Only A Paper Moon











{October 26, 2009}   “Just You Wait”

Just You Wait

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Shuichi finds a way of getting Yuki’s attention that is guaranteed to succeed.

Spoilers: I don’t even know why I have this here.  If you’re already going WTF at Gravitation, there’s not much left to be spoiled.

Warnings: Candid discussion of sex.

Preference Warnings: The level of candid discussion of sex kind of squicks me out sometimes, and I wrote it. But that’s just because I’m so demure.

Notes: I seem to have a terrible tendency towards showing Yuki making casual fun of his novelling career in my fics. I can see him doing it and still taking his work kind of seriously. It’s more or less how I work, after all. Also, on a side note, HE’S TOTALLY SCREAMING MY NAME.

Fatherhood – A Modern Fairytale

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Eiri faces the natural consequences of his wild ways.

Spoilers: None.

Warnings: A whole lot of ranting about sex. And vomit.

Preference Warnings: My screwed-up sense of wit really comes into play here.

Notes: I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote this. I found it recently in my unfinished stories folder, and if there was really meant to be some further punch line I don’t know what it could have been.

{October 25, 2009}   “Cell Fish”

Cell Fish

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Shuichi brings up the baby topic. Eiri has his own reasons for acting as expected.

Spoilers: Nothing specific.

Warnings: I don’t think I could ever come up with anything more disturbing than what’s already in the series.

Preference Warnings: Baby talk. If you’re, uh, squicked out by babies, I guess. Also I did like zero research for this so it in few ways represents something that could actually happen.

Notes: I think my main motivation for writing this was to do something with that oh-so-punny title that ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE. But aside from that, I’ve read lots of Gravitation fics that bring up babies, and it’s fun to explore my own take on it. I have a few, of which this is the only even remotely happy one.

{October 25, 2009}   “Old And Unappealing”

Old And Unappealing

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: If you live your life acting to alienate everybody, who can you count on when you most need it?

Spoilers: Nothing specific.

Warnings: None.

Preference Warnings: Yuki being only 50% of a bitch may not gel with some people’s interpretations of him.

Notes: I was going through a sleepless night myself a while back and scripted this story in my head as comfort. I’m not nearly as nasty to people who care for me as Yuki is (as far as I realise) and I freak out all the time over whether I’m going to maintain any lasting relationships, so I can see this happening.

{October 24, 2009}   “For His Own Good”

For His Own Good

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Yuki is Shuichi’s hero. More than Shuichi can ever be allowed to know.

Spoilers: Nothing unusual.

Warnings: None.

Preference Warnings: None.

Notes: I always like to think that, somewhere behind the scenes, Yuki and Shuichi have connections and things in common that freak out both of them.

{October 24, 2009}   “Breaking In”

Breaking In

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Shuichi gets a bit too swept up in the vampire craze.

Spoilers: If you’re obsessed enough to be looking for fics, probably nothing.

Warnings: Nothing major.

Preference Warnings: Twilight jokes.

Notes: Ah, Twilight is good value, I’ll give it that.

{December 17, 2008}   “Make It Better”

Make It Better

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Shuichi’s weird moment at work turns out to be more significant than he thought, especially considering his most hard-won relationship.

Spoilers: Up until the end of the anime.

Warnings: None.

Preference Warnings: Original character central to story. Average and clichéd.

Notes: Part of my motivation for writing this story was to explore the idea of Yuki making a significant effort to change and open up after accepting that Shuichi is in his life to stay. I’ve seen it assumed in a lot of fics that even years after they’d still be stuck in the same patterns we see in the anime, and I just think once they were both committed to being together, there’d be a lot of changes. What my brain produced in response to those thoughts had too many good moments to throw away. It also has strangely divided chapters and sort of undermines canon-plot in some ways, but it was an interesting experiment. Mostly here for personal reference, though.

{August 4, 2008}   “After”

After

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Shuichi really knows how to kill the mood.

Spoilers: Well, maybe if you’ve only seen the first episode…

Warnings: Sexual references.

Preference Warnings: Well, sex usually isn’t a problem for Gravitation fanpeople…

Notes: I wrote this one night when I desperately needed 100 words of fan fiction and nothing else was flowing. The inspiration was probably an episode of Genshiken, although it’s turned a bit on its head here – to pardon the expression.

{August 4, 2008}   “In Lights”

In Lights

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Eiri knows how he prefers his Shuichi.

Spoilers: None.

Warnings: None.

Preference Warnings: Maybe a bit contrived?

Notes: I’m not sure this came out quite as well as I pictured it in my head, but I’m quite proud of it, clunky descriptive paragraph and all.

{June 1, 2008}   “Tactics”

Tactics

Original Work: Gravitation

Summary: Eiri has his night-time quirks. Someone else does, too.

Spoilers: Nothing.

Warnings: None.

Preference Warnings: No porn. That might be a problem for some people.

Notes: I’ve always identified with Yuki more than makes sense, because we’re both cranky blonde writers and all. This is a quirk I have, that I can definitely see him having, too.
