je fic-related housekeeping

This post is so overdue. D: There isn't really anything new here, just stuff that I never mentioned or that never found a permanent home elsewhere.

+ in the interests of completionism, I never mentioned that I wrote a ficlet for the [livejournal.com profile] kizuna_exchange comm back in April. Here's Looking At You, Kid, 1000 words, Jin and Kame gen.

+ podfic! [livejournal.com profile] kattunberry has recorded that first Nobuta fic, Warmth, and [livejournal.com profile] adistantsun has recorded The Lines They Travel and The Sky Above, The World Beneath. (the last one in particular is STELLAR. music! effects! lovely Australian accent!) So if you are into podfic you should check those out because these people are awesome.

+ translations also, um, finally updated in the main fic index. at long last. that's to add Russian translations of Five Things That Never Happened To Hayato and Ryu and Maps by [livejournal.com profile] zlobnyi_kisenok, and of The Sky Above, The World Beneath by [livejournal.com profile] alexandro19. translation list should now be complete; please let me know if I've left something out. D:

+ a ficlet for your time. it's not new but it was buried in a friendslocked post before and now that the longer fic it might've gone into is long finished, no reason not to make it public.

"Stray", Gokusen 2, Hayato/Ryu-ish. 336 words.


Ryu had been over to Hayato's place several times before he met the cat.

Hayato had gone inside first to put away the bag of groceries and the six-pack; he'd left the door ajar and a plaintive meow interrupted Ryu as he pulled off his shoes in the entryway.

The cat was sitting just on the other side of the door, as close to the apartment as it could be without actually being inside. Ryu eyed it. It eyed him back warily.

It was painfully skinny, jet black fur scruffy, tail patchy, with a notch in its right ear and scar above its right eye: obviously a stray. Ryu debated whether to shoo it away or just close the door; it seemed to sense his thoughts and bristled.

"Oh," Hayato said, appearing at Ryu's side out of nowhere, "you're back!" He crouched down and held out a hand. The cat trotted forward and sniffed inquisitively, then, with a rusty purr, closed its eyes and rubbed its head against his hand.

Hayato was obviously thrilled. He answered the cat's demand for attention willingly: short scritches under its chin, long strokes down its back, a large palm rubbing over its head. He cooed endearments; it arched enthusiastically into his hand. The purring grew more and more ecstatic.

Ryu frowned. "Since when did you have a pet?"

Hayato shrugged, eyes never leaving the cat as he scratched gently behind its ears. "He's not mine. He just keeps showing up here." Hayato's careless tone was countered by the stupid, doting expression on his face.

"You shouldn't feed strays," Ryu said.

"I don't!" Hayato exclaimed indignantly. "I mean, I don't always. If I have leftovers – that's not the point. He was here before I ever gave him anything. He comes by whether there's food or not. Don't you?" he said to the cat, in a vastly more saccharine tone. It purred especially loudly.

"See," Hayato said, looking up at Ryu with an idiotic smile. "Strays seem to like me."

Ryu, on the verge of saying something appropriately derisive, closed his mouth.

Oh it was an EPIC conversation! I posted several outtakes from my phone while trying not to fall off my seat I was laughing so hard! Sam and Fitz are wonderful company XDDDD

We established that no one writes G2 fic like you do, and the only suggestions I can remember involved slashing Jin with various players, and/or him giving music the flick and chasing that other dream he was always talking about ^_~

Ohhhh, that conversation. Yes yes I saw those posts. hee.

I blush. :D Or would, except I'm too tired. The funny thing is, I think I've written... two full-length Gokusen fics and two snippets? I'm glad they made an impression ahaha. <3

And hey, if Jin can be Prime Minister then a soccer player should be a cakewalk. Aaand this conversation has actually given me kind of an idea for something should I attempt Akame in the near future. (IF. if.)

*giggles* You should have been there!

I think I've written... two full-length Gokusen fics and two snippets? I'm glad they made an impression ahaha. <3

In a sense I think those two fics distilled a lot of the essence of the characters into a relatively short space? They're definitely ones you remember if asked for a list of G2 fic <3

Mission accomplished! :DDDDD/

And hey, I will gladly take on the ENTIRETY of k-x modding duties if it means we get more Mer!fic!
