Another year, another set of drabbles.
Good morning everyone *curls up with* Am not entirely awake yet. Need food but will get to that shortly. I'm gonna make me some bacon and eggs and muffins. Yum :)
25 drabbles this year compared to 21 last year. omg so that's where my brain went. All but one has been sent *hugs Kalli* Yours is going to be a New years gift I think, sweetling ♥ A couple did give me much trouble in refusing to be written and I've got a couple new fandoms that I did drabbles for. Not really planning to write in them again but you never know where one might be inspired to play.
The many varied drabbles include: FF7, FF8, FF8/WK crossover cos certain peoples know how to twist my arm, FF8/FF9 crossover AU but it's not really AU to the rp gals, FFX, KH, Castlevania, LoK because there will likely never be a drabble post without some vampy lovin, D.E. cos how can I not play there, SW...yes SW which was much of a challenge, Bleach cos I'm a Bleach fangirl and they are Bleach fangirls too...remind me to watch the latest episode after breakfast, a Suikoden one and a G00 one. Yep, I wrote a G00 drabble and do hope I haven't botched it up.
You're welcome to try and guess who got what but you also don't have to. Some of those drabbles had a few false starts so hopefully they turned out okay. Not everyone got drabbles, sorry, as for some I have no idea at all what to write and some are short but that's what the muses gave me ^^; Anyways go read and enjoy. I'm off to make some food.
FF8 - Squall made the best snow. Qusitis said it was due to his high junction level with Shiva. Others believed that no less than the best was acceptable to their Commander. Seifer told them all it was an innate ability, that the ice princess was a cold bastard so snow was no trouble really. No one was surprised to hear Seifer slept on the sofa that night.
FF8 LS - Seifer tasted of milk and chocolate chip cookies as Squall kissed him languidly, one hand holding the itchy white beard out of the way while the other attempted to undo the belt hidden by a very fake oversized belly. Neither man saw or heard the young boy gaping at them as they kissed under the mistletoe. The following morning Squall made Seifer explain to Isan that Santa didn’t really exist and that no, mommy hadn’t been kissing a stranger.
KH - Leon was doing his best to listen to Cid explain how to make good old-fashioned egg-nog. It was just a little hard when Sora, Riku, Cloud and Aerith were sitting on the other side of the table sucking suggestively on candy canes.
Bleach - Toshiro had forgotten it was Christmas in the real world when Mastumoto convinced him to attend a hot spring with her. They’d shocked quite a few patrons by kissing under the mistletoe as was tradition according to Ichigo and his friends from school. It was Toshiro’s first kiss, but certainly not his last with how his vice-captain was now watching him.
Bleach - Kenpachi promised a world of hurt with his eyes should anyone comment on what Yachiru had done to his hair. He should have known better than to let her play with it before the party. Bykauya’s eyes promised death should another choose to take advantage of the eleven pieces of mistletoe that replaced Kenpachi’s usual bells. Kenpachi made sure to lean over his companion often and also made a mental note to buy something special for his daughter.
KH - Leon eyed the mistletoe carefully. He’d read in the library that it was poisonous and could not bring himself to relax in a room decorated with the stuff, tradition or not. He didn’t get a chance to read more about it thanks to Yuffie dragging him away to help with party arrangements. With the strategic placement of the green sprigs Leon couldn’t help but wonder if they were going to explode or something. The random travelers passing through Radiant Garden had the strangest ideas of fun. Understanding came later when Cloud dragged him under one bunch and kissed him until he couldn’t think. Then it was much fun.
SW - There was a plastic tree decorated with lights and colorful bits of paper and old console buttons in one of the busier corridors of the Hoth base. Luke had no idea where someone had found the tree or what purpose it served other than to provide something different to look at other than white, white, random parts, supplies and more white. After a long lecture on customs of Alderaan and Christmas in particular from a certain protocol droid, Luke decided it was time to work on his light saber skills. Surely Leia would enjoy an ice sculpture of her homeworld more than the tree Han found.
FF8/KH AU - Irvine decided not to let Kuja out of his dorm room for the entirety of the Christmas party. The short festive Santa’s helper costume was not the problem. It was the large velvet bow attached to a lightly swaying tail. Irvine decided it was one present only he was allowed to unwrap.
KH - Roxas didn’t know if he should laugh or not. Red really wasn’t Axel’s color. Especially the tight fitting Santa suit with an Organization design overcoat and white fur edged hat, even if the outfit did come complete with Santa’s sleigh to take for a ride.
LoK - Vorador preferred to stay with Janos during the winter months, the swamp he so loved becoming a slushy mess due to the extreme cold. The pure white snow surrounding Janos’ aerie wasn’t much better but more often than not he barely noticed the world outside his sire’s bed where he could see wings quiver in pleasure and watch blood stained lips gasp his name. He knew of no better gift than the other vampire in his arms.
FFX - Braska was quite content to remain in Bevelle while many of Yevon’s priests and worshippers fled to Luca’s warmer climate. After all, it would be difficult for his little Yuna to teach their new friend, a warrior monk named Auron, how to catch snowflakes on his tongue if there wasn’t any around.
