Title: Light
Genre: Poetry
Rating: G
Characters: Risho, Touya
Summary: Poem about the light, escape is near for them.
A/N: Yes, I do support Risho/Touya, thank you! I wrote this yesterday after I ate my Thanksgiving supper, and I was a bit high from some strong pain killers when I wrote it, so I was loopy. Um . . . if you have some constructive criticism, please leave it. I'm not good with poems that rhyme, so, yeah. As you can see, only two lines rhyme . . . Yeah.

Series: Yu Yu Hakusho x Hunter x Hunter
Disclaimer: Togashi would die if he knew what I was doing to Kurapika; also, the answer may not be as complex as you think
Word Count: 8,871
Rating/Warnings: NC-17 for HOT GAY SEX. In the woods. In the dark. Possibly in the nude!
Character/Pairings: Kurama/Kurapika, the episode to which I refer as the Tequila Brunch. That is to say, the explanation for the Doomfic's Kurama/Kurapika conundrum i.e. what the hell happened?
Notes: This does not tell the whole backstory. That's coming along just fine in the main fic, but just so's you knows. Thanks to Saaski for the beta, as usual. There is one section that still needs work, but this thing has drained me; the honeymoon's over and I can't bear to look at it, anymore, so much for that! Guess which section! It's a game.

Want to share a fabulous home recipe for coconut bread? Suddenly run out of confectioner's sugar with company on the way and need to find out a quick in-house substitute?

Whether you're a professional chef, an aspiring culinary wizard, or a happy home-baker, you'll get delicious guidance from fellow and sister foodies.

I lost my shit when I saw this one. Thought I'd share.

Always on the lookout for compelling images, we were delighted to discover this flourishing community of artists who share a love of nature. Honoring the subject with photographs, paintings, sketches, prose, poetry, and
other creative works, you'll be simultaneously riveted to your monitor and inspired to run helter skelter towards the nearest wooded dale.

Your, in this case a collective your, reaction to this site was lukewarm, as it should be, since it's about the shota-est shota since shota began.

I, however, can't help but find some things endearing about it.

( That, for example. )


( Also that. )


Call me easily seduced, but I'll still check it religiously.

I also played with bunnies today. It was fun. Lax, the floppy-eared boy, is ADORABLE.

Also: I refuse to be excited about the sex pistols anime, I refuse to be excited about the sex pistols anime, I refuse to be excited about the sex pistols anime, I refuse to be excited about the sex pistols anime, I refuse to be excited because they're going to fuck it up like they fucked up Antique Bakery...

Aw, hell. I'm excited.

( Real excited. )

Are you kidding me? Seeing that animated? MROW!

And--it'll have an end! Really! She stopped halfway through, but this series will have a definite end.

I'm excited about Ai no Kusabi too, of course. I'm just excited.

　((8-(*'-'*)ノHello!ヽ(*'-'*)-8))　

I live in Japan and thus buy fandom stuff often. After reading / enjoying it I often have to get rid of it again. Although I don't really want to sell so much stuff, there's just not enough space and ... honestly I don't have the time to look at most things twice.
Anyway, that's the reason why this sales entry will be updated from time to time, so please keep an eye or two on it XD

Frank is still blushing with excitement over the love notes, proposals, propositions, and occasional intimate photos sent from his admirers around the world (China, Norway, Japan, and Poland just this week)!
