From The Eevee's Paw

Fandom: Detective Conan

Title: Repression

Author: Eeveebeth Fejvu

Theme: #40 – It’s just a nightmare

Pairing/Characters: Kudo Shinichi and Sherry

Rating: T for sexuality and disturbing images

Disclaimer: I don’t own Detective Conan. I requested Haibara to make me a pill that would somehow turn me into the creator of the shrunken tantei-san, but my order is in line behind the antidote to Apoptoxin-4869. …So, for now, I write fan fiction.

Dedication: For Claude le noctambule, because I always greatly appreciate your reviews and your translation work with "Inertia". Also, the scenario in this theme corresponds with a scenario you and I once discussed years ago in the Aicoholics livejournal forum, though I wrote this piece even years before that.

Summary: She stood in the shadows… and waited for him to stir.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my last entry! Wow, so many great Aicoholics... In case you all are still worried, I am doing even better than before. I still can't feel those two fingers, among other things, but the recovery is supposed to take months. I guess I am just impatient, ha ha!

...And, Claude, I was totally going to tell you that I was going to Paris, but for some reason, never got around to it!  :(  Meeting you and having you show me around would have been a lot more fun! Darn it all... *sigh*

Anyway, I promised (?) fangirliness, and I am here to deliver! ...Mostly because I am in a fangirly mood right now, lol.

( * Fangirly Rant * )

I would love to enthusiastically promise (once again) that I will try to update this strange half-real-life, half-fangirl-life journal more often, but I know that it would probably be a lie. (Though I will try.)

Still, I felt the need to update this journal, though I am not sure if anyone ever reads this thing at all. I am not really a lurker on other people's journals, so I don't know why anyone would lurk on mine, but hey, if you do, that's cool with me! :D 

I suppose all of those "potential lurkers" out there are why I wish to update, rather than a need to just post things on the internet (I have never really gotten the hang of livejournal anyway). So, maybe, if you are reading this, will you give me a shout out to let me know? I'm just curious. 

( Anyway, onto current / recent events... )

If you didn't already know, I am currently living in London, England, as part of my study abroad program. I absolutely love this world city, which is odd, coming from a girl who has spent her whole life in a very small town and loves to be near nature (if not directly out in it). But London has so many beautiful parks near my flat that I don't miss a more rural landscape, and for some reason, this place has just seemed to click with me. And my roommate tells me that I am just a little too obsessed with the Underground, lol.

For Spring Break, I went with some friends to Edinburgh, Scotland, and even though it was freezing cold, I wouldn't have traded it for any beach party in the world! I think I may love Edinburgh even more than London. Heck, when I looked outside my window in the morning, I was looking at a huge castle on a hill! How awesome is that? But topping them both, forever, is Tintagel and its castle ruins in Cornwall. That has to be the most beautiful location on the face of the earth. I so want to live there some day...

A point of mention that my fellow Detective Conan fans might find interesting: On my train ride to Edinburgh, my companions and I were delayed when the train came to a halt for a full forty-five minutes. Why? Because there was, either on the line or in the train, a fatality! As sad as that was, all I could do was think about all of those DC cases, like the North Star Express case, and how much I wanted to go running off to investigate. Because that is what detectives do, right? I never got to see the crime scene, though. ...I just hope I don't become a death magnet, too...

My Arthurian Romances class (best class ever) has actually given me a very interesting idea for a theme for 40 Nights, which I have decided to definitely write. Which means it will be, like, probably a few years before you all get to read it... Hopefully not. Hopefully, I will be able to find time to write a lot soon. Hopefully, hopefully...

Though it was, as usual, cloudy and chilly in London this morning, the sun came out later on and the sky turned a beautiful blue, so I sat around in Russel Square and wrote on some fan fiction, as I have been wanted to do for a long time. My accomplishment? Finishing up a difficult piece that I had been working on for a long time! Therefore...

Theme 8 of 40 Nights: Shinichi and Shiho has finally been posted! It is entitled "The Girlfriend." 

If you want to read (and hopefully review) it, you can find it at shiho_sherry_ai and 30_nights or, even better, at my FF.Net profile at www.fanfiction.net/~eeveebethfejvu.

 

( SPOILERS for those who haven't read DC File 677 yet... )

Yeah... I'm still alive.

While I am very far from fulfilling my goal of completing my fanfiction livejournal challenge (why am I torturing myself doing this again?), I wanted to take a moment to review what I have completed so far:

1. "The End" - #26 – Frozen moment at the first sight
2. "Threads of Fate" - #37 – Threads of Fate
3. "Inertia: Part I" - #19 – Crying all night for you
4. "Inertia: Part II" - #02 – I’m willing to sacrifice anything just for you
5. "Inertia: Part III" - #17 – Black Wings; Wings
6. "Submerge" -  #12 – Your love is suffocating me

And, now, my latest installment:

7. "Adagio Sostenuto" - #18 – Listen to the music at night

All of these can be found on the 30_Nights community on this website or, better yet, on my profile at FF.Net. If I haven't already, I would really like to hear your opinions on these pieces (the writing, characterization, situations, etc.), hopefully in the form of a review. *usesEevee-eyes* Pretty please?

