Springkink fantasies and some links

[louiselux]

I really need to clean out the cupboard where I keep my shoes, scarves, hats, coats and umbrellas. This morning I noticed that the spiders have started leaving their woodlice offerings for us there. At least they've stopped attaching them to the walls.

Anyway, the prompts for the October round of springkink are up and flaunting themselves at me. *shakes pathetic fist*

I'm going to make a list here of the ones that caught my eye, just so I can fantasise about writing them. Maybe it will be enough and I won't be forced to actually write them. I won't actually be claiming any of these. Probably.

Oct 3 - Saiyuki, Hakkai/Gojyo: AU - The wild, wild West
So tempting, except hibem has already done it so well. But I did just happen to find the Penguin Book of the Wild West in Oxfam books recently. Arg.

Oct 5 - Saiyuki, Hakkai/Gojyo: Oral sex - 'Victorian AU'
Ahaha, is someone doing this to me on purpose?

Oct 13 - Saiyuki, Hakkai/Gojyo: AU, futuristic, technophilic themes - the halfbreed really isn't human.
Oh dear god I love this one to bits. It would be beautiful - poor android Gojyo falling in love with human Hakkai. Nngghh.

Oct 17 - Saiyuki, any/all: AU - 1970s
Because Gojyo needs to wear hot pants & rollerskates and deliver glasses of champange on tiny silver trays to rich record executives! Er. Or a retelling of The Graduate? Or perhaps they're all living in a women's lib squat and chaining themselves to politicians.

Oct 24 - Saiyuki, Gojyo: Time travel - "Gojyo ends up in either the 20th or the 21st century and must make a place for himself."
This one attracts me a lot, mostly because of thinking about hot to extrapolate Minekura's Chinese Saiyuki-verse to now. But actually that might be easy enough seeing as how her world building is pretty sketchy. But, would the language be the same? And what job would Gojyo do? Because his transferable skills mostly consist of killing people or playing cards. Or looking after the mentally unstable. And what would he do without the others? Oh, it's starting to be depressing. On the other hand, humans and youkai might well have sorted out their differences by then. eta: Gojyo the one-man A team.

Doooooo eeeeeet. Write them aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll.

Have finished handbook! Really and truly! Am v. excited, also have misplaced pronouns.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha. No, I have a better idea: you write them all!

Hoorah the handbook of doom is finished. It's worth losing your pronouns over.

Oct 17 - Saiyuki, any/all: AU - 1970s

ZOMG, it'd be a supernatural version of From Eroica With Love!

(I once tried to describe Sanzo to a friend as "He's like a blond, Buddhist priest version of Klaus...but possibly even CRANKIER.")

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

*reels for a moment with the beauty of the concept*

Hakkai and Gojyo could be flamboyant international art and jewel thieves, and Sanzo could be forced to work with them, along with his far too excitable junior partner Goku. It writes itself!

Oh, and he is definitely crankier than Klaus.

Ahaha, is someone doing this to me on purpose?

Erm - Yes?

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Omg you fiend!!

*peers at flist*

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

What, none of the Gaiden ones? *wobbles lower lip*

Although Gojyo *always* needs to wear hotpants (ironed & starched red ones or otherwise!). He'd make a beautiful Barbarella (this could go for the 1970s prompt or the futuristic one...).

Then again, a Wild West one could crossover with Butch & Sandance. Mmmmmm :)

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Ha! I cut about three Gaiden ones off that list, being my ruthless disciplined self. Uh huh.

Barbarella! *flails* That's brilliant! And Sanzo can be the blind angel, except really bad tempered.

ironed & starched red ones

Heeeee!

[pandarus.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link to the Guardian article.

...Could you clarify the reason for the acid, for the hard of thinking among us?

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Acid because despite the jolly tone there are unpalatable truths, and his experiences of racism and the suspicions heaped on him when travelling, because of his skin colour.

[the_rck]

The prompt for Gojyou and time travel, combined with your comments on it, now has me seeing him with Weiss somewhere along the line. Or possibly with Schwarz...

And that idea tempts me. But I'm decidedly not taking on any more writing projects until I have chapter 18 of "Rheotaxis" done or Yuletide, whichever comes first.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

He could do that, and Weiss could reject him as being too cheerful!

[hungry-worm.livejournal.com]

*cough* You could always write one of them later, I doubt anyone would complain about having an extra story. *shifty eyes*

[hungry-worm.livejournal.com]

And when I say one, I mean them all. *whistles innocently*

Oct 13 - Saiyuki, Hakkai/Gojyo: AU, futuristic, technophilic themes - the halfbreed really isn't human.
Oh dear god I love this one to bits. It would be beautiful - poor android Gojyo falling in love with human Hakkai. Nngghh.

