I've finished the drabbles that I owe people. Yay!

For amethyst_hunter:

Title: Holiday Cheer
Fandom: Get Backers
Characters: Himiko and Akabane
Words: 150 (Drabble and a half)
A/N: A little late for Christmas, but oh well. I've never written Akabane before. He's a challenge.

( Holiday Cheer )


For kurenai_tenka:

Title: Model
Fandom: Yami no Matsuei
Characters: It's a surprise.
Words: 150 (Drabble and a half)

For 000_hester_000:

Title: Mysterium
Fandom: Count Cain/Godchild
Character: White Owl
Words: 200 (Double drabble)
A/N: The title refers to an unfinished musical work by Alexander Scriabin. When describing it, he said that "There will not be a single spectator. All will be participants." Also, he intended it to cause Armageddon. (No, really.)

And finally, for tekararogue:

Title: Another Fine Mess You've Gotten Us Into
Fandom: Um, the Dungeons and Dragons campaign that tekararogue DMs.
Characters: Aster and Ivan
Words: 150 (Drabble and a half)
A/N: In case you care (which you probably don't), relevant information is this: ( cut to spare you if you choose )

That is scarily appropriate if you know the fandom.

The real point of this post is to post a drabble that that was forgotten about in the last round up. I am trying to consolidate my fic, but it's not going very well, is it?

Title: Not in Front of the Children
Fandom: Yami no Matsuei
Author's Notes: I was playing with a random word generator, and got the word "expletive." Somehow, this came about. My brain is diseased.

( Not in Front of the Children )

Okay, I think that these are all the drabbles I have lying around, minus the Utena tarot ones, which will be posted separately.

Prompt: #231: No happily ever after

So, I realized that I never got around to reposting last year's Yuletide fics. Considering that this one is Christmas themed, now seems a good time.

Title: A Very Hargreaves Christmas
Fandom: Count Cain/Godchild
Characters/Pairing: Cain, Riff, Merryweather, Neil, Oscar; hints of Cain/Riff
Rating: PG
Summary: Welcome to Christmas at the Hargreaves mansion: presents, a tree, a turkey dinner, and... possible poisoned eggnog?

( 'I wonder what's in here.' )

Title: Terminator: The Cain Hargreaves Chronicles

Summary: The first meeting between Cain Hargreaves, future savior of humanity, and the RIFF-1000
A/N: This is for diluted_thought. She knows why.

( In which Riff is a killer robot from the future... so, yeah )

My commentary on Count Cain continues. As usual, there will be spoilers for the entire series, up to the end of Godchild. All quotes are from the Viz version unless otherwise noted. I apologize for any typos. I can never manage to catch them all.

Volume One
Volume Two (part one)
Volume Two (part two)
Volume Three
Volume Four

( The Seal of the Red Ram, Part Two )

Volume one of Godchild coming... someday.

Title: One For Sorrow, Two for Joy

Pairing/Characters: Cain/Riff, Merryweather, Jezebel, Crehador
Rating: PG-13
Length: 1637
Spoilers: Up until the end of Godchild.

Title: My Own Hands Imprison Me
Fandom: Count Cain/Godchild
Characters: Jezebel and Cassian
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 565
Summary: Cassian wants to save Jezebel. Jezebel has opinions on that.
A/N: Written for comment_fic, for the prompt "The power of love and friendship and rainbows and shit isn’t going to change this. It's not a fucking band-aid and 'learning how to love' won't make me any different" Sort of a message to fandom fic, as someone who's really tired of people portraying Jezebel like a poor little innocent woobie, and forgetting that he's a serial killer with a penchant for emotional torture and a tendency to blame innocent people for his problems.

( Cassian wasn't surprised when he heard the crash... )

Title: Sin Goes in Disguise
Fandom: Count Cain/Godchild
Pairing: Cain/Riff
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Graphic sex, a lot of plot for what was supposed to just be crossdressing porn.

A/N: Written for the kink_bingo prompt, "crossdressing (outerwear)." Many thanks to my betas, dancing_serpent, kurenai_tenka, and alder_knight

( Riff wondered how many social events were held across the English countryside during early summer... )

I am, of course, referring to trying to round up all of my drabbles and ficlets that have been posted to various communities, but not to my journal.

