Natsumachi

2015-06-03T06:26:13Z

Yoshitsune:

Natsumachi (馬遅夏海) is a writer who is also a hermit and works at a library. Spent many years in fandom and still enjoys writing fanfiction sometimes, but is usually distracted by original characters. Only recently began contributing stories to S2B2. Is in it for the challenge of writing stories that are less grotesque and longer than their typical stuff. The inter-gen pairings look set to turn into a general tendency.

Rambles regularly about things on [http://yoshitsune.dreamwidth.org/ DW] and has a [http://noctambule.dreamwidth.org/ writing blog] there, too. Also appears on [http://natsumachi.tumblr.com/ tumblr]. [http://archiveofourown.org/users/natsumachi AO3] is used as a back-up and because content tags are excellent.

== Contributions ==

Natsumachi has written the following stories:

*[[Firefly Catching (蛍狩り)]] ([[issue 45]], Masquerade)
*[[My Hawk]] ([[issue 49]], Fathers' Day)
*[[Tiştên Negotî (Words Not Needed)]] ([[issue 48]], A.I.)

Rec Lists

2014-08-08T08:43:01Z

Yoshitsune: /* Open Lists */

Rec Lists are created by readers of Shousetsu Bang*Bang. They compile stories that have certain elements in common. They are entirely the product of individual curation and do not reflect official Shousetsu Bang*Bang categorization

Anyone can start a rec list, preferably with the prefix 'Rec:' (for easy categorization). Give a short description on this page of what the list contains, then put a more detailed explanation of parameters on the page itself. Be sure to mark whether you want this to be an 'open' list (i.e., you're getting the ball rolling but you want others to help out) or a 'closed' list (i.e., this is your opinion, top to bottom). Both kinds are welcome!

== Open Lists ==

These lists are free for anyone to edit. If you see a list that lacks a story/artwork/comic you know should be there, add it!

*[[Rec: Dragons]]: stories containing dragons
*[[Rec: Inter-gen]]: stories containing age-gap pairings.
*[[Rec: Military]]: stories with a central theme of soldiers, armies or war.
*[[Rec: Romcom]]: stories that are sweet, light and a bit humorous, too.
*[[Rec: School Stories]]: stories with a school setting.
*[[Rec: Suspense]]: stories with mystery and chills.
*[[Rec: Zombies]]: stories containing zombies

== Closed Lists ==

These lists have been created to reflect a single creative idea; they should only be edited by their creators.

*[[Rec: Morbid and Creepifying]]: horror recs
*[[Rec: Nice Guys Finish First]]: good guys win the day
*[[Rec: One-Hit Wonders]]: authors who only wrote one story (as of 2008)
*[[Rec: Song of the Travelling Daughter]]: road trip stories
*[[Rec: Stories Originally Containing Editor's Warnings for Elves]]: what it says on the label

Canaan Falls

2014-07-05T02:51:44Z

Yoshitsune:

Canaan Falls is a story written by [[Tsukizubon Saruko]] and illustrated by [[wredwrat]]. It ran in [[Issue 12]] at http://s2b2.livejournal.com/60769.html, and is mirrored at http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/canaan-falls/ and [http://archiveofourown.org/works/799845 AO3].

== Summary ==
<blockquote>"There's no such things as real haunted houses. Probably just somebody went in to smoke some grass or Do It one time and scared a cat or something, and told everybody about the scary ghost he saw." I laughed, dutifully, but also for real: it was a relief, to hear Dave dismiss the idea of real haunted houses with such authority. If there was ever going to be a real one, after all, it was the one out on Glentree Road.</blockquote>

Firefly Catching (蛍狩り)

2014-06-26T23:14:22Z

Yoshitsune:

''Firefly Catching (蛍狩り)'' is a story written by [[natsumachi]] (馬遅夏海) and illustrated by [[coffee_flowers]]. It ran in [[Issue 45]] and can be read at [http://s2b2.livejournal.com/261702.html LJ] and [http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/firefly-catching/ the S2B2 website]. Also available on [http://archiveofourown.org/works/1043109 AO3] with content tags.

== Summary ==
A historical fantasy romp about a festival night, running around in masks and having anonymous sex in the bushes.

