FFXII fic! Like something out of the past, I know! I've had something like 3.5k words of this... forever. The Google Docs timestamp on this said I hadn't worked on it at all for exactly six months. >_>
But I thought about it today, and so I thought I'd poke at it and see if I could finish it. Because, you see - and this is the part where you all get to laugh at me - this was supposed to be ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) laylah's birthday present last year. orz
Happy day-belated birthday, laylah! Have some year-and-a-day belated bangaa porn. With bonus adventure! ^^;
Final Fantasy XII, Ba'Gamnan/Balthier. ~4k (!!!) words. Not worksafe, warning for xeno.
Balthier might not be used to all this yet, but he knows the opening to a business proposition when he hears one.

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 )

So, you guys remember forever ago, when I took prompts for kink drabbles+? Maybe? Well, these are the first batch. Three of six. The others are in progress, but I really wanted to post something with content. So.
Just this side of worksafe.
Final Fantasy XII, Basch/Vaan. UST. For nanthimus. 200 words.
...I hardly ever write Vaan, it seems like.
( hero )
Persona 3, Akihiko/Mitsuru. mental connection. For mahokiwi. 400 words.
No spoilers beyond what you learn in the first few hours of the game.
( break the link )
Bleach/Final Fantasy XII, Zaraki/Balthier. fighting as foreplay. For white_aster. 600 words.
This had no hope of being a drabble. Most of eleventh squad made it in here, somehow. Also, probably more fighting than foreplay. >_>

Don't be fooled; these are last week's fics, which I realized I hadn't reposted here yet. This week is the last week, but I still have two more fics to post this weekend before I am done, done, done.
The thing about some of these is that they were written while my brain was foggy from my cold. I'm not sure what overall effect that had - at the very least, it seemed to act like writing fics while really tired in that it took a level of apprehensive "Can I pull this off? Does this make any sense?" off my cognitive processes, so they ended up somewhat more... adventurous. ^^
Overall not worksafe; see specific warnings on each fic.

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.

Various judges, gen. 500 words. Another canon-but-slightly-different AU.

OMG you guys it's a ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) 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. ♥

My totally and completely on time 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 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 )
( 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 )

Penultimate 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:
Originally posted here. ~1k words, PG.
( 'He thinks ever and always on his own profit.' )
Post A Comment | Add to Memories | Tell a Friend | Link
So I'm completely failing at 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 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. ^^;
Originally posted here. ~2k words, NC-17. Endgame spoilers.
( One of those little tidbits of information you learned early on as a sky pirate... )

Right, reposting, reposting. If I don't remember to do this I'll never get them all up.
So! Second-to-last springkink repost. I actually like this one a lot. All my springkink pieces are experimental in some way, but at least this one I was writing Balthier, which I feel like I can do fairly comfortably, so I got to experiment with things other than the utter basics. >_> It also has possibly the widest appeal of any fic I've ever written, on a completely practical level - smut with a highly popular character with no commitment whatsoever to preferred pairing or even sexual orientation! :D Heh.
Anyway. Takes place pre-game, so no spoilers to speak of.
Prompt: Final Fantasy XII, Balthier: Masturbation - "sun, moon and stars"
Originally posted here. ~800 words, NC-17.
( Romance )
Post A Comment | Add to Memories | Tell a Friend | Link
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. >->

| Birthday drabbles, part 1 |
| Public |

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 )

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 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 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.
( "Slumming it, my lord?" )

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. )

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. )
