Title: See The Love There That's Sleeping
Rating: MA. That means angsty not-worksafe Archer/Rin love.
Characters: Archer x Rin
Word Count: 7,038
Warning/s: Heaven's Feel spoilers, and a lot of them too. I don't think anyone should feel too lost, though.
Summary: The day had started out so normally. Who would have thought tonight everything would change?
Dedication: For rianax, who leaves the loveliest reviews and sends me Discworld, yet I have tragically not written a thing for before. No more!
A/N: Done for the 30_lemons challenge number 20. First Timers, or, "Yes! I'm Finally Getting Some!", also known by it’s secret title “First Timers, or “This challenge was designed specifically to turn Yuurei’s brain into mush, because it forces her to write angsty sex and she SUCKS at it.” =____= More (long-ass) notes to follow after the fic.

( I don't know why nobody told you/how to unfold you love/I don't know how someone controlled you/they bought you and sold you )

You may not know this, beloved f-list members who also happen to be Archer x Rin fans, but this very night as I was fooling around on the net I was charged with a holy mission by Archer, God of Sexiness and Unconventional Uses of Tracing and Chocolate Syrup. And lo, he said unto me as my nose steadily bleed in the face of his unbelievable hotness:

"Yuurei, I didn't get to sex Rin up AT ALL in your latest 30_lemons challenge. The whole point of a lemon challege is that I get to have fiery hot sex with Rin, and that clearly hasn't happened yet. TO make up for this travesty failure of yours, you must edit Yozora's translation of ROT's Christmas Eve webkoma immediately.

...And for God's sake, stop drooling. You're disgracing us both. And don't think I don't know what you're trying to grope."

F-list, the word of Archer.

Title: Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Rating: MA. That means sex, boys and girls! Or at least it would if there WAS sex in this chapter, and not just Archer thinking really, really hard about it.
Characters: Archer x Rin
Word Count: 1648
Warning/s: Some minor Heaven's Feel spoilers.
Summary: Of practically its own volition, Archer's gaze whipped back to the open bathroom window.
Dedication: To anonymous_proxy, because it's been a while since I've dedicated something to you. Sorry it had to be this. *cowers apologetically*
A/N: Done for my Archer x Rin 30_lemons challenge, using prompt 21. Alone Time, or, "When I Think About You, I Touch Myself". I'm truly, truly sorry about the title of this chapter, but frankly it's going to take a stronger willed person than me to NOT go for the Across The Universe song with the most suggestive title when doing a theme based on, um...well, choose your own euphemism. =_____= Although I ended up sticking to the theme without having to resort to Archer..relieving his frustration. I'd thank God for this, but I have a feeling this was more the work of Satan.

And yes, I realize this is the second 30_lemons claim I've done, and Archer and Rin still have yet to actually have sex in any meaningful (i.e., lengthy and descriptive) way. Will fix that with chapter 3~!

Note: Re-edited, since I wasn’t happy with my original finished product. Hopefully, the additions will help with the confusion of people who aren’t all that familiar with the Heaven’s Feel route.

Title: I've Just Seen A Face
Rating: MA. That means sex, boys and girls!
Characters: Archer x Rin
Word Count: 954
Warning/s: Nothing for the moment, but Heaven's Feel spoilers are coming in later chapters.
Summary: His face is never clear.
Dedication: To yukari_rin. Think of this as a pre-birthday(or as I call it, "Christmas In October") present, warming you up for the actual gift. *blows kiss*
A/N: Done for my Archer x Rin 30_lemons challenge, using prompt 1: "Anonymity, or, "Taken by the Faceless Stranger". I'm planning on using all 30 themes as part of an interconnected story based on an alternate take on the Heaven's Feel(Sakura's) route of the game Fate/Stay Night. Chronologically, this chapter takes place some years after the end of the game. I promise the inevitable questions (i.e., how Archer is there at all) will be answered in upcoming chapters. I've been on an Across The Universe kick lately, so the overall story is being called a slight variation on that, and each chapter will be titled using lyrics from the movie songs. I'm a huge dork, I know, and really sorry if this causes any undue confusion.

Uuuuuuuuguuuu~~~~. It is currently hotter than hell right now, and has been for the past week or so, which is why I haven't posted earlier. Yahoo says it's only 78, but Yahoo is a big fat liar who is currently NOT sweating out half their body weight right now like yours truly. It's been so bad lately I actually haven't gotten alot of sleep for the past few days-it's simply been to hot to do so. Times like these make me want to ask for AC for Christmas. @______@ Dad's always been against it, on the basis that it doesn't get hot often enough to warrant it (CHEAP OLD MAN!!!!), but if this heat wave keeps up, even he's going to crumble. Right now I'm dealing with a fan going full blast, lots of ice cold C.C.Lemon, and my choco-coffee popsticle sticks, once they finally freeze.

