I made some KnB icons!
Dec. 10th, 2012 12:17 amI haven't made fandom icons in far too long. I've been too distracted by making hipster things and not wanting to mess with Muse fandom icons that I forgot how satisfying the process of making icons from manga images can be. Text! Colors! Textures!!!!
Okay, enjoy these, I'm freaking stoked over them.

Fandom: Kuroko no Basket
Rating: PG for now.
Pairing: Kagami/Kuroko and some strange combination of Aomine thrown in there as well.
Words: 4000~
Crossposted: Tumblr and LJ
Summary: Kuroko no Coffehouse A/U
A/N: I feel like I need to sit everyone down and explain this first. Most important thing to explain, before anything else, is that I am largely incapable of writing anything short. So this is destined to be long. Really long. The premise is “Coffeehouse A/U”, because I realized that I’ve been fandom life for over a decade and have never written a coffeehouse A/U (what is wrong with me). Now, because I can’t do anything halfway, I took the concept way too far.

Set in America. The West, at any rate. This seems inconsequential to me. I write what I know, and setting an entire novel in Japan was enough. Their names remain. Now, since I had no idea what to do with coffeehouse people, I again went to what I know.
Kagami is a successful sports journalist starting his first novel. He sets up workshop in the Rainbow’s End coffeehouse, which is probably the most pretentiously hipster place he could have imagined ending up. There he makes some acquaintances that will throw all of his plans off track, but not exactly in a bad way…
Instead of being King B-Ball Swag in this universe, Aomine is King Hipster. I think that alone is worth the price of admission. Let’s begin.

Title: Untitled Ma'mon Flashback
Auhor:saikou
Universe: The Nothing Children
Rating: G
Characters: Demide - Ko'mied - Sayan
Words: 1600
Summary: Demide and Ko'mied are 4th year Provisionals, and a chance meeting in the practice studio introduces them to the possibility of incredible things.
A/N: The Ma'mon are just my favorite thing in The Nothing Children. The concept is a creation entirely of TNC, though the characters of Ko'mied and Demide both have foundations elsewhere in the former COLOR Universe canon. This flashback was something I needed to write, just to satisfy my own curiosity about how they met and how to describe their individual talents outside of Silios' perspective. I'm still trying to figure out whether I want to include a few different flashbacks like this (in 3rd person) within the story.
Anyway, enjoy if you wish!

[fic] Empire City: The Heights -03-
Dec. 5th, 2012 03:05 pmTitle: Empire City: The Heights
Author: Vee
Rating: R
Genre: Contemporary, Dark, Mystery
Chapter: 03
Summary: Our universe is a system of thieves and liars, killers and whores, and you're staring into the sun. Giancarlo Salomon is dead, and no one even has the illusion of choice anymore. The king is dead, and until we know who needs to suffer, everyone will. Where is everyone, Chief Templeton? Can you tell me the crevices The Empire has disappeared to? Until you can, let's play this game.
POV: Transcript
A/N: There phone conversations lay so much of the plot foundation, here. Some of it may require some jigsawing with the Empire City timeline, but all in all I have to say I'm happy with the little web that's been woven. Julian, you're beautiful and so, so dangerous. These two are a formidable pair, but as you can see, their mutual distaste for trusting the other very often gets in
( There's going to come a day that I'll say “Come back, Julian. Come back and I'll help you straighten this out.” )

Summary: Kagami congratulates Aomine on a very flashy win in his own special way.
A/N: Another fill for a kink meme prompt! I was super busy with writing gay basketball yesterday, it seems...! Now this one, I do ship. Kagami and Aomine are basically the embodiment of my #1 ship "type", so I couldn't resist! Especially since this prompt was asking for two of my other favorite things. *tugs at collar* This one was satisfying to write.

Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Kagami/Akashi, implied Kuroko/Kagami, implied GoM/Akashi
Words: 3800
Summary: In the immortal words of our lord and savior Kanyesus: look, you need to crawl 'fore you ball.
A/N: Fill for a kink meme prompt. I don't even ship Kagami/Akashi. In fact, fandom at large knows so little about Akashi still, there's a lot of artistic license involved unless you want to incorporate scissors and/or eye-gouging (hooray for canon insanity). I do, however, ship Kagami/Kuroko and GoM/Akashi in general, so I managed to pull both of those together and twist the implications around to facilitate the incredibly appealing idea of Kagami/Akashi body worship (which was the prompt).
( Akashi was beyond feelings. He was armored by indifference to those beneath him. He was the Monkey King. He was divine. )

