Cracktastic Character Meme
Swiped this meme from daegaer, because it's gloomy as hell outside and listening to Il Trovatore can only lift one's spirits so much.
Also, I may or may not be avoiding a ten-page paper.
1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.
1) Holly Golightly (Breakfast At Tiffany's)
2) Rachel Berry (Glee)
3) Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop)
4) Russia (Hetalia)
5) Aziraphale (Good Omens)
6) Dana Scully (X-Files)
7) England (Hetalia)
8) Moist Von Lipwig (Discworld: Going Postal)
9) Jack Shephard (LOST)
10) Yossarian (Catch-22)
(I am allowing myself fifteen-ish words. Brevity is not the soul of my wit.)
First Time: 4 and 6 (Russia and Scully)
He lights a cigarette when they're finished, but she snatches it away, stubs it out.
"I'm a doctor, Ivan."
Angst, 7 (England)
"He's not coming back, is he?"
Merlin, trapped in his hawthorne tree, is silent.
AU, 1 and 8 (Holly and Moist)
"What a marvelous ship, darling! Did you steal it yourself?"
Moist laughs, adjusts his goggles, and tips a glance at his zeppelin. He wonders how she knows.
Threesome, 3, 6, and 9 (Spike, Scully, Jack)
"Are we going to do this or what?" Spike finally breaks the silence.
Jack looks at Scully. Scully looks at Spike. Spike stares at both of them.
Christ, his bar-mitzvah had been sexier than this.
Hurt/Comfort, 5 and 10 (Aziraphale and Yossarian)
"It's just a war, old boy." Aziraphale pats Yossarian's back awkwardly. "There have been lots."
Yossarian flings him a panicked look. "Not that I've been in!"
Aziraphale supposes he has a point.
Crack, 1 (Holly)
"It would be just delightful to join a convent, don't you think? Do you suppose those sweet sisters would let me smoke?"
Horror, 10 (Yossarian)
He hears the fuselage shatter.
Baby!fic, 5 and 9 (Aziraphale and Jack)
"I saved him," the boys says solemnly, holding his cupped hands out to Aziraphale. A tiny frog scrambles wetly in his small palms.
Aziraphale peers at it. "So you did."
Dark, 2 and 8 (Rachel and Moist)
She doesn't look as though she's ever really been lied to. Give it one week, maybe two, Moist figures. He'll change that.
Romance, 4 and 7 (Russia and England)
England's fingers tighten around Russia's wrists; the other nation's pulse hammers beneath them.
"Are you afraid?" England murmurs.
"No."
England skims their hips together. "I know you don't enjoy this."
A moan. Beneath the blindfold, Russia's eyelashes flutter in time with his frightened breath. "No...B-But you do."
It is, England thinks as he stops up Russia's mouth with a kiss, a terribly romantic gesture, in its own way.
Deathfic, 2 and 3 (Rachel and Spike)
"You did it for love," Rachel insists, eyes shining. "That means everything is going to turn out all right."
"Yeah?" Spike croaks. He shifts slick hands beneath his ribs, tries to stop up the bleeding. "How do you figure?"
Another hand, smaller than his, pressing in over the wound. Blood stains her short pink fingernails, but she smiles. "Haven't you ever seen a musical?"