Knee-deep in the research and planning stages of the fantasy trilogy that I am going to write (likely in the very distant future), I have found myself extraordinarily interested by the meanings of names (both given and surnames) and their origins. This fondness is not uncommon in people of literary and artistic bent, so I thought I would share an interesting observation concerning one name in particular.

"Edward." It is an English given name meaning "rich guard," according to BehindTheNameDotCom (which is in my top-five favorite websites of all time). It is an extraordinarily popular name, and has been for centuries. Even now, its prevalence hasn't diminished: it has ranked in the top fifty names in England for the past ten years. Overall, "Edward" is a thoroughly common name for ordinary boys. 

So why on earth is every "Edward" I know so totally and completely not normal?

Today is June 11th - known to FullMetal Alchemist fans everywhere as "Royai Day," created to honor probably the greatest pairing in all of anime/manga: Colonel Roy Mustang and First Lieutenent Riza Hawkeye. 

I'll get into the absolute awesomeness of this pairing in a later post.

Even though I had to go to work today (I've got a summer office job at my college) and I didn't get to see or talk to any of my anime-obsessed friends, I still managed to celebrate this wonderous occation in my own little way. 

In order to honor Hawkeye, I wore my hair in Riza's style, with my bangs to the side and my hair up in a hairclip. In order to honor Mustang, I abandoned good common sense and wore my navy blue pleaded skirt (while not a "miniskirt," per say, I felt it was close enough to honor Mustang's famous decree... I don't even have a miniskirt). And to round it out, I wore my Amestris Military dogtags under my polo shirt. I'm sure my superiors at the office thought I was out of my mind. As I filed and sorted, I daydreamed Royai as well.

After work, I came home and read all the new Royai fanfiction on FF.Net that people posted in honor of the day. One of my favorite quotes came from 'Pickles the Great': "You know your OTP owns when it has its own holiday." That is so totally true.

And to finish off the evening, I watched an episode of FMA with my mom, who has promised to watch the whole series with me this summer by seeing one episode each day. Unfortunately, today's episode was #20, which has absolutely no Roy or Riza in it at all! ... except in the opening credits. Oh, well. It was still a good episode.

Overall, it was a pretty good Royai Day. I've been obsessively revisiting FMA (I watched the whole thing two years ago when it was new and on Adult Swim) for the past few weeks, so I have actually been celebrating for awhile. And to tell you the truth, I don't think I'm gonna be able to stop anytime soon.

[On a side note, I know it has been forever since I posted. I'm honestly gonna try to post pretty regularly so this thing doesn't look so sporadic. And I have quite a few things I want to say right now. Expect more soon.]

Well, I've finally started college... my little freshman self is so overwhelmed, heh heh... (Okay, it's been three weeks since I started and the excitement's worn off a bit, but still...). 

My classes are really good, though. I have Brit Lit (very fun... I totally fell in love with Beowulf and now we're reading Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales - in the old English!) and Humanities (*gasp* so... much... Odyssey...) and Cultural Anthropology (pretty interesting in it's own way).

...And get this... I'm taking Japanese 110! And it's wonderful! I took Spanish for two years in middle/high school and never learned a thing. In three weeks I've already learned more Japanese than I ever learned Spanish (probably b/c I actually care about the language). I'm already starting to understand little bits and pieces when I watch Detective Conan now; just the other day I heard Satou say sumimasen (which is like a mix between "thank you" and "sorry"). It was so cool. 

So, yeah, that's my life now. And I was just cast in a children's play today. That will be fun. ...Except part of it's in Spanish... (Ahhhhh! I'll never escape! LOL)

( And now to my otaku life... )

Well, the first theme of "40 Nights" has been posted. *sigh* Posting new stories always makes me both excited and exhausted at the same time. I hope everyone likes it, and reviews it at FF.Net. *drooping in resignation* ...I guess I better start getting the next theme together... the work never ends when it comes to a livejournal challenge. ^__^

Just thought I'd let everyone know that, yes, FICS ARE COMING! "40 Nights: Shinichi and Shiho" is actually making progress, and the first theme is currently beiong betaed by the fabulous Rae *much clapping*. As soon as she's done, I'm posting it and everyone will be happy and joyful. Right? ...yeah, since I said I'd do this challenge, like, last year...

Yes, that really is a question. I have no idea if I'm going to be able to keep up this thing, but I'll try to post at least more than once a year. ^_^

So this post is obviously nothing more than me just trying to get my profile stuff back in order so I can actually do some stuff on livejournal rather than just lurk like I normally do. Yep, that's me, the stalker. 

Maybe I'll post my good news later...

Here are my "Random Thoughts Of The Day".

Well, I joined the BlackOrgHQ community today and gave an intro post. I think I joined Aicoholics as well (this site still so confuses me), so I'm going to put up an intro post real soon... as soon as I have my Haibara!Eevee avatar drawn and up. I'm so excited! (I'm such a dork.)

It's officially fall break for me! Yippie! Hopefully that means that I get to write a lot more fan fiction, though I know it definitely means studying my lines for my school play and an overnight visit to my dream college...

Now I'm off to watch Num3ers and other miscellaneous friday night stuff... ^_^

Hello, livejournal. My name is Eeveebeth Fejvu, fan fiction writer. Nice to meet you.
