THIS JOURNAL HAS
MOVED.



buttonsandblows is moving to happenstance@ij.com. It'll take the better part of a month before I have the time to get it all updated, I suspect, so don't bother friending it just yet, because that will involve a fuckload of spam.

I'm not deleting b&b or cheloya. I'm going to go ahead and assume that anyone who wants to contact me is smart enough to leave a comment here or at IJ if they don't already have more likely methods.

I love you all dearly, and I will be keeping an eye on the flist - I just won't be lending LJ any more of my user-generated content from here on out. ^^ Not going to get dramatic about it, but will state, once and for all, yes, I know it was a business decision. Yes, I know it's a different company now. No, I don't care whether they are American or Russian or Tralfalmadorian. I am leaving because I believe that censorship of any kind is rubbish, and that is all. ♥

See you around, guys. You know where to find me.

Title: Distinct
Fandom: Petshop of Horrors
Character/s: Vesca Howell, Sofu D, Papa D
Words: 1 517
Notes: The fourth part in the Dissonance Arc. Dedicated to feather_qwill, who is very patient. ♥

( and the bridges, they all buckle )

Yet another music meme, as a break from writing F&F. Theme of the day was initially Kurogane, and I'm not sure how strictly I stuck to that. XD;

( smile like you mean it )

Another try at the music meme, in lieu of aught else to write. Ten songs, picked at random, for the duration of which I wrote about a character. In this case, Hiru. Surprise, surprise.

( Hiru, of Any Court. )

In other news, this song should not be as addictive as it is. D:

Title: Smoke and Mirrors
Fandom: Original (Against the Moon)
Character/s: Hiru, Auberon, Kagami
Words: 361
Notes: For Squeaker + 'beyond all expectations'.

( nothing behind the curtain; nothing up my sleeve )

Title: Evolution (Darwinism)
Fandom: Petshop of Horrors
Character/s: Count D, Vesca Howell, Papa D (implied)
Words: 710
Notes: The third part of the Dissonance Arc. In which Count D pays a visit to his grandfather, and there are hints of D/Leon. Uh. >_>; Happy New Year?

( the time has come to make the decision )

Title: Some Assembly Required
Fandom: Bleach (MS)
Character/s: Hanatarou, Mayuri
Words: 614
Notes: AU, clearly, since this also never happened in the game. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to my one and only Shini. ♥ Continuing the srs crack tradition of Fray, Darning, Patterns, and An Inconvenient Truth. (And, orz, it seems like it cuts out, but I don’t know how else to finish it. |D;)

( allocate your sentiment and stick it in a box )

Title: More Than We’ll Ever Feel
Fandom: Loveless
Character/s: Kio, Youji, Natsuo
Words: 819
Notes: A Christmas gift for the lovely squeakelala. X3 Hope you enjoy it, sweetness. It didn't quite make it into pairing territory, but I still think it counts, ne? ♥

( So this is ‘warm’. )

Another one-liner meme that is just pretending. Two ficlets in here, and no small number of drabbles. All PSOH-related, in honour of Shin Petshop v5. And... there are a number of different AUs in here. I've tried to group the related ones, but you know how AUs spiral out of control. XD

( there is no running that can hide you; I can see in the dark )

Title: Devotion
Fandom: Pet Shop of Horrors
Character/s: Sofu D, Papa D, Vesca Howell
Words: 1040
Notes: This was much better the first time I wrote it. The second story in the Dissonance Arc, which can be found here. Sofu D does not have high hopes for this grandchild.

( there'll be no better way to save me )

Title: With Both Hands
Fandom: Petshop of Horrors
Character/s: Papa D, Vesca Howell, Sofu D
Words: 883
Notes: The reincarnation fic, all growed up. Despite knowing better, as far as translation goes, I’m going with the lines in the Tokyopop edition, for the sake of easy recognition. Thankyou to my seme-sama, feather_qwill, without whom this would have vascillated even longer. XD

( and all the roads that lead you there are winding )

Title: Building, Tumbling Down
Fandom: Original (Against the Moon)
Character/s: Hiru, Sanga
Notes: Written with 1sentence's theme set Delta, but unclaimed because I am lazy and nonparticipatory like that. [Also, written like YEARS AGO, JUST FYI.]

( right on time you get closer and closer )

Title: Five Times Landre Cooked Dinner
Fandom: Original (Against the Moon)
Character/s: Landre, Kondekir
Words: 820
Notes: For gehdra, who, despite not-knowing these characters, comes up with highly entertaining prompts for them. XD

( 'It was a lovely thought, but I'm really very tired and I think it's probably best if I just go straight to sleep.' )
