Deidara: You’ve been in here for days, Sasori. What are you doing?
Sasori: Updating my Poison List.
Deidara: Poison … list?
Sasori: Mm. It’s a constantly-changing list of all the poisons I keep on hand in my lab here, what plants and herbs are needed to make them, what their side effects are in different doses, their antidotes, that sort of thing. Been so busy with this Akatsuki nonsense lately that I realize I haven’t fully updated my inventory in quite a while.
Deidara: Jeez … remind me never to make you angry so that you don’t try and poison me to death, hm.
Sasori: Oh, I couldn’t do that.
Deidara: Aww … because you love me so much??
Sasori: No; because you’re immune to all but a select few of them.
Deidara: … how would you know I’m immune?
Sasori: Because I’ve been micro-dosing your food and drinks for two years with bits of everything. Very trace amounts at first but then more and more. You’ve now had very large quantities of toxins that could kill a man several times over, but you haven’t reacted at all to them. I’ve helped you build an immunity.
Sasori: *kisses Deidara’s cheek* You can thank me for my efforts later. Now run along and let me work, okay? I’ll come and make you dinner later.

Love Conquers Hate
I have come to the conclusion that I can only write fluff. also, yes ive been wanting to write the parade from nova’s pov since reading the epilogue (despite how much I love magpie). no shame. 
SUPERNOVA SPOILERS 
SUPERNOVA SPOILERS
SUPERNOVA SPOILERS
    The sunlight warmed Nova’s face as she laid back on the star float, legs hovering over the edge. She had been sitting, waiting for Adrian as he left to find them something to eat or drink. Oscar had accompanied him, and they had been gone for twenty minutes so far. As each minute grew longer, her patience grew shorter, so Nova resulted to a few minutes of sunbathing. Beside her, Ruby was chatting with Danna and Narcissa, who were going to be on the float as well. Ahead of them, probably two or three floats, Nova could hear a marching band warming up as well as the whooshing and whipping sounds of the color guard's flags. 
    They had been called to the parade set up three hours ago so that everyone could be accounted for and put in order. Before, Nova had been curious as to why they needed three hours to set up for an hour and a half parade, but after witnessing the amount of stress the organizers and performers went through beforehand, she now had a deeper respect for parades. 
    Now they were waiting for the parade to begin, awkwardly standing around on a random residential street. Someone had mentioned a while ago that they still had thirty minutes, and that was when Adrian and Oscar left for food. 
    An elbow nudged Nova’s side gently. She opened one eye, raising her eyebrow at Ruby, who pulled her up. “There’s someone here to see you,” she said, grinning from ear to ear. She gestured in front of them. 
    Nova ran a hand through her hair, blinking at the young mom and the little girl behind her legs who was no more than five or six. She shared a knowing look with Ruby before hopping down from the float and kneeling to peek around the mom’s legs at the girl. 
    “Hey there.” Nova smiled sweetly. “What’s your name?” 
    “Go on, Camden.” Her mother stepped to the side and pushed her daughter forward encouragingly when she didn’t immediately answer. “It’s okay.”
    Camden peeked up at Nova, and for that brief moment, Nova saw the awe in her eyes. Then she tore her gaze away, cheeks red. “My name’s Camden,” she said in a tiny voice. “I...I was wondering...can I have your autograph?”
    Nova opened her mouth, gasping dramatically. She clasped her hands together. “Of course!” She rummaged for a marker in her pockets, knowing she put one in there specifically for today. Already, multiple people, not just children, had come up to her and her friends asking for autographs. “Where do you want it?”
    Camden’s shy exterior began to drop just a little as she handed over a superhero cape. Nova asked her what her superpower was as she wrote out a short message. She learned that Camden had perfect balance, which pushed her into doing gymnastics. 
    Nova handed back the cape, freshly signed. Camden grinned down at it with sparkling eyes. Then she looked back up at Nova. 
    “Miss Artino,” she began, “how do you be brave? See, I want to be just like you when I grow up, but I’m always afraid.”
    Nova tilted her head to the side, not all that surprised at the child’s honest question, as most children were honest, but surprised at the subject. She thought about it for a moment. Behind her, the three other girls stopped talking, and she could feel their gazes on the back of her head. “Well, Camden, bravery and fear go hand in hand. It’s impossible to be brave if you aren’t at least a little scared.”
    Camden’s eyes widened, and she leaned forward. “Really? Does that mean you get scared?”
    Nova nodded solemnly. “All the time, but I’m still brave.” She paused. “Some of the bravest people in the world are scared of many things, did you know that?”
