See, I haven't forgotten about those personal challenges! :P If you'd like to give me a specialized request, please see this thread for details.
Title: Tainted Purity
Rating: X
Warnings: Violence, rape, character death
Word Count: 7605
Summary: She was his angel, his innocent, his beautiful purebred saint. He was her worst nightmare made flesh, one from which she could never escape.
Author’s Note: Written fordreaming_trees, who requested “Naraku/Kikyo” during my call for challenges.
This is actually a bit of a special case for my "By Request" collection. The rating and content leave me comfortable with only posting the piece at Media Miner, so you can click here to read the story. Because of its length, and the extended warnings I felt befitted the content, its posted separately from my "By Request" collection.
It seems like, with every darker piece of fic that I write, I keep saying, "This is the darkest thing I've ever written. This is the darkest thing I've ever written." Well, nothing I've produced and shared thus far holds a candle to this piece. It was an interesting, gut-wrenching, and strangely empowering experience, to write about things that personally disgust or horrify me.
I'm a firm believer that darkfic is good for the soul, and hopefully getting this out of my head will allow lighter fare to take up residence.
This was written after a two-day binge on 48 Hours Mystery and Most Evil, sparked by accounts of the Kissel murders. Thank Jeebus for streaming video to feed curiosity, and my muses.

no subject
Indeed, not. Though this ending wasn't the original one I had in mind, even that one was not what you'd consider happy. No, cycles like these never truly end, not the way we hope or wish they will.
It was tough to fight against my natural instincts for a hopeful ending, but very worth it. Catharsis through fiction, I can dig it :P
And great job with a totally depraved villain--sick, evil, unredeemable.
Thanks! It wasn't terribly hard to weave his character, even if I committed to paper acts I personally find reprehensible in the process. that's part of the reason I left some of the details ambiguous, and allowed the reader to fill in their own thoughts on what cruel, depraved things he was doing - its different for everyone, and I think that helps strengthen his character, to make him malleable, in that sense.
