I need to learn to think things through.

*sigh* How do i get myself into these things? By being greedy. I don't even think 15 people here care.

taken from inevitabilityy.

The first fifteen commenters who give me awesome prompts get to request a drabble from me. In return, they have to post this meme in their journal. Post all fandoms you’re willing to write for. OK, so just request, ok? Because y'all ( Read more... )

pairings i never thought i'd write, idiotic is my new hobby, meme, threesomes are love, ficcage

Why is it that you can give me the prompt and I came up with tons of ideas, but now that I have free reign, nothing? Must be an off night.

But I really want a song!fic of "Ai Nante," but not between any of the jpop boys. I want my het, gosh darn it! So maybe you can use one of the doramas or something from GW for all I know. I just want song!fic. Some potential pairings:
-from Nobuta's point of view, filling in some of her backstory
-Shuuji's pov about Nobuta (I would say Akira about Nobuta, but it's just too non-major of a song for Akira)
-Nao/Hiroto, because there can never be too much sappy angst where they're concerned (and kitsune_714 would love you forever too)
-HYD, except I don't think it would work with Makino/Doumyoji (though you're welcome to try it). So maybe Rui/Makino or Rui/Shizuka? Or something like that.
-And yep, ran out of ideas for now.

So, ready, set, fic!

Or if this is not doing it for you, you tell me which one of these to write, and I'll do it, but I have no inspiration, so you have to give me something good to go off of. Deal? Deal.

And see! Now that I posted that, I remembered. The crackalicious body!switch ficbit I gave you based off that one Russ-K commercial. You should definitely write that. ;p

you are, nantoiuka. stretching my boundaries as a writer. Also, I'd like to add that you do not want (like seriously) anything I'd write off ai nante. It would probably involve death. Unfortunately for you, that might be the one youget anyway

What a very tactful way of saying "You give craptacular prompts."

And whatever you want to give me. I just give the prompts; you're the one who gets to decide where it goes. If I don't like it, I guess I should have written it in the first place. (Though I seriously doubt I could ever truly dislike something you wrote; you have such pretty style that I can't help but like it.)

So, you're stuck. You have to write, and I'm going to like you no matter what. :D

No, it's my way of saying, 'i don't have any experience writing het and i don't do dramas, really.' I'd like to point out that JE does not include dramas. ;P

Ai Nante songfic for mycroftnext. I'm sorry I'm made of so much fail. This is so incredibly craptasticular I don't even really want to post it. And this isn't even a fandom you know. *massive fail* -_-/
As general background, wikipedia entry on GW.

Dore dake aruite kitandarou. Furimuitara namida no ato.

Zechs knew the secret fears in his heart were true. He couldn't protect them. He couldn't protect anyone. Not anyone; not even her*. All his tears, all the tears in the world would never bring a single person back.

Kizutuke kizutuki tadorituita basho.

Zechs knew the secret fears in his heart were true. All the blood covering his hands. All the people he killed trying to grow stronger, strong enough to save all those innocent people, all the beautiful pacifists who couldn't protect themselves. For that lofty goal, Zechs had abandoned all his morals and ideals, all his hope for himself--to protect, to save.

But he knew--now, too late--that it was all hopeless. He couldn't protect anyone and anywhere he went, everywhere he went, all he brought was pointless death and destruction. He couldn't save anyone. All he could do was cause pain. These were the truths he feared, the truths hated the most, because they meant all he'd sacrificed, all the pain he'd experienced and shaken off as worthy sacrifice for others, all of it was in vain.

Ima koko ni kimi ga iru.

I can't protect you either. I can't.

Zechs whispered the words under his breath, but no less desperately for all that. Noin knew she wasn't supposed to have heard. But of course she did. She was a little ashamed to admit it, but she heard every word that ever fell from Zechs' lips. She couldn't help it.

I'm here, she whispered back, under her own breath. I'm here anyway.

Ai nante kimi dake sa itsudemo motomesugite.

Noin knew she always asked too much of him. She knew she always pressed a little bit too far, always wanted more, something, too much, things he didn't have to give. Please rely on me, and I always want to be by your side. She knew she asked for too much because she wanted everything.

Ai nante kimi nashi ja imi nai yo. Ikirarenai.

Don't leave me, and I love you, and Life without you is meaningless. Noin didn't say things like that; it wasn't in her nature.

I don't need you to protect me. I'll be waiting for you. And then she walked away, leaving Zechs to stare after her

Hontou ni kokoro de aiseteiru no? Imademo fuan da yo.

She knew who Zechs was, knew his hopes and dreams, whispered secrets from Academy days when life was--not exactly carefree, but before all the blood and tears that seemed to weigh so heavily on Zechs now--whispered secrets she treasured for all they meant. She knew his worries and his fears, the secret things he hid in his heart.

Did he remember any of hers?

Hitorikiri yume no naka tadorituita basho, furueteru kimi ga iru yo.

Zechs sometimes felt like he was stumbling through a dream, wandering through a nightmare alone. The way behind him was closed with thorns and blood, and none of his options forward were good ones. He didn't know which way to go. All the paths open to him twisted farther and farther into impenetrable night.

But he had no choice but to go forward. And Noin was waiting at the end of every one, so he pressed on.

Nakanaide, hanasanai yo, subete wo nagesutetemo. Mirai nante kimi nashi ja mienai yo. Iranai yo.

Even if she lost everything. Even if she had to sacrifice everything, she wouldn't let go of him. Zechs would be the one thing she held onto. All of her family was dead, killed in falling rubble years ago; nearly all her friends were too, casualties of not being quite fast enough, not being quite good enough and the cruelty of a soldier's existence. That was all past, past and present.

She wouldn't give up Zechs. She couldn't see a future without him. She didn't want any part in a future without him.

Asa no hizashi no kimi no negao to tereta egao de ureshiku nareru kara. Sonna hibi wo kanjita ai yo.

"Are you still waiting?" Zechs asked Noin a few minutes before boarding the Mars terra-forming project shuttle.

She looked at his face, into his eyes which were no longer covered by a mask. She smiled. "No, not anymore."

The early morning sun playing across Noin's sleeping face.

Zech's shy smile, unburdened for the first time in years.

"Let's go, then." Stepping through the hatch, Zechs reached back and caught Noin's hand.

Eien ni. Eien ni.

*since you don't know the series at all, this 'her' is referring to his little sister.

OMG I DID NOT EVEN SEE THIS EARLIER!! HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO BLIND?? I will blame hurriedly checking my email/replying at school when i know i've only 3 minutes of net time before i will officially end up late for class.

Will you write me Akira/Nobuta fic? That would be the second most awesome thing ever (the only way it could get better would be if you wrote me Shuuji/Akira/Nobuta fic, but I know you won't, so there's no point. They are my OT3. They had matching pig figurines. Which really has nothing to do with anything, but i thought they were cute).
prompt: The winter sun hung cold and pale in the sky

please? Please please please?

in the meantime, I will keep thinking. Do you have any line-prompts? That seems to make it really easy for me to run with things kedo...Otherwise I will end up writing depressing death-fic and I don't really want to