    She shook her head quickly, and Nova pressed on. “It’s true. Because those people are afraid to lose what they love, so they choose to be brave to protect those things. Do you understand that?” 
    Camden swayed from side to side, contemplating, before smiling a toothy grin and nodding. “Thank you, Miss Artino. I think I get it now.” 
    Nova matched her smile and stretched her arms out, offering a hug that the child accepted. The mother thanked Nova, and then they were gone, back to the small neighborhood crowd watching the parade from their homes. 
    Meeting kids like Camden was nothing new for Nova these days; they always stopped her on the streets asking for photos or autographs or screaming how much they loved her. At first, Nova was weirded out and not sure how to even approach children. While it still made her uncomfortable to think that people idolized her for the very same reasons Nova used to despise the Renegades, she had become a pro at talking to children, and found a tiny bit of joy in brightening their day. 
    “Water?” Nova turned to find a water bottle pushed in her face, the owner of the voice belonging to her boyfriend. She smiled up at him and accepted the water. Oscar showed up beside him and they passed out water to everyone. 
    “You were gone that long and water was all you could find?” She hopped back up on the black parade float, designed to be like a night sky with a thousand shining stars. It was Adrian’s idea, as well as his creation. 
    “Tell me about it,” Oscar groaned. Ruby scooched over and he sat beside her, arm snaking around her waist. The movement was almost natural, and Nova couldn’t help but think back to a year ago when Oscar could barely hold it together if Ruby so much as brushed hands with him. “Not a food truck in sight. They must all be in the big ticket areas.”
    “We’ll get nachos after the parade,” Ruby assured him, patting his thigh. “Any word on how much longer until we start? Mom said Jade and Sterling are growing restless.”
    “At least they have food,” Oscar grumbled. 
    Adrian took a seat beside Nova, and they laced their fingers together immediately. “It’ll probably be another five or so minutes.”
    Narcissa rested her head on Danna’s shoulder, who pressed a kiss to her hair. “I should have brought a book. It’s been three hours!” She sighed dramatically. “This parade is great and all, don’t get me wrong, but it should not be this long.” 
    Nova agreed, although she kept her mouth shut. It was ironic, really, when she thought of where she was a year ago. Who she was a year ago. She had been so filled with hatred and loneliness, craving a revenge that was aimed at the wrong people. So much time and energy and so many resources poured into one goal that ate away at Nova’s humanity for ten years, preventing her from seeing the truth. And now, she recognized that revenge was an illness; it weakens someone and plagues them of any real happiness, convincing them that it is the cure when in fact it is the parasite. Now, she knew that, and was grateful that she was rescued from it’s cage before it was too late. Now, she was here, with the people she loved doing the last thing on the planet she would have ever thought she would do. A year ago, she was at the parade, yes, but with a completely different motive. 
    One of the parade organizers, a middle aged man whose name Nova didn’t bother to remember, came by and told them to get to their positions. Nova took a quick sip of her water and accepted the hand that Adrian offered. Together, they got on the topmost point of the large star in the center of the float. Ruby and Oscar went to a point to their right, and Danna and Narcissa to their left. After a moment, the float lurched forward and began its slow trek down the street. The neighborhood watchers began clapping and cheering, the children jumping up and down and waving at the group of six people on the star. 
    Nova waved back, putting on what she referred to as her “camera smile”, the one she reserved for the media and for events like this. 
    The parade route was supposed to take them along the most known streets of Gatlon and end at Headquarters, something that would take between an hour and an hour and a half to complete. Like every year, it would be televised around the world, and similar celebrations would take place. However, what made this year different was that everyone was now a prodigy. Because of this, it seemed almost silly to solely celebrate the Renegades and their success. No, the Renegades had learned from examples like Nova and the Anarchists and the Rejects that one’s abilities didn’t determine how heroic they were. So, on the Day of Triumph, the Renegades parade was now meant to celebrate all prodigies of all shapes and sizes and abilities. Nova felt as though it was a small victory in the direction of a future she desired, a future where everyone could be equal. It brought tears to her eyes when she was told that the villain floats were being tossed, as well as the Council’s float. In their places would be floats honoring the gifts of prodigies and honoring the warriors lost in the fight for freedom and equality. It moved her to see a float for Honey, despite what the woman had done to Nova prior to her death. It made her grin to see a float for Callum Treadwell, a prodigy who quite possibly had the greatest gift of all, yet was never on a task force like other Renegades. Nova could only fathom what he would think if he were here today. 
    “Are you okay?”
