irritating as it's not always compatible with Indo-European patterns), and long word lists. Someday I may even be able to write a dictionary...

Classes start tomorrow. I'm going to go panic quietly in the corner now.

[Fic] "Adrenaline Rush" -- Ranma 1/2

Eh, well, I'm avoiding my panicky thoughts about facing Prof. Gilgen tomorrow, whose class I dropped out of when I had my tailspin and took a medical leave.

This one's a Ranma 1/2 character study. (Cross-posted here on Fanfiction.net.)
