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 )

Haven't been writing much this week, and I should really be sleeping right now - I have to get up in, ah... six hours? But there's no way sleep is happening yet. So.

The problem with being multifannish and terribly non-OTP about things is that you look at a list like this and you see five or ten different things you could write. Cough. Anyway! These are my contributions to Spren Appreciation Week (see aforementioned link)!

Three short ficbits, about 200 words each. I really have meant to write longer things for all these pairings at some point.

Bleach, Tatsuki/Orihime
( protect her )

Bleach, Renji/Ichigo
( punk troublemaker )

Samurai Champloo, Jin/Mugen
( an extension of the body )
