Yeah I write, a lot; too much, maybe [fan fiction, final fantasy 7 to be specific]. So I'm going to unleash upon you poor souls, the horrid works that spew forth from my mind! Now, just a heads up: I primarily write yaoi (if you don't know what that is, look it up, or not). But I do manage to write a non-yaoi every now and then, one of which I am going to use as an example should any of you be interested in checking out my other stuff (also, if you like what you see, I do take requests!)

This one is called "What We Do (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3410924/1/What_We_Do)".

It is Turk-esque and a oneshot, not terribly long.

Rating: PG-13

Those of us who stood in the doorway never troubled ourselves with the lives we were about to destroy; still and watchful, eyes darting spryly about the hall––that was their duty.

And then there were the ones who did the dirty work.

A wife, two kids, small home business.

I held a steady aim with my gun to his head while the man cowered in the corner like a dog, shivering with his tail between his legs. He wasn’t so tough now, what, with all the sh*t he pulled earlier. I guess he really wasn’t expecting to get caught judging by the way he jumped and dropped the bowl he was holding when we so graciously let ourselves in. It shattered into pieces around his feet, but that was the least of his worries.

Probably figured he’d have a bullet in his head soon enough...

“Where is it?” I asked. We were doing something I liked to call a “clean sweep”, which, unfortunately, didn’t happen very much. It’s not that I enjoyed the act of killing people. What sick f*ck would? No, this was different. I liked having the power to burst in unannounced, kick a** and take names. I guess you could say that’s what would happen most of the time. But we would only kill if the situation called for it. And never a peasant either. When we wasted someone, they were always trash who deserved it––nothing more, nothing less.

Again, I asked. “Where…is it?” Man, was he getting on my nerves. I had no patience considering the fact that his wife and children could come home at any moment. We were not as heartless as some claimed. I’d rather do the deed first and get away unnoticed; at least then we wouldn’t burden the family with any unnecessary rage of knowing the face of their beloveds killer. If only he would just tell me what I needed to know...

I glanced to my right at my partner who took it upon himself to search for our reason for coming. He was even trying to be as neat as humanly possible. If it were me, I’d tear the place apart. F*ck being polite. Where was the respect when he decided to start an uproar? You can’t act a certain way and demand to be treated with reverence in return. It doesn’t work like that--never has, never will.

“…Anything?” I spoke over my shoulder. He was still searching, but there was nothing. So I turned my attention back to our target and said something along the lines of, “Look, I’m bein’ nice here. I could put a bullet in your head right now if I wanted to. Alls I’m askin’ is that you tell us where it is and we can get out of your hair. It’s as simple as that.”

We were getting nowhere fast and my patience was running thin. I could feel my finger wrapped around the trigger begin to tremble. Even my arm tensed as I tried not to go off before we got an answer. Maybe all of this was pointless and a waste of f*cking time? If I were in charge, I’d rough him up a little, but the boss didn’t want that. He said to keep it clean, leave no evidence behind if at all possible, and to only use force as a last resort. Still, I was finding it hard to stand there and wait uncomplainingly while the guy did nothing but sh*t his pants.

“Can’t you just look in the general direction? We’ll find it ourselves.”

It was no use. The guy was scared out of his mind. He was barely even breathing, let alone deciding whether or not to tell us what we needed to know. So I lost it. I let one off and went against the boss’s orders. It didn’t hit him, though. The bullet pierced the wall a few inches away from his head in an explosion of white plaster and wood. If I wanted to kill him, I could and would have. But all I was trying to do was get an answer.

To my right, my partner glanced over his shoulder having been startled by the loud crack. Through his dark sunglasses, I could tell he was glaring at me. I smiled sheepishly and dropped the gun to my side. Maybe now we would get somewhere...

“Listen, buddy…” I spoke softly as I came to my knees right in front of him. His eyes were as wide as dinner plates, and I swear I could hear his heart pounding in his chest like a hammer against metal. He was sweating bullets and sat shivering uncontrollably up against the wall. “I’ll make you a deal, but you gotta listen carefully, alright? ‘Cause you know I’m not f*cking around.”

The man nodded furiously; his mouth hung slack.

Good. This was working.

“How about…you tell me where it is I can find what we came for, and I won’t put a bullet in your face next time?”

At first, I thought maybe we’d go through the same thing we’d been over the last half hour, but I was wrong. He nodded––yes––again and finally pushed himself up from the floor. I followed behind eagerly, flashing my partner a sly grin as we rushed by. He stopped his search through the china hutch to tag along, but not before carefully setting down what looked to be some fancy dinnerware.