Author's Notes: The story's trekking (twerking) along nicely at this point. Better than I'd been prepared for, actually. I got rather pessimistic about this lovely little universe for a bit, but I'm trying to turn that around. My only worry is that the world seems too convoluted or too dense with fact and not enough action. Those may be my misgivings only, but if you have any concerns please let me know. I want this story to be great and I've already tweaked and reforged so much that it only seems natural for me to keep doing so. So yes, let me know please!
Introducing my beloved Demit'che in this chapter. ;) I have a thing for jackasses, but I promise you he'll grow on you.
Enjoy, and always be Colora. ♥

Glossary of Terms
This glossary is unfiltered but the story is still being posted to a filter while I work out the kinks (heh, no not figuratively, this is quite PG thank you); if you want to read it, holla. I'd always love another set of eyes on it.
Soon I really hope to also have an Audio or Video guide to pronunciation of names and words. I'll need to either look awesome for that or get a better microphone. XD If I looked like any of the main characters I'd say I'd be cosplaying for it.

Where have I been? Where have I NOT been? Working my tail off last week for Black Friday etc, and now this week I'm absolutely bereft of hours at either job! D: I can't figure it out, either. But somewhere in there, I managed to start a new series (OH NOOOOO).
I mean, what is happening to me? The peak of my animuness was in 2005 or so, before Monster ruined me for all other series and then Band of Brothers stole me away *wistfully reaches out for fandoms abandoned*. Somehow recently I've been trying to reclaim what used to make me happy, and anime was one of those things. Even when I didn't have the money to pour thousands of dollars into the hobby (wow I remember that), it just made me really happy.
Turns out that Sportsball Anime and Manga are pretty much my heroin.
I started to see a lot of talk about "Kuroko no Basket" on my Tumblr dash when I began to follow several Prince of Tennis fans recently. I resisted for a long time. I really did, I swear I did! I was too busy crying about Sanada and Yukimura and endlessly analyzing the dialogue in the OVAS nbd.
Then one day I was like "fine. FINE. How many episodes are there? Oh, there are only 25 episodes. Well, maybe I can do this."
I did it, I went in.
And oh MY GOD GAY SPORTSBALL ANIME, what are you doing to me? So here, you're going to hear about it too because it's glorious. Not in a Prince of Tennis way. Prince of Tennis is like the really ugly kitten in the litter that you love just because he's so adorably awkward and everyone else hates him. No, if that kitten is Prince of Tennis then Kuroko no Basket is the most beautiful cat, prancing around and telling you he's hungry all the time and guess what? You're feeding him, because you are powerless against that kitten's charm.
What the Hell is this series called? Kuroko no Basuke, which literally translates to "The Basketball Which Kuroko Plays" (that is actually, in English, all over the title screens of the show. It's sort of embarrassing, but I mean, it's what it says on the tin). ALSO KNOWN AS: Kuroko no Basuke, Kurobas, Kurobasu, Rainbow Basketball (>__>)
What is this about? Is it about guys running around with a basketball and flinging sweat that somehow turns into bishounen sparkles? Ye- NO. NO NOT ENTIRELY. The show is about the titular Kuroko Tetsuya, who joins the Seirin High School Baskbetball Club (IT'S SET IN HIGH SCHOOL, so it's not quite as creepy and weird as Prince of Tennis). Turns out that Kuroko was the phantom sixth man of the legendary Teiko Middle School Basketball Team known as the Generation of Miracles (aka Sekai no Sedai, or Skittles. I'm not lying, fandom likes to call them the Skittles and I think that's ADORABLE).
Only you wouldn't know it, because he sort of sucks. He has no presence, people forget he's there, he has no sense of humor and he can't shoot, run, or dribble. BUT WAIT. Turns out that the eponymous "Kuroko no Basuke" is his style of misdirection and passing, which enables the power forward to fucking dominate, and the team to basically shit all over everyone else. Kuroko chooses American-taught transplant and fellow first year Kagami Taiga to be his new partner, much to Kagami's initial chagrin. All Kagami wants to do is stomp the Generation of Miracles, because that's what Kagami does. He stomps bitches.
And that's where thegay series starts. With the little-known Seirin team acquiring not only the monstrously awesome Kagami, but also one of the Generation of Miracles. They go to battle. As you do in sportsball anime.
( Do not underestimate it when I say this show is just shipping its own characters all over the place for your convenience )
