Denied

Written for @whumptober, Day 28!

Prompt: Denial

M; 2.2k Kei/Sho (pre-relationship)

Sho's first heat has come late, and it drives him harder still for that delay; despite what he might long for, Kei offers comfort and reassurance . . . and nothing more. It only makes the ache worse.

Heart of You

Written for @whumptober Day 4! (Theme: “I see the danger, It’s written there in your eyes.” Prompt 2: Shock Prompt 3: ‟You in there?”)

E; 4k Kei/Sho, Hana

Sho is yet new to being a vampire, and it seems that all his life right now is blood and grief and pain, but . . . he and Kei will weather all of it together - even those things they may inflict on one another.

Turn It Up

E; 6.4k Kei/Sho

Sho's heartbeat is like magic, like a song, the most beautiful thing in the world - Sho is the most beautiful thing in the world - and Kei, just a little drunk, relaxed and easy, wants to turn it up.

@penguinmusings thank you so much for sparking this off from a silly, silly quote that made me think of Kei and Sho, to thoughts for a story I really enjoyed writing (even while it was a tricky bitch >.>); I hope you enjoy the results! And the sequel . . . well it's in progress, at least. ;)

Deepest Self

Chapter Two: Wild

M; 1.9k (this chapter; whole story now 3.8k) Kei/Sho

Story summary:

Though he adores Sho with every fibre of his being, Kei can’t help but worry - especially now they have shared so much more, when Kei knows what it’s like to have Sho - what will happen if the deepest, most monstrous part of himself, sometimes both awakened and left wanting by feeding, returns home in his skin.

Chapter two brings us Sho's POV, and it's time for the feral trope that is this fic's raison d'etre to make an appearance!

Deepest Self

Chapter One: Warning

M; 1.9k (this chapter) Kei/Sho

Though he adores Sho with every fibre of his being, Kei can’t help but worry - especially now they have shared so much more, when Kei knows what it’s like to have Sho - what will happen if the deepest, most monstrous part of himself, sometimes both awakened and left wanting by feeding, returns home in his skin.

This would be (chapter one of) the project that was working titled "Feral" (Warning, Wild, Waking. . .), of which all chapters are finished! (Significant thanks to WIP Wednesdays. >.>) I'll be editing and posting the other two soon as well.

We're starting out with introspective Kei angst, but it really is a very fluffy and sweet feels story . . . eventually. XP

Paired Impossibilities

Written for @domaystic​! Day 20: in the nearby park

T; 1.2k Kei/Sho

Despite everything that has changed or been lost over the years and the heavy weight of aching sorrow they each carry, the bonds between Kei and Sho, defining their worlds, have perhaps only drawn tighter.

This prompt I knew would be perfect for a Moon Child fic . . . then promptly took *coughs* several weeks to figure out what specifically. X’D

Daydream Realised

A Moon Child story.

E; 4.5k Kei/Sho

Sho follows the temptation of an old daydream - and an ever-present desire - and Kei wakes to a shock of pleasure he's more than willing to indulge and answer.

[kalira]

Not a Birthday Present

Written for @yearoftheotpevent, January: first kiss

T; 1.9k Kei/Sho

It's not really a present to be asked for, but there is something Sho wants, wishes for more than anything . . . please?

[kalira]

Crossroads

A crossover Kagen no Tsuki x Moon Child story, originally written on the Three Sentence Ficathon!

T; 555 words Adam & Kei (Adam/Mizuki, Kei/Sho)

Adam's peaceful, solitary waiting is unexpectedly subject to the ripple of a strange yet even more strangely familiar presence passing through the mist.

[kalira]

Dose of Realism

T; 2.8k Kei/Sho, Sho & Toshi

Faced with Sho's blatant pining, perhaps Toshi can provide a little perspective. Though, obvious or not, he may be the only one to have noticed. . . Ready or not, Kei.

This thought has been on my idea board for more than a year; I used my @gywo build-a-bingo board and prompts as a nudge to finally write it! For the prompt: rooftop

Shining Light on Misconceptions

T; 950 words Kei/Sho, Son, Toshi

Tin-Chen has a very important warning to give his (maybe) new friends. But maybe . . . it wasn't quite so important in this direction.

(canon moment with a twist, soulmate AU)

Written for @gywo build-a-bingo, prompt: misunderstanding

Sunrise Promises

Written for my @gywo Build-a-Bingo board, prompt: sunrise

T; 1.6k Kei/Sho

When the sun rises on their empty apartment, it brings to light a fear Sho thought he had left behind years ago. But perhaps now, rather than feeding it, Kei can put it to rest at last.

And my board as it stands now:

Pretense and Permission

Written for @whumptober, Day 20

Prompts: Emotional Angst Shoulder to Cry On Giving Permission to Die “It's not your fault.”

T; 1.6k Kei/Sho

Facing up to the pretenses Kei and Sho both held - however well or poorly, with one another - they come out the other side together.

[kalira]

Helpful Advice

Written for @gywo Yahtzee! The prompt ribbed (in . . . multiple meanings *coughs*).

E; 2.1k Kei/Sho (Sho & Son)

Son - ever the big brother - just wanted to be sure Sho was being safe, all right? No matter how uncomfortable he was considering what Sho might be getting up to with Kei . . . what Sho is quite happy to be getting up to with Kei again, now, Son's advice eliciting little more than laughter.

Winged Hope

My final Valentine's Spectacular story for this year!

T; 1.7k Kei/Sho

Kei has always known that one day Sho will find the person his soulmark promises is waiting for him - someone better than Kei could ever be - and Kei will have to let Sho go, his own precious sun, no matter how his own heart and soul cry out. Sho thinks he has the most obvious soulmark in creation, and he's very lucky in so many ways, but he's also had to be so patient all these years of waiting. . .

A New Glow

Part of my 2024 Valentine's Spectacular!

T; 1.3k Toshi/Yi-Che (background Kei/Sho; whole gang featured)

The blooming glow of a new revelation illuminates possibilities between hearts on a peaceful nighttime beach.
