No True Pair

Title: This Ghost Between Us
Author: takerzmuse
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Alternate series ending, character death. Romantic implications of the male/female and male/male kind.
Fandom: Gundam 00
Prompt: Setsuna F. Seiei and Louise Halevy are in a marriage of convenience
Spoilers: Up to 02x25, Rebirth.
Pairings/Characters: Setsuna F. Seiei x Louise Halevy, past Saji Crossroad x Louise Halevy and Setsuna F. Seiei + Saji Crossroad.
Summary: Theirs is not a home made of happiness and love, but of loss and dependency.
Author's Notes: Much as I love this pairing, it’s surprisingly hard to write it. *hangs head* Maybe I should just stick to SetsuFeldt/SajiLou.
Disclaimer: All things Gundam 00 belong to Sunrise and Bandai, with major props to Kouga Yun-sensei for the beautiful character designs. Grassy only lays claim to the plot.

( Saji’s ghost is what unites them. It’s also what divides them. )

Title: Before I Sleep
Author: takerzmuse
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Twincest of the male/male type. Angst. Bloodlust and biting.
Fandom: Vampire Knight
Prompt: Kiryuu Ichiru and Kiryuu Zero: double penetration
Spoilers: Chapter 39 and up, but definitely with my own spin on things.
Pairings/Characters: Kiryuu Ichiru/Kiryuu Zero
Summary: Zero… The last piece of my life… Eat it all…
Author's Notes: …this was supposed to be way sexier than it became. I wanted to use the prompt in the sense of Ichiru taking Zero, while Zero fed from Ichiru. Instead, it became this. Orz.
Disclaimer: All things Vampire Knight belong to Hino Matsuri-sensei. The poem used is Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost. Grassy only lays claim to the plot.

( Zero always gave in to Ichiru in the end; that was part of what made him who he was. )

Title: Desk Duty
Author: takerzmuse
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Some sexy of the male/male type, but nothing graphic. And a sad lack of nudity. *pouts*
Fandom: Vampire Knight
Prompt: Yagari Touga and Kurosu Kaien: body worship/fetishizing a body part
Spoilers: Chapter 51, for which I consider this a missing scene. :3
Pairings/Characters: Yagari Touga/Kurosu Kaien
Summary: Yagari has spent the past year doing Kurosu’s paperwork and other administration duties. Kurosu decides to make up for it.
Author's Notes: Because the newest chapter gave me the perfect set-up for this. Before that, I was floundering for an idea that didn’t revolve around Yagari’s blind eye.

( Touga should do paperwork more often when Kurosu was around if this was his reward. )

Title: Arise From Loving
Author: takerzmuse
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Alternate history/divergence thingy. Angst, not-quite romance of both the female/female and male/female types. Slight mentions of incest, but that’s to be expected, considering.
Fandom: Vampire Knight
Prompt: Kurosu Yuuki and Souen Ruka are in a marriage of convenience
Spoilers: Nothing extremely specific after chapter 48, other than a mention or two about the nature of an adult vampire’s feeding habits.
Pairings/Characters: Kurosu Kuran Yuuki/Souen Ruka, Kain Akatsuki + Souen Ruka, mentions of Kuran Yuuki + Kuran Kaname.
Summary: When Ruka first caught sight of the Kuran heir, she was still a child. But even a child could love and all of Ruka’s love was for Yuuki.
Author's Notes: This is less of a ficlet and more like an excerpt from a larger alternate history fic (that I will likely never write). All you really need to know is that Kaname, the son of Haruka and Juuri died, but Rido never raised the clan’s ancestor Kaname due to being very much deader than dead (and not coming back from it, either). Also not a pairing I ever considered writing - I’m firmly settled between the Zero/Yuuki and Kain/Ruka camps - but an idea I had some fun with nonetheless. And there’s a glaring lack of Kaname, which makes me happy. (After a certain point in canon, I have a hard time giving a damn about him at all, so. Yeah.)
Disclaimer: All things Vampire Knight belong to Hino Matsuri-sensei. The poem used is Aubade by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Grassy only lays claim to the plot.

( “If I’m not strong enough to bear such a weight, I don’t deserve to be near Yuuki-sama.” )

Title: Abject Lesson
Author: takerzmuse
Rated: R
Warnings: Hetero, non-graphic sexual content of dubious consent, but not quite non-con.
Fandom: Vampire Knight
Prompt: Kurosu Yuuki is trying to be silent, but Kiryuu Ichiru is shameless
Spoilers: Set sometime after chapter 31, but is mostly TWT.
Pairings/Characters: Kiryuu Ichiru x Kurosu Yuuki, Kiryuu Zero + Kurosu Yuuki.
Summary: Yuuki is the person closest to Zero’s heart. Ichiru knows this and acts accordingly.
Author's Notes: I. Really don’t know. Forgive me, Yuuki-chan! Zero-kun! *is shot*

( He will make her scream, be it his own name or Zero’s. )
