KHR 254 watch, day 8.
Shounen Jump still on "vacation." Still no sign of spoilers. Restless. Refreshed Mangahelper's KHR forum a dozen times yesterday, despite fact that most of the day was spent at work and then in NYC watching brother's band perform on open mic stage. Results unsatisfying. Spoiler thread remains unposted in.Am starting to experience "withdrawal"; they told me it would set in as the first week drew to a close. Suggested remedies have proven ineffective; fanfiction only heightens the pangs of loss, and the Arco arc, while highly entertaining, is not the same without Byakuran there to be a dick and Irie there to make us all fall in love with him. Also, Gokudera still having problems winning his fights.
Have resorted to this one last potential ward against the impending darkness, this one last light when all other lights go out. They call it a "meme." Obtained from
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
cleartempest:Fics That Never Happened Meme: If you make up titles for stories I didn't write, I will respond with details of those non-written stories. (Please specify fandom or at least give me a couple to choose from)
and/or
The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms or characters or pairings you know I write AND give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc.). I will then explain what story from that fandom/character I would write for that AU.
It may be that these "memes" will serve to preserve my sanity for one more week. I pray they will, though I fear I am already a lost cause.
ETA: Blargh I've been trying to come up with details for
cleartempest's and poisontea's awesome replies, but my brain is just really low on creativity today (well, not completely, but most of it is for other random fic ideas that keep popping up). I'LL GET TO THEM SOON, THOUGH, I PROMISE. (I really want to do that Magical Girls one especially. |D)

How I Overcame My Fear of Everything
"I'm telling you, it really works!" Genkishi insisted as he waved the CD in Basil's face. "It helped me overcome my dependency issues and finally break free from Byakuran-sama to become my own person!"
"I... I just don't know," said Basil doubtfully. "Subliminal therapy? Really?"
"It'll give you all the confidence you need!" said Genkishi as he thrust the CD into Basil's unwilling hands. "Just take it! Trust me!"
"Okay..." Basil finally conceded, though he still looked apprehensive.
"Watch your face, kid, or it'll get stuck that way," said Genkishi before disappearing in an illusionary poof of smoke.
"..." said Basil as he began to examine the CD.
---
"I am a strong, independent man. I am not afraid of anything. I believe in myself! I don't need to chase the approval of charismatic would-be dictators just to boost my own self-esteem."
Basil slept on as the self-empowering mantras repeated throughout the night.
---
"Byakuran!" Basil shouted defiantly as he stood outside the Millefiore headquarters the next day, surrounded by an army of fluffy bunnies. "Come out! Face me!"
"Well, it seems I have a visitor!" smiled Byakuran as he opened his door and stepped out onto the Millefiore front lawn. "And what brings you here, Basil-kun?"
"I'm not afraid of you anymore! And I don't need to seek your approval to boost my own self-esteem! Also, I quit smoking!"
Byakuran's smile faded. "Fuck, is this that fucking subliminal message shit again? Remind me to have Genkishi blown up... again."
"I and my army of cute fluffy bunnies are here to stop you and your evil ambitions for good!" shouted Basil, shaking his adorable little fist.
Byakuran eyed the bunnies with a raised eyebrow.
"...I don't know either, they just started following me all of a sudden!" said Basil defensively. "But anyway, that's not the point! The point is... ATTACK!"
Baring their vicious little bunny teeth, the rabbits sprang forward. With a sigh, Byakuran took a step back, reached into his back pocket, and produced a pan flute, on which he proceeded to play a quick little tune.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, there came a chilling hissing sound as a mass of snakes appeared on the horizon, slithering as fast as they could to Byakuran's aid. Basil looked shocked.
"A little trick I learned from the parallel universe in which the Mafia is composed of thousands of magical snake charmers, who battle each other for honor and prestige in something very much like the world's lamest game of Pokemon," Byakuran explained.
Basil could only watch in horror as one by one, the adorable fluffy bunnies were mercilessly devoured.
"Well, now, it appears you're defenseless, Basil-kun," said Byakuran in that smug little tone of voice that makes you want to punch him in the face.
"No... no! My plan... it failed!" Basil wailed, collapsing to his knees in despair.
"Any last words?" asked Byakuran.
"I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!" came a booming voice from the heavens. Suddenly, missiles appeared out of nowhere, blowing up all of the snakes. Byakuran made that face he made at the end of the last chapter as Basil looked around wonderingly, trying to spot his miraculous savior.
"It is I, Genkishi!" the voice announced as the clouds parted to reveal Genkishi, decked out in full Stalfos mode. He walked up and gave Basil a hearty thump on the back.
"Genkishi! I-I tried, I really did! I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, Basil! You've already proven your bravery! I told you those CDs would work!"
"Genkishi! I'll never doubt you again!"
"..." said Byakuran angrily.
"Don't worry, Byakuran-sama, your snakes are fine! The missiles were only illusions!" explained Genkishi soothingly.
Byakuran took a threatening step forward, and Genkishi stopped him with a well-placed wall. Then, turning back to Basil, he took him by the hand.
"Come, Basil, let's embrace the new world of endless possibilities together without fear, you and I!"
And together they skipped off into the rainbow.
(...IT JUST SORT OF HAPPENED. God, I am so sorry. XD)
Re: *rolls up sleeves*
Shouichi is a young enterprising soul who dreams of one day running the BEST HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE IN ALL OF JAPAN!! His best friend Haru convinces him to follow his dreams, and so with her at his side, he starts his business. Haru convinces another friend of hers, Yamamoto, to join after finding out he needs a job. Yamamoto turns out to be a NATURAL-BORN HOUSEKEEPER and his amazing skills are put to the test one day when one day he's forced into an epic MAID TOURNAMENT in which he meets the world's foremost housekeeping master, Genkishi. Yamamoto defeats Genkishi in honorable battle and convinces him to join Shouichi's team.
Meanwhile, Haru meets a street punk with NOTHING TO LOSE named Gokudera, and after several encounters convinces him that joining Shouichi's housekeeping team is just the second chance he's been looking for! AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING GREATER THAN HIMSELF! Her words of love and friendship slowly but surely begin to resonate in his heart and THEY FALL IN LOVE!! But unbeknownst to Haru, Shouichi had been in love with her all along, and so an angsty love triangle forms.
And Mukuro is one of their mysterious clients who regularly calls on them to clean his mansion but they're always finding creepy things like BLOODSTAINS and BULLET HOLES there, and they start to suspect he's involved in some sort of underworld nastiness. Then one day a major political figure is murdered in the mansion and Mukuro frames Shouichi for the crime. So the rest of Shou's team has to put their differences aside and BAND TOGETHER to prove their boss's innocence, and during the course of things it's discovered that the politician (who we'll call "Tsuna") is still alive, and so they free him and get Shouichi off the hook and Mukuro gets put behind bars. And then Tsuna publicly endorses Shouichi's housecleaning service, and they become more successful than ever, and everyone lives happily ever after.
