Origami Tales by Ariana Deralte

<sub>After five days of this, Koumyou had had exactly one hour of sleep, had advised an entire village that nudity and rice crackers would bring them closer to enlightenment, and was downing Essence of Lotus (for medicinal purpose only) like it was going out of style.

Consequently, when the five armed men appeared, blocking Koumyou and his party from the Yangtze River, Koumyou took out his blessed double-barrel shotgun, Marcus ― Koumyou wasn’t good at names ― and politely threatened to turn their leader into a bloody pulp if they didn’t get out of his way.</sub>

Supreme and utter hilarious irreverence. Also, a red permanent marker...::snickers::

The Trouble With H by Karu Leonnese

Hakkai/Gojyo and Sanze/Goku. Better than the title might imply, a bit of cute and a bit of funny and it makes me smile.

I realise this suddenly that I am in love with syncopated beats. Love.

It's like a joke and it's punchline, the storm and the pause before it, the break in the middle of a kiss before you crash back together, the zenith of a jump and the crash down afterward, the throb and pulse of blood, the spark and the explosion.

It's, the slight skip-bounce-energy in a pimp walk.

It's, your heart skipping a beat.

It's, losing your breath, and finding it again...