<blockquote>"As a gimmick, many of the districts' entertainment houses ordered large amounts of fireflies to release in their gardens and party rooms. But since everyone was doing it, it had lost its charm. Even the low folk making their homes in a riverbed could enjoy the view of fireflies released near the K River. At night, during the start of the festival season, all mingled. Groups of children, yelling and running along the riverside through willows and cherries, chanted the firefly-hunting songs, though there was no sweet water in the capital. Surely it was also tiresome for the prostitute boys dressed up in pale greens and yellows for the occasion. There were even rumours of gold dust glowing on buttocks in shows of excess among patrons."</blockquote>

== Connections ==
Firefly Catching has no connecting stories published in S2B2, but it is part of the [http://noctambule.dreamwidth.org/tag/original:+t.a.o TAO 'verse] which is quite episodic and has no particular starting point (the writer realizes how confusing and frustrating that is[http://noctambule.dreamwidth.org/23098.html?thread=4154#cmt4154], but there's no solution yet). Akiku is one of the main characters of the 'verse and has one of the highest [http://noctambule.dreamwidth.org/tag/character:+akiku+hawatari character tag] counts.

Tiştên Negotî (Words Not Needed)

2014-06-26T23:13:11Z

Yoshitsune:

''Tiştên Negotî (Words Not Needed)'' is a story written by [[natsumachi]] (馬遅夏海) and illustrated by [[beili]]. It ran in [[Issue 48]] and can be read at [http://s2b2.livejournal.com/273067.html LJ] and [http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/tisten-negoti-words-not-needed/ the S2B2 website]. Also available on [http://archiveofourown.org/works/1519787 AO3] with content tags.

The title is in Kurmanci dialect of Kurdish, and more literally means "things unsaid (by you)".

== Summary ==
A young man pines for the man who has cared for him and been his rock since he was younger. Teasing, nostalgia, and phone sex. The setting is modern or near future, though not necessarily in a realistic contemporary world.

<blockquote>"Sohran wandered around the house while talking business with Ali over the phone, opened the kitchen cupboards, and glanced in at the pitiful contents of the fridge. He leaned against the kitchen sink and stared into the strip of garden warmed by the last of the afternoon sun, while imagining Ali in a night-lit private hospital room. He pushed off from the sink and returned down the main hallway, but passed by his own room, and into Ali's at the end of the hallway."</blockquote>

== Connections ==
''Tiştên Negotî'' is set before [[My Hawk]], which also features Sohran.

It's not particularly secret that the story has its roots in AU fanfiction [http://yoshitsune.dreamwidth.org/65741.html]. And fans of a certain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Suit_Gundam_00 giant robot anime] might notice the references.

My Hawk

2014-06-26T23:11:12Z

Yoshitsune:

''My Hawk'' is a story written by [[Natsumachi]] and illustrated by [[beili]]. It ran in [[Issue 49]] at http://s2b2.livejournal.com/277758.html, and is mirrored at [http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/my-hawk/ shousetsubangbang.com]. Also available on [http://archiveofourown.org/works/1852486 AO3] with content tags.

== Summary ==
Rostem is unexpectedly confronted by a young man claiming to be his son, whom he hasn't seen since he was a baby. 

<blockquote>"What's Blond Ali up to? Are you trying to run away? Is your ass going to bring me anything but trouble? He didn't say any of those things.
 
"Where are you staying?" Rostem asked.
 
"I booked at a serviced apartment, but I haven't checked in yet."
 
"You thought you'd still get in at this time? Forget it."
 
This boy had really been distracted from practical considerations, even from eating a meal. Which was why Rostem was sitting in a café in the middle of the night with this boy who called himself Sohran and looked irritated even while eating chicken pudding under his hospitality."</blockquote>
 

== Connections ==

Set after [[Tiştên Negotî (Words Not Needed)]], which also features Sohran as a main character.

== Author's Note ==

Whenever I get talking with a friend about incest BL and checking summaries there's some airing of unfulfilled cravings for lighter, fluffier incest BL. So on a whim I ran with the 'daddy issue' theme and tried to get on with the fluff. It went wonky for a while as I wanted to write a bunch of stuff, road trip and all the sex, and rushed through scenes until the word count was at an awkward 12k. I was distressed, but the editor(s?) guided me towards reason. So I downsized and just dug into the comfort and fluff between father and son at their early stage.

Anyway, the title is a not-even-subtle rip-off of "Memed, My Hawk" (by Yaşar Kemal), which has the original title "İnce Memed", i.e. Slim Memed (you see where I'm going with this, though no it's not thinly veiled fanfic). Originally "My Hawk" was just the working title, but I got attached to it. Also I was thinking quite a bit about bird-related things during planning. Like the proverb that seems to reassure parents that their grown children won't stay away for ever: "Birds fly away, but they come back to their nests." And the story in ''1001 Nights'' about King Sindbad and his falcon.

