Memeage from daegaer

Name five totally self-indulgent story ideas. (The fanfic you would write if you didn't care if you had an audience and also had no shame.)

1. Goukou x Kaiei
-original dragons incest. Atavistically possessed Goukou forces his attentions on accommodating 'fine with that' oldest son, followed by complete happiness on both sides.

2. Aoarashi x Ritsu
-100 Demons BTN yaoi in which pointy-ears!Aoarashi is Any Kewl Angsty Demon Rapist ('Your grandfather made me his possession. Now I make you mine. Bwahaha!/ Why do mortals die so soon? Ohhh Kagyuu-- Come baaaack to me!') and Ritsu is Oh god why me/ oh jeezus these youkai/ fine, fine, 'Here I am, do as you please.' (Marriage of Figaro, "Io son qui, fate quel che volete." You are to hear that line as sung by Kiri te Kanawa BTW.)

Followed possibly by Aoarashi's So uhh where does it go? Ritsu: Look, this was *your* idea. *You* figure out where it goes.

3. Aoarashi x Kai
-as suggested by [livejournal.com profile] mvrdrk. Kai the wannabe onmyouji is always dropping heavy remarks to Ritsu about getting a piece (literally) of Aoarashi, his father's strongest shikigami who got split into four a while ago. (Carrots in ears Kai somehow can't grasp that Aoarashi isn't Ritsu's to give or take as he pleases. 'Just one piece, one liiiitle tiny piece, aww c'mon?') Kai takes matters into his own hands and goes after Aoarashi directly. Annoyed Aoarashi, who's always had a low opinion of Kai anyway, turns tables and gets a piece of Kai. Comedy. More comic if Aoarashi is in human form cause ya know, that body is probably younger than Kai is now.

4. Kai /Akama
-because Kai isn't a total jerk and is, in fact, better at onmyouji-ing than Ritsu, who I believe never tries very hard to be one. Hell, even Akira in her amateur way is better at onmyouji-ing than Ritsu. Both Kai and Akama have very good opinions of themselves au fond, though I'm seeing the effect of Kai having walked into a house at 21 and left after the weekend to find he's 46. The best part of adulthood, the time when you set up the conditions that let you live in the declining years- marriage, work, kids- gone like *that*. What's he got left but what he always wanted, which is mastery over youkai? and if it costs him years off his life, well, he's already lost so many of those a few more won't matter. A confrontation between Akama, the youkai with too much time on his hands and an itchy compulsive interest in humans, and Kai, the human with not enough time and an itchy compulsive interest in youkai, might be interesting. Also I'd like to see Akama pwned by a clever someone who does it consciously, as opposed to Tsukasa's selective vision technique: 'Ak, a cockroach! WHAP!!'

5. Waki x Konoe (or is it Konoe x Waki?)
-Ze comfort fic. Because shikigami makers need love too, and Konoe's the only one thoughtful enough to provide it. If Waki is angsting over Kon's original, or some kami who resembled Kon, whichever, tall manly bad-mouthing kami won't quite fit the bill, but hey- paper is an adaptable medium. And Konoe *thinks*, which sets him apart from the other kami.

Wah, I can't decide which one I want to see more, Aoarashi X Ritsu. or Kai X Akama. Though I have to say that Kai X Akama is not so self-indulgent. But no one wants to see Kai X Ritsu?

Kai X Ritsu gives me a bad taste in my mouth. Kai already comes on too strong with Ritsu, Ritsu already has a settled distrust of Kai, it's an edgy unpleasant relationship where neither behave terribly well. Add sex to it and I think it would turn nasty. There's no reason I can think of for Ritsu wanting to have sex with Kai, so it would have to be coercive.

I can *just* envision a scenario where Ritsu gives in to Aoarashi- the basic attraction to the youkai Other that Ritsu denies having but which he might indeed have inherited from his grandfather gets conflated with this mysterious attractive thing called sex, so that the whole thing starts looking attractive; the sense that by being that close to Aoarashi he'll have gained some new knowledge or mastery over him overwhelms his innate distrust of/ contempt for his shikigami. But I can't envision a scenario with Kai. Ritsu has taken Kai's measure, and any sympathy he intellectually feels for Kai's plight is tempered by a rational knowledge of Kai's (quite selfish and cold-blooded) character.

You're right about Kai X Ritsu, of course, but as this is about self-indulgence... Aoarashi X Ritsu -- if I try to envision this I see Ritsu kind of being a little long-suffering and indulgent, which is not too far-fetched form their normal relationship. But I'll really sqee over a PMT and Aoneko cross-over. Many more possibilities.

