And I Will Touch the Sky
In a word...: We are actually, honest to God, trying to get this one published. Therefore, it's no longer up for grabs. However, because there are sequels to it (Stained Glass Windows and The Ties That Bind, see below), we have put up some stuff to help people read what comes after it. Sorry about the inconvenience, but it's the best we can do. I would suggest reading the summary first.
Summary Character Pages
Borderline
...by Kouri
Length: 261 pages; 118,803 words.
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Some violence, child abuse, sexual abuse, psychoanalysis, fundy Christians.
Genre: Drama
In a word...: I wrote this when I first decided to be a psychology major; it's about four really messed-up kids who meet in a group therapy session and work out their Issues as well as they can, which isn't very well in some of their cases.
Fallen Into Grace
...by Kouri and Karasu
NOW COMPLETE!
Length: Currently quite short. Will be quite epic. Hey, from us, would you expect anything different?
Rated: R, possibly later chapters of NC-17
Warnings: Violence, gay, sex, thievery, demons, violence, angst, stabbystabby, torture, angst, sexual abuse, lots of other types of abuse, destruction of innocence, ritual sacrifice of virgins, angst, violence, and sex. (Does anyone even read these warnings?)
Genre: Adventure/Drama/Action/Romance
In a word...: Eheh. Uhm... angels, demons... fucked up humans... hot men... okay, this one evil demon is trying to destroy the world through his son (one of said hot men) and the whole rest of the cast is trying to stop him, with the help of some angels. God, my summaries really are terrible, aren't they. Also, we stole the title from KrystalRose, but that's okay 'cause she loves us. ^^
Fast Falls the Eventide
...by Kouri
NOW COMPLETE!
Length: Currently 80ish pages.
Rated: PG-13 for now
Warnings: Violence, suicide, and some sex *way* later than what's posted.
Genre: Drama/Romance
In a word...: For those of you who read Rowan's little journal entry, this is his story, about him trying to deal with his life and, erm, psychoses. And Neil, who is enough of a problem in his own right.
Bonus: See how anal retentive I am.
From the Shadows
...by Kouri and Karasu
...in progress
Length: Up to about 260 pages now. Go us! We write fast. ^_^
Rated: PG-13. It might be R later, but I'm not sure.
Warnings: Violence, homosexuality, child abuse, weird magic shit, insanity.
Genre: Drama/Adventure
In a word...: Uhm... take one insane empath, one half-werewolf, one bitchy witch, and one magically beloved basketball player, toss them all in high school together, add a villain, stir, mix well, and you have this story. Not as weird as it sounds. Oh, who the hell am I kidding? It's as weird as it sounds.
Nothing But Death
...by Kouri and Karasu
...in progress
Length: This is a collection of shorts, currently about 20 pages, but it'll get longer.
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Insanity and profanity. Look, it rhymes ^_^
Genre: Humor/Adventure
In a word...: This is a collection of shorts -- some shorter than a page -- drawn from the trip Karasu and I took this summer. Sixteen days total, four of them on a bus. We got more weird stories from this than you'd believe. We've been told they're very funny.
Bonus: To make things easier on ourselves, we used our real first names in this story. So if you read this, you'll know our real names, but to make things more fun, we never put which one of us is which ^_~
Separate Selves
...by Kouri
....NOW COMPLETE!
Length: 553 pages; 251,547 words. (Yeah, you don't need to tell *me* it's long and scary.)
Rated: R. Very R.
Warnings: Child abuse, spouse abuse, homosexual relations, rape, weirdity, profanity.
Genre: Drama/Adventure/Romance/Fantasy
In a word...: There's no good way to sum this up, but I'll give it a go. Bunch of friends + mysteious new kid + strange new world + parallel dimensions = Issues = this story.
Story Character Guide
Stained Glass Windows
...by Karasu and Kouri
...NOW COMPLETE!!
Length: 391 pages, in the end.
Rated: Does one sex scene really make an NC-17?
Warnings: Specifically? Homosexual relations, child abuse and neglect, BDSM themes. Er, toss some sexual abuse into that.
Genre: Drama/Romance/Humor
In a word...: The sequel to Touch the Sky. Yay. But not what you think. ^_~
The End
...by Kouri
Length: 267 pages; 91,885 words
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Doom, destruction, suicide, alcohol.
Genre: Drama/Adventure
In a word...: Angels, demons, the Apocalypse, and four teenagers who are far more than they seem. Enough said.
Story Character Guide
The Ties That Bind
...by Kouri and Karasu
...in progress
Length: Let's just say long, okay? Though it's not yet... it will be.
Rated: R
Warnings: Let's see... not much sex, actually. All the stuff from TtS and SGW, plus lots of angst, depression, murder, and the fact that one of the main characters Never Shuts Up.
Genre: Drama... and a bit of mystery, actually.
In a word...: Okay, you guessed it. We decided to be complete idiots and actually turn this into a series. (Actually, that was planned when we started Windows. We just didn't tell anyone.) This is the sequel to Touch the Sky and Stained Glass Windows. It involves a new kid, a murdered parent, and quite possibly the mouthiest little prick on earth, who challenges Nicky to a battle of wits. ...okay, that's the longest summary on the whole page, so I'm shutting up now.
When You Were Mine
...by Kouri
Length: 700 something. ::sweatdrops hugely::
Rated: R. There may be some stuff that's more than R, but not yet.
Warnings: Homosexuality, rape, abuse, incest, profanity, sarcasm.
Genre: Drama/Romance
In a word...: I decided that Ashes was too cool to be a fanfic and screwed everyone's characters around, and somehow ended up with this. The storyline will have similarities, but not be the same. If you haven't read Ashes, here's a summary: take a bunch of really fucked up people and see who ends up sleeping with who.