Bleach - It was the middle of a freezing cold night when Kenpachi returned from a mission, eyes still bright from the excitement of battle. Byakuya took one look at his unexpected guest and donned his warmest coat and gloves before joining the entire eleventh squad in the largest snowball fight Seireitei had ever seen. It didn’t take them long to cool down and seek their beds, a victorious Kenpachi dragging Byakuya off to his bed as spoils of war.
FF7 - Tseng found he didn’t actually mind attending the Shin-ra staff Christmas party. With Reno spiking everything to drink, the head of the Turk division eventually got decent bribe material on everyone, even SOLDIER members, for the next year if not longer.
G00 - It had been Sumeragi’s idea to hold a Christmas party, insisting everyone dress for the season. Tieria was not amused to be dressed as Santa’s helper, the red coat with white trim all he was allowed to wear besides a pair of red boots. He kept trying to pull it down, worried with how he was beginning to feel about Setsuna watching his every move when he was supposed to be handing out gifts from his Santa sack. Lasse solved the problem by wrapping him in a large red sheet, tying it with and equally large silver ribbon and presenting him to Setsuna who promptly carried his present from the room for unwrapping, Lasse following them with a pleased smile, red nose flashing and reindeer antlers slightly askew.
D.E. - Sparhawk said nothing as Talen crawled into bed with him, the teen thief complaining about how cold it was outside the Chapter house, about the snow making it hard for him to find any useful information and about the speed of the cook with her spoon. Yet he tasted of spiced fruit tarts when he opened his mouth to the knight’s kisses, Sparhawk covering the slightly chilled youth with his body. Talen would warm up soon enough and forget all about the pre-Christmas festivities outside.
FF8 - Squall was glad he didn’t unwrap his secret santa gift in front of the rest of the orphanage gang. The perfectly molded glass dildo could have only come from one person and he didn’t want anyone to know just how well hung his boyfriend was. He was also banning Irvine from giving him secret santa gifts ever again, no matter how good they were.
FF8 MM - Squall wasn’t sure who to kiss first when Irvine and Laguna trapped him under the mistletoe, arms wrapped around each other to keep him between them. They didn’t seem to sure either, Laguna solving the dilemma by kissing Irvine first. Squall simply enjoyed the show while waiting for his turn to kiss his older lover.
FF8 - It was well known that Seifer preferred summer over winter, just like Squall enjoyed the winter more or Zell liked any kind of thunderstorm. The gunblader stayed with Balamb instead of accepting missions in warmer areas. Winter meant Zell in his small bed every night, snuggling close under warm blankets, tattooed cheek using his chest for a pillow. One of these days Seifer would apply for double occupancy and a bigger bed but for now he was content to leave things as they were.
Castlevania - It had been totally unexpected, the mistletoe sprig hanging above the bar in the small tavern they‘d called into for the night. Both Trevor and Alucard knew it was likely meant for a barmaid to be given a kiss and yet here they were standing together under it. An expectant hush fell over the rowdy bar and Alucard caught a glimpse of Trevor’s gloved hand just before it slid lightly along his jaw, tilting his face slightly upwards. The whistles were deafening, Trevor’s body hard and his blood intoxicating. Alucard made sure to keep his face hidden as he licked his lips clean and retracted his fangs. Trevor ordered wine for them both and left an extra tip for their helpful barmaid.
FF8/WK - Snowball fights were not Squall’s thing. He did better at close combat, his aim well off as he tried to hit Irvine or Yohji with a handful of compacted snow. What he didn’t expect was an attack from his ‘teammate’, Aya’s hands as cold as the snow now melting in his pants. The offer of a hot shower to warm up was quickly accepted, the door locked to keep out the two fools who suggested the game in the first place.
KH - King Mickey could never understand why all of his and Goofy’s socks went missing the closer it got to Christmas. Finally one of Donald’s nephews explained that bigger socks meant more gifts from Santa. Mickey made sure Minnie gave everyone the largest socks she could find for Christmas.
Sephiroth sized up his opponent carefully. The proportions were near perfect, not too tall or wide. He could hear Zack grumbling at him to just hurry up, complaining about the cold as if this wasn’t his idea to begin with. It’ll bring color to your room…and Cloud will like it, he’d said not a couple hours earlier. Yet as Masamune glinted in the sunlight, blade slightly tarnished with fresh earth, Sephiroth couldn’t help but wonder what Hojo was going to think of a living decorated tree in his SOLDIER quarters. Not that he cared, if he could see Cloud smile. That was all that mattered.
Suikoden - Tir felt quite safe as he knelt on Gremio’s steady shoulders to place a star on the brightly decorated tree. There were a few gasps when he slipped, a familiar set of arms catching him well before he would have hit the floor. Smiling as he was carried away, Tir enjoyed the way Gremio’s heart beat just that little faster for him. It was worth the scolding he was about to get for scaring everyone.
FFX - Lulu snuggled into Auron’s coat that he draped over her chilled body as he went to take his turn at watching the snow covered cave mouth for monsters. Sleepily she cast a wind spell that wrapped about the warrior monk like a warm caress, a nod of thanks and a slight smile following her into her dreams.
FF8 - There was little Irvine enjoyed more than waking up on Christmas morning with a naked Squall in his bed and no responsibilities to drag his lover away.
Now...about that food *putters off*

