I was pretty sure I was done with fanfic for awhile, but after reading Naruto 394, which is basically the chapter I've been waiting to see since FOREVER,  I had to write a little something.  It's kind of unedited and all written in one go, so be warned.

Title: “In Aftermath of Battle”
Genre: Angst/Gen.
Characters: Sasuke (and Itachi)
Rating:  PG
Words: 200
Warnings: Spoilers for 394 and preceding chapters.  No incest
Disclaimer:  Do not own.
Summary:   In the wake of blood battle, what remains?


Sing for absolution, I will be singing, falling from your grace.
Our wrongs remain unrectified, and our souls won’t be exhumed.
~ Muse

.

Little drabble-thing. Like most of my fics I drafted it a long time ago, but I revised it when I read the latest chapter.

Title: “Bloodlust”
Pairing: Sasuke/Itachi
Rating: M
Words: 532
Warnings: Masturbation, violent imagery

Whoot!  I made a deadline.  This is for the Holiday Fic Exchange at bleach_bdsm and it's my first time writing this pairing.

Title:  "The Illusionists"
Author: joyinthedance
Requested by: libekory
Rating: NC-17
Warnings/Kinks: Powerplay, slight dubcon, light S&M, illusion-play
Summary: Gin messes with Aizen by sitting in his throne.  Aizen, and the throne, have other plans.
Disclaimer: Kubo owns all.
A/N: This is my first time writing this pairing.  Hope you enjoy it!  <3

So awhile ago I created a challenge for myself, to do a 1000-word fic in five progressive drabbles of 200 words each. I wrote most of it a long time ago, but I recently revised it.

Title: Returning
Pairing: NaruSasu
Genre: Mostly angst
Rating: R to be safe (references to sex)
Words: 1000 (5 drabbles, 200 words each)

A/N:  I think today is the deadline for, uh, submission to the contest over at bleach_bdsm .

Wow, It's been a long time since my last foray into ItaSasu land.  I actually wrote most of this several months ago.  But with some kind of brotherly confrontation approaching in the manga, I thought I should revise it and spit it out now.



Title:  Four
Pairing: Itachi + (x) Sasuke
Genre: Angst (with these boys, what else?)
Rating:  Nothing terribly sexual, but M for blood
Words: 577
Disclaimer:  All your Uchiha are belong to Kishimoto.
(x-posted)

Before I fly away to Asia, here' s a treat for all you patient "Fresh Ink" fans!

Title: Fresh Ink (Part 6)
Authors:  joyinthedance and gogochan
Characters: Renji x Byakuya
Genre: University!AU, Romance, multi-chapter
Rating: NC-17 like WOAH.
Disclaimer: Bleach is not mine. The university was, though. ^_^
A/N: I know it’s unforgivably late; I’m sorry; don’t remind me. You’ll probably want to read Part 5 again to refresh yourselves. The lovely lemon-lime flavor you're tasting is all brought to you by gogochan, who resuced me when my smut muse flew the coop  Enjoy!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 5

I just churned this thing out tonight after seeing the preview for Ch. 352.  It would not stop coming.

Title: "Besides, We've Got Such Good Fashion Sense"
Characters: Team Sasuke, the rock band.
Genre: CRACK / AU; Interview
Rating: PG
Warnings: Spoilers up to Ch. 351, and the leaked bit of 352 (no plot points though). 
Words: ~800
X-posted to chuunin

Uh, so I started this earlier in the week in response to manga speculation.  I was feeling creative and just couldn't pass it up.  Read at your own risk.

Title: “Control”
Pairing: OroSasu…just not in the way you’ve imagined them.  Qualifies as SasuSasu too, I suppose.
Rating: NC-17
Words:  712
Spoilers: Technically none, but inspired by the latest chapters.  Probably AU by now but I still hope not.
Warnings: PWP.  Um, non-con masturbation?  It’s disturbing, but kind of…humorous, at least to me.
Disclaimer: It's a very good thing I don't own this series.
A/N:  I’m sorry. I really, really am.  The canon made me do it.

Title: Fresh Ink (Part 5)
Characters: Tattoo artist!Renji x grad student!Byakuya
Genre: University!AU, Romance, multi-chapter
Rating: PG-13
Words:  2,140
Disclaimer: Bleach is not mine.  The university is, though.
A/N: Yes, I'm alive!  It’s been too long.  Joy's brain was completely hijacked by midterms and a certain other fandom.  ^_^;  In return, I give you the longest chapter yet.  PLUS, I'm almost done with Part 6, which continues Part 5 and contains smut.  Originally I was going to include it here but wanted to give more time to the smex.  So be eager!  And if the ending doesn't seem right, it will in the next segment.
Another minor note: I decided to switch the order of the names since this is an American university and it just makes more sense that way, even though I hate the way it sounds.

Ok, I admit this was one of my daily 300-word assignments for my writing class.  The assignment was to vary the sentence structures as much as possible (which was harder than it sounds)  and to loosely model your style on an author of your choice (mine was Arundhati Roy, which is why it does not sound like Naruto's voice at all).  But the Sasuke reunion scene in Shippuden had completely eaten my brain, so that's what I wrote. 

