Drabble Meme

[cmbranford]

I put in a request on 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.

[compli-cait.livejournal.com]

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.

[youkai-girl.livejournal.com]

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.

[koyuki]

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.

[compli-cait.livejournal.com]

You certainly can request. It might take me a few days to get to it, though. Work has been hectic this week. ^_^

[koyuki]

Ah, I understand that. Thank you and take your time~

[compli-cait.livejournal.com]

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.

[compli-cait.livejournal.com]

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." ^_^

[youkai-girl.livejournal.com]

You do whatever works best for you. ^__^

[koyuki]

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.

[compli-cait.livejournal.com]

I bet Coyote is the kind of guy who would jokingly suggest a threesome with Kai, to which Nozomi would become very angry.

[koyuki]

I bet he would, if only to rile Nozomi up. That'd be a fun scenario.

[compli-cait.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Nozomi would become enraged and Kai would quietly (though a little uncomfortably) laugh it off (then go have sex with Ratri).

[koyuki]

But would he tell Ratri about it first? ^~

[compli-cait.livejournal.com]

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]

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*

[koyuki]

WAIT I MEAN V2CH3?

[compli-cait.livejournal.com]

Well, if you had Kai as a pet, wouldn't you do that sort of thing, too? I know I would, especially knowing just how much Kai really likes it (deep down in a place he won't admit exists openly). ^_^

[compli-cait.livejournal.com]

The one where they're investigating the crime scene of the murdered council members? Indeed how deliciously cruel of Ratri. ^_^

He also does seem to embarass Kai in volume 3 chapter 1 by coming to Kai's room in the middle of the night to have sex with him. Kai looks so completely taken aback by the fact that Ratri is even there and so resistent to Ratri wanting to have sex with him there. It's so adorable (even knowing what happens next).

And then there's chapter 4 of Steal Moon where Ratri is discussing work during sex. Man, can't he leave the office discussions aside while he's pounding his uke? I know he obviously gets off on testing Kai's concentration abilities, but have a little consideration... Okay, it's great to watch, too. I admit it... ^_^

[koyuki]

It's adorable that Kai is shy -- and not violently shy, but just in his own, quiet way. I think I can see why people like Viharn and Ratri like him, for wearing his heart on his sleeve and all.

Also: Kai also seems to be a bit embarassed about his sexual relationship with another man.

I'm pretty sure he's just embarassed about the sex? Also, Nozomi and Kai talking about "it" would be hilarious, even if it would never happen.

[compli-cait.livejournal.com]

Yes, I would love to see a crackfic about it: Sex talk between Tateno Alpha ukes. I wrote a crackfic omake like that to one of my Yellow fics a while back, but those were all minor character ukes (and all completely different character types from Nozomi and Kai). I think The Uke Club, Aoi Hitsuji no Yume/Steal Moon Edition would be hilarious.

[koyuki]

Yes, indeed that one! *giggles* Also, I absolutely adore this panel. Kai has s uch a deliciously uke expression (yay grammar o.x), which he rarely does, and somehow that increases his charm at least ten-fold.

Ratri needs to work on his boyfriend!personality more. It's obvious that's why he makes a good leader, but on the other hand, I wish he'd be nicer to Kai sometimes since he clearly does care about him.

It is indeed incredibly fun to watch. I'm sure Kai has proven himself the many times Ratri's done this, but I think that's how Ratri has his fun. (C'mon! The man looks so serious all the time, every single day. They've probably never gone out on a date even. Ratri needs to find a way to tease uke somehow~)

[koyuki]

I would love to see that. I also want to see mother!Nozomi for the crack value, since he said he'd take care of the Soma and Gyokuto. Along with Coyote, they would have the most hilariously dysfunctional families ever.

[compli-cait.livejournal.com]

Well, especially considering those two boys want to grow up and bone Nozomi. I wonder how Coyote feels about that? ^_^
