Silent Steel
Metamia
- Caught Red Handed
This poem is about Xellos' human side. I know he's a Mazoku priest but
he was human once and I think a small part of him remains human. Occasionally, his
"conscience" as I like to think of it, rears its ugly head. That's probably part of the
reason why he helps the Slayers gang.

Dira
Harukami
- Powers of Heart and Soul
The Knight of Shabrinigido has been created, a piece of Shabrinigido is
beginning to break free, and it seems all Hell is literally going to break
loose. Now, this would be normal, if it wasn't that the Knight is Lina, the
piece of Shabrinigido is talking in her head, and maybe SHE'S going to be
the one to cause the end of the world. Plus the unlikeliest couples are
cropping up...
- Friendship
- The Nature of Friendship - YAOI
The group examines Xelloss's alledged friendship, and
Xelloss reminisces in a not-so-pleasant manner.
- Beyond Frienship - YAOI
Zel has given up on his cure, yeah. But now he's into
researching... other things. Namely, Xelloss. In doing so, he is forced to examine his
feelings for both the Mazoku and Amelia. Plot movement begins. Hurrah.
- Strains on Friendship - YAOI
Xelloss, in an attempt to discover Lina's true powers,
kidnaps one of her friends. Guess who? A new friend joins the group, a new enemy fights
them, and Zel gets laid. All in a day's work!
- Family
- Palace Life - some YAOI
Through mazoku machinations, they end up going off to visit
their families. Meanwhile, Amelia's family is up to it's old tricks, and Guntair has to make
a choice he'd rather avoid.
- Gathering No Moss - some YAOI
Nightmares abound. The spirit of Xelloss's dead brother
haunts Zel, forcing Xelloss to enter his mind. Zel's parents are a nightmare themselves.
Plus getting chased by mobs is another regular thing. Oh yeah, and another weirdo of a most
peculiar nature joins their group.
- Dead Giveaways - some YAOI
While visiting Gourry's family, the worst thing possible
happens; you'll have to read to find out what. Lina begins to learn to deal, although not
that well. Zel's out of it. Whoo-hoo! And they FINALLY reach the Koku no Tani.
- Foes
- Invisable Bindings - some YAOI and YURI
In which confusion as to who exactly are the GOOD GUYS HERE
reigns, Xelloss gets tortured (ooh, torture...), and Lina has to learn that sometimes you have
to just accept things. And, oh yeah, Xelloss ends up telling some people a couple of things.
But this IS Xelloss...
- Falling Down
Xelloss wants Lina, wants her badly. But unfortunately, he isn't to
sure of how far away this strong girl's breaking point is...
- P.S. Is Love Forever?
A collection of letters between 'friends', 5 years or so after the end
of Slayers TRY.
- Memories of a Bitch Queen
A sequence of completely stand-alone short stories from the point of
view of Beastmaster Xelas Metallium. They can be read out of order and are, in fact, being
WRITTEN out of order. The first one is rather dark, but not all of them are that bad.
- Awakening the Inner Huntress
This one is rather dark, but not all of them are this bad. ^_^
It's violent and contains a rape scene? Comprende? Anyway, onward.
In this 'series', Mazoku are born mainly physical and as their
power grows, so they grow older. It takes time for their power to mature, and usually when
they reach their maximum power, they barely grow older past it. This is why Xelas is so young
and relativeally powerless in it.

- Spellbound
"Following the footsteps of a rag doll dance, We are entranced,
Spellbound" - Spellbound by Siouxsie and the Banshees
- Take This Love Out Of Me
I took a walk today, wandering to a coffee shop and then a park to
write a little and on the way home I stopped at this used CD store called Imagine and picked
up a Siouxsie and the Banshees CD I hadn't been able to find elsewhere. ('Rapture' in case you
care) Anyhoo. I was sitting on my ass in front of the computer listening to the disk and
reading the lyrics. And singing off-key too, but I digress. The point of the story is that I
came to the last song on the disk and suddenly somebody opened the fridge door inside my brain
and the little light came on. Now, because I am a Xelloss lover (big ol' duh) lots of my
fanfics centre around him and I am sort of a romantic in my deepest heart because some of my
fave fics concern the Mazoku falling for somebody. My point is I was listening to this song
and I thought, "Gee, since Mazoku are weakened by happy emotions (as Amelia aptly
demonstrates) wouldn't the very act of falling in love be like suicide?" chibi Smashing
Pumpkins appear and start screeching 'Love is suiciiiiiiide!!!' then disappear. Then
again, I believe love always leads to heartache so it might all balance out.... But my point
is that that thought prompted the following fic! Oh, and I highly recommend the disk as it
kicks some serious ass.
- Trap
The self-proclaimed Yami no Miko here again folks, ready to bore you
with more Author's notes! Gee, that almost rhymed. This is yet another songfic, and it
explores one of my favourite subjects: Xelloss' romantic life. I was sitting around as I so
often am, taking a welcome respite from lugging boxes around and the like, while listening to
some of my favourite songs when I started to think about how many of my stories concern the
beginning of love. (Awwww... don't tell anyone. To this day the majority of my friends believe
I don't have a romantic bone in my body.) Anyhoo. Get to the point, Miss N, right? Okay. The
point it that I was thinking about the END of relationships. You know... when they start to
drag and get to be more of a hassle than they're worth. So I started to think... if you had
two immortal beings in a relationship together, wouldn't they get REALLY sick of each other?
Maybe I'm the only one who feels it's possible to get tired of a person due to the fact I am a
'cold heartless bitch' and all, but the idea intrigued me enough and paired with the lyrics of
a certain Cure song it made a pretty good songfic. Enjoy.

