Aughasjflakj WHY ARE YOU SO BRILLIANT, OURAN, WHY; ALSO, Batman
Re-watching Ouran recently has made me, more than ever, want to write Tamaki/Kyouya, because I swear to every small god I know that that is the one most power-balanced pair of power-brokering pairs to ever broker power in the history of successful relationships.

[edit] Tiny Batdrabble, because my brain isn't working right and just comes up with these random things:
Subjunctive
173 words. Batman: Dark Victory. Bruce Wayne, and a world without Harvey Dent. Dark Victory is pretty essential here, though if you've watched The Dark Knight, it's an acceptable substitute. :D
The subjunctive is a dangerous tense; should have, it proposes, could have, also, but worse than both: ought to, and if I were.
If I were free, Bruce Wayne thinks, in the subjunctive, if I were free, if this Gotham did not need Batman, what would that be like? Liberty?
But liberty, fanciful noun, is adjectival: it describes a state, a relative position of being. It isn't Gotham that brings necessity to vigilantism; there is no door for him to open, no rite of passage. Two pictures stare down at Bruce every night from the mausoleum of the manor: there is no escape from the past. That lingers.
But, Bruce Wayne thinks, if I were free, and if I did not need Batman, what would that be like?
The subjunctive passes in history, tripping over itself and then never changing. Once gone, it endures. No escape from that either, and no more questions of if, or ought, or could, or should have.
Not in this Gotham, nor in this world without Harvey Dent.
