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.

And these are all worksafe! And mostly gen. (A few vague implications.)

for nanthimus: Aang (Avatar), and a partner from Avatar
( problem )

for ilyat: Light (Death Note), and a teammate from Bleach
( justice )

for shiegra: Orihime (Bleach), and an enemy from Baccano!
( younger and prettier )

for lassarina: Zuko (Avatar), and a rival from Final Fantasy XII
( swords )

for sheffiesharpe: Shinjiro (Persona 3), and a rival from Final Fantasy XII
( respectable )

for mahokiwi: Ryoji (Persona 3), and a best friend from Baccano!
( worry )

for laylah: Firo (Baccano!), and a roommate from Persona 3
( sparring day )

for regicidaldwarf: Yoruichi (Bleach), and a superior from Baccano!
( skills )

for sugared: Akihiko (Persona 3), and a subordinate from Persona 3
( instantly )

for white_aster: Iroh (Avatar), and a business associate from Baccano!
( same atmosphere )

for threewalls: Vossler (Final Fantasy XII), and a business associate from Final Fantasy XII
( security )

for puella_nerdii: Luck (Baccano!), and a mentor from Persona 3
( shooter )

Date: 2007-09-16 17:07 Subject: Ironman Week 4 - AU Security: Public Tags: [all fic], category: au, category: gen, category: m/f, challenge: ironman7, character: ashe, character: balthier, character: drace, character: ffamran, character: fran, character: gabranth, fandom: final fantasy xii, length: 200-500 words, length: 500-1k words, pairing: balthier/ashe, pairing: fran/balthier

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 )

Date: 2007-09-11 12:34 Subject: Ironman week 3 - Fluff Security: Public Tags: [all fic], category: m/f, category: m/m, category: m/m/m, challenge: ironman7, character: baralai, character: basch, character: gabranth, character: gippal, character: haruhi, character: nooj, character: soi fong, character: tamaki, character: vossler, character: yoruichi, fandom: bleach, fandom: final fantasy x-2, fandom: final fantasy xii, fandom: ouran host club, pairing: basch/gabranth, pairing: basch/vossler, pairing: nooj/gippal/baralai, pairing: tamaki/haruhi, pairing: yoruichi/soi fong

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.

they said our love would fade, but it gets stronger every day / they say that beauty fades, well, you're more beautiful than ever
Bleach, Yoruichi/Soi Fong. 200 words.
( Shaken )

whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am home again

we talk about it all night long / we define our moral ground / but when i crawl into your arms / everything comes tumbling down
Final Fantasy X-2, Nooj/Gippal/Baralai. 400 words.

On the continent of your skin, wandering, wandering, I could spend my life traveling the length of your body each night.

Date: 2007-05-02 18:02 Subject: springkink reposts, part 1 (Bleach, FF7, FF12, FMA) Security: Public Tags: [all fic], category: m/f, category: m/f/f, category: m/m, challenge: springkink, character: drace, character: envy, character: gabranth, character: greed, character: grimmjow, character: ikkaku, character: soi fong, character: ulquiorra, character: urahara, character: yoruichi, character: yumichika, fandom: bleach, fandom: final fantasy xii, fandom: fullmetal alchemist, length: 200-500 words, pairing: drace/gabranth, pairing: elena/reno, pairing: greed/envy, pairing: ikkaku/yumichika, pairing: ulquiorra/grimmjow, pairing: urahara/yoruichi/soi fong

And so the week of reposts begins. These are the shorter of my springkink bits - the 6/9 that actually managed to fall (more or less) in the 100-500 word range.

I'm very "meh" about a lot of these, particularly the Bleach ones - they feel more like character explorations than dynamic fic, especially the first two. (The third is just me cheating and writing smut from Yoruichi's PoV instead of figuring out how Urahara and Soi Fong could possibly get along.) But trying new things was interesting for me, at least.

Prompt: Bleach, Ikkaku/Yumichika: fighting - ' no one's sure which one of them is crazier'
Originally posted here. ~300 words, PG.
( Gorgeous )

Prompt: Bleach, Ulquiorra/Grimmjow: Alpha males - 'Just like sin'
Originally posted here. ~300 words, PG.
( Moral Center )

Prompt: Bleach, Urahara/Yoruichi/Soi Fong: Threesome - both more interested in Yoruichi than each other
Originally posted here. ~300 words, NC-17.
( Comfortable )

Prompt: Final Fantasy VII, Elena/Reno: Dancing - "flash of light"
Originally posted here. ~300 words, PG-13.
( Rhythm )

Prompt: Final Fantasy XII, Gabranth/Drace: UST - "Swordplay"
Originally posted here. ~500 words, PG.
( Out of Practice )

Prompt: Fullmetal Alchemist, Greed/Envy: Hatesex - "We can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, or we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, but we *can't* do you love and rhetoric without the blood. The blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see."

Date: 2007-02-27 00:46 Subject: Birthday drabbles, part 2 Security: Public Tags: [all fic], category: gen, category: m/f, character: aziraphale, character: crowley, character: drace, character: gabranth, character: reno, fandom: final fantasy vii, fandom: final fantasy xii, fandom: good omens, length: drabble, pairing: drace/gabranth

The rest of my drabbles so far. More multifandom than the last batch: Two more FF12, one Magna Carta, one FF7, and one Good Omens.

...My drabbles all tend to end up as character exploration. Really thinky, even the Reno one. Which isn't exactly a bad thing, but...

Someone needs to leave me some prompts for porny things. ^^;

4x100, 1x200 words, all worksafe.

Magna Carta: Agreian, duplicity. For lassarina.
SPOILERS. SPOILERS. SPOILERS. If you haven't finished Magna Carta, or nearly so, you will want to give this one a miss. For real. Just skip on down to the next cut. ^^;
( some moments )

FF12: Drace/Gabranth, small mercies. For laylah.
( more than one )

Good Omens: Aziraphale and Crowley, complementary contrasts (or, habits and quirks). For morningxstorm
For those not aware, Good Omens is an awesomely hilarious book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
This one is a double-drabble, as I am convinced it is physically impossible to get a satisfying Pratchett-ramble in 100 words.
( polar opposites )

FF12: Drace, swordweight, heavy tread. For sister_coyote
( lightweight )

FF7: Reno, crazy bright. Also for sister_coyote
( his arena )

Aaand, as always, my icons seem insufficient, as I have icons for exactly none of the characters represented in this post.

Date: 2007-02-22 22:09 Subject: Birthday drabbles, part 1 Security: Public Tags: [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 )