Around that time I also got into Taha Muhammad Ali's poetry, which has quite a lot of bird imagery as well, and was pinging really hard with Rostem's youthful poetic side. I had the line "During the winter, strange birds seeking refuge arrive... and also birds of prey" written up where I often read it. But it continues 
"and some that are sad and frail 
and hold you spellbound in their goodness 
gathering pebbles and grain, 
and trembling in the tremendous cold 
and out of a sense of profound strangeness--" (from ''The Fourth Qasida'')

That my story doesn't actually mention birds at all is... awkward.

I was having a little laugh with the working-name Rostem (Rostam), but then I got attached to that as well. Rather than some less obviously father/son issues-related name. Despite the names though this is definitely not a modern take on that Shahnama episode. Let's be real, Rostem isn't as badass as Papa Pehliva, and Sohran has nothing on Sohrab's sass. Also no tragic ending! But tiny bits of the mythology did come through I guess.

This Side of Saturn

2014-06-23T09:49:06Z

Yoshitsune:

This Side of Saturn is a story written by [[Shinju Yuri]] and illustrated by [[amei]]. It ran in [[Issue 10]] at http://s2b2.livejournal.com/42586.html, and is mirrored at http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/this-side-of-saturn/.

When this story originally ran, there was an animated video at the start; that video is no longer online. The cover illustration for [[Issue 10]] contains the characters from this story.

== Summary ==
<blockquote>"In his dream Ken was awake and lying in their bedroom. It must have been one of his good days because he had his tablet on his lap and was sitting up, working on something. Naoki slipped onto the bed and kissed his temple. The skin above Ken's skull seemed infinitely frail and precious. "Hi," he said. Ken leaned against him, winced, and shifted a little. Naoki slid his arm around Ken's shoulders. Ken hadn't been eating again, Naoki realized. The medicines weren't working like they should have. Naoki closed his eyes hard and promised himself he'd call the doctor in the morning. The medicines were working less and less now, in a slow downhill slope. At Ken's last appointment the doctor had said 'palliative measures' and Ken had gone very quiet. It wasn't fair, Naoki thought helplessly. It wasn't fair. Ken was still so young. He was still so young. They should have had a long time together."</blockquote>

== Summary ==
<blockquote>"Welcome to Sex Education. Now, if you're expecting a class where you learn to put a condom on a banana and look at pictures of various sexually transmitted diseases in an attempt to scare you out of ever touching yourself for the rest of your life, you're in the wrong room. If you're expecting a class extolling the virtue of waiting until you've committed your life or until you can file for divorce to someone before finding out that you're incompatible, you're in the wrong class. If you're expecting a class that will tell you nothing at all about the topic you're studying and will expect you to have utterly no practical experience with it the rest of your life, you're in the wrong class. If you have issue with everyone else in this class seeing your naked body contorted in pleasure, you're in the wrong class. If you're in the wrong class, leave now."</blockquote>

Mister Seagull Gives No Fucks

2014-05-17T21:22:15Z

Yoshitsune:

''Mister Seagull Gives No Fucks'' is a story written by [[Roumonte Emi]] and illustrated by [[erli]]. It ran in [[Issue 32]] at http://s2b2.livejournal.com/185912.html, and is mirrored at http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/mister-seagull-gives-no-fucks/.

== Summary ==
<blockquote>Way back when I was a freshman in high school, I had this math teacher named Mr. Siegal. Mr. Siegal was a hardass. You hear stories about hardass teachers sometimes, the ones that push their students hard and take no shit and never let up and turn out to be the best, most inspiring teachers a guy could ever have--well, that wasn't the kind of hardass that Mr. Siegal was. Mr. Siegal was a hardass because he wanted everybody else to be just as miserable as he was. Later on I found out that he'd burned out on his PhD program and had to grab the first job that came along that he was qualified for, but all I knew back then was that he hated everything, including his job and us. We didn't like him much, either.</blockquote>

== Summary ==
<blockquote>"What are you doing?" Keitaro was already calling, as he broke into a jog across the parking lot, his furrowed brow sharpening into a full-fledged scowl. "Stop that! Let him go!"
 
