A-Z Multifandom Drabbling Meme!
So, in a bid to break my bad case of Writer's block and get back into writing again, I present:

The Great A-Z Multifandom Drabbling Meme!

Gacked from leni_ba, who did a great Haji/Saya one.

This is how it works:

1. Pick a letter.
2. Pick a prompt that starts with that letter (ex. K is for Keyhole)
3. Pick a fandom, a character/pairing and a rating. Or if you want to leave it up to me, that works, too. =)

Leave them in a comment and I'll write a 100 word drabble for you.

And here is a list of my fandoms, for easy reference:

Bones - only till S3, though.
Blood+ - anime and mangaverse
Farscape - I haven't written any, but I've just had a rewatch, so my love for the series has been rekindled.
Firefly
Fullmetal Alchemist - both anime series - though I've only seen Brotherhood upto the most recent episode aired.
Harry Potter
Hellsing - mangaverse only
Inuyasha - manga and animeverse
Kyou Kara Maou
The Lord of the Rings - book and movieverse
The Pretender - heh, the show that first got me into shipping and fandoms...
Dr. Who - I have been known to write/read some Whofic. :P
Toradora!
Darker than BLACK
Nodame Cantabile
Honey and Clover Although I'll admit the only ship I really like is Morita/Yamada
Tears to Tiara
Toward the Terra

and, of course, most Bollywood movies, cause I do Bollyfic, too. And maybe even Telugu ones, if you want. :P

So, please to participate and prompt me? Pretty please?

for youngcurmudgeon

‘Are you saying I couldn’t pull off looking like some fancy pants Core dweller?’

It was his best outraged expression, but Zoe remained unmoved.

‘Sir,I just think it would be more…believable…if the young Doctor were to join Inara on this job.’

‘And why is that, exactly?’

He really should have known better—at least enough not to have asked the question in front of Kaylee and the little crazy girl.

‘Because the invitation reads ‘family only’, and I’ve never seen a brother look at his sister the way you look at Inara. Sir.’

Kaylee was still giggling two days later.



T for the Trio in the TARDIS—Harry Potter/Doctor Who crossover, genfic, G
for leviathan0999

‘This is the last time I let you Apparate us, Ron.’

‘I swear, Hermione, I was aiming for the empty lot behind the station—’

‘Look, you two, can we save it for when we get out of here?’

‘Where exactly are we, anyway?’

‘Dunno. Did anyone else hear a whirring sound when we Apparated in?’

‘Look, there’s a door here—’

As it swung shut behind them, an excited voice floated back inside: ‘It’s smaller on the outside, look! It’s—’

A moment later, a dark haired man climbed up out of an underground panel.

‘Odd. I could’ve sworn I’d heard voices.’



C for Covers, Kyou Kara Maou, Conrart/Yuuri, PG
for teef_chan

He took a deep breath. Let it out again.

And told himself he was being an idiot.

He was the Maou. And he’d faced far worse—like his mother’s penchant for putting him in absurd costumes.

So why was he cowering in a little heap of covers at the end of the bed?

This was Conrad. Conrad. He wanted this, despite the fact that he now felt he may expire of nerves.

‘Your Majesty?’

‘Conrad, don’t—’

As firm lips were pressed to his, he had to admit it had been a good way to get him to come out.



W for Weekend type shenanigans at the Hellsing Institute, Hellsing, Alucard/Integra, PG
for litele_one

It was the weekend, but she was at home, practising.

Which was as he’d expected, really. She was not made for insipid little parties and callow brats who prattled on about their money and their power in order to impress girls.

This was her truest form; the blade a mere flash of silver as she whipped it through the air.

She was a warrior. He could see her now; standing triumphant on the battlefield, painted with the blood of her enemies—sword in hand and his name on her lips—

‘Count…’

Yes, he had chosen well.

Integra Hellsing would be magnificent.



A for Aragorn and Arwen, The Lord of the Rings, Aragorn/Arwen, G
for lindahoyland

He was but a boy when he left, an orphan her father had taken into his house for the memory of a beloved brother.

He had not spoken to her of love in that first meeting, though she had seen it blazing out of his very eyes.

Her father sent her away after that, and she obeyed, though his fears made her laugh. That she could love a child such as Estel was absurd.

In Lothlorien, her days passed in peace, until the day a battle hardened warrior came to her under the golden mallorns.

And then she was lost.



