Hotbloods
Hotbloods by All That’s Left Channel 7-70 had Hotblood Saturdays every weekend of the month. They billed it as a double feature of independent erotic films, but Channel 7-70 (not actually a television channel but a full-service “anytime” subscription media-stream) was owned by Amaripa Group, and “erotic” was their re-purposed word for “explicitly pornographic.” It…

Dark Eyes On the Road
The dash instruments shed a comfortable amount of light between them; enough that Kay could still see their glimmer in Dimo’s eyes without the aid of other vision modes.

And Why Not
While not a hardcore Metal Gear Solid fan, I did have an appreciation for Snake & his hacker nerd remote partner, Otacon after writing this 2006 fic for a friend’s request.

Sometimes Always
This Naruto Shikamaru x Temari fic was originally posted (and still lives) on fanfiction.net in October 2005. Aside from some minor revisions for 2020, it remains largely unchanged from its original draft. Sometimes, nothing is more inviting to me than a bed of green grass under a blue sky. I like nothing more than laying…
