Fic for [info]het_challenge!

I should have written this a month or two ago, before additional (awesome but incomplete) canon attacked. I still like how it came out a lot, but I agonized over what to do with it for a while, and it ended up more referential (and PG) than it would have been had I either had no additonal canon or all of it. ^^;

Almost a Match.
Baccano!, Claire/Chane, ~1300 words. Worksafe.
Prompt: Finding Chane in Manhattan—banter through body language, UST, building trust. Bonus for a very gradual development of a sexual relationship. Extra bonus for rooftops, railings, knives, misuse of windows, doors, curtains.

So you know how sometimes in challenges there's a call to write tide-over bits for people, and how you go "Damn, I really want to help, and there are a few requests on there I might be able to manage, but nothing's really striking me right now," and then you go away and do something else?

...And you know how sometimes, later that night, you're watching anime and you get to a scene and you're like "...Huh. Y'know, I could really go for some [pairing] right now, actually," and then you go, "Wait - wasn't one of the orphaned requests for [pairing]? I could definitely write something."

Right. That was how this went.

Written for [info]shiegra in the Valentine's round of [info]het_challenge, which I didn't actually participate in officially.

Monstrous.
Bleach, Ulquiorra/Orihime. 1000 words. Decidedly not worksafe, warning for dubious consent.
Ulquiorra is – he's not monstrous, like some of the others, not imposing in that way, but his power presses at her, like a gloved hand over her mouth.

More [info]het_challenge! One more to go! We shall see how that goes. >_>

Penelo = cradle robber?

Calculated Risk.
Final Fantasy XII, Penelo/Larsa. ~1.7k words. Worksafity is dubious.
Lust overcoming better judgment. A few years postgame.

OMG you guys it's a [info]het_challenge fic. Way to be punctual, me. (Balthier always comes through, though. Now I need to get the people in my other two stories to cooperate.)

Decompose.
Final Fantasy XII, Fran/Balthier. ~1k words, Most likely worksafe.
In Nalbina Dungeon. Established relationship. ♥

Penultimate [info]het_challenge repost.

I am... unexcited about this one. It came out okay, I think, and I do like this pairing even if I have trouble fitting anything of substance into canon. But despite Balthier being involved, the fic really wanted to be from Ashe's POV. And I don't really feel like I have a very good handle on Ashe. But, in any case:

So I'm completely failing at [info]het_challenge reposts, obviously. Still two more to go after this one.

This is probably my favorite of the round. I got two Fran/Balthier prompts, as it turned out, though I only managed to take one. This one was from SS-Sturmbannführer, who is [info]ironical_kai, and the prompt was simple: "Desire to live." (The other Balthier/Fran prompt was for genderswap, but I was doing genderswap for another prompt already, and besides, this one bunnied me more.)

The only problem with this one is that for a lot of it I kept thinking my writing felt like a sappy romance novel. I don't write romantic established-relationship fic much. ^^;

I didn't get a repost up yesterday. >_> But! Still making progress on getting these things over here, I swear!

My first [info]het_challenge piece. Well, the first one I finished. I kinda started them all and then poked at them intermittently without making much progress until I got inspired for this one, and then managed to finish it up (almost, if you want to be technical) in time for the second posting round.

This was written for Alleya, who is [info]kerrie13. The prompt was Tifa/Cid, "I will drink you." I had it in my head that it was going to be a line of Cid's, a drunken comeback - "I'll drink you" - but it was awkward a bit so it didn't actually make it in the fic. Still, the feeling is there. ^^;