    Nova glanced beside her at Adrian, who was still smiling and waving at the cheering crowds. But she noticed the concern in his eyes. 
    “Yeah.” She wiped at her eyes, which had gotten a little misty, and reached for his hand. He clutched her tightly, a promise. “Just a little overwhelmed is all.” 
    The float turned a corner, and the roaring of the crowd somehow went up two dynamics. They were on what many of the organizers referred to as “TV Street”, where most of the excitement took place for the celebration, as well as where every news station would be covering the parade. It was the street with the best seats for the parade, and the most media. It was also the street where…
    Nova nudged Adrian lightly, making him look down at her curiously. “This is where we met.” She nodded to a familiar spot in front of a vendor selling merchandise. “Right there.” 
    Adrian’s smile grew genuine, and he pulled her closer. “I love you, Nova Artino.”
    “And I you, Adrian Everhart. Every day, I will love you.” Sweet rot, she was letting Danna and Ruby suck her into their shared love of rom-coms and romance movies. She didn’t much care, though. Her heart was full, the fullest it had ever been. 
    When she tilted her head up to kiss Adrian, the crowd went wild. Nova tuned them out, her attention fully on the boy standing beside her. She savored this moment, the way he tasted of the donuts Oscar brought earlier that morning, the feeling of a hand in her hair and another clutching her hip. Too soon did he pull back, but Nova knew from the secretive glint in his eyes that there would be many, many more kisses later in the day when they were alone and away from the eyes of the media. She couldn’t wait. 
    But for now, she let herself be wrapped up in his arms as they both waved to the many cameras pointed at them and smiled at the crowd. A sign held by a kid caught Nova’s eye; when the child saw Nova watching him, he grinned and raised the sign higher, shouting something Nova couldn’t hear. But the sign was enough explanation: Love Conquers Hate.
    She couldn’t agree more.

Meet Me in the Middle - Chapter 2 bc it somehow keeps getting deleted
In the morning when Lacey got up, Nova and Adrian had already left for work. Valerie and Eva were eating hash browns and eggs that someone had made earlier. And of course, the coffee pot was empty. Lacey rinsed it out and left it to dry. She didn't need it. She never needed it. Lacey served herself hash browns but ignored the eggs. She hated the smell and taste but thankfully she was allergic to them. She could have them baked into things just not by themselves. It was something in her life that she didn't care to change. "No eggs?" Eva asked. "I'm going to let you think about it for a minute," Lacey said, taking a seat at the dinner table. "By the way Ellie's picking me up at noon so we can go to Meg's house." "You're always at Meg's house," Valerie said. "Yeah and?" "Why?" "Because I have friends and I like to spend time with them." Lacey started eating and made sure that they wouldn't ask her any more questions. Lacey had been with girls before. Ellie had as well but Ellie didn't want to be in the public eye. Lacey was an Everhart and an Artino it was hard not to attract the public eye especially with everything that had happened between both sides of her family. Of course the media would swarm the child of sworn enemies. But their relationship wouldn't be hard to picture. They had been attached at the hip for years and already shared clothes and pretty much everything. If one was missing then they were probably with the other that wasn't. Not to mention that for sleepovers they stopped pulling out an air mattress to share a bed instead and they were generally affectionate with each other. Lacey put her plate in the dishwasher before going to her room. She grabbed her phone and earbuds and went to her closet. In the back of her closet behind a bunch of jackets and stolen sweatshirts from Ellie, there was a built in. She pushed it back and walked through the opening. She shut the door behind her and then grabbed the role of tape that was sitting on a shelf in the reverse side of the built in. On the closet side, it was filled with books and clothes. On the other side it was lined with pictures and had the items needed for a movie night. That's what Lacey had been using the room for anyways. It was her own private theater. Lacey used her powers to manifest the pictures on her phone into physical ones. She began taping them in open spots of the built-in. She had only recently got into putting up pictures once she realized that no one was going to find them in the room. Her phone buzzed and she checked her messages. Meg: Come over faster. We're hanging up pride flags. Lacey: I'm booking it. See you soon. Lana: Also we got Arizona Tea and Takis. Ellie: The greatest thing known to mankind. Ellie: Or birds. Beck: And* birds. Nothing beats Takis and Arizona Tea. Lacey: Facts. Beck: Thank thank Lacey: Welcome welcome Meg: why do you two text like this? Lacey: God has cursed