Because I'm hella bored and can't focus on anything else right now
Ganked from suzukiblu:
Give me a character or pairing and I will write snippets of ten different alternate universe for it. One line, ten lines, a ficlet if you're lucky. 1. wild west ( Read more... )

"You better clear on out of here," the saloon girl said.
Zuko looked up the double-barrels of her shotgun and thought real hard about agreeing.
Then his eyes flicked up, and he registered the face above the ruffled skirts and plunging bodice.
"... Mai?"
Her eyes narrowed, and Zuko only barely scrabbled to the side in time. A hole the size of his fist appeared in the floor, and she still hadn't unloaded the other barrel.
"You bastard," she hissed, "You left a note! On our wedding day!"

Zuko reached for his guns.
A slight smile tilted the program's mouth. Black sunglasses hid her/its eyes, and a wire ran up from beneath the tailored black suit it/she wore, connecting an earpiece to something else.
It wasn't real, not any of it.
The program's body and clothing were just another visualization, like his guns. It/she didn't exist, not like he imagined her/it.
It/she wasn't Mai. Mai was dead.
He hated whoever had programed this mockery to wear her body.

Mao frowned.
Zura scowled back at him, daring him to say a word. A- a gown of rust-brown edged with floral designs wrapped around her body. Silk flowers decorated her hair, looking haphazard and oddly touchable.
"It's very Earth Kingdom," he hazarded.
Zura began to tear the flowers out of her hair, and Mao felt a pang of regret. All he did, though, was reach out to take them from her hands before they could fall to the floor.

"You cheerlead?" the new boy asks.
Mai raises her eyebrows, then looks down at the cheerleading uniform she is clearly wearing. "Yes."
"You don't seem the type," he says, squinting at her with his good eye. The other eye is still swathed in bandages.
Mai is almost curious about what happened to him. Or she would be, if his sister weren't trying to take Ty Lee's squad away from her and if Ty Lee weren't letting Azula.
"Ty Lee cheerleads," she says, and he nods like that's all the explanation he needs.
Good. Because that's all he's going to get.

I like the quickly-sketched world building in 1, 2, 6, 7, and 9 - stuff is mentioned that happened earlier, there's a sense that there's a proper world hiding here. 1, 2 and 9 even get cliffhangers out of this (what happens next in 9?!).
And the bit for Harem is effing funny.
