OH. MY. DIOS!!!
I thought you're barred from internet forever! Missed you so much, that leaves only Eppie, SDF, and that sandwich-eating hamster who had not been showing themselves in the Rose Garden for a while now.

With regard to your request, though, when you say AnthyXUtena, do you mean Anthy being the... dominant... one? Hm... I remember seeing that somewhere in the forum before. It's also in this section, there used to be this thread that talks about what become of the characters in the future. That fanfic was a one-shot, and it matched very nicely with Olivia's "Space Halo".

My other source of fanfic has been none other than fanfiction.net, sorry couldn't be more helpful here.

Yes, of course we noticed! I've been wondering where you were too.


As far as fics go, I only really know about the ones on the site. But they're good!

I don't know if it's precisely what you want, but I've got several fics in which Anthy and Utena have a relationship on my site: http://www.broomstick.org/utena

The big one is, of course, Archimage, which is unfinished thus far (working on it! slowly!)

Wow, I wondered if the author of Archimage also lived here.
*commence raving*
This is my very fave SKU fic. No really. Really it is. And I say that having read every fic I could get my sweaty hands on. Why is it such a great fic? Well partly because it's looong. Partly because it's good writing. Partly because it's very SKU-like in it's surrealism. Partly because Anthy is such a mystery in it (as she should be). Partly because Utena is so noble in it (as she should be). Partly because so many characters get fair treatment in it (I especially like Juri and Touga). Partly because it has some damn good ideas. And partly because it's Utena/Anthy yay!

I see you and er (is it your wife?) are up to the final part. Which is also astoundingly good for such a long piece. So many long fanfics don't get finished. I am very committed to reading more. And re-reading what you've got.
*end raving...for now*

Er back to the topic at hand, my long ongoing Utena/Anthy fanfic Roses Grow (56,500 words so far!) is here: http://forums.ohtori.nu/viewtopic.php?id=1518
And my short one-shot When She Finally Found Her is here: http://forums.ohtori.nu/viewtopic.php?id=1522

And Coco, you're in for a treat. Because I have waded through the filth of fanfic.net, and here are links to the choice (imnsho) Utena/Anthy pieces that are archived there:

Thanks! *cheers for Antena goodness*
Does anyone else have more great links to U/A fanfic of note living anywhere at all...perhaps livejournal, personal sites, or mediaminer or other fanfic.net-type sites? Please please post it. We have an addiction to treat with...addicting fanfics.

OMG, I've been 'rec'ed!
I've never been 'rec'ed before!

This is so cool! I was about to come and self-rec myself because I am a review-whore of the worst kind. Hint hint.

Oh, gosh, the things I miss when I go missing for a while.

Thank you!  I needed that ego-boo right now.

I think this might count for nascent Utena/Anthy? At least up to the level implied in the series: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4771899/1/Scars

I really should write more fic for this show.

Nothing exciting to report on the Utena/Anthy fanfic front, peoples. I actually resurrected this thread to moan that when you do a Utena/Anthy search at fanfic.com you get ONLY 1 and a HALF PAGES OF FIC. *keels over in shock*

That's despicable. I mean, c'mon, Utena/Anthy is the main relationship pairing of SKU. It doesn't matter whether it's romantic or not...their friendship is the pivot and point of Revolutionary Girl Utena. Is it too much to ask for more fanfic?! I'm kinda shocked really. There should be 10 pages worth at least...

Probably because so many people don't list main characters in their story. I know it sucks, but in order to find all Utena and Anthy stories at fanfic.net, you need to do a general search and look through every fic there.

Maybe I should work on writing some more fics there.

A_Man: Warning: Lemon This is my favorite Utena/Anthy lemon.

I loved this ending - it was friggin' hilarious! Keep in mind people that Utena and Anthy have just had sex...and now....

As the young womens' voices trailed into the distance, the lights in
the kitchen clicked off by a deft movement of Anthy's foot, the only
sound was a clock ticking from somewhere nearby. The room was cast
into deep blue and black, shadows stretching across the table, cast
from the teapot and cups. And, sitting partly in shadow, in the
cross-legged, paws-on-elbows position he often assumed when waking up,
was Chuchu... his eyes wide, a strange, shocked expression on his odd
little face, skin having assumed a stonelike appearance with cracks
running throughout.

Anyhoo...thanks for posting the U/A links A_Man. I've read most of them but it's always good to see other people's recs, and have a bit of a re-read. Appreciated.
And yeah, you're probably right about people not listing main pairings on fanfic.net. Hmm I should have thought of that...they only added that "list your character" function for SKU pretty recently.

Adding my latest two UtenaxAnthy offerings:

http://forums.ohtori.nu/viewtopic.php?id=1936 Duel Called Enmity (Utena & Anthy, post-anime)
Meet an Utena with a darker side, and see how Anthy handles the situation.

http://forums.ohtori.nu/viewtopic.php?id=1966 Anthy's Turn (Anthy/Utena, post-anime)
Anthy takes some time to realize she's free after the Duel Called Revolution, but when she does, she sets out to find Utena at all costs. But finding Utena (even when she finds her) may be quite the task...

Well I guess I could add thi link to this one fan fic I'm working on. I just added the 4th chapter.