I had to drop out of springkink last time but this was one of the ones I was writing - and was the one I got closest to finishing and being happy with. Erm. Maybe one day I'll work on it again, because I do have about 2000 words of it.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Oh, excellent. :D I'd love to see it someday.

[saiyuki-ikkou-1.livejournal.com]

Oh... yes please write them all yes please. But especially:

Oct 5 - Saiyuki, Hakkai/Gojyo: Oral sex - 'Victorian AU'
Ahaha, is someone doing this to me on purpose?

Oct 13 - Saiyuki, Hakkai/Gojyo: AU, futuristic, technophilic themes - the halfbreed really isn't human.

Dooooo ittt. I would *love* to see it.

There's a book I absolutely loved back in the day by Tanith Lee, called the _Silver Metal Lover_, that is about this sort of relationship. So very romantic, and it has the whole doomed love thing going on too, which I am utterly unable to resist. (Why *yes*, I *am* a total sap, why do you ask? :))

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

It's an irresistible thing, mostly I think because of all the questions about androids and exploring how they might feel and how they fit into human life. And of course it could mirror canon Gojyo's lack of place in his society-- at least until it changes drastically.

[indelicateink]

Oh oh oh oh oh. Stories that may never be! *flails* These all sound incredibly wonderfully brain-melting.

Oct 5 - Saiyuki, Hakkai/Gojyo: Oral sex - 'Victorian AU'
"Ahaha, is someone doing this to me on purpose?"

Guh. Just guh. (With a side of nrgh!)

Oct 13 - Saiyuki, Hakkai/Gojyo: AU, futuristic, technophilic themes - the halfbreed really isn't human.
"Oh dear god I love this one to bits. It would be beautiful - poor android Gojyo falling in love with human Hakkai. Nngghh."

Woeeee! *pines* ♥!!

Oct 17 - Saiyuki, any/all: AU - 1970s
"Because Gojyo needs to wear hot pants & rollerskates and deliver glasses of champange on tiny silver trays to rich record executives!"

Good lord. I have five more hours of work to go and my brain just went home for the day. XD I have to fanart your maybe-someday-fic as soon as possible. XD Eeeeeee. Silver lamé hot pants?

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Omg if you drew rollerboots Gojyo I would probably die from sheer joy!! That would just be so amazing.

Silver lamé hot pants?

It's like you're gazing into my innermost thoughts! Silver lame hotpants and stripy kneesocks and white rollerboots. Oh, and a pair of those big heart-shaped shades!

[kinsugi.livejournal.com]

Of course you must all write your always delightful kinky fantasies! If you don't do so, they will remain unwritten, and that would be a significant tragedy.

And thanks for linking to the excellent passport article.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

*paws the stories*

[vom-marlowe.livejournal.com]

Oooooooooh, those're some lovely prompts.

I checked but woe! There seemed to be a lack of Yoji/Aya. Hmmm.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Thrice woe!! We'll just have to come up with our own kinky prompts for you.

[cicer.livejournal.com]

...Oh god. Did you have to post these? I've beens studiously avoiding the whole springkink thing because I just don't have the time to do one, but of course all these prompts fascinated me and I had to go take a look at the rest of the list. *whimpers* I want the android!Gojyo one so bad omg. Someone write that so I don't have to! And the time travel one is fascinating. Oh, and the Petshop of Horrors/Saiyuki crossover. And...pretty much all the Saiyuki ones, really. Oh dear, I'm in trouble.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Sry, I know it was very bad of me, but I couldn't help it. :D

*goes back to look for the Petshop of Horrors/Saiyuki crossover*

[emungere.livejournal.com]

No, you must resist! Um. Yeah, resist...

Because Gojyo needs to wear hot pants & rollerskates and deliver glasses of champange on tiny silver trays to rich record executives!

...omgyespleasepleaseplease?

Eyes won't stay open, must read about vikings in the morning, but under a pub! Awesomeeee.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Yay, you are baaack.

I will resist. I am strong, fear my willpower!

[shei.livejournal.com]

I always think about Saiyuki and time travel and how it'd work out. I personally always picture Goku still being around centuries from now.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Me too, and it makes me feel kind of sad that he would be so old and potentially lonely, not having found the others again. I do wonder if somehow Goku can be made human, so when the others die he can carry on being reincarnated with them.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

...oh God I missed one of those. ::adds to list, looks at clock::

It's a good thing more than one person can claim these, really.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Aha, I see you were lured in by the 70s AU. Honestly, I can't wait!!

[chomiji]

>> poor android Gojyo falling in love with human Hakkai. <<

I would so much love to see what you did with that!
