My personal fav.s are:
Offer still open indefinitely: Throw me a character name or two!
What I wrote yesterday (3 X 100 words):
- The last dream Dog had [Good Omens]
- Four people Chekov never fell in love with, and one person he did [Star Trek: XI]
<-- Awkward sentence construction is awkward.
- Three facts about Spock from my personal canon/fanon [Star Trek: XI]
No Kirk/Spock yet because they're 100 words each. I'm a drabble writer, not a miracle worker. (Except if I skip several years ahead in the timeline, I suppose.)

The Happy Princess (Love-lies-in-tragedy Remix) [Death Note, Rem, Misa, G]
Jun. 28th, 2009 | 11:14 pm
mood:
The mirror has two faces.
“Once upon a time, there was a death god who religiously watched over a human princess—”
“The princess is a symbol. She is indispensable to him (And to me). He loves her (I love you, Misa).”
“He died for her (As I would die for you). That’s why his notebook belongs to her (Do you want to do this? Throw half your life away in exchange for dead eyes).”
“He (I) would have wanted her to live a happy life (Not a half life, never a half life).”
Story ended: Rem died years ago.
“I wouldn’t lie to you.”
Remix of
lye_tea's Fairytale Floss for
remixthedrabble. I like how this one turned out; I basically lifted phrases from the original and changed the context. The original phrases refer to Light/Misa, Misa & Ryuuk etc., but I turned it around, changed the speaker and the story =3
This is...sort of technically pre-femmeslash, I guess?
In Death Note, after the epic Kira/L awesomeness, the OMGSoObvious pairing is Rem/Misa.

Summary: Radical AU. An alternate world without a federation. Nyota Uhura is a scary BAMF with an even more terrifying matched set of hunting hounds on her leash.

Real Spock and Kirk don't even have to show up, but bonus points if they all meet up at some point and the crew is equally horrified and turned on/shocked by the all that sexy evilness. Let alone the fact that Kirk and Spock are together.

The Durmstrang Letter (Another Place Remix) [Ron Weasley, 100 Words, G]
Jun. 24th, 2009 | 05:31 pm
mood:
=)
Ron would never admit this to anyone, not Harry and certainly not Hermione, but when he was ten he wrote a letter asking for admission to Durmstrang.
He never did send the letter. When the twins scared him with Giant Squid stories, he would picture that letter, tucked away in a chest under his bed with his old teddy.
Once sorted into Gryffindor, he forgot all about the letter until the Durmstrang delegation arrived for the Triwizard tournament.
He wouldn't trade his friendship with Harry for anything, but just imagine: he could've gone to the same school as Viktor Krum!
Remix of
velvetmouse's The Letter for
remixthedrabble. Audienced by

BTW, I think I'll actually enjoy the Ron/Lavender moments in HBP. Remember when your girlfriend would whine about wanting a boyfriend, because they want to feel cherished, etc. etc.? Yeah, getting those vibes from Lavender here.
- Hermione angsting over clueless Ron
- The Liar, the Underage Wizard and the Cabinet =D
- Luna looks even more otherworldly, if that's possible Love the peeling "Slide to open" sticker.

Golden Children (Arthur & dragon gen, PG, 100 words)
Jun. 23rd, 2009 | 05:53 pm
mood:
...
When Arthur was six, he faced down a dragon with a wooden sword.
The dragon (a monster as big as a mountain!) took one look at his toy sword and snorted.
"You don't scare me, dragon! Knights always kill the monsters in the end!"
"Prince Arthur Pendragon," the dragon said, as if Arthur had not spoken. "The world will kill and eat you. But not if you eat the heart of the world first."
Arthur frowned. The dragon wasn’t following the storyline.
"Two golden children sharing one destiny."
In the morning, he would think that it was all a dream.
Answers

The dragon's prophecy is inspired by Sylvia Plath's poem "Mary's Song" ("O golden child the world will kill and eat.")

