Title: Insight
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh
Word count: 6,600
Pairing(s): Pegasus/Seto
Rating: 15+
Spoilers: None, really? This is set pre-series.
Warnings: blood; and suggestions of violence, sexual situations, and child abuse (nothing graphic).
Summary: Seto Kaiba has come to see Pegasus, to propose a working relationship between Industrial Illusions and Kaiba Corp. Pegasus is indeed interested in Kaiba's new technology, but more interested in Kaiba himself.
Notes: After some deliberation, I decided to refer to Pegasus as if his only name is "Pegasus", kind of like Cher or Sting, because I didn't want to deal with calling him Maximillion or Mr. Crawford or whatever--he'll always just be Pegasus to me!

( Insight. )

Also, some bonus pencil illustrations. Warning: a little bit of blood.

Ha ha, since I recklessly declared this week Rozin Week, I thought I would cross-post my Roku/Sozin efforts so far here in my silliness journal!

I am writing a couple stories for the week as well, which I'll be posting here.

Comic: Contrasting.

Comic: Grumpy Chips.

Yes, maybe I empathize with Sozin a little too much, but really, where's the harm? I am not the leader of a powerful nation, and I can't bend fire.

...

Dammit.

Ha ha, it has been a while since I wrote a Jet/Zuko story, and since I was sick last week, I thought I would indulge myself shamefully. I must warn you, though, this story is all about cute old men! Which, of course, is actually more of a delightful treat than something people need to be warned about.

Ha ha, special thanks to armistice_day for participating in the silly conversation that spawned this idea.

And ali_wildgoose was nice enough to draw a little illustration for the fic, so I'll post it here. (She also suggested that I add more kissing, and I did my best!)

( Cute old men! )

Title: The One Exception
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender (AU)
Pairing: Jet/Zuko
Wordcount: 4,100
Spoilers: N/A
Rating: All Ages
Notes: In this alternate universe, Jet never saw Iroh Firebend his tea, so he didn't fight Zuko in the teashop, was not captured by the Dai Li, and did not die. Katara never saw Zuko at the Jasmine Dragon, so Azula didn't realize he was there, and Zuko never joined Azula. Instead, when Ba Sing Se was invaded, Zuko joined forces with Jet. And now--it's fifty years later.

( It was an ideal summer afternoon, warm and drowsy, the leaves a deep green and the golden sunlight filtering through them, dappling the forest floor. )
