I'm stealing this from [livejournal.com profile] velvetmouse because I would like some little scraps of writing I can do!

So here's how we're going to play this: I write out the alphabet below. You give me a word for an unclaimed letter, a fandom and characters. I write either a single (100 words) or a double (200 words) drabble. Rejoicing happens.

As for fandoms, I'm willing to push myself a bit so feel free to ask for things that aren't on the list and if I don't know them at all, I'll let you know :3 feel free to ask for OCs and world building stuff, because I love that shit and its a fun challenge to do it with drabbles.

(For the moment I'm working in Gdocs and using their word count...)

-Pretty much any game I have been in ever
-Anything based on my original writing or ongoing/abandoned/neglected serials
-Star Trek - I can can probably do most series other than Voyager or Enterprise
-Inception
-Georgette Heyer - The Masqueraders, Venetia, The Foundling, False Colours
-A Song of Ice and Fire - mostly books, I never finished watching the show, for Reasons -_-
-Merlin
-Sherlock (haven't finished the second series yet)
-Spartacus
-Firefly
-Transformers (G1, IDW comics, Beast Wars or Animated... or game related, see above)
-Oglaf
-hell I dunno, try me, I can't list everything @_@

I'll be getting the DVD set one way or another, so next time we are in the same geographic location we can watch it, if you like.

"You." Athena frowned. Frustrated, she tightened her grip on her Aegis.

Ares barred his teeth in a savage smile. His breath smelled of blood. "You could have favoured the other side."

"Even you are not such a fool to believe that, after the blasphemies committed by their commander."

"And yet still you pity them. How weak."

"I see the stuff of heroes in some of their numbers."

"And you'll still see them dead."

She weighed the honours the young general had given her against the prayers of his adversaries. "I will have victory, not slaughter."

"You will have both, sister."

When it came to fucking, Tzesira thought she'd figured out a good balance between dealing with her friend's difficult past and having a good time. But tonight things were getting a little awkward again and she wasn't really sure what she could do without making Kay either sad or pissed off.

The thing was, tonight they'd gotten a little drunk before winding up back at the barracks. They'd had their fun... And then Kallista had curled up around her and promptly fallen asleep. Patience wearing, she tried again to untangle the Tiefling's tail from her legs without waking her up.

Arthur didn't know what Ariadne had seen, but it was clear that it still haunted her. When the rest of the team dispersed, it had been harder for him to let her go. She seemed to return his affection, but it took a while to get close enough to recognize her lingering troubles.

"I can't trust my dreams," she'd finally confessed. "Because of Limbo. I can't trust my totem. I'm afraid of getting trapped. Like Mal. Like Dom."

"Let me build you somewhere safe," he offered, thinking of clean modern lines. But she shook her head.

"That's how it starts."

Batiatus was entertaining, and had ordered him cleaned and sent up to the villa with a number of other gladiators. The guests would be from the cream of Roman society and with only the most refined tastes for depravities.

He adjusted the wrap of his loincloth, repressing a scowl at the thought of all he was enduring for his revenge. Doctore called out to hasten the other stragglers, his face a mask.

"Tell me, Doctore," he asked, hinting a smile, "Do you think I could do your job? Someday I might like to wear pants again."

The big man laughed.

Beryl caught her friend’s roaming hand and gave it a squeeze as she leaned back against the taller woman. “Oh Alia…. Once again you are waaay drunker than me.”

“I know!” She leaned in closer, whispering loudly into the dwarf’s ear so she could be heard over Brenn and Vedran’s inebriated recital of Nerathi drinking songs. “You have more wine an’ we’ll be in for some fun, hmmm?”

She sighed. “I told you – that’s all over now.”

Unexpectedly, Alia embraced her in a tight hug. “Just don’t you leave me behind, Beryl!”

Beryl hugged her back. “Don’t worry, I won’t.”

(lemme try again from the right journal :3 ETA: and when i don't spell the main character's name wrong in a fit of irony -_-)

Arya was having another wolf dream, her pack circling in on a small party of armed men. Wet weather dampened their fire and it shed little light or warmth.

They might have passed them by – the men were armed – but some instinct made her single one out. He took his sword when he went to relieve himself, but was no match for a direwolf.

Arya tossed in her sleep as Nymeria tore Raff to pieces, her human mind calling out for him to die.

She woke with the word on her lips and the taste of blood in her mouth.

Huzzah! If Arya's wolf dreams don't result in something like this, I will be rather disappointed in GRRM. :)

Kaylee bit her lip, looking up into her captain's disgruntled face.

Thing was, no matter what she said, he was bound not to want to hear it. But it all would have all worked out okay if just they'd had better parts on Triumph, or if that last fix had held out 'til they hit Silverhold.

"Kaylee," Mal scowled, "Why'd you have to go and break my ship?"

"She ain't broke, Capn'!" She smiled hopefully. "She jus' needs a little love to see her through."

"Love?" He didn't sound particularly convinced, or impressed.

"Okay, and maybe a new resistor array…"
