She took another sip of her triple espresso as she watched a tanned young man in a black Lincoln Navigator pull up to the apartment complex across the street from her. Topaz-colored eyes peeked over a paper cup as he put the car in park and placed his cell phone at his ear. Her fingers lightly tapped the leather steering wheel of her rented car as her eyes observed him.

In moments, a familiar figure strode out of the building. “Ah, Zuko, so is this your new ‘brother’? He’s cute, in a tough, American kind of way.” Her lips pursed as she took note of his profile. As soon as Zuko got in the car, the vehicle pulled away from the curb.

“I wonder if it’s considered incest if Zuko’s his older brother?” Azula considered before laughing at the thought. She started up the car and began tailing the SUV. She had been curious as to what her brother had been up to since leaving home.

Excerpt:
She appraised him under the streetlight. As he pulled another long drag from his cigarette, lips pursed, Zuko looked almost cool — like one of those gangsters in an old black-and-white movie. The shadows created by the streetlight momentarily hid his scar as he stood there staring off into the night. For a moment, Katara considered that he would have been devastatingly handsome had he not received the scar. But, in a way, it also suited him she thought. Shaking her head, she returned to her original train of thought.

I finally got back to Dragons & Lotuses, my latest multi-chapter fanfic. I've ignored it for far too long in my quest to survive the second semester of grad school. So, this weekend, I read through comments beyondthemoor made ages ago and re-wrote bits of the latest chapter. Hopefully, I'll be able to post it sometime this week.

( On writing drabbles... )

As far as other story ideas go, I've got too many to count. None of them fleshed out really, then again, that's how this latest story started out. D&L was just a rabid plot bunny until I dedicated some time to it. I'd really like to explore some other fandoms, like Samurai Champloo (yes, I realize I'm REALLY late to this party, but I recently watched through the boxed set and some ideas are percolating) and Bleach. Of course, all the ideas are AUs (because I'm just that creative).

( Issues with Dragons & Lotuses...Or something like that. )

Anyway, that's all I've got in the writing department right now...
