Title: "Part 11.5: Castle" (800 words)

Summary: Ever wondered where Luis was and what he was doing before he caught up with Leon and Ashley on the outer walkway of the castle?

Warnings: Mild violence and language.

Pairing: None really. Perhaps the ever-present implied Luis/Rachel.

Author's Note: This is what took me so long to write, everyone. Can't say I particularly liked it, but I was really glad to have this breakthrough moment when I was like "why can't Luis go here?" I didn't want to continue with the next real part until I wrote and posted this, so times are getting better.

( Part 11.5: Castle )

Title: "Part XI: Close" (4036 words)

Summary: Times are getting tense and action filled all around. Luis and Rachel seek refuge in a familiar cabin while Chris and Rachel are forced to work together in a tight situation.

Warnings: Violence and language.

Pairing: None really. Perhaps the ever-present implied Luis/Rachel.

Author's Note: Wow. That was fast! I'm pretty certain that this is my longest part yet and I like this one. I see all of it really well in my head and I hope that you'll be able to as well! Biiiig thanks to youresmalltime for this brilliant Chris idea and dialogue, as usual. And, yes, it was really weird typing "Ashley" during this part.

Title: "Part X: Suspicious" (3766 words)

Summary: Luis and Rachel start to have problems that may affect their partnership in parts to come. Just as Rachel starts to let her guard down, Chris finds something else about her that doesn't quite add up.

Warnings: Mild violence and language.

Pairing: Implied Luis/Rachel.

Author's Note: I kinda like this part. LOL. I'm excited about the next part! Hopefully that one will be written faster than usual and I won't forget what happened in the previous part. Big thanks to youresmalltime for being so patient with me when I asked for help with Chris's dialogue. The part where he and Rachel are talking near the beginning of their section was written about four times before I finally liked what was happening. Enjoy!

[August 4th, 2009: I don't know how it happened, but this is somehow the unedited version of this part. The edited version is lost, so I have to revise it all over again, which... I don't feel like doing. So, it'll be a bit before I do edit it. Nothing major. Just getting rid of redundant words and phrases, mostly.

( Part X: Suspicious )

Title: "Taste" (400 words)

Summary: July 21st, 2006. Before RE5, before Jill finds Chris again to track down Spencer. Chris is beginning to miss being active in the anti-Umbrella movement and it shows.

Warnings: A little bit of violence.

Pairing: Christochel.

Author's Note: This is my favorite one-shot so far for the Table Challenge. It's a different style from anything else I've written in a loooong time. I liked writing this and I'll probably do one or two more like this... unless it's really confusing and nobody knows wtf I'm trying to say.

Title: "Earth" (200 words)

Summary: This takes place in Europe AFTER my main fic and way before RE5. Late spring/early summer 2005.

Warnings: I said one swear, one time. Maybe slightly sexual.

Pairing: Christochel.

Author's Note: I needed something really cute and Christochel and this is what I ended up writing.

Title: "Colorless" (100 words)

Summary: Rachel's getting back to her school life after the Raccoon City disaster. After she's been dumped by her boyfriend and her friends.

Warnings: Mildly depressing.

Pairing: None at all.

Author's Note: Rachel coping with losing her family, diving into her studies, and basically shutting out every other aspect of her life after Raccoon City really fascinates me. Expect more one-shots about this topic because I think it would be interesting to explore how much she changes from starting college to the girl you meet in my canon fic.

( Colorless )

Title: "Part IX: Notice" (4005 words)

Summary: Luis and Rachel are helping behind the scenes. Chris and Rachel split up and come across their own discoveries.

Warnings: Mild language and violence

Pairing: Hmm. There really aren't any here.

Author's Note: This took for goddamnever. I edited it as much as I could and I think it's decent. This is a long one, so I apologize, but it's been a while, so I didn't think anybody would mind. Enjoy!

Title: "Laundry" (400 words)

Summary: It's time for real clean clothes that haven't been washed in a river. This takes place in the magic time after the main fic has ended and before the post-canon really begins, so summer 2005, I would say.

Warnings: What I consider to be scandalous, so. Probably no warnings for you. LOL

Pairing: God, I hope it's Chris and Rachel.

Author's Note: So, this really isn't as bad as I thought it was once I read it over again. It was enough to make me blush and skip over the parts I wrote when I was REALLY drunk. It's not wonderful, but it's not terrible either. It's okay. Not gonna lie, it was hard to edit, because I was embarrassed not only for Christochel, but for myself just for writing it. If it's repetitive, that's exactly why. LOL. Enjoy!

( Laundry )

Title: "Part VIII: Culpability" (3203 words)

Summary: Luis and Rachel's plans run into a few snags along the way.

Warnings: Mild language, if that, and somewhat disturbing imagery.

Pairing: Same hints of Luis/Rachel.

Author's Note: Took me long enough, right? This part is entirely a flashback, so, no, I didn't make a mistake with all the italics. It was harder to describe the exact location of the inside of the facility, so if you have any questions about that, ask. I finally just figured it out for myself. I might change this part later on to include some action, but for now, this is what works the best. Also, I think I edited this part with my asscheeks.

Title: "Part VII: Plan of Action" (3549 words)

Summary: Times are complicated and confusing. It's time for a new plan.

Warnings: Language, violence.

Pairing: None, really, but I guess L/R, if you really want one.

Author's Note: This might be the fastest part I've written yet? Maybe? Anyway, I'm not completely dissatisfied with this one, either. It could have been better, if I had done a speed-through of "Resident Evil 4" again to find out details of the facility. I think that what I wrote works, though, for what they know now and will find out later. Also, in Part IV, when Rachel is reviewing her inventory, she was supposed to have blueprints of the facility and I apparently didn't realize that I never added that in until I was writing this part and the map became necessary. So, in case you're wondering, they've always had that giant map of the Paris facility. I'll add that into Part IV later.

