Between Skin and Sky
by Mitsui Matsuri (蜜井茉莉) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/15483.html) There was nothing to be done, after all. Shibata took apart his camera, put it back together, and did everything all over again with his eyes closed for the hell of it. The three schoolgirls in knee-high socks stared blatantly at his boots — still muddy from Kashmir — […]

by Tamanegi Amai (玉葱亜麻衣) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/15633.html) I. It was summer. The days stretched long and the unrelenting sun made the flesh moist and the soul weak, idle. Alan awoke that afternoon to the heavy feeling of Maximilian’s unabashedly exposed body upon his, their limbs tangled together and the musty smell of perspiration hanging lazily in […]

The Flight Of Netted Birds
by SODA (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/9664.html) The planet of Tori is famous for many things. It is the only planet that still doesn’t allow any of its guests to stay overnight.

Memory
by Shin De (シン・デ) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/9895.html) It had been years since, but it was still vivid in the way that cherished memories were, and simple in the way that only kids could remember.

A Common Interest
by Chikyouiko (小胸囲娘) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/10036.html) I wouldn’t by any means classify myself as a ‘relationship expert’. What teenage boy is? But I have flicked through my older sister’s magazine collection once or twice, so that may give me a slight advantage over my peers. I mean, who would know more about ‘How to Soothe a […]

Foul Play (Time-out! 2)
by Mamih Lapinatapai (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/11115.html) Just when Colin G. West (middle name still censored, for self-protection, of course) thinks he knows everything about Matthew James Brose, somebody poisons the local water supply a la Batman Beyond, or kidnaps the original and replaces Matthew with an alien baby. Whatever. The point is that all of a […]

Under The Weight Of Your Wings
by Yoshida Kasumi (由堕 霞) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/11412.html) The first impression I ever had of him was softness. Wings composed of fluffy black feathers swept through the air behind him, and something deep down beneath the chilly blue of his eyes seemed to beg to be touched. It was thoughtlessness that made me reach out, all […]

Created Perfection
by Satoimo Taro (里芋たろ) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/11998.html) He was a sleek dark man who hunted game and fish and undead things in the wild places where roads would not go. For a while he would leave the city and sleep on board a trade caravan setting out, then slip away as it was passing through the […]
