Title: Moonlit Toast
Rating: PG
Characters: Rider, Rin
Word Count: 591
Warning/s: Minor spoilers for Heaven's Feel, but nothing too huge.
Summary: Mortality has a bitter tang indeed.
Dedication: For katiroth! I hope you have a happy birthday, and enjoy the ficlet. It's a bit more melancholy than I wanted, but it's chock full of Rider, and that's what counts the most. XD And the poem she's reading at the beginning(not that you actually see it, but oh well)? Ozymandias. I thought it fit nicely.
A/N:For the September 07 challenge at 31_days: You look a little bit older, a little bit colder.

Hisashiburine, everyone. Oooh, look at my fangirl-Japanese everyone! *headdesks* I have been busy lately with rl, and could have made a few worthless short posts, but decided to wait and make a longer one that was actually not mind-numbingly boring to read.

Anyway, as all students out there know, May is latin for "Study your ass off for finals", and sadly I am no exception. My fic output has slowed down to a trickle, but luckily June follows May, so I'll be able to pick up where I left off. If I do write anything, it'll be for fsn_fiction's May Challenge, which I'm pretty sure is going to go zero entries this time thanks to finals.

Good news is a guy I work with at Famima who reads/speaks Japanese fairly well (his own estimate is about as well as a 13 year old native) has volunteered to translate my doujinshi for me-he says it'll be good practice for him (since he wants to become a translator). The wonderful, generous, Buddha-like man doesn't know he's going to be facing a deluge of Archer x Rin stuff...especially since I just ordered this (should be here in four more days, along with an Usa-chan cell phone strap, and I'm planning on buying those two Archer x Rin doujinshi on eBay as well. Just goes to show you that the benefits of working in a store owned by a Japanese company aren't to be underestimated. *glees out* We need to work out a day we're both free to meet, but once we do...*rubs hands together* And of course, I'll share the wealth using the magic of his translations and photoshop. It's!Going!To!Be!Awesome!

Speaking of Archer x Rin, yukari_rin, if your net's still acting up on you, could you just email me the fic? I'm dying to read it. <33333

Fun meme I spotted on katiroth's lj.

Be HONEST no matter what.


1. What is your natural hair color?
Honestly: Very dark blonde, originally much lighter when I was a kid. It just darkened as I got older-I’ve never dyed it even once.