In a small room that was lined with boxes that reached the ceiling, he fell to his knees and pushed to the side a small rug. Under that rug was the outline of a doorway, which he pulled up to reveal a hiding space. I stood inside the room near a cluttered desk and watched as the man retrieved a small box; the only item not covered in a thin film of dust. He rose from his knees and returned to us, handing the box over. Before we left I needed to check something. All of the papers were in there and intact. Not a thing was missing.

“Good job,” I smiled and patted him on the shoulder with the hand in which I held my gun. He just stood there looking mighty defeated, knowing this was definitely not worth his life. “I don’t want to have to come back here again, you hear me?”

Another furious nod assured me that the man had probably learned his lesson.

As promised, we took our leave; a car waited outside with the engine running. It even seemed that no one had noticed the gunshot either, but that's the city for ya. Another mission well accomplished and without any bloodshed, even if I would have preferred to go about it a different way. Perhaps the boss will throw me a bone in the future?

There was always next time.

[**Author's Note: Sorry about Reno having a gun. I know people have pointed this out to me before, and really gotten mad over it >_<, but it just works better for what I was trying to accomplish. Think of it as they're just starting out and honing their skills--he'll get to the Electro-metallic rod later.]

It's very well written Nill, something which I haven't been seeing very often 'round here. Definately a good taste for what you've got reserved for us. :^D

I can't check out your pr0nz or FF.net just yet since I'm at school, and the net here blocks certain pages. And my comp at home still ain't working. ;__;

D'aww, thankies. :wub: It's an old one, but I certainly think it's one of my better works.

I'm willing to put up excerpts if people want it, though I'd have to work out a way to leave out the dodgy parts. A lot of my stuff is plot first, then secks later (and pretty tame, even), so maybe I can make edits or leave some parts out. It's certainly not a problem if you guys want to see more. :)

I'm pretty certain I read Kimitsu say somewhere that he "doesn't care for porn on the site". D':

But even if you do post the altered versions, I'll eventually get an eyeful of the original. C: JUST NEED THAT BITCH OF A COMP TO GET ON THE ROLL AGAIN.

Really? Well I've been writing for a loooooooooong time, and some of that stuff has been up for a while. I also worked on some FF8, Gravitation and X-Files, but those are old as shit and not very good. :aldo:

While it's generally well-written, I've noticed that you make a lot of basic mistakes that most people make when they're either thinking it over too much or simply make a common misconception in phrasing.

First off is semicolon use. You do use it correctly in some areas, but in others it would be better to simply end the sentence or transform the sentence to accommodate a comma and a simpler transition between related phrases. The way it's used gives me the impression that you're simply using it where it looks good and sometimes makes the sentence sound more professional while it brings it down in actuality.

Second off is a simple inattentive mistake know as using the wrong pronouns. The first example of misuse can be found right from the get-go in your opening paragraph, but only because it's paired with a sentence-fragment as well as a semicolon mistake: "Those of us who stood in the doorway never troubled ourselves with the lives we were about to destroy; still and watchful, eyes darting spryly about the hall––that was their duty." A semicolon is most commonly used to connect two independent clauses, which is what it looks like you employed even though your intention was to use the semicolon in the lesser-known manner of listing. Even so, the attempt at listing should not be employed since the semicolon/listing employment only occurs when there are three or more items to be listed, and should benefit from a conjunctive term. Because of these mistakes, your use of the pronoun "their" in the final words of the sentence would actually refer to the original clause of "us", which would make little sense. The easiest solution would be to separate the sentences instead of attempting to bring them together.

There are numerous other individual pronoun mistakes as well as sentence fragments. To name one that pretty much embodies the lot of them, I'll refer to this minor extract: "Good. This was working." The problem is that it's a new paragraph. You can't say "this", because it refers to nothing. Specify what "this" is. You should mind these mistakes carefully.

Lastly, in sentences like " It was no use. The guy was scared out of his mind." you SHOULD use a semicolon. Your quotes could be conjoined with your sentences better. Little mistakes are made concerning your quotes, such as in “Good job,” where the comma should be placed on the outside of the quotation marks.

Oh lord, believe me Val I know how many mistakes I've made in this piece of crap one shot, but this was written years ago, and I've learned since then. If I have time (or the will) to go through it to fix grammatical errors, I will eventually, but it definitely won't be now. =p

P.S.

Not having a beta anymore really stinkz.
