Seventeen flashfics (Multifandom)

ITT: Super Junior, Durarara!!, Howl's Moving Castle, Ookiku Furikabutte, Harry Potter, Escaflowne, The Hunger Games, & Pokémon

More minifics from a whole bunch of places. Some are drabbles, some are sentence fics. It's like a box of chocolates!...except nowhere as delicious.

Super Junior

Midterms | G | 100 | Zhou Mi/Kyuhyun | med school AU, romance, fluff | for [livejournal.com profile] fonulyn | prompt
This is...sort of ooc & nonsensical. If you have no idea what this drabble is about, go read this.

"Are you muttering the periodic table under your breath?" Zhou Mi asks, incredulous. Kyuhyun's head jerks up, mouth stilling around —trogen. "Do you have a test or something? Doesn't the teacher give you a periodic—"

"I just like it," Kyuhyun says. "It helps me focus."

"Focus on what?"

Kyuhyun opens his textbook to the place where his finger has bookmarked. "Nervous system?" Zhou Mi asks.

"Neurotransmitters," Kyuhyun says.

"That's easy," Zhou Mi says. "Start with dopamine." He curls a hand around Kyuhyun's wrist. "Seratonin, then oxytocin."

"Are you seriously hitting on me via neurotransmitters," Kyuhyun says.

Zhou Mi just grins.


四季 (Four Seasons) | G | 100 | Zhou Mi | character study, fluff | for Zhou Mi's birthday

Zhou Mi is ice cream in May, shivering because it's too cold, but it's so sweet and you laugh with everyone else at your own clumsiness as you lick your fingers clean.

Zhou Mi is a city sidewalk, breathing in the smell of waffle cones and the summer heat.

Zhou Mi is a candle during an autumn thunderstorm when all the power's out, when it's you alone with the darkness, but the candle shines so brightly all the same.

Zhou Mi is the winter sun—too bright sometimes, sometimes drowned by clouds and snow, but always there, always, always there.


Country/City | G | 148 | Kyuhyun/Zhou Mi | AU, romance, fluff | for [livejournal.com profile] hitamyu
The prompt was my first sentence and I had five sentences to finish the story.

It was raining in Tokyo. It collected in the gutters, smoothed out the potholes, diluted the dirt into a paste that clung to hemlines and upturned umbrellas. There was no rejuvenation, no freshness—instead of dewy newness there was only a recycling of those things that made Tokyo anything but familiar.

This is what Kyuhyun thought, at least, until a tall man appeared with laughing eyes and umbrella and paid for his ticket to get on the last train out of the city, and after a three hour train ride to their mutual home prefecture, who wouldn't be friends?

Friends who promise to meet again when they both return to Tokyo, friends who after several months perhaps turn into something more.

Kyuhyun has always been fond of rainy country mornings, but it takes Zhou Mi's sunshine smile to turn the rain-drenched city into something that feels like home.



Durarara!!

Objective | G | 75 | Mikado | character study | for [livejournal.com profile] lioru | prompt: "Mikado finds himself daydreaming during class."

It's hard to pay attention in class these days, because the room is so warm and small and the world is so large; he's tired of this calm, everyday existence—he wants to see everything life has to offer—and so he does what he can: he roams the internet, discovering the world one pixelated image at a time, talking to strangers as if they're old friends, and waits for the future to find him.



Three's A | G | 100 | Mikado/Anri/Masaomi OT3 | romance, fluff | for [livejournal.com profile] patcchi

Masaomi tries to take Anri out for tea, and Mikado comes along.

Mikado tries to escort Anri on a walk under the cherry blossoms, and Masaomi comes along.

Anri goes to restock on school supplies, and invites both of them.

"I give up," Masaomi groans. It's just him and Mikado taking the last train home. "You can have her."

"I—We can't do that," Mikado stammers. "It's her decision."

Masaomi casts a long glance at Mikado's pink cheeks. Grins. "Hey," he says, "Let's go grab lunch tomorrow. Just us."

But someone (they can't decide or remember who) invites Anri anyway.



Howl's Moving Castle

Expectations | G | 100 | Howl/Sophie | romance, character study | for [livejournal.com profile] baka_tenshi | prompt: "Perfect flaws"

Sophie still feels her brush with old age as a chill against her young bones, when she moves more lightly than she expects, when she guards against falls that never happen.

She reaches for a cane that she doesn't need and finds Howl's hand instead. He draws her, one tentative step at a time, into the kitchen, where he sets her down and kneels in front of her. His eyes (like hers) are too old for his young face.

"You'll get used to it," he says. Sophie nods, and he reaches out to run a hand down her too-light hair.



Ookiku Furikabutte

Assist | G | 100 | Abe/Mihashi | romance, character study | for [livejournal.com profile] ibuberu | prompt: "After practice when everyone's gone home"

Mihashi breathes hard, peeling his sweat-soaked shirt from his body. The sun is golden on his skin as he sits down and looks at the sky through the locker room window.

But Abe doesn't notice any of that. Instead, he sees the tension in Mihashi's shoulders and the way his ribs stand out though his skin. He presses a cup of water into Mihashi's hands and says, "Be sure to eat well. You need to be strong for the next game. And don't over-practice."

When Mihashi looks up and gives him a wavery smile, Abe can't help but notice it.



