I put in the addresses to make life easier for myself at update time.
Don't be fooled. If it says it isn't up, it isn't.

Most pairings on this page are m/m. You shouldn't be here if that's offensive.
I'll warn where warning's needed, so read before you click, please.
Flamers are used to light my oil-burner, and whiners to put it out.

STORIES

One-Offs

* New! *
Lies, Damn Lies, and Politics
In which Xel's metaphors sneak into female territory.
(drabble)

Ode to a Wielded Mace
by Xellos

A Prodigal Man
Love's bitch, on the Lightbearer. Or, why Gourry drives Xellos crazy.
Revised 5/5/05

Eulogy
Short, philosophical, and a little bit dark.
Even the most irreverant of demons knows how to mourn.

Sundered
Yaoi, dense, and dark. AU character history.
Sooner or later, a damaged mind will heal itself.

Ruminations of a Rising Star
Dark het. Dark, twisted het. And Amelia's the narrator.
The general and the princess in formal conversation. The Metalliums wish to make a point.
(No princesses were traumatized in the making of this fic)
Revised 5/5/05

Any Port
WAFF with humor. On ffnet under another name.
A cabinfic with witty banter, wherein bizzare(ly polite) torments are visited on a confused chimera.
Revised 5/5/05

The Priestly Rover Het, a songfic, and it's X/A. I would be ashamed of myself, except that I knew it was nonsense at the time. Humor/parody.
An alternative to Z/A, set to 'The Whistling Gypsy.'

Multi-Parters

fyi, these tend to be snappier and more relaxed than the shorts

Timepiece
Humor, straight-up.
Ever have one of Those Mornings? Xellos has them all the time. Just think of it as the sad duty of middle management.
Chapter One: Alarm Clock
Chapter Two: Chores and Breakfast
Chapter Three: Coffee...
Chapter Four: ...and Conversation
The Calm Before (illustration)

Demon Sea
We prefers our Xellii formerly human, thankee, and we likes our Gourries substantial.
Just a hint of s-a. Chapter One: Salt in the air
Chapter Two: Worth a shot
Chapter Three: Rules of the game
Chapter Four: I've always liked trees

Holiday
WIP; last updated 10/29/04
Oranges, with the occasional whiff of lime. Angst, humor, romance, drama.
AU. Fusion with the Grant/Hepburn movie of the same name. Multiple pairings.
Is Zel worthy of marrying into the legions of eeeeeevil? But that's just the easy question...
Illustrated!

Blind Glory Arc

These stories are all in the same universe, but they're all self contained, and can be read independantly.
Warning: this arc contains life.
And has its own page.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Before the wars, before the fall.
A city between the gods.
Two priests, in love with life.
[Not up yet]

Kowai Kare Da
Memory can be really painful on the wrong side of the end of the world. Another look at the librarian.
[Illustrated, complete, and completely posted]

Second chances aren't unusual. The hard part is taking them.
[Completed, illustrated, and posting apace]

One-offs

* New! *
Happy birthday '06, Xellas M!
Foooooooor she's a wicked bad master

A witch no one can deny!

Dancer
Gratuitous Xellos cuteness.

Caveat
A friendly warning.
Metalliums

MazOTP
My Xellos pairing flag!

Passion's Slave
Slayers is yaoi-free only because everyone is unrequited.
In this pic, anyway. Sheep eyes enclosed.

Female Solidarity
A little toon set right after Next 17. Some girls are yaoi fans--and some are just selfish.

Voodoo
Somebody's had a little too much coffee.

Worship
Zelgadis and his One True Love.

The Boys
Why can't we all just get along?

Role Reversal

Of COURSE Dragons are Good for Something!
The lineart here is pretty old, but I still like the concept.

Backstage
This series was created by the incomparable Candy Palmer. I just colored it.
Ms. Inverse
Miss Tesla-Sailoon
Mr. Gou. Gabriev
Xel Metallium
Zel G.

Brand New Key
The song is by an artist named Melanie, and is annoying and addictive in exactly the same cheerful way that Xellos and root beer are.
Sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you got something I need
But...

Cards I've made
Let the littlest thing carry you away
Spend your birthday doing whatever you like best

Things I thought were fun or otherwise worth noting the fourth or fifth time I watched the series. So, yes, many of the more obvious things have been overlooked. If you notice something I should add, tell me about it!
