Headcanon ficathon!

[reikah]

Well, it's been a while since the Olympics, so I thought I'd throw this here as a fun community event (don't worry, this isn't the summer challenge/contest, I'm still ironing that out).

Welcome to the Kurofai headcanon meme!

What is a headcanon? A headcanon, for those of you not familiar with the terminology, is "An idea, belief, or aspect of a story that is not mentioned in the media itself, but is accepted by either the reader themselves or the fandom in general. If it is confirmed by the author of the story, it becomes canon." (Thanks, urban dictionary!) Examples might include 'Fai has terrible metabolism, his feet get very cold' or 'one of Mokona's 108 techniques is Vibrate Mode' or anything else you feel is true but never confirmed in the text. Not all headcanons are worksafe.

How it works:

You leave a comment with one of your Kurofai headcanons. You can do so signed into a dreamwidth account or anonymously, for those of you without dreamwidth accounts/with embarrassing headcanons.

Someone else will write a short story based around your headcanon, and post it as a reply to you.

In short, it works a lot like clampkink - but for headcanons rather than kinks!

Anonymous commenting is enabled, but you do not need to post headcanons/stories anonymously if you don't want to. I'm also going to go ahead and label this post NOT WORKSAFE preemptively, so please be careful browsing where your computer access is monitored! Stories can be as long and short as you like, and as SFW/NSFW as you feel like, or, if you prefer, you can fill with fanart instead - both are excellent. For our rules on threesomes or moresomes, check the comm rules in our profiles.

That's all the nitty-gritty out of the way - now let's go ahead and share some headcanons!

Unfilled Headcanons
Kurogane's father trained him the way Kurogane trained Syaoran.
Kurogane had a case of performance anxiety before he and Fai had sex the first time.
Kurogane is a virgin. Fay is not.

Fai starts to experience some of Sakura's memories after C!Syaoran stores her feathers in his eye.
Fai and Yuui were born on a national holiday; this is considered an ill omen for Valeria
Kurogane accidentally kills his father during the fall of Suwa
Kurogane & Fai resettle Suwa post-series, and Kurogane grows his hair out like his father
Kurogane has a well-worn notebook filled with terrible poetry. Fai enjoys flipping through the pages and trying to guess which world each was written in.
Holitsuba - Kurogane and Fai keep tracking of whose on top with different coloured condoms. Fai steals Kurogane's in order to top more.
Fai slept around in Ceres (with men and women), but Kurogane is his first steady significant other.
Holitsuba!Kurogane hums to himself when he's in a good mood.
Fai is a creature composed out of magic, rather than human.
Kurogane's conscience sounds A LOT like Tomoyo.
Kurogane was devastated by Fai's 'good morning, Kurogane'.
Post-Clow arc: When Sakura and Syaoran went into the tube o'doom, they left their bodies as empty shells on the floor. Touya found them, and moved them into a long-term care wing at a hospital; waiting for their souls to come home again.
Fai is musically gifted, and every song he plays represents a specific memory/event from his life. Kurogane comes to realize this without Fai knowing it.
Kurogane is the worst boyfriend ever.
The other dimensional versions of Chi, Hideki and the twins live happily.
Fai was a virgin until he met Kurogane because Ashura-ou had some non-fatherly feelings towards him and though he couldn't openly have Fai he could stop others from even thinking of approaching Fai, and none dared to oppose the king.
Fai is uncomfortable with the Japanese way of bathing where everyone just strips naked and soak together.
Fai knew that he would live much longer than Kurogane and while traveling with Tsubasa!Shaoran has been trying to find a way for Kurogane and him to share the same lifespan.
Kurogane is loud in bed.
Kurogane and Fai shared a tent in Yama; Fai felt dirty after being assaulted by soldiers and begged Kurogane to clean him. They had sex regularly after that.

Little Puppy in Paradise - Part 2

[misskirichan]

"Now, Puppy, lift up your leg a little more."

He was currently sandwiched between two incredibly attractive men with one woman licking the soles of his feet. It was something new, but not unpleasant; he could see himself getting used to the whole feet licking thing.

"And… take two!"

It was hard to explain, but the moment the camera was back on them, he became completely lost in the bliss of it. Knowing it was a performance actually made him more comfortable; no attachments, no emotions. Nothing but the feeling of skin on skin, the dampness at the base of his neck, and the delicious sounds coming from their--his--mouth.

But as the hours went on, he came to see it wasn't so much an act, but a dance. A dance of knowing when to come together, when to pull apart. Knowing when to give, and to take. It had become a completely transcendent state, one where his body was nothing more than a vessel for pleasure. When the director called out directions, it came from a distant shore, somewhere in the realm of the other, the place of reality, where everything was measured and everything was a game. This was natural. This was the only time he didn't have to think.

But he was brought back to reality by the glimpse of Kurogane. Through the haze, he saw his face. It was lined with lust, he saw it, was drawn to it like a dying man to water. But there was something else, something lurking behind his eyes. Hurt. Shame. Confusion.

