Colourful
by Seiwa Kaiyura (性和 界由来) illustrated by lumlumfrog (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/81748.html) Maybe, if he had actually remembered why the hell he had banned hair dye from his bathroom, Esteban would not have let his crazy boyfriend talk him into helping. His wonderful, aggravating boyfriend who had brought cake and had given him lots of nice scratchies […]

Secrets And Lies
by hColleen (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/78285.html) “Tom. Tom, are you awake in there?” The web of fantasy shattered, Tom bit back a groan of frustration and disappointment. “Yes, I’m awake.” “Ken’s here.” A string of profanities formed on Tom’s lips as he struggled to regain something resembling composure. Ken had held the star role in the daydream […]

Fleeting Moments
by Chupacabra (チュパカブラ) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/80572.html) A touch of lips, and it begins again. “Hey.” “…Brian? I thought I told you not to come here!” “And I thought I told you that I’m horrible at listening.” “..heh. How silly of me to forget.” He doesn’t want to move away. This mouth, these poisonous lips; just a […]

Maid In America
by Purrsia illustrated by Nanashi (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/79034.html) It was only when Aaron was standing at the doorway of his own apartment in a three-piece suit that he realized Stu could talk him into pretty much anything. God only knew what the neighbors would think. The neighbors probably already thought plenty of things, with three men […]

Third Wheel
by Tsukizubon Saruko (月図凡然る子) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/72672.html) “‘Unresolved issues’?” Nicky cackles into his drink, not so much because it’s funny as because he can’t remember the number on the drink, and hell, that makes everything pretty funny. “You sound like my mom’s fucking therapist. ‘Unresolved issues.’ Christ.” The table in Kyle’s “basement” is littered with glasses, […]

Strawberry Fields Forever

So Fast
by Naranda Ran (那嬾蛇朱藍) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/77111.html) I don’t understand why I’m enjoying this. I had expected to simply sit in resignation next to the bar, carefully ignoring everyone and drinking some cheap beer, waiting for Kenny to decide he was done so we could go home. Not so. The music is good; addictive beats make […]

Somewhere To Belong
by Shinko Hisada (身固之妥) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/75200.html) To say that the chaos and noise of the capital city was a little overwhelming to a provincial farm boy was rather like saying that the war with Semaska had gone on a bit too long. Even inside one of the buildings, Kale still felt stifled and half-crushed by […]

Delicious
by Shoe illustrated by olukemi (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/72704.html) “Sir, your wine.” The waitress presents the bottle to Emry, then smartly removes the cap. She pours a tasteful blop into his oversized glass. Emry raises the glass to his nose, eyes lighting up as he inhales. A small sip and his eyes are half-closed. He almost forgets […]

Exactly As Planned
by Nijiiro Sumi (虹色 墨) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/75452.html) Brian didn’t think much of the short, quick steps that followed him to the car until something small, hard and cold poked him in the small of his back. Then he froze, keys halfway to the lock. He was a big guy–over six feet and benched his own […]

Avery And The Boy
by Dr. Noh (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/74257.html) “One hundred an hour,” they’d told him, and he’d jumped at the chance. Now, four hours and thirty-one minutes later by his internal clock, he was still happy with his decision. The next guy unzipped and shoved into his ass, already more than slick enough with lube and come. His […]

Valentine’s Rebellion
by Saori Kiorimi (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/73288.html) “I think we should break up for Valentine’s.” The paper rustled in Noel’s grip as he turned the page and studied it with a frown of annoyance. Phoenix looked at him in shock. “You think we should what?” Break up? What for? Why would Noel want to do such a […]