I had the crossover as an entry but since it's not terribly self-indulgent unless done badly, I dropped it in favour of the Ze one. Having read some Aoneko 3, I can see why you might want the stories kept separate: Motoni has a certain uhh unpleasing and sardonic coldness in her view of her characters, that sits uneasily next to Ima's dry-eyed but empathic view of hers. But for that reason I'd like to put them on the same narrative level and inject a little colour, or at least toner, into Motoni's freezing black and white.

But then I thought, translate Aoneko into Ima-terms and what else does he become but our young master? Twitty, fancies his own charms, solves mysteries... Horrors. But there's that cool blond bordello owner, he'd go nicely next to Yosaburo... except that in Ima-terms he *is* Yosaburo. Attached to the floating world, favoured by the Twit, more than a little scary. And then I thought, this can't be right, I'm sick and not thinking straight and will not consider this again until I've reread everything and feel less fuzzy.

Damn but I want to do something with Yosaburo though. Of all Ima's pale glasses-wearers, he's the one who hits home. Alas that he also reminds me more than a little of Stephen Maturin.

Young master, absolutely. I'm not sure that cool blond bordello owner is Yosaburo though. I'm more inclined to think of him as the mysterious bordello owner in PMT as well. Yosaburo is... how to put it ... more earnest in his own way. But the thing about Motoni Modoru is that she has style, and if Aoneko is not in sharp black and white then that's half of Aoneko gone. The interesting thing about something like this is how to mingle the two styles. Mingling the characters is somewhat less important.

Really? (mildly floored by the enthusiasm) Uhh- but why? Is father-son a bullet-proof kink of yours, or is it a desire to see Kaiei remaining in character in a totally out of character scenario?

Frankly I'm more interested in how you turn Goukou's self disgust/loathing at the thought into "complete happiness" after the act. It's intriguing if nothing else.

[identity profile] flemmings.livejournal.com 2007-01-14 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
That's where the shameless self-indulgence/ doujinshi A/U comes in, I suppose. I can *almost* see it happening. What's terrible and horrible and unspeakable in Goukou's head may look quite different in the face of Kaiei's calm and rational acceptance. 'Complete happiness' is possibly pushing it, but acceptance I can see.

After all, Goukou's moral standards have been compromised by personal feeling before this: 'The second brother cannot lie beneath the fourth! It's unheard of- disgraceful- unnatural! He deserves to die! well but of course if they want to so much and nobody knows about it, least said soonest mended etc etc'

Goku X Kaiei...umm may I join in to say.."Oh Go on...you know you want to. Yes.. Really!" *Waving Dragon incest and happily ever after banner!*...

I can't wait for Shahrazad to be old enough to appreciate all this, I know i'm a little ahead of time here...but She will love it. Seriously! I know these things! ^__^

hmm, must see about getting some dragon icons...

The new breed of mothers makes my blood run cold, says the old school nanny. ^^;; Give her another decade at least before indulging her in anthropomorphic male dragon homosexual incest...

Nonononnono! I don't mean now!!! I mean in at least 12 ~ 15 years ... OMG..how liberal do you think I am? ^_~ ...

Although I suppose I could always blame it on a convent school upbringing. Not only did I have to put up with a sheltered and blinkered existence on the LRD, but to cope with the nuns as well!

And I'd love to see any or all of those.

Well, naturally, I'd read anything that came out of this bit of id airing.

Ritsu: Look, this was *your* idea. *You* figure out where it goes.

Wah ha ha. It would be just like that. Like, "So would you just hurry it up? I'm supposed to be studying here."

I'm far, far more kindly disposed to Kai-sama, but that's because he Looks Very Cool. I'm happily/easily swayed by that. A couple more years for those French volumes to catch up and explain all the wobbly areas to me, and mebbe I'll start cranking out the Kai/Ritsu myself. Woo!

A couple more years for those French volumes to catch up

Not even that long, surely? They seem to be clipping along at one every two month or so. Kai appears at the end of 8, so by this time next year you'll have a fair chunk of data to be going on with.

If you're allowed to be self-indulgent and tweak Kai in the direction of Cool behaviour as well as appearance (up the angst, add a dash of self-knowledge, top with a twist of wry) you might have someone worth writing. Alas, stodgy middle-aged me is quite out of patience with Kai's 'Why do you never want to take a few risks and try something new?' and very approving of Ritsu's rejoinder: 'Because I saw what happened when you and Grandfather did.'
