Drabble Meme

I put in a request on [livejournal.com profile] youkai_girl's round of this meme, so here is mine.

The first five comments will get their own drabble (~100-300 words). If you request something, please put this in your own journal (unless you already have).

I don't have time to write crossover fics (and they wouldn't make sense in a drabble, anyway), so none of those.  I wil not write non-canon pairings, so any pairings you want me to write must be justifiable in canon (Ichigo/Rukia can squeak by, but Ichigo/Byakuya ain't happenin', sorry).  This is to make it easier for me to write short fics for fandoms that I do not normally write for.  Also, don't expect too much.  I can barely do anything with less than 300 words to work with, so you're not going to get anything particularly erotic.

Please be specific about what you want.  Give me the series/universe you want, the characters you want to be in it and some kind of prompt about what you would like to see happen (it can be very specific, like "I want to see these two characters fight over pocky" or vague like the prompt, "stone").  If you do not give me these three pieces of information I will ignore your request until you do.  If 5 other fics have been successfully requested (whether they posted before you or not) before you add the necessary information, you will be out of luck, sorry.  

The fics may take me a few days to finish/post. I am very busy with work this week, so I will do them as I have time.  I apologize in advance for any delays.  This meme will remain active until the 5 requests are made (however long that takes: weeks, months, years...).

I will write for the following fandoms and any others not listed here that are present on my FF.net profile bio or in my interests list here at LiveJournal (on the user info page).  Keep in mind that fandoms I have already written for are ones I am more comfortable with and will probably result in better fics. 

Bleach
Gravitation
X/Tokyo Babylon
Any Makoto Tateno Series/Universe (Aoi Hitsuji no Yume and Steal Moon are in the same universe, for example).

**I have currently received 4 requests and have fulfilled 4 of them.**

You knew I'd be making a request, right? ^__^

Fandom: Bleach
Pairings: Ichigo/Rukia
Prompt: Ichigo surprises everyone and asks Byakuya to marry Rukia.

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2008-08-11 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Here you go! ^_^

Byakuya quietly sat at his desk, enjoying the peacefulness of the slow afternoon. He'd had a strange premonition that today would bring bad news, but it was nearly time to pack up for the day and he hadn't been visited by any such information.

He should have known better than to dismiss the matter because no sooner had the thought crossed his mind than Rukia burst through the door, followed closely by Kurosaki Ichigo.

Rukia looked incensed as she addressed him. "Brother, tell Ichigo he's being ridiculous!"

Before Byakuya could begin forming the words to ask her what about Ichigo was ridiculous, aside from his hair, of course, Ichigo interrupted.

"What's ridiculous about it? We practically live together anyway! When I'm done with school-"

"Sleeping in your closet is hardly 'living together' and besides, don't you think you're jumping ahead of yourself?!"

Byakuya quietly shifted his attention from one to the other. He wasn't quite sure what to make of this spat they were having or what it had to do with him until Ichigo addressed him, irritatingly by name again.

"Byakuya, you talk some sense into her. She won't listen to me at all!"

"Don't drag my brother into this! It was one kiss, and suddenly you think you can decide the whole rest of our lives together? I'm not moving in with you over one little kiss!"

Ichigo turned to Byakuya. "I don't want to 'live together' I want to marry her!" He stood before the dumbfounded Captain, waiting for some kind of answer, but Byakuya only sat there, wishing he'd called it an early day. Of all the crises in his life, dissolving the romantic tension between his stubborn sister and her equally stubborn, as it turned out, "boyfriend," was one he had never prepared himself for.

Heeee.... ^____^ Oh, I liked. Humor, seriousness, and Byakuya with the beginnings of a migraine..

Great way to start the week.

[identity profile] youkai-girl.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I promised you another prompt, and here you go. ^_^

Follow up this fic. I want to see what happens the next time that Kei and Kanji run into each other. Smex optional, but almost a morning-after fic.

