Here are a few survey questions we'd like to ask! You don't have to answer any of these if you don't want to, but we would appreciate it if you indulged us. ♥

Rating: NC17 for shameless porn
Word Count: 2400
Summary: A (gratuitous) missing KyuMin scene from the seventh installment.

( only this moment holds us together, close to perfection, nothing else out there )

Title: In the Clear
Character(s): Sungmin
Rating: PG13 for the strip club, the 60's, and teenage Hae
Word Count: 9400
Summary: Seventh installment. Backstory. All these years, and he still hasn't learned (or maybe it's a matter of unlearning).

Notes: Wikipedia is my friend, history is not. The possibility of historical inaccuracy is high. I claim artistic license.

( thought I'd left forever, never thought that I'd return, but everyday I make my way, I guess I never learn )

Months ago, when we added the hit counter to this journal, I had a dream decided to do something special for our 666th hit (Sy says this is all Hyde's fault, and I... I guess that's true). Originally, I was going to write an additional story, but the hits went up faster than expected (Sy says: you lurkers, you). So today we thought we'd make cupcakes for the occasion instead. This was an awesome idea up until the icing at 3 a.m. After that, the idea became a lot less awesome and considerably more retarded. All I wanted out of the entire thing was to make a pink bunny with fangs ("big, sharp, pointy teeth!")

( Reason #2 why Cityverse will lose readers )

Title: Promise to Keep

( all at once, not a whisper nor word, then all at once )

Ahaha, um. pieces asked for explanations of the lyrics I apply to the Cityverse icons, and I can't turn down an excuse to ramble and pimp music at people. Though, most of these don't have thoughtful explanations behind them.

EDIT: No more paid account (thanks again, Mei)! Extra icons go bye-bye, but the music is still available.

( ...There sure are a lot of these. )

Cityverse music post. We might do these every so often when we're bored.

Title: Mélange
Character(s): Sungmin, Kyuhyun, Kibum, Shiwon, Leeteuk, Kangin, Donghae
Rating: PG13-NC17 range (yes, we have smut)
Word Count: 6000
Summary: So when I said I wanted to write a Christmas story for retarded vampire antics, what I meant was a November-December collection of short stories for porn and angst and I don't even know what.

Title: Kaleidoscope
Character(s): Donghae
Rating: PG (for exploding eggs of fail)
Word Count: 4700
Summary: Fourth installment. More backstory that ties in with the previous [Strings Attached], taking a look at the family through Donghae's eyes. Be warned that these scenes are not written in chronological order. There are two alternating sets of events, one going forward and the other going backward.

Shout-outs: fuminshou_neko is the best beta ever (and pimptastic, now I can place where some of these hits on our counter are coming from XD), and meiface is my favorite Donghae fangirl (and she better write more SuJu fic after exams). ♥

( you cut me out in little stars and place me in the sky, I lose my sense of time )

Title: Strings Attached
Character(s): Kibum, Shiwon
Rating: PG13 for not-there porn
Word Count: 6000
Summary: Backstory. How Kibum became part of the family.
Notes: Obviously, this takes place before A Song for Waking and Double Duke.

( drink up baby down, are you in or are you out )

Title: Double Duke
Character(s): Kangin, Leeteuk
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 3000
Summary: Can't have vampires without vampire hunters.
Notes: Credit where credit is due – the KangTeuk storyline wouldn't exist to this extent if not for Sy. She helps contribute to the entirety of Cityverse, but especially where KangTeuk is concerned.
Shout-outs: fuminshou_neko for being a wonderful beta, and meiface for being a wonderful fangirl. ♥

( I do not deal the cards and I play a lousy hand )

Title: A Song for Waking
Character(s): Kyuhyun, Sungmin
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 6000
Summary: The City lies in restless slumber, in exhaustion and defeat. Its streets are scarred and winding, lonely roads that lead to nowhere, around buildings that glitter and crumble in the same instant. The City has a name, but it's not worth remembering. The City sleeps, but on some nights...it wakes up.
Notes: AU, first in a series. Pairings will eventually be various. Huge thanks to fuminshou_neko for betaing. ♥
