Ordinary Miracles
A Trinity Blood Fan Fiction
by Darth Stitch

DISCLAIMER: Trinity Blood was created by Yoshida Sunao (R.I.P.) and is now an anime directed by Tomohiro Hirata and produced by the studio GONZO. I’m just a poor schmuck who wanted to see more romance amongst the all the high adventure, action and intrigue. Yes, the title IS taken from the song “Ordinary Miracles” from the film Charlotte’s Web. However, there aren’t any talking pigs and wise spiders in this fic. Heh.

I made a mistake earlier and put up the lyrics for another, different song that incidentally had the same title! Barbara Streisand originally sung this one and I ended up liking the lyrics, so I’m letting them remain. Now I’ve added the correct lyrics from the Sarah McLachlan song as well in this edited version.

AUTHOR’S WARNINGS: Trinity Blood is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the Roman Catholic Church/the Vatican is portrayed as a military power as well as a spiritual one. The series also strongly implies major and controversial changes in the Church, such as women being bishops and cardinals as well as romantic relationships and quite possibly marriage between members of the clergy. If this disturbs you, do not read any further.

AUTHOR’S NOTES: This is a side story/in-between short fic in the Milk Tea & Thirteen Sugars series before we go back to the Massive Plot that’s brewing. Btw, er… watch out for completely unashamed romantic fluff. A LOT of it. Prepare for sugar shock. Or tooth decay, possibly.

All I Wish Is To Dream Again
A Trinity Blood Fan Fiction
by Darth Stitch

DISCLAIMER: Trinity Blood was created by Yoshida Sunao (R.I.P.) and is now an anime directed by Tomohiro Hirata and produced by the studio GONZO. I’m just a poor schmuck who wanted to see more romance amongst the all the high adventure, action and intrigue. Again, although this is not a songfic, the title is taken from the song “Nemo” by the band Nightwish. I was inspired by that video I spotted on YouTube – “Mark of My Sins” by Dr. Raven productions. Check it out – it’s pretty cool, actually. 

The Revenants and their concept is actually all mine. This is what I get when I realize I have Massive Plot on my hands and I realize that my original fictional universe can actually seamlessly merge with Trinity Blood.

AUTHOR’S WARNINGS/NOTES: Again, for those new to the anime/manga series, Trinity Blood is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the Roman Catholic Church/the Vatican is portrayed as a military power as well as a spiritual one. The series also strongly implies major and controversial changes in the Church, such as women being bishops and cardinals as well as romantic relationships and quite possibly marriage between members of the clergy. If this disturbs you, do not read any further.

To my male officemates/readers who’re reading this – er, don’t worry, there WILL be blood and gore ahead, just bear with us ladies as we like our romantic schmoop, okay? XP

DEDICATION: Aside from my wonderful officemates, this story is also dedicated to you all you great reviewers out there, especially to Arallion, who just put up the latest chapter of her wonderful Trinity Blood story “In the Name of Power” – check it out, it’s right here on FF Dot Net – and inspired me to get a move on with the Massive Plot in my own story. This is also dedicated to Perhelediel (Lauren), who drew a wonderful piece of fan art for Beautiful Disaster – wheeeeee! Check it out here:

They Think That They See Flowers
A Trinity Blood Fan Fiction
by Darth Stitch

DISCLAIMER: Trinity Blood was created by Yoshida Sunao (R.I.P.) and is now an anime directed by Tomohiro Hirata and produced by the studio GONZO. I’m just a poor schmuck who wanted to see more romance amongst the all the high adventure, action and intrigue. Heh. Again, although this is not a songfic, the title is taken from the first stanza of the song “Let Me Hear” from the Trinity Blood OST.

AUTHOR’S WARNINGS/NOTES: Again, for those new to the anime/manga series, Trinity Blood is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the Roman Catholic Church/the Vatican is portrayed as a military power as well as a spiritual one. The series also strongly implies major and controversial changes in the Church, such as women being bishops and cardinals as well as romantic relationships and quite possibly marriage between members of the clergy. If this disturbs you, do not read any further.

