Title: Going it Alone
Setting: Mallepa, 2015
Theme: #19 - Humility
Rating: PG-13 for violence, mention of prostitution
Summary: Kei has to rescue Sho when Sho tries to handle things on his own.
Author's Notes: This is an uchikake. This is a naga-juban. Proofed by mitsuchan and uranus_sama. Thanks for the encouragement. ♥


( Kei kicked in the old-fashioned sliding door in just in time to see Sho, clad in a short wig and several layers of ornate kimono, twist free from a tall man’s grasp. )

Title: Awake
Setting: Mallepa, 2016
Theme: 30_ways #7 - Good Morning
Rating: G
Summary: Kei wakes up before Sho does.
Author's Notes: I don't like how it's such a similar set-up to "'In Bed...'" but this is a writing challenge and I'm actually kinda struggling so far so I'm doing what I can.

( It was not, in fact, a heavy blanket thrown across his chest but rather a heavy arm instead. )

Title: Last Minute Vacation
Setting: Mallepa, 2019
Theme: 30_ways Theme #6 - Vacation
Rating: G
Summary: A while after playing around at the beach with Toshi, Son, and Yi-Che, this time Sho insists he and Kei return there by themselves.

( Thankfully they survived the drive out to the beach once again, although Sho still tensed up like a gambler with his savings on the line. )

Title: ...In Bed
Rating: PG for language
Setting: Mallepa, 2022-2023
Summary: It turns out Sho is not a morning person.
Theme: 30_ways Challenge #17 - Five More Minutes
Author's Notes: I use the word "smushed," which feels wrong to me as a writer, but nothing else captures the image I'm looking for quite as well. X3; The title is a reference to a joke played with fortune cookies and to Sho's lovably juvenile attitude.

( He thought it would have been easier after a couple of weeks but waking up in the morning still felt about as appealing as discussing his sex life with his brother, so Sho had once again attempted to murder his alarm clock... )

Omake: Broccoli writing prompt
From twhitesakura: "I remember seeing an interesting [challenge] somewhere about broccoli and how a character from one fandom would go about explaining it to another. Since I can’t find the original, I’ll just roll with whatever."

( Kei would tease Sho for idly chasing the broccoli around the plastic tray to make it look like he was eating when he really wasn't. )

Title: Now is Forever
Author: lauraorganasolo
Setting: Mallepa, 2021
Rating: PG for language
Summary: Roof top banter in the middle of the night.
Author's Notes: Written over February and March 2006. Inspired by Coldplay's Amsterdam, Yellow, and the Moon Child test scene, among other things.

( They both chuckled. Kei inhaled the last of his cigarette and somehow managed not to choke as Sho touched his wrist as though making sure he had not disappeared. )

Title: Lately I Just Can't
Rating: PG-13 for mentions of sensuality, violence
Setting: Hong Kong, 2037 (post showdown with Son)
Author's Notes: Born of gray days and these songs (please download!). Nothing more than a "drabble."
Summary: Sho, alone with his thoughts.

( In bed I was half dead/ Tired of dreaming of rest )

Title: One Last Goodnight
Author: Just me.
Setting: Mallepa, 2035
Rating: G
Author's Notes: I wrote this some time in April 2005 on a slow Saturday at work. For the past year I've pretty much focused entirely on adolescent Sho but really, he's just as wonderful to explore as an adult. It's just harder, because he's so much more brood-y.
Summary: A few nights before the showdown between Sho, Son, and Chan's gang.


( He couldn't decide if he wanted her last memories of 'Baba' to be happy ones or if it would be less painful for her not to remember him at all. )

Title: Musings
Author: lauraorganasolo
Setting: Mallepa, 2034
Rating: G
Author's Notes: A vignette written out of a desperate desire to get some creativity out of my system.
Summary: Sho feeling old and melancholy


( He smoked a lot these days... )

Title: Bakemono
Author: lauraorganasolo and bumbanana (AKA Sus Picious)
Rating: PG
Setting: Mallepa, 2024; early in Kei's, Sho's, and Toshi's friendship with Son and Yi-Che.
Author's Notes: Originally written in August 2004, this was my very first Moon Child fanfic, and one of several wonderful collaborative works with bumbanana.
Summary: Kei and Sho's relationship is strained by the natural progression of time and Kei's self-imposed fast.


( Of course it was simple to delineate between family and prey, but what was the monster in him in the end, besides a mindless predator? )

Title: Seek
Author: The Moon Child Grand Pooh-Bah. Thanks to bumbanana for initial Kei characterization and mitsuchan for edityness, as well as mollypocket and amakarie for title help.
Setting: Mallepa, 2020
Rating: R for violence, language.
Summary: Kei told Sho not to adjust his life to a vampire’s but after years of refusal, Sho actually listens. Now Kei doesn’t know what to do -- or whether or not Sho can keep himself out of trouble.
Author’s Notes: A sequel of sorts to The Right Way, or perhaps a prequel to Just What You Wanted and Long Awaited.



( ‘Listen, I need to know where Sho is.’ His quiet voice was sharp; he made it obvious he wasn’t accepting anything short of an answer. )

Title: Just What You Wanted, AKA Otanjoubi Omedetou -- featuring a marvelous illustration by mitsuchan!
Authors: lauraorganasolo and Miya AKA deadcatplushie, without whom there would be no fanfiction from me.
Setting: Moon Child, 2020
Rating: PG-13 for language, minor violence
Authors' Notes: We do mix English and Japanese in this one, because we didn't want to translate the slang and colloquialisms. I've edited it out of all the others because I know this irks some people but I can't bring myself to change it in this particular piece.
Summary: Sho is growing up and like all teenage boys, he desires independence and to be able to protect himself without Kei stepping in. The problem is that Mallepa is far more dangerous than the average teenager's hometown so Sho wants a gun for his own safety. But Kei can't just give a gun to the kid he has been raising for the last six years...


( No one ever wanted to be a boy -- no one ever wanted childish ignorance until one was stained enough by adulthood to realize how much they had left behind. )

Title: Sick Day
Authors: lauraorganasolo.
Setting: Moon Child, 2015
Rating: G
Authors' Notes: Fulfillment of a request from mitsuchan, among others.
Summary: Sho is an unusually serious child, even with the flu. How do you comfort a child that acts like he never needs to be comforted?


( He sounded nothing like what Kei thought a very sick little boy should. )

Title: Somber Youth
Authors: lauraorganasolo, who would not be writing Moon Child without bumbanana.
Setting: Moon Child, 2015
Rating: G
Author's Notes: This was sort of a request fulfillment for mitsuchan, as she wanted very much to read about how Kei’s and Sho’s relationship developed. Personally, I always wanted to know what happened to change the quiet, sarcastic, little boy into the brash, swaggering adult.
Summary: Kei and Sho have only known each other for a few months. Kei ponders the boy's tireless drive to better himself when he comes home one early morning to find Sho still awake and studying hard.


( The youngest of their trio-turned-quartet had always been the quietest... )
