fandom: ff7
rating: PG-ish? Mostly for Cid's language.
spoilers: Nothing I can see.
genre: friendship; romance (and some thin lines thereabouts.)
characters/pairings: Aeris, Cid, Cloud, Tifa ; written as an Aeris/Tifa but... Tifa's also pretty fond of Cloud, and he thinks she's awesome, in his awkward way. Cid? Cid's a fan of pretty girls. ^^
notes: written for ladyfarrell's valentine's day meme. ...also, I've never written shoujo-ai before, even as ephemeral as this is. So. ^^;;

in short: Roses and ribbons and the girls that bind them; one take on golden-saucer dates and ripple effects.

( I'll tell you a secret - I've never been much for blonds. )

Lizzy, this one's for you. ♥


for: misfire
fandom: Samurai Champloo
rating: G. ...even Mugen behaved. (!)
spoilers: Nothing I can see.
genre: General; Lizzy asked for the journey from behind Momo's eyes. Momo is a flying squirrel. So.
characters/pairings: Mugen, Jin, Fuu, Momo; mentions minor characters.

( ...and falling is like this: )

Borrowed from venefica_aura, because her formatting was convenient, and the idea too good to pass up. (...and duplicated for this journal, to give all my friends a chance. ^__^)


So.


Lots of people write the same thing, over and over. I'm guilty of it. We get into ruts, or we let our headcanon take over, or we let fanon tell us things that become just as important as canon in our heads. Sometimes we dislike characters, and we ignore them, or we write them off. Sometimes we loathe certain pairings, or we just blatantly favor other pairings. Mostly, we like to write things that we know, and things we know we are good at.

( ...and so, because change is healthy... )

series: ff7 ; AC-compliant
characters: Yuffie, Reno, (half seconds of) Aeris (kind of), Cid, and Shera.
genre: snarky fluff. C'mon. Me, writing Reno/Yuffie? ^_~
rating: pg (language.)
written for: kimouski's ff7 otp friendly war thread, which is on until Monday and AWESOME! Go, read, write, enjoy! ^^

in which there is: a blue convertible (not theirs), a compromise, some broken noses, and a curious lack of coincidence.

( ( he owes the flower girl a thank-you, at least ) )

...just something little. This started off as a drabble request and grew.

(ToS - K+ - general/surface study of politics, media, and romance - Of marriages of convenience and memorizing dance steps. And breathing, somewhere in there - he's always been good at reminding her to do that. Regal and Raine, this time.)


( once upon a time and you know what they say about birds of a feather - )

(ToS - K+ - general/introspection/experimentation - In which there is Zelos, Colette, a curious lack of eye contact, a twist on the Flanoir balcony scene, and what could be an unhappy ending. Call it the sunset before the storm.)



( you're never fully dressed without a smile... )

Named after the Rufus Wainwright song, this spun itself out at four-thirty in the morning on the first train home. Written for relares - a very, very belated birthday drabble. ♥

(zelos and seles - a reflective moment before it all; imperfect reds)

( ...'til your hair becomes a powdered wig and I become a total bastard )

..because I can. ^^ Just a thought while waiting for a train.

I know boys who walk like you -
bonelessly swaggering
to some invented beat -
inaudible or piped over pristine white headphones
keeping time with the careful slap of shoes
on the asphalt catwalk.

DRABBLE ONE :
( ff7 / ac spoilers / rufus, tifa / pg / take a walk and take him down a peg )

( fight off the lethargy )



DRABBLE TWO:
( ff7 / tifa, jessie, yuffie / g / three women, two moments, and one eyelash curler )

( ever since you have been gone, it's all caffeine-free, faux-punk fatigues )



DRABBLE THREE:
( ff7 / renotifa / pg / keep your hands up or someone'll catch you by surprise )

( but none of them want to fight me (like you do) )



DRABBLE FOUR:
( tales of symphonia / zelos&sheena, lloyd, raine / pg; slight spoilers / battle plans never survive contact with the enemy )

( well, I got a mind full of wicked designs... )



DRABBLE FIVE:
( tales of symphonia / lloydpresea / g / a boy, a girl, and a sunset twice reflected in a moment after the end )

( and when they all fall down, i think you know it's you they're falling for )



DRABBLE SIX:
( veronica mars / logan, veronica / pg / young love - it's enough to make you sick. )
( thank God it's fatal )


. . . . .

sabe's scribbles: all of these were completed as part of a drabble meme between July 5-8, 2007. ^^

My knowledge of Naruto canon is wobblier than with any of my other fandoms, so there's probably artistic license being taken (Guy Gai strikes me as a house guy, for example, but...) I've had this snippet lurking around for a couple of months now and thought to air it out a little. ^__^


( naruto ; pg ; kurenai , team eight by proxy, kurenai/asuma if you squint ; character introspection ; crow's feet, orange books, house parties, and cigarette sunsets ; the first rule of illusion is believing in the lie. )

( the queen of diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able )

So far, so good? Well, maybe that's an exaggeration. Regardless ~ the icons I have made so far; they range from my Paint days to the present state as an initiate with PS7. So some are awful, but posterity has to be worth something, right?