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2008-08-23 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm working on this, really. I'm trying to decide whether to do a drabble or a full 1000-2000 word fic for it, though. The ideas started flowing as soon as I read "smex optional." ^_^

[identity profile] youkai-girl.livejournal.com 2008-08-23 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You do whatever works best for you. ^__^

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2008-09-01 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I didn't end up being able to finish the fic before my Sunday posting day ended, so the entry for the full story won't appear on my LJ for another week (and Jesus, this has turned into the longest smut fic I have ever written...). However, I will offer you here this snippet of the fic (worksafe) for you to enjoy while you wait for me to polish it off (going to sleep on the draft and look it over tomorrow). Then I'll e-mail the full thing to you before I post it anywhere else, so you can enjoy it when you have some time (and no one is looking over your shoulder...). ^_^

Snippet from fic to be titled, Sober:

Kei'd said, "Let's do it again sometime," and when Kanji remembered watching the slim figure wave dismissively at him as he departed, he replayed those words in his mind over and over again. That didn't mean Kei'd had any intention of returning. Why would an adult as attractive as Kei seek out pleasure with a loudmouth high school student? It was ridiculous to think that he'd want to have anything to do with Kanji again, and Kanji knew it. He knew it, but for some reason that knowledge was painful. It was silly to get lost in the memory of a drunken night of sex; he knew that, too.

He was sure this was just some teenage sexual frustration and the feeling would pass with time. Maybe he should find a girlfriend? He knew he liked girls, even if he was comfortable sleeping with men, too. Boys his age were supposed to date, right? It wasn't that he wasn't popular with the girls in his class, either. He just hadn't ever paid them that much mind before. He was always so busy with work or practicing his magic tricks after school and never hung out with anyone. Perhaps all he needed was the attentions of his peers and things would go back to "normal" inside him.

Resolved to accept the next invitation to a group date from his friends, Kanji turned his attention finally towards his apartment door. Immediately he halted, dropping his keys to the floor. Leaning against the wall aside the door, arms crossed with one foot drawn up and resting on the wall, was the object of his thoughts.


Dun dun dun! What will happen next? Stay tuned! ^_^

Am I allowed to request? ^^; I just dropped by your journal and saw this... well, if not, feel free to ignore me.

Fandom: Steal Moon/Aoi Hitsuji no Yume
Pairings: Ratri/Kai, Coyote/Nozomi
Prompt: Kai meets Nozomi for lunch every Tuesday.

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2008-08-21 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
You certainly can request. It might take me a few days to get to it, though. Work has been hectic this week. ^_^
koyuki: (Default)

[personal profile] koyuki 2008-08-21 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I understand that. Thank you and take your time~

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2008-08-23 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Here you go! ^_^

Kai and Nozomi had a strange relationship to be sure.

Discussions about the events that had brought on this tentative friendship were few and generally in passing. They usually regarded it with the phrase, "since then," and followed it with something completely unrelated. It wasn't a sore subject, just something that tended to lead down a path neither was particularly interested in and to questions neither really wanted to answer.

Nozomi didn't like talking about his time at Digital Angels or why he wore a replica of the destroyed collar and Kai didn't like discussing Maria or why neither he nor Ratri would bring themselves to kill her after everything she had done.

Neither did they ever discuss their love lives. Nozomi still couldn't be sure of the true nature of Kai's relationship with Ratri, though he presumed they loved each other even if they never showed it outright. Nozomi himself was still too embarassed by his love for Coyote to discuss it, even if he had another man with whom he could relate.

Instead, they filled their meetings sharing notes on their fighting techniques. Sometimes Kai would recount memories of his grandfather, who had taught him kung fu as a child, though Nozomi knew that it was Ratri who had taught Kai most of what he knew about fighting. In only that was Nozomi jealous of Kai, as the posessive Coyote would probably not want him to study under the boss of Saruto.

Maybe at this week's lunch he would finally ask Kai to trade martial arts lessons. If nothing else it would give him an excuse to spend more time with his new friend.
koyuki: (fma 」 do you love this dream?)

