about to crawl into bed early, for a change, as I officially did not sleep on Thursday evening - went to bed at about 4 in the morning (because when I got home early to begin my three day weekend, I crashed into my bed for a two hour nap). Sleep, it's what's for dinner.
But a happy early 4th of July to my fellow Americans and any one who just wants an excuse to light up fireworks, drink sangria and lemonade and roast dead beasts on fire pits...and lovers of independence, obviously.
I am continuing my epic Atashinchi no Danshi rewatch (the last episode! She is soft-subbed, and I'm assuming the hardsubs will now arrive in one complete batch?)
I still need to post the second part of my Sho/Chisato squeecapspam (now with extra PS paint arrows!), commentary on the finale, and of course, finishing the commentathon.
A teaser for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

and a bit from my sequel to Some kind of happily ever after.

good night, try not to set yourselves or any free-standing wooden attractions on fire.

[1] A house is not a home
[2] Little Boxes
[3] Happy Family
[4] And I believe this is what they call the chase
[5]These broken days won't last forever
[6] Some kind of happily ever after
All are one shots, with the exception of 5, which may be expanded further. All are finished, with varying degrees of gen and shippiness, and 6 is an ode to the almighty OT7 (you will be assimilated). Oh, and of course I'm still working on finishing the prompts in my comment ficathon in an earlier entry. :D
However you spell it, the Ohkuras are the most awesome family ever.
ETA: like Shark Week, it's Atadan week in my LJ. I'm sure this mania will pass....like the sands through an hourglass.

Atashinchi no Danshi comment ficpalooza. Request and receive.
Tell your friends, and I will write you comment fic.
I should have been more specific (read: less lazy). Give me a prompt and then I will write you comment fic.
oh week. You and I were getting along so well, and then today my car battery dies in the parking lot at work, I pay an obscenely unfair (IMO) price for the AAA battery, and now I'm poor and making cookies out of anger. Or maybe making cookies because my unhappiness at the petty annoyances in life needs sugar.
I've been really tired for some odd reason - I conked out at around 9:40 pm last night and slept the whole night through, but then at work, I kept on zoning out and catching myself awake - er, nodding off and then waking up really alarmed.
Like, I'm still at work? STILL?
Anyway, my most recent fannish bits of glee.
1. And I believe this is what they call the chase A Sho/Chisato drabble, because well, they have CONSUMED my brain. It was an unexpected delight in a gen pudding of hilarious family hijinks.
2. these broken days won't last forever, part one of a series of stories, very much with S/C in mind. But first let me talk about how much I dig his ex-wife/girlfriend.
3. Mukai Osamu's appearance on OSHAREISM with the preternaturally young Fujiki Naohito and the two other hosts. I have two words for you: HAND PORN. He has beautiful hands, the kind of hands that I somehow always associated with musicians (read: pianists and harpists) and always coveted. Alas, my peasant genes won out, and I do not have graceful fingers at all.
And also: Osamu/Alpaca. Their love is not to be DENIED.
4. Atashinchi no Danshi episode 9 : no, my battleship has not sunk. D knows when I nearly had a flail storm over the fact that Cute Guy ran after Maki's bus in Innocent Love - because yes I may scorn most 'pure love' stories, hate on the more treacley, obvious lifetime movie event moments in romance, but sometimes all a girl wants is a guy to run after her bus. Or train. I also accept running after a bicycle, but it better be raining.
( have a discarded Atadan ficbit -- nope, I'm not continuing it, it was a rough draft )

FIC: True North (Nobuta wo Produce)
Dec. 19th, 2007 09:59 pmTitle: True North (1/1)
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters, NTV, the original author of the novel do, but this is based on the dorama.
Rating: G
Genre: Gen, and if you squint, you could certainly take away some 'shippiness from it.
Notes: This is more of a drabble, and in a fandom I've loved, but never written for.