Tales of Symphonia : 12
FF7 : 13
Blade of the Immortal : 5
Naruto : 8
Inuyasha : 7
SoulCalibur (II and III) : 7

( although the saints above divide in ancient feeding lines )

Just a short drabble, based off of the manga Immortal Rain. This one's a mini-fic for sorda_sol, from a drabble meme from whoa-long-ago, but I really do try to hold up all of my 'fic promises. ^___^ In short?

( immortal rain ; g ; eury/ayla ; unapologetic fluff. bring toothbrushes. ; driving lessons have never been a more dangerous better idea, he thinks. )

( there, there baby, it's just textbook stuff )

Like Close Up and Between Blue Rocks, this one ran away with me. For three months.

In short? You're looking at:

title: The Edge of Morning
fandom: tales of symphonia; timeline from pre-game to about a century post-.
rating: T-ish. Mostly for language.
pairing(s): silverlocke980 asked for Zelos/Colette, but there's also Seles/Genis, Colette/Lloyd, Sheena/Zelos, Sheena/? (because in one hundred years, nobody falls in love with just one person.)
notes: Frankly? Experimental. Very long. Highly referential. Moments of insanity (none of which are mine, for once,) days of chasing lightning, some dancing, and a dash of possession. Soul-families, foolish children, halo-girls, and dreamers.


( How many-layered is the heart? )

An accompaniment to Fine Print, but from Scarlet's POV; still wip-y. ^^ I wrote this first in 2004, and have cleaned it up since; I'm not certain it's finished...

(ff7 / scarlet/reeve / pg / ficlet / dancing and double nicknames - before they were Shinra, they were rebels with a cause. )

( the white men in the black suits, they are diminishing )

for: tijuana_pirate, because this is all her fault (in a good way); this hopefully will make up for the fact I still owe her a Christmas story.

( bleach ; post ep. 60 / renji, rukia, yachiru / pg ; banterfluff / expect: smeared black ink (literally), bite marks, a look he knows even when she's not looking at him. )

( Renji had always been a better artist than Rukia... )

for: pearl_gemstone
fandom: Tales of Symphonia; goes just postgame.
rating: PG
genre: General.
characters/pairings: Yuan & Raine. Mmm, snarky academics; how I've missed you.

( ...and those who play it sometimes have a career that outlasts the golden voices. )

PS: How's this layout for readability?

for: silentsoul
fandom: FF7; spans pregame to AC.
rating: T for language.
spoilers: Follows AC canon, but may go AU a bit in the final section.
genre: General. [In which there is a great deal of history and of families, how they choose their battles, and how they learn to to play with fate.]
characters/pairings: Yuffie, Rufus, Pres. Shinra, Godo Kisaragi // Yuffie vs. Rufus, but I plead the thin line.

( She could still kick his ass in the only way that mattered. )

for: hobovelez
fandom: FF7, post AC.
rating: T, mostly for language.
spoilers: Small references to both canons.
genre: Romantic.
characters/pairings: Tifa, Reno, Cloud, Vincent, Marlene // Tifa/Reno

( 'Lock-heart,' he drawled, emphasizing the individual syllables. 'But it’s on your sleeve. Always has been, probably always will be...' )

for: cephiedvariable
fandom: Tales of Symphonia
rating: T
spoilers: Nothing really; Regal's backstory?
genre: Quiet reflection, a soupcon of angst; wistful and necessarily distant affection. (It's all in the unsaid, but if large age differences send up red flags for you...)
characters/pairings: Presea, Regal, and a ghost or two.

( And, somewhere along the line, they were in the right place at the right time in order to do what simpler men called ‘saving the world.’ )

for: firefly99
fandom: FF7, between Midgar and the Temple of Ancients.
rating: PG-T.
spoilers: No, oddly enough. ^^
genre: Reflective; Fly asked for team dynamics.
characters/pairings: Avalanche // some Barret-->Tifa.

( Maybe Teef wouldn’t have talked to him for a week or ten if he had gone with his instincts... )
