( The winter comes, with frigid winds that leaves frost on the bare branches. )

The bad part is I've come up with a terrible rock band!AU and a fantasy AU for the twenty themes I did not pick for the main story. I tried to piece together a coherent "Oh, this is how they fell in love and fell apart" story for Deathmask and Aphrodite, and somehow smuttiness had worked its way in. I have breathplay and semi-public frottage listed down, and then there's bondage, threesome, and noncon over at the rockband!AU. I'm dreading what'll come up for the fantasy one. Crossdressing's sure to be there, at least. The thought of 'Dite in a ruffled ball gown gathered around his waist is the only reason I'm rereading bodice rippers. *coughs* Yes, I'm just educating myself over how you're supposed to throw someone over the field of heather when you want to have your dastardly way with them. I'm not thinking of making a crossdressing!romance novel Snupin, oh no, someone else have done it before!

*headdesks* Puppies. I hate puppies.

Demian Syndrome is bad for my health. I was attempting to draw young Snape, and a few lines into the sketch I realized the boy wearing the Anarchy shirt was Sirius Black. Damn, blast, hell and damnation! so went I, so I opted to finish off the set with mischievous!James, tired!Remus, and a rather ambiguous Peter. I never could draw him right - he just doesn't register in my radar. So to appease my Snape muse I tried drawing him again - and this time Regulus insisted to be drawn beside him. Regulus looks way too pretty for my taste, which is strange, since his brother looks manly. Apparently, in my world, MWPP era Snape was Regulus's tutor for a few subjects, and Regulus treats him like a cross between confidante and cousin. Regulus was the one who insisted Snape has to tie his hair back during their tutoring sessions, and Snape reluctantly complied. O_o;

So, here I am, with a freaky MWPP era fic where Sirius hates Severus for influencing (I think the word "corrupting" was bandied about) Regulus, Regulus is a funny, sweet and slightly unhinged version of his brother, Peter is a neurotic twit, and Lily is Loved By All. And did I say Regulus and Severus have the weirdest OOC conversations in my head?

Regulus: Severus, I have a canker sore again! It hurts!
Severus: Here. *hands over a bottle* Drink this.
Regulus: All right. *drinks* Fuck that stings! What the hell is it?!
Severus: Extract of Citrus sinensis mixed with two parts of the universal solvent. In short, orange juice. The muggles believe that Vitamin C deficiency leads to an increase in canker sores.
Regulus: That is so not true! I just need something for this sore. Don't you have some canker sore healer potion or anything like it?
Severus: If I did, I would sell it to the muggles. Just gargle with the usual concoction I made. And stop biting the inside of your cheek when you see your brother.
Regulus: But he's such an ass sometimes!
Severus: I know. But I don't worry myself sick about it.

*headdesks* I'm supposed to be writing DEATH GAMES, for Chrissakes, not a screwed up version of HP in the seventies. >_< And I still have those two bunnies o' doom I mentioned to osmalic a while back.

( Because they're pretty painful )

Saving because I might forget them later.

[1] The little pinwheels in Shunsui's hair came from Zaraki's kawaii companion, Yachiru-chan, and actually Shunsui only received one, because Nanao got the other. Moment where Nanao just stared at it. ^^; Then she hands it over to Shunsui saying she had no need for it.

[2] Shunsui is drunk from some wine he got as a gift. Nanao clucks over him worried, saying that he shouldn't get people who care about him to worry so much. Shunsui (competely soused) says this was the only time when Nanao actually cared for him. *weeps*

...to the point of making icons for this lj. Someone stop me from making icons! *bangs head against the wall*

Ideas for a Sakende Yaruze fic
- voice : concerning Tenryu's comment on Nakaya's voice - one of the things that Tenryu loved about Shino is his voice, and that sets up a train of thought that can only be called disturbing for Shino. But Tenryu, discovering his partner's troubled thoughts, tries to set him straight. (HOW?)
- Akihi has a dead lover. Reflections on letting go.
- (I find it funny that Kousuke's seme in my mind....) He gets Mizusawa away from his fiancee, and when Mizusawa asks why he did that he just says something along the lines of "You're an idiot! You ought to know why by now!"
- Mizusawa and the water metahpor - how he lets himself be carried by the flow of events, not realizing that he can't always just let his life flow in such a way - but he only finds out when he met Shino and Kousuke. X_x (Actually, Kousuke's pushing - pulling all throughout this in my mind.)

There were words running in my head again, just random words. I'm starting to wonder who these belonged to.

It amused him to render them glassy-eyed from the pain - to make them feel the sweet tinge of pleasure amidst the exquisite torture. But he would look up with those wide knowing eyes, tunneling into his mind, trying to claim all about him.

And there was something about blindfolding said him so those eyes wouldn't see anymore. =_='