R for Rescue, Firefly, Simon/Kaylee, G
For youngcurmudgeon

‘I see your dishes and I raise you…septic tank evac duty.’

‘You’re bluffing!’

‘Play or fold, pretty boy, don’t sit’n chatter at me.’

‘Whatcha guys—Hey! You’re using bent cards, Jayne! You got Simon drunk so he wouldn’t notice! And—Cap'n, you too?’

‘Aw, Kaylee, just when I was going to win, too!’

She ignored Jayne’s whining as she tugged a slightly drunk—and giggly—Simon out of his chair and down the corridor to his bunk.

‘You shoulda known better, doc. Lucky for you I came along when I did.’

‘My hero,’ he murmured, and she rolled her eyes.



H for Happiness, Inyasha, Sesshomaru/Rin, G [Manga ending spoilers!]
for litele_one

‘Are you happy, Sesshomaru?’

His mother values subtlety; he hears the words she does not say.

Are you happy with her—happy with Rin?

And he remembers: her tears when he had left her with the miko and, years later, the quiet resolve in her eyes as she left with him; hard, bruising kisses and soft, stolen caresses by moonlight and firelight; the undemanding companionship she offers him and the insatiable lust she can arouse in him; her brilliant smile, and the answering emotion it stirs in him.

‘This Sesshomaru is not…unhappy,’ he says finally.

And his mother smiles.



Z for Zipper, Kyou Kara Maou, Gwendal/Anissina, PG
For daystarsmom2

It was rare, but some of Anissina’s inventions didn’t require a test subject—in which case, Gwendal didn’t much mind looking at them.

‘Hold on, I’ll just—’

Anissina quickly stepped behind her changing screen, while he rolled his eyes and huffed impatiently.

‘Gwendal, look!’

He looked. And was left speechless.

Were trousers meant to be so tight? How could she possibly get in and out of them?

And was she always that—

‘See, it holds things closed, so I finally have a pair that fit. And—Gwendal, are you paying attention?’

As they both agreed—much, much later—it was one of her best inventions.



M for Mulling things over, Harry Potter, Harry/Hermione/Ron, PG BOMHverse
for leviathan0999

‘Now that I think about it, I wouldn’t have minded marrying you, Hermione.’

‘Alright, no more Firewhiskey for you.’

‘I’m serious! I love Ginny, but—it wouldn’t have been so bad, marrying my best friend.’

‘I thought I was your best friend.’

‘Sorry, Hermione’s more attractive.’

‘Not too late. I could always divorce Ron.’

‘Nope. We come in a pair—Harry marries both of us, or neither.’

‘We should just have a threesome and be done with it, really.’

An awkward silence follows, and when an apologetic Ginny finally joins them, they're all a little too glad to see her.



J for Justice, Blood+ [mangaverse], Haji/Saya, G [Manga Spoilers!]
for leni_ba

She prefers the boy.

She is silent and puzzled around him—though he can see the memories slowly unfurling in her eyes—and she laughs and giggles with Kai.

He runs a finger down the comb he had rescued from the fire; the first—and last—present he ever has given her.

He still remembers the grateful smile she had given him—before she had slashed her hair off.

‘If there’s any justice in the world, monsters like us won’t get a happy ending,’ she had said to him once.

He wonders if her words will come true, after all.



F for Faramir, The Lord of the Rings, Faramir/Eowyn, G
for lindahoyland

This is not the future she had dreamed of as a child in the Golden Hall.

Having lost a beloved uncle to despair and senility, hounded by the despicable Wormtongue every waking moment; she had longed for a courageous man to stand against the darkness with her.

Her husband is not the warrior she had once wanted. He prefers a library to the battlefield, and the pursuit of knowledge to that of a foe.

But Faramir has taught her to dream again—of things beyond glory on a battlefield.

This is not the future she had envisioned.

It is better.



B for Boon, Inuyasha, genfic, G
for litele_one

The inutaiyoukai has always seemed invincible—hidden behind an impenetrable wall of indifference as surely as he was protected by his great power and strength.

To put it simply, he simply did not care about many of the things that others found important.

It had once seemed that his father’s sword would become his great obsession, but now—

Now the human child follows him, chattering and laughing—and he lets her.

And he knows: he has found Sesshomaru’s weakness.

It is as a boon from the heavens above.

As he contemplates the endless possibilities now open to him, Naraku smiles.



G for Grass, Kyou Kara Maou, Huber/Nicola, G
for teef_chan

‘More?’

