This is an epic (or at least it has felt like one) fanfic in the making. Almost all of it has been written but due to other conflicts (job, school, etc.) I haven't been able to type everything up.

The story is tied heavily into the timeline of the original series (no Gluhen here, folks), with a few minor changes. It begins right around the start of the second season and continues until the end of the series, so there are spoilers galore. It is mainly a Schuldich/Yohji fic but because I'm a sap for happy couples, there are other pairings in the story. The title was borrowed from a Depeche Mode song (lyrics are below) that heavily influenced much of the writing and has basically become the theme for Schuldich and Yohji.

Because of this site's new rules about posting sexual scenes, this story has its own website, which you can reach through this link: (adding a period after "angelfire) or via the link to the homepage listed in my profile. I don't usually write NC-17, but I don't know how lenient they're being about R-rated stories. Parts 5 and 6 are available exclusively at the other site.

Update as of 1/17/09 - Happy new year! Again, sorry for the wait but here is Part 8! For whatever reason, when I uploaded this time, the old formats seemed to work, but if there are typos or errors I apologize. I can never seem to get things formatted the same way twice so I encourage you to check out the website (as poorly crafted as it is) to see the story in all its glory.

All the love in the world to Surichan, my dearest friend and beta. And remember, feedback is always welcome! :smiles innocently:

"It's No Good" is dedicated to Amanda Fleetwood, who contributed so much but didn't get to see it finished. I'm sorry I didn't write faster, Little One.

"It's No Good"

by Depeche Mode

I'm going to take my time.

I have all the time in the world

To make you mine.

It is written in the stars above.

The gods decree

You'll be right here by my side.

Right next to me

You can run but you cannot hide.

Don't say you want me,

Don't say you need me,

Don't say you love me,

It's understood.

Don't say you're happy,

Out there without me,

I know you can't be,

Cause it's no good.

I'll be fine.

I'll be waiting patiently

Till you see the signs

And come running to my open arms.

When will you realize?

Do we have to wait till our worlds collide?

Open up your eyes,

You can't turn back the tide

Don't say you want me,

Don't say you need me,

Don't say you love me,

It's understood.

Don't say you're happy,

Out there without me,

I know you can't be,

Cause it's no good.

I'm going to take my time.

I have all the time in the world

To make you mine.

It is written in the stars above...