us. Next question. Lana: Just hurry up and get here before I take all of the food we got you. Lacey: Okay I'm coming. Rolling her eyes, Lacey turned off her phone and set it on her bed. She still hadn't gotten ready yet. She brushed her teeth and then her hair, pulling her long hair into a low pony, curls puffing out after the elastic. She quickly then put on makeup. She would admit, she definitely was liberal in her application of highlighter but Lacey was here for anything that was shiny. Lacey then went and put on fresh clothes. She definitely could be considered the emo child though she preferred the term "edgy" or "alternative". Her siblings wore color. Lacey wore mostly black and any dark color she could get her hands onto. Half of her closet was leather, everything from sneakers to shirts to bottoms to jackets she had it in leather. All of her jeans were ripped as well and she was known for usually wearing combat boots around the house. Lacey put on an old band t-shirt, fishnet stockings, a ripped mom jeans, her boots, and a holographic bomber jacket she had found. She grabbed her phone and shoved it in her jacket pocket before running out the door, skateboard in hand. "Going to Meg's! See you later!" She shut the door behind her and ran down the sidewalk, throwing her skateboard down and jumping on it before Valerie could call her back. It was a ten minute walk to Meg's but it took half the time to skateboard. Her house was in the same neighborhood as Lacey's, just on the outskirts of Gatlon. In fact all four of her friends lived in the same neighborhood as her. It was how she met them. She let herself in, knowing automatically that they were all in the living room together. Her friends were scattered around the room, all unboxing things. "Hey babe!" Ellie said cheerfully from the chair she was sitting in. Lacey grabbed her drink and leaned over and kissed Ellie. Ellie put her phone down and cupped Lacey's face, pulling Lacey into the chair happily. "Can you please get a room," Lana snorted, rolling her eyes. Lacey separated from Ellie and glared at Lana. "We have to deal with you and Meg all the time. No complaining," Lacey said. She went over to the empty spot on the couch and opened up one of the boxes. It was filled with rainbow flags. She set the thin Styrofoam packing sheet to the side and pulled out at least 20 flags. By the time they finished getting all the flags out and throwing out the boxes, there was a massive heap of flags in the center of the room. "I can't believe I got adopted by a pack of lesbians," Beck said. "It's a dream come true honestly." "You are the cishet white boy of the group. You are our son," Meg laughed, pinching his cheeks. "An honorary gay." "But honorary," Lana reinforced. "I know," Beck snorted, pushing Meg's hands away. "Now what do we do with these flags? Why did you get so many?" "I told you I need help putting up all my pride flags. I got a shit ton and plan on covering my walls and ceiling in them." "I forget that you're a baby gay sometimes," Lacey said. "Hey, let me enjoy my baby gay phase. Eventually I'm just going to give these flags to future baby gays and you guys can have some too," Meg said. "I think that when you're done with them you should just hide them around your house and wait for people to notice. Hide and seek but gay," Beck said. "For a straight person that was a very gay idea. Thank you for that iconic contribution," Meg said. They went to the top floor, flags spilling from their arms. They dropped them on the bed in Meg's room. Lacey rarely went up to Meg's room and the design had changed from what she remembered. The formerly blue walls were now white. In fact all the furniture was white but since Meg was about to put up 100 pride flags it was about to get way more colorful. There was also several roles of clear packing tape on the bed along with scissors. Lana cracked her knuckles. "Lets do this." The five of them each took a role. Beck cut tape, Ellie and Lana put them up, and Lacey and Meg boosted up their girlfriends so they could reach. Per Meg's request, they played her Gay Playlist which was made of songs by Queen, Hayley Kiyoko, P!ATD, Girl in Red, Janelle Monae, and many others. "Can we do this with Trans Pride Flags in my room?" Lana asked. "Hell fucking yeah we will babe," Meg said, helping Lana up so they could put up what seemed like the 1000th flag. They spent the rest of the day putting flags up. Lacey wasn't sure how Meg would be able to stand having the flags up. After awhile it hurt Lacey's eyes too look at so many. It was blinding have hundred of rainbows in your eyes, but Meg was Meg and was allowed to have her interests. As they were taping down the last of the flags, Lacey's phone buzzed. Someone had texted her. Lacey checked her phone, still balancing Ellie on her shoulders. Valerie: Mom and Dad want you to come home. Danna, Celeste, Ruby, and Oscar are over. Bring Ellie here too Lacey: Can we finish hanging up pride flags? Valerie: Sure???? How many are you hanging up? Lacey: We have five more to go. Meg's covering her