Important Notes for Artists:
1. If you did not register and receive a confirmation, you are not participating in this event! Submitting a bid form does not qualify you to participate. If you think this may be you and you registered with different information: contact the admin.
2. If you have special requests or questions about the event, contact the admin directly! Do not assume that the notes section on your bid form is acceptable. It is your responsibility to help make the event accessible to you!
A note: Demanding changes to the rules because you did not read them is the easiest way to get blacklisted! Don’t be like some of our past participants and try it: just ask and we’ll try to work out a solution that’s fair for everyone.
3. Email is the proper way to contact the admin for this event. While we are posting on tumblr, email provides the admin practically 24/7 access and a record of correspondence in case of emergency situations.
Bid forms are due tonight at 11:59pm! If you haven’t yet completed one, don’t let your favorite story get snatched up! We’ve got some great ones this year!

Summary:
That Yusuke would be tasked with fighting a dragon only to make the decision to save it had never once crossed his mind since becoming a god.

Summary:
“Kurama wished he was exaggerating the similarities between the two, but as far as his eyes could tell, it seemed like his dead partner had walked straight out of his final memories and into his stepfather’s company…’
Time had not favored Kurama’s stepfather’s company and they were in need of a business partner to keep it afloat or buy him out. During their first meeting, Kurama’s stepfather had noticed that his potential partner had found Kurama’s presentation to be…of particular interest.  And with their company in dire straits, now was not the time for Kurama to be distracted by the impossible possibility that Kuronue was alive once more.”

Genre: Romance, AU, Fluff, Friendship, Family, Drama
Rating: Teen and Up
Warnings: Canon typical language, light angst to fluff
Summary:
“There was a reverberation in the heat and the air, the kind that suffocates like a pulse right before it’s snuffed out. The power down before powering up, the breath held in the night, like a puff of life. The moment right before movement, that second where fear could paralyze: that was what he lived for. The bass dropped, and he was gone.”
A Step Up AU in which Hiei’s life is turned upside down by dancers Yusuke and Kuwabara, underground DJ (Alias) Kurama, and the sister he thought had been taken far, far away: ballerina Yukina.

Summary:
“He couldn’t exactly tell her the truth, which was basically that he hated Daisuke for all of time because he had successfully passed a note to Keiko, whom he had suddenly recognized as the girl of his dreams, and that all these realizations came from the fact that Keiko had, without warning, evolved in her taste in lingerie, which he was very eager to question but didn’t have the balls to ask about just yet.”
Bonus Features: This is a hopefully light-hearted story that tries to examine the Yusuke/Keiko relationship as they take first steps toward adulthood. Yusuke cannot handle it.

Rating: Teen and Up
Warnings: Canon-typical language, background minor character death, mention of canonical character death
Summary:
Five years after the passing of Genkai, Yukina receives word from Botan of another loss, though this one is more unexpected. Rui, the koorime who raised her—and who flung her brother from the cliffs of Hyouga to almost certain death—has died. Compelled by a strangely human need for closure, Yukina decides to return to her homeland one final time to pay her respects, but the journey will not be easy, and there is no guarantee of her return. With support from her Human World friends, she prepares to set out for Demon World and Hyouga itself expecting to be the only one burdened by things unresolved, but she is in for a surprise when Hiei declares that he will accompany her. Time and unspoken understanding have not brought Yukina much closer to him, a fact that she both regrets and resents, but perhaps, of all those who could have joined her, Hiei will turn out to be the one she needs most.
Bonus Features: The summary may sound cheesy, but the fic is cheesier still. Fair warning.
8.

M/M
Featured Characters: Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hokushin, Mukuro
Genre: Friendship, Romance, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Drama
Rating: Mature, Explicit
Warnings: Rape mention, non-con mention, sexual situations, violence, blood, gore, BL, profanity, mature content, graphic depictions of violence
Summary:
Yusuke hasn’t seen Hiei in two years. Until one day he shows up on his doorstep bloody and unimpressed. The fire demon is caught up in a world of trouble, accused of treason and the king of Makai after his head. He turns to Yusuke, the only person he knows without a doubt that he can trust. Now, it’s up to Yusuke to crack the fire demon’s icy exterior and learn the truth. Hiei’s very life depends on it.
9.

Genre: Friendship, Romance, Angst
Rating: Teen and Up, Mature
Warnings: Internalized homophobia, emotional abuse, mind games, some non-explicit mentions of sexual processes
Summary:
He knew he was special the moment that they met, but he would never admit it. To him, Itsuki was only a friend, and he was the upstanding defender of justice with no flaws in sight. But this was the beginning of the end, as he himself had some flaws that only Itsuki was perceptive enough to see.
Bonus Features: Takes place in 1984. Heavy on video games.
