love and joy and hijinks

Calling its plan a “market-based system to protect US customers and prevent US funding of sites dedicated to theft of US property,” the new bill gives broad powers to private actors. Any holder of intellectual property rights could simply send a letter to ad network operators like Google and to payment processors like MasterCard, Visa, and PayPal, demanding these companies cut off access to any site the IP holder names as an infringer.

David Price(notes) needs 20 seconds. TBS wants to talk with him, and so does a whole tangle of other people. He stares down at his iPad screen and asks for 10 seconds to finish up, and all it takes is five more seconds until he can finally follow through on this thing of utmost importance.

“Got to farm my broccoli,” Price says. “Big crop.”

[...]

The rigors of a 162-game season and the stressors of the playoffs send the Rays scurrying for an outlet, and they’ve found it on a 9.7-inch screen and a game that resembles the popular Farmville. The players download the app for free, and then start building their dream farm, replete with everything from broccoli rows to blackberry-surrounded baseball fields.

The We Farm devotees around the clubhouse compare their plots and commence the trash talking. Originally, it bottlenecked toward Shields, who in July started playing the game in the clubhouse so Ashtyn’s crops stayed in good shape. About a month later, he convinced others to join in, and they’ve been trying to match him ever since.

“He’s like 3,000th in the world,” Price says with admiration.

Better than Perfect

AN: Assume post-series sometime or other. Thanks to Violet Garnets for pointing out mistakes! ^_^b

Summary: Wherein Naruto has a scheme to remove Kakashi's mask, and Kakashi plays a game of gay chicken (he cheats).

Warnings: really really NC-17, semi-het (ie. Sexy no Jutsu)

.o0o.

"A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week."
- General George S. Patton

.o0o.

The blond-haired 'callgirl' shuddered as Kakashi ran a knuckle back and forth between her legs, over her panties, across the slight dip where she was the hottest, where the cloth was slowly growing wet.

"What was you name again?" Kakashi said, amused, wondering when the other shoe would drop, but deciding to play along however long he could get away with it. He bit and licked lightly at the corners of 'her' mouth through his mask, having already removed his hitai-ate, and smiled at the smell of miso.

Meditations on the act of Not-Failing

.o0o.

AN: NaruKakaNaru. Naruto's various ages, but the relationship happens when he's like 16.5.

So there was this challenge in the KakaNaru LJ comm...And it was only supposed to be one sentence per prompt. But I failed at it... BECAUSE I WROTE TOO MUCH. And I repost because I think they turned out rather well, and 'cause they worked out into a single universe. The prompts were: sunshine, regret, desire, death, white, road.

Warnings: NC-17, hops around time-wise, a lot of story between the cracks.

.o0o.

(road)

"Kakashi."

"Yo." He gave a lazy wave towards Asuma, not taking his eye from the training field.

"Shouldn't you be like, training them?"

The Emperor's New Clothes

.o0o.

AN: KakaNaruKaka. Naruto's 23ish? Hijinks. Thanks to romantiscue for audiencing and Wingwyrm for pinging me onto Iruka! XD

Warnings: None, pretty much gen.

.o0o.

Iruka.

Sandaime-sama. ...is there something wrong?

I appreciate the thought, and your kindness, but would have to ask you to cease and desist.

But it's just—

That's an order.

Hokage-sama, with all due respect, I can't take him out shopping?

Icarus Rises

.o0o.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and am not making money off this.

AN: Set in Ancient Greece. Might make more sense if you're aware of Athenian pederasty (the practice of having older lovers, 'erastes', court male teens, 'eromenos'). Thanks to Fallen-chan for the prompt!

Warning: KakaNaru, M/M/F, EXPLICIT SEX, mostly older Naruto. Sparse use of Japanese names in an inappropriate culture. ::wry:: Apologies! I couldn't figure out a way around it, and the lack of names got too confusing. And I couldn't figure out a workable equivalent in Greek. x.X;;

.o0o.

The blond comes to him at night, and he pulls him in from the window and shuts it tight.

"You shouldn't keep coming here," he says, pressing his face into the crook of that tanned neck, "You're already an adult."

The young man who used to be his eromenos just buries himself deeper into his embrace and chuckles, "I don't see you letting me go."

And I Would Walk 500 More

.o0o.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and am not making money off this.

AN: Brain was eaten by Tale 4's universe and Under the Oak Tree's prompt and... this happened.

Warning: KakaNaru, NaruKaka, non-explicit. CRACK. And hijinks. Will not make sense until you read Tale 4, and may not make sense even then. Female!Kakashi, sometimes female Naruto.

.o0o.

"Stop moping," her best friend demanded when she opened the door. "Look, I know that you thought you'd have more time together but she was fucking eighty for crying out loud. She had to go sometime."

Memoirs Of A

.o0o.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and am not making money off this.

AN: I'd wanted to post an older!NaruKaka, but this was taking up Doc Manager space and the Epic would not stop growing. ::wry::

Warning: KakaNaru, semi-underage, non-explicit.

.o0o.

"Ah Kakashi-san!" She bowed. "Good evening."

He tilted his head at the mistress of the house. He would normally not revisit a place, especially not one where he's apparently recognized, but.

<td> Take One Step Away by Kanzeyori
Disclaimer: Nothing is mine and I'm not trying to sell it. Summary: ...and what's the meaning of love anyway?
A spoof of the HP cliches, that grew a plot on me.
Go figure. Thanks to: Munky for betaing and B:tVS for Xander's linoleum comment. Note: Updated 4.18.3
