| I need to learn to keep a normal schedule; mildly intoxicated drabbles |
| Public |

So! Today was interesting. A brief overview:
Last night, 2am: Lying in bed awake, I get a call. Shortly my project partner arrives, and we begin our final project writeup. (Due today. My last thing for undergrad, ever.)
Last night, 4am: Project partner leaves; writeup is not finished. Plans are made to meet again in the morning to finish it up before his 12:30pm final.
Last night, 6am: I eventually get to sleep.
This morning, 9am: I wake up!
This morning, 9:45am: Project writeup work resumes.
This afternoon, 12:20pm: Project writeup completed and turned in!
This afternoon, 1pm: I go back to sleep.
This afternoon, 5pm: I wake back up. Food, laundry, etc., commences.
Tonight, 10pm: I head off to a graduation party with old housemates!
Tonight, 2am: I arrive back at my house.
There's clearly only one thing to do at that point. ...What, sleep? No! Silly.
...write drabbles! Er. Of course.
These are bits from ideas on my things to keep in mind list, and hopefully someday at least some of them will become full-length fics. Bonus points (though not lots of bonus points) for identifying which one each comes from. No guarantees of quality, as I am still at least mildly tipsy.
Death Note: a drabble and a drabble-and-a-half. Assume spoilers though chapter 58 / episode 25 for safety.
( Genius was important )
( Four days. )
FF12/Magna Carta: one drabble. Spoilerfree.
( You're new. )
FF12: three drabbles, highly speculative all. Minor Fran backstory spoilers in #1, otherwise spoilerfree.
( other voices rose )
( the device )
( more like a suggestion )

Last ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) springkink repost, and then I move on to ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) het_challenge. (Reposting stuff is likely not terribly exciting for you all, I know, but I want to have everything here for completeness and on the off chance the communities crash and die or something.)
...This is probably the one that intimidated me the most, because my FFVII fandomship is much more skewed towards reading than writing, and people I admire greatly write Turks better than I think I ever could. That being said, I wanted to give it a try. And I did enjoy writing this. But rereading anything from this last batch of fic is still giving me an "urrgh" feeling, so I doubt I can give an objective assessment of quality.
Prompt: Final Fantasy VII, Reno/Rude: Intoxication - "long time coming"

Another springkink repost. This is the longest of them. It... well. Without spoiling anything: I love L/Light, and there's a time in the series that's amazing yaoi-cliche, but there are also circumstances which screw up their relationship dynamic for me, and so I hadn't been able to make sex during that time work at all in my head.
That is no longer true.
The dynamic is... well, more exploitative than L/Light usually is, or at least more slanted rather than mutually exploitative. I'm going to have to reread this fic in a while - it feels kinda fragmented to me, but I really like parts of it, so I have to see if it reads smoother when it's out of my head a bit.
This is situationally-spoilery, if you're not familiar with Death Note.
Prompt: Death Note, L/Light: Blindfold, questionable consent - 'Gods and monsters'
Originallly posted here. ~2k words, NC-17.
( I don't have to trust you. But you do have to trust me, or we won't get anywhere. )

| springkink reposts, part 1 (Bleach, FF7, FF12, FMA) |
| Public |
| [all fic], category: m/f, category: m/f/f, category: m/m, challenge: springkink, character: drace, character: envy, character: gabranth, character: greed, character: grimmjow, character: ikkaku, character: soi fong, character: ulquiorra, character: urahara, character: yoruichi, character: yumichika, fandom: bleach, fandom: final fantasy xii, fandom: fullmetal alchemist, length: 200-500 words, pairing: drace/gabranth, pairing: elena/reno, pairing: greed/envy, pairing: ikkaku/yumichika, pairing: ulquiorra/grimmjow, pairing: urahara/yoruichi/soi fong |
|
And so the week of reposts begins. These are the shorter of my springkink bits - the 6/9 that actually managed to fall (more or less) in the 100-500 word range.
I'm very "meh" about a lot of these, particularly the Bleach ones - they feel more like character explorations than dynamic fic, especially the first two. (The third is just me cheating and writing smut from Yoruichi's PoV instead of figuring out how Urahara and Soi Fong could possibly get along.) But trying new things was interesting for me, at least.
Prompt: Bleach, Ikkaku/Yumichika: fighting - ' no one's sure which one of them is crazier'
Originally posted here. ~300 words, PG.
( Gorgeous )
Prompt: Bleach, Ulquiorra/Grimmjow: Alpha males - 'Just like sin'
Originally posted here. ~300 words, PG.
( Moral Center )
Prompt: Bleach, Urahara/Yoruichi/Soi Fong: Threesome - both more interested in Yoruichi than each other
Originally posted here. ~300 words, NC-17.
( Comfortable )
Prompt: Final Fantasy VII, Elena/Reno: Dancing - "flash of light"
Originally posted here. ~300 words, PG-13.
( Rhythm )
Prompt: Final Fantasy XII, Gabranth/Drace: UST - "Swordplay"
Originally posted here. ~500 words, PG.
( Out of Practice )
Prompt: Fullmetal Alchemist, Greed/Envy: Hatesex - "We can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, or we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, but we *can't* do you love and rhetoric without the blood. The blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see."

