Taken from Misguided Fairytales.

1) Give me a pairing
2) Give me an AU setting
3) I will write you a three-sentence (or more!) fic

drabble

Ooooh, I like this idea!

All right, let's see...

1) Gentleshipping (Valon/Shizuka)
2) AU: Western Steampunk

If this doesn't work I can come up with something else :)

It is! Feel free to do this meme too~

Interesting pairing. I'll sure give it a try, however could you give a more simpler prompt? I'm not familiar with this. ^^;

Haha, I might actually give this a try!

Ummm, let's see...how about a fairy tale?

PTERODACTYL SCREECH ASDFGHJKL.

This was absolutely perfect. For real. Like, I can't even quite describe all my fangirly feels right now, haha. I especially adore how it's something as subtle as a few strands of red hair that catches his eyes, despite her subdued demeanor; the fact she's a nun in a church that tends to a wounded Valon was also a very nice touch, as it's a callback to his past.

I think I'm just going to kinda re-read this a few more times because PERFECT. Thank you so much!

Hehe, you're welcome, dear! I'm sorry it took so much time (a month, already?), finding ideas about how it would finish was one of my hardest times, but I enjoyed writing this. I don't happen to characterize Varon and Shizuka so often, so thanks for giving me the experience!

I definitively need to write more Doma characters!

Feel free to ask for another pair if you want to. ;)

You'll find me a very patient person, haha - and it was definitely worth the wait! This particular pairing is pretty hard to write for, but you did spectacularly with the request!

R-Really?! I can ask for another pairing? Ummm...let's see...how about fameshipping, setting of your choice?

Egansvgcadd, I'm really glad you enjoyed this little ficlet!

So, Fameshipping is about Vivian/Otogi, right? Sure, I'd love to do something with it! I'll try to write faster though. *U*

Yep! Fame is Vivian/Otogi :)

Alright! Consider it on my to-do-list. :>

Fameshipping, speed-dating.

When he sees a woman in yellow garments approaching his table, Otogi can't help but raise a quizzical eyebrow. This, of course, isn't the first time he participates in speed dating events, or that he meets women dressed in outrageously revealing outfits (at least three or four, this evening).

But all of this yellow does ring a bell -a bright color, in this dim-lighted environment, which used to be showed off before him in quite a provocative way, back to those days in KC Grand Prix-

"Am I so beautiful that you've got no words left?"

A color whose vibrance matches its wearer's grin. And Otogi smiles in recognition as he invites her to take a seat.

Yellow never was so haunting. And attracting.

(Here you go! Funny how I love using color theme in those drabbles XD)

kermitflail PERFECT AGAIN.

I noticed that about colors with you as well, but you do such a good job with it. I especially love the comparison of Vivian's yellow dress to her smile ("a color whose vibrance matches its wearer's grin" = Vivian in a nut shell).

I also adored the setting, as it's a perfectly logical way to meet each other (and it isn't as awkward, even better!)

Thank you so much! I loved this little drabble!

Haha, I don't know why this color idea stroke me again. It took longer than I thought. I wanted at first write something more serious and deeper, but just didn't managed. In the KC Grand Prix, it seems Vivian was just a plot device, she's quite a difficult character to characterize, when you think about it. So, yes, Otogi's POV.

Glad you liked it anyway!
