[ ADVENT CALENDAR / event / PG / prompts, fanfiction, fanart ]

Dec 13, 2010 17:18

I thought of this idea while talking to dreams, and decided we're going to do an Advent Calendar event! [So that we have a good motivator to push us to write.] So from now till January 1, we're going to all try to do as many little prizes for each other as possible. Each day will have a different word prompt, and hopefully more than one person does ( Read more... )

DAY 5: December 18 hikarikame December 18 2010, 03:21:53 UTC
Prompt: Meeting

Meeting someone or something always sparks a certain emotion inside of you. "Meeting you" can be quiet, like passing each other on a crowded street, or maybe an empty one. "Meeting you" can be loud, like a head-on collision, a train wreck just waiting to happen. A "meeting" can be powerful, or forgettable, joyful, and sorrowful. A "Meeting" can be many things, but one thing it cannot be; it can't be chance. "Meeting" someone is always...

Destiny.

The tight squeeze of the bar between the heights of apartments wouldn’t seem to betray the classy interior within, but that seemed to be the case. Kiku loved his ever-changing city ( ... )

The hostess let both young men sit down before giving a spiel on the functions of the room, of how they charged by the time spent (which was an astronomical 10,000 yen for every twenty minutes), the mini-fridge, the stereo system and other things neither cared to listen to, only absently nodding like sleepy school kids. The woman wished them well and shut the door behind her, much to the two nations’ relief ( ... )

DAY 6: [December 19] hikarikame December 19 2010, 20:15:29 UTC
Prompt: Food, Cooking.

The best meanings for food are when you share it in an act of communion. To break bread and share drink is to share common life-sustaining foodstuffs, which is to say; Yes, I care about you, and I'm close to you.

Let us share life.

Not a very good one, but this was the best I could come up with. I think I expended all my brain power on the No Desire prompt. I guess this one will just be a "Oh, cute!" kinda deal. I hope you guys come up with something better, because this one kind of sucks. xp ( ... )

I.

He was right. He could make Kiku's regional dish in his place. Noodles, seafood, tempura, the savory sprinkles that went over rice. He had factories for that. It still didn't taste quite the same, Kiku insisted.

II.

"Unfortunately, that technique is illegal in my home now. It's just not sanitary." Yao says, remembering that awkward evening when he'd ended up covered in soy sauce, rice vinegar, horseradish, and something else.

III.

The biscuit, long and thin and bite-sized ended with a kiss, just like in comic books.

IV.

"You're not going to ask me to make the Opium Bastard's dish, are you?"
"That's Mr. Kirkland to you. Of course not. Now hurry and make dinner already. The guests are hungry."
Someday, he'd make all these foreign devils leave. But he'd have to do as the master of the house told him for now.

V.

"...But it's been watered down for local tastes! I could make it better myself!" Yao declared in a very loud voice, so that the waiters and the chefs in this "Chinese" restaurant would hear.

DAY 7: [December 20] hikarikame December 20 2010, 05:33:54 UTC
Prompt: Surprises

Surprises are the best, aren't they? Someone new just hits you in the face, be it a gift, or a stroke of luck, a new love in your life, or just something plain weird, but amusing.

Surprises are the worst, aren't they? You're never prepared when disaster strikes, and heaven befall you if you say you were only a little surprised. Then I suppose the people by Pompeii were only a bit miffed when an entire mountain behind them blew up and covered them with miles of ash. You're only mildly annoyed when someone just up and betrays you.

It's just a surprise!

Yes, surprises are the best indeed.

[Thanks Dreams! I suck at dates.]

He’d passed out, likely due to the constant jostling and severe blood loss. Kiku wipes some of the sweat and blood off Yao’s brow before picking him up as quickly as he’d set him down ( ... )

In the candlelight his dark eyes flit back and forth across the parchment of the letter.
Nii-san's handwriting is meticulous as ever, each graceful brushstroke purposeful. How are you doing, he asks. The seasons are beautiful in Beijing. When will you come out? Portugal has told me she's met you...

He puts the letter down without reading more. He won't come out yet, he'll never come out. He wraps the blankets around him tighter.

It was a long, painful journey back to acceptance. Japan didn’t expect it to be, but he had greatly underestimated how painful it would be. For life to spite him by making him fall in love with the person he had just ended a war with was nothing short of a miracle from hell ( ... )

Japan refuses to give up, so the next time China’s bosses have meetings he anticipates them, and shows up once again uninvited at China’s doorstep. This time, a crying girl is deposited in his arms, albeit a little gentler this time ( ... )
