I've posted Chapter 7 for Ornament of no intact personality on 04-25-09 and forgot to mention it somehow. I've been losing flame for most of my stories but hopefully I could start writing something new while revising/proofreading the published ones. Baby steps, Harley, baby steps. I'm not so scared of writer's block anymore. Is this what you call

Yay, I'm so glad to see the continuation of this story! Inui and Agano's interaction is especially fabulous, of course. They're very... sexy together. >D;;; And I love the way Fuji acts here, too. And Inui's birthday was on June 3, so this chapter is very appropriate in all ways. ^_^

You really think Iku and Inui together are 'sexy'? So how about it? Should Tezuka still be Iku's main interest? I'd really like to know how you think I'm going with this. I'm already writing Chapter 8 (another Inui chapter) and there would be more interaction between Iku and him. Tezuka's will be on 9 and that is another, er, sensual (?) chapter.

Wah, sorry for the late comment! I wasn't feeling well yesterday and failed to reply to the comments properly. ;;; Anyway... I honestly can't choose between Inui x Iku and Tezuka x Iku. xD;;; Both pairings are fascinating in different ways. OT3? Although I guess I want Tezuka to remain Iku's main interest. Um... how should I explain it... I have a feeling, especially after this chapter, that it's a bit easier for Inui to deal with Iku than it is for Tezuka, while Tezuka is... more bothered by it all, I think? And I like this kind of tension. |D;;; I'm not saying that Inui x Iku is not interesting though, of course.

I'm lost as to how to define Inui and Iku's relationship. With Tezugano, I so can see them, you know, getting it on. But with Inugano, I think it's more..mental. Especially during this chapter while they were having dinner, the attraction is subtle because both want to see which one of them will make a move first. Inui keeps insinuating while Iku keeps him guessing. And the expression Curiosity kills the cat and how Iku brags that if there's no possibility of danger, they wouldn't even get involved with each other, holds Inugano's relationship to be...I dunno, troubling? Is that the right word?

My version of Inui in this fic is he's fairly deceptive and mature, much more emotionally and sexually mature than Tezuka, who is a repressed sweetheart on the verge of giving into his desires. It'd be interesting if Iku, who will be (soon) engaging with Tezuka physically, tries the same thing with Inui. Which would lead to an OT3.

What do you think about that?
