(thank you, ~arcana, for the boys ;)

Mistletoe Walter Da La Mare Sitting under the mistletoe (Pale-green, fairy mistletoe), One last candle burning low, All the sleepy dancers gone, Just one candle burning on, Shadows lurking everywhere: Some one came, and kissed me there. Tired I was; my head would go Nodding under the mistletoe (Pale-green, fairy mistletoe), No footsteps came, no voice, but only, Just as I sat there, sleepy, lonely, Stooped in the still and shadowy air Lips unseen--and kissed me there.

on the twelfth day of christmas, my true love gave to me...

ff9 after-fic, by me: someone else's dream.

in addition to posting the next little bit of warming up,
i have posted some of our fanart! (sankyuu, celeste!)
look for schuldich, narsus & elam, billy, krelian, remus, kuja, blank, and more. ^_^
(look at our journals for a more complete rundown.)

5 october

ooh. i've made accessible some of the art that has been done to go with our (mostly Tenshi's...) stories!
look for this little button to show up on various pages.
also, due to proportionate numbers o' fics (thanks to warming up) i have swapped trigun for ff9.
trigun is now on the misc page; the veranda is now the dressing room.
...oh, hush.

4 october

Tenshi has finished her ff8 fic, Eden. I am the messenger, indeed.

bishonenink has been online for a year today.

*giggle* proud ta know ya.

15 august

we haven't got our own pics developed just yet, but here we are! and one-shots:
* Zax (looking unamused about the terrible line for preregistration) *
* Seifer (looking awfully demure ^^;) *
* Irvine (and you have to take my word on how fucking sexy those chaps really are) *
thanks to the Otakon 2001 pics up at A Fan's View.

27 july

no updates for a while, as i'll be out of town...
but look for us at Otakon!
Tenshi is Zax (you can't miss that buster sword), and i am Seifer (sans hyperion, unfortunately ;), and SarahQ is Irvine.

17 july

a remus update, 'cause a fantastic artist let me host her lovely, lovely pics. *^_^*

friday, 13 july
('cause it's too cool a date not to have an update)

dug up an old MaSho bit of mine, polished it off, called it (reconcile).
(otherwise known as the "sekhmet in the shower" fic. ^_^)
also added "lacking title", a brief moment of mostly english major insanity.

4 july

i see fireworks, i see pageant and pomp and parade...
and D has written us a kiriban gift, which is delicious, for hitting 10,000 since our move to kekkai. *feels loved*

2 july

no, we haven't fallen off the face of the earth, really.
lord willing and the creek don't rise, we shall have fic updates soon.
but for now: go love all over technomancy, 'cause they rock.
(also, 'cause i'm too poor to love on them properly. ahem.)

19 june

exit wounds, by me. a little touch of wolfwood, in the night.

14 june

a brand-spanking-new section! geez, the house is getting crowded. O.o
sooo... step on back to the veranda, for a chilled drink and some yummy Trigun fic goodness.
starring two new fics by Tenshi: "Sweating Bullets," and "Someday out of the Blue."

7 june

Tenshi has written some Escaflownish smut! it's in the miscellaneous section.
and she's finally polished chapter one of the inimitable virus fic, now called Bloodlines.
and BlackRose the marvelous has drawn an Angelo to match my little ficbit of him in the rain.

5 june

Olga has been so kind as to scan Tenshi's original character design of The Montague Boys. ^_^

4 june

Tenshi has a new GF fic, Hindi Diamonds.
a new pencilsketch from Olga, of phoenix and diego. *starry eyes*
and i posted "his first ride," that teeny angelo-on-chocobo bit. ^_^

24 may

tenshi has finished Paths of Desire! and there was much rejoicing.

21 may

just a leetle update-- added a "fic" section to ShinRa, ink., and my little angelo ficlet.

18 may

tgif! i've made a shrine to remus j. lupin, so sue me.
tenshi has compiled all our favorite (read: scanned) dj images and etc, into a bishonenink studio!
and *drumroll* we've posted ShinRa, ink., a friendly user's guide to our ff7 world.

16 may

what better way to wake up of a morning than with two lovely new flames? *sigh*
though, in other news, i'm building a remus shrine. *waves fangirl flag* from scratch! go me.

14 may

confetti for phoot, who hit 20,000! *kermit style "yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!"*

and a reeve update, 'cause rose drew 'im. rumpled, tie undone. for me. *drools*

11 may

okay, so it's not in time for the full moon.
but here is apogee, the resolution of some sirius/remus ust.

a duo of elena fics!
no connection, by me, a sordid love affair when she was a turk trainee.
and No More Valentines, by tenshi... and well, you'll just have to see.

9 may

a sestina by Tenshi, for Zax...

7 may

hungry? you will be.
welcome to our kitchen, pull up a chair...

also, as we approach 20,000 (wowee!) just a reminder to email us if you're a kiriban!
'cause i love to know who's visiting.

5 may

Tenshi has opened her Zax shrine... full of poignant lovelies.
because we love them all, we do.

3 may

a reeve update! thanks to inkyllama for the scans. ^_^

annnd... the barbecue pit is back up and running, because some like it smoky.

also (this is just a day for updates, isn't it?)
tenshilove has written more on Redemption Day. (the zax came back, the very next day...)

because i have no life, and because i'm learning tables in html,
i made up a calendar of bishonenink birthdays-- our datebook!

2 may

i've jumped the bandwagon (at last), and started a blog of sorts... just a place for otherwise homeless plotbunnies.
so now tenshi and i both have livejournal accounts,
where you might find an unminted smattering of unfinished fic glinting golden in your pan.
they're also linked on the housepage, right underneath our email. for the curious.

30 april

the finale to my little remus trilogy, strewn stars.

27 april

the b i s h o n e n i n k grand relocation message!

Snape: *levitating several crates downstairs* He can put it in my dungeon, if he likes.

Seifer: Hell no! We won’t have a coffee table, then! Put it in front of the TV, where it goes!

Rowen: Will you quit bitching and actually carry something? *throws packing paper at Seifer*

Billy Lee: I can’t believe you packed all your beer bottles individually!

Jessie: Damnation, boy, those are Solarian limited edition short run brandy bottles! You pack those babies properly!

Squall: Where’s my room?

Several dozen bishonen: With me!

Squall: *rolling eyes* ...whatever.
