Invoking Urania

Title: Thinking of Home
Fandom: Vision of Escaflowne
Rating: G
Genre: Drama/Romance
Words: 950
Notes/Warnings: End of series spoilers. The fic premise might be slightly AU, as it gives Hitomi some time in Fanelia at the end of the series. Done as part of a collab with khchick101 -- she provided a picture, and then I wrote the fic to go with it.
Summary: Even after the series, Hitomi can still have a bad day and need some comfort.

( After the war, Millerna offered space in Palas for her, but Hitomi elected to return with Van and Merle to Fanelia. )

Title: The Ear of the Queen
Fandom: Vision of Escaflowne/Curse of Chalion
Rating: G
Genre: Drama/Vignette
Words: 1300
Notes/Warnings: Crossover, written for intoabar. Slight spoilers for both.

Celena tends to think in terms of King, Queen, etc., even if the Chalionese (and Ibran) terms are Roya, Royina, etc. So you'll see the same character referred to as, say, Royina Iselle and Queen Iselle, depending on whether it is Celena's thoughts, or someone speaking. Also, the language reference is because Cruse of Chalion has an obvious Spanish influence, and the one time we hear someone from Escaflowne speaking without translation, it's the VA speaking Portuguese. Hence, I assume the two languages are deceptively similar.

I don't know how intelligible this will be to people who only know one fandom, but I hope you'll give it a chance. (I now want to write Millerna and Iselle meeting, though.)
Summary: A tag-along on an overseas trade mission, Celena has an early morning conversation with Lady Beatriz on the nature of Queen Sovereigns.

( It was said that travel broadened the mind; Celena found it just introduced her to new people that needed a iced drink dropped down their backsides.  )
