Fic summaries and Artist Claim post
So in total, we currently have 12 fics and 17 artists. That means that in order for every artist to get a fic to work on, some fics are going to have to have two artists. The way I'd like to set it up is that each artist comes through and claims one fic first, and then when the first round of claiming is done, artists that feel okay with taking extra work can claim a second fic. Each fic can have up to two artists. Comment this entry with your claims.
By request, author names are not included in these summaries.
Additionally, some requested extensions on the deadlines, and thus their current wordcounts are low. Since several people request extensions the day OF the deadline (which made it a real headache for me), I'm going to standardize them now. You must request an extension at least three days before the deadline in order to get it. Otherwise, you will be held responsible for the full draft.
Rough drafts will be posted to Dreamwidth over the week, and a compilation entry will be posted friends-locked to this community on Friday. Artists, you have until April 4th to claim. Authors, your next deadline is the second rough drafts, 10K on April 4th. Those drafts will be posted with author's names, so that you can keep in touch with your artists over the two months after.
Title: Mending the Divide
Current Wordcount:8370
Characters/Pairings: Main: Allen/Kanda/Lenalee/Lavi. Side of Allen/Tyki, Road/Allen (one-sided), Kanda/Alma
Synopsis: With the defeat of the Millennium Earl the exorcists have all gone their separate ways. Dire circumstances gave them goals, drive, and friendships; prepared them for war and not peace.

Title: Settling Down?
Current Wordcount: 5 157
Characters/Pairings: Lavi, Kanda, Allen, Lenalee, LaviKanda
Synopsis: When Bookman announces that they're moving, after four years, Lavi's first choice is to go with him because that's what he has always done. But it doesn't take long for him to start thinking of the life he has built, and the fact that his friends and boyfriend obviously really disapprove of it, and while doing so he starts doubting if going with Bookman is what he really wants. The time before the move is tough as he tries to figure out what he should even do if he stays, and what would happen if he left. In the end, after a lot of thinking and talking, he makes his decision. It's the toughest he has ever made but despite some doubts he's sure it's right; he doubts he could just leave all of them anyway.

Characters/Pairings: Allen/Road/Tyki, Allen/Kanda, Kanda/Alma, possibly Earl/14th
Synopsis: The world is living out the last of its hours. The Earl of Millennium is conducting the final act of his grand opera. When the Earl resurrects his beloved traitor, Allen loses his body, but thanks to a last-second intervention by Road, his soul escapes safely into the world of dreams. Tyki follows after, and together the three of them carve out a hiding space at the edge of universe and wait for the Apocalypse. Kanda, his soul lost between the worlds of life and death, finds his way to their doorstep in search of salvation. The Apocalypse is nigh - though not what it seems at first - and the God-hunt is beginning, but Allen isn’t satisfied with the Noah family’s solution. Can he think of a way to save the soul of the world in time? Or will the Earl’s Armageddon scour away all memory of the world that was along with the corruption of its fallen God?