Also, this part was 3995 words before I edited it done. And, as always, thank you to youresmalltime for directly and indirectly inspiring Chris.

Title: "Part VI: Trust" (3397 words)

Summary: Partners ftw! ...yeah, that's an effective summary.

Warnings: Some language, some violence.

Pairing: Some L/R.

Author's Note: ...I'm not dead. LOL. This part has been basically finished for a long time now, actually. I just didn't realize it. Something about it still seems kind of off to me, but youresmalltime disagrees and, thusly, I am posting without another endless round of editing. Enjoy!

( Part VI: Trust )                 

Title: "Tragedy" (1860 words)

Summary: Washington DC, October 1st, 1998. Rachel has just started her sophomore year at George Washington University as the news of Raccoon City reaches the press.

Warnings: Some drama. Adult themes.

Pairing: None, really.

Author's Note: I've been thinking about this for a long time and I thought it was finally time to write it. Sadly, I got the inspiration to write this while watching an episode of "George Lopez". Also, I didn't edit this. I had a good feeling that I wouldn't want to post it after I read it over again and it's been almost a month since I posted ANYTHING, so, here you go.

( Tragedy )

Title: "Part V.V: Luis" (350 words)

Summary: Luis meets this American agent in a familiar setting.

Warnings: Some violence.

Pairing: None, really.

Author's Note: ...it's supposed to be 5.5, but in following with the tradition of using Roman numerals, I typed it as V.V, which... looks like a celebration, but, yeah, y'know. Enjoy!

[edit 9/1/09]: I couldn't stand the V.V any more and changed it to 5.5. LOL

( Part V.V: Luis )

Title: "Part V: Helpless" (3399 words)

Summary: Luis and Rachel find themselves on the run from Saddler. Chris and Rachel finally find the Paris facility.

Warnings: Rated PG-13 for violence, language, and a possible sexual allusion.

Pairing: Hints of Luis/Rachel and possibly a glimmer of Chris/Rachel.

Author's Note: Oh, part V. Why did you take me so long to write? This part was about 4000 words before I edited it, so, consider yourselves lucky! I'm trying to cut back on the waffling and unnecessary words. Enjoy!

Title: "Part IV: Secrets" (3934 words)

Summary: Explanation after explanation after explanation... a lot of information here.

Warnings: Rated PG for mild terror and language. Very mild.

Pairing: Luichel is pretty evident now.

Author's Note: So, apparently, it took me four weeks to get this out. This is the third version of this part. EVIDENTLY, I think this part is important enough to take so long to get it right. I'm actually okay with this now. It's a combination of the first and second drafts. It's a little long... I couldn't help that, sorry. I hope it doesn't seem long, though, because that would suck. LOL. Also, I seriously did not go through and read the new stuff I just wrote tonight. This part just needed to end and be posted, so, without further adieu!

[edit] The original post date was January 9th, 2009. However, I am so stuck with the next part that I had to come back and fix THIS part before I could really get going on Part V. So. This new version, which I am much happier with, has about 400 more words. I have no idea how that happened, honestly, because I took out SO MUCH. Anyway, there are small changes throughout the whole part. The most noticeable change is an added section as Luis and Rachel are leaving the facility. I also wanted to make a note that in this version, Luis states that the plaga removal machine is fully built. That should be it!

Title: "Practice" (350 words)

Summary: June 30th, 1998, Raccoon City.

Warnings: Mild language that is. Very mild.

Pairing: Ryan and some mystery girl, I guess!

Author's Note: Looks like I actually did make this a set of one-shots with Rachel and her siblings! This one makes me sad because, well... I guess you'll find out. Just look at the date. Also, I wrote this one pretty quickly and didn't really edit it much. If it sucks, I'm sorry. LOL.

( Practice )

Title: "Homecoming" (350 words)

Summary: Late October/early November 1997, Raccoon City. Rachel comes home from college in DC for a weekend right before midterms.

Warnings: Don't worry, it's all G.

Pairing: I mean. Eric/Jenny, I suppose. LOL

Author's Note: I really wanted to write about Rachel's interactions with her family, but I'm having problems seeing things like before she went to college. Everything I see is her after she's already left home. So, this is just one in, hopefully, a set of drabbles or one-shots featuring the Murphy family. Just a hint of the people she misses so much throughout the main fic.

( Homecoming )

Title: "Part III: Chance Meetings" (3262 words)

Summary: Strange things happening in Spain! Rachel starts to figure out what's really going on in that research facility. And in Paris, is someone following her? :O

Warnings: omg some language, for once!

Pairing: Hints of Luis/Rachel

Author's Note: I pretty much hate this part, I'm not gonna lie. It took fordamnedever to write! Oh, well. I... don't think I have anything else to say about this part. It's a love/hate relationship, really.

( Part III: Chance Meetings )

Title: "Part II: Shadows" (3313 words)

Summary: Rachel needs to be a bit more careful with her things and pay more attention to things happening around her. Learning more about her deal in Fall 2004 and what she's doing now, Spring 2005.

Warnings: I think it's pretty G right now. No bad language or gratuitous violence yet.

Pairing: Vague hinting at L/R.

Author's Note: Not a big fan of this section, not gonna lie, although I do like the unusual turn that it took. It's just time that I posted it. Here's hoping that I like part III better.

( Part II: Shadows )

Title: "Sweetest Day" (386 words)

Summary: Oh, you crazy Ohesians and your made-up holidays.

Warnings: It's just cute.

Pairing: Christochel, of course.

Author's Note: I've decided that this is probably Sweetest Day 2007. It could be 2006, also, if you're concerned. And apparently I like to post a lot in one day and then never again.
