Title: No Turning Back
Author: stellareclipses and the_staci
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Pairing: Leon/Cloud
Rating: NC17
POV: Third
Summary: Later on that night, alone in his bed and staring blankly at the ceiling in his darkened room, Leon realizes their verbal spats almost always lead to hours of active sparring, usually followed by the two of them dropping gracelessly to the ground, comparing battle wounds, and sharing small flasks of potion. Foreplay. Sex. Afterglow. He traces one hand idly across a fresh bruise over his ribs and wonders if Cloud thinks the same.
Warnings: sex, language

Author's Notes: We've been working on this fic on and off for a few months, and are so excited about the end result. This is our first attempt at writing together, and it's been a total blast and mind trip. We hope you enjoy reading this as much as we did writing it! Feedback and concrit welcome and loved.

No Turning Back

I decided I just have to share how awesome Rita Pavone is with everyone. For those who've never heard of her, she was an Italian singer and actor who started her career in the 1960s.

I'm bringing her up, of course, because I think it's incredible that when she began her career (at seventeen) she was a complete tomboy, and did most of her performances dressed in boyish clothing. And she was a huge hit.

You don't get the full effect 'til you see it in action, though:



She didn't always continue with the tomboy-ish style, but nonetheless, she's awesome. She even did a musical film in which she was a cowboy. I thought maybe somebody would enjoy this. Who knows.

Summary: Riku only had a moment to contemplate exactly what Sora would be doing at his house, more precisely, what he would be doing barging into his room.
Disclaimer: This is a total and complete work of fiction. I in no way own any of the character's mentioned in this work of fiction. I am not making any sort of profit off of this.

But above all, he wanted to be closer to Riku.

My muse box has acquired dragons.

Also, painting my room (and writing space) today.  We'll see what my muse thinks of that.

I'll get photos as soon as I'm done.

Edit: Painting held off. They didn't mix it and I have a lot of moving of items before I can get to the painting.

Edit 2.0: My gold cross is missing.  The one my mother gave me when I started my Freshman year of high school.  Also, my baptism cross.  It was silver with my birth stone in the middle. 

Edit 2.1: Okay, all of my crosses are gone.  I've dug through just about everything I own and they're all gone. This is weird and it irritates me.

Edit 2.2: Siblings claim no knowledge of cross location.  What the hell.  Who steals a cross?

Edit 2.3: I give up on the crosses.  On the other hand, I have four bibles.  Who needs that many bibles?

Edit 2.4: Oh, different kinds of bibles.  My bad.

Edit 3:  I love the new color.  Tomorrow, I can move furniture back, maybe.  And paint that one wall.

Well, with all the viking entries, I needed a proper viking icon. The text says Roðgeirr in Futhark runes, for the record (pronounced Roth-gayr, it's the old Norse version of Roger), and it's my drawing of viking!Roger...

ANYWAY. This weekend I've blown a thousand bucks on viking stuff. No, really, $1000. Yes, I'm crazy.

What I bought:
-A $140 bow, plus 3 pretty arrows, and a quiver covered in fox fur
-A whole fox fur (used as scarf)
-A long thin belt with metal ornament on the ends
-A drinking horn (with leather strap to hang from belt)
-Two purses (one dark leather with a buckle, one pinkish with a tooth fastening that I will decorate a burned pattern with a copper bit, both to hang from belt)
-A giant black pair of scissors (with leather strap for belt)
-A bronze knotwork ring and knotwork bracelet
-A bone Freya necklace (goddess of love, beauty and fertility, as well as war, battle, death, magic, prophecy, and wealth) and a bone K rune bracelet
-A bone comb (with leather strap)
-A small bone-handled knife (with leather sheath and strap for belt)
-Two bronze dress ornaments
-Two large multi-coloured beaded necklaces
-4 peacock feathers (doesn't sound like much of a viking thing, but remember that they traded all over Europe, Russia, Asia and even Africa)

I also already had a large dragon/knotwork brooch I inherited... I don't have a ring for keys, but I do have 6 old style random keys. I might just use a leather strap to thread them on, although a ring would be cooler, if I can get hold of one someplace.