You've not got your parcel yet? Cos these drabbles are in the cards. I usually try to write a little something for a pairing I know each card recipient likes. It should be fairly obvious which yours is but considering I wrote FFX ones as well as Bleach you might be a little unsure *grins* It's the first Ken-chan/Byakuya one ;)

So I'm certain that when we lose the snow all of our late Christmas parcels will arrive.
Also, your package is late becuase I haven't sent it yet. ...I bought another thing for it today. I need to get it closed up and stop buying you things.

Merry Christmas. Yeah, I don't even know what number you have now! I switched to a sprint one while in Florida and now I'm using an Italian one since I'm living in Italy. But I'll be switching to my American one whenever I go to states (Ie: Yaoi con '09!!)

Not working on GR:NP currently - still trying to finish up some of those requests. But yes, you should know all to well that I'm a hopeless romantic who needs a happy ending for all characters possible... except the bad guys, of course. ;)
From:

My number hasn't changed, but with all the moving around you've been doing since you've gotten into the Navy, I wouldn't be surprised if you've lost it by now. You're gonna be at Yaoi-Con next year? Sweet! I'm gonna do my best to go. Gotta see you and Irvy again, definitely. Maybe we can room again too. :P
From:
no subject
Yay ficlets. Which will get read by all your flist.
Does this mean Cid gets a happy ending too? Cos him getting cosy with a black-haired, red-eyed girl screams pining for a certain vampire-ish fellow ;) I thought that was a nice touch actually to sneak Vincent's attributes in. Cid probably doesn't even realize what he's doing.
Bad guys do not deserve happy endings. Unless it's Sephy cos he's not technically bad, just messed up in the head.

