3 Sentence Ficathon & 2 Anime Drabbles
The Three Sentence Ficathon is happening till the end of February. There is still time to leave prompts and fills: 1st post (closed to new prompts, but you can still post fills), 2nd post (new prompts go here). Someone has kindly compiled a list of unfilled prompts here.
I wrote a few things here and there. I wrote a Will/Hannibal drabble titled Freefall. I also wrote for a few anime fandoms. The two drabbles below are the ones I'm quite happy with.
Title: Birth
Author: Belladonna Lee
Characters: Elias, Rahab
Fandom: The Ancient Magus' Bride (Mahoutsukai no Yome)
Rating: G
Word Count: 140
Prompt: Ancient Magus Bride, Elias, Elias is actually a fallen angel
Disclaimer: The world of Mahoutsukai no Yome and its characters are not mine.
Birth
He did not know where he was, and he did not know where he came from or where he would be going. He walked for a long time in the wilderness, searching, a rustling shadow of something not of this world and ought not to walk upon this earth. Without a name, without a face, without memory-a blank slate.
When Rahab named him Elias, the name sounded right to his ear, and the thing that tethered him still to a certain place he could no longer recall was severed at last. Like a child looking for an answer, he looked up at Rahab: he saw her smile, and he saw a sea of secrets in her eyes.
"Welcome to this beautiful and ugly world," Rahab said to him, as though bestowing a blessing and a curse upon him, "Elias."

Title: Inferno
Author: Belladonna Lee
Pairing: Homura/Madoka
Fandom: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Rating: PG
Word Count: 230
Prompt: Madoka Magica, Homura/Madoka, "I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave."
Disclaimer: The world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica and its characters are not mine.
A/N: This takes place after the end of the Rebellion movie.
Inferno
The moon, half-full and huge and on the verge of falling from the sky, glared like an eye upon a midnight tea party in a field of crimson spider lilies. Sitting at the table, Madoka sipped her tea while casting an uneasy glance at her new friend, Akemi Homura. Chin in hand, Homura was staring at Madoka with those dark, violet eyes of hers. She had not said a word, and she had not touched her tea or her cake, even though she was the one who invited Madoka to the tea party.
Ever since Madoka transferred to her new school, Homura had been nothing but kind to her, and yet something about Homura unnerved her. Perhaps it was her words, the intensity of her gaze, her undivided attention, her strange devotion towards someone she barely knew. Although Madoka had grown fond of Homura, her affection towards Homura was tinted with a touch of fear. There was something else as well, a vague, inexplicable sense of loss lurking at the edge of her consciousness...
"Homura-chan," Madoka said timidly. "Are you sure we should be having tea here so late at night?"
"It's all right, Madoka," Homura replied, her voice quiet and low and reassuring. "This is my gift to you." And she smiled a strange, distorted smile, a smile that sent a shiver down Madoka's spine. "This is our paradise."