School's officially been in session for about a week now, which, of course, means my asshat plot!bunnies are up and swarming, now that I actually have important things to be doing and less free time. Frankly, the sleep-deprivation and mirage inducing heat aren't helping things any.

Bunny: You know you want to stick Rin in a nurse outfit.
Me: *covers head with pillow*
Bunny: And if you set it during World War II, you have an excuse to stick Archer in a leather bomber jacket!
Me: Shutupshutupshutupshutup.
Bunny: In France. How does Normandy sound? Or Provance? All that lavender makes for a lovely touch.
Me: LET ME SLEEP, DAMMIT.
Bunny: One of us! One of us! Heeheehee!!!!
Me: ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid bunny. It just won't shut up about WWII! Nurse Rin! Allied Forces Soldier Archer! Playing doctor, literally and figuratively! *headdeskheaddeskheaddesk* I even think I know a way to work it into the September challenge theme at fsn_fiction, wisdom. WHY CAN'T THE BUNNIES GIVE ME SOME HELP WITH GILDED HAWTHORN? WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????????????????????????????????

Bunny: Maybe if you were taking a class on Victorian England, instead of U.S. History after 1945...
Me: Don't make me spay you.
Bunny: Just try it, bitch.


*sigh* I'm going to take a cold bath now, in a desperate attempt to cool off. Hope you all have a nice Labor Day

Just had my first day of school, and it wasn't bad at all. It's a bit early to tell, admittedly, and I still have one more class on Thursday, but I have a hopeful feeling in general. I especially think my decision to take classes earlier in the morning was a good one. Waking up for them may be a pain, but I really felt like I was wasting a lot of my day taking all night classes like I did for Spring semester. At least this way 2/3 of the time I'll be out by 5 and can stop by Santouka for a nice bowl of ramen...which I actually plan on doing in a bit, because I ♥ ramen and it's been FOUR whole days since my last bowl.

Yes, I have an addictive personality, how did you ever guess?

I have to give a great deal of credit for my good mood to the ever fabulous yukari_rin, whose greatness can only be expressed in terms of infinity. After the Ball, her lovely MA fic of historical Archer x Rin goodness, was pure, undiluted genius. You can read it, as well as all my gushing fangirlism comments to it at the above link. Check it out and raise your voice in praise of Rin! *shakes fist at net* Praiiiiiisse heeeeeerrrrrrr!!!!

She even took my mind off of how Famima totally screwed me out of $100 worth of work, something that really freaking pissed me off. I talked with the manager, and he said that a special check making up the difference should be getting to me soon, but that still doesn't change the fact it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Not to mention he didn't say how long it would take and if I would get it in my home mail or at work. [/uber-pissed] I swear to God, as soon as something else I think I can tolerate opens up at the 3rd Street Promenade, I'm quitting so fast I'll leave dust clouds. Bad enough that I have to put up with asshole customers, the garbage of asshole customers, and crazy homeless people, but getting paid less than I should? No. Fucking. Way.

And because I just have to put this part of my chat with yukari_rin up-it's too funny not to:

Yuurei-san says:
Fortunately, I do, though if I ever lose a regular source of income I'll probably be reduced to selling my organs on the black market to feed my fix. @_______@
jet girl says:
Haha
Yuurei-san says:
Me: I mean, what has my heart ever done for me?
jet girl says:
*laughs*
Yuurei-san says:
Me: Does a spleen even *do* anything? Really?
jet girl says:
:]
Yuurei-san says:
I actually really don't know? Is it the floating rib equivalent of an organ? *wikis it*
Yuurei-san says:
"The spleen is an organ located in the abdomen, where it functions in the destruction of old red blood cells and holding a reservoir of blood. It is regarded as one of the centers of activity of the reticuloendothelial system (part of the immune system). Until recently, the purpose of the spleen was not known. "
Yuurei-san says:
That last part made me laugh
Yuurei-san says:
Like, even doctors didn't know until recently XDD
jet girl says:
Hahahaha.
Yuurei-san says:
Which is pretty sad, when you think about it
Yuurei-san says:
Like, all that focus on heart/liver/intestines, but not the humble spleen?
Yuurei-san says:
It's so much fun to say spleen too
jet girl says:
XDD
Yuurei-san says:
Try it
Yuurei-san says:
"Spleen."
jet girl says:
I'm laughing too much to say it.
jet girl says:
>>;
jet girl says:
*is shot*
Yuurei-san says:
"Spleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen."
jet girl says:
*chokes*


I love you, Rin. XDDDD Marry me, please. LOVE IS THICKER THAN BLOOD~~~~~!!!! ♥

Edit: I claimed Yoruichi at iam_the community! Check out the banner, made by fabulous mod systematic:

Hahaha, there is one word and one word only to describe this post:


LATE



It's my own fault, really. I didn't want to do a Comic-Con post until my pics were developed-sadly,when I finally got them back, the great majority of them were fairly bad. Mostly the problem was they were really underlit, which goes to show the wisdom of buying the cheapest camera brand. -___-; Next year Kodak for sure!

