Between 2004 and 2017 I wrote many fanfictions, first under the penname miss-apple-dbz, and then under mander-lee. I've since deleted many of my early works, but upon reflection, I decided to re-share them here. It's nice to see how much I've grown on my writing journey! On that note, please be kind and charitable, as many of these were written when I was much younger and had less writing skills. A few fics will remain unpublished since I either didn't keep a backup or the cringe overrode my pride, haha! My mander-lee account is still active on Fanfiction.net and on AO3.
I tried to preserve the author's notes for better context of the time I posted these stories.

Dragon Ball Z
Akira Toriyama
What You Will
Videl investigates a theft by going undercover in an all-boys school, which happens to be the school that Son Gohan is attending. As she unravels the mystery behind the theft, she realizes that her classmate may be more involved in it that she initially thought. Inspired by Shakespeare's Twelfth Night or What You Will. HanVi.
Unsure
All of a sudden, with the world shifting beneath her feet, one of the things that she became uncertain about was herself. After all, it wasn't really that the world had changed. No, if anything, it was her who changed. And she had to make sure it was for the better. HanVi.
Semaphore

Platonic
They say that seven years was not enough to heal the wounds in her heart. But maybe seven years was more than enough to erase the love she had in it. Chichi-centric.
Four Words
He grabbed her wrist and spun her around, only to whisper four words into her ear that he hoped would change her mind. HanVi.
Time In
Hello. My name is Son Gohan, and I am the prince of Mount Paozu. My partner in crime is Videl, daughter of the overthrown fraud and previously named World Champion. And we are trying to create a scandal. HanVi.

More promises. Videl believed that since her mother had passed away, her life had just been a string of promises. Most of them fulfilled, thankfully, but she marveled at how everyone close to her had been compelled to make so many. Videl-centric.
Silver and Gold
There was an informal pattern with the wives - or lovers - of the warriors sent to rescue mankind. Videl barely knew all three of them, and dreaded to become the fourth. HanVi.
Fire
Videl thinks that her relationship with Saiyaman is a little like a game. Videl-centric.
Hide and Peek
Goten can't find a gift for Trunks' birthday, but a chance encounter with Gohan and Videl at an inopportune time gives him an idea for one. Implied HanVi.
Family Day
A new holiday allows Gohan to reach out to someone who's not in a very festive mood. HanVi.
Don't Read
Mistaking an old notebook for Videl's diary, Gohan sets out to grant what he assumes is her dying wish. HanVi.
Ten Days
What happened during those ten days Videl spent over at Gohan's to learn how to fly? HanVi.
Legend Says
Slowly and hesitantly, the marker was dragged across the boy's hat, outlining symbols for a name familiar to her mouth, but foreign to her hands. HanVi.
Play With Me
I could feel the familiar sense of embarrassment wash over me. Oh no, it's happening again. The blood rushed to my cheeks and ears, tainting the skin on my face a deep shade of crimson. HanVi.
The Right Time
You sigh and turn for home. Maybe this isn't the right moment after all. HanVi.

The Skull had warned her of this. He'd told her that Lockwood would dial up the charm, would run circles around her reasons, would whip out the Kuriashi Turn on her doubts, would bide his time to weaken her resolve. All to get her to stay, because it was easier to do nothing when she was exhausted.