A Prince's Favour (The Rights of Possession Remix) [implied Arthur/Merlin & Uther/Merlin, PG-13]
Jun. 22nd, 2009 | 05:27 pm
mood:
...
“A prince’s favour is a precious commodity,” his father once told him before taking his favourite horse away.
Arthur had taken the lesson to heart, doling out equal camaraderie to noblemen’s sons and equal flattery to their daughters.
Except he had slipped horribly—over Merlin, of all people—and it was no use to protest that he’s mine or you gave him to me, because he had not forgotten that Apple was a present when he turned seven.
His father had no rights on his manservant (his friend, his favourite), and still he left marks of possession on Merlin’s skin.

"I shouldn't have kissed you."
"Sorry?"
"I'm sometimes bad at receiving other people's signals. Not as bad as you, obviously—"
Merlin gave Gwen a confused little smile.
"And with what you said about Prince Arthur last night, I realized you only feel that way for one man in particular."
He opened his mouth to ask What way?, but Gwen went on, "I'm glad we can be friends."
She was looking at him with a painfully earnest expression, and he couldn't bring himself to correct her—that this was not the secret that he was keeping from her.

Of all the barely legal men out there, why did he fixate on the headmaster’s son?
Arthur was a good student who didn’t give the staff any trouble. Except for his Literature teacher.
On Tuesdays, Merlin always wore long jackets, because Arthur would be right there with his pouty lips and pen-biting.
Today, Arthur had stayed behind and ambushed Merlin with a kiss. Of course, the headmaster just happened to wander by.
Lifting guilty hands from Arthur’s shoulders—to push him away, not clutch him closer—Merlin contemplated throwing himself out the midget-sized window.
“What is the meaning of this?”

ayes_sid gave me the prompt: Merlin/Arthur, Uther finds out and there's no way out for Merlin. She didn’t say I can’t write a ModernDay!AU, so =P
In other news, people should go check out
cliche_bingo, a multi-fandom challenge (no deadline, min. 500 words for fic, you can do recs/fanarts/icons instead, etc.) Will make a proper pimping post later, although they really don't need it.

1. "Blue-eyed Stranger" (Merlin/Arthur reincarnation, PG, 100 words)
Not another reincarnation AU, you say?
Oh, there'll be many more =P
As I mused to
sophinisba earlier: I think my AU love stems from my fascination with the idea of time travel, parallel worlds and reincarnation ever since I was a wee child watching Quantum Leap. Or possibly earlier than that.

Blue-eyed Stranger (Merlin/Arthur reincarnation, PG, 100 words)
Jun. 17th, 2009 | 08:05 am
mood:
Gaius is an evil taskmaster.
Merlin desperately wanted to believe him.
This blue-eyed stranger who walked to him and introduced himself as Arthur ("My Merlin. I've been looking for you for entire lifetimes") with a fond, intimate look in his eyes.
This golden-haired man who spoke of destinies intertwined ("Our love transcends all time; we've seen seas rising, and we’ll see the earth breaking apart") with a solemn expression on his face.
This young man who gave him pretty words ("You'll always be my Merlin, and I'll always be your Arthur") delivered through warm breath and soft kissable lips.
Merlin desperately wanted to believe him.
Answers
merlin100's time prompt &
writing_game's prompt: End your drabble with the same sentence you started it with.
A/N: Deliberate grammar mistakes are deliberate. Not sure if this structure works; feels a bit clunky to me.
P.S. This isn't the one with the summary: Arthur thought he had found his Merlin, but did he? Meanwhile, "Merlin" didn't seem to be gaining his memories anytime soon.
Still writing that one, albeit at a doped up snail's pace.