Harry Potter

Preoccupied | G | 40 | Hermione/Krum | romance, character study | for [livejournal.com profile] mildmilotic | prompt: "Something from when hermione and krum are exchanging letters"

Hermione spends her summer reading books, taking walks, eating dinner with her family, sleeping over at her friends' houses, and swimming in the nearby pond; she most certainly does not spend her time watching her mailbox from her bedroom window.



Escaflowne

Fragile | G | 41 | Dilandau(/Folken) | character study, romance? | for [livejournal.com profile] findthesunrise

Dilandau's needs are simple—he just wants to follow Folken to the ends of the earth, he just wants to be noticed, he just wants to be loved—so why is this so hard?

(It's enough to drive a person crazy.)



The Hunger Games

Best Laid Plans | G | 100 | Foxface | character study | for [livejournal.com profile] findthesunrise

On the list of girls who qualify for district representative, Foxface is third. She licks her lips and casts a glance at the girls who are crowded in next to her, all of whom pointedly ignore her. Like her, they only have eyes for the list.

Her eyes flicker over to the column of boys' names. The first place ranking makes her eyes widen briefly. They've worked together often, always by accident; stealing apples, dodging the police.

He would make a good partner, she thinks. She breathes in deep and slinks home, mind racing.

She doesn't stay third for long.



Pokémon
These are all fics where I was given the first line and I had to give the next five sentences.

Bedtime | G | 111 | Green + Leaf | slice-of-life, humor, character study | for [livejournal.com profile] insanepurin

Celebrated people commonly have many ill things said of them, whether well-founded or not. Lance, for example, was constantly mocked for his love of designer capes; Morty was criticized for his gym's lack of indoor lighting; and parents often wrote Falkner angry letters regarding his gym's terrifyingly fast elevator.

But Green, of course, was above such petty and misguided attacks. Green's gym was perfect and everyone knew it. People came from far and wide to worship his amazing battle technique and coo over his lovely Eevee. In fact—

"I am never letting you tell my children bedtime stories again," Leaf interrupted.



Gaia | G | 122 | Steven | character study | for [livejournal.com profile] megageek

Thunder crashed in the distance, and he was afraid.

He was soaked in minutes, shivering and cringing at every growl, every flash of light. Lightning strikes the tallest thing in the vicinity, he thought, which is—me, he realized with a start, and the next peal of thunder snapped his last thread of courage. He bolted through the tall grass and dived into the first hiding place he saw—a small cave—and curled into a ball, shivering.

After a while, the storm was forgotten in the hidden treasures of the cave, the fire stones and water stones he brought home in mud-streaked hands the next morning. It's that, Steven thinks now, that started his association between caves and safety, underground and home.



House Hunting | G | 89 | Green/Red | humor, romance, character study | for [livejournal.com profile] ledgem

That was the last time he took advice from his best friend. Pikachu looked up at him and gave a meaningful shiver; Red surveyed the snowy cave with a distinctly nonplussed eye, Green's laughter sounding clearly through the PokéGear pressed to his ear.

"I'm telling you, man," Green gasped once he could speak again, "you're not gonna find a better deal than the one I'm offering you: cheap rent, the perfect roomate—"

"I like it."

Green's laughter abruptly stopped.

"Thanks for the tip," he said, and hung up.



Whirlwind Romance | G | 117 | Ethan+Silver(/Lyra) | humor, romance, character study, fluff | for [livejournal.com profile] ledgem
This one breaks the rules ._.

That was the last time he took love advice from his best friend.

"I'm going to need therapy after this," Silver hissed, "Expensive, protracted therapy, which you are going to pay for."

"Speed dating isn't that bad," Ethan laughed; "maybe you'll get lucky!"

"A Tauros stampede would be 'getting lu—" then the bell rang and Ethan left him to his fate.

Silver closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and turned to see Lyra sliding into the seat across from him.

He stared at her for a moment. "This," he finally managed, "was a setup."

Ethan flashed him a thumbs-up from two tables over.

Silver changed his mind. A Tauros stampede was too good for these people.



Smooth | PG-13 | 76 | Green+Leaf+Red | humor, friendship, slice-of-life | for [livejournal.com profile] fugthimble

"'I'll treat you like my homework—slam you on the bed and do you all night long.'"

Leaf bursts out laughing. Green leans back, pleased with himself, as Red looks away, trying to pretend he doesn't know the people he's sitting with (and Leaf takes the opportunity to steal another french fry).

"So did it work?" Leaf asks.

"Are you kid—No." Green smirks; "but buy me another milkshake and I'll tell you what did."



Future Kings | G | 39 | Agatha+Oak | friendship, character study | for [livejournal.com profile] akumugan

Delusions of world domination.

"I do not," Agatha scoffed. "I just want to be the champion. In fact," she cracked one eye open, "So do you, last I checked."

Samuel chuckled. "Two of us against the world," he said.



Time | G | 76 | Suicune + Krystal(/Eusine) | character study, angst | for [livejournal.com profile] hikarmine

Kris sat quietly next to Suicune, her mind resting on each particle of sand among the shells of Cianwood.

Eusine was late.

Kris reached up to rest a hand on Suicune's shoulder; he lifted his head and scented the air. Her hand moved in small circles that were probably more soothing to her than to him.

Eusine was never late.

Suicune let out a soft whine, and the ocean before them was suddenly dotted with rain.

I loved the DRRR bits. The one for Mikado I think covers his character motivations succinctly and wonderfully, and the "Three's A" was just so adorable I don't even know how to cover my thoughts on it other than one big long squee.
