Hey, I'm new here and um, I'd like to great ya all with this short thing here - my first ever Starrk/Ichi fic, one in a series of xxx/Ichi drabbles. So hello and enjoy!

Title: Inflamed

Pairing: Starrk/Ichigo

Words: 404

Warnings: Don’t get burned.

A/N: It’s my first time writing Starrk and I can’t say I failed. Well, I don’t feel like I did, anyway. But I might be wrong.

Oh! And there’s a poll on my LJ/FF.net profile, go and vote for whatever it is that you want to read next.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or any of the characters.

Title: Glass Towers
Author: hitokiri07eva
Disclaimer: No money is made off this work of fiction. Naruto is not mine. If it was, I would be rich and I wouldn’t be writing this, now would I?
Summary: Damn him. Damn Hatake Kakashi for reducing her to this. And damn herself a thousand times over for loving him all the same!
When Naruto gave up her dream of being Hokage in favor of marrying Kakashi, she never imagined things would come to this. Life as the Wife Consort of the Rokudaime Hokage was not what she wanted when she took on the permanant S rank mission to protect her Hokage.
'Rating: G
Pairing: KakaNaru
Note: I thought I’d try to write a KakaNaru fic to re-acclimate myself to the work, and hopefully jumpstart my muses on Soundscape and ParaSur to ParaCont. Of course, I started thinking, in a society where ninja tend to die young, and therefore marry young, what would happen to a marriage with an age gap of almost two decades after a decade has passed and the very things that drew them together holds them apart? Love is not always passion and understanding. Sometimes it’s ice and duty. I think, in a world of shinobi, this might be the only thing holding a family of ninja together when a common enemy is gone and everything has changed.

Once, she had been a beautiful kunoichi, powerful in her guile and confident in her capacity to seduce and destroy, a silk and velvet fan that hid the steel frame and razor sharp cutting edges, now, the velvet and silk was all that remained.

Midnight Feeding

On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice.

Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.

We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!

As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work.

Only the faint scar on his midsection remained as proof of what life itself seemed eager to forget: war, and hurt, and death.

Title: If I Should Die Chapter 13
Fandom: FMA
Pairing: Roy/Ed
Author: inugrlrayn
Rating: PG-13 (eventual R or NC-17)
Summary: I wrote this for a prompt over at the kinkmeme. The request was "Roy ends up maimed in some way, maybe from being captured/tortured; Ed is the one who finds/rescues/takes care of him" It was meant to be a oneshot, but it's run away with me. Thanks, per usual to elfen and cryogenia for read overs and edits and the like.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or any of its characters.

It was a quiet thing, a choked sob he couldn’t quite muffle or restrain. Ed had to be feeling awkward he imagined, but his hand only slid soothingly up and down Roy’s spine.
