I wonder if it was fate or just coincidence that Episode 15 was going to show over Valentine's Day weekend?

[skeletongrrl]

I N T R O D U C I N G: HITSUZEN. a post-apocalyptic story set in a near-future japan. the sun’s gone, and monstrosities crawl out of the dark. there are two lines of defense - the gangs that roam the countryside in the dark on motorcycles and in cars, and the lantern walkers, without families and without history, who walk paths carrying lanterns that try to coax the spirits and monsters back to the realm they belong to.  ( psd by @pilipalea )

GENRE: futuristic fantasy. POV: third person. THEMES: unconventional friendships, things that are cool but maybe not the most grounded, cyclical stories and inevitability, traveling, fate (where applicable) and purposelessness (everywhere else), loneliness, a wonder at how the world should be but is not. CONTENT WARNING: violence, gore, and just a generally campy aesthetic, to be honest.

For years now, or for as long as he can remember, Mitsuo has walked the paths of Saitama-ken. He has never seen the sun - but then again, anyone his age has never seen the sun except through photographs. The closest thing he has is the lantern that he carries with him, a symbol of what he does. He is without family, without history, and thus without status, and that is why he was left to walk the paths, distribute charms and blessings to local villages, and generally try to ward off the things that live in the dark.

He will probably die. Every lantern walker dies eventually. Not fast enough, or not smart enough, and something rips his head off of his shoulders and all the blood pours out on the dirt or on the asphalt.

All of that changes when Takahashi Himawari almost runs him over on her bike. The wheels scream past as a trail of things with many limbs follow her, lumbering out of the dark and into that yellowing circle of illumination blooming from her headlights.

He saves her life, as it turns out, but afterwards, all she does is wrap her fingers around his arm hard enough to hurt and says, voice low, that she thinks she knows where the sun is. And then she asks if he believes her.

He doesn’t. No one knows where the sun is. If it was somewhere real, it would’ve been found already. Smarter and more experienced people than them have surely failed.

The problem is that the girl in front of him, leaning against her bike as the engine ticks, seems more than certain.  So Mitsuo can walk the same paths for years, for forever, until his legs give out and his body fails or something springs out of the dark and ends his meager existence.

Or: he can do this.

After a moment, he pushes himself upright and takes her gloved hand in his.

PERFECT LANDING

[witharthurkirkland]

Vote for the Next Fic

So... with Comes Love finally complete and with the asks I’m getting, I thought I would open up the voting officially.

As some of you know, I have a whole list of ideas for fics, but I can’t decide which to write next, so I thought I’d organize a little vote. I’m not going to count reblogs or likes, but they are still very much appreciated (as well as any other signal boosting anyone feels like doing)!

Voting ends November 25th, 2017. Thank you so much for participating!

You can now vote (for up to 3 fic ideas!) anonymously RIGHT HERE

(you don’t need any account on any website to do this)

Here are the voting options:

1) Friends Only (preview)

Summary: Chris manages to talk Victor into a friends only trip, so naturally Phichit drags Yuuri into a trip of their own. Chaos ensues, drunken shenanigans, getting lost as well as all the other things everyone enjoys so much on road trips. Starring Extra! Victor as himself…

Pairings: Yuuri/Victor (even if they are split up)

2) Hitsuzen (preview)

Summary: Yuri Plisetsky has always seen strange things and odd spirits often follow him around. One day he stumbles into an odd shop that grants wishes run by a strange man named Victor Nikiforov. Will Victor grant his wish and what will be the price?

Pairings: Yuri/Otabek, Yuuri/Victor, with Yuri crushing on Yuuri

Tags: Angst, magic AU, fantasy AU, xxxHolic AU, mutual pining, star crossed lovers

3) How to Lose a Guy in 16 Weeks (preview)

Summary: Victor Nikiforov is considered by many to be quite the catch and, as his friend Chris insists, anyone would be willing to tolerate anything he did just because he’s Victor Nikiforov. But Victor is determined to prove him wrong. “Pick anyone and I’ll drive them off,” he tells his friend. And who does Chris pick but long-time Victor Nikiforov fanboy Yuuri Katsuki, one of the top figure skaters and also quite the catch himself, even if he doesn’t believe it. Can Yuuri win over Victor’s heart before Victor drives him away?

