Pillow Books: Zero & Hiead
Summary: Two companion poems from Hiead and Zero's points of view. Yaoi, on the limish side.
Rating: PG-13, for themes.
Disclaimer: I do not own Megami Kouhosei. Sugisaki Yukiru, Bandai, XEBEC, and the lovely individuals down at Cartoon Network's Adult Swim have dibs. But I'll happily settle for a wall scroll with the fine bishonen from GOA.
Author's Notes: Gentle Readers, first of all, thank you for reading "Quartet." To the good folks from MKML---gracias, especially to Steve Jester. To Nozomi, whose "A Death at Hand" is really crucial reading (and check out the Hiead/Zero Mailing List at Yahoo! Groups). To Cloa---I am glad you enjoyed the poems. To Cassiel Dragonflame---I'm touched. *bows* To Lanae Kou---thank you for the words of encouragement and praise. To UE-- -spasibo, tovarishch! Truly. I do plan on submitting more.poetry and (soon) prose! And I look forward to your reviews as well. And to everyone I haven't mentioned, thanks ever so.
The Pillow Book was a collection of stories and poems written in Japan, around the 10th century, by Sei Shonagon, a contemporary and rival of Lady Murasaki (both were ladies-in-waiting to different wives of the Heian-era emperor). Shonagon wrote about the escapades and trysts in the royal house.kind of an etiquette of Eros.
There's also a movie with the same title, featuring Ewan McGregor as the lover of a woman who transforms his body into a calligraphed text. (The preview features a nude McGregor presenting himself to an older man.so I recall.)
I've been toying with the idea of a prose piece involving, say, Zero walking into the room he shares with Hiead, wearing nothing but ink. Any suggestions?
Comments, critiques, praise, feedback, and flames are welcome. This is how a writer grows, after all.
Again, thank you all. Enjoy.
