Drabble Time - Enable Me!

[puella_nerdii]

So I'm getting overly stressed out over finals and I need a break.

The solution? Give me drabble prompts so I can procrastinate even more so I can blow off some steam. I'm currently crushing on FFXII in a big way, but I've still got a place in my heart for FFVII(/AC/DOC), DDS, Hellsing, Petshop of Horrors...hell, any fandom that I've written for

Oooh, this sounds fun! ::claps hands with evil glee::

Larsa/Penelo, dawn. And every kiss he gave her already tasted of goodbye.

Aaaaand, if you're up for experimental stuff:

Penelo/Reks, twilight. "You don't have to go, you know." "You sure about that much?"

Drace/Vayne. Midnight. Slipping further and further...

One of three.

Her hair is beautiful in this light, colored gold and pink by the emerging sun. She’s left it unbound; Larsa runs his fingers through the soft waves, savoring the whisper of the silken tendrils against his skin.

“When do you have to meet the Rozarrian ambassador?” Penelo murmurs, her voice slurred with drowsiness.

Larsa leans over and brushes his lips to hers. She sighs and stretches under him like a cat. “Not for another three hours.”

“Oh.” She rolls to the side, cocooning herself in the azure bedcovers. “Should I-”

He catches her wrist, pulls her close again. “Stay.”

Aww, this is so lovely and so sweet! I really love the way Larsa plays with her hair-- it just seems so intimate and tender a gesture-- and him being so needy about her company strikes me as very, very apt. Lovely fic-bit. ♥ Permission to drop a link to the Larsaxpenelo comm? ;)

Re: One of three.

[puella_nerdii]

^^ Thank you! (He really is devoted, the sweet little thing.) Glad you liked it so much! And permission granted.

Two of three.

“He’ll miss you.” Penelo stands framed in the dim light filtering through the doorway, arms folded.

Reks checks the straps on his haversack and shoulders it. “I’ll miss him, too. I’ll miss you both.”

“They’re saying…” She looks down and kicks a loose pebble across the floor. It skitters to a halt at his feet. “They’re saying a lot of the soldiers aren’t coming back.”

He tilts her head so that her eyes meet his. “Chin up. I won’t be gone long. Vaan needs both of us to look after him, right?”

Penelo snorts, but can’t blink back the tears.

Oooooh, Penelo. Ooooooh, Reks. So sweet and so doomed in his little battle-bra. ::sigh:: I know exactly how Penelo feels right then! ♥

Re: Two of three.

[puella_nerdii]

(Oh, the battle-bra. DON'T LOOK SO SURPRISED AT GETTING STABBED, REKS. YOU LEFT YOUR ENTIRE ABDOMEN EXPOSED.)

But yeah, were I Penelo, I'd probably be going "don't leave!" at Reks, too. ^^

Re: Two of three.

[mariagoner]

Hah! But poor Reks is Dalmascan! Those poor things can't help themselves when ti comes to dressing hilariously inappropriately for all occasions. It's possibly due to the sand in their brains! ;)

Re: Two of three.

[puella_nerdii]

It really must be the sand. I mean, at least the Imperial Army gets to wear actual armor. Dalmasca dresses its captains in glorified potholders.

Re: Two of three.

[mariagoner]

And it's recent widows in, like, crop-top dresses that expose their bellies in case they're on the market already. The Dalmascan sense of fashion must be the laughing stock of Ivalice... which is saying something when you regard how Archadians (hello little boy in a blouse!) and Rozarrians (Al-Cid, can you not afford buttons?!) tend to dress as well!

Three of three!

Drace is slow to hear him approach in the darkness. He moves swiftly, unencumbered by the heavy armor that marks her station. Vayne is at her back, his breath hot against her neck as he murmurs, “Lord Larsa retired for the day long ago. You have not done the same?”

“There is much in the dark that would seek to harm him,” she replies, her chin steady. Like you.

His nails creep to the back of her neck. She seizes his hand and twists it away firmly.

“I am ever vigilant,” she warns him, voice sharp and low. “Take heed.”

Re: Three of three!

[mariagoner]

HOT. This is so canon it's amazing-- my god but Drace kicks butt-- and Vayne sends all the hairs on the back of my nape shooting straight up. The way he prowls around her and the way she fends him off... hot, hot, hot. You make me want to write fic about them now! ♥

Can I still request more drabbles or have I overstayed my welcome here? ;)

Re: Three of three!

[puella_nerdii]

Vayne is a prowly sort of bastard, yes. Luckily Drace is a Judge Magister and won't take that shit.

Keep 'em going! This is pretty much how I'm destressing. :D And you've given me awesome stuff so far.

(...you know you want to fic them. Dooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeet. ^^)

Re: Three of three!

[mariagoner]

::wibble:: Oh noooooo... don't tempt me! Following your excellent example, I'd likely fall flat. ;)

You are so generous! ♥ ♥ ♥!
