masquerade!

Hello there ♥ You've somehow managed to find your way to my journal, probably through some crazy fandom thing because fandom's kinda cool like that.

So, um. I'm Ketchup, I'm a loser with no life really cool. Like the rest of PoT fandom, I spend a disproportionate amount of my time thinking about super powered tennis playing middle schoolers in love with one another (though my thoughts on them tend to be so very PG it's almost painful, especially considering how much of a perv I can be). I write fic and I fangirl, publicly.

If you want in on the private rl rambling (which may or may not be coherent), though, then you'll need to add me. I also tend not to cross-post most of what I write into comms, which is good for those of you who aren't maybe desperate because most of what I write is written at 2am, when I swear my brain doesn't work. Like, um, now.

If you want to be friends, just add me and leave a comment and I'll add you back. :)

(Yes, that means that I'm not adding you back unless you leave me a comment.)

This intro was copied from LJ, because IJ is cooler anyways. I'm also ketchupblood on LJ.

Well, you've heard me whine about this enough, definitely.

Title: a dance entirely their own
Pairing: Tezuka/Fuji
Word Count: ~9,000
Summary: Tezuka learns that he can be something other than what he was and Fuji learns that what he wants to be is what he has always been.
A/N: I would like to send a million thanks to my wonderful betas, reddwarfer and midnightblue88. Thank you. Written for paranoid_fridge for christmas_cacti.

( After nationals, Fuji had had every intention of dedicating himself entirely to tennis, to relish in the challenge and sweetness of victory that only challenge could bring. )

So, after berating measuringlife for writing horridly depressing (but still beautiful, and not even that depressing) fic for Tezuka's birthday, I write this. And it's not even on time. Fail, much?

Title: Leaning
Author: ketchupblood
Words: ~1,900
Warnings: AU
Summary: They stay behind, not because they cannot go but because Tezuka won't run and Fuji won't leave.
Table/Prompt: Un-Themed #1/Space

(  Because Fuji knew that Tezuka hadn't run away, and that he could have. )

It's 2AM and I should be in bed, buuut. lunarfirefox wrote a super awesome fic that deserves worshipping for me. Cyndaquil!Fuji and his trainer, Tezuka. I think that's all that needs to be said for you all to see the AWESOME that is this fic. Come on. POKEMON AU! GO READ IT!

(Also, I have a khr tag now. This amuses me quite a lot, actually. Yes, this post is actually totally on topic and really focused and this is all related.)

Public, because stalkers (I don't think I have any, BUT IF I DO) should read this fic too.

I think I hit the spirit of this quote perfectly. I'm rather proud of myself, actually. This is probably too late for a reminder, but christmas_cacti sign-ups end today.

Title: Things Left Spoken
Pairing: Tezuka/Fuji
Wordcount: Slightly less than 500
Warnings: Crack. Kind of.
Summary: Some things need to be said.
Table/Prompt: Quotes/ If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance

( Fuji found Tezuka holding a very large, very pink princess outfit. )

Title: A Will to Win
Words: <200
Characters: Chitose, Kintarou
Warnings: Hahaha... Ketchup writing Shitenhouji.
Summary: Kintarou asks Chitose a (mostly serious) question.
Table/Prompt: Quotes/Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much – Oscar Wilde

( Kintarou walked almost sedately to his table )

I told you guys I loved the prompt, right? Apparently that didn't mean that I had an actual plot idea. |D

Title: Climbing Hills
Pairing: Fuji, Saeki
Prompt: not everything makes you stronger
Wordcount: 300
Notes/Warnings: Fuji quits tennis. Again. Overused plot warning.

( Fuji was a dreamer—no child wasn't—but it was hard to dream about climbing a mountain that wasn't there )

I really like 7_days' prompts this time around. *dies* And I really don't want to do my homework.

Title: Waiting Up
Prompt: What good am I? - 7_days
Pairing: Yagyuu/Niou
Wordcount: 300
Disclaimer: Not mine

( Yagyuu didn't wait up anymore, not because he believed Niou's lies but because he couldn't bear to hear them anymore )

I'm feeling really kind of depressed today. Great, right? Have a random AU Tezuka/Fuji. *dies* I haven't written AU in forever.

Title: In the Line of Duty
Pairing: Tezuka/Fuji
Prompt: Hopelessly devoted, 7_days
Wordcount: 300
Notes/Warnings: AU, kind of vague

( A bus driver was the latest victim of the Fates... )

I know I have some Yanagi/Kirihara fans out there on my f-list, right? And you guys have all noticed the severe lack of a comm dedicated to them, yes?

