The generic term I'm using for all the stories set in Tsyllaes, the Yrae Chronicles. The ones listed here are the longer stories, several chapters long. All the minifics, usually less than a thousand words, can be found here.
dated~ November 2006
word count~ 50 005
chapters~ 30
plot~ An assassin known as the Golden Kris, an ongoing war with Haysyd and the ever-tightening grip of Queen Risa's hand make life in the Kazinian state of Suza less than comfortable for its residents, but Rensali remains optimistic that some time, his life will finally settle down.
notes~ My story for NaNoWriMo 2006. I even won, wai! =D 50k in a month, booyeah. Anyway, yeah. Decided to focus the story on Kazin, just cos very, very little of what I'd written previously did, unless it was being told from the perspective of the Raykinians. Kazin is fun =D Completely self-contained, so you don't have to know anything about Tsyllaes before you start. I just have a thing for assassins X)

cover~ The Riders of the King's Own
chapters~ 23
plot~ The King's Own, Raykin's fifteen best warriors, go on a mission to Silrona in Kazin. Specifically, this is their most recent one, and Nimay's first as their General.
notes~ Written partly as a gift to my friends when I went to England for four months in 2005, and partly to get a handle on the characters who make up the King's Own. Definitely not self-contained; you should at least know who Nimay and Nolryn are, and what the Own is, before reading. The Own riders themselves... I didn't even know them when I started writing. Each week is told from the perspective of a different Own rider, so the whole mission is chronicled from mission brief to mission accomplished. I love my bois, even though this fic is getting on a bit now.

cover~ Blade Archer
chapters~ 16 incomplete
plot~ Kael, a boy living in Ni-Yana's seedy underbelly south of the Main Road, signs up for army training as a blade archer.
notes~ My first attempt at a NaNo. I was going well until about halfway through the month, then stuff happened that distracted me from the fic and once November was over, the urge to finish it died. Poor Kael. Still, it's the only full-length story for the Yrae Chronicles that I haven't finished (save SH itself, of course), so I'm not going too badly, really. Designed to be self-contained, so not a bad introduction to life in Ni-Yana, if nothing else. It is a few years old, tho >>

plot~ Raqif, from the tiny northern-Raykinian village of Ni-Horia, goes off in search of the yrae.
notes~ Written for a competition at the end of year 12, but I finished it a few days too late to actually send it off. Never mind. It was a crap story anyway XP I can't believe this kind of writing got me a Merit/20 for year 12 English oO It has its moments, I guess, but ugh.
This is the old stuff. The really old, really crap stuff. Honestly, nobody's forcing you to read this, but I'm putting it here anyway for the morbidly curious. It would all be burried in the deepest, darkest recesses of the minifics LiveJournal, but I hadn't invented it yet, so unfortunately they must remain here D:
title~ Opposites but exactly the same
dated~ 30 January 2003
notes~ The first thing I ever wrote about the girls, when all that I knew about them is what you see on the page, hence a lot~ of things have changed since, so that there's really nowhere it fits into the chronology of things. Wow~ Nimay used to be General of the whole freaking ARMY, not just the King's Own =0
title~ Assassin
dated~ 12 April 2003
notes~ Sort of an introductory thing for Nimay, back when her main occupation seemed to be an assassin. Yeah~ that really takes a back seat now XD
title~ Dream
dated~ 7 July 2003
notes~ Nimay musing about being an assassin. Aww, diddums.
title~ Cherished Daughter, Beloved Husband
dated~ 19 August 2003
notes~ Random idea with random characters. I swear I'm not morbid, really >>;
title~ The Price of Freedom
dated~ 7 October 2003
notes~ WOO ANGST! Haela's the second person (first was Yan, of course) to have found an yrae stone. Good on 'er. This was written for school timed assignment thing. What you see here is actually the first draft. I lost the one I actually sent off to SSABSA, which is unfortunate because I actually put a lot of work into that. Meh, it probably sucks now, anyway XD;
title~ See the Sun
dated~ 15 January 2004
notes~ From back when Yan ruled Raykin. Erm... the palace shouldn't really be that well-developped yet. They've only been a kingdom for 25 years oO
title~ Healing (Friends only, cos it sucks.)
dated~ 3 March 2004
notes~ First ever writing with Nol in it, allegedly. MY GOD IT SUCKS. Nol has changed so very much since then. Hoi.

dated~ 18 April 2004

title~ Obsession
dated~ 14 May 2004

notes~ Sequal to See the Sun.
title~ You Won't be Mine
dated~ 14 June 2004
notes~ First public writing of Prince Nolryn, wai =D I loved this so much when I wrote it. It does show a very angry Nol, though he has reason to be. Nimay's just turned down his proposal, yasee.
title~ Writer's Block
dated~ 15 September 2004
notes~ In an attempt to write more about Yamin, this appeared. Poor Yamin.
title~ Copycat