Interestingly enough, everything's been either Count Cain or Merlin.

I have so much fic floating around that needs to be posted to my journal.

Title: Fractured
Fandom: Count Cain/Godchild

Rating: PG-13
Summary: Michaela knew her life was a fairytale. However, she forgot that fairy tales aren't always nice.

02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?

Title: Illumination
Fandom: Count Cain/Godchild

( Riff is reading by candlelight when he hears footsteps in the darkness... )

A/N: Merlin has sucked in so many writers; who am I to resist the siren call? Drabble and a half.

( Arthur was in a horrible mood, and for once, Merlin couldn't blame him... )

I should probably post my Yuletide reveal, huh?

This time, I wrote two stories. The Benefits of Alcohol as a Social Lubricant (Trigun) and A Very Hargreaves Christmas (Count Cain/Godchild)

Musings on the writing process (such as it was):

( Trigun story )

( Count Cain/Godchild story )

Ravenbell, since you were so great about betaing for me even though you had your own work to do, you can request a drabble, if you'd like. I am at your command.

More of my commentary on the Count Cain/Godchild manga. This time we'll be looking at volume four: The Seal of the Red Ram, Part One.

As usual, there will be spoilers for the entire series. All quotes are from the Viz version unless otherwise noted.

( The Seal of the Red Ram, Part One )

Title: Of History
Series: Count Cain/Godchild
Character/Pairing: Cain, Riff
Rating: PG-13
A/N: This was written for the 31_days prompt "December 9: generations of poison, centuries of poison"

( Cornwall Castle was full of the past... )

Title: Ghost, God, Man
Fandom: Count Cain/Godchild
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Incest
Word count: 743
Summary: Jezebel is just foolish enough to lie to himself, and just wise enough to know that he's lying.
A/N: Written for the Spring Kink prompt: "Alexis/Jizabel: punisher/nurturer games - He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you been a good boy / He'll rekindle all those dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy." Despite copious use of song lyrics in my header and lj cut, this is not in fact a song fic. Contains spoilers for Mark of the Red Ram.

( You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan... )

And I continue my commentary on the Count Cain/Godchild manga. This time it's The Cain Saga volume three: Kafka.

As usual, there will be spoiler for the entire series. All quotes are from the Viz version unless otherwise noted.

( Volume Three: Kafka )

Ok, here we go with the remaining stories in Count Cain volume two. (Once again, lots and lots of spoilers for the whole series.)

( The Sound of a Boy Hatching )

As you may or may not recall, I'm doing a volume by volume commentary on the Count Cain series. Today, we'll be looking at volume two of what Viz calls the "Cain Saga."

I'll be doing a something a little different this time. I've unearthed my Sakura Crisis scanlations, and I'll be comparing them with the Viz release. Unless noted, however, quotes will be from the Viz edition.

Warning: There will be spoilers for the entire series in these commentaries. Massive ones.

Man, I was originally going to do the whole volume, but this has gotten long ,and it's getting late, so this is just the first two chapters.

( Volume Two: The Sound of a Boy Hatching )

How about some fandom stuff? (If you don't care about politics or fandom... well then boy howdy, I don't what to tell you.)

I've been meaning to a big Count Cain/Godchild post, but I haven't gotten around to it. Well, instead of doing one big post, I'm going to go through the volumes one by one and note my reaction and thoughts.

It's probably kind of a wasted effort, seeing as how I think one person on my flist knows this manga, but hey, at least you might enjoy it, kurenai_tenka.

Oh, though I'll be doing the volumes one by one, there will be spoilers for the entire series. Seriously, I give away one of the biggest spoilers when talking about the second chapter of the first volume.

( Volume One: Forgotten Juliet )

My dream a few nights ago featured Cain Hargreaves, Lina Inverse, and the Ninth Doctor flying around in the TARDIS, having crazy adventures. It was awesome. I really wish I hadn't woken up when I did, because they were in the middle of something really cool