At the sound of an adult's voice the boys broke apart, milling away from the one at the center of the cluster in an effort to look casual. It was Nakamura, he saw, and supposed he should have known; the small boy had a purpled black eye, a trickle of blood running from his lip, and a dazed expression, and was groping vaguely for the pair of glasses lying on the asphalt not far from his hand. Keitaro strode into the semi-circle of teenagers and scooped them up, handing them to Nakamura and helping him to his feet.</blockquote>

== Summary ==
<blockquote>Their parents had given them up to the temple together, as soon as they were both old enough to wean from their mother's breast. It was the first and only home either of them had ever known. Kebineh's earliest, foggiest memory was an image of the sky pitching forward and toppling away, as his back struck the paving-stones of the steps inside from the courtyard; he remembered wailing, and then the face of a priest looming into his vision, all stretched around a round concerned O of a mouth. He had been lucky, he had been admonished many times since, long after he could no longer remember why he'd thought it was a good idea to run up the steps as fast as his chubby toddler's legs could go. Lucky, to have come away with only bruises and a bump on the head. Of course, what the priests really meant (Regidhu had whispered, mischievously, in their bed in the dark) was that ''they'' had been lucky. He was their highest duty, after all, not the other way around.</blockquote>

== Summary ==
<blockquote>"Rental," was the first thing Col managed to gasp when he finally separated their mouths, wheezing into Gary's, "rental, rental, god damn you, ''rental''."
 
The message sunk in eventually, and Gary paused, actually easing up a blessed little bit on where he'd been grinding Col's back into the elaborate backstage scaffolding. "...Wait, it is? ''Seriously''?" He drew back a few more inches, to where he could run a critical eye down the front of Col's tux. ...Lingering in certain places more than others, and Col tried and failed not to blush. He probably looked like he'd stuffed one of the stupid statuettes down his pants. "Pardon me, but you know, I'm an old man, I forget things sometimes, maybe you can remind me how much it was that ''Thanksgiving at the Reynolds' '' grossed on its first weekend. Something like 40 million, wasn't it?"</blockquote>

== Summary ==
<blockquote>Really, it was the unicorn's fault.
 
"According to the texts," Edmund said, pushing his glasses up in a way that Taylor always found appealing, "opening the Door of Khefra-Kel requires a unicorn hair."
 
"And where am I supposed to get one of those?" Taylor asked. "Like, my mom goes to Costco once a month, and they are totally lacking in industrial sized jars of unicorn hair." He pursed his lips a little and thought about it. "Or if that doesn't work, like, Diagon Alley? You're British, I'm sure you could get us in there."
 
Edmund closed his eyes and took a little breath, which was one of Taylor's favorite things to make him do. "I assure you, once again, that Harry Potter is entirely fictional, no matter what I have unintentionally led you to believe."</blockquote>

== Summary ==
<blockquote>Chef Kassa didn't seem like a crier, but Edward did see a tell-tale rapid flutter of eyelashes when he saw his dessert, his poor downfall of a dessert, revealed when he lifted the cloche. Edward knew the cameras were sucking up every little ounce of emotion on his face. The poor kid got himself together quickly enough with a thick breath that made his nostrils flare, and he shook the hand of Chef Patrice, the winner.
 
"Thank you, this was an honor," he said, only a little flutter in his voice, and shook the hands of each of the judges. He took Edward's last; his hand was warm and a little damp with nerves, and Edward gave his long fingers a solid squeeze. He managed to smile at him before walking off set, the poor kid, the poor cute kid. Sometimes it felt good to deliver the news, but damn if this time he didn't feel personally guilty. He'd been rooting for him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Um, sir? Excuse me, is that 'The Detective's Legs' by Tamura Hiroshi?"
 
The boy standing in front of Tamura is pale and skinny, with wispy red-blonde hair. He wears the uniform of a nearby high school, with the top button of his shirt undone. His face is vaguely feminine, but not so much as to be made fun of by other boys; the sort of face teenage girls are drawn to. He is looking at the book in Tamura's hands with a barely disguised covetousness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Charles cleared his throat. "You're the man from the service?"
 
The piano tuner smiled. "My name's Jason," he said. "Mr. Anderson?"
 
"Charles will be sufficient," he said. "Come in." Adrian had retired, and he'd found himself struggling through the yellow pages, looking for a service that seemed adequate. His piano was so precious to him-- the last reminder of the old days he'd chosen to keep-- and Adrian had been careful and meticulous; it had been a pleasure to have him in the apartment, and a pleasure to play for him when the work was done. He hoped Jason would at least be adequate.</blockquote>

An uncertain noise startles Leo out of his contemplation of the graffiti on the troll's wrist. A voice, sort of--half breath and half pained-sounding low moan.
 
