Harry Potter   short ficlet thing, about candy
Lupin/Tonks

Some days are bad.  Some days are worse than others.  And some days are those wretched, feel-like-gunk-on-the-bottom-of-the-world's-shoe, crawl-under-a-rock, rain cloud-over-the-head, HORRIBLE sort of days.

Nymphadora Tonks had been blessed with one of those days.

It wasn't as though she hadn't ( Read more... )

Yugioh   an "ICOE" 19 piece(s) (and accompanying rant)
Seto/Anzu

v.5
Seto had discovered long ago that leisure time did not agree with him.  He had no real hobbies apart from dueling, and anything that kept him from work irritated him far more than it relieved stress.  In fact, any and all attempts to coerce him into taking more time off were usually ( Read more... )

Bleach    one-shot, "Devotion"
Urahara/Yoruichi

When they first met,  he was small and scrawny with dirty knees and an inquisitve mind.  He'd lead her off on grand adventures, far beyond the decadent surroundings she was used to.

And he may have grown, but he kept the inquisitive mind.

It was what she was cursing most when, pale as ash and weary, he ( Read more... )

Bleach   new idea - possibly... one-shot?
implied Byakuya/Renji

Kuchiki Byakuya looked at his sister, hardly believing he was in such a situation.  Beside her, that foul Kurosaki boy was smirking gleefully, relishing the squad six captain's embarrassment far more than he should.

"What?"

Rukia sighed.  "It's okay, nii-sama.  I'm... fine with this."  ( Read more... )

Bleach   unfinished one-shot
Urahara/Yoruichi; one sided Soi Fong/Yoruichi

The long, thick mane of hair fell down Yoruichi's back as she unbound it.  "Are you sure you don't mind?" she asked.  "It's a big chore."

Soi Fong shook her head, fingering the heavy ivory comb with some trepidation.  "N-no, I don't mind, Yoruichi-sama.  Anything to help you ( Read more... )

Bleach a complete one-shot
Isshin and daughters, Urahara

"This is stupid," Karin muttered to Yuzu as they walked down the sidewalk a few feet behind their father.  "Why did Dad insist on this stupid shopping trip anyway?  We haven't even bought anything - we haven't even gone into a single store yet."

"You didn't have to come," Yuzu reminded her ( Read more... )

Bleach   short piece, maybe of one-shot
Kyouraku Shunsui/Ise Nanao

She stopped suddenly.  Had that been her name?  She moved towards the door, listening intently.  Why in the world had they been talking about her?

"It's true!"  That was Ukitake-taichou's voice.  She knelt down right in front of the door.  "I suppose you can't see it because you're so ( Read more... )

Bleach    piece of potential future one-shot
Renji/Tatsuki

"Yo - Ichigo!"

The eldest Kurosaki child stared at the sixth division's vice-captain with a look of total indifference.  "Renji.  What the hell are you doing here?"

Renji pushed inside the room.  "Just... wanted to check up on things.  You know.  Make sure you're... not having any problems."  ( Read more... )

Yugioh   Possible "ICOE" later chp. bit
Seto/Anzu

Anzu smiled and snuggled further into Seto.  "Of course.  I'm not saying that I'm unhappy.  It's just..."  She ran her hand gently up and down his chest as she spoke.  "Well..."

"Just what?" he asked, rather impatiently.  He was tired and more than ready for sleep.

"I don't know.  I guess that since ( Read more... )

Yugioh   "ICOE" Chp. 19 Second Scene Piece
Jounouchi/Mai

Jounouchi smiled an easy, goofy grin that held nothing more than happiness.  "Nothing's wrong, Mai - I was just thinking."

"Well that's new," she said, rubbing moisturizer on as she started intently at the mirror, studying her reflection.  "Thinking about something... important?"

"Well no; I mean ( Read more... )