entire room in flags. Valerie: Okay??? Lacey: Also I need the nail scissors later. Do you know where they are? Valerie: Downstairs bathroom. Why? Lacey: Long story. "Ellie when we're done we've got to go. Our parents want us at my place because Danna and Celeste are over. You're parents and siblings are at my house too." "So it would be prime time to go to my house and make out?" "Ellie we'd just end up spending too much time gone and freak people out. I love the enthusiasm but that's not the best of ideas." "Dammit," Ellie hissed. "Alright. Give me the final flag so we can get going." Lacey grabbed the last flag, the edges lined with tape. She handed it to Ellie, who stuck it on the final empty spot on the wall. Meg had gotten the exact amount of flags needed to cover her room. She most likely measured so she'd be spot on with her order. Lacey dropped Ellie on the bed and then helped her up. "See you guys later," they said as they left. Ellie hopped on her bike since that's what she had taken to get to Meg's. Lacey got on her skateboard and held onto the back of the bike seat so she could keep up. The sun was setting as they rode home and to Lacey, Ellie looked extra gorgeous in the current setting. Her long brown hair was flowing nicely behind her and the backdrop of the setting sun over the nearby pond made it even better. Lacey pulled out her phone and snapped a picture. "Sorry babe. No flash photography!" Ellie laughed, pushing the phone away before Lacey could take more pictures. "Well I already got the picture so maybe it's going to be my new background." "You're so cheesy," Ellie said as she came to a halt at the house. She then looked around, made sure no one was watching, and kissed Lacey quickly. "Now come on. Let's go pretend we're not dating."

short reviews of R18 drama cd
I just started drama cd a few weeks ago and I just think it’s a neat type of p0rn for someone like me. plus it’s a fun way to practice listening. if you’re interested to try drama cd as well, or just wanted a short spoiler to avoid certain red flags like rape or incest, I think I covered them.
I gave rate on story and the sex. me being myself, that’s the two main part that’s important to categorize them. I personally prefer story driven stories. I am aro but I do appreciate romance once a while.
I will mention the voice actors’ name if I like them. and I always call them by their alias, just so to be familiarize with them (so I can easily pick them out).
you can sampled almost everything from airavalky.
part 1
Ai Yume story: 4/5 icha icha; a bit too intense for me / 5 review: i can't really say what i feel for this series. there's a lot of red flags like stepsiblings(?) relationship and possessive/abusive relationship. the story itself is interesting but it gets kinda too, uhh, dark. not for a faint of heart i think.
Aka no Hanayome [finished] story: 5/5 icha icha: 4/5 review: the theme is there would be a bride bearing a mark on her person that matched the guy she's destined to marry but this time around, one girl has four marks that matched four different guys. supposedly the guys needs to, uh, get close to the girl, so the flower marks can 'bloom' and would bear the proof of the guy to inherit the family fortune or something like that. unfortunately for the girl, she suffered sudden seizures due to the 'hanayome' curse that can be calmed by... you guessed it, sex. it's silly but i think this might be the best series that i've come across so far. vol.1 (Peroperonchino) = guy is the cold prince type but gets warmer in the end. he cute once he’s not acting like a snob. vol.2 = the first son of the main family. he's a kind older brother type. he'll explained a bit about the curse thing. vol.3 (Margarine) = my favorite bc he's such a nice dude. he's a classmate of the girl and came from the branch family so he will kept on saying he want nothing with the whole 'head-of-family transfer' thingy. vol.4 = my least fav bc he's a bit of an asshole, not giving the girl the chance to say no to his advances and just do what he wanted. 
Arashi no ichiya tabi no otoko [finished] story; 2/5 icha icha; 3/5 review: two strangers taking shelter from the rain. idk i kinda expect more for some reason (since i like chasuke). the sex is pretty sudden and like there's no connection except two people sharing one space decided to sex one another.
Bed made nyan nyan wo matte kurenai [finished] story: 2/5 icha icha: 3/5 review: it's Cider being an adorable boyfriend. that's all you need to know. there's not so much of him being a cat though, just a mention of his character has a cat shirt. they missed the opportunity to make me die.
Bodyguard wa kare no iinari [finished] story: 4/5 icha icha; 3/5 review; this one surprised me since i expected the guy is the bodyguard but instead it's the girl. storywise is kinda good; a singer songwriter who can’t sleep without a girl to hug who is also threatened by a obsessed fan, so his company employ a bodyguard and so the girl character came into the picture. i’d say the story is good, the sex is unnecessary kinda.
