Haha, I bet you guys thought I'd completely forgotten about these! ...or possibly you guys just forgot about these yourselves. orz

After the few I did in comments, and then the break for CFUD, I'd been sort of pathologically avoiding them, which is... never a good sign for quality drabbles. But then suddenly yesterday I wanted to do them again, so I did all the rest last night and today! Don't look at me, guys. I don't even know. Maybe I should try and magically finish everything else on my list before I snap out of it.

Four of these were posted already, in comments. The other eight are new.

...Some of them stretch the 'living together' part a bit, but there's only so many ways to make that interesting in itself.

There's a lot of things I'm really happy with in here. I've been wanting to get these finished so I could post them all for weeks now. Sorry it took me so long. ^^

O hey I actually finished one of these!
..."one of these" referring both to [info]no_true_pair fic (I have three more in progress still) and 201X corporate AU fic (I have a [info]kinkfest thing in progress that makes very little sense without this part). As well as fic in general, I suppose. It has been a while. ^^;

Although this is technically corporate AU, there is very little "corporate" in this part - just Firo and Akihiko in college.
Although later they both intern with the Kirijo Group. :D

Maintaining Appearances.
Baccano!/Persona 3, Firo & Akihiko (gen, or potentially UST), ~1k words. Worksafe.
Prompt: Akihiko and Firo play a game or sport together.

Ficbit for [info]strawberry_smut, who stumped me with a quote from an old Death Note drabble. ^_^ Pulled up here instead of in comments because it is spoilery like woah and I like to keep such things confined behind obvious cuts when I can.

So.

Death Note, L, 275 words. Gen, or L->Light if you're looking, but not any moreso than the series itself.
Spoilers through episode 25 / chapter 58. (Anime continuity, particularly, in that it references a scene that wasn't in the manga.)

I had really ridiculous amounts of fun with these, you guys. Probably my favorite set of drabbles I've done. You may see this or a similar format again.

...There's really no good way to organize these by fandom, though, since 9/12 of them are crossovers. So I'm just putting them in the order they were in the prompt post.

Subject: Fic: Like a Persona Rising (Yuletide Part 1)
Security: Public
Tags:[all fic], category: gen, character: aigis, fandom: persona 3

My assigned Yuletide story, for koanju. It was an adventure; I wasn't anywhere close to finishing Persona 3 when I submitted my offer to write for it (a risk, I knew, but I figured I could get through it in time if necessary). In fact, I finished the game less than a week before the Yuletide deadline.

I think my only real problem with this is that I had a vision much too grand for the time I had to finish the fic. I got a good start - some cool ideas, some chunks of decent prose - down one night. The problem was that night was the night of the 18th, and the fic was due the next day, in which I only had a few hours to finish it. >_>

...I think it came out kind of neat, though I think I still would have preferred another few days or so to write a bit more and hack and edit. ^^;

Persona 3, Aigis gen. ~1k words, worksafe. Spoilers through the December 2 full moon.

The hardest week yet! Harder than angst week, harder still than fluff week. Humor on demand five days a week is killer. -_-

The other problem, which I realized the other night, is that it's also particularly hard when the pieces are short. When you only have 200 or so words, there's not much space for anything more than a short buildup and a punchline. And if the punchline fails, it's not particularly funny. With longer things you can throw in lots of snarky comments and smaller funny things, and even if some of them fall flat you can still achieve overall funniness. ...But it's hard for me to write that many words between 9pm and midnight on the day I need to post something, particularly when the first hour is often spent going "Dammitdammit, what can I write?" >_> Sunday's was posted at 11:57pm, and that was safely early compared to Saturday's, which made it in at 11:59:46 or so.

Anyway. Another odd set of fandoms this week, which I once more blame on the genre. All worksafe (in fact mostly gen), no spoilers to speak of.

I can't picture you with him, his future looks awful dim.
FFVII, Reno, with Rude->Tifa and perhaps hints of Reno->Rude. 600 words.

If I seem a little strange, that's because I am.

I thought you might have some advice to give on how to be insensitive.

Anything is possible with a little love and a pretty face and some time to waste.
Magna Carta/FFXII, Raul, Rianna, Basch and Ashe. 400 words.

My ironman fics this week came to 3k words total, you guys. I don't know how this happened - I fail at writing AUs! I think my category: au tag has exactly one other thing in it at this point. I guess I have a tendency to want all the details before I write something. And most of the time that means I never write anything AU, and for these it just meant that I tried to hash out the environment more than I probably needed to.

Also, to aid in ideas by restricting the field of possibilities - and also because I am paranoid about keeping characters recognizable - these are all FF12, and in fact are basically Fran and Balthier Do Everything. ^^

Balthier/Ashe, 400 words. A canon-but-slightly-different AU.

