Taiyou no Ie

What happens if home is not a place, but a person?

Wandering about tumblr has led me to try a lot of new things, and one of these was Taiyou no Ie (House of the Sun). I saw a panel with a really impactful line about loneliness, and decided to check the manga out.

I ended up staying for the story. It's rare that a manga so focused on romance also tries to tackle other issues. In this case, it's about how the separation of a family, whether due to death or divorce, can mess up a family and how each of the members define their home after that.

The series is on Mangafox if you want to check it out. I highly recommend it!

Madoka Magica - Oneshot: Lay Your Weary Head to Rest

There are some fics that hit you in the gut, and just continue after that. idella's fic, Sea Legs does just exactly that, and it's a plausible and awesome continuation from canon.

It seemed that the fic was knocking around my head for longer than I expected, because I found this in my 750 words archives. So I'd thought I'd edit and post it for my own enjoyment.