Title: Reunion
Words: 289
Characters: Team Seven (NaruSasu just a bit)
Rating: G
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Title: Fresh Ink (Part 4)
Characters: Tattoo artist!Renji x grad student!Byakuya
Genre: University!AU, Romance, multi-chapter.  At smut at last!
Rating: NC-17
Words:  1200ish
Disclaimer: Bleach is not mine.  The university is, though. ^_^
A/N:  It finally happens.  XD Slightly late again; illness intervened.  I’m thinking of doing either one or two more parts after this; as fun as it’s been, I’d rather end it in a good place than drag it out ad infinitum.

   

Title: Fresh Ink (Part 3 / ?)
Characters: Tattoo artist!Renji x grad student!Byakuya
Genre: University!AU, Romance, multi-chapter
Rating: PG.  This is the last tame chapter.  Next time is teh smutt!
Words: 1450
Disclaimer: Bleach is not mine.  The university is, though.
A/N:  Sorry about the wait.  Part 4 will follow shortly.  ^_^


*Part 1*

*Part 2*

Title: "Fresh Ink" (Part 2 of ?)
Pairing: Tattoo artist!Renji x grad student!Byakuya
Genre: University!AU, Romance, WIP
Rating: PG still...though it's just dying to break out of that rating. ^_^
Words: 1092 for Part 2
Disclaimer: Bleach is not mine. The university is, though.
A/N: This icon is what Byakuya's new tattoo looks like.



Link to Part 1

Title: Fresh Ink (Part 1 of ?)
Characters: Renji x Byakuya (yes that will be the order, I know, I've gone insane)
Genre: University!AU, Romance,
Rating: PG for now…but knowing me the rating will escalate.
Words: 755 for Part 1
Disclaimer: Bleach is not mine.  The university is, though.
A/N:  Wow, it's been awhile since I wrote Bleach.  There was a time I swore I’d never write an AU, or a multi-chapter fic.  But I actually started writing this months ago in the tattoo parlor while I was waiting to get a tattoo, and couldn’t let it sit and rot.   Part  2 is coming soon, and it's a wee bit more interesting than this.  ^^

Title: Only One Road
Characters: Itachi x Sasuke (hinting at past NaruSasu, maybe future OroSasu, possible past OroIta if you want it …*winks at bakkhos*)
Rating: NC-17
Words: 1,670
Warnings: Itachi and Sasuke are brothers (duh). Also, Valley of the End spoilers, if that still applies to anyone.
Disclaimer: All your Uchiha are belong to Kishimoto.
A/N: This is for miharu_mun, who way back in November promised me babies requested Uchihacest with virgin!Sasuke. So here he is, along with protective!Itachi, if your idea of protection is, well, borderline rape. ^_^

Dear bakkhos: This is the fastest I’ve ever written a fic.  I just got inspired by your fic for me. Besides, it was great procrastination from term papers.  At first I hesitated to write pre-massacre stuff because it really is your domain, but once the idea solidified, I had to go with it. Lack of originality aside, I’m not too disappointed.  Enjoy!

Title: "No More Tears"
Pairing: Hints of ItaSasu and ItaShisui
Rating: PG
Words: 434
Disclaimer: All your Uchiha are belong to Kishimoto.
A/N: This was sort of meant to fit in with the world of bakkhos’ “Tea and Dango” stories, which are still far better. Whether or not this makes sense kind of depends on a fanon idea of the effects of Mangekyou sharingan on the body, which
bakkhos and others have used and I happen to like.

So Halloween is over and done with, and my dead camera battery didn't allow for very much of it to be immortalized, but I do have some pictures. My roommate and I went as "cats" to the senior dance Friday night, but we didn't decide to go out until it was already too late to bother making ears or tails. So we just wore black and drew whiskers.  Lame, I know, but it was fun. On the actual day of Halloween I just wore black and lots of eyeliner all day and all night.  It was fun.   My other roommates carved a pumpkin for our suite.  All in all it was a great time!


I'm alternating between being horribly stressed and angry and confused, and being very happy because I'm putting off my painful obligations. I was delighted that my FAVORITE room of the library, which has been under construciton, is now open again. And I have a quasi-date tomorrow. O_O

On an entirely unrelated note, I descended even deeper into moral bankruptcy last week by writing Uchihacest smut. I posted it in the relevant communities already, but I thought I should post it here for safekeeping. Yeah, I know it's pretty wrong, so don't judge me ;)

I thought about this a lot after writing the fic, and ended up writing a little blurb about the appeal of ItaSasu as a pairing:




Here's a link to the actual fic, for the brave.
Title: "Just Like You Imagined"
Pairing: ItaSasu
Genre: Angsty smutty one-shot
Rating: NC-17
Words:  960
Disclaimer: All your Uchiha are belong to Kishimoto.
Warnings:  La la la...yaoi, incest, non-con, bdsm, and other such delicious unpleasantries.

Now I have to write a grad school essay.
