Drabbles - Kou & Lirin; Heaven (TenGou)

For the latest [livejournal.com profile] 100_roadtrips challenge. Like my muses are going to turn down 'Between The Sheets' as a theme, never mind that most of my drabbles to date would fit the topic. >_< So of course, my first idea that's actually *for* the official theme turns out to be not smutty in the least. (shrugs)

Title: Raindrops On Roses and Whiskers on Kittens
Rated: 7+
Word Count: 100
Characters: Kougaiji, Lirin

It was not the thunderclap overhead that woke Kougaiji, but the creak of his bedchamber door just after. He raised his head, scenting the room even as a hesitant whisper confirmed his instincts.

"O-Oniichan?"

Lightning flashed; deafening thunder followed immediately. The instant's illumination showed Kougaiji tousled orange hair and wide green eyes constricted in fright; he lifted his sheets in invitation and Lirin dove beneath them to huddle against him, whimpering.

Smiling fondly in the darkness, Kougaiji tucked a comforting arm around his shaking sister.

Big, brave Lirin-chan--bold enough to take on the Sanzo-ikkou, but no match for simple thunderstorms.
-----------------

And, because I am at heart naught but a writer of smut...

Title: Heaven
Rated: 18+
Word Count: 100
Characters: Tenpou/Goujun

Heaven, Goujun decided, was not this timeless place of duty and unchanging tedium.

Rather, Heaven was Tenpou, here, above him in his bed. Heaven was the taste of Tenpou's mouth, the sweet endless ache of Tenpou within him. Heaven was moving together, writhing urgently in the tangled sheets, arching and crying out as pleasure swelled through the blood. Heaven was trembling lips and breathless vows, whispered words of passion, the soaring flood of ecstasy as they died their little deaths in one another's arms over and over again.

Heaven, truly, was the implicit promise that this would last forever.

(stretches) Haven't drabbled in a little while...kinda feels nice.

Over the weekend, I did something incredibly stupid. Not drastically important, by any means; but just personally aggravating. When I'm copying my Works In Progress disk to my hard-drive for backup, normally I'll just transfer the whole thing or the relevant files through the 'Folders' Explorer window. But for some reason last Friday night, I had my harddrive folder open and my disk folder open in seperate windows and I was copying files directly between them. And of course, of course, I ended up copying one the wrong way and over-wrote several days' worth of new work with an older version of the same fic. Very aggravating. So I've spent a couple days this week trying to get it back to where it was, since I don't know enough about computers to recover deleted/over-written files from a floppy disk.

Luckily, though, this particular fic consisted mostly of chat-style notes, and most of the work I'd done was just converting things like this:

Gojyo: (almost scoffing) His name is 'white dragon'? Gee, *that's* imaginative.

Hakkai: (blithely deadpan with that angelic smile) How very original.


to look more like this:

"His name is 'white dragon'?" Gojyo scoffed. "Gee, *that's* imaginative."

"How very original," Hakkai deadpanned blithely, flashing his most angelic smile as he turned briefly from the dragon.


So most of the work was not too painful. But there were still notes and scattered patches of new material that I had to recreate, and it all took time that I could have been moving the fic along down the road toward completion. Or making progress on something else. Just little aggravations in the grand scheme of things. Especially since that fic is one that's been sitting around for a few months, now, with nothing getting done on it until just last week. Never mind that it's one of my earliest ideas from last spring that's finally shaping up to be more than a random bunny.

(sighs) I haven't been on LJ much at all this week, and I'm sure there's plenty that I need to catch up on.

The Kou and Lirin one was so cute. I LOVE that last line. Wonderful. It made me chuckle nad smirk.

The Tenpou and Gojun one was rather nice too. You should write longer pieces.

Thanks for sharing,
