Title: Confessions
Fandom: Ace Attorney
Characters: Edgeworth, Larry
Summary: Larry (Laurice) Butz has something of a confession, as well as need for advice, and turns to Miles Edgeworth for help
Notes: Written for the following Kink Meme prompt:

I've read some wonderful fics featuring some of the male cast (Miles, Klavier, Kristoph...) being actually female-to-male transgenders. And when I thought about it, one character came to my mind...

Larry. What if the most loveable (yet so hopelessly unloved) man was once a girl/woman? Perhaps that's why he keeps himself as manly as he is? Perhaps that's why the type of women he's after dump him one after another? Perhaps there's something deep about Larry after all? (...or perhaps he's just as clueless about everything as he seems to be)

Something general, or something. Drunk or not-so-drunk Larry slips/tells the truth to Edgeworth who knew young Larry for such a short period of time that he didn't know/realize and thus has been clueless about it all this time? (Or Phoenix, but I think Edgeworth's more logical choice...)

tl;dr: I'd just like to see something serious and/or sad with Larry who has once been a girl and still gets dumped for being what he really is.

Looking at media and my own writing, I'm not sure if I know how to write a strong female character without her turning out to be some sort of Mary Sue. And most of my characters I've made for roleplaying games have basically been "geeky bard with all kinds of knowledges" - something which I love to play, but perhaps it is time to branch out. Thus I've decided to work on creating characters who could fit into a roleplaying game, probably focusing on D&D's Greyhawk (though not necessarily D&D rules; I'm also quite fond of GURPS). In the style of theme community challenges, I will write up tables and then write something that hopefully will give a sense of a character for each prompt. I'm not going to worry about creating all the details and game rules for the purpose of this challenge; I can worry about that at another time if and when I choose to do so.

Without further ado, here is my first chart:

Celestial Phenomena

01.	moon	02.	sun	03.	stars	04.	orbit	05.	comet
06.	nebula	07.	black hole	08.	meteor	09.	constellation	10.	planet

Title: Prince of Sheep
Notes: I was going through my old fic files and came across this piece, half-completed for a challenge I'd discovered at fic_on_demand. I decided to finish and post this there, and cross-post it here as well.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not Rowling or anyone affiliated with her in any legal or official way. I am making no money from this.

I fear that even now those who record our lives and tell our tales neglect poor Helga. Salazar is, of course, the ideal of a Pureblood from a great and noble family, and Godric is brash and exciting enough to capture many imaginations. I have even heard my own name mentioned from time to time, along with the idea that somehow I am (forgive my for my seeming immodesty, but I report this only in the interest of telling a full and honest account) the most brilliant witch who existed. But never have I heard Helga mentioned, save in passing, as one of us.

And yet, without Helga, none of what we built – none of Hogwarts – would be at all possible. While she may not be as bold as Godric, as rich and well-connected as Salazar, or share my degree of knowledge, Helga has truly been the backbone of our quartet. No task has ever been too tedious, too menial, too distasteful for our Helga, and many time when the rest of us were resting she was laboring. Helga alone has shown the necessary patience to deal with Godric and Salazar when they begin to argue.

Nor do those scribes recognize Helga's own unique brand of wisdom and insight. While I am more adept at manipulation of magical energies than she, she is the one who sees hidden depths in even the most seemingly mediocre of students and coaxes them to become more than any of the rest of us thought possible. My students will be the ones who formulate strategy, Godric's the ones who do great deeds, but Helga's will be the glue that holds Hogwarts together, and that fills all the places the others will not. On Salazar's students I withhold my judgment, for they are not as well known to me. They tend to keep to themselves, but I do know that he favors only those he considers to be of the purest blood, and argues fervently against the inclusion of students without at least one wizard parent's influence in his or her life. This is the issue on which he and Godric are most passionately divided, and were it not for Helga's mastery of diplomacy, particularly with Godric and Salazar, I fear that this conflict may tear apart our friendships, and even the school which we have labored so intensively to create.

This journal will be, probably entirely but certainly mostly, friends-only. It's a writing journal. Most of the things here will be drafts, many of them will go no further than this journal. Still, everything here belongs to me - which is why this journal is friends-locked.

For those of you with access, I welcome constructive criticism, comments, suggestions, whatever you like.

I hope you enjoy!

Or at least don't suffer too much....
