Was trying to come up with ideas for minibang and this happened instead. OTL Next on the agenda really has to be study but asdfklsjf what is this miraculous 14th episode of Baccano! about? I thought the series was over but egads I'm all for a second seasonnnn. 3radicated, have you seen it yet? Anyone else into Baccano!?!

Title: Intimacy Along a Wire
Characters/Pairing: Reborn/Lambo, Gokudera
Word Count: 353
Excerpt: "Like Tsuna, there is something about Lambo that can't be trusted to save itself."

( In which no-longer-Arcobaleno!Reborn denies any denial on his part and Gokudera admires the irony. )

Hello to milkfed and neneno. ♥ Sorry to be throwing you into the angstpot by way of introduction but ahaha, purple prose and emo is what I'm made of I just can't help myself when it comes to Reborn.

Speaking of:

GAMMA: I'm gonna show you the door to heaven bb~

TRUFAX.

Title: Haze
Characters/Pairing: Yamamoto, Gokudera. Gen.
Word Count: 346
Excerpt: "It's on the third day that he stumbles into Gokudera's territory to discover him hiccuping into the dining table."

( We have general TYL spoilage. )

- Post a list of 20 15 fandoms.
- Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each one.
- When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character. [Uh, most likely it'll end up being more like a paragraph. XD]

( You know you want toooo. 8D )

5927. Uh, before my fellow 8059 fans run for the hills, it's really quite tame. Mostly introspection because I fail and just can't get my head around Gokudera topping that particular relationship. But TYL!2759 I could actually believe (if anyone wants to point me in the right direction? I think I've only read one before).

Title: Growing Pains
Characters/Pairings: Gokudera/Tsuna
Word Count: 329. Another short one.
Excerpt: "If there’s anything Gokudera is heir to, it’s the knowledge that love and the wrong person can really screw you over."

( Please excuse the obvious title. OTL )

They will try to tell you that your toast is burnt, that your top is too bright, that you smile too much or dream too much and this is the part where you say STFU, I’ll do whatever I please. But only sometimes, because they have a dozen nasty words to call someone like you and your skin is not as thick as you’d like.

I’m craving sesame biscuits. I also think I may have flunked accounting.

Anyway, I've had a while to mope. This is something I scribbled today. It’s been ages since I've posted fic. It's been ages since I've posted anything. My brain is mushified.

Title: Trespasser
Characters/Pairing: Shamal, Gokudera
Word Count: 320. Yes. So short that I’m too embarrassed to cross-post. |D
Excerpt: "Shamal smells of perfume as habitually as he smells of blood; there is always tobacco, and Gokudera never asks."

( Someone needs to write a fic about Shamal and Gokkun's mum. Unfortunately, this isn't it. )

Late Tia is late. I‘m only just getting into the anime of last year (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Darker than Black, Ghost Hound, Gurren Lagann) and there’s already a whole stack of stuff that’s being subbed for 2008 (Shigofumi, Soul Eater, Persona?), not to mention all the manga I’ve been meaning to catch up on - Bleach, I’m looking at you - and everything I’ve had sitting on the backburner. *doooom*

You know, I woke up today and decided I prefer Marmon to Mammon, inexplicably. And speaking of Reborn:

( This way for spoilery thoughts on Target 187! 8D )

PS. ricordi!!! I saw partly NSFW Xanxus/Squalo, and thought of you. XD

In headaches and in worry
Vaguely life leaks away,
And Time will have his fancy
To-morrow or to-day.
The truth is I changed persons and tenses a couple of times before settling on second, present, so, haha, please tell me if you see anything odd. In relation to the title, 16.5 degrees is fairly chilly for the hotter months around here (I SPEAK NOT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN ICELAND).

Inspired by the above snippet from the poem As I Walked Out One Evening by Wystan Hugh Auden. For arrankaara because you are sweet and talented and asjksdjksl; drew me Gokuderaaa. <33

Title: 16.5°C
Characters/Pairing: 8059
Word Count: 787
Excerpt: "Close quarters means sharing, even the things you’d rather keep to yourself – that last bit of disinfectant at the bottom of the bottle, toothpaste, nightmares, hope."

( Alludes to character death from the Future Arc. )

I seem to have misplaced my voice. Target 186 was released this morning which made me feel a bit better about it (RYOHEI=INSTANTFANGIRLMUSH) but voices are not supposed to run away from you for no good reason. The weather hasn't even turned yet.

Anyway, not being able to say anything got me into my Gokudera mood. This one's about Gokkun!maman. Not outright sad; more resigned, if anything.

Title: Twigs of Trees
Characters/Pairing: Gen. Gokudera's mother in the three years she's given.
Word Count: 439
Excerpt: “She never hoped to be accepted into their House, not through those doors, the stretch of lawn and snaking driveway between her and them.”

( General spoilers for Gokudera's past. )

To make up for my recent lack of Yamamoto, I bring TYL!angst of the 8059 variety, with just a touch of Reborn/Lambo. As usual, Gokudera has managed to land a starring role with very little effort. It’s slightly AU – basically a ‘what if they were never rescued by their younger selves?’ scenario. Not particularly happy, as you can imagine.

Title: Dealing
Characters/Pairing: 8059
Word Count: 565
Excerpt: “Things don't grow well underground, and Yamamoto has yet to meet any flower that flourishes in the face of Bianchi’s soup.”

( General spoilers for the Future Arc. )
