Notes: 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: I had made Toshiya my doctor and my nurse. I'd made him my therapy, too. 


( Chapter Eighteen )

the office chart #14 and upcoming projects

So today I wrote the penultimate chapter for The Glasshouse, and I'm currently just over 1,000 words into the last chapter. 

Being the jittery soul I am, I'm already thinking about what should come next...whether I want to start on the AMLOR sequel straight away, or give sequels a rest for a while...on my hunt for inspiration, I placed an ad in dir en grey yaoi, asking about favourite pairings, so it's be really cool if any of you would fill that out! 

I also went to Hard Rock Calling yesterday, so I'm really tired...but it was cool, it was a pretty chill day.

Honestly, I'm really sad to be almost done with The Glasshouse. It's sort of the benchmark of a new era in fic writing for me; it's a lot darker, the subject matter is a lot more mature, and...well, whether or not the ending is happy depends on how you define happiness. It certainly does for Kyo. (Har har.) 

Anyway, the office chart for this week: 

1. Army of Me - Bjork
2. Railroad Boy - The Magnetic Fields
3. Unravel - Bjork feat. Thom Yorke
4. One Slip - Pink Floyd
5. Vinushka - Dir en grey
6. Between My Legs - Rufus Wainwright
7. The Things We Did And Didn't Do - The Magnetic Fields
8. Harrowdown Hill - Thom Yorke
9. Amber - Dir en grey
10. Cymbal Rush - Thom Yorke

Particular lines from these songs that have proved especially inspirational:
"You held me down when I had seizures."
"While you are away, my heart unravels like a ball of yarn."

As well as the general sound/atmospheres of Harrowdown Hill, Cymbal Rush and Amber. Three very good songs. 

Aside from that, I also listened to Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero all the way through whilst writing today, so that was very inspirational...I don't know what to do next...half my mind is buzzing with thrillers and the other side is roaring with dramas...!

Anyway, I hope all readers enjoy the ending to The Glasshouse. Thanks for reading, guys! x
