Annnnnnnnnnddddd... some more (but still not all) of that birthday fic I promised you, Aoife-Hime! Including the opening from last time.

Fandom: CCS
Character: Fujitaka, Sonomi
Genre: Chick-flick-ish

( Would it be better if they just skipped the in-between stuff and made out already? )

It's official; more than six years after entry into the fandom, Sonomi is my favorite character to write in fanfic.

Who else is doing this btw?

Written for the drabble theme #11 "Dreams/Nightmares".

Title: Man of Your Dreams
Series: CCS
Length: 550 words
Genre: Humor, Drama
Character: Sonomi
Summary: Sonomi goes to Counseling
Rating: PG-15

( Man of Your Dreams )

Dad: "Do you know how hard it is to save money? Half of American kids borrow through college and grad school and owe the Government 50-100K by the time they're done. The lucky ones like you will make 100K a year. Obama takes 30% of that and California takes 10%. You scrimp and just maybe you'll save 10,000 a year. A small house around here is 1 million. Figure it out."

By promising to leave me a little something and ensuring that I finish law school debt free, dad has supposedly put me ahead of the field by 20 years. Talk about blessings that come with pressure.

Diet: Cal has entered an era of low-carb super high protein dieting. That means chicken breast, whey protein powder, and cottage cheese. Sodium free fat free cottage cheese tastes... apathetic. I enjoy the texture but add blueberries or honey for taste. Two cups before bed. Stuffy, but I seem to sleep better.

The bike ride around SF (I forgot whether I shared about this) went really great, all things considered. I was still too chicken to ride across the bridge due to my genuine fear of heights. There were also huge winds that day, up to 35 mph, which made riding almost a hazard.

Cooking: Coming up; Blanched broccoli salad. With grapes rather than raisins, olive oil rather than mayo, hot coppa rather than fried bacon. It's for a potluck. Google wiki informed me that pretty looking and healthy dishes are a big hit, and Italian always goes first. Let's hope that's true even for 60 year old Taiwanese folks.

CCS: Two ideas simmering: Sonomi visits the Company shrink to talk about her inappropriate fantasies about Fujitaka her issues. 2, what happens when Touya "introduces" Tomoyo to Fujitaka.

Hetalia: The Star Bangled Banner, America's Anthem, was officially recognized in 1931. The lyrics were from a poem, the tune was from a BRITISH DRINKING SONG. I learned that listening to FM 102.1 Classical. Special Relationship indeed.

Mood Theme: I'm starting to use a mood theme someone made. It's 10th Division Bleach: Matsumoto and Hitsugaya. I still love them.

Summer school and work: For two and a half months I expect to receive... 1K. Not even rent. Mreh...

SF Symphony: Will perform BEETHOVEN, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and RACHMANINOV's Piano Concerto #2 (Nodame Cantabile peeps), which is my all time favorite piece of music in July. Am considering skipping a day of work to attend Rachamaninov.

From my days of ceaseless studying for finals (snicker. Headwall):

A drabble inspired by manga cliches:

It happens to everyone, even to those who have everything and more.

The weather forecast was off. Road construction and an accident kept her limo stuck in traffic blocks away, so Tomoyo Daidouji stood in front of her elementary school and waited, hands on her schoolbag as she watched some of the younger kids splash through the puddles.

A light tap on her shoulder; she turns and finds a tall boy in a light blue uniform, her best friend's big brother. She smiled--it was as though he could sense the rain and arrived before the first drop fell. "Thank you, but my bodyguards will be here soon."

He leaves the umbrella with her anyways, sharing an umbrella with Sakura and getting his shoulder all wet as the siblings walked home.

She returns the umbrella to him personally at the Kinomoto home the day after. His eyes widen for a moment when he finds her at the door before he grins.

"You could have just given it to Sakura at school."

Tomoyo goes home wondering why the thought never occurred to her.

Prompt from L: "Minutes before dawn" or "Are you sure?" I used both.
Title: First Time
Rating: PG-13, PG-16 if you have a really good imagination.
Length: 760 Words
Characters: Touya, Tomoyo

( Patience rewards. )

A Tomouya I wrote. Sugary and possibly guilty of being pointless; it certainly gave me a guilty pleasure sense of accomplishment by the time I finished it.

Title: The gift that keep on giving.
Length: 1500
Rating: PG13
Characters: Touya, Tomoyo
Genre: Romance

( Probably the most shameless story I've ever written. )

Fandom: CCS
Title: Man in Heat
Characters: Fujitaka and Sonomi
Genre: Romance, Humor
Rating: PG
Length: 1000 Words
Description and notes: Fujitaka's POV (!!!). Had a great deal of fun writing this little piece, with some flirty Jazz pieces by Dave Brubeck to help me finish the last stretch. Fanon always has Fujitaka unaffected while Sonomi struggles with denial and fits over him, which didn't seem fair at all, so I decided to put Fujitaka on the hot seat for once. Hoped that, if it wasn't convincing, at least people will find it fun, which is the most important thing about fics anyways.

Also, people might see a strong resemblance between Fuji/Sonomi in this piece and another couple I like to talk about in CCS. I did that on purpose, it makes perfect sense to me.

( You wouldn't know by looking at him, no way. )

Cross-Posted from Tsukimine shrine.

My first fanfic after nearly two months of Writer's Slump, I feel like an injured baseball player coming out to player after a season of frustrating injuries... a little apprehensive about rust, but glad to be back nontheless. Criticisms would be most welcome.

Title: Parent talk
Genre: Friendship (with a subtle hint of something more...)
Canon: Yes
Rating: G
Length: 1550 words
Pairing: Fujitaka and Sonomi
Note: Ties in with Rainy Days as preludes to another story that is yet to come.

( A college is a school too... )

I realize that this is a fanfiction community, so mods, delete this if neccessary, but I honestly made this as an attempt to find some inspiration for a Touya-Tomoyo fic, and it has helped.

Oh, and if anyone could point me to the proper communities to post something like this, please let me know.