Suddenly, the mist faded away. There was no more bliss, no transcendence. There was nothing but the stage, and the actors writhing across his exposed skin. He looked down and noticed that all of the people looked the same. These people he had joined with, they too were nothing but vessels of pleasure to give and take.

They wrapped up in the next hour, doing things that made the girl who had welcomed them turn bright pink, barely visible behind the clipboard she held in front of her face. Everyone else clapped as they wrapped up, the director nearly in tears as he said that their performance had been 'art, true art,' and that he had finally managed to capture the form of true pleasure.

They all shook Fai's hand, not seeming to mind the stickiness, before scurrying off in different directions to make a hasty set change as the cast for the next film began to filter in.

In the flurry of activity, Fai wasn't sure what to do. He felt vulnerable and exposed, like he had just descended from the home of the gods into the harsh realm of mortals. He was staring blankly at the room around him when he felt a robe drop over his shoulders.

"Let's get you cleaned up."

Before he could respond, he felt himself being gently led to the room they had started out in.

He was guided to a chair, while the other person flitted about the room, muttering. It was Kurogane.

"Oh, hello Kurogane…" His own voice sounded strangely distant.

"Mage."

He continued to look around the room, collecting a few items before coming over.

He pulled out a few towels, and began to wipe at Fai's face. "Can't have the kids seeing you like this, now can we."

"Mmmm." Was all he could manage in response.

"So…" The wiping suddenly became a little more rough. "Did you have a good time?"

"Great time. Great time… yeah."

"That's good."

The continued like that for a few minutes. The sound of towels and various wet naps the only thing filling the silence.

"Did… did you like it?" Fai asked it softly, somehow knowing it was a question that could change things between them.

"Yeah, sure. Why wouldn't I?"

"Oh. I just thought…"

"Thought what? That I'd be jealous? That I wouldn't be okay with you enjoying yourself?" The last part came out gruffly, and Kurogane got up to put the towels in a small basket near the door without looking at him.

It was true. He had enjoyed himself. More than he had thought possible. So what was bothering him so much? And what did Kurogane have to do with it?

-----------

It was only when they were almost home--well, what they called home in this world--that he realized it. He took a deep breath, not exactly sure what to say.

"Kurogane, I…" Kurogane turned back to look at him, hesitancy hanging in the set of his shoulders.

"I… won't do that again. Okay?"

He looked at him but didn't respond, almost as if he was waiting for Fai to say more.

He was careful to bring his sing-song back as walked up and laced his hand through Kurogane's. "After today, I've come to realize that it would be way more fun to do all of that on a home video."

Another questioning look. God the man was dense. But as they walked down the street, hand in hand, Fai could almost let himself believe that it would work. That he could be open, and honest, and okay. That they were just one more normal couple with nothing more to worry about then what they'd have for dinner.

Even if that would never happen, it was fun to pretend. Just one more scene to add to his grand performance.

------------

They left the world less than a week later. The film had brought in a killing, enough to set them up quite nicely for the next few worlds.

Fai had even gotten a copy of the film to send to Yuko. He had a feeling that she might appreciate it. And who knew? It might even give Watanuki and that other boy some creative ideas of their own.

Holy oh my god o.0
That was really well done

Although I don't think I'm going to be able to erass the mental image of Kobato working at a porn studio from my brain

Re: Little Puppy in Paradise - Part 2

[misskirichan]

I'm glad you liked it! :3 Though if it makes you feel any better, Kobato is just on the production staff. ;)

I somehow imagine that she totally ended up working there by accident, reading some sort of employment ad that said 'assistant needed at film studio' and missed all the subtle clues that it was a porn studio.

Re: Little Puppy in Paradise - Part 2

[tsubasafan]

I'm so happy that someone filled this and I loved the taste of flangst at the end.

Re: Little Puppy in Paradise - Part 2

[misskirichan]

I'm so glad to hear it! I was worried that the angst would be too sudden with all the other fluff. Good to know that it was okay. :)

This was seriously a lot of fun though. My hat goes off to the anon who came up with the headcanon for it.

Re: Little Puppy in Paradise - Part 2

[farenmaddox]

So, wow, I was expecting to laugh my head off and you wound up breaking my heart.... I mean, I laughed as well, so there was that, at least. Listening to the studio people calling Fai "Little Puppy" was killing me in a good way, and THEN OMG then it got all angsty and it was killing me in a bad way. Ouchie. ;A;

"Just one more scene to add to his grand performance." aoifhadso; THIS IS THE BEST LINE

Re: Little Puppy in Paradise - Part 2

[misskirichan]

Ha ha ha... I'm sneaky like that. *does poor imitation of a ninja* You come for the laughs and leave with the tears. (Well, metaphorical tears, anyways.)

I know it was kinda all 'angst train out of nowhere' but it seemed somehow appropriate, given it's Fai and he is a sad and broken BB.

I'm also glad that you liked the 'grand performance' line... I have to say that it's also my favorite line in the piece. I think it sums up Fai (and his life) pretty well.

Thank you for reading Faren-Senpai. :3
