They say that everyone has a dark side. I guess 'they' would say that my dark side is irrationally suicidal and paranoid. Perhaps 'they' would even go into more detail about my faults, because much of it is in my medical records, but they always call the bad things 'the dark side'.
It's colorism, right? If I say that my mania, generosity, and explosiveness are actually the dark side because they made me expose myself to others and thus, eventually, show them the other, less pleasant behaviors, 'they' would tell me I was playing at semantics.
Of course. Semantics. Just ask any of my ex-girlfriends about me and semantics....
Ben stared in concern and confusion as the limp body of his twin tumbled into him, moaning his name. Ben had caught him, before he fell any further, under his arms. Gwen stared at the cloud of mist, only being able to see slight wisps of silhouettes.
"Ben?! What happened! Are you ok!?" She called out, almost pleading that the collapsed shadow wasn't her beloved cousin. The reply that came startled her.
"Gwen help! Something's wrong with Albedo!" the brunette called through the thick fog. The red eyed boy was silent, all except his labored breathing. To Ben's concern it almost seemed as if the silver haired boy melted into hero's hold on h...

War and Wings: Chapter 14--Partner
The basement.That was the name given to the lowest and largest level of the Iacon Clinic and Triage Facility.To many, it was a name that underscored the sometimes servile nature of the caste system, a relegation of untold numbers to spark-numbing tasks of banal importance. A consideration shared by those of the higher castes, of course.To others, it was a symbol of punishment for sins against the established order or of transgressions for acting above and beyond one's station.But, despite the surrounding stigma, the actual structure of "the basement" was far from foreboding.At least as far as Ratchet's sensibilities were concerned.From th...

The Trouble With Sherlock Part 3
I woke up in the morning feeling stifled and hot. Raising my head a bit, I saw that not only was the handkerchief resting upon me, but so was Sherlock's hand. Pushing on his closest finger I attempted to move out from under it, but my motion only caused him to hold onto me more. "Sherlock," I complained quietly to myself, "must you always put me in these situations?"Eventually, despite his involuntary actions working against me, I managed to free myself from the grip of his long fingers. I sat up higher on the pillow, catching my breath and looking down at Sherlock's hand, which was now curled around my blanket. With a sigh of resignation ...

No Trade Backs - Chapter 1
Sighing, Carly sat on the bleachers and watched the rest of her gym class swarm all over the field. The energy on the field was palpable. With each dribble and every kick Carly dodged back and forth, weaving in and out from her seat, hoping to still feel that energy all the way from the stands. Jen had the ball, she was dribbling down the field with only one man to beat. Could she get around him? She could! Jen had faked him out and was streaking towards the goal. One kick: score! The entire team mobbed Jen as she fell to her knees in triumph, while up in the stands Carly cheered, forgotten and alone.
Carly had gone back to school a little...

But Snape is just nasty, right? Part 7 a consideration of the evidence for Our Hero being exceptionally unpleasant AS A GROWN MAN: Miscellaneous specific incidents in which Snape appears to behave badly: When Snape takes points off the Trio for taking a library book ( Quidditch Through the Ages ) outside, you certainly get the impression he's invented that rule. But he'd just been bitten by Fluffy, and was limping noticeably, which suggests that he was in a lot of pain, and he does tend to deal with stress by giving it to other people. In any case, the first page of the published version of Quidditch Through the Ages warns of awf...

Ayumi Nara? Why would you want to spend time with her?” you hissed.“Well, it’s better than spending time with you,” he said harshly.You were taken aback by his biting comment and hot tears started to enter your eyes. “Of course.

Though she would wake the next morning with no memory of it, that night’s dreams were of Belle on all fours, which brought a relief to her udder, going through a pasture, talking to other cows that could talk back until meeting a bull that didn’t talk back. What he did do was freeze all the will in Belle’s body to move while he came around behind her and, with a leap, she felt his weight on her lower back. ‘I’m fucked,’ she thought, moving her tail aside and giving in as the dull sensation of being penetrated in a dream caused her real cunt to get wet and leak down her thighs. Over and over and over, the bull fucked her but she was nev...