[personal profile] koyuki 2008-08-24 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw... so cute. *is giddy from the cute* Also, I love how you made Nozomi think that Coyote would mind him studying with Ratri, but not with Kai.

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I bet Coyote is the kind of guy who would jokingly suggest a threesome with Kai, to which Nozomi would become very angry.
koyuki: (Default)

[personal profile] koyuki 2008-08-25 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
I bet he would, if only to rile Nozomi up. That'd be a fun scenario.

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed. Nozomi would become enraged and Kai would quietly (though a little uncomfortably) laugh it off (then go have sex with Ratri).
koyuki: (kh 」 riku wins this round)

[personal profile] koyuki 2008-08-25 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
But would he tell Ratri about it first? ^~

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not unless Ratri inquired about it (which he might to see Kai's reaction). Kai also seems to be a bit embarassed about his sexual relationship with another man. He blushes adorably just at the memory of things Ratri has done to him. ^_^
koyuki: (tsubasa 」 what is this "subtext"?)

[personal profile] koyuki 2008-08-25 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Aah, it's only part of his cute puppy-like charm. Also, Ratri seems to have a lovely habit of telling him important information during sex. I'm thinking he does it solely for the pleasure of seeing Kai blush (like he did in V3/Ch1) when he had to recall it. *squee*

New LJ friend hoping you can write something for me~

Yami no Matusei. Muraki/Oriya. Obedience.

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2009-01-30 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be my pleasure, and please don't feel nervous about asking any questions in my current meme, either. ^_^

I've never written these characters before, but I'll see what I can do. Would you prefer something humorous or serious?
prototypical: (Default)

[personal profile] prototypical 2009-01-30 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Whatever's easier for you - I can't write humor to save my life, but I know people that can't do serious at all.

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I'll think of something.

I'll work on it when I have the time. Work is sort of kicking my ass right now, so it might take me a couple more weeks, sorry. Just poke me now and then so I don't completely forget about it. ^_^

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2009-02-18 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, I've never written for this fandom before, so I don't know how "generic" this is going to come off as. There's just only so much I can do with 300 words, you know? Anyway, sorry for the delay, and here you go (takes place around volume 7ish--inspired by the night Muraki dragged Tsuzuki to Oriya's, er, establishment):

"Oriya, be a dear and bring me some tea, would you?"

Muraki brushed past his old college friend as he stepped off the genkan, removing his coat in a swift movement and handing it to one of the women in attendance. He didn't even glance back to see the barely suppressed rage on Oriya's face as he made his way to his "usual" spot, nevermind that it was the middle of the night.

Oriya had half a mind to knock Muraki's head in for showing up out of the blue like this, especially after the mess he'd caused the last time he was here. He always acquiesced, though, like an obedient dog, made a fool of by its master, but still sitting on command.

Really, he didn't know why he put up with this crap. He might not be employed in the most reputable of occupations, but he was damned sure he could do better than this guy for a friend. Still, he knew thing about Muraki that he knew the doctor wouldn't tell anyone else, and that alone spoke volumes of the nature of their trust in one another.

He'd bring "last time" up again tonight, to be sure, deride the doctor for his continued follies, but right now he supposed he'd have to go put some more tea on. Sighing, Oriya followed after his "master," ready to "serve" him in he name of "friendship" as much as in the name of "purveyor." Faithfulness to his duties was one thing Oriya knew how to handle for sure.
prototypical: (more faithful)

[personal profile] prototypical 2009-02-18 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
There's so little for this pairing that nothing is really generic, but you didn't have much to worry about. It was a nice little fic to read - my inner Muraki is quietly grinning his satisfaction.

[identity profile] compli-cait.livejournal.com 2009-02-18 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Cool. "wipes brow*

I'd have thought a lot of "rebelling against Muraki/Tsuzuki shipping" would have invariably resulted in a decent amount of Muraki/Oriya, though.

Muraki is such a cool badass, when he treats his buddy like a complete jerk, you can't help but want to laugh. ^_^
