sisyphus

Title: A Rose, a Rainbow, a Name.
Warnings: Girl love.
Word Count: 823.
Characters: Nia Kane, Alanna Kane.
Notes: Despite what might be thought, both Alan and Alanna have middle names.

Summary: In the midst of the trio AU, Alanna appears. Horribleness ensues, and different bonds transpire. Two leave for a new place, a new life, and a new love. A new hope, perhaps, that what they want won't be held out to another instead.

( Filing papers. )

(Albedo, Nigredo, Ayuzawa Misaki, Usui Takumi, Ushiromiya Lion, Willard H. Wright, Usui Shuusei, Renjou Hotsuma, Illyasiel von Einzbern, Archer, Cas, Saya, Hei, Yin, Daryl Dixon, Rob Ryan, Cassie Maddox, Furude Rika, Ryougi Shiki, Ion Fortuna, Sajyou Ayaka, Fiona Belli, Aozaki Touko, Ushiromiya Ange, Ryuugamine Mikado, Renamon, Ariana, Jaden Keaton, Sarah Gear, Michael.)

Title: tonight tonight tonight
Words: 3275

Notes: My first failure of a short. Personal fireworks, and the making of them, is illegal in many areas, so I wanted to clarify if that was confusing.

sisyphus

Title: Death and War's Wedding

Notes: I love my rhyme scheme.

Summary: What a dream; what a delight!

( a bored guest )

sisyphus

Title: Sentiment and Shadows
Warnings: Vague
Word Count: 2344
Characters: Alan Kane. Yasmin Liat.
Notes: Takes place at the same time as Sound and Sight. Has references for Picturesque Madness, Gentle Homicide, Name and Point, and Give, as well as this thread in general. Among others, there are quotes from the Merchant of Venice and Isaiah 1:18. Perhaps this is Alan stripped bare. Perhaps this is only nothing.

You will likely not understand.

Summary: I once dreamed a dream. I thought of many things. Terrors in the night to shake me. Ah, but the shadows keep me warm, the dark keeps me safe. Please, oh, please; keep me in this place.

( the heart of it. )

sisyphus

Title: Visions
Words: 562
Notes: There is no context.
Credits to the Cat Lady and Neil Gaiman.

( it would go away )

sisyphus

Title: Raw
Warnings: Threesomes!
Word Count: 314
Characters: Nia POV. Nigel, Alan.
Notes: ...I am a bad person who likes bad things. You'll probably see a bunch of these stories pop up.
Nia originates from the idea of an artifact/creation that creates a mirror of a person, with their own experiences and memories, and Nigel touched that. She is basically an AU Nigel, and would be a fem!Nigel if not for all of the discrepancies. She is definitely her own person.

Summary: Give me your wants-- I'll take your fears.

( Irregular. )

coexistence

Title: Because of Reasons
Warnings: Antisocial inclinations.
Word Count: 320
Characters: Alan and Nigel

sisyphus for Valentine's Day! Yes, the title is from the meme.

sisyphus

Title: Resolutions.
Warnings: Vulgar mouths.

sisyphus

Title: Sound and Sight.
Warnings: Cocks touching. Abstract natures.
Word Count: 2573
Characters: Nigel and another.
Notes: NFWS inspiring artwork is here.
Music is Suicide Mission (Mass Effect 2), Apotheosis (Journey), and I Was Born For This (Journey).
This is the prequel to this thread. A genesis would read that Alan and Nigel married, lived together and investigated the supernatural together, until the age of thirty-one. An incident of shadows much like the one early on in Enlightenment happened again, but when the night ended, Alan was gone. And most of others' memory of him as well. Except for Nigel. For five years, he was the only one to remember. To recall. To continue on.

Summary: Beyond the shadow you settled for, there's a miracle illuminated-- But not yet. Not yet.

( Is that how you saw him? )

sisyphus

Title: sightless.
Warnings: All that includes.
Word Count: 459
Characters: Alan.
Notes: Heavily references something not yet written in full, as well as Gentle Homicide.

Characters: Alan and Nigel's therapist.
Notes: ...So I got excited over

psyches's Tape, and had an urge to write the scene between Alan and the psychologist. I'm horrible, basically. Also a stolen line from one of Nigel's background stories.

