by shukyou (主教) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/334420.html) It was the Queer as Folk that tipped him off. But for the four months leading up to it, Gautam just blamed his brother. Frankly, Mani was the more reasonable explanation. “You’ve got nothing to do here,” he sighed as he flopped down on Gautam’s couch, his socked feet dangling […]

by Aosora Hikaru (青空ヒカル) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/334628.html) The sun had just started to set after practice, blazing reds and blinding oranges across the early fall sky, and Seth was glad that the auditorium was to the east of the athletic fields so he could put it at his back.

The Handmaid’s Tail
(mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/331068.html) “This is bullshit,” said Lord Anise to no one in particular as she glared out her bedroom window at the weather. It was a particularly gray day.

The Science of Art
by eth (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/331509.html) Rita squinted, raising a hand to block the sun out of her eyes. She peered over the balcony’s edge. It was practically scorching, but at least they had a decent view; she could probably pinpoint the exact location of every Downtown Los Angeles locale if she tried. LA Live, Union Station, […]

Hunter/Hunted
by loveonthefarm (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/331747.html) Anya woke with a ghost. It lingered in her ears, an echo knocking around in her skull. Her hand was already underneath her pillow, touching warm metal, by the time her rational mind caught up to her instincts and her fast-beating heart.

Polychromatic
by Peko Peko (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/332236.html) Evening dawned in the Autumn Lands, and with it another successful hunt, done by the Order of The Twilight Knights.

The Perfect Gentleman
by Hiwaru Kibi (火悪 木美) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/332448.html) The cathouse at the edge of town was dead quiet, considering the hour of the morning and the day of the week, but it could have been lit up like the Streets of Glory for what a sight it was to my sore eyes. “Catch up with you […]

Love or Sympathy (But Never Both)
by Aosora Hikaru (青空ヒカル) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/332559.html) She’d moved the files around in front of her about twenty times now, Nora was sure. It was another criminal case — murder this time — and as the public defender assigned to the case, she had quite the burden. It had been hell to find a jury, since […]

It’s only too late if you don’t start now
by Hyakunichisou 13 (百日草 十三) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/332875.html) Myra hadn’t been planning the day for years, exactly, but she had thought about it on a regular basis, the way she thought about Christmas every year in June, as an inevitability too far off to really start worrying about. People she knew had done crazy things, gone […]

Terra Cotta
by Kuruma Ebi (車エビ) illustrated by beili (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/328532.html) D – 10 With Myung-soo, Yeol learned how to dream. But first Yeol learned how to sleep. Not the optimally timed naps that he used to take just for the utility of it, but the heady sleep of a child, face slack and limbs everywhere. Indulgent. […]

So Minh did the only polite thing and jammed […]
