Don't panic

[petronia]

I proceed to demonstrate what I mean by Draco/Fuji, okay?


#23: Candy

Cagnet - CANDY KISS

Despite his best efforts, Draco failed at hoarding and ran out of chocolate frogs halfway through November. The point must have come across as the apogee of his bitter litany, because Fuji tilted his head gravely and said, "I'll show you a place where you can buy Pocky."

"I don't want Muggle chocolate," said Draco. The retort was all the more delectable to deliver because it was both childish and utterly untrue. Fuji only smiled.

"Actually it's a type of creme biscuit," he said.

*

Later Fuji would say: each stick of Pocky constitutes a kiss in potentia. See, you hold the pretzel end between your teeth, lips pressed demurely closed, casual like a cigarette. Don't look as if you know what you're doing. Stare out the window of the café if you can manage it. For fish to bite the bait must appear natural, unconscious. Tempting to just lean across the table--

*

Draco stared at the waist-high shelf running the length of the cramped Chinatown shop: chocolate, dark chocolate, mousse chocolate, chocolate with orange, milk, strawberry with or without bits in, coconut, banana, almond crunch, berry, pumpkin, butterscotch pudding...

"I like Royale Tea," Fuji said. "It's Earl Grey. Tastes just like the real thing."

"Earl Grey? You mean tea? Why would you eat a creme biscuit that tasted like tea? Why not take a cup of tea with the biscuit?"

"Because a cup of tea is the real thing. It doesn't have to taste like it."

Draco picked up one of the boxes and turned it over in his hand. It had a picture of a luscious strawberry-topped brownie on the front: just like a decoration cake on a stick, the scrap of English caption advertised.

A decoration cake?

"I knew a boy who liked strawberry Pocky," said Fuji. "He was a tennis player." He paused. "Probably still is," he added.

Draco chose the Gâteau Mont-Blanc flavour.



......Okay, so maybe I should just sign up for it.

DO IT! DOOOO IT~!

Oh, teh fuck, and I thought Karen Mok's song was an original. Should've known better, I mean, Cantopop. >_>

Stop destroying my beliefs, ok.

Seriously now, can you use your next post for the Genies en Herbe questions? Unless you sent them already or something...

-Ced

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, I'll get cracking on it. =_=

(The one I posted isn't the original either. It's a jpop cover. Huh, I think I like the Cantonese version better than the Mandarin one she did...)

[smurfmatic.livejournal.com]

Mandarin too?? _O_

[amamiyarin.livejournal.com]

if I can sign up with Johann/Tetora, you HAVE to sign up with Draco/Fuji. PERIOD. XD XD

[marici.livejournal.com]

I suggest you test the theory that it's your stubborn refusal to signup fueling the drabbling.

[solaas.livejournal.com]

Seems to me you've already given in. ;P

Malfoy is so malleable, poor boi. Mostly because people find his narstiness so...flexible for lack of a better term? ^_^ I re-read harpy's draco/eriol ficlet last week, which she wrote for meeee, and I was all <3

You should try draco with 30 other little anime/manga bois and march accordingly. How you could write 30 of these, I am not sure. Ode to pocky, haps?

Draco:......
Jae: I have to abuse someone!
Shigure: I am plenty abused, jae-kun. I wouldn't call what you lavish upon me wub.
Jae: Oh, but it is. XD

[baby-pen.livejournal.com]

you're so cute *_________________________*

[baby-pen.livejournal.com]

XD; that was meant for sabina, but I bet you're lovely too.

[serendip.livejournal.com]

I was going to say XD

Draco: That one isn't cute either XD
Jae: Be nice, Malfoy, be nice XD

I'm not the sort of person random strangers would call cute. Snarky, mebbe XD

[petronia.livejournal.com]

I gotcha. XD

[serendip.livejournal.com]

Speaking of, would you like to be on the Conceit filter?

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Put me on. It would appear that I'm on the slow road to recovery (did not read a word of HP fic for like a year and a half after OOTP). Am typically remiss with actual comments though, consider yourself warned. XD;;

[serendip.livejournal.com]

Hahaha

I barely read OotP XD Tho there was grim satisfaction in the OotP!Harry, I have come to peace w. Harry Potter aka the MU* to end all MU*'s XD

My HP fic reads like my CCS fic which reads like all my other fic. I don't seem to be one for taking the tone of the source series as one who seems too lazy to write her own original fic and uh writes therefore diguised fanfic? Or summat like that XD

I'm actually more concerned about the characterisation of Neville. Draco and Ginny have now become these monsters anyways, so I think I've given up on pleasing anyone w. them XDXDXDXD

[one-if-by-land.livejournal.com]

Why did I never notice that Draco is only a more extravagant Ryoma? You are brilliant.

[moderntime.livejournal.com]

This is adorable.

[canis-m.livejournal.com]

XDDD
I'm still trying to figure out in what way Draco tops.

[arisuesei.livejournal.com]

PLEASE DO !!!!

*DEAD*

SIGN UP.

*STILL DEAD* Man, just the prospect of it!

[keieru.livejournal.com]

Draco. Fuji. Pocky.

This made me ridiculously happy.