Line also got a bow, arrows and quiver, although much cheaper ones. As well as some jewlery, a gorgeous carved bone necklace that I wanted to buy myself too, but there was only one, and I have lots of necklaces now anyway, and she'll actually wear it besides in costume, which I won't. Oh, and awesome large wood earrings that had small BELLS on them.

Line's mom has said that she'll sew my dress (assuming I buy linen and get hold of the pattern). It's not a very complicated dress, so. (Oh, and screw shoes.) I will look awesome for aLEP. I mean, sure it's not a Middle earth outfit, but viking is close enough.

Plus, I'm a viking fangirl. And first guy in costume I saw in there was a young guy who had the exact hair of and looked really like thrall!Manni and I swooned. I really wish Steph would come online and RP some vikings with me. Or, hey. Anyone up for viking RP?

About the market itself:
It's not just a market of put up tents, it's also a whole village. Fires going everywhere, a billion people in costumes, making and selling all manner of stuff. (There was a tent where they sold buckets. Just buckets.) And masses of jewelery, furs, instruments, games, charms, textiles, clothes, spices, food, tools, bowls, ornaments, weapons, armour, and wow did I mention jewelery?

It's so... atmospheric. And music, jugglers, storytellers, swordplay, horses and animals, and then all the different languages. (I counted at least 7 different languages being spoken around.) And it's by the sea, in this gorgeous foresty area (a viking ship graveyard), and they actually have 5 variously sized viking ships at beach there. Even though it was drizzling all day, the place was still full of people. Including lots of gorgeous guys with long hair in costume. Gosh, I love it all so much.

Where are all the North Florida birls and birl-lovers at? I've got to admit I don't really care for the name birl...its just not a very attractive name to me. However I totally dig what "birl" implies. So anyways...any and all birls holler at your girl...or birl...or whatever.

- If this doesn't work. It's been a long time since I last dealt with pictures.

But this ought to be me, Pippin, pre-everything. I wanted to do more photos, but... lost my nerve. At least here is one of my tattoos, which I'm very happy with.

Just a little Sora/Roxas, one-sided(?) Axel/Roxas sprite comic that I cooked up. It's such an old joke, but I love it anyway XD

I posted once a long time ago (under humanpowerhouse) and disappeared.. it's a funny habit!

I'm Dinah. I'm an almost 20-year-old single lesbian female. I'm open minded, into politics, passionate about psychology, fascinated by people and their minds, a member of NOW, and an avid watcher of Strangers With Candy. Currently, I'm learning how to resuscitate people and save lives, and I'm also a student with lots of school ahead for psychology. I'm an independent contractor doing deliveries to law offices during the day. I express myself most through working out at the gym and hanging in at my apartment playing guitar. I'm happy reading something interesting and browsing at Zia Records or visiting friends and family. I like to travel for a good show; last weekend I went on an amazing adventure by myself to see Ani DiFranco. Solitude nurtures my independent nature.

The Arizona heat is turning me nocturnal. Last night I had to go find pudding at midnight... Yuck... I don't even like pudding. That 4 pack was a waste. You know how people get extra weird during these hours.

( My mug )

How about adding me?

hey guys, first time poster, long time reader, i guess you could say. little intro, my name's Trent. 23, from Southern NH. pre-op and pre-T, but hoping to change that before the New Year.

now, onto what's brought me here after all this time staying dormant. gentlemen, i give you... the Flowbee.

I'm torn in two

So is my heart

Almost like the seam was there waiting to just rip.

Something I denied about myself for so long

It's come back to torment me

Now it's as if speaking about it made it worse.

But god does it feel amazing to know...

Dude, what is this? Only 90 people signed up for a Long Expected Party 08?

Guys, it's so much fun! Everyone who's within reasonable travel distance from Oslo should go!

Really, it's awesome!

Last time there were like 220 people there, and now suddenly so few? You don't even need to be a LotR fan (I mean, I'm not really myself), but it's such a lovely experience and awesome people!

(In other news, I spent $250 at viking stuff yesterday and am going back to buy more today. I'll have a full viking costume for aLEP!)
