Tuesday's older fiction

Uh, the first one is kind of stretching the "Lee/Gaara" category, but it includes them both? Some of you may recognize the card game in the second from Not Exactly Shakespeare, or The Fine Art of Running Away and Tactical Retreats.

( The thing about sand and water mixing was that the sand clumped, became too difficult to manipulate. )


*


( Red, blue, green. Lee flipped through the cards quickly, eyes shifting from one to the next to the next, before starting all over again. )


*


( Lee's hair was dark like coal and his smile bright like the flame that lit the night and burned to the touch. )


*


( Hikaru unbuttoned Touya's ugly puce shirt (and God, what had Hikaru said about not letting Touya's mother do his clothes shopping? No one ever listened) with trembling fingers. )


*


( Touya seemed to be restraining himself from some handwaving of his own, or perhaps from smacking Hikaru. )

Tomorrow, locked Lee-as-Hokage.

Usually the linking goes the other way around when it comes to manicjoy and everysecondtues, but because there's inclusion of fan art and other things, I'm hosting my (shamelessly stolen from anna_luna) Valentine's Day exchange on everysecondtues.

The full rules and such are listed in the actual entry, but the basics is a like for like exchange, so if you'd like to trade fan-fic, fan-art, or so on (and we can work fic for art or art for fic if you don't draw/write), please come join me.

And I'm still working on fic. I think a lot of things in many different fandoms may be finished at once. Or not. Both Sweet Charity buyers are allowing me to share, so expect a Naruto fic and one from Doctor Who at some point in the coming couple months. I'm also working on fic for Hot Fuzz, SPN, HP, and more.

I did a slight fic tease on everysecondtues a while back with snippets from some of the works in progress.

Also, I wrote something for Hikago for the "fox" short-fic prompt at hng_prompts. It's short, Hikaru/Akira, and mostly fluff.

Stones, Foxes, and Fights, Oh My:
Touya Akira was a stone fox, thought Hikaru, staring unabashedly at Touya's ass.
