黑暗中的歌声

Day 06. A guilty pleasure fic

The La Beneamata series by myself & asukajude (Football RPS, Matthäus/Klinsmann, Beckenbauer/Cruyff)

For so many reasons. So many. All those plot bunnies which may never see the light of day...


Day 07. A fic with a wonderful kiss

I almost never remember any kissing scene—as in, I know kissing must have been involved at some point, I just don’t remember any of its particulars. Having said this, although I’m trying my hardest to not re-nominate any of fics already mentioned in this meme from 4 years ago, I’ll have to go with….

the bridge or the pulley by michi_thekiller (Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy VIII, Seifer/Squall, Leon/Seifer)

And one day, this boy would be big and tall and muscular, harsh in his beauty, and strong, certainly strong enough to press one against a wall in a deep green garden, to be tongue and teeth and not to listen so well when one said no because there was a yes folded inside of it.

Just one of the many parts of that glorious fic that has always stuck in my head. :P


Day 08. A fic you plan on reading (old or new)

Kissing Gourami by草加ミチル (Prince of Tennis, Atobe/Tezuka)

Gakuto and Ryou’s POV on Atobe and Tezuka. The last time I read this it wasn’t completed yet I think. Some parts of it, OMGOMGOMG.

手塚の黒い目がゆっくりと動いて、俺の目を見下ろす。
感情の見えないその目は何故だか物言わぬ恐竜を連想させる。
古い、古い時代の、数億年の長い時を生きた種族。


Day 09. A fic that makes you happy

I don’t even remember the name or the author of this tiny gem of a fic but it ALWAYS cracks me (and whomever I’m describing it to) up….

It’s a present-day Arthur/Merlin fic. The idea is that Merlin, after all these years, has FINALLY found Arthur’s reincarnation (you know, once and future king and all). So Merlin’s all like, MY KING let us work together to bring England back to Glory (yes with a capital G)! And the young Arthur goes, YEAH TOTALLY I’M GONNA START BY CAPTAINING THE FOOTBALL TEAM TO BECOME WORLD CHAMPIONS BECAUSE THAT’S CLEARLY THE FIRST STEP!


Day 10. A fic that reminds you of someone

尘埃飞舞 by River_RS (MCU, Thor/Loki/Thor, Natasha/Clint)

Due to the Hong Kong AU setting I can never think about without thinking about iris242x….. Also—yes, whatever else, bloody good fic. Not just for Thor and Loki, but for Natasha and Clint as well.

List of questions here.

Day 27. A fic that spawned an inside joke

Pictures of You by Reiko+沙罗+茕蝶 (Naruto, Kakashi/Sasuke, in Chinese)

Yeah....I probably should face the music on this one, as Miya-chan (nickname: Little BT) has gained a life of his own.

Day 28. A fic with a pairing you never thought you'd read

Five Ways Sam Vimes Discovered What He Didn't Want to Know by kindkit (Discworld, Vetinari/Drumknott)

I always thought this ship was boring, but the author showed me it could be touching. My Discworld OTP is Vetinari/Vimes, but the Vimes in this one was very nicely done as well.

Day 29. A fic that turns you on

Tarnished Angel by Blackrose (FF8, Seifer/Squall)

Kink quotient is 10/10. (Although I have to say, I always end up giggling at the ending...)

Day 30. A fic with a great ending

Nothing is Written by Transmission Failure (Formula One RPS, Senna/Berger)

Oh that ending. THAT ENDING. For me, it took the meaning of poetic angst to a whole new level.

I touch the gravestone, the letters cut into it: Nada pode me separar do amor de Deus. I will not stand between him and his God any more. My veneration will not fade, nor die; but it will now grow more distant—the might of a planet eclipsed by a falling star. There is no way I could ever forget Ayrton.

But still I am here to say goodbye.

Day 06. A guilty pleasure fic

Broken Halo by Miss Dincht (FF8, Seifer/Squall)

Lovely Lucius. Tall, blonde, and always impeccably dressed. A peculiar "boy" for lack of a better term. He is very beautiful, very dangerous, very cruel, and very violent. I couldn't have been more proud, but my reasons for loving our eldest child are vastly different than Squall's.

Fallen angel AU. Mpreg. Kids OCs. I mean, yeah cliché is cliché. But I loved reading it. I still do.

