And I post up yet another fic; will wonders never cease.

Done for iyori; Happy (belated) birthday, Graffuuuuu~ ♥♥♥ *hugs* Haven't written you anything in ages; I hope this doesn't fail too badly or something. ^^;;

Also, first fic written on my new laptop! How obvious is it that I am out of touch with writing?

I think I may have somewhat deviated from the original 'stripper-fic' prompt, ahahahaorz oops. Characters picked because of a certain unfinished, semi-old fic that may or may not be related and may or may not have stemmed off this fic. OOCness probably abound or something.

(I'll be starting the Odin's Sphere fic ASAP, carneaglariel!! Really! m(_ _)m)

Saeki, Bane, Rokakku clubroom, heat, any way you want it.

( And Summer's Got its Grip on Us )

Because I seem to be incapable of writing anything but crack-that-is-not-really-cracky these days; why, brain, whyyyyyyy.

Anyway, before that, here's an old scrap of a fic I found in my folder while pulling up the Rikkai/Maou fic. It's about a year or two old, methinks - title only seems unrelated because the scrap never made it that far. Hopefully it'll counter the lameness of the following fic? 8D

( Unthief )

...So!

Rikkai if 'Maou' were aired in the Tenipuri universe: Rikkai, gen, crossover of a sorts. Possible OOC warning and major spoilers for 'Maou': SHIELD THY EYES, CHILDREN.

( The Devil of It All (aka ‘The Great Maou Fic’) )

Second Dynasty warriors fic ever attempted and it just had to be because of a cracky MSN convo.

Since it is best illustrated by said convo, it all started with this:

axtar: Wu men? Are all built for Mills and Boons


Cue discussion, contemplation, lots of laughter and headwalling until:

yuncyn: ....SHIT WEI IF THIS CONTINUES WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WRITE THIS TO GET IT OUT OF OUR SYSTEM
yuncyn: THOUGH I CAN'T IMAGINE ZHOU YU AND SUN CE WITH ANYONE BUT THEIR WIVES
axtar: WU: X RATED
yuncyn: I SAID _IF THIS CONTINUES_
axtar:..SHIT
axtar: ZHOU YU, GET OUTTA MY HEAD
yuncyn: ....PLEASE DON'T SAY YOU HAVE AN IDEA
yuncyn: YOU _HAVE_ AN IDEA.
axtar: I WON'T SAY IT.
yuncyn: YOU HAVE AN IDEA?!?!?!?!
axtar: I'M PICTURING SOMEONE SCRABBLING DESPERATELY FOR A STRATEGY
yuncyn: FOR A MILLS AND BOONS STARRING _ZHOU YU_ OF ALL PEOPLE!??!
axtar: AND FAILING TO FIND ONE
yuncyn: .....*DIES LAUGHING ALL OVER THE KEYBOARD*


Dare ensues, crappy drabble is done and then Denise just had to do it:

yuncyn: YOU KNOW
yuncyn: I TOTALLY _DARE_ YOU TO POST THAT ON LJ
axtar:............................................I will do it.
axtar: IF.
yuncyn:....oh NO.
yuncyn: I DO NOT LIKE THAT IF.
yuncyn: WHAT'S WITH THE IF.
axtar: You write SUN CE/DA QIAO MILLS AND BOONS DRABBLE
yuncyn: *SPEWS* I _KNEW_ IT
axtar: I'll even EDIT MINE
yuncyn: ...OKAY FINE
axtar: AND UP THE MILLS AND BOONS UST
yuncyn: BUT I'M STILL SAYING THIS WAS ALL YOUR IDEA
axtar:.....WTF, SINCE WHEN
yuncyn: YOU AND YOUR WU MILLS AND BOONS MEN!
axtar: YOU TOTALLY GOT THE BALL ROLLING WITH YOUR ZHOU YU SUGGESTION
yuncyn: I SAID LING TONG!
yuncyn: THEN YOU WENT AND CORRECTED HIS REACTION

Mentioned drabble (originally of 103 words) has obviously morphed into...well, this. I'M SORRY DENISE, I DID MY BEST TO MAKE IT PWP and Mills and Boons, BUT FAILED SO SO MISERABLY. Oh well. There is always Zhen Ji/Cao Pi.

Anyway, before I forget, here is a direct dare for futomimii and iyori, which Denise and I agreed on:

I'M DARING EITHER ONE OF YOU TO ILLUSTRATE ANY PART OF THIS DRABBLE. SERIOUSLY. 8D

Anyway!

Xiao Qiao, Zhou Yu, pairing fic, apple trees, attempted-and-failed-Mills and Boons. Generic title because I couldn't think of anything else.

