[Fic] Gratitude - Goujun/Kougaiji

Title: Gratitude
Author: TJ Dragonblade
Fandom: Saiyuki
Rated: 18+
Pairing: Goujun/Kougaiji; passing reference to existing GouKenTen and mention of both NiiKou and DokuKou.
Wordcount: 4327
Spoilers: Nope.
Disclaimer: Saiyuki and Saiyuki Gaiden created by Kazuya Minekura. No copyright infringement intended.
Setting: *cough* ...Uhm. Sometime prior to Gaiden resuming publication in Summer 2005. Off-camera, on-set.

Summary: Goujun finds himself somewhat stressed out by interim duties while Gaiden is on hiatus. An unexpected visit from Kougaiji helps him unwind.

Warnings: Not suitable for children. Not worksafe. Yaoi. Inter-species relations. OOC. Makes no attempt whatsoever to maintain the audience's illusion of a fourth wall. It should also be noted that this is a very self-indulgent fic.

Thanks and shout-outs go to:
- sorchafyre, for the much-appreciated beta. ♥
- kintail, for encouraging more Goujun smut ficcage once upon a time and inadvertently prompting me away from thoughts of abandoning this thing half-finished. Somehow, I don't think this is quite what you had in mind. ^_^;
- maxw3llsmage, who once mentioned a fondness for the idea of Kougaiji with Goujun and brought my attention back to this when it had wandered far away again.
- flemmings, for long-ago comment threads on formality and politeness and speech forms in regards to Kou and Goujun and Japanese in general that helped me find my direction for character interaction between two characters who never meet in canon.
- teru_bozu_ebi, for organizing Goujun Appreciation Month last year, prompting focus enough to eke out the last few stubbornly-unwritten paragraphs and finish this thing once and for all. Even though another year's gone by before I'm ready to call it 'done'.

For the record, the unofficial working title on this thing was 'Cuckoo for GouKou Puffs' for the longest time. >_<; And I'd still love to see someone tackle this pairing in reinc or AU from a less farcical perspective. ^_^

[Fic] Jealous of Your Cigarette - 585

Author: TJ Dragonblade
Fandom: Saiyuki
Title: Jealous of Your Cigarette
Rated: 18+
Word Count: ~2200
Pairing: 585 Gojyo/Hakkai
Spoilers: none
Warnings/Contains: Yaoi, fellatio, heavy petting, language, and cigarettes. Not suitable for children.

Setting: Mid-journey, pre-reload. 'Cause even with Gojyo's horrid inflatable pants and matching inflatable boots, I still like the first set of clothes best and I didn't feel like adjusting my internal visuals or cobbling up any extra verbiage to account for the hemline of Hakkai's Reload tunic.

Notes: Many thanks to Sorcha for the beta work. ♥ Also, credit due to nekonexus, for the icon that planted the seed of this fic once upon a time, and to kintail for later introducing me to the song that coaxed it into blossom way back in 2005. Not that this has ever borne resemblance to the song beyond the shared title...

[Fic] When the Chips Are Down - GenFic (Jiipu)

Over at konnyakuhonyaku there were translations posted last Spring of the comparative analysis section of Saiyuubito, wherein Minekura compares the original Journey to the West characters with her own Saiyuki counterparts. The end of Jeep's section contains this enlightening little tidbit:

The original dragon horse helps out Goku and the others by turning into a beautiful woman, and marking with golden poo and the like.*

This is perhaps the worst Jeep fic ever, but the bunny was rabid and it bit hard. Oh, god, I can't believe I wrote this. Please forgive me. T_T

Title: When the Chips Are Down
Author: TJ Dragonblade
Fandom: Saiyuki
Rated: 13+, (mostly) for language
Genre: Gen-fic
Characters: The Sanzo-less Party
Wordcount: 1776
Setting: An alternate take on the 'sell my body' scene, Reload vol 7.
Warning: If the notations under 'character' and 'setting' don't ring a bell, then beware mild spoilers ahead. Also, I point your attention to the phrase 'golden poo' above. >_<

Disclaimer: Saiyuki belongs to Kazuya Minekura. No disrespect or copyright infringement intended.

Summary: When money is scarce, Jiipu helps out.

( Worksafe. Err...mostly. ^_^;; )

*The bit about turning into a beautiful woman--my brain promptly went '*glee* Jeep can do Sexy no Jutsu!!! XD' So instead of turning into a WWII Jeep Willys, he turns into a classic Corvette with all the hips and curves, right? Vroom, baby. Really, though, there's probably a fic in the Jeep-becomes-a-beautiful-woman idea, too. Hmm.

Here and Gone Again...

So I've been absent for awhile. Yeah. And I realized the other day that I had more than one fic that's more or less ready for posting, and that I really ought to post them since I'll have other things on the mind once again after the baby comes. Thus the wee ficdump. And I've an appointment tomorrow (Wednesday) morning to be induced, so there's no telling when I might reappear here. Wish me luck and swift labor - I'd prefer the baby be born while it's still June. ^_^

Not much of an update, but so be it.
