Another writing meme!

[fickle]

Comment with a fandom or pairing you'd like me to write a drabble about. To give this a bit of a twist, also include a song lyric for inspiration.

For example:

Yami no Bakura/Yami no Malik, "I'm killing time on Valentine/waiting for the day to end/change your taste in men."

or

Animorphs, "I don't wanna say, "diiiie motherfucker!/But I wouldn't mind if you did/Sometimes even the nice girl's ego has to override the id?"

Again, repost only if you want to. ^_~

And a random list of some fandoms I'm into at the moment in alphabetical order: Animorphs, Archie Comics (Nostalgia kick, SHUT UP) Batman/DC, Bruno and Boots, Chrestomanci, Gravitation, Harry Potter, Naruto, Othello (the manga, seriously), Pokemon, Sailor Moon season R (please ask me for fic with Prince Diamond or Prince Sapphire or both, please), Yu-Gi-Oh, William Brown books.

Taken from ryuutchi, who is now on my flist!

O_o Interesting pairing. I personally thought that canon couple was an OTP though XD

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

Prince Sapphire stood in front of the crystalline structure that his brother had pinned all his hopes on and waited. Diamond would come soon. Alone. Then Prince Sapphire could talk to him about his obsession with the Queen of Neo-Tokyo and --

Footsteps. Heels clicking against the floor. Not Diamond's.

Sapphire knew what his brother's footsteps sounded like. These weren't his.

He turned, and saw a girl -- no, a woman -- with pink hair and a dress that clung to her jealously, as if possessive of the curves it concealed.

"Wicked Lady." The greeting was stiff, but not impolite, and Sapphire accompanied it with a nod of acknowledgement.

"Prince Sapphire! Why, fancy seeing you here!" She laughed, a high, trilling sound, and pointed the umbrella at him. The point seemed about to touch under his chin; he stepped backwards instead.

"A surprise indeed." His words were more wary now, and the railing around the crystal pressed against his back.

"Oh, but such a pleasant one." The woman purred, and advanced a step forwards, an odd sort of hunger in her eyes. Sapphire knew that look; it was the light that burnt in Emerald's eyes whenever his brother was in sight. It was not an uncommon sight; he merely hadn't seen it aimed at him before.

He had the feeling he should be flattered.

Instead, he found himself thinking of Diamond. Diamond, and how he had never cared for Emerald. How Emerald had died for him, and how Wicked Lady was the spawn of the Neo-Queen Serenity who had his brother so enraptured.

If Diamond could not have the mother-- Sapphire let Wicked Lady kiss him, unresisting but unresponsive -- then his brother could not have the daughter.

Even as a boy, he would never so much as stretch his hand for a flower that Diamond wanted.

You can make more than one request, if you like. XDDD *figures that's the least she owes you*

Waii! :D That was great. Oh man, I miss Sailor Moon R. XD I recently had someone watch a few of the movies with me. 8]

[nevita.livejournal.com]

Owe me? XD; For what? Other than being gorgeous. :X

UHM. WELL. LET'S SEE. I HAVE TO THINK LONG AND HARD ON THIS. Actually, I really just need to think of a song other than 'Crazy Bitch' for psychoshipping.

[miss-sophia.livejournal.com]

We need Jack and Karen!

(I'm Sirius-mun, in case you didn't know. He can't quite speak to Will and Grace, as he's currently living in 1998, and that show hasn't debuted yet. ;) )

[homsarhomsar.livejournal.com]

I was raised by a cup of coffee!

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

That must have been, um, interesting. What kind of coffee?

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

Oh man. Karen would be awesome if she didn't get stuck in Bitchiwitch! And Rosario! Because you can't have Karen without Rosario.

(Hello there. And awww, poor deprived man!)

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

For being totally cool and not getting mad at me for accidentally having you on block for ages.

And HAH! Okay. Good luck. XD And Othello is still open if you want to request anything from that.

Re: O_o Interesting pairing. I personally thought that canon couple was an OTP though XD

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

I miss it too. *pouts* I read the comics in German before anything else, then saw a few eps on Cartoon Network.

...Diamond's dub voice SUCKS.

[nevita.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. XD

Hmm. 8] I'll have to pick up the manga again. Heyy, off topic, how far have you read? :X I've only read up to volume three and stopped, because when volume four came out, I thought the cover was ugly. xD *dies* BUT! I'm getting it for my... birthday that was months ago from a friend.

8| At least, that's what I'm told. ;D

Re: O_o Interesting pairing. I personally thought that canon couple was an OTP though XD

[nevita.livejournal.com]

I missed the Cartoon Network airing, so I've only got my manga to go by. ;;

8| Great, now I've got the urge to RP Sailor Moon again. >D; Thanks a lot.

[amarin-rose.livejournal.com]

Animorphs, Tobias/Rachel, 'Every time I try to fly, I fall without my wings.'

DC, Tim/Steph, 'If you could only see the way she loves me, then maybe you would understand.'

[homsarhomsar.livejournal.com]

I'm good to the last drop! Kashooooooooooooo!

First request done! XD Sorry about the delay. AU -- imagine Tobias died instead of Rachel.

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

"Hey." She's on top of a building. Alone. Or so she hopes. Thinks.