...are here! :D D
I, uh, fought with these more than usual. Not because I didn't know what to do with them - that I could usually figure out after a few minutes - but because I didn't know how to get it across in 100 words. So! A useful exercise. Also fun. :D Hopefully also entertaining?
...pretty much all worksafe? Some of the pairings are more implied than others.
From lassarina: Magna Carta, Orha/Rianna, "building."
--If you know some of the canon but not all, this is spoilery. If you know none it probably just doesn't make sense. >_>
( a sort of understanding )
From sister_coyote: FFXII/Discworld, Ashe/Angua, what it means to have a homeland
( closer to her Queen )
From sister_coyote (again, because I am weak): FFVII/FFXII, Rude and Ba'gamnan (or Rude/Ba’gamnan), "hot pursuit"
( ah, here it comes )
From laylah: FFXII, Basch/Fran, plenty of experience
( a good man )
From lightbulby: FFVII: Advent Children, Kadaj/Tifa, "jealousy"
( completely irrational )

Er. Yeah. I wrote it.
...Man, this is so gratuitous. And so not what I should be working on, which is any of N challenge fics due soon. But I got bunnied for it hard last night, to the point that it pretty much wrote itself today, so. ♥ Balthier, I love writing you.
So, yes. ~1.5k words, not worksafe. Spoilers if you're not up to the point where you meet Jules. >->
( Close Enough for Fisticuffs )

Haven't been writing much this week, and I should really be sleeping right now - I have to get up in, ah... six hours? But there's no way sleep is happening yet. So.
The problem with being multifannish and terribly non-OTP about things is that you look at a list like this and you see five or ten different things you could write. Cough. Anyway! These are my contributions to Spren Appreciation Week (see aforementioned link)!
Three short ficbits, about 200 words each. I really have meant to write longer things for all these pairings at some point.
Bleach, Tatsuki/Orihime
( protect her )
Bleach, Renji/Ichigo
( punk troublemaker )
Samurai Champloo, Jin/Mugen
( an extension of the body )

| Birthday drabbles, part 1 |
| Public |
| [all fic], category: m/f, category: m/m, character: ashe, character: balthier, character: basch, character: gabranth, character: larsa, character: raminas, character: vossler, fandom: final fantasy xii, length: drabble, pairing: balthier/ashe, pairing: balthier/penelo, pairing: basch/vossler, pairing: gabranth/larsa |

So far I've gotten ten prompts over at my birthday drabble prompt request post! These are the first five. (Apparently by 'in batches over the next couple weeks' I meant 'half of them tonight.') I am totally copying laylah in format. ^_^
I'll be continuing to want to play with these more, so everyone feel free to leave prompts if you haven't. Or leave more if you have. I could probably finish up the rest of the ones I've gotten so far tonight, but I'm already defeating the purpose of "small things to work on in between doing homework and other productive things."
So. 5x100 words. This batch is all FF12. Surprisingly all worksafe, and surprisingly all pretty spoilerless.
Gabranth/Larsa, learning the rules. For laylah.
( still a child )
Balthier/Penelo, "target practice." For white_aster.
( not worth the time )
Balthier/Ashe, trinkets. For lassarina.
( not a courtship )
Raminas, decisions. Also for lassarina.
( the weight of a country )
Basch/Vossler, noble blood. For laylah again. ^_^
( the new captain )

Second of two yaoi_challenge fics. This one was for a request by shayheyred that read: ( situational Death Note spoilers... )
So, two possible situations, really.
Now, the first situation there is kind of ridiculously appropriate, and I've wanted to write something for it forever. However, you note that I've failed at writing it thus far, which is tragic, but I can't get the power dynamics to work right in my head. So I went with the second one instead. Which, despite the fact that it inspired a story that takes place before the characters actually, um, meet in person, felt much more natural to me. Though, as I like to say in my head, the pairing's really more like L->Light and Light/his own cleverness. ^^;
~1.5k words, very not worksafe. Masturbation, voyeurism.
( L was alone in his intent stare at the monitors. )

