This is death.

Internet, I want to write drabbles.* I just don't know what I want to write them about.

Um. Prompt me?

Fandoms I've written for, in alphabetical order;

Aladdin (1992)
Azumanga Daioh
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Dark Crystal (1982)
Fruits Basket (I just finished volume 10 of the manga)
Halloween (1978)
Princess and the Frog (2009)
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Ranma 1/2
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Shikabane Hime
Spirited Away
Twin Peaks

Stump the Author is welcome. It is so welcome that you don't even have to stick to the list. (NB: Whenever someone says: "I saw the most violent, disgusting horror move ever and thought of you!" and I am ready to defend myself as having standards, it turns out that not only have i seen the movie in question, it was probably my favorite movie of the year). The ultimate Stump the Author is porn. You may prompt it, if you don't mind terrible porn. But at least it will be over soon.


*By which I mean "things that are exactly 100 words long, except that different word counters give me different word counts, because they are bastards."

Open (G, Azula/Toph 200+ words)

[terajk]

She eyes Mother's White Lotus and thinks, makes her play.

"The Dragon? Are you sure?" But Azula sees the hunger in Mother's eyes even as she tries to hide it, hears Toph's you-have-done-something-clever laughter in her head.

"What would you think if I were an admiral's daughter-in-law?" Azula asks three turns later, when Mother plays a rose.

"I think you can be what you like. I also think you're trying to distract me." She doesn't sound unhappy, but as with everything about Mother, it's hard to tell. (Azula still looks for the wrinkles and streaks of gray in her hair sometimes, to be sure). Still, the White Lotus edges closer.

Four turns later, Azula moves her Jasmine for something to do. "And what if my wife were a loudmouth peasant?"

"Really, Azula." Mother's rose takes her jasmine. "The Bei Fongs are one of the wealthiest families in the Earth Kingdom."

Azula hasn't expected this. She suddenly feels like she did when Toph showed her how to control people with weakness...or kindness, or whatever it is: open and helpless, assaulted by all the things she has years of practice keeping out. But still, still, the White Lotus creeps.

And then. Then.

"What would you think if my wife did this?" Azula crushes the White Lotus with her rock.

"My dear," says Mother, "I think that would be marvelous." She sounds happy, Azula thinks.

Oh yes, that's just what I imagined. *love*

I'm glad! I've never written Ursa before--it was nice to be nudged in that direction. Although I ended up futzing with these Pai Sho rules rather a lot.

Ursa would probably try to "fix" Azula's mental illness at first--but Azula has no patience for sane people's Feelings about her disability. (And she lives with Zuko--gosh, I am mean). Also, in my head, she and Toph are the ones who find/rescue Ursa--either as something they set out to do (to get Zuko to shut up, maybe) or accidentally when they're on some other adventure.

I would read that fic.

I would read it a whole lot.

Re: Warning: contains babbling

Oh, dear. I should probably write it then :D

Should I also admit that she then goes on adventures with them? Which may lead to problems like: "How am I going to make out with my girlfriend if ZUKO'S MOTHER is here?"

Re: Warning: contains babbling

[lizbee]

"Zuko's mother, who is also my girlfriend's mother, and this could only get more awkward if my mom turned up as well. Or Katara."

In short, you should totally write that.

I'm almost 3000 words into the Getting Together Story. It's at the stage of, "Sleeping with Zuko's sister is the worst idea I've ever had. She probably kills and eats you after sex. Much better to fight with her."