...She's pretty sure she's alone.

There's a strong wind. Tobias would grumble about fighting it to fly, if he were here. Maybe she could have held him close to her, stroked his feathers and talked him into being human for just a little snatch of time.

Maybe.

"I miss you." The wind steals her words and carries them away. Maybe it'll take them to someone who needs to hear it; maybe it'll blow over people who never knew Tobias.

She corrects herself, "We all do."

That doesn't make anything better.

"You--" Rachel stops, her words choked and punches the ground next to her. Her knuckles are skinned, and she sucks them without thinking, taking out of her mouth to try again, "You went down fighting. Like I always wanted to."

Her eyes are darker than the sky and she shifts forwards on the ledge, bare toes curling over the edge.

It's repetitive, but she says it anyway, tone softer than anyone could imagine it being, "I miss you."

Then she flings her arms open wide and leaps.

...I tossed in a side of Bruce/Jason, hope that's okay. XD Set before Steph died and Jay returned.

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

Batman doesn't quite trust Steph. Spoiler. Robin IV.

(A Robin by any other name is still a Robin.)

Tim finds that understandable. He never knew Jason, but he studied him. And he can see why Batman would look at Steph and see Jason's shadow stretched out behind her.

He never sees that.

He sees strength and beauty and joy and anger. Maybe that's what Bruce saw in Jason.

Maybe if Jason had kissed Bruce like Tim is kissing Steph now, Batman might understand. Maybe Jason did. Maybe that's why Batman refuses to understand this.

Maybe this'll end badly. Tim knows the risk he's taking. Steph knows, but Tim isn't sure she cares.

And when she's tugging at his t-shirt so impatiently, and kissing him like she's the sunshine Robins rarely see because they work during the night, Tim doesn't care either. He can't care at any other time either, not when it comes to her.

Loving her is a calculated risk. It's one he's chosen to take.

When she kisses him, Tim knows (with a guilty rush) that there's no calculation involved.

Batman would never understand (condone) that deliberate lack of forethought.

It only makes things worse that Jason (if he had lived) might.

*reposts for typo*

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

Lately, Stephen's been having to look at Sarah directly. Her black school robes, so practical and plain, turn to glittering red strapless dresses as he watches. What little light there is, is caught within the tiny sequins that wink at him, teasing him.

Stephen blinks, and they're gone, and Sarah is simply Sarah again, beautiful and his.

But the longer he stares at her, the brighter the ghosts of the sequins shine.

Re: First request done! XD Sorry about the delay. AU -- imagine Tobias died instead of Rachel.

[amarin-rose.livejournal.com]

Oh, ow. And wow, this was just so...powerful.

Re: ...I tossed in a side of Bruce/Jason, hope that's okay. XD Set before Steph died and Jay returne

[amarin-rose.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. The intricacy and intimacy is...mm, yummy.

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

Glad to have pleased. XD I swear, I didn't mean for Bruce/Jason to creep in there but I think that Jason is too attention-demanding to stay out of DC stories.

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

Rachel = Steph. Both blonde, fight-happy, die tragically, messed-up families and relationship problems.

Except Rachel's death is treated much, much better than Steph's.

I actually think this is the best drabble in the entire post. Tobias/Rachel is my canon OTP. Doomed and beautiful and painful in its inability to be as perfect as they deserve.

*purrs*

Ha! Time to do it!

^^;; I won't do a pairing you hate ^^' Hmmm... *ponders, ponders*

Pokemon: Jesse/James; "How does one waltz away from all of the memories?"
"how can I not love you" by Joy Enriquez.

[xinda.livejournal.com]

p/s how do I always pick pairings you hate?

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. XDD Special skill?

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

Sorry about how incredibly, insanely late this is, but I figure that at least now would be a good time to send you a little pick-me-up. *hugs*

~*~

Jessibelle. That was her name. The high-bred trollop!

Jesse fumed to herself as she watched James dance around the clearing gracefully in a dress that she knew for a fact had once belonged to his fiancee. Humming to himself, he was waltzing around the grassy knoll, Meowth protesting loudly at being suspended in the air and spun around by James.

"James!" Jesse screamed finally, unable to just watch any longer, "Why aren't you thinking up a plan to capture Pikachu?!"

She marched into the space, and James dropped Meowth guiltily who managed to land on his feet and yowl indignantly. "I was! We can disguise ourselves as dance teachers for Pokemon because Pokemon gain better agility like that, and when he gives us Pikachu to teach, we can Pika-nap him!"

"..." Jesse had to admit that it souded logical. "Fine."

James held out a hand to her and she stared at it impatiently, "What?"

"Waltz with me. We'll need to practice to get good enough to fool that kid and his friends." James suggested.

Big. Mistake.

Jesse's head expanded to twice its usual size, mouth becoming the size of a lake, "ARE YOU SAYING THAT I DON'T WALTZ BEAUTIFULLY ALREADY?!"

"No-- ow -- that's not -- ow! -- what I -- ow ow ow -- was saying!" James protested uselessly as Jesse chased him around the clearing, hitting him with a leafy branch she'd picked up from the ground.

Waltzing lessons were delayed in favor of Jesse beating James up thoroughly, but at least she was no longer thinking jealously of James' ex-fiancee.
