something that ISN'T what I need to write.
So I realized recently that kizunaexchange is due in a little over two weeks and I haven't even started it. And it's meant to be, what, 2500 words? Awesome. Even more awesome considering I recently also realized that my fic for astrangerenters is going to be much more massive and epic than I really wanted it to be (though not nearly as much as it should be). So instead of working on EITHER of those things, I rummaged around in my brain and pulled out a little Akame. (This is clearly the story of my life. And no I am not grumpy about having to write, I'm grumpy about not having enough tim to get stuck into it!)
Akame writers/readers should let me know what they think. Just in case I've royally messed this up.
PAPER LIVES.
Kame's life is kept in a diary.
Jin's life is kept on a bar napkin.
Kame carries his diary in his pocket so he can take it everywhere.
Jin spills rum and Coke on his napkin and laughs.
When Kame's plans change, he whites out the original entry and writes over it.
When Jin's plans change, he steals the napkin from under a friend's drink and starts again.
Kame is never late, because he studies his plans for the day every morning over breakfast.
Jin is always late, because his napkin fell under the table and he didn't bother to retrieve it.
If Kame didn't have his diary, he wouldn't know who he was meant to be.
If Jin didn't have his napkin, he would make it up as he went along.
Kame buys Jin a diary, writes down KAT-TUN's work plans and tells Jin to update it.
Jin sticks a napkin to Kame's forehead, grins lopsidedly and tells Kame to relax.
An up-to-date diary is honest and reliable, but heavy and restrictive.
A napkin is flimsy and constantly changing, but freeing in its spontaneity.
Kame makes sure Jin doesn't forget where he's going.
Jin makes sure Kame doesn't forget where he could go.
Look at me, all playing with style and crap.
It's still totally gen with space for subtext, but man. Old habits die hard. Damn you, Arashi.
