Babble of a Distant Star

Because I am an idiot, I go and write fic for a challenge decided by number of reviews... fic for a super-obscure fandom, no less!

I don't care, I like this fic and I hope you will too.

EDIT: fic now in this entry since the link is dead

Note: Risa Sugawara was of the members of Japan’s gymnastics team in 1996 (the year before the manga first came out). Maki is over a foot taller than Ms. Sugawara.

In the Stands
Warnings: Angst, some possible body image issues
Words: 776

I finally got to use wheel in ceramics class! So. Damn. Happy! I looooove it! It takes a lot of arm strength. After like an hour and a half I can't even hold the clay steady since my arm gets so tired, and if you can't hold it steady actually making something is right out. But I love it so much! (I do not like slab building, though I am 95% sure that's because I hate our slab assignment. If it was more loose in what I could choose to build I think I would be doing okay.)

In other news... New theme of the week! Girlfriends. Meaning some outright yuri and some sort of fluffy girl/girl pining and maybe some bff gen to round it out.

Ah... I wasn't even going to post this one first, but I got really worked up with it. For some reason I could picture so perfectly where I was going with it, but actually writing it was like pulling teeth. (Usually it's just the opposite. I write along with such vigor and then go, "Wait, where am I going with this?") So I got completely caught up in finishing it last night, and now here we are. Ta da!

This one is absolutely for Rice Kracker! For getting me into this series in the first place. Thankyuuuu! I got to try writing three of my fave characters all in one go. Maki, Mina, and Miori all in one! (And icon because: yes. Yes it is so canon.)

Title: Caring Intensity
Pairing: Mina/Maki... or Maki/Mina?
Warnings: light yuri
Words: 2240
Summary: Mina gets Maki home after her first battle against the League of Black-suited Gentlemen.
