Oh dear... this sounds a bit ominous. I wonder what that pause was ... a stray memory? A thought that "Wait, Nora worked with Evil Trace?"

Flora's nervous, and probably rightly so. Trace is probably expecting a little trouble. He doesn't want to Flora at ground-zero if he has to go scary-Trace...

----- ----- -----

Heh. Trace talks Nora into leaving them alone. Nora's flying away... "Oh, wait, I forgot to undo that illusion... ah well, I'm sure they'll figure out how..."

----- ----- -----

A week or so later, Mike's going into heat, sitting in his room freaking out. "I'm gonna kill that Basitin!" she grumbles to herself. She sniffs a bit. "Wait, I know that smell."

Out in the hall, Keith's calmly walking past... a hand sneaks out of the crack in the door of Mike's room and grabs Keith's tail.

Keith can't help but let out a "Yip!" as his eyes widen, and he's dragged tail-first into the room. "Wha? What?" His nose flares and his eyes widen. "That smell!" Belatedly, it occurs to him that a flushed, panting, half-naked fox lady is grabbing him by the shirt. "Um... hi?"

Mike gives a half-insane grin. "Yeah, I got you now..." she pants, "What are you going to do about this?"

With an embarrassed blush, Keith can't think to say anything but "Um ... ?" as he stares at the half-naked vixen.

Mike pushes Keith up against the wall, leaning closer to him, her voice lowering to a husky growl. "You're the only one who can take care of me... You've got to help me... It's driving me crazy..."

A bead of sweat drops from Keith's brow and he gives a nervous little grin, trying to calm Mike as he says "Um? I'm... flattered? But I'm sorry, I really... I don't know... who you are?"

Her flares lightly, "Oh wow ... your scent... I" Mike's hips press up against Keith's, her muzzle presses into his neck fur as her instincts distract her. "No!" she denies her instincts, just growling it in a whisper so that only Keith can hear, though she doesn't pull back. "You have to .... you have to relieve this! I can't take it anymore!"

Keith's totally flustered, just babbling incoherently.

Mike whispers "Change me back to a guy!"

"What?"

Suddenly, Nora's head sticks in through the window. "Oh! Hey, Mike, sorry- forgot to take care of that." She exhales, a puff of steam covering Mike and Keith. When it clears, Nora's gone, and Mike is suddenly male once again.

Flora walks into the room through the still-open door. "Mike, Eric wants - "

She stops. She looks at Mike, pinning Keith up to the wall, hips pressed close, muzzle pressed into Keith's neckfur... obviously flushed and breathing hard.

She pauses, the scene processing. "KEITH!" she cries, "What about Natani? How could you do this to him?"

Keith shakes his head and pushes Mike away. "It's not what you THINK!" he cries, as he goes running after Flora.

Mike's left in his room, looking embarrassed, blushing, frustrated... hugging at his arms as he gets over the weird feelings running through his system yet. Evals leans against the door frame, arms crossed.

"Aw, man... Mike, I thought we were friends. You'll give the Basitin a peep show, spend your heat with him, but not with me?"

Mike gives a Evals a murderous glare. "Die. Slowly."

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Oh god, Kryss. That.....was totally hot. And for all the wrong/right/I'm not sure what reasons. Just how long did it take you to come up with that? Man, that would be the ultimate Keith/Mike/Female Mike fanservice, no?

( blushes softly )

Well, I had the concept that an in-heat Mike had to grab Keith by the tail months ago - Keith's gotten grabbed by the tail by every other in-heat female...

But the rest of this, just about 5 or 10 minutes this morning. Maybe 15. It occurred to me after I started writing the post - I though, "Trace doesn't like Nora being there." Then I thought, "He's going to try to make her go away." And then "If she goes away, then Mike's kinda screwed..." And then "How could this get worse for Keith?"

I didn't quite mean it to be hot, just meant it to be... um... embarrassing to Keith. And giving Mike a hard time, as usual. Which, I suppose, means that Keith had to be subjected to female hotness to make him embarrassed... And Mike had to be hot.

I just like giving characters a hard time. *^_^*

*Chuckles*
Well, whether or not you intended it to be hot, it was supremely hot. You're not too bad at this, Kryss. So, you ever write any 2kinds fanfics?

Not 2kinds... I've got a Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic, and three chapters of an original fic, on my DA account. Working on a Teen Titans fic, and later, Harry Potter verse fic.

I go LOL at that 8)

*^_^* I'm glad to amuse.

I see 3 possible idea's as to what Trace has in mind...

