Just life, Saiyuki recs.

Still no copy of Saiyuki Reload 2: Blackwells, Reading I am looking at you. I went in to ask, and they said their supplier, based in Torquay, is always about two volumes behind with everything. Well, what fucking use is that to anyone?

Calm. Going back to work wasn't as dreadful as I imagined. It wasn't even slightly dreadful, but I have always been a great imaginer of dreadfulness that never comes to pass and I don't ever expect to change. Chamomile tea this morning helped. I organised my team in the morning and in the afternoon I got distracted by thinking about porn, so everything was normal.

I've read some very nice stuff recently:

Café Philosophique by hydr0phobia - a slanted look at Gojyo and Hakkai. Stale tea and teapots and young love.

Distant Relations by rheasilvia - Gojyo meets another kappa. Mmmm, possessive Hakkai.

Oh, dear. You too? That's exactly what I was like yesterday when I went back to work after over a week off. Dreaded it for days, felt panicky that morning, and lo, everything was completely fine. *facepalms* Oi.

Aww, I'm glad it was. It always seems silly to worry afterwards, but at the time it's hard not to.

I got my copy of Reload 2 from United Publications before Christmas. I'd recommend them!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks for that - I'll check them out.

I've found them consistently speedier than the shops, and frequently cheaper, too. Also v. friendly folks. :)

I have the translated scans of the first 4 volumes of Saiyuki Reload, if you are interested.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks! I have the scans already (thanks for those doujishi btw, they're really lovely:)

I was really holding out for the Tokyopop translation, which I now have.

Yay! Very glad to hear it. :) And Saiyuki Reload 2 is jinxed, I think. I finally gave up and ordered it online and what did I see in the bookstore today when I went to get more Count D? Yeah. Bastards.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Yay, Count D. It's so adorable.

I have volume 2 now - I went in today and picked it up. It's entirely lickable, especially when Gojyo refers to the doppelgangers as hot studs!

There really, really needs to be doppleganger porn fic now. Come on, everyone's thinkin' it, I'm just saying it...

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

You're so right. It does inspire thoughts of Gojyo/Gojyo, with Hakkai watching.

...why has this not been written yet? There is a void in the world because it doesn't exist! I may cry!

Ha, victory! I *knew* I was remembering right: andmydog wrote it:
