Every once in awhile, I get the urge to clean out my scraps folder and either finish the stories or delete them. Below the cut are a few things that started out really well, but that I either got tired of working on or had to abandon for other reasons. We'll call this post NC-17, overall, though the Gravitation and Final Fantasy scraps are more like PG or PG-13.

This one's 200 words to make up for the fact that I didn't post yesterday.

Title: Lesson
Characters: Soubi/Ritsuka
Rating: PG-13

"It's slimy." Ritsuka wrinkled his nose and stared down at his hands.

Soubi chuckled and wrapped his fingers around Ritsuka's wrist. "You'll get used to it, I promise. Now watch, move your hands up and down like this, just your palms for now."

"I don't think I'm doing it right," Ritsuka replied as he tried to relax his arm and follow Soubi's lead. "Is it supposed to look like that?"

"It's fine," Soubi assured him quietly. "Just play with it for a little while until-- no, now curl your fingers more, like this."

"Oh," Ritsuka breathed, watching Soubi's hand guide his over the slick surface.

"That's it," Soubi murmured. "You're so good at this."

"Am not," Ritsuka replied, but his cheeks and the tips of his ears were burning in response to the praise.

"I like watching you do this," Soubi whispered softly. "You're so cute, even when you're all dirty."

Ritsuka twitched when he felt warm lips on the side of his neck and watched with dismay as the clay that had just started to take shape on the potter's wheel crumpled under his hands. "Told you I'm no good."

"It's okay." Soubi smiled and wiped at a light grey smear on Ritsuka's cheek. "We'll just keep practicing."

Title: Changes
Characters: Soubi/Ritsuka
Rating: PG-13

They'd kissed before, but never like this.

Ritsuka—his reserved, prickly Ritsuka—was shivering against his mouth, curled up tight on his lap, knees pressing ribs and hands clutching shoulders. They'd kissed before because Soubi needed, but they kissed now because Ritsuka wanted, gasped and mewled and pleaded with the slow rocking of his hips.

"Ritsuka," Soubi prayed. What he meant to say, or ask for, he didn't know, because maybe he'd hurt them both or maybe he'd just suffocate under the weight of his longing.

Until Rituska's eyelashes fluttered, and his head bowed, and he whispered, "Take them, Soubi."

I should never, ever have found this site.