He looks up at his companion, who smilingly offers him fruit. He had found her by the side of the road—unconscious?—and panicked, he had run to her—

But then she had scrambled to her feet, and he had belatedly realised she had simply been asleep.

He would have left, embarrassed, but she had coaxed him to join her.

Now, he sits, bemused as he shares her lunch.

He does not deserve this. He is on a mission.

But the grass is warm under his hands, and he thinks he can allow himself this brief moment of respite.



N for Nursing, Kyou Kara Maou, Gwendal/Anissina, G
for daystarsmom2

‘Oh, what now?’

Frowning, Gwendal enters the lab. It’s been years since he’s heard that tone of voice.

And sure enough, Anissina is curled up on her couch, sniffling pitifully.

With a sigh, he rings for a maid to bring him some of Gisela’s extra strength cold medicine. He coaxes some into Anissina with difficulty, settling her into bed soon after.

He remembers her telling him once that she hated to let anyone see her weak and helpless—but somehow, she doesn’t seem too concerned that he is with her now.

He will have to ask her about it tomorrow.



E for Elemental, Doctor Who, genfic, G
for ladybranwyn

‘…so then I thought, well, it has to be him, doesn’t it?’

He stopped. This was usually the part where the Doctor and Rose rolled their eyes and ignored whatever he’d just said to make plans of their own.

‘That was brilliant, Mickey!’

He blinked. Rose was smiling at him, and even the Doctor had a look in his eyes that Mickey had never seen before – one of grudging respect.

He beamed. ‘Elemental, my dear Rose.’

Rose sighed, the Doctor rolled his eyes and muttered, ‘Should’ve known it wouldn’t last,’ and he knew: he was back to being The Dog.



V for Vengeance, Firefly, Mal/Inara, G [Post BDM]
For browncoat_2x2

He touches her heart—and he does it without even trying.

He won’t admit to being similarly affected by her, however. Not anymore.

It isn’t right that she is the only one who feels this way; like she is adrift in a storm of emotion.

Her pride will not allow him to hide it any longer.

So Inara takes her vengeance—in the middle of another pointless argument, she presses her lips to his—and relishes the shock and awakening desire in his eyes as she smiles, and walks away.

Now, she is not the only one drowning in emotion.



L for Loner, Blood+ [animeverse], Haji/Saya, G
for lullabyes22

He should be used to being alone by now.

But to have lost her to her Sleep, just when—

‘Haji?’

He isn’t startled, having heard her coming. That he does not mind her presence here surprises him more.

‘Lulu.’

‘Don’t stop because of me, Haji, Saya won’t forgive me!’

As she settles herself next to him with a smile and he resumes playing the cello, it occurs to him that it is likely that Lulu will wait out the thirty years of Saya’s sleep with him. Always constant, never aging, never dying—

He finds he does not mind the thought.



S for Secrecy, Doctor Who/Firefly crossover, Mal/Inara, the Doctor/Rose, G [Pre BDM/Pre S3]
for goldy_dollar

They meet in a hall filled with light and music, laughter echoing off the walls.

They stand side by side for a few moments, observing the dancers.

‘Don’t think I could pull that off without looking stupid,’ he says finally, ‘but why’re you sitting this one out?’

‘I’m not very good at dancing,’ she murmurs with a self-deprecating smile. She pauses. ‘I am good at keeping secrets, however.’

He turns startled eyes to her, before giving her a heartbreaking smile.

‘So am I,’ he says, and she nods, because she well knows that some memories are too precious to share.



P for Potholes, Doctor Who, Rose/the Doctor/Jack, G
for teef_chan

They were a triangle.

And in this triangle, it was essential that all points be the same distance from each other. To avoid any…unpleasantness.

So why was Captain Jack Harkness deliberately aiming for every single pothole in the road?

The jeep jerked again, throwing the Doctor against Jack’s side. Jack flashed him a smile as he changed gears and accidentally brushed his hand against the Doctor’s leg.

With a glare, Rose threaded her fingers through the Doctor’s hand and pulled him closer to her side.

Jack simply grinned at her, too.

The Doctor sighed, and wondered when they’d get there.



Q for Quest, Bones, Zack Addy, G
for mobiuswolf

He has always sought knowledge.

And so when he came along, promising to teach him how to make sense of the world, he found he couldn’t refuse.

