The Glasshouse: 10/??

Title: The Glasshouse
Author: andrew_in_drag
Pairings: Kyo x Toshiya, Die x Toshiya
Rating: mature
Warnings: sex, rock 'n roll, mental illness theme
Previously: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 
Notes: this is the companion piece to 'Fifteen Years', covering Kyo's side of the story. Though they go together, they follow the same timeline, so you won't have to have read 'Fifteen Years' for this to make sense. 
Synopsis: "You're doing a good thing," I told him stiffly, "A wonderful thing. Toshiya, you are keeping me alive."


( Chapter Ten )

"I was so happy, I shaved" (the office chart #13)

So unlike a few days ago, when I was suffering from low self-esteem and general distemper (read: PMSing like a bitch), I am now legs-akimbo in my literary saddle. 

I have a happy 5000-word head start on The Glasshouse, which has that particular box ticked for the next two days, so I've also started the first chapter of my AMLOR sequel. I will never do not yet have a name for it, but I have my plot all laid out, and I'm very excited to sink my teeth into it! I anticipate The Glasshouse being about 15 chapters long, just like Fifteen Years (I find the symmetry quite pleasing), so it will be finishing rather soon. 

I'm not sure how I feel about that! I've really enjoyed writing it, but it's been by far the most challenging fic I've done so far. It has inspired a separate, non-fanfic writing project, called The Fire Tree, which I'm really excited about...so I'm working on that too. Aaah! 

But here's some sneaky titbits about my upcoming AMLOR sequel...


> It features Miyavi as a very famous guest star...so I hope you all are happy with that! 
> Kyo is as bitter and cynical as ever, and has some new horizons to explore
> Kaoru is still clueless and adorable
> Toshiya might be having the momentary lapse of reason, this time...


So the office chart this week is for both fics. See if you can't separate Kyo's wrist-slitty songs from untitled-AMLOR-sequel's more upbeat(ish!) selections...
