La Nuit de la Samaïn

Les vacances de la Toussaint approchaient, et avec elles Halloween. C'est devenu une fête commerciale, l'occasion de vendre des bonbons et de faire la fête.
Autrefois, cette fête avait du sens, y compris ici, en terre de Bretagne.
On l'appelait Samaïn . C'était le nouvel an celte.
On célébrait le passage de la période lumineuse (les jours longs) à la période sombre (les jours plus courts).
Femme celte, je suis attachée à nos traditions. Cette origine d'Halloween non anglo-saxonne me parle.
Je cherchais un moyen de faire écrire les jeunes que j'encadre.
Je souhaitais leur donner l'occasion de partager leur imaginaire, et le sujet m'est apparu évident, vu l'époque.
Plutôt que de faire des acrostiches comme le Noël précédent, j'envisageai de les faire rêver autour du thème d'Halloween.
En fait je venais d'apprendre que jusqu'à la moitié du XXème siècle, dans les campagnes principalement, les bretons fêtaient encore, en ce 31 octobre, la Samaïn. (cf Nadine Cretin,)
À cet effet, ils déposaient sur la table de la cuisine, un pichet de boisson, des vivres (pâté, far, pain...), et remettaient une bûche dans l'âtre afin d'honorer les ancêtres, censés leur rendre visite pendant la nuit.
Je n'ai pas eu d'écrits d'adolescents sur le sujet.
Je n'ai pas pu mettre en œuvre le concours d'historiettes que j'avais envisagé. Il avait été jugé trop « tendancieux », trop « fantastique ».
Mais je me suis prise au jeu et j'ai laissé mon imagination vagabonder.

A Simple Dream [Yuuri X Lui] - Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V / Beyblade Burst
A simple dream, and poouufff, I give you a fresh one shot ^^. And if you don't like this idea that I write... I think the door lady is waiting for you ^^! (Without being too vulgar). It's a story/one shot composed of a rather particular ship, and of course, very unreal. Two respective antagonists of their anime. I know very well that many will not approve the idea. But we are all free to write what we want, right? Maybe later, after the publication, I could think that it was a really bad idea, very bad. But right now, I don't have that view yet. So just enjoy the story if you're interested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Un simple rêve, et pouff, je vous donne un one shot tout frais ^^. Et si vous n'aimez pas cette idée que j'écris... Je pense que madame la porte vous attend ^^! (Sans être trop vulgaire). C'est une histoire/one shot composé d'un navire assez particulier, et bien sûr, très irréel. Deux antagonistes respectifs de leur animé. Je sais très bien que beaucoup ne vont pas approuver l'idée. Mais nous sommes tous libre d'écrire ce que nous voulons, non ? Peut-être que plus tard, après la publication, je pourrais penser que c'était une idée vraiment nulle, très mauvaise. Mais en ce moment, je n'ai pas encore cette vision des choses. Alors profitez juste de l'histoire si vous êtes intéressé.Complete

But where would he go for the night? He had to find someone he could trust. Marinette wasn't expecting Chat Noir to show up on her balcony with red eyes filled with tears. Her first thought after seeing him was the akumatized version of him, Chat Blanc. She immediately brings him inside, making it her job to help him. She was not going to let her partner become her worst nightmare. He needed some place to feel safe? She would become that. It became an everyday thing. Chat Noir would visit Marinette every day, they would talk about their days as Chat tried to keep his as dense as possible to not reveal his identity. They would play video games and eat food from the bakery. But what happens when something happens to Marinette that makes her break? Marinette has no where to go so Chat decides to be that place.

Tell Me Why You Love Me
"Anyway, that piece of paper contains the name of this texting app. It's completely anonymous, so you can download it, make your account with no attachments to your personal life, and communicate with me outside our suits. I included my username on the paper, too, so you can add me once you're done." Her partner skimmed through the words on the paper and nodded his head. "Brilliant as always, M'lady. I'm surprised we didn't figure this out sooner within our superhero careers." "Yeah, it would've been nice to have this before, but hey, better late than never. Make sure not to have your phone screen on the messages if you're going to leave it somewhere. We don't want anyone reading our texts. Also, this is for emergencies only. No jokes or puns. I can only deal with you for so long." "I don't know if I can agree to that last one," he said. Now 22 and working full-time, Marinette and Adrien seem to be getting busier and busier, which means fewer opportunities to keep track of akumas and show up on time. With the idea of using a messaging app to communicate with each other without revealing their identities, their lives immediately grew to be easier... until it wasn't. **Fanfic has been transferred from Ao3.

She Kills (2016)
Fun and a bit of sex mixed with travels and introspection. That is "She Kills". This novel was supposed to be the sequel of "Abat-Jour", my novel published by Inknbeans in 2015, that was about four guys and a series of trips to Spain in the summer of 2001 to provide a slice of life of a generation, mixed with irony, surreal meetings and a good dose of introspection. For those (all of you guys, I guess!) who didn't read "Abat-Jour": the story starts from the end: Daniele, the main character, has just come home from the last journey. As he rests on his bed, he looks back on what happened in his life in the last few months, inspired by shadows and things in his room. What comes out, in the shape of this journey, is a search for answers to questions of an entire generation. The narrator, Daniele, takes the reader jumping forward and back in months and years, collecting emotions and memories with a musical trace of U2's songs, always present. Everything finds its own place, eventually, in the puzzle of Daniele's memory illuminated in his Abat-Jour.. "She Kills" is also a fiction novel with 58.000 words estimated. It's about what happened to them from 2001 to 2015. I could say there's a mix of fiction and a true story in both of them. They're full of irony and weird situations but they mainly represent a generation between what it was before and after a critical age (the attacks of 9/11 represent a big divide). They were thirty years old but not ready to become men yet. The main character has a lover and a love story that changes him a lot in both novels. In the first one the girl was Eva, a Spanish girl who seems to be more than a summer story. The novel shows how bad things can go when you don't wanna grow up. In the sequel, there's a German woman named Ele who will bring Lele almost to craziness. At the end, despite all the weird, dramatic and funny situations, Lele realizes that there's no more time to waste in silly relationships in the worst possible way.Complete
Lean on Us (LukaxAdrienxReader)
~Highest rank: #1 in mlb ~ -COMPLETED AS OF OCTOBER 5, 2022- (A/N: Please don't read this story if you're under 15, there is some content I'm not comfortable with younger audiences viewing. Thank you in advance! Also the characters are all 16-17 and this takes place after a much more drawn out version for season 1-3) (A/N 2: this started as a Luka x reader, so Adrien doesn't become a major character until much later in the story and is much more slow burn than the insta-love of (Y/N) and Luka) After Luka's painful pining experience over Marinette Dupain-Chang, he pretty much gives up on romance and priortizes being there for the ones he loves and putting their needs above his own. He begins to attract attention as the band Kitty Section picks up some major traction, leading him to feel the need to repress any hurt he's feeling himself. As this happens, (Y/N) transfers into Marinette's class upon being adopted by their uncle due to the sudden death of their parents. (Y/N) is still moving on and dealing with the repercussions of their mother and father's passing when Juleka introduces (Y/N) to Luka at their band rehearsal. They form a strong bond and become fast friends- and quickly become something more. Adrien was a good boyfriend. He listened to what Marinette said about Luka and tried to keep his distance. after a series of unfortunate events, he finds himself single and gets a second chance from (Y/N), much to Luka's dismay. What happens when this certain blond is thrown into the mix?
