hello~ Kari here. figured it was finally time to join the cool kids and get a graphics/writing journal. since i enjoy doing both, but didn't really see any point in having multiple project journals, i figured i'd just put everything here, tagged accordingly. feel free to poke around; i'll be hosting fics and icons and the like, maybe some original work at some point, who knows.

anyway! happy viewing, and don't ever hesitate to drop me a note. :D

Fandom: Bleach
Title: Taking Lessions
Request: For nizlaili's REQUEST on fic_on_demand. I don't usually do requests or gift fic...mostly because I fail at deadlines and actually getting them done, but I'd been trying to write some Bleach fic for a while and kept coming up with no ideas...and this request piqued my interest. Because predictable cat is predictable, and I do love gruff jerkfacey boys with hearts of gold. :D I hated the Bount Arc, and the built-up dynamic between Jinta and Renji was really the only thing I watched it for. >:[

Title: The Best Kept Secrets
Wordcount: 2,504
Pairing: Roy Mustang/Riza Hawkeye
Rating: totli G. unless you count grabbing. in mundane places. o.o
Warnings: SPOILERS FOR BOTH MANGA AND ANIME. due to the setup i needed for this to work, i had to use a situation from episode 51. so that spoiler is only minor situational. but the main point of the ficlet is the revelation at the end of manga chapter 57. you have been warned.
Summary: Riza has never been well-known as a trickster. That doesn't mean she doesn't have a mischievous streak.

( In all honesty, I didn't want to go. It seemed foolhardy and brash. And to be quite frank, I thought Roy was a jerk. )

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Theme: 14: 最後のキス「saigo no kisu」: ‘last kiss'
Wordcount: 5,617
Pairing: Roy + Ed (from the un-yaoi-ification of the 45 Roy/Ed themes cuz I hate the pairing, but this theme plus platonic begrudging relationship = awesome.)
Rating: PG13 to be safe...just some swearing.
Summary: What starts out as a normal day off for the Elric brothers ends up being the worst first date of Edward's life.

Many many thanks to tobu_ishi for her insight on the subject matter of this theme.