Tags: romantic comedy, canon divergent AU, angst, fluff, smut (probably)

Pairings: Yuuri/Victor

5) The Dog in the Manger (preview)

Tags: single parents AU, historical AU, angst, fluff, humour, mutual pining

Pairings: Yuuri/Victor

7) The Road to Faerie (preview)

Summary: A long time ago England was a country full of magicians, but one day they all vanished without a trace. Or so it was thought until Guang Hong set off on his journey to find them and he stumbles into Yuuri Katsuki-Nikiforov - a talented young magician and husband to Victor Katsuki-Nikiforov. But magic is a dangerous thing and sometimes it’s a good idea not to meddle in things you don’t understand.

Tags: established relationship, historical AU, magic AU, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell AU, angst, fluff, 19th century AU

Pairings: Yuuri/Victor, Yuri/Otabek

8) New Year’s Phone Call (preview)

Summary: Victor’s family has a tradition: on the morning of December 31st they call a random number and wish the person who answers a happy New Year. One year this tradition leads to a very strange and faithful meeting with one Yuuri Katsuki.

Cosplay (Magical) Girl

@sumigakure Halloween Event 2017

Prompt 4: Magical Girl

Word Count: 1224

Rating: G

On Ao3

 “Rin, are you sure my wig is on right? It’s awfully uncomfortable.” Obito plays with the carefully styled “mane”, coming close to dislodging the face guard holding the whole thing in place.

 Kakashi peeks up from where he was perusing the convention guidebook, “At least you get a wig and bobby pins not a badly-installed weave.” Just mild enough to be considered conversation, but just barbed enough for Rin to feel the sting. If it wouldn’t ruin the cosplay to leave a bright red handprint on Kakashi face for the rest of the afternoon, she’d slap him in a heartbeat. Kakashi hadn’t had any objections to the cosplay until he learned he needed extensions!

 “And who’s fault was it that they kept moving as I clipped the extensions in?” Rin stressed the correct term because she knew Kakashi knew the correct term for the easily removable lengths of hair she’d clipped in in the wee hours of the morning, sacrificing her sleep in order to deal with Kakashi’s whining. “Besides, you make a lovely Kero and Yue. Just keep your costumes together until the judging for the group cosplay contest.” She smoothes the front of her costume, the classic and iconic pink and white one that was a straight up bitch to stitch because of the miles of layered, heavily starched, ruffle-hemmed petticoats that went under the skirt. Rin wished she had a real life Tomoe to make her costumes for her, but alas, of her friends Yugao was the only other one who had any ability to sew and even then she couldn’t sew a straight line for love or money.

 “Oh hey! They have takoyaki! Bakashi, come on, let’s grab some.” Rin freezes and tries to stop them - all those dark sauces and their bright costumes! - but then thinks better of it once she sees the terrified begging face Kakashi is making at her as Obito pulls him into the queue, wings dragging behind them both. She packed bibs on purpose, and it serves Kakashi right for reading porn while getting styled then having the balls to complain about it. Maybe she’ll only insist on fried-foods for the rest of the day? Or pointedly eat miso-glazed fried eggplant in front of him - there’s a stall right there.... But there’s mochi too and pistachio ice cream filled mochi are so rare to find.

 Mulling over the possibilities, she doesn’t notice where she’s going until she’s bumped into someone much smaller than her. “Oof!”

 “Oh, my goodness! I’m so sorry! I didn’t see you...,” Rin can’t believe what’s she’s seeing.“Sakura?” That is very clearly Sakura, but the older Sakura from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle not the child Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura that Rin herself is cosplaying.

 The poor girl’s wig has been knocked askew though, and Rin can’t help herself as she tries to right it. The girl’s pink hair flutters loose as she knocks aside Rin’s hand, huffing, “Watch where you’re going!” Green eyes glare at her for a moment before widening in surprise. “Oh. You’re....”

 “Also Sakura!” Rin chirps, ignoring the rudeness. Anyone would be rude in that situation, especially if someone knocked one over in a very detailed, primarily white cosplay. “You also going for the competition?” This convention’s contest was one of the most difficult, with lots of really good cosplayers coming and competing, but Rin thought the girl’s would do well.

 “Ah, yes.” The girl gets up, smoothing her white skirts and checking for stains. Her coins clink against one another - real metal, not cheap. “The group competition, actually!”

 “Really! Who are your companions?” Rin hopes it’s not the two Syaorans. The girl can’t be more than 12, and the whole storyline of the two (three? Four if you count the father?) Syaorans makes things very awkward via implication. Not that Rin is judging but ... 12 is a little young to date?

 The girl smiles, “Mokona and Mokona!” Oh good. The dumplings. Perfectly innocuous. “I wanted them to be Kurogane and Fai.”

