Fic: Something I Can Never Have (Bakuman)

: kyuuketsukirui; January 1st, 15:18

Something I Can Never Have
~2000 words :: adult :: Bakuman :: Mashiro/Takagi :: 12/25/08
Akito's pretty sure there's never a good time to tell your best friend you've had the hots for him forever.

( See, this. This is exactly the sort of thing Akito doesn't need to see. )

Notes: Thank you to

helens78 and

mbeasi for the extreme last-minute betas.

If you're not familiar with the fandom and still would like to read it (it's the sort of typical teenage boy fic I usually write), this is what I wrote up about the fandom when I sent it to

helens78 to beta, and she said she was able to read it with that background.

( Quick summary of the manga. )

Fic: Torako & Wrestling (Yotsuba&!)

: kyuuketsukirui; January 1st, 14:57

Torako & Wrestling
~600 words :: Yotsuba&! :: Torako/Asagi :: 12/25/08
Asagi motions Yotsuba over and says in a stage whisper, "I hear Torako's weakness is tickles."

( ''You sure no one's going to interrupt?'' Torako murmurs, glancing over at the open bedroom door. )

Notes: I've wanted to write Yotsuba&! fic since last Yuletide (especially either Torako/Asagi or Ena/Miura), and had noted

kanna_ophelia's request as a possible NYR fic, but then of course never got around to writing any NYRs. Well, she requested the same thing this year, so when I saw it on the Treats list, I knew I had to write it! I tried to write it just as if it were a chapter of the manga, and followed the titling conventions, though using Torako's name because she's the POV character.

Fic: Different for Girls

: kyuuketsukirui; September 18th, 2008

Different for Girls
~200 words :: Stargate: Atlantis :: Teyla :: 9/18/08
She remembers sitting high up on her father's shoulders, small hands fisted in a cloud of dark curls, her own hair braided so tightly it made her scalp ache.

( She remembers the day the braids were shorn off... )

Notes: Written for

lunabee34's women and their hair fest.

Fic: You've Written Your Own Directions (And Whistled the Rules of Change)

: kyuuketsukirui; August 31st, 2008

You've Written Your Own Directions (And Whistled the Rules of Change)
~2500 words :: adult :: Stargate: Atlantis :: John/Rodney :: 6/27/08
Rodney's main criteria when browsing personals is intelligence, or at least the appearance thereof. Correct spelling and grammar, that sort of thing. As it happens, this narrows down the field considerably.

( The patented Rodney McKay charm can be lethal in large doses. )

Notes: Thanks to

helens78 for the beta. This was written for the "skin deep" prompt for

mcshep_match (Team Away). Commentary for the story can be found here.

A soundtrack is available as well (if you can't access it on Megaupload, let me know and I'll upload it to my server):

Fic: Sleeping Underneath Your Skin

: kyuuketsukirui; May 31st, 2008

music:: Counting Crows - Along December

Sleeping Underneath Your Skin
~1900 words :: Harry Potter :: Ginny/Harry :: 5/31/08
There are a lot of things Ginny tries not to think about. If she told someone that, they'd probably think she meant the war, maybe especially sixth year. Or Fred's death. Or the whole thing with Tom Riddle's diary. Well, there are things she doesn't like to think about with the diary, but it's not what people expect.

( She doesn't think about the few years before Ron hit his growth spurt, when the two of them were nearly as identical as the twins. She'd cut her hair, put on Ron's jumper, and she'd be free. )

Notes: DH-compliant (including epilogue). Thanks to

helens78 for the beta. Written for

lgbtfest with the following prompt (highlight to read): Ginny has always thought of herself as a tomboy, but what happens when she begins to wonder if she's just a boy? Will Harry stand by her, and how will they negotiate this change?

Fic: Shifting Reality (Best Imitation of Myself Remix)

: kyuuketsukirui; April 28th, 2008

Shifting Reality (Best Imitation of Myself Remix)
~1200 words :: adult :: Stargate: Atlantis :: John/Rodney :: 4/28/08
That's what he decided the universe is like, folded up like a fan, and you can spread it out or close it up, and when it's closed that's when you can shift.

( It probably isn't the first time. After all, the first memory you have of someone doesn't mean they didn't exist before. But the first time John remembers it happening is when he was six. )

Notes: Thanks to

telesilla,

zillah975, and

helens78 for the last-minute betaing. This is a remix of [shift] Reality by

gblvr, written for

remixredux08. Commentary can be found here.

Fic: Rest Stop (I Knew You When Remix)

: kyuuketsukirui; April 26th, 2008

Rest Stop (I Knew You When Remix)
~1200 words :: Supernatural :: Sam, Dean :: 4/26/08
Maybe it's not fair to have this conversation now when Dean can't even get up by himself, but Sam doesn't care.

( It's the easiest job they've had in months, right up until a little girl comes flying out of the kitchen, knife in hand, and practically guts Dean before Sam can pull her off him. )

Notes: Thanks to

helens78 and

telesilla for the extremely last-minute betaing. This is a remix of

merryish's Rest Stop - Near Leland, Mississippi, written for

remixredux08. Commentary for the story can be found here.