It had been fun, at first, seeing Agent Booth strain at the leash and Dr. Brennan and the rest of his colleagues confounded and puzzled by their elusive prey. He had hugged his secret to himself, enjoying the feeling of knowing something none of the others knew.

When the quest for ‘Gormogon’ ended, though, he finally understood that perhaps they had always known something that he had never been able to fully grasp.



X for Xenophobia, The Lord of the Rings, Thorongil and the people of Gondor, G
for just_ann_now

They are his people, though they do not know it.

They know him only as a Captain from the North, a trusted second in command to Ecthelion, their beloved Steward.

It does not stop them from whispering behind his back.

Look at that arrogance! Striding about as if he owns the place—everyone knows the North was lost!

They say Rangers know things no Man should know—that they’re not like the rest of us…

He protects them—has always protected them—but they mistrust him, and watch him with wary eyes.

He stifles a snort.

These are his people.



K for Killer, Firefly, Jayne/River, G
for lullabyes22

She liked him.

She smiled when he returned home from a job, safe and sound and not a scratch on him.

She liked him not.

He entered the room, she just looked at him, opened her mouth—and screamed.

She liked him.

‘I made it for you,’ she said, spooning an extra helping of stew into his bowl.

She liked him not.

‘I can still kill you with my brain.’

Everytime it seemed he’d finally gotten a handle on her, she went and changed all the rules on him.

‘You’re killin’ me, little moonbrain,’ he sighs, and she just giggles.



U for Unreasonable, Kyou Kara Maou, Stoffel and Dan Hiri, G
for mobiuswolf

Sometimes he just couldn’t understand her.

What could she possibly see in this…this…human?

Clearly, the man was an idiot.

Why, he just did not seem to notice that he, Stofell von Spitzweg—only male relative of Cecile von Spitzweg, and therefore the one whose consent was needed by any and all suitors—did not approve of this match.

Since the man was slow, he needed to be obvious. Stoffel glared at him, publicly snubbed him—and yet Dan Hiri simply continued to smile at Celi like a besotted fool.

Leave it to Cecile to have chosen someone so unreasonable, really.



O for Obtuse, Hellsing, Alucard/Integra, G
for litele_one

A man would have to be blind—or very, very stupid—to miss the signs.

Like that particular tone in the vampire’s voice when he said the word ‘Master…’

Or the way the Boss Lady played with those cigars whenever the vampire was near—which was a phallic symbol if ever he saw one…

Yes, one would have to be very stupid to miss all that.

And whatever else he may be, Pip Bernadotte was definitely not stupid.

Now if only he could get the Police Girl to be less obtuse and notice this thing between the two of them…



U for Unreasonable, The Lord of the Rings, Aragorn and kids, G
for just_ann_now

‘Tell us another one, Adar!’

‘Yes, another one, please, Adar, another one!’

Aragorn smiled down at the two little girls tugging on his hands as they bounced up and down excitedly.

‘Oh, Your Majesty, forgive me!’ He turned to see that the children’s nurse had bustled in, and was trying to chivvy them to bed.

‘No, I want another story!’

‘Princess, please, be reasonable—’

‘I don’t mind,’ he said, smiling as he bid the woman to leave. After all, soon enough his children would grow up and leave all this behind.

Let them be unreasonable a little while longer.



I for Imperious, Hellsing, Alucard/Integra, PG
for lullabyes22

From the very beginning, she had known how to make him obey.

It was not just the seals, though.

It was the look in her eye when she called to him, the utter lack of doubt that he would not do exactly as she commanded.

And though he acknowledged that Abraham’s line was worthy, Integra Hellsing’s complacent attitude demanded a reaction.

So he challenged her. Taunted and teased her and made her more – the Countess to his Count.

And even now, even now—she is imperious. Pinning him with fiery blue eyes, she breathes: ‘Faster, Alucard.’

As always, he obeys.



Y for Yuletide,Fullmetal Alchemist, Roy/Riza, G
for teef_chan

For so long they had held themselves back, hiding even an inkling of anything more.

He had never let himself think of her as anything but a trusted subordinate—she had never thought of him as a man; he had simply been the future of their country.

Now, though, he can see the play of the light on her hair and wonder how he had blinded himself to her beauty for so long.

Now, she can see that his smile begins in his eyes, because now she walks beside him instead of behind him.

Now, it is finally their season.

[Seeing that this universe would not have the same religions as ours, I’ve used the custom of Yule being the celebration of the turning of the seasons, rather than Christmas.]
