Personal Note: Argh!

Something is digging up my windowboxes full of petunias, and I am PEEVED. What eats petunia roots? (It can't possibly be someone concocting hair tonic, can it?) Why doesn't he/she/it/they go and eat the mulberries that are dropping cornucopically from the tree not ten feet away? Come on, Mysterious Petunia-Root-Eating Monster, clean the walk for me. Who doesn't like sweet, juicy, pesticide-free mulberries? Mmm, see? Delicious.

Fanfiction: Home Is Where the Heart Is (Princess Tutu)

Title: Drabble: Home Is Where the Heart Is
Fandom: Princess Tutu (anime version)
Character(s): Mytho, Charon
Pairing(s): None
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Warnings: Spoilers for the premise of episodes 14 and following.
A/N: Every once in a while my imagination presents me with undeniable evidence that I'm all too able to make the sympathetic leap into the mind of a villain. True cruelty isn't always about guts and gore; sometimes it's about quietly maneuvering people into untenable situations and watching them writhe. Or about love -- which, as John Le Carré has said, is whatever you can still betray. Crossposted from nebroadwe to princesstutu and tutufic.
Dedication: Still for fmanalyst, though perhaps less blithely this time.
