My life is a series of events

Recent conversations of hilarity (or maybe that's just me):

PART ONE:

MOM: [blather about plans for when I visit in January]
ME: [agreeing amicably]
MOM: "And also, when you come down, you and I are going to sit down and figure out a way to make you famous. :|"
ME: "Okay, that-- wait what."

(She sounded utterly and absolutely sincere about this. It also came out of absolutely nowhere. I don't even know. Most of you reading this don't know my mom, but trust me: this is so not in-character for her. Momma, I love you, but I just don't get you sometimes!)

PART TWO:

CHIRA: "So, dude, did you realize that everything you've written for Heat Guy J is porn?"
ME: "... SOB. NO WAIT, I wrote one that was ... almost porn, but wasn't exactly!"
CHIRA: "CLOSE ENOUGH. And it's so not like you! >D"
ME: "SOB SOB SOB. :("

(It ended with me convincing her to draw Boma/hallucination!Brad, though, so I think it ended up okay for me. :Db Well, I also said I'd write it if she drew it, but if she doesn't, then I don't have to! Yay! \o/)

PART THREE:

COWORKER MH: "... why is there a unicorn stabbing a mime on your computer."
COWORKER JD: "Terra just has this burning hatred of mimes. They killed her dog."
ME: "It's true. :("
COWORKER MH: "Was that actually part of the design, or did you have to punch a hole in its chest yourself? You're a destructive little girl."
ME: "No, it's supposed to be able to--" [proceeds to fiddle with figurine, pulling the mime -- and the horn -- off the unicorn in the process] D:
COWORKER MH: "I KNEW IT."

THIS is what happens when people ENCOURAGE me. :|b
(I also realize I've been posting a lot these past few days. I ... guess I got more finished over the holiday than I thought? XD; But this is the last of them for now!)

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle -- Kurogane/girl!Fay [AU, assumes Fay has always been female]
4455 words
gisho was my enabler and moral support for this. IT'S ALL HIS FAULT if you like it; IT'S ALL MY FAULT if you don't. *g*
IN WHICH Kurogane finds out he's going to be a daddy. For real.
please let me know if you thought it was horrible or not? [grovel]

Belatedly, two notes:

1. Muko-iri was a common-law marriage custom practiced in ancient Japan, in which a man would visit a woman nightly until his parents died or she became pregnant, at which point he would move into her household, and eventually they would be considered married.

2. Koi (the fish, naturally) are considered a symbol of fertility.