( Complicated )

It's been ages since I've used the fic tag, wow~

Before you start wondering if I've suddenly kicked my fanfic-writing gears into action again, this isn't a new fic. ^^;; I can't even quite remember when I wrote this (forgot to check the date before I edited it), but I'm thinking sometime late last year.

Can't believe I forgot about this though! I'm quite fond of it - Fuji's fun to write, when he's being cooperative in my head. I think I saved it back then, intending to edit it when I was free only to forget about it when assignments flooded in. >D;;; Oh well. Didn't edit much of it; if there's any mistakes I may have made, I'd appreciate the heads-up!

Fuji, fifteen facts, gen.

( Fifteen Facts regarding Fuji Syuusuke )

So well, I decided it was high time I got this posted, considering it was the very last fic I wrote in 2007. It would have been posted sooner but uni caught me up in its tornado and, well, you know the drift.

Personally, I liked the core idea of this fic - the intro and the ending wouldn't quite settle properly (still doesn't, in my mind), but I had an absolute blast writing the middle bits. =p Pardon any mistakes rules-wise; I tried to keep it as accurate as possible, but I'm not too familiar with certain sports as I am with others.

Did a quick readthrough - there's only so much a person can focus on something after playing 'Mystery Case Files: Huntsville' after all.

Ryoma, Fuji, juxtaposition of various sports, guest appearances by Seigaku, Hyotei and Rikkai at some point or another. Gen, as usual.

EDITEI: A few tense edits and I poked at the first few paragraphs. Will likely be poking it a little bit more.

( Medley in Six Movements )

No really, this habit of writing furiously up to the last minute has to stop. Because while I can handle the arm-aches, I really need to double check my exam work. Seriously.

Like when I mixed up John Donne's 'The Sunne Rising' with Chaucer's 'Wife of Bath's Portrait (there goes two marks!...D8). Likewise, I almost ran out of time on my essay on the Romantic Period.

*headdesks with great righteousness*

On the bright side though, at least with the essay, I wasn't lacking in points to write about, only time - an extension of 30 minutes would have been more than welcomed. Just managed to squeeze in the dramas written by the 'Big Six' before I submitted my paper but wasn't able to fit in the details I had planned to, urgh.

Right now, I feel rather like a information-loaded pamphlet on the Romantic Period. It'll probably be gone by tomorrow when I'll be loaded with Journalism notes instead. Ah memory, such a fickle thing.

(I hope I'll be able to retain at least 3/4s of what I studied though - the Romantic Period is a fascinating subject to look into, history or not.)

In the meantime, the theme song of today (and possibly throughout the duration of this exam):

The Beatles - Let it Be

*grooves along* This is possibly what's keeping me grinning goofily instead of losing my head somewhere; it's on loop on my WMP at the moment.

In other news, I apparently have a, er, Fanfic Wiki Page. Erm, what? o___O

Hey guys, is there another seat on that boat you're on? Y'know, the one which goes 'Unsure whether Flattered or Terrified'?

At least it's only the FF.Net stuff (at the moment) though - I might be more creeped out if they start going through my LJ fic...

EDITEI: Changed the link for the Beatles' song - it works fine now!

Just suddenly felt like typing something out today, so I sat down, hammered this out, cursorily checked through and BAM! this. This ran on longer than I thought it would. I still fail at naming my fics though.

Methinks it's because of the date; we get a 29th of February only what, once every 4 years? Also, happy birthday, Fuji Syuusuke of POT fame. ^^

This hasn't really been edited, but I'm too tired to do anything but do a look through for spelling errors. Hopefully, it isn't too bad?...

Young Tezuka, Young Fuji, a windowsill in a house and strange discussions. Mini AU of a sorts. Gen, as usual. =p

( 'Who are you?' )

First (official) fanfic of 2008~ >DDD

Man, Denise's going to kick me for this - I tried to write the news assignment I was supposed to (and I did! Honest!) when Rachmaninov's 'Vocalise' played on my WMP again. There is something about this song that produces nostalgic/melancholic/etc. fic somehow, thus...this.

I've realized this is...not short so, sorry if this is rambly. Really rambly. Almost to the extent where there seems to be no point. Or maybe there is no point...*ducks a flying tomato*


I'll get down to doing the other two essays tomorrow when I can access MSWord in uni. In the meantime, it feels good to have finally written something, nevermind that it might be, well, not as well written as it could be or something


Troika, gen, clubroom conversations on life and tennis.


( When the rain falls, cold )

Because this LJ hasn't seen fic for ages now, damned writer's block.

As written for subrosa_tennis in two days. Never underestimate the power of a procrastinator's panic!

Set just after Genius 305 as Hyoutei comes to terms with their loss. 5066 words, Hyoutei, gen - enough said.

( Beauty in Ashes )

Because Genius 358 demands drabblage, however lame and incoherent and rambly - the sheer WTF-ness of the chapter commands it.