Fic: Morning Sunlight (Hikaru no Go)

: kyuuketsukirui; March 28th, 2008

music:: Spitz - Fujimi no Venus

Morning Sunlight
100 words :: Hikaru no Go :: Hikaru/Akira :: 3/28/08
It's weird the things that make him think of Sai.

( Not go, not really. )

Notes: Written for the inaugural drabble challenge at yugen_no_ma. The prompt was "sunbeam".

Fic: Team Q

: kyuuketsukirui; March 22nd, 2008

Team Q
~600 words :: Harry Potter :: Dean/Seamus :: 03/22/08
A year ago he and Seamus had been kicking around, still at a loose end with no more school, no more war, and no plans beyond either for what they wanted to do with their lives.

( And then one day Seamus picked up a sketch off the kitchen table, laughed, and said, ''What's this, Quidditch-playing superheroes?'' )

Notes: Thanks to

helens78 for the beta. Written as a pinch hit for axial_tilt.

Fic: No Rules for This

: kyuuketsukirui; March 8th, 2008

You really, really do not need to know the fandom to read this. Seriously, it's set post-canon and pretty much everything you need to know is in the fic itself. Think of it as original fiction about a guy who just happens to have a talking pet. (Said talking pet looks like this, if you're curious.) Also you'll need to know that in Japan, Valentine's Day is a really one-sided (and heteronormative) affair, where only girls give chocolate to guys.

No Rules for This
~2000 words :: Digimon :: Daisuke/Ken :: 03/08/08
The thing about being a guy and buying chocolates on Valentine's Day is it's kind of like having a big flashing sign over your head saying "I'm gay".

( There's no rules for this, or if there are, he doesn't know them. )

Notes: Thanks to

helens78 for the beta. Written for 2nd IJ Porn Battle, though like last time, I uh, fail at including anything even approaching porn.

14valentines Day 5: Fic: The Weight Upon Your Kiss Ambiguous (Harry Potter)

: kyuuketsukirui; February 5th, 2008

music:: Golf & Mike - Seng

Today's

14valentines theme is sexuality, and I'm taking a break from the recs to post fic! That actually fits the theme! Woohoo!

The Weight Upon Your Kiss Ambiguous
~900 words :: adult :: Hary Potter :: Lily/James, James/Sirius :: 2/5/08
Pregnancy hasn't made her a delicate flower; she's never been a delicate flower. Why can't James see that?

( She thinks of the way James is with her, the way he's *always* been with her, so gentle she could scream. )

Notes: Thanks to

helens78 for the beta. ( Why I chose to write this for today's theme. )

Fic: Someone That I Could Never Be

: kyuuketsukirui; January 15th, 2008

music:: The Killers - Uncle Johnny

Someone That I Could Never Be
~1500 words :: Ewan McGregor/Christian Bale :: 1/15/08
Ewan and Christian haven't got much in common, neither have Ewan and his brother. In the end, it doesn't really matter.

( Christian is tall. This means he doesn't get his arse kicked for being English or for his mum being a clown. Ewan has got his arse kicked for being Ewan. )

Notes: Thanks to

helens78 for the beta. This was written for

absolutefiction's prompt of "Ewan McGregor/Christian Bale, youth/parents' house au". However, I went way over the word limit (they're supposed to be able to fit within one comment) and also there never was anything even approaching porn, so I didn't post it there.

( More detailed notes and blathering about the story. )

Fic: The Policeman Officer's Seduction

: kyuuketsukirui; January 1st, 2008

music:: Live - Overcome

The Policeman Officer's Seduction
~800 words :: Hot Fuzz :: Danny/Nicholas :: 1/1/08
You ask someone back to yours after a night at the pub, that's pretty clichéd, isn't it? And what could be more romantic than Point Break? But Nicholas just doesn't seem to get it.

( How can someone so brilliant be so fucking thick? )

Notes: Massive thanks to

helens78 for the frantic betaing (and for the line about cranberry juice that everyone loved). Written for

kassrachel for Yuletide 2007.

: kyuuketsukirui; January 1st, 2008

music:: Live - Overcome

Pipe Dreams
~500 words :: adult :: Nana :: Nana/Ren, Nana/Hachi :: 1/1/08
It's not the first time she's dreamed about Hachi like that. It doesn't mean anything. It's just dreams. Your mind does weird stuff.

( ''What kind of nightmare was it? Should I start showing you horror flicks to get you hot?'' )

Notes: Thanks to

helens78 for the beta. Written for

oyceter for Yuletide 2007.

music:: Live - Overcome

INSECURITY COMICS
~400 words :: Dinosaur Comics :: 1/1/08
T-Rex feels insecure about his tiny arms after someone makes fun of him.

( In the original text form. )

( In comic form. )

Notes: Written for

insptr_penguin for Yuletide 2007.

lcsbanana also made a comicised version of the first one here, along with an icon, both of which were very exciting. :D But I'm kind of anal, so I re-did the first one with the proper font. ^_^;;
