More extraordinary brane powers

[louiselux]

Thanks for all the answers to the special powers poll. My favourites:

Sanzo:
If he had telekinesis, he'd never let anyone get within 50 metres of him.
Pissed off!Medium.
Slight precognition and slight telepathy, the rest is all attitude

Hakkai:
Psychometry, healing and life-force vampirism
Only acts like he's reading your mind.
Absolute direction sense like an internal GPS - this made me think of Mildmay!

Goku
Spidey-sense
Telekenesis or just plain superstrength. Maybe he's the Incredible Hulk?

Gojyo
The ability to give someone an orgasm just by thinking about it.
Charm / presence / awe-inducing magnetism. Or pyrokinesis.
Empathic / psychometry - quite a few people suggested empath for Gojyo.

*mulls it over*

Also, random thought of the day (last night): I was wondering if Koumyou kept Ukoku and Kouryuu apart on purpose. Kouryuu only has one memory od Ukoku, but it's clear Ukoku visited Koumyou sometimes - or even regularly? I really want to read more stories about Nii.

I assumed that it was just because Ukoku always seems to turn up at night, long past ickle!Kouryuu's bedtime.

And now I have an image of Koumyou tucking up Kouryuu just after the six o'clock news with a bath and a bedtime story.

Oh dear. *falls over from cute!overload*

Good grief. What sort of stories would they be? Kouryuu was quite grumpy, even as a child; I can see him correcting Koumyou if he got anything "wrong"!

[scribblemoose]

Oh yes. Woe betide poor Koumyou if he didn't do all the voices right!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

That is just so adorable. He'd point out that Koumyou gave it a different ending last time, as well, which Koumyou would've totally forgotten.

*sporfles*

Like Vimes reading "Where's My Cow?" to Young Sam?

I don't think Kouryuu would have much patience with many story characters. Two of the little pigs were clearly too stupid for words.

And even cold porridge is good with mayonaisse on.

I have so much love for 'Where's My Cow', incidentally. ♥

Koumyou tucked the little boy snug into bed, kissed his forehead and whispered, "Goodnight, Kouryou."

As the priest was turning to leave, ickle!Kouryou tugged on his sleeve. "Tell me a story."

Koumyou smiled down at the boy. "Well, just a short one." He sat on the edge of the bed and began to tell the story of the Three Little Pigs. "...and then the first little pig built his house out of straw and..."

"Master. Straw? What good is straw? It doesn't hold heat very well and..." Kouryou's brow was furrowed and his voice serious. For a five year old, he put a lot of thought into things.

Koumyou smiled patiently. "It's just a fairly tale, Kouryou. So the second little pig built his house out of sticks and..."

Kouryou was skeptical "Sticks? Like kindling sticks? The kind to start a fire with? Why would anyone build a house with something so fragile?"

Koumyou was looking a bit frazzled. "Well, if you'll let me get to the end you'll see that there's a lesson..."

Kouryou was clearly not buying into the whole idea of a house of sticks or straw. His little arms were folded across his chest and he had a look of determination on his face. Koumyou had seen that face before and knew there wasn't much point going on.

Koumyou smoothed back a lock of blond hair. "Ok, Kouryou, what kind of story would you like for me to tell you?"

Kouryou pulled the covers up close to his face, and whispered, "Tell me how you found me." He pulled the covers up higher, as if hiding in embarrassment.

Koumyou smiled. It was his favorite story too. "Once upon a time, a Sanzo priest was walking along the river's edge...."

~ bows humbly ~

Thank you. XD

[trensaddiction.livejournal.com]

Aww. Somehow my brain breaks trying to imagine ickle!Sanzo, but it's still such a darling image. :)

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

"Tell me how you found me."

Aww, yeah. That is what he'd want to know. Lovely.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Awwww.

[smillaraaq.livejournal.com]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

*ded from kyoot*

[scribblemoose]

That's just lovely. ^_^

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Dude, that's adorable.

There is that one time where Koryuu is chiding Koumyou for staying up too late, and Koumyou's all, "yes, yes, good night," and then he turns to Ukoku, like Ukoku's just been waiting there all this time.

[cicer.livejournal.com]

That bit cracks me up, because it always makes me think of parents attempting to hurry the little ones off to bed so they can get busy. Which, given the situation, is too funny for words.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

You know, that never occurred to me but now it has I don't think I'll be able to read it a different way ever again.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

So appropriate!

[cicer.livejournal.com]

That is so cute it is absolutely painful.