Rachmaninov's 'Vocalise' did not help whatsoever - darn that melancholic, wistful, perfect timing. >_____> Hence the title inspiration.

Yanagi, Inui, Kaidoh, aftermath. Relatively minor spoilers and _some_ plot, I think.


( He thinks that tennis is the catalyst, the beginning of the end and turns that thought over and over in his hands before knowing it's really anything but. )

There are two points to this post:

[1] Thank you soooo much to carneaglariel and futomimii for inviting me to help out with their Nozomi/Tomomori (Harutoki 3) photoshoot today and to raincloud_sama, yuncyn, _kazeki_ and Bunny-chan for coming as well and making the whole thing great ^o^

You guys are seriously, seriously awesome in both cosplaying and photography and I'm glad to be able to bask in all your collective awesomeness. ♥♥♥ Also, Axtar levels up in photography, y/n? >D

*really, REALLY wants to start working on Hinoe now*


[2] Because I haven't posted fic in ages, seriously.

And I'm totally cheating because this fic was actually written ages ago as a crackish plot idea for tenifriends, only it didn't turn out anywhere near the crack I wanted it to be. Forgot I even wrote it actually, until I was looking for my Grammar assignment to reread exactly what types of determiners there are and stumbled across it in my hard-drive.

But anyway enough of the tl;dr - here's to hoping it's not overly lame. ^^;;

Marui, Niou, loss of sleep and stalker-ish overtones. Vague plot somewhere in the mix.

( Are you afraid of me, Marui? )

Adapted from a few memes I recalled, including the recent one on ai_ling's LJ:

Below are several of my favorite lines that I've ever written, each (or in some cases, 3) taken from a certain fanfic of mine. Anyone who manages to guess all the fics they are respectively from will get a drabble (of any specified fandom I'm familiar with) when my writer's block finally decides to take its leave. ^o^ All (ten of) the fics can be found in my master fic list.

Some of them are pretty much dead givaways, IMO (Okay, so I think they're ALL pretty much dead giveaways) but hey, what the heck, ( guessing never hurts anyone. )

If anything, browsing through my old fics makes me appreciate them more (THOSE CANAAN DAAAAYS, WHERE HAVE THEY GON-*is kicked*). On the not so bright side, I now itch to write something, anything but alas, Linguistics revision calls. Meh.

EDITEI: Comments temporarily screened.

EDITEI II: Just as a hint, only 5 are of the POT fandom.

EDITEI III: Of the non-POT ones, none of them are 30_kisses fic. >D

All the Mass Comm. assignments finally finished - good riddance! *flops over desk* I guess I didn't know how badly those particular assignments were affecting me; had a brief breakdown two days ago when working on the article-comparison. Meh, I guess writer's block didn't just sap my fanficcing, it worked its way into my uni stuff as well. +_____+ Thank you though, all of you who worried! *hugs the lot of you*

After I finally handed in both assignments, a random sentence embedded itself within my brain and refused to budge until I had written it out somehow. So I came home, opened MSWord and banged out pretty much whatever came to mind.

Hence, this. =D It feels _good_ to be writing something again, nevermind if it's slightly incoherent etcetera.

Tezuka, Fuji, clouds, dreamscapes.


( 'Where is 'here'?' )

Done for whisper132 for the tenifriends fic exchange.

This was the first POT long-fic I've ever written (since 'Inverse' was written after this; heck, it was a by-product of this, really) so I was nervous as to how this would be received. Thank you so much, dmjewelle and readerofasaph for helping me beta this piece of work! Also, thank you carneaglariel and iyori for checking parts of this out. *hugs the lot of you* ♥

Also, a random bit of trivia: This entire fic was written while listening to 'Blue Eyes Blue' by Eric Clapton. ;p

*Spoilers for Genius 321 onwards* Niou, Marui, gen. As Rikkai goes head to head with Nagoyaseitoku on the tennis court, Niou remembers the first time he played doubles.

( A Strange Kind of Combination )

Done for yuncyn, because she's just awesome that way. ^____^

Dashed out in 15 minutes in UTAR's computer lab with the prompt Tezuka, diamond. I still say this could be written better, but since Denise will probably whack me again if I keep insisting it's so, I will shut up. =p Hope you (still) like it, Denise~!

Note to self: Learn to pick better fic titles.

Tezuka Kunimitsu, Tezuka Ayana, a loss, a find.

( The story tumbles out in bits and pieces )

Done for futomimii: Sanada & Yukimura, one of them being coaxed into a dance competition (using 'I Love You Mi Vida').

I'm so sorry, Fen: I got diverted from the main prompt and the song wasn't mentioned at all (but I looped it for inspiration? 8D) and everything just turned out really WTF-y and cracky (somewhat). XDDDD Feel free to ask me to write another one if this one doesn't suffice!

