I now realize that the cough syrup I enjoy so much does not allow me to sleep.
It's four in the morning and I'm dredging up old fanfics from my bookmarks. I do believe I may post some quotes I find amusing, because WoW is down now and my snot-consumed brain honestly has nothing better to do.
Slayers:
The Breaking Point by dqbunny:
"Oh, great heavens," Lina muttered aloud as the realization sank in. Her two best friends, the same two that had been at her side for a good many of her biggest battles, were now boinking each other.
Fushigi Yuugi:
White Stones in the Moonlight by roku kyu:
"Sorry, sorry!" she cried apologetically.
"No, thank the gods that happened, because I was just about ready to toss the future of Konan out the window," Tasuki sighed. "One more minute, and the Maiden of Suzaku would be a maiden no longer, and then where would we all be?"
"Well, you and I would be pretty happy, at least for the few weeks we would have before Seiryuu crushed us," Miaka teased.
"Yeah, but it wouldn’t be very responsible of us, would it?"
"Since when did you get such a sense of responsibility?"
"I don’t know--but I can tell you that it fucking SUCKS!"
.....
Tasuki smirked at him and adopted his thickest country accent. "Whaddaya think? Tell him that he’s gotta take me to the fanciest inn in town for a nice dinner and some drinks. He owes me from th’ other night. I mean, a guy expects a little special treatment before he goes all the way on a first date."
.....
"Tasuki, you know that Hotohori gets irritated when you ambush and rob his servants whenever you feel the need to ‘brush up on your bandit skills.’"
"Don’t know why he gets his knickers in a twist," grumbled Tasuki. "I always give th’ stuff back."
"It might be because his servants go around in terror, never knowing if they’re going to encounter Tasuki, Suzaku no Seishi, or Genrou, Phantom Wolf of Mt. Reikaku."
.....
Although there was only one year’s difference in age between the two, Hotohori prided himself on his advanced maturity. It was no doubt due to the awesome responsibilities that he had been forced to assume while Tasuki, at the same age, had probably been playing in the dirt, stealing apples, and brawling with the village lads. Hotohori preened himself on his superior intellect and decided to treat Tasuki with the utmost kindness and graciousness, making allowances for his deprived background.
.....
"Rise, Tasuki. There is no need for you to kneel before us," Hotohori pronounced grandly. "We wish to offer our deepest regrets that we may have made any statements that caused you distress in any way. We assure you that we had no such intention. We want you to know that we hold you, our brother, in the highest esteem."
"We," muttered Tasuki under his breath. "Ya got a flea in your pocket, or somethin'?"
.....
"Chichiri-sama!" they called out happily, flying around him.
"Chichiri-sama’s here!"
"Chichiri-sama’s back!"
"Chichiri-sama frightened Nyan-nyan!"
"Almost as much as Taiitsukun’s face!"
"Has Chichiri-sama come to fix Taiitsukun’s face?!" They twittered and swooped, seeming to take joy in his unexpected visit.
.....
Tasuki turned serious and looked at Tamahome. "But there’s somethin' I gotta tell you, man." Tamahome waited apprehensively as Tasuki wrinkled his nose. "You smell like a goddamn cesspit! What the fuck? I was gonna drag you upstairs to get somethin' to eat, but you’re puttin’ me off my appetite! I’m gonna have to dump your ass in the bath before we go to lunch!" He pulled Tamahome up and threw him onto his back, carrying him out of the prison.
"Fuck you, Tasuki! Let’s see how sweet you smell after spending a week down here!"
Pause.
"Unfortunate choice of words there, Tama."
Beat.
"Ummm, I know…sorry, Tasuki."
Beat.
"Bwahahahahahaha! You're such a sucker, Tama! It's getting too easy to yank your chain now; it almost ain't fun anymore!"
"Shut up!"
For a few moments, there was only the sound of Tasuki’s footsteps, heavier under his burden, leaving the cell behind.
"Soooooooo...how cute do you think I am, really?"
"What?"
"I mean, on a scale of one to ten, what am I: an eleven?"
Pause.
"On a scale of one to ten, you’re an asshole, that’s what you are!"
"C’monnnnn..." a wheedling whine "...and what do you mean by cute? Like cute, cuddly--or cute, hot!"
Silence.
"You’re never going to let me forget this, are you?"
"Nope."
"You’re going to torture me for the rest of my life with this, aren’t you?"
"Yep."
"You’re going to forgive and forget everything except this, right?"
"Yep."
"You’re an asshole, you know that?"
"Hey, payback’s hell, ‘Home!"
.....
Tasuki moved forward another step, so that all eyes turned to him. He looked carefully into each face, then began to draw his eyebrows down, his eyes tilting up in mischief. He quirked up one corner of his mouth until they were all treated to the full glory of his bandit smirk.
"Ladies and gentlemen and those in between," he winked at Nuriko, "Seishi and Miko, we have an announcement! Tamahome has decided to make an honest man out of me at last. We’re getting married next week!"
.....
"WHAT in the FUCKING HELL were ya TRYING TA DO? Didn't I tell ya ta WAIT until I got CLEAR? Are ya TRYIN' ta FUCKIN' DEFLOWER ME AGAIN with a GODDAMN FIRECRACKER!"
Bleach:
Crushing the Flower by vain flower:
It wasn’t his fault, he tried to reason with himself, he was still young, much younger than the other seated officers of the fourth, and Captain Ichimaru was handsome in a frightening, serial killer sort of way.
Penetration by granate:
“I-I just wanted to know about Arrancar holes!” she blubbered, “U-Ulquiorra’s isn’t big enough!”
Grimmjow’s face twitched and then he covered his face with his hands. His shoulders shook and Orihime could hear some chortling noises before he tipped his head back and laughed. It was a more genuine laugh than she would ever have thought he could make, completely lacking the cruel, bloodthirsty undertones she’d heard before. He grinned roguishly as he looked down at himself.
“Damn right mine’s bigger,” he snickered, dripping with pride.
“Yeah, it’s much bigger!” she nodded eagerly.
