The past couple of days I started feeling very nostalgic for my old-school fandoms.

Like, yesterday I was wondering if in the two? three? years since I've been out of Saiyuki, has anyone written any new Yaone het?

And also, I was reminiscing about the days prior to Avatar's finale and the casting!fail of the movie, when Suki was climbing up walls and my love for Zutara burned like a fiery heart.

Thank you! I'm the reality of my graduation is slowly hitting me, and I'm getting quite giddy about it.

Gojyo het in the last year or so -- a little Gojyo/Yaone, and a couple of different amazing, heartwrenching Gojyo/Kanan pieces. (Also a cracktastic-sounding but remarkably good AU Sanzo/Lirin, believe it or not!)

Would you happen to have links to these? Because I remember how precious and awesome good Goyjo het is, and some cracky Lirin/Sanzo may be just what the doctor ordered.

And I'll be sure to check out snap's journal and springkink.

Hmmm, a couple of these haven't been reposted outside the original giftfic comms yet, looks like...

Things We Can't Untie (http://sharpeslass.livejournal.com/tag/fanfiction:saiyuki:sanzo/lirin) Sanzo/Lirin, AU in late-1970s Ireland -- there's a little bit of 585 around the edges of this one, but mostly off-camera. While there's a fair bit of humor given the personalities of the characters involved, there's also some fairly serious stuff going on behind the crackiness of the main pairing.

Sorrow Floats (http://despina-moon.livejournal.com/tag/sorrow%20floats) -- AMAZING epic Gojyo/Kanan, NOT AU -- I love the characterization in this one, it's one of the best portrayals I've seen of a Kanan who lives up to Hakkai's reminiscing of her fearlessness. There's no weak-and-weepy meekness here, this is a fierce, strong-minded Kanan who clearly has a lot more in common with her twin than just looks. There's a little bit of 585 in the present-day framing, but it doesn't go into anything more explicit on-screen than kisses and if you skip the prologue and epilogue you can avoid even that if need be.

Fundamental Difference (http://community.livejournal.com/valentine_smut/44164.html) -- locked to [livejournal.com profile] valentine_smut, a really nice take-charge Yaone-POV Gojyo/Yaone. [livejournal.com profile] jedishampoo also has a few other very nice Saiyuki het pieces here (http://jedishampoo.livejournal.com/tag/fanfiction:%20saiyuki:%20het).

Good Intentions (http://community.livejournal.com/valentine_smut/36674.html) -- heartbreakingly poignant Gojyo/Kanan, also locked to [livejournal.com profile] valentine_smut.

Pffft ... I just read "Fundamental Differences" when jedishampoo reposted it on her LJ and rushed right over here, only to discover you'd beaten me to it!