Cafe romaana [finished, maybe] story: 3/5 icha icha: 3/5 review: it's a sweet story actually but not that special. it revolves around a coffee shop that was owned by three brothers. vol.1 - i think this is the best of the three for no reason except i like it best. girl is already in relationship with the youngest brother. his issue is being overshadowed by his two brothers but he still tries his best to follow their lead. vol.2 (Tetrapot) - girl is a waitress of the cafe. second eldest dude is trying to better his barista skill and wish to enter a... competition? vol.3 - the eldest brother who tried to date a girl who supplies the flowers to the cafe.
Calling bloom [finished, maybe] story: 4/5 icha icha: 3/5 review: the idea is like a host club but they do delivery and would fingerbang or sex with you if you ask. just the catch is not to fall in love with them. i think storywise is good. prepare to have feelings though. Hikaru (Sawa Manaka) = spoiler alert, he fell in love with the girl when he first met in a konbini before, but since hosting is his job, he can't say that so his story ends one sidedly and bittersweetly. Syu = he's the number one host of anemone. haven't really heard his side yet aside from the first track. Kaname = girl actually chose him because he looks like a anime idol character she liked, not because he was an ex idol. i kinda felt bad for him. didn’t finish his side yet. Hazime = haven’t got to this one yet.
Circle catalogue [finished, maybe] story: 4/5 icha icha: 3/5 review: about a relationship between a girl and a band member. pretty sweet but nothing special. if you just need a good story about a good relationship, this is kinda one of it. Basist (Asagi Yuu) - if asagi using his toshishita kare voice is one of your weakness, you will not survive this volume. i died three times before i even get to the icha icha scene. girl is the... manager? or at least one of the staff of the band. she wanted to quit (for a reason i dont quite catch) and dude is not okay with that. thankfully it ended quite sweetly. Leader (Kawamura) - girl is a fan of the band and is dating the leader. the couple has been troubled with physical distances between them ever since they first met and now they started to worry if their happiness won't last that long. Drummer - I’ll get to this one later.
Cream pie story; 5/5 icha icha; 3/5 review: the one thing that separates this from the other is that there is a solo masturbation scene from the dude and it kinda make me laugh even though i don't think i should. hehe. story is very close to realistic couple's problem i guess. try this if you need story. Ninomiya (domon atsushi) - this one i don't quite understand why they fight. guy wanted to find a place with elevator near his wife's work so if she got pregnant it wont be too hard on her. but she felt like he just assumed that's what she wanted???? maybe i'm too aro to understand this is reason enough to fight but i could see it happening irl. Yuuki (tetrapot) - the problem with this couple is that the girl/wife? had to work outstation for three weeks and guy was so lonely i kinda felt bad for him. poor guy he did it with her pajamaaaaa. 
Dakarete kara hajimaru koi story; 3/5 icha icha: 3/5 review: i think they're pretty sweet but not much of a story bc they’re pretty short. the one with kawamura is my favorite bc there's a cat<3 actual cat! i have a likings for a guy who gets weak around cats.
Danna-sama series story: haven't heard all of them but those i did 4/5 icha icha; 3/5 of those i've cleared review: there's a lot of volumes so kinda need a separate review for each of them but the basis is similar. sweet story. my favorite might be the one with tetrapot. he made it into my list of favorite drama cd VA because of this.
Date biyori story: 4/5 icha icha; 4/5 review: just sweet dating stories. i especially love the one with murano bc it's just so damn funny and sweet. too bad he didnt do too many titles.
Dousei kareshi story; 4/5 icha icha: 4/5 review: sweet lil story about two ppl living together. nothing really stands out but the story is good.
Enemy coupling [finished, maybe] story: 5 /5 (minus 3rd vol) icha icha: 4/5 (minus 3rd vol) review: in an AU where there's a animal/human hybrid. vol.1 (sawa manaka) = sawa as a cat can fucking end me. he's a younger boyfriend type that dates a scaredy mouse hybrid. he cute and story is actually very sweet. why cant sawa just do this type of character and nothing else??? vol.2 (murano) = dude is same age type of rabbit hybrid who dated a fox hybrid. the sex in this kinda intense... and noisy. but story is good and dude is very cute. he’s dating his fox hybrid classmate. vol.3 = a wolf teacher with his sheep students. i don't do teacherxstudent so i never got beyond the first track. sorry.
