Description He said, "I am not a pet to be collected, m'lord."

The Emperor replied, "No, you are a songbird, perfect for my menagerie."


==================


Eridian's House | Formspring | Full Profile

Companion Piece [Literature]: Shadows

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF T___T those words were running around in my head for 3 days straight... I had to get this picture out. But the pic in my head was super awesome-- I'm sorry what came out of my hands is this crap OTL

I think the only thing I like is the title, which was stolen from Maya Angelou's poem and novel, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." Alternate title: "Nightingale" after the story of the Emperor and the Nightingale.

Story behind this...
At one point, Eridian is captured and put into a noble (originally Emperor, but I don't think Voleros has any Emperors XD) harem. It was suppose to be crack, but then it became a lot more serious/angstridden. OTL /slaps

But in this case... Eri was kidnapped. Though I think the other fic was rather intense, but it seemed more like Arthur was acting like a prostitute. >_>

hmm I forgot the details of the fic but yeah he enjoys it. Or maybe he just feels safe in a relationship that's wacky.

Would you like the super deluxe or the magma? There's 10 scoops of ice-cream in the super deluxe, together with a mixture topping of caramel and chocolate, inside you have a cookie cake and a lovely amount of bananas and strawberries.

For the magma, Its a chocolate temptation with 20 scoops of chocolate ice-cream of various of types of chocolates, with more and more chocolate pieces topped all around it, whether it's your favourite Cadbury, lindt, ferrero etc etc. It's all there! Oh and did I mentioned hot chocolate as its topping?

Hur hur hur hur hur.
