I won't lose to the character limit, part 3
The original Masterlist post has grown too big and needed to be split up, so here's the third new Sub-Masterlist, the
Periodically Updated Masterlist Of All GinZura Fic That’s Ever Been Written, Hopefully With Many More Updates To Come: The One With The Beginning Of The Alphabet
Some Prolific Authors
Lord Of The Scavenger Hunt, aka Mina Lightstar aka ukefied
Locked journals and a retooled website make this author’s fic frustrating to track down, but it’s worth the effort, and not just for the GinZura. The author’s gen pieces really manage to capture the tone of the series; it’s the closest thing to actually watching the series I’ve seen in fic so far. I have done my best to provide links to unlocked content, but in some cases this just wasn’t possible. If you want to read it all, you’ll have to cave and POLITELY ASK the author to give you access to her dreamwidth; there’s no need to get an account yourself, you can just use OpenID.

Oh, and some gen, too. All at her LJ: the tags are NOT reliable, but there are only about 130 entries, so it doesn’t take too long to glance through them.

Title: The Early Days of Spring
Author: athena_crikey
Pairing: Gin/Zura
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Jyoui-era. Follows Sanctuary
Summary: The end of the Jyoui war.
A sort-of-sequel to the above that depicts the last battle. It touches on something I wish more fics would mention, namely how absolutely terrifying sci-fi (or even present-day) weapons must seem to an essentially medieval soldier.
Link 1 Link 2 Link 3
Title: The Dark Side of the Moon
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: NC-17
Notes: Genderswap. Also, this is UNFINISHED and likely to remain so. Minor spoilers for The Cat Arc (eps 190ish). Also, crack.

And now for something completely different. (Het sex? In my GinZura? It's more likely than you think!)
Link 1 Link 2
Title: Untitled

This post contains two short GinZura song drabbles with a Benizakura theme. Scroll down a little for them, it's a multifandom post.
Link
Title: Toll
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: PG-13 for Jyoui war flashbacks
Notes: I'll probably finish this. Someday. Also I began writing this before seeing the ghost ryokan episodes, so I suppose it's AU.
Summary: The Yorozuya get sent on an exorcism. Unsurprisingly, things do not go smoothly.
A casefic for the Yorozuya Trio, with bonus Zura goodness. Only chapter one is up so far, but it looks promising. ETA: Now complete!
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Epilogue
The fic at Archive Of Our Own
Title: Echo
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: PG
Notes: I don't think this is particularly good, but it's not getting any better for me sitting on it.

Some nice flashes of Competent!Warrior!Zura as he takes care of delirious Gintoki.

Summary: The Yorozuya is hired to destroy an Amanto vessel while disguised as a Tokugawa noble and his party. Forward the Young Nobleman of Fury.

Link
Title: Good Intentions May Pave the Way to Hell, but Stupidity Glues Them There
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: PG
Summary: The Yorozuya investigate a missing person's case in the Jyouishishi. It could be worse, right up until the point that it couldn't.
By now it should be clear the author is great at coming up with Yorozuya slice-of-life/casefics that are true to the spirit of the show, with bonus mild slashiness, and this fic doesn't disappoint in either respect.
Link
Title: Cutting Room Floor
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: PG
Summary: The Amanto conquer Earth with technology. That includes proving just how thoroughly they've won.
Gin & Zura kicking ass from the Amanto's point of view. Exactly as cool as it sounds.

Title: When Life Gives You Lemonade, Make Lemons
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: G
Summary: The new fall drama starts. Unfortunately, it's historical.
Thanks to a new 'historical' TV show, Gin & Zura get to re-experience the bad old days. Funny & poignant in turns, and really drives home the absurdity of having your life turned into a narrative.

Title: Toll
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: PG-13 for Jyoui war flashbacks
Notes: I'll probably finish this. Someday. Also I began writing this before seeing the ghost ryokan episodes, so I suppose it's AU.
Summary: The Yorozuya get sent on an exorcism. Unsurprisingly, things do not go smoothly.
A casefic for the Yorozuya Trio, with bonus Zura goodness. Only chapter one is up so far, but it looks promising. ETA: Now complete!
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Epilogue
The fic at Archive Of Our Own
Title: Echo
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: PG
Notes: I don't think this is particularly good, but it's not getting any better for me sitting on it.
Summary: Shinpachi gets a look at life in the Jyoui war. It's not pleasant.
Some nice flashes of Competent!Warrior!Zura as he takes care of delirious Gintoki.

Title: Ignorance May Be Dangerous, But Education Can Be Deadly
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: G
Notes: A partial sequel to Kidnap Victims Always Leave Behind an Item with Sentimental Associations.
Summary: The Yorozuya is hired to destroy an Amanto vessel while disguised as a Tokugawa noble and his party. Forward the Young Nobleman of Fury.
Once again, Zura is roped into helping the Yorozuya. You'd think they'd learn...

Title: The Sea
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: PG
Notes:I've got an offer in at help_japan: 4,000 words sliced however you like (e.g. 1 fic of 4,000, 2 of 2,000 etc).
Summary: In the immediate wake of Benizakura Katsura returns to Earth, perhaps for the first time in a decade.
What happened during and immediately after that parachute jump.

Title: Untitled
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: G
Summary: No summary.
You know that shuffle song meme? Where you put your ipod on shuffle and you write a fic based on the first song that comes up? Well this post has three short GinZura fics spawned by this meme.
Link
Title: Good Intentions May Pave the Way to Hell, but Stupidity Glues Them There
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: PG
Summary: The Yorozuya investigate a missing person's case in the Jyouishishi. It could be worse, right up until the point that it couldn't.
By now it should be clear the author is great at coming up with Yorozuya slice-of-life/casefics that are true to the spirit of the show, with bonus mild slashiness, and this fic doesn't disappoint in either respect.

Title: Cutting Room Floor
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: PG
Summary: The Amanto conquer Earth with technology. That includes proving just how thoroughly they've won.
Gin & Zura kicking ass from the Amanto's point of view. Exactly as cool as it sounds.

Title: End of an Era
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: G
Summary: The Yorozuya attend a kendo tournament and meet Zura, who is his usual gloomy self.
Gin & Zura meet up at a kendo tournament and reflect about their lives.

NEW!
Title: When Life Gives You Lemonade, Make Lemons
Author: athena_crikey
Rating: G
Summary: The new fall drama starts. Unfortunately, it's historical.
Thanks to a new 'historical' TV show, Gin & Zura get to re-experience the bad old days. Funny & poignant in turns, and really drives home the absurdity of having your life turned into a narrative.