DEDICATION: This is dedicated with much affection to my officemates – Star, Ella, Mommy Erica, Granny, JP, Ces, Aya, Jian, April, Amiel, Lemuel, Gracie and Bianca who read or patiently listened to me as I came up with these stories, laughing at the antics of Abel and Esther in Milk Tea & Thirteen Sugars and then all of them wondering what the heck was going to happen next which spawned Beautiful Disaster. They also offered their insights which helped create this fic. Also much thanks to Tantan who indulgently lent me pen and scratch paper when the Muse hit and allowed me to finish the story during our off hours – hail to thee, O Patron of the Art of Fan Fiction. Everyone here who’s reviewing at FF Dot Net have them to thank for the latest installment in what looks like a rapidly growing fic series. Oi vei!

Beautiful Disaster
A Trinity Blood Fan Fiction
by Darth Stitch

DISCLAIMER: Trinity Blood was created by Yoshida Sunao (R.I.P.) and is now an anime directed by Tomohiro Hirata and produced by the studio GONZO. And yes, the title of this fic is taken from the Kelly Clarkson song. Although this is not my usual way of doing a songfic, I just realized that the lyrics fit a certain tall silly platinum-haired bespectacled priest perfectly. Heh.

AUTHOR’S WARNINGS/NOTES: Again, for those new to the anime/manga series, Trinity Blood is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the Roman Catholic Church/the Vatican is portrayed as a military power as well as a spiritual one. The series also strongly implies major and controversial changes in the Church, such as women being bishops and cardinals as well as romantic relationships and quite possibly marriage between members of the clergy.

Milk Tea & Thirteen Sugars Series – Dramatis Personae

Posted by: darthstitch on: November 12, 2008

This was originally created for my call center colleagues, all of whom ended up reading (and OMG – enjoying!) my fan fiction on its own merits without having seen the anime where it was based on.  What do you know, they had fun with the whole thing and ended up looking for the anime and making me fan art. 

And if you’re new to the anime and my fics, well, here’s your quick guide.  Please note that some of the characters listed are technically Original Characters and not really part of the anime/manga series.  Original Characters are in italics and boldface, to avoid confusion.  Also, my characterizations of the canon cast are mostly based on the anime but I’ve now begun to implement what I’m seeing in the manga and the books, but fitting it in with the way my fan fiction series has developed.  So I know I’m not strictly canon, but hey, that’s what fan fiction is for! :P

Milk Tea & Thirteen Sugars
A Trinity Blood Fan Fiction Inspired by The Blanket Scenario Challenge
by Darth Stitch

DISCLAIMER: Trinity Blood was created by Yoshida Sunao (R.I.P.) and is now an anime directed by Tomohiro Hirata and produced by the studio GONZO. The Blanket Scenario Challenge is a fan fiction challenge originally created by Chelsea Deanne and her website is at http://www.mikomi.com/squittle/main.htm

I’m not directly connected to the fan fiction challenge itself, I do admit I was inspired by the idea of “two characters, one blanket, an isolated cabin and a raging snowstorm.” This began as a respectful tribute to that challenge and has now grown into a series of fan fics, which I am now trying to see if I can upload to WordPress, with pics – yay! 

AUTHOR’S NOTES/WARNINGS: Trinity Blood is an anime which has a post-apocalyptic setting and portrays (among other things) the Roman Catholic Church/the Vatican as a major military power, as well as a spiritual one. Kind of like it was way back in the Middle Ages, except women can now hold positions as cardinals and bishops. Not only that, but if you watch the anime, one gets the impression that a lot of the rules we take for granted have been changed – i.e. the vows of celibacy for priests and nuns. I figure that if THAT vow was strictly in effect, I would NOT see a nun openly confessing her romantic feelings to her priest colleague. So if this kind of thing disturbs you, I suggest you stop reading now.
