The Art of Sushi and Ryuunosuke
by Estirose
c 2009

Takeru sat back and watched as Genta taught Ryuunosuke the fine art of making Sushi. Or rather, tried to teach Ryuunosuke the fine art of making sushi.

Ryuunosuke was many things; a fine actor, a great fighter, an honorable samurai. But while he wasn't on Mako's level, Ryuunosuke was no great cook. Still, Genta was trying, and Ryuunosuke, if a bit flaily, was doing his best to follow Genta's lead.

Takeru firmly believed that Ryuunosuke could do anything he wanted if he put his mind to it. Ryuunosuke had the drive, and the dramatic personality to go with it.

But as Ryuunosuke dropped the sushi he was working on, Takeru could do nothing but smile a small, private smile.

Part 2. I've had this written for a while, I just forgot to post it. Oops. It's currently rated 8+.

Summary: Mio knows loving humans is death. She does it anyway.

( Part 2 )

I wanted to review the entirety of Kamen Rider Blade, with a focus on Kenzaki. So here's 30 drabbles in his POV. The rating is 8+. Word count is 3000. Oh, and spoilers for the entire series.

Summary: Kenzaki goes through a lot in a year.

( A lot )

A while ago, amazonstorm gave me permission to write in her "Paradise Lost" universe. Apparently, my brain's been turning that over ever since, and finally gave me this fic. It's not quite set in her universe, but is kind of a "What if" off of her universe, in this case, "What if Taiga had other reasons for doing what he did?" Like the original universe, this is AU. And it's 8+, word count 3757.

Summary: Taiga keeps his baby brother safe because his baby brother insists on not being safe.