This... is a really weird set of stuff. Not objectively weird - okay, maybe the Light/Mikami one is objectively weird - but weird for me. I mean, the prompts screamed at me for most of these, but seriously: FF8, it's been nine months since the one time I wrote it before. Death Note is a bit more standard except that they're both late-series, which I haven't written and had no plans to. FMA - it's been a while and it intimidates me. House I have no excuse other than that I've been watching it and it was hard to come up with another idea around kittens.

I guess we'll see next week if the weirdness is because of the format or just because of it being the Week of Woe. Anyway, it made it probably a good thing that I didn't set myself a list of fandoms to write. As it turned out, my only extra rule for myself is that I must write in multiples of 100 words.

All ficbits carry warnings for woe, probable spoilers and possible rough writing.

The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall, and with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost.
Final Fantasy 8, Zell->Squall. 400 words.
Something Dear )

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath.
Fullmetal Alchemist, Martel (and Law, Dorochet). 300 words.
Stone Cold )

Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.
House MD, Cameron->House. 100 words.
What did you expect )

Ain't it hard when you discover that, he wasn't really where it's at, after he took from you everything he could steal. How does it feel?
Death Note, Light/Misa. (Or probably really Misa->Light.) 200 words.
Give Up )

All of this temptation, you know it's turned my faith to lies. Till I couldn't see the danger, or hear the rising tide.
Death Note cyberpunk AU. Light/Mikami. 500 words. (And probably not the same Death Note cyberpunk AU as I'm writing for y_c. ^^;)

My totally and completely on time [info]gen_challenge fic. ^^;

This was originally meant to have more things happening in it, I think. It was definitely meant to be in Vaan's POV. But writing it that way was proceeding like a rock, so I let Balthier have a go at it. Balthier informs me he can go on for hundreds of words about airship mechanics anytime. ^^

For [info]sister_coyote's prompt: What it means to be a sky pirate -- the glorious and the inglorious. Ideally with a Vaan and Penelo who are naive and inexperienced but not completely clueless. Focus on the unromantic skills necessary (mechanics and so on) is nice, too. Optional additional prompt: one part daring, one part economics, and two parts engineering.

Worksafe, at most PG. (Gen, of course.)

Balthier almost didn't notice the shift, for a moment. )

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 )

FF12/Magna Carta: one drabble. Spoilerfree.

The fic I wrote yesterday. I'm not sure why backstory fic for this game is so much fun, but it is.

This was inspired by a prompt I submitted to [info]gen_challenge (How Balthier "liberated" the Strahl). However, it's doesn't exactly deal with that, itself. Which is good. The idea behind submitting prompts is that other people write things for them, I hear.
And [info]laylah has claimed that one and I am sure she will do an awesome job. ♥

But yes. ~1.5k words, worksafe. Assumes knowledge of Balthier's backstory.

So. This is about half of what I wrote the other night. The other half is really me musing on Fran's history, and doesn't really fit with this nor stand alone as a story. It stays in the notebook for me to use later for other things. ^_^

So, here is the better part. Fran and Balthier's first meeting ficlet. ~600 words, worksafe. Takes place pre-game... Perhaps hints at backstory spoilers? Nothing serious.

She was in a tavern when she first saw him.  It was hard not to, of course.  He was quite deliberately courting attention. )

So it appears the [info]yuletide reveal has happened. *is on top of things, yes* Which means I shall post my fic here.

It was really interesting to write this. Outside of my usual area, obviously, but I really do like Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game series. Particularly the Shadow side series with Peter and Petra (and Bean, but I am rather indifferent towards Bean). Valentine I mostly felt I could take or leave, but after thinking about writing this for a bit I wonder why that was ever true - power plays and sociopathic tendencies, why wouldn't I like Peter and Valentine together?

I might've made them a more explicit pairing (the requester, [info]alixtii, is a fan), but... incest's not really my thing, they're underage, and my experience with writing het is somewhat lacking. Mostly that last factor was the main problem. I've been corrupted so. *grin* So this is gen. At best it's implied, if you're looking.

Valentine had always hated formal functions, in the same way she had always hated Peter. )

Hopefully the first in a series, as I attempt to use my 40-minute-each-way bus ride more creatively. Staring zombielike out windows loses some appeal after a few weeks, it seems...

Quality is not guaranteed, however, and length is constrained by how much I can successfully write in that time period. (Which depends on how bumpy the ride is. Heh.) Just trying to actually build a habit.

Believe it or not, this was originally intended to be a humor ficlet. I gave that up a few sentences in. That other ficlet is still around here somewhere, I'll see if I can sucessfully get it on paper on Monday.

There was a strange woman in Orihime's apartment. )