Enter the mirror [finished] story; 5/5 icha icha: get so much icha in the end esp the tokutens /5 review; in a alternate universe(?) a kingdom was destined to ruin. there's only three person who can save it and they need to find a rose fairy from a world inside the mirror to do it. story is very good but the sex gets exponentially intense in the end. there's a rapey scene in the beginning though. vol.1 (sawa manaka) = i think this is the first time i heard sawa doing fantasy and it's a good change. he's the righteous knight type. vol.2 = the magician side. he's kinda like the gentle older brother type i think. he would do anything to save his kingdom that he puts something in your food to paralyze you (to rape/unlock your rose fairy power?) but he changed his mind halfway vol.3 (peroperonchino) = the prince. storywise i like his side better since you can feel how desperate he is to save his kingdom. the tokutens sex is very very intense bc he gets jealous very easily.

Chapter 2 was deleted by accident so I’m reposting it. 
-------------
In the morning when Lacey got up, Nova and Adrian had already left for work. Valerie and Eva were eating hash browns and eggs that someone had made earlier. And of course, the coffee pot was empty. Lacey rinsed it out and left it to dry. She didn't need it. She never needed it. Lacey served herself hash browns but ignored the eggs. She hated the smell and taste but thankfully she was allergic to them. She could have them baked into things just not by themselves. It was something in her life that she didn't care to change. "No eggs?" Eva asked. "I'm going to let you think about it for a minute," Lacey said, taking a seat at the dinner table. "By the way Ellie's picking me up at noon so we can go to Meg's house." "You're always at Meg's house," Valerie said. "Yeah and?" "Why?" "Because I have friends and I like to spend time with them." Lacey started eating and made sure that they wouldn't ask her any more questions. Lacey had been with girls before. Ellie had as well but Ellie didn't want to be in the public eye. Lacey was an Everhart and an Artino it was hard not to attract the public eye especially with everything that had happened between both sides of her family. Of course the media would swarm the child of sworn enemies. But their relationship wouldn't be hard to picture. They had been attached at the hip for years and already shared clothes and pretty much everything. If one was missing then they were probably with the other that wasn't. Not to mention that for sleepovers they stopped pulling out an air mattress to share a bed instead and they were generally affectionate with each other. Lacey put her plate in the dishwasher before going to her room. She grabbed her phone and earbuds and went to her closet. In the back of her closet behind a bunch of jackets and stolen sweatshirts from Ellie, there was a built in. She pushed it back and walked through the opening. She shut the door behind her and then grabbed the role of tape that was sitting on a shelf in the reverse side of the built in. On the closet side, it was filled with books and clothes. On the other side it was lined with pictures and had the items needed for a movie night. That's what Lacey had been using the room for anyways. It was her own private theater. Lacey used her powers to manifest the pictures on her phone into physical ones. She began taping them in open spots of the built-in. She had only recently got into putting up pictures once she realized that no one was going to find them in the room. Her phone buzzed and she checked her messages. Meg: Come over faster. We're hanging up pride flags. Lacey: I'm booking it. See you soon. Lana: Also we got Arizona Tea and Takis. Ellie: The greatest thing known to mankind. Ellie: Or birds. Beck: And* birds. Nothing beats Takis and Arizona Tea. Lacey: Facts. Beck: Thank thank Lacey: Welcome welcome Meg: why do you two text like this? Lacey: God has cursed us. Next question. Lana: Just hurry up and get here before I take all of the food we got you. Lacey: Okay I'm coming. Rolling her eyes, Lacey turned off her phone and set it on her bed. She still hadn't gotten ready yet. She brushed her teeth and then her hair, pulling her long hair into a low pony, curls puffing out after the elastic. She quickly then put on makeup. She would admit, she definitely was liberal in her application of highlighter but Lacey was here for anything that was shiny. Lacey then went and put on fresh clothes. She definitely could be considered the emo child though she preferred the term "edgy" or "alternative". Her siblings wore color. Lacey wore mostly black and any dark color she could get her hands onto. Half of her closet was leather, everything from sneakers to shirts to bottoms to jackets she had it in leather. All of her jeans were ripped as well and she was known for usually wearing combat boots around the house. Lacey put on an old band t-shirt, fishnet stockings, a ripped mom jeans, her boots, and a holographic bomber jacket she had found. She grabbed her phone and shoved it in her jacket pocket before running out the door, skateboard in hand. "Going to Meg's! See you later!" She shut the door behind her and ran down the sidewalk, throwing her skateboard down and jumping on it before Valerie could call her back. It was a ten minute walk to Meg's but it took half the time to skateboard. Her house was in