Early V-day/anti V-Day drabble offer.

I'm tired and headachy in weird on-off bouts so instead posting this on V-Day proper, I'm giving myself a little extra time.

If you want a V-Day/anti V-Day drabble, comment here with the fandom/pairing/prompt. Flavors are make up, break up, and hook up. You have to say which you're choosing otherwise I will probably default to break up for the fun of writing many screaming arguments and assassination attempts. I'm sure there are people psycho enough to do that in my fandoms.

"You hired an ASSASSIN to go after me?! Couldn't you just have taken me out to dinner and dumped me in public like a normal person?!"
"You don't like normal people."
"You're trying to kill me! I don't like you anyway!"
"That's why we're breaking up."
"No, we're breaking up because you're a bastard."
"I thought that was what you liked about me."
"EXCEPT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME."
"Don't be so loud."
"I thought that was what you liked about me."
"Except when you're trying to kill my eardrums."
"Ha. Ha. Ha. Rubber, glue. Pot, Kettle."
"Amusing, not amusing. Inteligent, unintelligent."
"Insult to injury much?"
"Why are you still alive?"
"Because I refuse to let you kill me and dump me both. My ego would never survive."
"It's not your ego you need to worry about."
"...What?"
"Duck."
"WHAT THE HELL?! DID SOMEONE JUST THROW A KNIFE AT ME?!"
"Yes. Now stop shouting."
"Why did you just save my life if you're trying to get me killed?"
"Because that's not the assassin I hired."
"Nobody except you gets to dispose of me?"
"Yes."
"Possessive bastard."
"Yes."


I'll write any pairing except thiefshipping, even if you want to get them broken up.

Random fandoms I know I'm into: Animorphs, Archie Comics, Batman/DC*, Batman Beyond, Bruno and Boots, Chrestomanci, Discworld, Good Omens, Gravitation, Gundam Wing, Harry Potter, Hercules (Disney), Mulan (Disney), Naruto, Othello (the manga), Petshop of Horrors, Pokemon, Sailor Moon season R, Smallville, Spiderman, Stick It, The Authority, The Charioteer, Utena, Yu-Gi-Oh, William Brown books.

*shaky. I can write for some chars but not for others and will tell you if your request looks unmanageable.

Oh, and make as many requests as you like. I'll try to fill at least one per person but feel free to make more or throw this link to anyone you want. Or repost the offer in your journal, I really don't mind.

I am indecisive. Thus, I offer options!

1. In light of my most recent addiction, Mac/PC--Apple ad versions--(or hell, P/A; I've just gotten that far in the story) crashing break up.

2. Remus/Lupin angsty break up. Temporary or not, it's up to you.

...Regarding your second option, did you really mean to ask for REMUS to break up with LUPIN?

Okay, so you probably didn't really mean to ask for Remus/Lupin angsty breakup but I couldn't resist writing it. Here you go. XDDDD Don't hate me for it. *will probably write your first request anyway as well*

~*~

Ever since his first transformation, the wolf had prowled around the edges of Remus' mind hungrily. Feed, it growled when it saw meat. Mate, it snarled when girls wearing certain scents (musky, inviting, the wolf didn't see any attraction in flowery or delicate perfumes) walked past. And most disturbingly of all was what it snarled whenever it saw Sirius with one of his many girlfriends -- Kill.

Remus thought of the wolf-mind as an 'it' because to call it 'him' would be to humanize it too much. Better to keep it as a scab or perhaps more accurately, a rash. An ugly rash, hive-like, that his clothes could cover up but that itched him all the time.

When he was told that there was an experimental cure for lycanthropy, he offered to test it instantly. Anything to get rid of that alien presence in his mind that gnawed at the corners of his thoughts like a dog with a bone that just wouldn't let go.

He drunk down the liquid, spent a week buckled down to a bed as his human body convulsed mindlessly -- and then didn't change when the full moon rolled past.

Remus woke up clear-eyed the morning after the full moon, and smiled up at his anxiously waiting friends. There was a general sigh of relief, then cheering.

The return to his normal life was easy. The wolf was quiet when the meat was laid out on the table and Remus considered becoming a vegetarian. Bellatrix leaned in just a little too close during Potions and all Remus felt was annoyance as she argued with Sirius.

Then she touched his cousin's arm (bloodtraitor), and smiled that Black smile, magic as dark as diseased blood, born of generations of inbreeding, and Remus felt the wolf inside awaken with an angry howl that made his blood run hot and his heart break open.

He passed out in the middle of Potions class, and when he woke, the wolf was there again in his mind as if it had never left. It did not greet him, or welcome its return, but Remus felt it look up at Sirius through his eyes and make a satisfied sound.

Even after Sirius left through the Veil, the wolf remained with Remus. The wolf would always remain with Remus.

... oh boy, hobbit needs sleep.

Let's try that again.

Remus/Sirius angst.

But that was the best typo I ever made. (The sad thing is, I didn't notice my typo until I read the drabble and was like "Wait..that's more Remus/Werewolf...OOHHH") I especially like the description of the Black smile. And how did you know I like jealous!Remus or jealous!Sirius? O:)

BTW, I think I may have out-geeked Linux/Alienware.

Potassium/Membrane/Potassium Ion Channel. I will NEVER be able to look at my research in the same way again.

Then there was Carbon/Nitrogen. Thankfully, we're not allowed to synthesize cyanide in lab...at least not in large quantities. But thinking back on all the syntheses in Orgo...oh, the possibilities!

HAH! Oh man, you so ought to write that. Just for the hell of being able to say that you have!

Fickle needs sleep too!

And okay, looks like I have a new request to add to the list to do today. XD

And yeah, that was way too much fun to write. I knew that you'd typoed, obviously, but after a while, a plotbunny sank its teeth into me and made me write Remus/Werewolf. I didn't know you liked them jealous but YAY for hitting something you liked. *shall bear that mind for the future*