Back after a couple days away. Time to repost my yaoi_challenge fics, woo!
First, Magna Carta, for a request by maho_kiwi. There are a few things to be said about this one. The first is that it's pretty awesome to stick a random kind-of-crack pairing on your offer list at the last moment, and get a request saying, "Ooh! That!" ^^; It was exciting.
( Next... (gameplay spoilers for a battle a few hours in) )
Thusly, this is the one where I wrote the first 400 words the day I got the prompt. Fight scenes seem to go somewhat smoother than sex scenes, for me.
Just shy of 2k words, not particularly worksafe, but no explicit porn.
( "So, you're still alive." )

Um. Yes. I am declaring this fic done. This fic? This is what can happen if you avoid writing a fic until done with the canon. You end up having to write the same fic anyway before your brain will focus on anything else.
Takes place after you return to Rabanastre post-escape from Nalbina, no spoilers past that point. Yes, very early on. I wanted this fic then. I am not sure how I feel about Basch/Balthier in any ongoing sort of sense, but at the request of two-months-ago-me, this really needed to happen.
~2k words, not worksafe. ^^;
( Despite his grand statements, the first thing Basch did upon his return to Rabanastre was buy clothes. )

| Yaoi challenge fics - FFVII, Loz/Yazoo; Bleach, Ishida/Ichigo |
| Public |
| [all fic], category: m/m, challenge: yaoi_challenge, character: ichigo, character: ishida, character: loz, character: yazoo, fandom: bleach, fandom: final fantasy vii, length: 1k-4k words, pairing: ishida/ichigo, pairing: loz/yazoo |
|
The reveal for this round of yaoi_challenge was last night. Yay! I really like the anonymous format, and there's still a lot of fics from the last-minute rush that I still need to read. But this important part of this post is that I'm posting links to the fics that I wrote.
A Complication. FFVII:AC, Loz/Yazoo. This one was for starherd, who requested Loz/Yazoo smut, possibly with them messing with others. She also mentioned that Rude needed more love. Love is perhaps not quite what Rude gets in this, but... y'know. The first reaction I had upon seeing this one was panic that I had to write the triplets. That lasted about five seconds before I started forming ideas for a Loz/Yazoo perving-on-Rude fic. ^_^ I had a lot of fun with this one, and it was definitely stretching my comfort zone.
Some Days. Bleach, Ishida/Ichigo. For mistressrenet, who gave the prompt "Ishida and Ichigo's terrible, awful, no-good, very bad day gets a little better." No smut in this one, just fluff and snark. What was is odd is that this one was actually a lot harder to write, despite the fact that it's a pairing I'm lots more familiar with and had nothing really experimental in it. *shrug*
Overall, I enjoyed myself a lot. I did change my ad significantly for the V-day challenge based on things I learned from this round, though. I'm signed on for two fics for that one, and am really looking forward to writing them and also seeing what everyone else comes up with. ^__^

Okay, so it's completely ridiculous to post a few minutes after midnight (well, kinda midnight - technically I'm on EST here, but psh) of a deadline you set for yourself. But deadlines help me actually get things done, and the 22nd is Seifer's birthday, so that was the day I picked.
So. Yes. This is a gift fic for laylah. Apparently 'tis the season for Seifer/Zell.
~3k words, in which I invent a new instrument of bondage type of training equipment... for no apparent reason. Warning for dubcon. Also, apparently Zell makes me abuse italics.
( Seifer being obnoxious was nothing new. He was obnoxious to everyone. That was exactly the problem. )

Yeah, I know: OMG, fic? It's been so long!
The story is I went to the coffee shop where I get most of my writing done, fully intending to finish up a yaoi_challenge fic. But I wrote the fun part of that one over the weekend, and I was feeling too giddy today to make myself work on the parts of it still "required" for the fic to be "coherent." Heh. So I came back to this one! Because Raul is much fun. And I finished it up tonight, because actually finishing things is nice. Finishing things I can actually post here doubly so.
So. About 1.5k words of gratuitous Calintz/Raul smut. No, really. Completely gratuitous. And possibly more smutty than I was intending when I started it a few months ago, but that can only be good, right? :-P Note: Hardest part of Magna Carta smut = figuring out how the hell you get those clothes off.
No major plot spoilers. A few mentions of game events (boss fights and such) - if you've gotten to where Raul and Calintz meet, you're totally safe.
( Raul made it to Calintz's office ahead of him. )

Pairing: Hughes/Roy implied

For 15minuteficlets word #150.
