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.

for laylah, but mostly for myself: Viral and Rossiu
Notes: SPOILERS FOR GURREN LAGANN. The whole series. If vaguely.
( living at the office )

for laylah really: AXM boys (Graham and Ladd)
( played favorites )

for shiegra: Chane and Orihime
( too strange )

for regicidaldwarf: Mitsuru and Yoruichi
( officer's barracks )

for white_aster: Greed and Luck
Notes: proooobably later in the same continuity as the Ronnie and Greed thing from last time?
( a very important man )

for mahokiwi: Simon and Firo
( that other pretty boy )

for sheffiesharpe: Shinjiro, Akihiko, Vossler and Basch
Notes: this AU probably was vaguely related to Persona Trinity Soul... sometime in a distant past life >_>
( welcome briefing )

for calligraph: Tatsuki and Renji
Notes: this is... not actually related to anything else ever
( fit in fine )

for lassarina: Mitsuru and Akihiko
( in these dorms )

for redbird: Renji and Akihiko
Notes: c-crossover with Soul Eater? WHAT IT TOTALLY MAKES SENSE
( a weapon with spirit )

for pinstripesuit: Ronnie and Urahara
Notes: probably in the same continuity where Yoruichi's hanging around the Daily Days :3
( not a normal human )

for Allie (not on IJ still?): Yukari and Zuko
( enough firepower )

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. >_>
( brawling )

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.

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.

Summary post up late, half because the week's fics were actually finished late (well, by my rules, not the contest rules - I am supposed to try and get them up weeknights, but I am allotted one day slip for Circumstances, and thus the last one should be posted Saturday and the repost should be Sunday), half because last night was eaten by this week's fic.

As far as writing-process goes this week was more painful than painfic week. I don't know why. Clearly I fail at fluff. >_>

No warnings, except for generally likely spoilers and potential awkward prose.

Yay! Done! It was supposed to be short and quick.

This is all laylah's fault. This is what you get when you... er... mention things in my vicinity. Sometimes. >_> In any case, the bunny interrupted me from working on your actual present, so hopefully this will entertain until I manage to focus like I should on things which are already late.

...I have no prioritization skills at all, clearly. ^^; *looks askance at springkink*

~1.5k words, not worksafe for sex. Um. Potential warning for gratuitousness? The timeline is also a bit undefined; I imagine it as during a Lhusu hunt mid- to late-game, but there are no plot spoilers to speak of.

( It was easy to lose track of the hour, in the mines. )

...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 )

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 )

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. )
