Title: Where the White Lilies Grow (10/10)
Universes: Haru wo Daiteita & Casino Lily
Pairings: Carlo/Magira, Iwaki/Katou, Shouji/Shu Ti Fan
Rating, all over: NC-17
Warnings, all over: Explicit sex and violence. Shameless Romance. This is not an angst-fest.
Word count, this part: 11,000 – the entire fic: 46,000
Notes: List of all chapters over @ IJ here. This fic is for elfflame who wanted me to put Magira in this situation. An "oyabun" is the non-blood-related "father" in the relationship between a younger yakuza and his older protector. The line of poetry comes from "The Song of the Bowmen of Shu" in Ezra Pound's brilliant approximation (1914) to Wen Wang's ("Bunno" in Japanese) poem. Also, regarding canon names in CL, there're differences from the scanlation to the US translation, and again to the Jp version. Bear with it, if it doesn't sound like the name you're used to. (And of course I don't have my JP manga here. Grrrr.)
Summary: When Carlo comes home from a business trip only to discover that Magira has left him, he has to change the passive way he usually takes when it comes to defending his relationship with the charming, but spoiled young player. Carlo has once offered to wager his entire fortune in exchange for Magira's company. This time, Carlo has to realise that his life might be at stake as well...

Title: Realism (Hamlet Done Haru-style)
Rating: PG
Fandom: Haru wo Daiteita (Embracing Love)
Pairing: Kikuchi/Onozuka
Characters: Katou, Kikuchi, Onozuka, Yoshizumi, Asano
Word count: ~1,975
Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part. Should be obvious, but Hamlet dialogue was written by William Shakespeare, not me. ~_^
Summary: Katou's portrayal of Hamlet is perhaps a little too realistic.

Author's note: I blame this fic all on bronze_ribbons for feeding the plot bunny! ^_^ This was inspired by her drabble More Than Kin and Less Than Kind--I couldn't get the image of Katou and Kikuchi acting in Hamlet together out of my mind, and this is the result. I borrowed the director's name, Ninagawa, from the original drabble.

(Please note--although Kikuchi and Onozuka are a couple in this fic, it is a stand-alone story and not part of my Kikuchi/Onozuka series that begins with Comeback.)

If you're a bit rusty on your Shakespeare, you can find a summary of Hamlet here, and the dialogue for the complete final scene here.

Warnings: nah.
Word count: 1,300
Notes: For my beloved red_day_dawning.
About Japanese furniture: kotatsu are low tables with a heater and a heavy quilt under the tabletop. Often used to sleep under when it is very cold. Kakebuton is the top part, the "duvet" part of a futon set.
Summary: Iwaki Masahiko's life didn't turn out like he wanted it to and his brother's and Katou Youji's shameless behaviour doesn't make it easier to cope with more than thirty years of repressed... repression. But Masahiko is forced to look at the way he has lived his life until now and on his values he thought he had established so firmly. Serious changes are bound to happen...

Miyasaka screamed, "This will ruin me, Katou!"

Katou retorted, "It will prove you aren't just pretty. You aren't getting any younger." Katou smiled to himself, remembering what Kaneko had repeated to him.

"Katou," Miyasaka pleaded. "I know it isn't shameful, taking it. But I can't play an AV actor getting raped--"

"You owe it to Iwaki-san," Katou hissed. "Not because of what you tried, but because this film was written for him. It's the best script Mochimune's ever created: you will do everything they demand."

"I'm gonna get eaten alive!" Miysaka whimpered.

Katou showed his teeth. "That's my bonus."
