So I tried to write a few more relationship replies for that one Luceti meme. Then I tried to write an Oktoberfest story for Damned so I could get Minato his uniform. Wasn't feeling any of that, though.

So I wrote about Albert's mindset for Luceti. Long overdue considering just how enigmatic he is, but I'm also not going to detail everything about him ... because I don't like revealing everything about a character's motives. I think it can ruin interactions.

( The mindset of Albert Silverberg -- some scattered Suikoden spoilers )

Albert: We are here to be experiments. Inhuman experiments; they are advanced enough to steal our humanity. And still you hound me with your snark.
Caesar: Humanity-stealing, my butt. I'm afraid it would take more than someone slapping a pair of wings on your back to make an angel out of you, Albert. ♥

Caesar: These last two years have been just unbearable without your uplifting pleasantries and general aura of good cheer. I've been doing great, thanks for asking.
Albert: Is that so? Two years? I fear knowing what exploits you could have endeavored into in that time. Nothing commendable, I'm sure.
Caesar: *scowls* Oh, the usual; extreme acts of debauchery, doing my best to destroy the precious Silverberg reputation, starting world-wide wars -- you know how it is. God, Albert you are such a prick.

Caesar: Father says hello, by the way, not that you seem to care.
Albert: You're right. I don't.


In other news, we have a little bit of snow in the trees this morning. Likely everyone's staying in when there's about an inch of snow on the ground.

Edit (2:23 PM): Huh. Now it's snowing a lot more. Wow.

Word Count: 476
Rating: T for talking of violence, blood, and all that good stuff
Author's Notes: As the name [subtly] implies, you'll probably need a little bit of knowledge of Suikoden V to understand this one. This is an immediate follow-up to the last drabble I wrote, Masks.

Just waiting for my meeting again... Yay.

At work again. Waiting for another audio file to finish uploading so I can do the work at home. Not that I'll be doing that today; I have Statistics homework to do.

Hmm... Still at 57%. Guess I'll ramble. Or write something...

Title: Swimming
Fandom: Suikoden III
Characters: Caesar, Albert, George Silverberg
Prompt: Why?
Word Count: 868
Rating: 10+ for moody teenager-ness?
Author's Notes: I wrote this at work and didn't actually write this in a word processor; I wrote it directly into LJ. I'm still amazed that this didn't take days to write. ... Maybe I should just write at work more often. XD

Edit (10:51 PM): I've come to the revelation that my favorite relationships to write and read about are brotherly. Not in an incestual way, but in that familial way seems so rarely written about. There's so much romantic love written out there, and yet there seems to be a lack of family stories. And you normally don't even have to make stretches with family stories. *laughs*

I wonder why I adore brotherly relationships... Maybe it's a mixture of my attachment to male characters and my personal observations of my brothers. There's something simple, and yet complexed, about it all.

Brothers I've grown particularly attached to: Albert & Caesar Silverberg (Suikoden), Osamu & Ken Ichijouji (Digimon 02), Seto & Mokuba Kaiba (YGO), Kuja & Zidane (FF9)

Shouldn't have done this so late. But ... I'm stupid and falling asleep as I do this. Ugh. I'll fix possible typos when I'm more awake.

(='.'=) This is Bunny. Copy and paste bunny into your
(")_(") LJ to help him gain world domination.

Edit: Just adding a Suikoden ficlet that I finished yesterday. It's light and cute and a quick read (I suppose). This is about two particular Silverbergs that, to my knowledge, have never been written about at length. And a little baby. Can't forget the baby. *nods*