Summary: An interlude; an expansion. A method of exchange and alignments.

( And Alan thought, a beat frozen-- )

psyches

Title: Tape
Warnings: Implications.
Word Count: 865
Characters: Alan, Nigel, his therapist, and a brief mention of others
Notes: This is a story that isn't supposed to make sense. References lines from this thread.

( the glass piece was blood-red to his pale eyes. )

aison

Title: Drowning Echoes.
Warnings: Mindfuck.
Word Count: 8588.
Characters: Alan. Nigel. Ariadne, Lorelei, Sarah, Cynthia, Crista.
Notes: References are

psyches

Title: Die Lorelei
Warnings: Language, violence, and Alan's temper.
Word Count: 10072
Characters: Alan, Nigel, Lorelei, and Jaden
Notes: Use of "Die Lorelei" by Heinrich Heine, of course, and other things. Also, this story plays a part. And this.

sisyphus

Title: character study; Contrasts.
Warnings: Zilch.
Word Count: 308.

Summary: Define for me light and life, dark and decay.

( contradict in tone. )

psyches

Title: Turn Them to the Wall
Warnings: None
Word Count: 86
Characters: Nigel and Alan
Notes: A drabble on a particular theme, the former being a request and the latter being mine.

Summary: Seeing double.

( pattern. )

aison

Title: moon and the motions
Warnings: Not quite.
Word Count: 3522.
Characters: Alan and Lion. Will and Nigel.
Notes: Commission for

psyches: "Nigel Kane, Bernkastel, and Willard H. Wright; on miracles."
This is part two of three.

Summary: Of this world, there are some that were never meant to be. By fortune or fate, they've claimed their path, and if it backs them into a corner, it's a fate they've chosen on their own. There are things people die for. For all the reasons that people live.

( Touch me. )

aison

Title: Idle Imagery.
Warnings: NC-17. Yep. I said it.
Word Count: 2324.
Characters: Alan and Nigel.
Notes: One themed line is stolen from a work of

psyches, despite its usage.

Ever-newer waters flow on those who step into the same rivers / All entities move and nothing remains still / Everything changes and nothing remains still... and... you cannot step twice into the same stream / We both step and do not step in the same rivers.

Characters: Alan-centric. Jaden, Nigel, mention of Cynthia. Cameos of Crista, Erico, Ariadne, Rubedo, Albedo, Nigredo.
Notes: I'm on an Alan/Nigel kick.

originally posted: 2011-06-01

Title: "Nice Times."
Warnings: Not really. Violence.
Word Count: 3927.
Characters: Alan, Nigel. Cynthia, Jaden cameos.
Notes: This was technically based on a prompt from

siren_verses ("nice brother times with Alan and Nigel") though it went far off from where I intended. This is not happy crack. =|

Title: Gentle Homicide.
Warnings: Violence, death, rape, etc.
Word Count: 9868.
Characters: Alan, Ariadne, and references to canon characters.
Notes: Notes for shifting tenses, and a lot of reading between the lines. Picturesque Madness takes place when Alan is 21, this takes place from 12 to nearly 14.

Summary: Sometimes shadows conceal what should have been hidden. Sometimes they tread on truths already known. --Change is never instant, no matter what the sources say. A shift can never be shown in moments, and behind the scenes, there are causes and effects, and none of them are what is expected.

References: The Likeness, by Tana French, and Dance Dance Dance, by Haruki Murakami. Also this thread.

( You should do something. )

aison

originally posted: 2010-12-15

( Too late. )

aison

originally posted: 2009-10-19

Warnings: R+ for passing mentions of family murder, child abuse, and rape. Also Albedo type insanity, obv.
Characters: Alan, Crista, Erico, cameo of Nigel. Flashback with Rubedo/Junior; mentions of Angel if you squint, Citrine if you read into it, and Sakura.
Notes: For Damned's '09 oktoberfest. I didn't even mean to do this. I wrote it really randomly. >_>; And know nothing about college. =D

Summary: You only hurt what you love, and if you love nothing? Maybe that means you'll end up tied to destruction. --Nearly nine years gone, a simple class assignment leads to a life search and life loss, and nothing is what is seems when there's nothing really there.