the same neighborhood as Lacey's, just on the outskirts of Gatlon. In fact all four of her friends lived in the same neighborhood as her. It was how she met them. She let herself in, knowing automatically that they were all in the living room together. Her friends were scattered around the room, all unboxing things. "Hey babe!" Ellie said cheerfully from the chair she was sitting in. Lacey grabbed her drink and leaned over and kissed Ellie. Ellie put her phone down and cupped Lacey's face, pulling Lacey into the chair happily. "Can you please get a room," Lana snorted, rolling her eyes. Lacey separated from Ellie and glared at Lana. "We have to deal with you and Meg all the time. No complaining," Lacey said. She went over to the empty spot on the couch and opened up one of the boxes. It was filled with rainbow flags. She set the thin Styrofoam packing sheet to the side and pulled out at least 20 flags. By the time they finished getting all the flags out and throwing out the boxes, there was a massive heap of flags in the center of the room. "I can't believe I got adopted by a pack of lesbians," Beck said. "It's a dream come true honestly." "You are the cishet white boy of the group. You are our son," Meg laughed, pinching his cheeks. "An honorary gay." "But honorary," Lana reinforced. "I know," Beck snorted, pushing Meg's hands away. "Now what do we do with these flags? Why did you get so many?" "I told you I need help putting up all my pride flags. I got a shit ton and plan on covering my walls and ceiling in them." "I forget that you're a baby gay sometimes," Lacey said. "Hey, let me enjoy my baby gay phase. Eventually I'm just going to give these flags to future baby gays and you guys can have some too," Meg said. "I think that when you're done with them you should just hide them around your house and wait for people to notice. Hide and seek but gay," Beck said. "For a straight person that was a very gay idea. Thank you for that iconic contribution," Meg said. They went to the top floor, flags spilling from their arms. They dropped them on the bed in Meg's room. Lacey rarely went up to Meg's room and the design had changed from what she remembered. The formerly blue walls were now white. In fact all the furniture was white but since Meg was about to put up 100 pride flags it was about to get way more colorful. There was also several roles of clear packing tape on the bed along with scissors. Lana cracked her knuckles. "Lets do this." The five of them each took a role. Beck cut tape, Ellie and Lana put them up, and Lacey and Meg boosted up their girlfriends so they could reach. Per Meg's request, they played her Gay Playlist which was made of songs by Queen, Hayley Kiyoko, P!ATD, Girl in Red, Janelle Monae, and many others. "Can we do this with Trans Pride Flags in my room?" Lana asked. "Hell fucking yeah we will babe," Meg said, helping Lana up so they could put up what seemed like the 1000th flag. They spent the rest of the day putting flags up. Lacey wasn't sure how Meg would be able to stand having the flags up. After awhile it hurt Lacey's eyes too look at so many. It was blinding have hundred of rainbows in your eyes, but Meg was Meg and was allowed to have her interests. As they were taping down the last of the flags, Lacey's phone buzzed. Someone had texted her. Lacey checked her phone, still balancing Ellie on her shoulders. Valerie: Mom and Dad want you to come home. Danna, Celeste, Ruby, and Oscar are over. Bring Ellie here too Lacey: Can we finish hanging up pride flags? Valerie: Sure???? How many are you hanging up? Lacey: We have five more to go. Meg's covering her entire room in flags. Valerie: Okay??? Lacey: Also I need the nail scissors later. Do you know where they are? Valerie: Downstairs bathroom. Why? Lacey: Long story. "Ellie when we're done we've got to go. Our parents want us at my place because Danna and Celeste are over. You're parents and siblings are at my house too." "So it would be prime time to go to my house and make out?" "Ellie we'd just end up spending too much time gone and freak people out. I love the enthusiasm but that's not the best of ideas." "Dammit," Ellie hissed. "Alright. Give me the final flag so we can get going." Lacey grabbed the last flag, the edges lined with tape. She handed it to Ellie, who stuck it on the final empty spot on the wall. Meg had gotten the exact amount of flags needed to cover her room. She most likely measured so she'd be spot on with her order. Lacey dropped Ellie on the bed and then helped her up. "See you guys later," they said as they left. Ellie hopped on her bike since that's what she had taken to get to Meg's. Lacey got on her skateboard and held onto the back of the bike seat so she could keep up. The sun was setting as they rode home and to Lacey, Ellie looked extra gorgeous in the current setting. Her long brown hair was flowing nicely behind her and the backdrop of the setting sun over the nearby pond made it even better. Lacey pulled out her phone and snapped a picture. "Sorry babe. No flash photography!" Ellie laughed, pushing the phone away before Lacey could take more pictures. "Well I already got the picture so maybe it's going to be my new background." "You're so cheesy," Ellie said as she came to a halt at the house. She then looked around, made sure no one was watching, and kissed Lacey quickly. "Now come on. Let's go pretend we're not dating."