Sanada, Yukimura, rest of Rikkai, clubbing, gen.


( When Yukimura had mentioned 'team-bonding activity', Sanada certainly hadn't been expecting…well, this )

"For the last time," Niou grumbles as he slouches against the wall, "We could get this done so much faster if we just go through the window.Like I always do, he adds to himself but doesn't lend the thought his voice; there are times where one is fully justified in being selfish after all.

Easy laughter flit, muted, in arpeggios of amusement through the heavy chill of the morning air. "It really wouldn't be very polite, Niou-kun. Besides, she might still be asleep."

"Exactly my point." Damn politeness - they've loitered out here ten minutes too long for his liking already.

"Is he always like this, Yukimura-kun?"

"Sometimes; he's usually more infuriating during tennis practice." A figure shifts from where it's seated at the side; in the brightening darkness of the early morning, he smiles. "Still, he's a decent tennis player."

Saeki laughs again and turns to look at the window. "I'm sure he's more than just 'decent'; then again, Rikkai players always are. I wonder why Ellie hasn't barked at us yet – she does sometimes, when I come around."

"Heh, she has her moods." Niou smirks a little though at that revelation; Ellie has yet to ever bark when he comes to pay his visits, no matter how unorthodox and unplanned they were.

"Well," Yukimura glances at his watch, absent-mindedly playing with the edge of the brightly colored envelope in his hand, "I hope she gets up soon; I'd rather not linger outside too long either."

Saeki cradles the neatly wrapped box carefully in his hands. "Likewise. Still, Niou-kun says she's a morning person so…"

As the scent of the roses under his arm begin to permeate the morning, Niou glances at the window and grins to himself.

Not long now.



Happy birthday, Sera.




That being said, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, futomimii!!!! ♥♥ ♥ *THROWS CONFETTI AND STUFF*

I'm sorry that all I could do was churn out a crappy drabble; I hope you like it anyway, hahaha. 8D And remember, DON'T SOOCIDE THIS YEAR! 8DDDD


Also, HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY TO yuu_chan~!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ *THROWS EVEN _MORE_ CONFETTI*

Hope the both of you have an amazing year ahead of you~ ^______^

After marathoning what carneaglariel gave to me (THANK YOU SO MUCH, JAC'KEE T^T ♥);

AIR GEAR IS SO MUCH ♥

I won't even attempt to be coherent, because I'm beyond that at the moment, but this manga is made of awesome, period. => I'mg going to have to keep up with this manga; does anyone know where I can download the latest chapters?

Although my brain breaks trying to comprehend why one of my favorite characters who is of questionable sexuality and behavior at some points is one of my favorite characters in the first place. Oh Aeon Clock, whhhhhyyyyy?......*clutches head*

Uni's been interesting so far; I can't tell if the lecturers are amused by us or just plain irritated at our antics. Huh.

Short drabble, spur of the moment.

Greyscale

He thinks that if you're not in Rikkai, then you're the enemy, point blank. And as the enemy, you should lose because the good guys always win. That's the way it is in his favorite cartoons anyway.

Beside him, Renji chuckles, amusement coloring his voice in shades of wry as he says it's not always that clear-cut, Akaya. And enemy is spelt with an 'e', not 'a'.

(He grumbles and rubs it blank again, sticking his tongue out at his senior when he's not looking before returning to his grammar exercises with a vengeance.)

owari

PS: Only the possibility of that happening has been relatively high, and Renji assigns Akaya more work because he can and Akaya could use the extra practice.

And now, MEME TIME (taken from ai_ling:

( I'm special because I like Pop'n Music 8D )

Also known as 'The Plunny Fic that ran off with Axtar's Brain.' 8D

*flops over* This fic idea snagged me when I was playing Pop'n Music and refused to let go for the past couple of days. Now that it's done, maybe I can go back to properly concentrating on homework. Thanks, yuncyn, for letting me rant to you about this idea/pester you with excerpts!

This is also the longest fic I've written to date by a mile at least. ^^;; Everytime I tried to end it, it just kept dragging itself longer and longer until...well, until it reached this length. An accomplishment for me, especially taking into consideration I don't write Seigaku fics often.

Give me a heads-up if there's OOC-ness; characterizing the Seigaku members, especially the Ichinen trio, was tricky.

Also, random trivia: This whole fic was written with 'Wish' by Olivia on loop; surprisingly enough, I'm not sick of the song yet. ♥ (Heck, I'm still looping it.)

EDITEI: Oh, and in case any one's wondering why Tezuka and Fuji are in the same class when they aren't, canon-wise, I'm calling in AU liberties here. XD

Tezuka, Echizen, Fuji, AU; Seigaku's third-year tennis players as first-years and vice versa, gen, 8065 words. Feedback of any kind appreciated muchly. ^^