- The Path to Revenge
This is my first attempt at a dark fic, and I think I might have gone
overboard on some things. I dunno. Just to let you know, I was in a really bad mood when I
wrote this, and I'm still in a bit of a rotten mood, but I certainly feel better. ^^ Anyway,
if you're offended by blood, body parts flying, rape, or assault, do NOT read this. Like I
said, I think I went overboard. Comments and criticism is more than welcome, flames will be
trashed. Thanks.

- Sanctuary
This was a hard story for me to write. The purpose of this story was to
help me deal with my mind's own twisting of reality. Among other things it's been doing to
me, my mind has a habit of making me forget bad memories. This is helpful, until the regressed
memories return. shudders in honest fear But recently, my mind has taken upon
itself to do away with all my memories, even my good ones, which has been most inconvenient.
So, like Lian, I must learn to deal with the reality of the situation.

Theria and SephZero
- Slayers: The House of the Phantom
SephZero does a dark Halloween fic. Gotta love it. A nice compliment
to Jack's Nocturne.
- Pure Again
Alright, I take it back. Not all of my one-shots are
Lina/Zel. In fact, this one doesn't even have a romantic twist in it. It's one of my weirder
ones where I try to be all deep and profound and usually fail quite utterly.
- I Will Protect You
To be honest, I wrote this a long time ago (in April I think judging by
the file creation date) but SephZero deemed it too cliche so I never posted it up or anything.
And now, half a year later, I'm bored, looking for something other
my impending Fluid Dynamics midterm to occupy my mind and lo and behold I came across this old
thing. Feeling the need to feed the bias (what one-shot isn't Lina/Zel?), I decided to throw
this up as one of my 'Halloween' fics.

Well, all, these are OLD. Three poems written and never typed. Labeled
Hatred I II and III, I'm guessing you can tell who's speaking in them. The first one was
written sometime in '96, the second about a year ago, and the last a few months. I got some
help from Stri on II. There, now people can't yell at me for not sending these.
Glares at a certain someone who enjoys letting the people Stix
cares about seduce them
Anyways, flames and comments are always welcome, but please
bear in mind these are fairly old, considering 96 was four years ago and I'm only 15 as
is...And, uh, yeah, I'm gonna stop talking now....
- Strike
I think, personally, that the plot of this little jumble of words is
obvious. But if you don't understand, just E-mail me and I'll tell you the point.
- Curiosity ... - LEMON
The fic is pretty much nothing, but it gets a little
dark-ish....And it IS citrus content, so if you don't like that stuff, don't read it...

I wrote this while I was sick with a cold after finishing my last exam,

A strange little poem, darker than most of my stuff. From Filia's
perspective, but that's all I really know.
Lyla-chan
- I Will Free Them ...
Here's something Lyla-chan wrote when she wasn't exactly feeling
top-notch that day. It's a germ off Slayers Reflect, written from Lina Inversed's point of
view... although it doesn't really follow the original story per se (Lina Inversed KNOWS who
Xellos is in this, while in Reflect itself, she doesn't know that it is Xellos who is
"helping" her)... Anyhoo, I found it rather insightful, and for those of you who enjoyed
Reflect, this is worth a look. It's pretty short. ^_^

Ooh... dark fic... Dating abuse is something that sickens me, and I

Read at your own risk. Yaoi contents; erotic-grotesque.
Ravenrei
Stacy Parker
- Janus
Okay. This is a poem. I enjoy writing poetry. It's a bit dark; it's a
bit gory. So is the person I wrote this about. I'm not going to say who this is for, in the
hopes that it is obvious.
- The Dreaming Time
This is a Xelloss/Filia lemon.
- Ease
This is a Xelloss/Fila lemon-ish one shot, obviously, and I think it may
be a potential sequel to the previous lemon about those two I wrote.
- Go Not Gently - INDEX
"Lina was thrown back and up into the air, limp body given an eerie grace
as gravity deserted her, and Gourry tried to lunge and catch her. Her whole form began to glow
in that sickly purple shade that flew from murderous fingertips and then ...
She was ... gone."
Murasaki no Miko

A Xel/Lina songfic, with the song Everything You Want by Vertical
Horizon. A very dark fic, about Xelloss' love for Lina, which is not returned, and the mistake
he makes in trying to win her love the wrong way.
Windy
- Betrayal
This story is a piece of Xelloss' past, from the time right before and
during the War of the Monsters' Fall. Of course, all of this except for one tiny piece is
totally made up, but then ... that's why its called a fanfic, ne?
Lynne Stephens
- Bad Fred
This is a shortie about Xelloss, and a girl called Ann. Except Xelloss
isn't called Xelloss in this one, he's called Fred, or at least he calls himself Fred. I
simply wanted to use the title: Bad Fred legitimately. So I did. Ha.
Lyria Moonriver
- Through a Mirror, Darkly - YAOI LEMON
Valgaav gets more than he bargained for when a visit from Xelloss turns
into an exploration of the Trickster Priest's deepest desires. The title is taken from
Christian mystic's description of how one views God.

The past cannot be erased, and it's scars cannot be healed. The present

and at times frightening. But, the future holds endless possibilities, be they good or bad.
