Title: Conversations With Death
Author: Christy and Ashkara
Characters: Duo, Death
Prompt: Character Study
Rating: NC17
Length: Short
Brief summary: Duo is known as Shinigami in the Gundam Wing show. The God of Death. This story takes a look at Duo's early life and tells you just why he chose that. It's goes from angst to funny and is a really great read. Oh, and the POV on this? Is Death's Itself.
Here is a brief excerpt:
I stifled a gasp. My mortal child honestly thought it was *his* fault?! How could he believe that? This would not do. My Duo would *not* be saddled with a guilt that was not his!
'Little mortal, they loved you. It was war that took them. War and greed and random chance are at fault, never you.' I hugged him tighter. 'Sister Helen told you she loved you, and that she was proud of you. Would she have said that if she blamed you? Would she have given you the cross you now wear?'
He shook his head slightly. '...No.'
'So, if she didn't blame you, can you honestly believe it was your fault?' I asked him, hoping it could really be this easy.
'But I stole the suit--' Okay, my Duo was going to be stubborn again. It was a particular personality trait of his I was to become entirely too familiar with.
'Duo, no 'buts'. Whether you stole the suit or not, they would have attacked the church. If you hadn't gone to steal the suit, you would have died as well. I don't think the good Sister would have wanted that. She seemed very happy that you were alive and well.'
He seemed to think about that for a few minutes, and I hoped I had gotten through to him. Then he asked, quietly, 'Will you leave me, too?'
Well, of course I wouldn't leave him, silly human. I looked him in the eyes and promised once again, 'I won't leave you. Anytime you need me, I'll be here, whether you can see me or not. I promise you that.'
He sniffed and nodded, then hit me with the big one. 'How can ya promise? How do ya know all this?'
Well, damn. I had chosen to tell him the truth, and I certainly couldn't switch to lies now. Every once in a while, I think that honesty is overrated. I took a deep breath, steeled myself for his reaction and tipped his face up to look at me.
'I know, my little mortal, because I am Death.'

Title: Bish Hunter Duo Series
Author: Mel and Christy
Characters: Duo, Wufei, Heero, Quatre, Trowa (1x2x5, 3x4)
Prompt: Humor
Rating: NC17
Length: Long (ish)
Brief summary: Okay so Duo is waiting for the flight home, and the only thing he can find to do it watch the nature shows on the telly. He then gets the idea to film his friends and lovers as a joke. This is really quite silly and just fun to read!
Here is a brief excerpt:
Once again we return to our study of the bishounen, concentrating today on the final member of this small pack... the Chang Wufei. Like the Heero we studied yesterday, Wufei's are inordinately early risers, posing a problem for any researcher who is not a morning person. Nevertheless, we have managed to get in place soon enough to observe this magnificent specimen performing his morning rituals and activities.
The camera shifted around to get a clear line of sight between leaves and branches, then zoomed in until it was aimed at the back door of the house. The shot was angled rather steeply downwards, and the camera wobbled as a light breeze swayed the branches; Duo, it seemed, was in danger of falling out of his tree.
The Wufei is, in many ways, a creature of habit, Duo continued, not sounding at all worried by his precarious position. While it may seem that all of the other bishounen in this pack have their own regular occupations, only the Wufei has a fixed daily schedule that he adheres to no matter what else is going on around him, or where he may find himself when one of his activities is due. When at home, the first element of his routine takes place here, rain or shine... and it's due to start...
