Summary: Herrie de Caut has a stroke of luck near the end of his first voyage as captain. The nature of the luck is all a matter of viewpoint.
Notes: Written for absolute_negation as my contribution to the sixth annual 7th Night Saiyuki Alternative Universe Gift!fic exchange. The prompt was "Suspiciously serene ship's captain meets suspiciously well-dressed pirate." That got me thinking about the corsairs as presented in the works of historical fiction author Dorothy Dunnett. Beta by smillaraaq, sine qua non.

Notes: For calliope85, who wanted "the obsession with the dynamics of friendship, and how closely they shade into love" and said " I'd be overjoyed if you addressed the difficulties of equal free males engaging in a sexual relationship, but if you'd rather side-step and write blanketfic that'd be lovely too." I'm hoping I did a bit of both. Beta by smillaraaq and carmarthen

I most recently saw this at nouvellebrielle's, although I know I've seen it other places as well. This was a real pain - sort of like doing a crossword puzzle and writing drabbles at the same time:

My characters were:

I'll freely admit that I gave up on my first run. Then I used random numbers to re-sort the same list and got some really great crack. Can anybody guess which prompt+characters made me squee most?
Title: Fairy Tale
Author: opalmatrix
Warnings: swearing and m/m foreplay
Rating: Mild R at the very end
Pairing(s): Gojyo/Hakkai
Spoilers: a little of Hakkai's history
Notes: This was inspired by saiyuki_time prompt #9: Magic, but the previous thing I'd written for saiyuki_time was also 585 fluff, so I decided to do something else for the prompt. Then smillaraaq asked me very nicely to go ahead and write this anyway, so I did. I feel that it's pretty similar to my earlier story Night Watch, but I had fun writing it, so I hope that at least a few people will have fun reading it! Not too surprisingly, smillaraaq did the beta. Will be crossposted a couple of places.
Summary: How the hell did Gojyo know that Hakkai needed him, back home? Must be ... magic.
( The thought came to Gojyo as he sat at the card table ... . )

Notes: Written for saiyuki_time. Challenge #5: Addiction. Time allowed: 30 min. I wrote this on Wednesday night, right after the challenge for the week was posted ... not good. I ran overtime (about 40 min.) and when I read through it, I could swear I saw bits of other people's fics in it, although I'm not sure whose. It's not freaking me out as much now, 3 days later, so I'm posting it, but if you see something you recognize, please forgive, and I'll try to do better next time.
Summary: It's early in their relationship, Gojyo is out for the evening, and Hakkai is having ... issues.