 Rin doesn’t know what to make of that. “Why didn’t they want to be Kurogane and Fai? They’re amazing!” The best original characters in the series - not a hard thing to win, considering, but still! Rin read Tsubasa and xxxholic for Kurogane and Fai not for Syaoran and his quest!

 “They kept fighting over Syaoran.” And that’s almost better, almost worse. “So I made them be Mokona instead.” The girl shrugs. “What about you? Are you in the single entrants competition?”

 Rin laughs, “No, I’m entering in the group competition too. My Yue and Kero are off getting food right now.”

 “Mine too! Maybe we can go sit down to wait for them?” The girl points out a set of empty benches in easy line of sight from the food stalls. “Then maybe when they get back we can get a group photo?”

 It’s easy to talk this is small Sakura, who is starry-eyed over the romance of the series and the exquisite detail CLAMP puts into their stories. It’s clear the older work references are lost on her, but that’s okay since they’re clearly before her time and hard to find in print anyways. They bond over Gate 7, and poke fun of CLAMP’s obvious weakness for the name “Sakura”; how many “Sakura” does one group even need? The girl shyly offers that her name is also ‘Sakura’, which is why she loves the character so much.

 “Say, did your ... friends have problems with cosplaying too?”Sakura asks after a lull in their conversation. She’s fiddling with one of the coins on her scarf, and Rin can’t help but feel a pang of empathy. Cosplaying alone is hard, but it’s also difficult to agree on what or how with a group, and it’s even worse when people start causing problems. 12 year old boys are the worst about that sort of thing, waffling between excitement over the characters and self consciousness when they realize cosplaying nerdy stuff and that it might be “uncool”.

 “Yeah, but they do every year. It’s okay. I have a plan - next year, we’re going to cosplay Sailor Moon. And instead of letting them be Shittenou, I’m going to make them rule 63.” Rin smiles deviously. Kakashi will love that, especially the wigs and short skirts. Sakura giggles, and a thought strikes Rin. “Hey, wanna cosplay Chibi Usa if I cosplay Usagi? You already have the hair.”

 Sakura grins, “If we add my two friends with your two friends, we could get all of the Sailor Scouts - at least the Inner Scouts.” Oh, but how Rin loves the way this girl thinks.

 They’re exchanging contact information when two pre-teen figures in black and white run up. “Sakura! Sakura! They have the figure you wanted!”

 Her own two idiots stroll up, “Rin! Rin! We got you a serving of yakisoba!” It’s clearly time for them to part ways, especially given the way their two groups are sharing Looks. Last time those Looks had been shared, Kakashi got into a fight with some hooligans from Iwa. That year wasn’t a good year.

 “‘There is no such thing as coincidence in this world. The only thing is hitsuzen.’” Rin intones as she waves goodbye.

 “What?” Obito asked around a mouthful of octopus ball. Rin giggles into her noodles instead - they won’t know what hit them.

Hitsuzen~~

Antes de tudo, é preciso explicar a motivação por trás da criação deste espaço. Quem é brasileiro e fã das criações da CLAMP sabe muito bem que o melhor lugar <que existia> para se manter informado, ter acesso aos animes, especiais, mangás, OVAS, CDs drama, e/ou qualquer outro material, o melhor site era o clampPROJECT. 

Eu já fui uploader de lá (Miruku-chan, mas ninguém liga para os uploaders kkkkk) em meados de 2007-2008 e 2010-2012, mas devido a n problemas acabei me desligando desta função, porém, sempre acompanhando o site. E mais importante, não venho trazer explicações do fechamento do site (até porque não fazia mais parte), e independente do(s) motivo(s), não cabe a ninguém mais além dos envolvidos a opção ou não de explicar.

Só que devido a não existência de um espaço unicamente sobre a CLAMP, me brotou a vontade de ao menos manter online parte do material, não apenas do que já era mantido no cP, também outras obras da CLAMP que ainda não estavam lá disponíveis. Além de mim, há uma outra colaboradora, aka Profa. Mizuki, que irá contribuir com o funcionamento do Hitsuzen.

Porém, não pretendemos manter a forma de trabalho realizada pela Aliança Project, infelizmente não teremos como. O que está ao nosso alcance é manter online os animes, OVAS e filmes na qualidade em que foram lançados ao longo destes anos através de diversos fansubs e mantendo os devidos créditos.

No momento, são apenas explicações. Em breve, para darmos início aos trabalhos, iremos publicar os links para Sakura Card Captors (PA fansub # BLU-RAY Rip).

Miruku-chan e Profª. Mizuki
