Invoking Urania

Title: Shadows on the Ground (Chapter 3)
Fandom: Slayers
Rating: PG
Genre: Mystery/Action
Words: 49,000 total (8,000 this chapter)
Notes/Warnings: A sequel to The Sun, Half Covered. Story may have a Zel/Amelia bias, but I think it can be read as friendship.
Summary: Amelia and Zel visit a foreign country to seek out a conspiracy against Saillune. Meanwhile, Lina and Gourry are hired to track down a stolen manuscript, one that may be one of Rezo the Red Priest's. These two plots cross unexpectedly, causing trouble that could lead to war.

Title: The Sun, Half Covered (Chapter 5)
Fandom: Slayers
Rating: PG
Genre: Mystery/Action
Words: 23,000 total (2,200 this chapter)
Notes/Warnings: Oh, boy. I started this ages ago. It might be older than my grad school career. I finally finished it for this year's casestory. Art is by sholio. Beta work done by yuuo. Story may have a Zel/Amelia bias, but I think it can be read as friendship.
Summary: Zelgadis's attempts to settle down are not working well. When Amelia asks him to accompany him to the southern frontier of Saillune to investigate reports of sabotage, it certainly sounds like a breath of fresh air. What he finds is a mess of politics and bigotry, and Amelia's attempts to help are hit or miss... and starting to drive Zel nuts. The two of them must work together to find the saboteur, and hope the discovery doesn't touch off a riot in a town divided.

Title: An Unexpected Facet
Fandom: Slayers
Rating: PG
Genre: Romance/Drama
Words: 3400
Notes/Warnings: Zel/Amelia and past Zel/Miwan. Written for a contest over on ameliazellove. The actual prompt is 'what if Miwan had been female?', but I asked to write 'what if Amelia really had something to be jealous about?'. I'm pleased this didn't turn into a Very Special Slayers Episode regarding bisexuality. yuuo gave this a look-over to make sure I got the flow and pacing right.
Summary: Coming back from Taforashia, Zel and Amelia run into Miwan, who surprises Amelia with an unexpected connection to Mister Zelgadis.
