shimotsuki: shimo_default (writing2)
[personal profile] shimotsuki
Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] ladybracknell. Because I go on vacation tomorrow (it's a working vacation, but still), so why not write a few...drabblettes? drabblinos? subdrabbles?

...I think I like "subdrabbles".

Give me two characters and one word and I will write you something using no more than 30 words. (In fact, I'll try for exactly 30. Ha.)

Fandoms:
  1. Harry Potter [SB, GW, stymied] [RL/NT, hula] [LE, RL, look] [RL/NT, questionable] [JP, RL, fear] [RL/NT, sugar] [AB/TT, courting] [RL/NT, first steps]
  2. Chalion/Paladin [prayer] [bump] [duty] [lessons]
  3. Vorkosi-verse [trouble]
  4. The Thief (as spoiler-free as I can manage)
  5. My original characters Allison and Nathan from [livejournal.com profile] pulped_fictions [rain]

Note: I may not actually finish these until this evening or tomorrow. We'll see how the dreadfully boring editing of a departmental policy document goes this afternoon. ;) ETA: And please don't mind if I do them out of order -- blame it on the muse!

Drabbletini?

I'll have Allison/Nathan and... rain, please :D.

Is that like a martini? I think I'm on board...

Allison can remember days when they went walking in the rain. Nathan would laugh and kiss raindrops from her eyelashes.

Today he'd grumbled and stalked away, alone with his umbrella.

1) Sirius and George. 'stymied'

What a fun little meme. Looking forward to the results.

I seriously feel like blowing off some of my schoolwork today and writing something... Hmmm, maybe I should write something that includes surfing so I can vicariously cool off?

From: [identity profile] shimotsuki.livejournal.com
Did you get in any writing or vicarious surfing? Sounds like a nice way to take a break!

“It’s no use,” said Sirius glumly.

George, startled, spun around.

I can’t get the liquor cabinet open, either.” Sirius scowled. “This has Moony written all over it.”

Remus & Tonks! Hula. ;)

12GP is not as cool as Kauai, but...

Tonks boggled at the sight of Remus, sipping tea—in a hula skirt.

“Don’t ask,” he said. “I lost a bet with Sirius.”

But his eyes crinkled.

Lupin, Lily, look.

He hauled himself painfully through the portrait hole into the common room. Lily was watching, eyes narrowed, frowning thoughtfully.

How many months would he have before she worked it out?

LOL! And you obviously have Hawaii on the brain, not that I am jealous or anything.

What a neat idea! Have a Paladin prompt:

Ista, Illvin, prayer

Date: 2010-07-24 03:05 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shimotsuki.livejournal.com
Nice one!

They left the temple together.

“What did you pray for?”

Illvin looked sheepish. “Nothing in particular. Prayers are harder once you’ve learned that your god might answer them.”

Caz, Betriz, bump.

From: [identity profile] shimotsuki.livejournal.com
I thought about being subversive, but I'll play it straight. ;)

Cazaril felt the baby kick again under his hand.

“It doesn’t...remind you of anything, does it?” Betriz murmured.

He smiled. “Only of how much I love my wife.”

Oooh nice idea! What to ask for????

Keeping with the Chalion theme ;)

Caz, Palli and duty

Date: 2010-07-25 01:51 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shimotsuki.livejournal.com
It's a good theme! :)

Cazaril came limping along the battlements. “You’re relieved.”

“I’m fine,” Palli insisted. “Go relieve little Dazpa.”

Caz’s smile flashed. Palli straightened, forgetting his hunger for a moment.

Miles, Ivan and trouble ;)

From: [identity profile] shimotsuki.livejournal.com
(I've never written Miles before!)

Miles snorted. “Ivan, you’re twenty-five years old!”

You stay, if you like.” Ivan crossed his arms. “But I sure won't be here when your mother finds out.”

From: [identity profile] shimotsuki.livejournal.com
This format really needs a name! ;) (Also: awesome icon.)

“Think twice before you touch that.” Tonks had a menacing edge to her voice.

“Hmm?” Remus looked up, all innocence.

“You know that’s my box of Chocoballs.”

I've just started rereading The Curse of Chalion, so Cazaril, the Provincara, and lessons.

She found him in the library, leafing through books. “How go the lessons, Castillar?”

He straightened, still moving stiffly, and grinned. “Very well. I learn something every day.”

How about James and Remus, fear.

Date: 2010-07-25 03:26 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shimotsuki.livejournal.com
Ooh, that's a nice prompt.

“I’m scared,” James admitted. His eyes had stopped laughing. “Moody thinks there’s a spy in the Order.”

Remus shivered. “Thank Merlin we four can trust each other.”

Sugar

From: [identity profile] shimotsuki.livejournal.com
“But I don’t take sugar in my tea,” he protested.

The pretty pink-haired witch, Sirius’s cousin, laughed at him and added more. “Try it. You might be surprised.”

Andromeda/Ted and courting. :)

From: [identity profile] shimotsuki.livejournal.com
This made me think!

“I don’t talk to Hufflepuffs!” she said to Bellatrix. “Why would I?”

But when her eyes found Ted’s, away across the Great Hall, they said something else entirely.

Remus/Tonks and first steps.

Hee! I'm laughing because I've been working on an R/T piece lately, and I almost called it that (though now I'm thinking "One Step Forward"). So here's a 30-word version of a fic-in-progress. ;)

The voice was still there, in his head, shrieking about how wrong this was. But the dark eyes looking back at him said otherwise.

He kissed her.

His heart soared.