1. Like kryss said, just wants to ask/tell Nora to leave for now, and avoid futher attention from say... the generals

2. He has questions he wants answears to or just wants to check out everything

And 3. is more like female fan-service that has nothing to do with Nora

Because i was asking myself "what could Trace be up to ?" and thought "did we ever get any proof that Trace actually wants to go down there ?, what if he's going to do something else?"

And then it hit me, Flora mentions the fact that Trace is Fur-less, what if he wants to change that for some reason ? (make her happy, 'excited', etc)

Like i said, completly unrelated to Nora and aimed more for female fans, but it just poped in my head (and the weird thing is, im a guy :shock: )

(And kryss's side-story with Mike in heat, that was quite hot, seriously)

Oooooo! I like this a lot! That has a lot of potential!



Well, I'm not sure he needs Nora for that... he's already been working on that, himself, all the way back in the baths.



*blushes fiercely*

It wasn't supposed to be hot, just ambiguous innuendo! *^_^* Mike's talking about having him change her back into his normal self! *^_^*

Mm.. Comic relevance before forum relevance.

The look of surprised sadness on Flora's face is terrific. I have to wonder about the way Keidran are expected to treat their mates by their culture. Flora tends to stay very close to Trace, all the time, to the point where it seems notable to me. I wonder what Trace realized in that moment of silence. Of course, there's the easy idea that he just wants to go talk to Nora and he doesn't want any of the rest of the group aware that they have a history, as they're still currently ignorant of it. You'd think that Flora'd be fine unless he's going to talk to Nora about something that Trace thinks would distress her.


Yes, but Trace also never says that he's going to see Nora. It's strongly implied, but it's not stated. Or perhaps Kurei's suggesting that he wants to brainstorm with Nora about it; Trace might have run into some problem with his transformation spells and he wants Nora's advice. I'll admit I don't find it particularly likely, but I suppose it's possible. After the bath scene with Keith and Alaric (or even Alaric's "Tell no one," considering the comments here), I'm not sure where the score lies on the cheesy/beefy scale to project the next likeliest fan service (the last scene with Mike, notably unlike previous ones, wasn't terribly fan-service-y).

Alright, now for kryss' scenario... I'm not sure I think it's 'hot' really, it's certainly got those steamy elements, and, if I do say so myself, they're very appropriately played to drive the emotional tensions of the reader. I do think it's hilariously played out to Keith's disadvantage. It's believable with his luck. Maybe you ought to try your hand a full fledged fanfic for TwoKinds, kryss. :-)

Oh, that is pretty likely, actually.



( blushes more )

Thanks, avwolf. I don't think I could, though - I have problems doing fanfics for (A) stories which aren't done yet, and still ongoing, and (B) stories which have strong coherent storylines...

For something highly episodic, it's easy to create something new to insert, but for a strong coherent storyline, it feels awkward to me to try to 'insert' something.

Trace don't seem happy anymore in the fourth panel. Maybe he fear that Lady Nora imply that he is in big trouble. She implied that there was urgent matter to do, so he can think that she come because something or really severe happen. He could also be worried that she and the basitin don't get along well.

Anyway, Trace don't need coat with a lovely keidran ready to warm him and he shouldn't make her sad again. Nothing of good happen when he does that. This attract bad luck.

Il n'y a qu'à relire les pages précédentes pour s'en rendre compte.

S.P.P.

Yeah, the 'big trouble' part is where I think he's going to tell her to go away - because he doesn't want trouble, and he thinks if he chases her away, then he can chase the trouble away with her.

I think he's more interested in why she decided to tag along rather than trying to shoo her away (as if she'd listen anyway). After all, so far as he knew, she'd left when she dropped them off. He's probably worried about what else is going to show up if Nora felt it was necessary to follow him out here, and then show herself to the Basitins in the harbor.

Or maybe he's worried that Alaric or one of the other generals is going to try something. They'd have to know about her by now, if she's been disrupting fishing. It looks like they're going to largely let her be, but Trace wouldn't know that.


:-P Yes indeed, the lucky fellow.


I dunno, it's all about building a standalone episode that doesn't affect the storyline or specifically noting that this takes things out of canon and represents a "what-if" sort of scenario, much as you did with the Sonic fanfic. Personally, I want to see a fanfic where Natani proves she's competent. After such a big deal was made about her and Zen being sent after the group, they demonstrated a remarkable incapability to think on their feet and a tendency toward panic when this didn't turn out to be as easy as they were expecting.

Oh, that's a neat idea! I could write a prequel piece with Natani and her brother training to be assassins and going on their early missions!
