![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) laylah's post a few days ago made me think about drabbles. But taking prompts right now would be silly; I have plenty of fic things to finish up (and several things to start) already. ^^ And I have been making progress! Only not tonight, for I am exhausted from work. So I am contenting myself with reorganizing my header post with purpose.
...And reposting the few drabbles I managed to get done in comments, about a month ago! *cough* Apologies for not getting to everyone's prompts there; other things took over, at the time.
Overall not worksafe ^^;
Final Fantasy XII
Ashe, something with weapons. (prompt from laylah)
( the appeal of guns )
Fran/Vaan, hair pulling. (prompt from nanthimus)
( just long enough )
Fran/Basch, silence. (prompt from sheffiesharpe)
( by habit or by nature )
Kingdom Hearts ...no, I have no idea
Kairi/Namine, bondage. (prompt from jlstigman)
( lucid )
Persona 3
Mitsuru/Akihiko, gloves. (prompt from laylah)
( still dirty )

| Ironman week 5 - Humor |
| Public |
| [all fic], category: crossover, category: gen, category: m/f, challenge: ironman7, character: ashe, character: basch, character: fuu, character: ikkaku, character: jin, character: mal, character: mugen, character: raul, character: reno, character: rianna, character: river, character: rude, character: yumichika, fandom: bleach, fandom: final fantasy vii, fandom: final fantasy xii, fandom: firefly, fandom: magna carta, fandom: samurai champloo, length: 200-500 words, length: 500-1k words |

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.
( Have a Shot )
If I seem a little strange, that's because I am.
Firefly, River and the crew. 200 words.
( Spinning Clay )
I thought you might have some advice to give on how to be insensitive.
Bleach, Ikkaku & Yumichika. 200 words. Cracky, based on this.
( The World Is Not Enough )
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.
( Proper Mercenaries )
Anything passes, when you need glasses.
Samurai Champloo, Fuu, Jin and Mugen. 300 words.
( The Only Way )

| Ironman Week 4 - AU |
| Public |

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. ^^
everybody wants to rule the world
Balthier/Ashe, 400 words. A canon-but-slightly-different AU.
( Easily Divided )
you want to know one thing I advise? shoot when you see the whites of their eyes
Various judges, gen. 500 words. Another canon-but-slightly-different AU.
( A New Technology )
though the rain weighs down your wings, still the caged bird's got to sing
Drace and Fran, gen. 700 words. Prison AU.
( That Much Focus )
I drive a Rolls Royce 'cause it's good for my voice
Fran/Balthier, 900 words. Mobster AU. This one's my favorite. :D
( Enforcer )
on the screen there's a diagram of you, and the disk where I saved it holds your name / there are those who believe our love's untrue, but I still adore you all the same
Fran/Balthier, 500 words. The Fran-is-a-sentient-computer-program AU. Whut.
( Nanosecond Blink )

I have not managed to finish a fic for this round yet that came in at less than 1k words. There's still time, though, and I have three left that I haven't really started yet!
I had most of this one done weeks ago. I finished up the last bits last night, then decided that I didn't like it at all, that it was awkwardly structured and often awkwardly phrased and generally unexciting. Tonight, as I mentioned earlier, I set upon the task of tearing it apart and putting it back together so it didn't suck.
...It's better now, I think, though I do still wish I'd managed to get more action onscreen.
Also this will probably not be the last appearance of my older! independent! merchant-sailor-sky-pirate! almost-certainly-not-Revenant-Wings-compliant! Penelo.
Four Years Gone.
Final Fantasy XII, Penelo/Ashe. Probably worksafe. ~1.2k words.
For the prompt: Maturity - adult Penelo returning to her childhood home.

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:
Originally posted here. ~1k words, PG.

| Highly improbable drabbles |
| Public |
| [all fic], category: crossover, category: f/f, category: m/f, category: m/m, character: angua, character: ashe, character: ba'gamnan, character: basch, character: fran, character: kadaj, character: orha, character: rianna, character: rude, character: tifa, fandom: discworld, fandom: final fantasy vii, fandom: final fantasy xii, fandom: magna carta, length: drabble, pairing: ba'gamnan/rude, pairing: fran/basch, pairing: kadaj/tifa |

...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 )

| 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 )