WELL FEAR NO MORE! (Fear is definitely not the right word to use there.) THERE IS NOW A COMM! No credit to me, of course, but I think I'm the only one who knows other than the creator, so I should pimp this out.

yanagixkirihara

Check out my new layout, guys! It's so much happier than my last one and features a very naked Fuji. Which is always good. :D Yet, it still manages to be worksafe. *smug* In celebration, have a fic~

Title: Failed Attempt
Pairing: Marui/Kirihara
Genre: Gen
Author's Notes: For my dear spheksophobia. It's probably a lot more gen than you wanted, but it seems to be all I can write.

( That's not going to work... )

Also quite possibly the first time I've crossposted in half a year. Not sure about that, though.

Title: One Way Trip
Rating: G
Wordcount: Just shy of 2,000
Request: Day Late Friend - Tezuka and Fuji run into each other years after they've lost touch. Fuji admits he was in love with Tezuka, Tezuka admits that he felt the same. Their respective girlfriends find them and come over. No happy ending. Lots of awkward smalltalk! ♥
Summary: ...Not going to bother, the request basically covers it.
Notes: A million bajillion thanks to summerslaughter who is the best beta ever for finishing so quickly because I'm terrible and didn't start writing until recently. She rocks. A lot.

( Fuji smiled and Tezuka thought that Fuji's smile hadn't changed at all. )

shenguin, as promised, I wrote more. I even wrote your specific Guitar Hero fic, though it's kind of weird and convoluted and I don't even know. DO YOU GUYS LIKE MY NEW ICON? (This is the one my sister saw. |D)

Title: Newton's Third
Words: ~800
Pairing: Tezuka/Fuji
Rating: G
Warnings: A lot of parenthesis. Also, I have never played Guitar Hero before.
Summary: They play Guitar Hero (or, more accurately, they try to; even more accurately, Fuji tries to while Tezuka tries to study) and Tezuka is very bad at it (no surprise--his mind is elsewhere, after all).

( only without the certainty of Newton's laws because Fuji's reactions varied and he might choose to respond to outside stimulus or he might not )

Title: Reunion
Words: ~1,300
Prompt: Through Fire & Flames, 7_days
Pairing: Tezuka/Fuji, implied, slightly, maybe.
Rating: PG
Notes: I swear, it's kind of tangentially related to the prompt. A little bit.

( If I had to decide who would be most likely to break into my house and be there the first time I woke up disoriented in years, I would have chosen you )

So, I was rewatching/watching Veronica Mars, because I'm a loser like that, and OHMYGOD LOGAN IS SO CUTE. It's as bad as a shoujo manga, the way they make the relationship, but a;slkdfj. Can't stop. Love too much.

PHYSICS TEST TOMORROW.

LOOKIT! I wrote something! Rather, I started to write something and then I lost my train of thought and so I threw on a really weird ending and called it done. It is, however, the first thing I've written in months (more or less).

...Please don't hate me?

Title: And a... Happy Birthday to You Too?
Characters: Tezuka, Fuji, Cactus
Rating: G
Words: ~800
Warnings: I think the characterizations are both a bit off... =/
Summary: Fuji is silly and Tezuka has a press conference to go to after breakfast.

( At least it's something... right? )

So. Code Geass R2 started (yay!) and I'm downloading episode one (yay!) and I have a physics test on Monday (not yay).

And if you choose to never ever associate with me ever again, I will understand.

Back in seventh grade, I had the very bad sense to go on quizilla.com and read fanfiction. I didn't even know it was called fanfiction, but I read it. And there was this one that just sticks out in my memory, because it was epically long and I absolutely loved it, even though I knew (even then) that her character was a bit of a Sue. Just... a bit.

I, uh, just found it. By googling it. Because I... remember the title. Even now. orz (Oh, the title was "Seto Kaiba: When Geniuses Unite." No, the fic is not much better than the title, from what I remember.) But, um, yeah. I'm about to read it again. Because... nostalgia calls.

...

CAN SOME KIND PERSON PLEASE JUST SHOOT ME NOW?

My sister just told me that if I get together with my crush, she will laugh at me. This leaves me to wonder if 1) I have a bad taste in men, because everyone always laughs at me or if 2) she's just joking and doesn't know that I like him back yet. =/ I'm leaning towards the former, right now.
