Upsloping
Notes: Poor excuse for a poem, no it is not exactly very good yes it repeats like every hikago theme I have written ever no I don't feel like rewriting it to make it less of a poor excuse.

Character(s)): Reborn
Notes: Okay, I admit; it's another one of those twenty facts things. I AM SORRY FOR BEING PREDICTABLE AND REPETITIVE. I wrote this fic starting at like 1.15 on a Sunday morning, straight after I'd managed to cough up my submission for hng_deathmatch and I was fully aware that there was NO WAY the vampire fic was going to materialise in time for the khr_undercover deadline and I needed a Plan B. This was Plan B, except that I'd always intended to do a fic like this for Reborn anyway, so. Who knows. XD
