I had this idea a while back, but it wants to be a massive plot-bunny and I'm not ready to tackle it yet...
I did type up the basic/general/tip-of-the-iceberg ideas though (without going into all the details I had in mind), so I wouldn't forget if/when I'm ready to try such a project.  I got to thinking about it, and I'm wondering if it would make a good challenge the way it is; maybe submitting it to Granger Enchanted or the Petulant Poetess and letting other fic authors take a crack at it...

So, here's the idea.  Let me know what you think:  Good idea?  Would it work as a challenge?  Is there somewhere else I should submit the idea maybe?  Or, does it really just belong in the rubbish bin?

Title: He Knows He's Obsessed

Summary: He has an unhealthy obsession for her; he knows it; but he just doesn't care. (A simple one-shot ficlet.)

A/N:  This was written with two fandoms and particular pairings in mind (but I'm sure it'll fit others as well). I had noticed many similarities between the characters and wondered if I could show what (might) be going on behind the scenes and be able to make it work, in canon, for both. For Harry Potter it was Draco/Hermione, and for InuYasha it was Sesshomaru/Kagome.

Disclaimer: No. I'm not British, Japanese, or male. That pretty much covers anything I might consider writing fan fiction about.

(Chapter title: Obsession)

---***---***---***---

He watches her obsessively from the shadows, but only when no one else can observe what he's doing. At times, when duties or circumstances keep him away from her too long (like an addict in need of a fix), he comes out of the shadows to confront her in person. Luckily, or unluckily as the case may be, she is rarely alone. This allows him to get closer to her than he would otherwise permit himself with the convenient cover of insulting, attacking, or abusing in general her companions (and *him* in particular). They are much too close to her for his taste, and therefore deserve all the punishment he can dish out.

Of course, she being who she is can never stay on the sidelines when one she cares for is in danger (just look at how many times she has been injured or nearly killed over that fool), so she will doubtlessly intervene. And this is where the junkie gets his fix: a verbal spar here, some threatening gestures there, perhaps in the heat of the moment he may even touch her (saying afterwards how disgusting he found it, of course); but after these encounters he always leaves on a high – no matter how badly injured or insulted he may be.

After such meetings he can return to the shadows for months at a time, satisfied, until the urge to see her becomes a hunger too great to hide and he is off to 'confront his enemies' once again.
