( 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 )

Note: Now with doodles a kindergartener would do!

I said it to Sydney several times, but I think I should repeat this here too:

Seto is for Kisara and Kaiba is for Mokuba. The end.
At least, until the Anti-OTP challenge came along. So yes, see my brain leak out of my ears as I try to write this. I just couldn't do it! I've come up with scenarios detailing how I'll self-destruct this pair, but whatever I did, my hands couldn't type it down. What resulted is the stitled proof of my squemish attempt at masochism.

( Where Mokuba realizes maybe he's not the most important one anymore. )

Yes, Sydney, I promised the VS/YGO, but your namesake said he was not there to promote the wanton and excess overflow of angst for the pair, and thus I had to improvise. XD