Or not pained. Leo's shoulders tighten up again as he wonders whether to investigate and risk walking in on people fucking behind the troll's head. But who the hell has sex on the dusty Fremont Troll at eight o'clock in the morning? It sounds totally unappealing to him--though more for the risk of dust in all his crevasses than the hour or the location.</blockquote>

For the most part, it was true: Eli could fight men who had twice his muscle mass, lift cars without much effort, and run thirteen miles in thirty minutes. But surviving a fall from a forty story building? Somehow, he didn't think any amount of spinal enhancements could prevent him from becoming a pile of broken bones on impact."</blockquote>

And not entirely human: it was common enough knowledge, as such "knowledge" goes, that his mother was a fairy. Everyone knew, as well, that he'd sucked off this one boy two years older than him in lunch break once. He wasn't much liked, but he was just strong enough and strange enough not to be picked on by anyone with sense."</blockquote>

It made it seem more humane, somehow - the fact they were keeping something basically indistinguishable from a human holed up in a tin can to run their air conditioning. Clever, nimble fingers flashing, he typed a few lines into the console. After a moment, the cacophony outside quieted down. One of the folks on shift down below whooped in gratitude. Blake leaned back. "It's time we had a little talk, Cyrus."

Tiştên Negotî (Words Not Needed)

2014-05-07T09:33:33Z

Yoshitsune:

''Tiştên Negotî (Words Not Needed)'' is a story written by [[natsumachi]] (馬遅夏海) and illustrated by [[beili]]. It ran in [[Issue 48]] and can be read at [http://s2b2.livejournal.com/273067.html LJ] and [http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/tisten-negoti-words-not-needed/ the S2B2 website].

The title is in Kurmanci dialect of Kurdish, and more literally means "things unsaid (by you)".

== Summary ==
A young man pines for the man who has cared for him and been his rock since he was younger. Teasing, nostalgia, and phone sex. The setting is modern or near future, though not necessarily in a realistic contemporary world.

<blockquote>"Sohran wandered around the house while talking business with Ali over the phone, opened the kitchen cupboards, and glanced in at the pitiful contents of the fridge. He leaned against the kitchen sink and stared into the strip of garden warmed by the last of the afternoon sun, while imagining Ali in a night-lit private hospital room. He pushed off from the sink and returned down the main hallway, but passed by his own room, and into Ali's at the end of the hallway."</blockquote>

== Connections ==
''Tiştên Negotî'' has no connecting stories published in S2B2.

It's not particularly secret that the story has its roots in AU fanfiction [http://yoshitsune.dreamwidth.org/65741.html]. And fans of a certain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Suit_Gundam_00 giant robot anime] might notice the references.

Natsumachi

2014-05-07T08:47:24Z

Yoshitsune:

Natsumachi (馬遅夏海) is a writer who is also a hermit and works at a library. Spent many years in fandom and still enjoys writing fanfiction sometimes, but is usually distracted by original characters. Only recently began contributing stories to S2B2. Is in it for the challenge of writing stories that are less grotesque and longer than their typical stuff. The inter-gen pairings look set to turn into a general tendency.

== Summary ==
<blockquote>"Joe filed into the security line, along with what seemed like half the city. The airport speakers crackled with announcements every minute or so, and the line didn't seem to be moving an inch.
 
At least he'd listened to his agent and turned up early.
 
He wondered what Alexei would make of this situation. Did vampires need to take airplanes? Alexei could fly, but it hardly seemed a practical method for cross-country travel. No, Alexei would need to take a plane, just like any human."</blockquote>

Yoshitsune:

''Smug the Magic Dragon'' is a story written by [[Domashita Romero]] (地下ロメロ). It ran in [[Issue 45]] and can be read on [http://s2b2.livejournal.com/261132.html LJ], and is mirrored at [http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/smug-the-magic-dragon/ http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/smug-the-magic-dragon/].

== Summary ==
<blockquote>"It was such a rotten cliche, to be smitten with the cute boy behind the counter at the coffee shop, but, well, cliches had to start somewhere. At least in Adam's defense, he had only been caught in deep smit for the three minutes he'd been waiting in line. The boy in question had soft eyes and long lashes and a scruffy chin and smirky lips and Adam was just fine with waiting as long as possible while he got practice at staring while pretending not to stare.
 
When it was Adam's time to come up to the counter, though, he saw the barista's nametag read 'Smug.' Well, at least he was properly labeled."</blockquote>
