Another writing meme!

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 [livejournal.com profile] ryuutchi, who is now on my flist!

bet you think I'm going to ask for kakasasu!

But I'm not.

Instead, I'm going to ask for Draco: 'Hope dangles on a string Like slow spinning redemption'

Have recently visited a drug store and noticed that (shock!) Betty and Veronica seem to be jealous over Archie!

...He's not going to get better, girls. Give it up.

So, in honor of our shared nostalgia, allow me to suggest:

Archie comics ("If tired I'm tired of telling you / I'm never tired I'm always better than you")

OMG SHOCK YOU DIDN'T. ... I used to be a Draco fan.

Tick. Tock. Tick.

...Tock.


The clock here is slow. It's off by a few beats. Not many, but enough to irk Draco. He can't count by it. He can't count on it.

It's not reliable. Like him.

That could be taken two ways.

Even Draco's thought processes aren't reliable. They're ambigious. Like he is. Was. He's been caught, now. Caught and marked and known. Ambiguity is a fast-vanishing thing of the past, for him and Snape both.

Draco sits and waits to hear if Dumbledore is dead or not, and watches the spiders weave their webs.

I like canon!Draco, fanon!Draco annoys me.

Oh yes. I like.

Itachi/Sasuke -- very, very cracky. XD

Itachi was beginning to develop a twitch.

That was rather worrying.

He was the pride and joy of the clan; he was one of the best ninjas the family had ever bred. He would master every jutsu in the world. He would become the most skilled ninja in--

Twitch.

He would develop a twitch and forever be known as the ninja that twitched. Enemies would laugh at him. Children would provoke him to try to make him twitch. Kaa-san would make him herbal tea. Tou-san would talk to him about pressure and stress.

And Sasuke--

Twitch.

Sasuke would keep singing. And dancing. Itachi didn't even see why the grown-ups encouraged him! His baby brother was still a baby. Itachi was much more interesting and clever and--

TWITCH.

And starting to develop a full-body twitch which had started at an eye then infected all of him.

But did anyone care? NO. They were all too busy clustering around the little baby who was trying to imitate the singing, dancing toy that some well-meaning relative had brought him.

Stabbing a pen through his homework angrily, Itachi decided that his entire clan would have to go.

And Sasuke could live on and see how it felt to be ignored!

canon!Draco seems so much more like fanon!Draco after HBP

I'm so addicted to seeing you write Stephen/Sarah, so there's my pairing. xDDD As for the lyric? "The light changes when you're in the room."

*goes to post this meme*

naw. fanon!Draco is like Spike from Buffy, HBP!Draco was flawed

"Only a little longer, Mokuba." Seto soothed his younger brother, tucking a strand of sweaty hair under the surgical cap again. No matter how well he gathered it back, some of it always escaped.

Mokuba's eyes closed for a second, and his breathing was labored when he opened them again, "Yes, nii-sama."

Seto didn't bother asking how Mokuba was but instead returned to work, ripping out veins and replacing them with wires. Skeletal struts of steel went where the bones used to be, and the skin that covered the circuity-ridden flesh was synthetic, fire and waterproof both.

The lights pulsed sickly green and red below Mokuba's new skin, and the boy strapped to the table looked like he was a carrier of the new (eletronic) plague.

Seto didn't care about that.

Mokuba wasn't human any longer. He was perfect. He was invincible.

He could never leave Seto (Seto could never fail him).

But I LIKE Spike!

Why do our best conversations take place over subject lines?

"Ronnie, I don't know how--"

"Betty Cooper, where you get the nerve--"

"Listen, you spoilt rich--"

"Little Miss All-American--"

They're fighting over Archie again.

It's what they spend most of their time doing. When they're not fighting, they're best friends (and even when they're fighting, they're still best friends). If they weren't, they wouldn't be able to zero in on what hurts each other.

"If you had half as many brain cells as you had dollars, Veronica--"

"You think Archie likes you for your brains, dearie? You--"

"Money, looks and what else do you have Ronnie? Oh, that's right, NOTHING."

"Why, you little--"

SPLASH.

And now they're in the pool. Pulling each other's hair. Fighting to reach the side of the pool first. Tugging on each other's legs and dragging the other back, coughing up mouthfuls of water and choking.

"You stop that, Betty Cooper, this is MY pool!"

"Well, that's my leg you've got, you selfish--"

"OW! How DARE you kick me!"

"How dare you push me in?!"

They're back to arguing now. And laughing. Veronica pushes Betty's bikini strap onto her shoulder again, and her fingers linger just a little too long. Betty thanks her without thinking, and kisses Veronica on the cheek, lips sticky with chlorine and sunblock. The sun's behind Betty, and Veronica's dazzled.

Time to make my entrance.

"Girls! You are blessed for Reggie Mantle has decided to grace you with his presence today!"

They don't look appropriately grateful but they never do when I break up their 'them' moments. But if I hadn't, they'd have just gone back to arguing over Archie again, and I'm sick of seeing them do that when they'd look so much better together.

Lately, Stephen's been having looking 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.

I am going to the special hell.

Sirius is strangely fascinated by Homsar's hat. And Homsar's mode of speech. And Homsar's softness.

It's something like what a mother should be. Soft. And incomprehensible.

Mrs. Black was sadly all too comprehensible. Idiotic, ranting and a prejudiced bitch, but comprehensible.

Sirius likes the fact that he's not completely sure what Homsar's saying. It lets him pretend that Homsar's saying what Sirius wants to hear, and that varies from day to day.

So he chases Homsar's hat around the room once he's lost at Candy Mountain, listens to the creature's tone instead of his words and once he catches the hat, pats it until Homsar's speech becomes even more garbled than usual.

Actually, it wasn't Candy Mountain. That one didn't really seem to do it for either of us. No, it was Parcheesi. Homsar is so bloody fucking good at that one. *swallows hard*
