So, having inflicted zombies on Valdemar in Fallout, I ended up writing this little fic, which follows one of the only Companions left in Haven. Great time to have your Call hit you, right?

And this is the last one-shot for now! (Until I finish more of them, of course. ;P)



Title: Pulse
Fandom: Heralds of Valdemar
Author: senashenta
Rating: T
Genre: Fantasy, Tragedy, Horror
Characters: Veck Simms, Companion Arles, Companion Razzie, Companion Felicity, Rachel Hall, Companion Sham, Thorn Tillman
Disclaimer: Valdemar and concepts belong to Mercedes Lackey; lyrics are to "Do What You Have To Do" by Sarah McLaughlin; original characters and this fic belong to their author.
Summary: Valdemar is in the grip of a terrible plague that raises the dead, and into this apocalypse comes the Companion Arles' Call. Now he must brave the horrors of the new world alone in the hopes of reaching his Chosen and bringing him back to the relative safety of Haven: preferably while they are both still alive. (A Fallout side-story.)

Zombieverse!Valdemar is fun to write in. :3

Finally, we're getting to the new fics! Haha, so many older ones to post first. ^^;

I've been so overly productive lately. It's nice, but means I have TONS of stuff to post here and considering I'm moving in two weeks, not much time to do so. -.-; But if I post one or two things each day or so I'll hopefully get caught up. HOPEFULLY.



Title: SHINE
Fandom: Heralds of Valdemar
Author: senashenta
Rating: K+

Characters: Marley Yearwood, Companion Reece, Companion Fancy
Disclaimer: Valdemar and concepts belong to Mercedes Lackey; lyrics are to "SHINE" from the Hellsing anime; original characters and this fic belong to their author.
Summary: He ignores his Calling, pushes aside his right to Choose, lives a life of solitude, longing and loneliness without his rightful Chosen. The others don't understand; they could NEVER understand. They all ask him why why whywhyWHY, but he can't sufficiently explain. He has his reasons and they are his own.

This fic was written in response to a songfic challenge Firefox posted over at Stealing Hearts way-back-when. She posted the lyrics to three songs and challenged people to write fics from them. I chose "My Immortal" by Evanescence and this is what I ended up with when I was finished.



Title: All Of Me
Fandom: Heralds of Valdemar

Summary: A shattered lifebond leaves a Herald just as broken, his sanity lost along with his love. Only his Companion remains, lingering, grieving, hurting, unable to help and yet unable to move on...

One of many first-person POV fics I've written. This one was a little harder to get my head around than usual, though I don't know exactly why.

I'm halfway through writing the sequel to this, which is called Shatter Point. It'll get posted when it's finished. ♥



Title: Remember Me
Fandom: Heralds of Valdemar
Author: senashenta

Disclaimer: Valdemar and concepts belong to Mercedes Lackey; lyrics are to "Taking Over Me" by Evanescence; this fic and original characters belong to their author.
Summary: He has been Seeing Her for most of his life, and every time She appears it tears his soul in two. Now, finally, on the cusp of being completely broken inside, Nori finally meets the One who has plagued his life and toyed with his heart since he was small.

The sequel to Through The Rain. I always plan sequels/prequels, but I rarely actually get them written. In this case it was one of those By Popular Demand things. Anyway, From The Ashes turned out pretty good, too, all things considered. And it's to another Martina McBride song, so it matches the other one~ ♥



Title: From The Ashes
Fandom: Heralds of Valdemar
Author: senashenta
Rating: T
Genre: Fantasy, Angst
Characters: Lieu Renata, Companion Reyen, Grove Born Stallion Gwydion
Disclaimer: Valdemar and concepts belong to Mercedes Lackey; lyrics are to "From The Ashes" by Martina McBride; this fic and original characters belong to their author.
Summary: Twelve years have passed, and Reyen still grieves for Willow... but now someone new has come into her life, and she won't make the same mistake twice. (Sequel to Through The Rain.)

This fic was my very first Valdemar songfic. It's based around two characters from the old Valdemar Calling RPG that I played in for a while; my Grove Born stallion, Gwydion, and Saet Bronworth, who belongs to Firefox. Saet was hilarious as Monarch's Own because of her attitude problem and love of sharp, pointy things. Maybe some day I'll post some exerts from that rp here. ♥



Title: Wonderful Journey
Fandom: Heralds of Valdemar
Author: senashenta
Rating: K
Genre: Fantasy
Characters: Herald Saet Bronworth & Grove Born stallion Gwydion
Disclaimer: Valdemar and concepts belong to Mercedes Lackey; Saet Bronworth belongs to Firefox"; lyrics are to "Wonderful Journey by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis; this fic and other original characters belong to their author.
Summary: At the edge of a Starfield, the Grove Born stallion and his Chosen say their goodbyes. For the Herald, life is over-- for the stallion, a new one is just beginning.

I downloaded Red's "Until We Have Faces" album a few days back. This was a big mistake. XD;;

Pretty much every song in the album inspired a songfic in my mind. >>; By the time I was finished listening to it all the way through I had a whole set of fics, which will actually work out alright since I had a set of characters who've been knocking around in my head for a while that I wanted to work with anyway. Haha.

So a while back I started up Silver And Sapphire, which was a Valdemar RPG based on LJ. I worked my butt off on getting it set up, and then when I opened it up for apps... I got a grand total of one. (♥ for Sethi on that one! lol.)

Basically, other than that one app, I had five of my own characters worked out for it (Magic, Piper, Rift, Metty Cox and of course my own personal Grove Born Stallion, Gwydion.) I really, really liked these characters, so I wanted to use them for something outside of the flop of an RP.

I managed to notch Rift into Outlander, but the others (other than Gwydion) were proving to be a little more difficult. Then Red came along! 8D And now I have a set of four songfics (+ one other that's tentatively set to a Cher song) introducing Magic, Piper and Metty as well as a few others: Magic's Chosen, Singe Wells; Piper's Chosen, Kylla Tucker; Gwydion's (current) Chosen, Metty Cox, as well as Ripa and his Chosen, Shiloa Kendrick.)

Currently I'm about halfway through writing Ripa's Hymn, introducing Ripa and Shiloa. They're the ones who have the second fic that's (tentatively) set to a Cher song, which will be titled Shiloa's Song.

Then the other one that I've started working on is titled Landslide, and is the one introducing Magic and Singe. I vaguely intend for Magic and Singe to be the main characters in this core group of friends, but who knows what'll end up happening, considering how my brain works, right? Heh.

Anyway~
