Alistair in Wonderland--Ch. 2

Alistair in Wonderland: ** A Genderbending Story ** Chapter 2 * * "Hare, you remember our old friend Alistair, don't you?" his hostess began conversationally as the tea party resumed with its new guest seated. "It's the wrong Alistair," the Dormouse repeated, crossing her arms. The prized Bandersnatch eye tied around her waist bounced gently. The yet gooey eye caught the Hare's, momentarily distracting him before he swung his back to the young Englishman. "The other one, yes. Don't know about this one. This one's very small," he said, ears twitching fretfully. "Yes, well, he's likely drunk some pishsalver, hasn't he?" the Hattre

Impromptu Landings

~~~ Impromptu Landings ~~~ What can I say? My travels abroad have been…well, exhilarating. I never knew this world could be so exciting, nor that it was so big. I suppose I had to leave England, itself an island country, to really see such wonderful possibilities. And what wonders I have seen out here in the world! I have been the sole person on the deck of a ship at night with only the sound of the waves for company, gazing out into the infinite depths of the sky and sea, counting the pearly white stars in the night until I am positively lost in them, or in the numbers, or both. I've set foot on eastern lands unvisited by a sin

Alistair in Wonderland: ** A Genderbending Story ** Chapter 1 ** ** "Alistair, you're back!" cried a bright, tinkling voice from the head of the table. "No, he isn't," said another, squeakier one. "He's not the right Alistair." The young man in question, shrunk by pishsalver, stood before the tea party's platform but was at such an angle that he could not see the bearers of these voices. But then he heard a great thump and saw the table and tea-ware jump as a dazzling whirlwind of colors appeared tripping eagerly across the surface, setting cups and saucers and pots to clattering. The young man reflexively blin

Tokka Love Is...4

** Chapter 4 ** Love Is… ** …Self-Sacrifice ** ** Sokka and Toph sat in this fashion outside the restaurant for a long while, each silent, each brooding about the frustrations and disappointments life had dealt him/her. Neither particularly liked his/her hand of cards at the moment, and sitting out on the street curb with a close friend-essentially doing nothing to incur Fortune's ill graces any further-seemed their best bet. So, as the minutes then hours passed, and group after group of fine dining patrons hobbled home drunk on wine and full of food, Sokka and Toph took comfort that even though they were both miserable on

Tokka Love Is...3

** Chapter 3 ** Love Is… ** …Sitting on the Side of the Road ** ** Dinner that night was, to say the least, an awkward affair. Sokka's distress was practically palpable (in Zuko's case, it had even dampened his napkin), and the poor boy was so woebegone he could barely touch his food. He could barely look at it even, he said again and again; though when Zuko grumpily suggested they simply send it back and put it out of its misery already, Sokka vehemently cried, "What about my misery?!" and immediately scarfed the entire plate's contents. This left him literally sick to his stomach, however,

** Chapter 2 ** Love Is… ** …a Snot-Nosed Guppy ** ** "Gone?" Katara repeated. "You mean she left?" Sokka nodded solemnly. "Well, that's nothing to get so beat up over," Aang said cheerfully. "She'll just have to join us for dinner next time." Sokka's face practically morphed into a guppy's, his eyes wide and watery and his lips puckered up and trembling violently. Their server inconveniently arrived at that moment to take their order, stealing Sokka's temporary limelight. Everyone but Sokka and Toph flipped open their menus to select their choice dinners for the evening. Mai leaned toward Toph, trying to close the d

** Chapter 1 ** Love Is... ** ...Destruction of Self ** ** Sokka stumbled into the bar, utterly dazed. Each lock of his hair looked as stunned as its owner, splaying off his shoulders in a messy array. Where the hell did that come from? was the only thought circling his mind at this point, mere minutes after the event as he now found himself. Not that he had any sense of time right now. He just knew that he and Suki were supposed to be meeting Aang and the gang for dinner when the bomb had landed. No, it wasn't just a bomb. It was total and complete eruption, distructio

Just Something Personal

Okay, so...I keep thinking about him, and I want to write about him. The good. And the problem. I guess I'll go with the problem first. Well, maybe it's nicer to go with the good first? I'm not sure which. I suppose I'll say the problem first in order to preface the rest. That way, as I type all the good, I will be very aware of the problem and will be less likely to run away with the idea that anything could even be happening between us. But I swear it feels like it is. Anyway. The problem. He's got a girlfriend. (Actually, I think I might have mentioned that before, but maybe that was in the entry I accidentally deleted before I

On Top

Why It's Not So Good to Be On Top Tomorrow marks the end of my first week at my summer job. The first two days were awful and torturous, but since then I've begun to kind of like working there. As long as I'm not sitting around doing nothing, I actually kind of like it (though I certainly have no problem with sitting around doing nothing while talking with my co-workers). It's not the most awesome job in the world, but I admit it has more pluses than minuses. The minuses, though, are pretty frustrating. For example: the project Forrest gave me today as "something to do when my boss doesn't have an

Is it possible to live two loves?

0 min read

The title is something of a meditation, but the entry itself is more of an announcement of sorts. I am and will continue to be an active member in the Tokka community.  My latest fic "Love Is..." is moving along quite well, I feel, and I've a good number of roughly drafted chapters in the works, so updates will continue to continue weekly.  (Except for this past Friday because I was on spring break and catching up on all my sleep, but anyway...) Last Friday evening I treated my cousin to go see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland at the IMAX in 3D for his birthday; and while I sadly wanted much, much more from the film, I've since found that m

Hello, anyone who bothers to read this journal update!  I've been out of the DA loop for several months now, but I'm doing my best to plug myself back in.  I just really need some fun distractions in my life right now, it being the middle-ish of the spring term and all.  Plus, I've been missing seeing/reading others' work and sharing some of my own. I hope some of you have managed to stay with me through my accidental hiatus.  : )

Chiru's Quiz, aka Chiru Talks

0 min read

The Rules: 1. You must choose only ONE of your OCs or canons. Do it again if you wanna use another OC. 2. Your OC must answer every question as truthfully as possible. 3. Title the journal as "OC's Quiz (your OC's name. Example:Kaiser's Quiz)". 4. When you're done, tag as many people as you want. 5. Have fun 1. Hi! What's your real name and nickname?? My name is Chiru.  Trunks and Goten think it's funny to call me Chiru-chan.  It's not. [Niach]: You know you love it. Shut up, you. 2. Interesting. What's your current age? According to which planet's understanding of years and system of counting?  On Earth I'm sixteen, but take that
