A bit out of left-field, but I figured I'd prove I'm a) not dead and b) gearing up for massive IDF goodness.  ^^  Darkness is a fanfiction sequel to one of the most awesome anime ever, Noir.  For those of you who've never seen it, there's both Wiki and IMD pages for the series, and probably some Google stuff as well.  It's not strictly necessary to know much about the story to get the sequel - it's meant as a stand-alone, and there's a bit of a recap here in the first chapter - but it'll probably help.

The original story came to mind while doing research for Le Deux Retour (a different, webcomic sequel) and started taking note of the "True Noir" eyestyle.  This particular design is the way Chloe's eyes are always shown, and Kirika's eyes are done in this style when she appears in her "True Noir" mindset, especially near the end of the series, like her battle with Mirelle at the Manor.  I always found this signal of Kirika's mental state interesting, and after hearing Mirelle's "I have a little Noir in me, too" in the last episode, I wondered if she had a similar situation and what the trigger would be.  After watching all the episodes again, I found several shots of Mirelle with the "True Noir" style eyes - and wouldn't you know it, pretty much all of them happen when Kirika is in physical or mental danger that doesn't relate to their job, or when she's faced with Chloe, her 'rival' for Kirika's affections.  And since the raging "are they, aren't they" debate is even encouraged by the creators themselves . . . well, I just had to spread the love.  ^^

WARNING:  Because it is set after the original series, there are spoilers for pretty much the entire ending.

The Darkness in Their Eyes
Fandom, Pairing:  Noir, Mirelle / Kirika
Summary:  After the insanity of the Manor, Mirelle and Kirika are finally beginning to put their lives back together again.  But nothing is ever easy for the worlds most deadly pair of assassins - especially when it comes to matters of the heart.  With old feelings and new enemies stirring in the shadows, the Maidens who Govern Death will be forced to confront everything they thought they'd left behind.  Can their bond survive another test of fate?

I blame ralst for this one.  xD  Honestly, though, it was written quite a while ago - I just haven't finished it yet.  For those that don't know, Rachel and Ivy are from a series of utterly fantastic novels by Kim Harrison, nicknamed "the Hollows."  For those wondering, this story takes place after the fourth book, A Fistful of Charms, so if you haven’t read up to that point, certain things might not make sense to you. All spellings and happenings are referenced to make sure they’re spelled / done correctly. And it is a Rachel / Ivy romance, albeit a bit heavy on Kisten’s relations to the two of them. No, the author does not advocate threesomes, these three are just too cute to pass up. (snicker) It’s also written in third person, ‘cause my first-person skills are a bit rusty.

 As a sidenote, the bit about waffles is an homage to the end of “Poetry Feelings,” a very awesome oneshot Birds of Prey fic by the incredible writer Fembuck. It made me giggle out loud, and it sounded very much like a conversation Rachel and Ivy would have.

Now - the story!  *glee*

In honor of Xena month, ‘tis a random scene extract from a fic called “Hearts in Time.” The information / summary bit below isn’t entirely necessary, but it’ll help make sense of things.

I hate hornets.  And wasps, and yellow jackets, and even cute little fuzzy bumble bees.  Been afraid of the damned things since elementary school.  Only been stung twice - a bee once, a yellow-jacket the second time - but they nest every summer under the eaves of the house, so we have to spray and put up traps and whatnot.

Why am I mentioning this obscure fact?  Simple.  Dad got attacked by a bunch of hornets while we were outside doing yardwork this afternoon.  Rather, I was washing one of the cars, he was trimming branches off a tree.  Since they usually nest in the eaves, none of us knew there was a hive in the damned front yard - at least, until he pissed it off with the clippers.  Took two neighbors' help to get them away from him, and he was stung about twenty-two times, most of them in the side of his head.  Had to call a freaking ambulance to check him out.

No frigging way am I going back out there today.  Nuh-uh, can't make me.

You can tell I'm horribly hyper and excited over this.  *snicker*  Anyway, I've decided to ignore my dislike of places like this in general and create a Journal, 'cause there's quite a few fun people here that I'd like to keep track of.  Plus, it's a new place to post pics and stories - how can I say no to that?

No particular rants or anything much to babble about tonight, as I've got way, way too much to do.  I'm headed to Sakura Con this weekend, and somehow I've gotta fit an entire site's worth of coding, three comics' worth of sketching, coloring and preliminary pics, and three more chapters of fanfiction to complete in the next three days.  Not to mention somehow putting together three different costumes for me and one for my best friend.  Yes, I'm insane.  xD