Anyway, Con summary, then pics.
( Highlights and Pics, for you! )


( InuNeko Stamp! Doujinshi )

( Cut for fear someone who knows me in RL will see this )

And dude, I was up for this. I thought was just imagining the floor vibrating. 0____0

Happy Tanabata, everyone~~~~~~!!!!
And to haku (whom kindly remains friended with me in spite of my horrible neglect, bless her), HAPPY BIRTHDAY!



Sorry for teh sucky shop, since I don't have HAXX0RZ photoshop skills like most people on my f-list. Still, it's got Jensen Ackles fine self, so that should count for something, right? XD

After much, MUCH schedule conflict, I finally managed to meet up with Boeken at his place on Monday. He and his girlfriend managed to translate 9 pages of my Archer x Rin doujinshi, Ease, and one one-shot komi before we had to call it quits. I'm definitely very pleased with how much we got done in just a few hours, though. Hopefully next time we'll finish the entire doujinshi. Archer x Rin scanslations for the greater good! XDDDD



Oh, Archer, you flirt. Can't say I blame Rin for being embarrassed here.

*asdfkdsjfadfijkdsfjkfkds* *spazzes*

5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

I haven't posted lately-it seems I just haven't had the energy nor inclination. It has been a pretty hectic week, and I sprained my ankle at work on top of everything else. When your job pretty much consists of standing up for hours at a time, this can be very painful. It's mostly fine now, but my Achilles tendon is still feeling pretty tender, so I'm being careful.

I think I did mostly okay on my finals. It's out of my hands now, at any rate.

I've caught up with Darker Than Black, at least up to episode 10. According to the animesuki forums (not the best of sources, but whatever) we should be getting Yin backstory around episode 14. MOAR YIN, PLZ.

Ordered a cute Archer x Rin doujinshi from jpqueen, which should be here in about four more days, since they're pretty reliable when it comes to that sort of thing. And hello, nekomimi!Archer always wins. ALWAYS.

Also speaking of Team Red/Black, ficrec for any Archer x Rin fans out there: this unnamed ficlet by annwyd is excellent. I really hope she writes more.

I'll be getting my paycheck Friday, too-a Very Good Thing(moreso than usual, I mean). Why, you ask? One word, friends.


Discworld.(Or, as Death would put it, "DISCWORLD".)


Yes, I finally, after all these years of putting it off, bought The Colour of Magic (An amusing if overly succinent summary of which can be found here0 8 days ago. Since then, I've bought eight more Discworld books, and will insatiably continue to devour more. Seeing as there are 36 in all, this is going to add up pretty quickly. Hence the necessity of getting more money. By far my favorite characters are Death and Rincewind, although there are many others I'm pretty fond of. Anyway, I really can't do a summary that'll do the series justice, so I'll just leave it to the wikipedia folks. This I will say: what I love about Discworld it's that it's fantasy with a nice healthy helping of snark-and well done snark at that- parodying everything under the sun, that nonetheless has it's moments of transcendence.

A book series just doesn't get much better than that. Now, to find the SkyOne adaptation of Hogfather.

But first: HAIL PRATCHETT! And some words of wisdom from the master himself, concerning:

MODELING...
I think I would like to go into modelling. Of course, I don't know how to do it, and wouldn't be any good at it if I did, so I'm going to employ someone to walk the catwalks on my behalf. It would still be me, of course...

--Terry Pratchett learns Naomi Campbell has "written" a book

GOVERNMENT...
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

--Terry Pratchett

HEALTHCARE...
I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say "it was god's will" when granny dies, but they get angry when they lose a cow.


--Terry Pratchett

Meh. I woke up late, so normally I'd be hauling ass to the bus stop to get to my work shift on time, but luckily dad got off work early, and is kind enough to drive me. So I have a little time. <3


My weekend? Working mainly. I imagine it's going to be quite crazy. -____- But there is oneshining spot in the whole deal....


PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 3, BITCHES.It's going to be awesome, I don't care what all the Bruckheimer-haters out there say. Hello, it's got Chow Yun Fat, Johnny Deep, and Orlando Bloom in it, what more do you need? XD

Unfortunately, work is preventing me from seeing the premiere, but I'm seeing it at a really nice theater with a big-ass screen on Monday with the family, so it's all good. Unless I'm scheduled to work on Monday, PLEASE GOD NO.

And it official: yukari_rin owns me, body and soul. A Sudden Heat, my Archer x Rin birthday smut, was so awesome it actually killed me. Fortunately Rin was kind enough to preserve my body and find a shaman to put my soul back in it. Of course, I'm still nosebleeding whenever I think about it, but I'm otherwise living a productive life. <3


And of course, I'm making this post from Aya(written with the character for night, if you must know. What, I like the name?), my brand new Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop, whom I love very much. Welcome to my electronic family, Aya-tan~~I'm sure Airbender and Kakashi will be good to you! *is totally comfortable in her insanity*

*DIES IN A COMBONATION OF HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER AND SERIOUS PITY FOR THE CANON F/SN CHARACTERS*

And I got my paycheck, so y'all know what that means: THE WANT LIST!

Want:Honeysuckle (not at all suggestive *eye roll*)[Archer x Rin Doujinshi], Circle:WNB/Mako Tatekawa, Setsu Yuena　

Really, really, REALLY want: Ein Edelstein [Archer x Rin doujinshi], Circle:Minx. A bit more expensive than the first one, but it IS longer, and the art looks fantastic. It's all one circle too, so the style is probably consistent.

Edit: HAHAHAHAHAHA IT'S MINE, ALL MINE, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING SOOOOOOOO LONG FOR IT~~~~~~I'D LIKE TO THANK THE U.S. GOVERNMENT FOR ESSENTIALLY BUYING IT FOR ME WITH MY TAX REFUND, YES.

GOD I WANT THIS SO FUCKING MUCH. GEH. *FROTHS AT MOUTH* The other ones are pretty nice too, but for the Archer and Rin one I am prepared to part with a ridiculous sum of money. *headdesks* They're a limited edition release for Realta Nua, you see, and incredibly hard to find. *facepalms* I'm so weak...


Also, three entries total(including my own) for fsn_fiction's April Challenge. This makes me pretty damn happy, let me tell you.

Well, I finally got tired of the sad, sad, sad lack of Archer x Rin colorbars out there, so me and my crappy photoshop skills whipped up the following. I'll probably put up some more later, but for now I'm more or less happy with what I've made. And it's not like anyone else out there has made colorbars for any of the following pairings that outdo mine...MAINLY CAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST. Anyway, feel free to take. And for those of you who are wondering who the hell Irisviel is...click the link. (Warning: Fate/Zero spoilers). I'll talk on why I made a colorbar for KiriIris in the first place later as well.

Back:

All in all I'm really pleased with the doujinshi. Between this, Furuba 16, and my new make-up palette I'm in a really good mood right now. Any bits that can be translated would be highly appreciated.Including fic-bribery. ^_____^

Edit: The goddess-like angelinamaxwell made icons using my scans. CHECK THEM OUT.

Got the doujinshi I wanted, so YAYS!!!! Will put up scans once I get it in a week or so. It'll help me feel better about working five days through Spring Break. XP At least the money balms my soul (though sadly not my aching legs).

I've been craving Archer x Rin in a seriously disturbing way (and I was bored), so I made two more mock motivational posters(scroll over for lame snarky commentary!) just for the hell of it. I hope we get some entries in fsn_fiction's April Challenge soon...I'm going through withdrawal here. I'm planning on writing my own anyway, but still, seeing stuff from other people (especially Archer x Rin, duh) always makes me happy.

( At the risk of sounding like the world's most vapid heiress...that's hot.*is shot, and rightfully so* )

And here's my "thanks for putting up with my OTP obessession" mp3. Enjoy!

I WANTS IT. I WANTS IT SO BAD. BUT WHY SO EXPENSIVE, SHIPPING? *curses her stupid, not showing up till the 10th paycheck*

I also want this. You know, while I'm whining about shit I want. In my own defense, it is pretty nifty.

And for putting up with my complaining: a seriously beautiful song. If I had to chose an image song for myself, this would be it. I first heard it in a Archer x Rin AMV of all things. The AMV wasn't that great, but I loved the song, so I downloaded it. If it doesn't go through, let me know and I'll try again.

Also, I found this neat little program for making your own mock motivational posters. Anyone who knows how much I love Despair, Inc. (personal favorite: Achievement) will know I had a blast making a bunch of my own. All Fate/Stay Night (mostly Archer x Rin), all under the cut as they're fairly decent sized. Enjoy!