他还是孩子的时候，他们就使他成为废墟，可是大自然收回了这个废墟，如同大自然接受一切废墟一样；他孤寂，大自然安慰他；如同大自然安慰一切孤寂一样；大自然帮助一切被遗弃的人和物；凡是一切都缺乏的地方；大自然就把自己的一切来填补；大自然使一切废墟重新开花，重新绿化；它把常春藤送给石头，把爱情送给人类。这是冥冥世界极度宽容的表现。

Alternative title: If dicks could talk.
Yeah. I went there.

Written for ffviii_100 prompt No.36: Anthropomorphism.

Title: Rise and Shine
Pairing: Seifer/Squall
Rating: PG-13 for swearing

( Once upon a midnight dreary. )

Written for ffviii_100 prompt No.35: Alternative Universe.

Title: Rendezvous at Cetra II
Pairing: Seifer/Squall + Quistis
Rating: G

The U.S.S. Lionheart hung stationary just above the dust cloud surrounding Cetra II, waiting.

"Captain, we're being hailed by another stealthed Starfleet vessel." After two hours, at 1503, Tilmitt's ever-cheery voice finally came to life.

"On screen."

The captain blinked when he saw the graceful but severe-looking blond woman's face.

"This is Commander Trepe, First Officer of the U.S.S Hyperion. Lionheart, reconfirm your position."

"Confirmed. Still at five-gamma-eight."

"Alternative positioning system now operating, three minutes to completion," Trepe smiled a little. "On a side note, Captain Almasy is perfectly well. He's in the med bay only for a routine decontamination procedure."

The young man in the captain's uniform almost frowned.

"That's not a concern of mine at the moment, Quistis."

"Of course not. My apologies. Trepe out."

A/N: As Star Trek has eaten my brain, my first reaction to the AU prompt was, of course, U.S.S. Lionheart! At first I wanted to have S&S serve on the same ship, but in the end decided it would be more interesting if they were separated for the time being.

	Lionheart	Hyperion
Captain	S. Leonhart	S. Almasy
First Officer	Xu	Q. Trepe
Science Officer	E. Loire	Q. Trepe
Chief Medical Officer	E. Loire	Raijin
Communications Officer	S. Tilmitt	R. Heartilly
Helmsman/Navigator	I. Kinneas	Z. Dincht
Chief Engineer	Nida	Fuujin

I'd pay to see Seifer trying his best to not yell "CHICKIE" at Zell during the more pressing moments. *snicker*

Written for ffviii_100 prompt No.30: taboo.

Title: Promises
Pairing: Seifer/Squall
Rating: PG-13

Being born too pretty is a sin.

Having Seifer as a boyfriend probably counts as a sin too, although the general jury is still out on that one. Right now Squall would definitely have to go with a yes, seeing as how Seifer is grinning like an idiot and treating him like a baby, just because he is sick to the high heavens.

"I am going to fucking kill you when I can walk again," he manages to croak out.

"Come get me then," Seifer replies blithely, kissing his forehead. "I will fuck you right back into this bed, princess."

In an attempt to not write the paper that is due this evening, I updated my English fanfic master list as well as complied a rundown of my English FFVIII drabbles.

( I wrote more than I thought. ^^ )

Some of the drabbles (such as All that Glitters and Save the Queen) were hard to give a category to, because in my head there is a backstory for it but I haven't written down anything but the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.

In the end, though, no matter what kind of S/S I write, I will always think of them as Headmaster Leonhart and Commander Almasy: friends, rivals, sparring partners, comrades-in-arms...and yes, lifelong lovers.

Written for tanoshi_ame's prompt "dark side" in conjunction with ffviii_100 prompt No.28: problem.

This is from Seifer's POV. Squall POV to follow.

Title: All that Glitters
Pairing: Seifer/Squall
Rating: G

Another sunny Balamb morning. Another movie about the Second Sorceress War. Another blushing cadet asking him to sign a stupid poster.

Commander Almasy is definitely not in a good mood.

To be fair, the movie didn't make him into a caricature of evil, and even the "roguishly handsome" newcomer playing him wasn't half bad. Yet there is something fundamentally disquieting about the war being made into a movie. The things he had seen, the things he had done—certainly he never ran away from them, but he would have preferred to leave them on the dark side, where they belong.

Sya小姐的《L'amant/爱人》系列更新了，于是我看得那叫一个翻滚……
Squall上辈子一定欠了Seifer Almasy先生很多很多……