[Non-spoilery] The Demon's Lexicon flailing
Jun. 13th, 2009 | 03:50 pm
mood:
"...Nick drew Alan closer."
ETA 06/14/09: SPOILERS in the comments. Proceed with caution.
1 a. YES YES I got almost everything right AHAHAHAHA >=D
1 b. Finished The Demon's Lexicon yesterday; couldn't drag the reading any longer, all good things must come to an end *sulks*
2 a. Love the one easter egg
sarahtales dropped in the book =)
Suddenly made me see two of the characters in terms of Maya's HPverse.
2 b. I'm not the onlycrazy fan who contemplated the possibility of a TDL/FMA x-over/pastiche, yeah? Just think: homunculus, the philosopher's stone and automail in TDL-verse. *whimpers at the thought of Alan outfitted with automail*
2 c. There are ENDLESS pairing possibilities between Nick/Alan/Mae/Jamie. Nick/Alan, Nick/Mae, Alan/Mae, Nick/Mae/Alan, Nick/Jamie, Alan/Jamie, Nick/Alan/Jamie...you catch my drift.
3 a. Love how the second and third book will come out in 2010 and 2011 YESSSS \o/
3 b. This would mean me spending $45+ every year for the series. (~$30 for the Japanese translation and ~$15 for the UK cover.)
3 c. I need to buy a book cover for the uber-pretty Japanese translation.
4. Only had five hours of half-sleep this morning (criminally low number for me). Kept on having vague dreams/impressions about Nick. And possibly [SPOILERY main antagonist's name].
5. If I use random Japanese The Demon's Lexicon quotes for my post subjects, that won't be spoilerific to you guys, will it?
If any Japanese readers on my F-list want to read TDL and haven't, please let me know now.

hollycomb's Sulu/Chekov fics, which I'm totally all over, once I get over the reflexive tic of "Hikaru no Go! Touya Akira!" whenever I read Chekov calling Sulu "Hikaru" ^^;;
If you only have time to read two, read the first two. If you only have time to read one, read "Space Sickness."

“Do I really have to come out to my parents?” He wheedled.
“If you want this relationship to work, then yes.” Of course his boyfriend would prove unmovable on the subject.
Al pouted. “Why aren’t you the one panicking? Being the sole Malfoy heir and all that.”
Scorpius lowered his glasses and gave him a look. “Unlike your parents, my parents were perceptive enough to guess that I’m gay back in fourth year.”
Al blanched. “You mean—”
“When my dad said, ‘I’m glad my son has you to take care of him,’ he didn’t mean it platonically,” Scorpius said.

mood:
eh.
"'He' was a girl!" were the first words out of Draco’s mouth when he returned from his Prefect rounds near the greenhouses.
Pansy couldn't help it; she broke into giggles over Draco's flabbergasted expression.
Under Draco's reproachful glare, she finally got herself together and asked, "Who are you talking about, and how did you find out this fascinating information?"
He tried to fake nonchalance, but the blush across his cheekbones was unmistakable. "It’s that quiet Ravenclaw Fifth Year who smiles a lot. We were walking past the rose garden, and this vine came out of nowhere and tripped me—"
A/N: Su Li is my fav. androgynous HP character (Well okay s/he is the only one left after the Zabini option is no longer available =P).

In other news, even though Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) is a cheap, loli-shota knock-off of Kaori Yuki's Count Cain, I did enjoy the Bengali Prince arc, because no manga is complete without SURPRIZE appearance of South Asian/Middle Eastern/teeny European Kingdom royalty.
Also, can't help but be amused by the American chef (An American chef in a British household? lololol).
Okay, I lie, my fav. character is still the Bengali prince's servant.

"You worry too much, Mother," Draco murmured. "Things will work out, you'll see."
Narcissa grasped her son's hand in hers. "But you are sure this is what you want?"
He looked at her steadily. "Yes, this is what I want. Being with Harry, spending the rest of my life with him, it wasn’t a decision that either of us took lightly. I know it's not what you and Father have in mind for me, but—"
Narcissa's expression softened. "Oh Draco. As long as you're happy, I'll always support your decision."
