Self-Explanatory

Dear Readers,

LJ has so disgusted me with their attitude toward fic and fandom, their creeping censorship, and their utter lack of care for or attention to we their content providers that I no longer feel comfortable posting here. All entries on this journal will be replaced with links to my off-site archive. They will be left unlocked but no further entries of any kind will be made.

If you'd like to keep following my fic, the branch_fic feed journal will carry summaries and links to my new fic posts, as will my IJ, and all of my stories are archived on my web site, which I have good hopes will be a stable location. As stable as anything gets on the internet, anyway.

Taste Your Salt Water Kisses

Ritsuka won't move out so Soubi moves in. Everyone involved has to readjust their lives. Drama with Angst and Romance, I-5, implicit spoilers

"Ritsuka." Soubi touched his cheek, eyes dark. "I can't just leave you here unprotected. I can't. Don't ask me to, please." He was perfectly willing to beg for this, except that didn't always work with Ritsuka. A tiny part of him didn't think that was fair.

Ride Your Wild Horses

A final confrontation between Seimei and Ritsuka requires Ritsuka and Soubi to finally make their choices. Drama with Romance, I-4, spoilers to vol. 9

"I didn't understand," Ritsuka told him simply. "You surprised me. I didn't understand any of this." His wave took in the building around them and the pair behind him. "But I think... I think maybe I do now."

Before they face the last battle, Kurogane wants to settle a few things. (Since CLAMP have slacked off showing us the good stuff.) Porn with Romance, I-3, spoilers through iss. 182

"It's practically a scratch, it heals right away, and it barely even hurts," Kurogane said flatly.

Fai blinked. "It... doesn't?" His shoulders relaxed a shade.

"No, it doesn't." Kurogane looked at Fai for a long, thoughtful moment before holding out his hand. "Come here. I'll show you."

Braid Your Hair With Wind

Relena is in training and Zechs is distressed. In the background, Treize and Barton plan. Drama, I-2

Treize watched with some amusement as Zechs paced back and forth through his office, scowling at thin air, long hair fanning out at every turn. "I'd say you should check in on how her training is going and set your mind at ease," he offered, "but somehow, knowing you lovely sister, I feel sure she's threatened you with a dire fate if you do."

"She told me she'd get a training suit and step on me if she saw me," Zechs confirmed, glumly. "I really don't know where she got her temper from."

Soi is worn out from work and Yoruichi comes to visit. Drama with Fluffiness, I-3

"Your hair will snarl if you leave it like that," Yoruichi-sama told her, plucking the half-unraveled braid out of Soi's fingers. Soi blushed a little, but sat meekly while Yoruichi-sama undid her hair with swift, warm hands. "What's going on that's got you so worn out?"

"So, I'm evil?" Hajime-san murmured against Yuuta's shoulder, after a moment.

Shreds of Cinnamon

Strawberry Season

Yuuta lets himself be a little distracted by new things; his team notices; maybe Yuuta doesn't care. Romance with Humor, I-3