Title: And I don't know why I ache for you

When Sano looks at her, really looks, he can't understand how he could have mistaken her for a boy. Mizuki's face is soft and round where a boy's would be lean, her neck a perfect smooth arch. All of her physical features are on the delicate side, to her thin tapered fingers, the curve of her mouth and the way the tips of her eyelashes fan out against her cheeks.
He knows she would blush if she knew what he was thinking, so he keeps his gazes covert, but he can't miss the way Nakatsu looks at her, his heart evident in his eyes. It makes Sano's own heart beat a little faster, the need to draw Mizuki nearer.
When she can't come and see him participate in the preliminary rounds for the Nationals, because of a missed essay, he's disappointed, but not as much as Mizuki is. She hits her fist against the desk and swears, which makes him laugh.
Later, when the lights are dimmed and he can just make out Mizuki's form moving in the dark, he says, “Are you asleep?” at the same time she asks, “Sano, are you asleep?”
She giggles, and then coughs, trying to turn it into a more manly sounding chuckle, and Sano grins.
“No,” he answers. “You know I'll be gone for a week, right?”
“Yes.” Her tone is cautious.
“If you get lonely....you can always call me. Or, you could always...”
“Yeah?” Mizuki prompts.
“You could sleep in my bed,” Sano finishes in a rush, and is thankful for the dark, because he can feel the blush settling on his cheeks and burning the tips of his ears. “If you want.”
Silence from Mizuki, and Sano wonders if she can hear the pounding of his heart, a steady drum beat of want.
“I'd like that,” she says, and even though he can't see her face, he imagines she's smiling.

ETA: Yeah, this was supposed to be on 07.07.07, but that didn't quite happen.
You know, what I wanted to post here today was a picture, a picture of Kurosagi and Tsurara on their wedding day. Because yes, he's messed up, obsessed with revenge to the exclusion of almost everything else, and she desperately wants to save him from himself, and damn it, those two crazy kids are in love with each other, even if Kurosaki would rather cut out his own tongue then admit to it, and Tsurara has sleepless nights over words she should have/shouldn't have said, and they're not conventional in any sense - but I can't help but think that despite all of that, Kurosaki's got a traditional streak running through him a mile long and sooner or later, he'd ask The Question.
And since today has been dubbed unofficially The One Day where (nearly) everyone gets married because of the lucky connotations, I thought, how perfect. Tsurara would be wearing a red cheongsam (because occasionally I like to give a shout out to my Chinese roots) with the gold phoenix (ooooo symbolism. Also, really pretty - I love wedding cheongsams.) and Kurosaki would be wearing his standard black, except he would have a red tie that matched Tsurara's cheongsam. And they would be hugging each other, REAL HUGGING and not pseudo barely touching enough to drive the ANGST FACTOR through the roof, and Tsurara would be looking over her shoulder and smiling, and Kurosaki's chin would be resting on top of her head and he would have his eyes closed and there would just be this peaceful look on his face, and now I am incoherent to the point of tears, because my drawing ability has degenerated to nil and I can SEE THIS IN MY HEAD. And it's so frustating that I can't make the image in my head correspond to the lines on the paper!
Never mind the 'entirely too emotionally invested in fake people and their fake epic love' dilemna - hell, I still carry a torch for Laurie/Jo from Little Women, and we all know how that turned out.
So I couldn't do my picture on today's date. But then, Kurosaki doesn't believe in luck.
So I wrote a little scenario for their (fake) wedding day.
Yeah, I know. Just go with it.

It is as always, allkitsune714's fault. The song that inspired the title is Interlude by Timi Yuro, though most people would be familiar with the Morrissey and Siouxsie Sioux cover. Both versions found here.

an interlude 1/?
Jun. 19th, 2007 03:51 pmEven though she is far away enjoying herself (as she should be), and there has been no contact between us, I would still like to state for the record, that this? and the upcoming future posts, are all kitsune714's fault. ALL OF IT.
In my usual non-linear way, I'm posting an interlude from the longer story, which is basically the premise that the "K" in Kurosagi really stands for Korean drama, and you know what that means: death and CRYING. However, Kurosaki and Tsurara are definitely not related, not even as cousins. For my non-kdrama friends, Korean drama is like Lifetime movies of the week for women, only with better production values, better acting (most of the time), and a lot more cancer. And mafia. And really improbable shoes for the women. And often lasting longer than two hours.
But on to the interlude!
FIC: No good deed (title of entire story, not just the interlude)
Notes: Absolutelykitsune714's fault. Except perhaps even she wouldn't have thought I'd go this particular route.
Summary: Even Kurosaki knows a fairytale or two.