Bleh, I have one mostly done and the other is completely planned. The problem is always writing the damn bastard ficlets. =P
*laugh* Okay, I rescind my comment. Sadly, I don't have time to give *everyone* a happy ending, but I don't like leaving obvious characters mopey and alone. Cid is quite happy with his style of life and I'm certain he has gummy ships aplenty to go visit his Vincent-gender-bender. ;) But yay, I'm glad that someone caught that about his pick! You're the first to mention anything and I wondered if it was too subtle. What can I say, I love tossing in random 'easter eggs' of sorts in my stories for people to find if they bother to look. ;)
From:
no subject
*laughs* You're the one who decided to offer ficlets. I enjoy revisiting certain pairings with the drabbles. means they get a little love each year if it's written for a particular persona s part of the card drabbles.
I think I spotted it on my first read through of the chapter but never got around to commenting. I actually just finished re-reading all you've written for the game restart series, hence me asking about more. I think next time you do ficlets I'm going to request the Zack and Cloud...if you don't write it first ;) The Cid/Vincent thing isn't too subtle at all. People probably forget Cincent seeing a she's not showed up at all in KH. I like to think he's there somewhere, likely in a coffin in halloween town sleeping. Helps also that I ship them *grin*
From:
no subject
Yes, yes, I know that I'm the one to put myself into the situation of writing ficlets (ha, and I actually thought that I'd manage a drabble or two), but I still reserve my right to complain about it. I have to admit, though, that I envy your drabbles. They are perfect, managing an entire scene in a hundred words or so. BTW, I forgot to thank you for that as a part of my other Christmas presents... so, thank you, again! ;)
Tsk, tsk, stop rereading my stories so much! You'll figure out where I made up things as I went along, while completely forgetting the information I had already set up. Yes, I'm quite bad at that. =P Well, KH3 is coming eventually, so more characters are going to appear and I can't imagine why Vincent wouldn't be one of them (as you say, a vampire in Halloween Town works too well).
From:
no subject
Bah, my drabbles are just a tease really. Take the best scene type thing, word it carefully so it doesn't run away from you and then hit the send button before the muses can talk you into more *smirk* Drabbles can be harder in that way too seeing as you first have to find the moment to write about as well as keeping them varied when doing so many that everyone will get to see.
Would you be horrified to know that most of your stories are saved in a folder all of their own on the laptop. They're like comfort fics when I'm not in the mood to do anything much or need a feel good moment or three ;) The folder needs updating actually to add the ficlets.
Vincent in Halloween Town is the obvious answer although he could probably go most anywhere. What other worlds don't yet have a FF character? Besides Atlatica? *cringes at thougth of singing*
From:
no subject
I think that's my main problem - the muses love to keep talking to me. I can't count the number of stories that have chapters which were much longer than planned. That's why my 'drabbles' are 1,000 words instead of 100. ;) But yes, I can imagine it being difficult to set a scene in one or two sentences. I'm too much of a perfectionist, wanting people to see the story like I do. I know it's impossible to do that, really, but that's why I get so wordy.
*laugh* Actually, I'm not too surprised since you used to print the stories (despite my protests), so I've come to terms with you keeping the fics handy. However, I admit to constantly thinking that you have gotten bored with SxS in the recent years, thus my stories. I know you have said otherwise, but I'm a forgetful person. ;) Either way, I'm very happy to provide a few feel-good moments. I certainly have my own selection of fics I read whenever I need that little pick-me-up.
Most of the worlds don't have FF characters in KH/2 canon - Agrabah, Pride Lands, Neverland, Tarzan's world... None of the actual 'Disney' worlds, I think, aside from Olympus due to the tournaments. The random ones like Hallow Bastion, Twilight Town, etc, are the FF infested worlds. But maybe I'm remembering wrong.
From:
no subject
I had good reason for printing out your stories. Was on holiday in Tassie remember? With paying for internets time. Man that was years ago too that I was doing that.
And don't you ever be thinking I don't enjoy the pairing *noogies* I'm just rather picky as to the authors I read as well as style. I prefer multipart fic or long one-shots over shorter things. More enjoyable that way as you get a feel for the story and aren't left wanting which is usually what happens with the shorter fics I've read.
I read a short fic once of Braska being in Agrabah and that has cemented in my mind and now no other characters can appear there ^^; I think kalli and I put Zell in Neverland and Irvine in Tarzan's world. That world would suit Zidane and Kuja too what with the tail thing but I never was able to get into FF9. I think you're right about the Disney worlds not actually having their own FF/KH person. That needs to be changed so everyone has a chance of finding who they're looking for.

Yes, I can. And I almost always do. Though I'm aiming more to show them off to my friends. They've never heard of them. -grins- Mmm... Babies...
From:

I thought you also printed out stories to read at work during your breaks... though that could've been someone else. I remember someone complaining about the paper they were 'wasting' on my long ass chapters. ;)
Wah, no noogies! But yay, I'm glad that you still like my fav bois despite your stronger love for Squall with Irvine. That means even more drabbles in the future. ;) And yeah, I completely agree with enjoying the longer fics. I like having the chance to delve deeper into the story and get a good sense of the world and the main pairing's relationship compared to other stories.
Heh, we'll see what they do with KH3. From the trailers, it looks more FF centered that Disney based, but I thought the same with the initial KH2 trailers, so I could be completely wrong in my hopefulness. It's funny how the main story lines are very FF-like and deals with human characters while all of the side/unimportant stuff is Disney based. ;)

Nope, that was someone else. I was only printing them out for reading while on holiday - aka the flight down and then while I was there cos you were posting each week so I couldn't miss keeping updated. I might have complained...not sure and we will probably never find out as those chats while I was in Tassie aren't saved anywhere.
I can't help that Irvine pinged me the hardest when I tossed Squall at him :D Zell managed a series with Squall before the multipart with Irvine ate my brain and then they stuck as a pairing. I do still have a few Seifer bunnies getting around. Might need to read the game script as well as a few of your fics to get him right in my head before starting them. Perhaps I should replay the game. I think I last left them outside Galbadia Garden on disk 1.
I've not checked any recent KH3 trailers. When is it due out?

Phft, I don't think KH3 has a release date, or it's a vague one that is eventually going to get bumped to a different date. Just trailers to taunt us, much like Dissidia and FF13.

Probably will get bumped and you're right in they do like to tease us into a buying frenzy when the games finally arrive.
Question: which world might be likely to have gargoyle statues...besides Notre Dame >.>
