Elaby's LiveJournal - 57 Academics

Two drabbles from the drabble meme! More will be coming when I figure out what to write for them ^^;;

Sherlock Holmes drabble for fiery_lioness. This takes place after The Speckled Band.
( My friend kept very unusual hours. )

Flynn and Kishi for coastal_spirit. This takes place the morning after the infamous "sex on the desk" scene you like so much XD
( The morning after )

More lists from the Five Things meme!

For glr1114 - ( Five things that Anthy would /never/ tell anyone except Utena. )

( Five times that Sanosuke wished that he had kept his big mouth shut. )

For caitirin - ( Five times Simon has turned down romantic overtures (and who they were being made by) )

( Five things Gideon actually likes about his Goth Phase. )

For minyan - ( Five reasons Marion told Robin he should let her stay in Sherwood )

Another piece for the First Kiss Meme. This one's for templarwolf (posted today in honor of Enoch) using his awesome characters Kakita Goemon and Doji Hiroe. I really hope I wrote them well and didn't do anything that goes against canon. I definitely enjoyed writing this one.

It was the week of the Spirit Festival, and one of the artisans had made Hiroe a pinwheel from a piece of bamboo and some stiff paper. The paper was off-white, not painted or bleached, but its own original color. Goemon saw her with it when he was walking with his family down to their ancestral household to pay respects at the large family shrine. Hiroe’s family was doing the same, though theirs was on the other side of town, and Goemon summoned enough courage to smile at her as they passed. She smiled back as easily as breathing, and he felt a little giddy.

Another of the First Kiss challenge drabble-type things. This one is for jiatra :) Er, it's not so fantastic... sorry, Jia :\ The Utena/Ophelia one will be better. I've got a draft of that one already.

Elizabeth Swann and Captain Kirk
Words: 570
Notes: As I haven't seen the new PotC movie yet, there are no spoilers for that. Or for anything, really, except maybe this takes place sometime during the beginning-middlish of Dead Man's Chest. *shrugs* At any rate, there's no attempt to stick to the timeline, and only a very small attempt at explaining what Kirk is doing in 18th century Port Royal.

Elizabeth wasn’t sure how the man got there, but he was wearing the strangest clothes she had ever seen: there was practically nothing to them, just plain, stretched cloth trousers and a shirt with a tiny insignia on the breast. The sleeves were decorated with a gold band or two, but other than that, his outfit was strangely devoid of ornamentation. He had called himself “Captain” when he introduced himself, but he wore neither a hat nor a frock coat nor any sort of pins or epaulettes to signify his rank. He also talked funny.

Yes, I'm a great big dork. I wrote fanfic for The Moonstone.

Title: Sympathy
Fandom: The Moonstone
Pairings: Ezra Jennings/Franklin Blake unrequited
Rating: G
Summary: Franklin Blake POV. Taking place after the first few days of Franklin's second tobacco withdrawal (towards the end of the book), Ezra Jennings checks on Franklin's condition and finds him predictably morose.
Notes: Spoilers for events near the end of the book are mentioned.

Over at rarelitslash

Wheeeeeee n_n

[Edit in June, 07: I'm going to post the fic here too, in case rarelitslash ever explodes or something.]

( I [heart] Victorian wibbly men. )

I am definitely the only one out of four non-specialist type people who is here today O_o Dee and Sharon are on vacation, and Mary is probably sick again, seeing as she's not here yet and she's usually here before me.

Nobody better call with any questions I don't know!

It's raining and I have my previous Nano's characters on the brain, specifically Owen and Jolan.

I swear there was a challenge somewhere once, in a drabble community, that was "On the Edge", but I haven't gone to look yet. Which has nothing to do with Owen and Jolan, but that's okay.

Most of the lights are off here, too, so it's just really weird.

Can't find "On the Edge" as a drabble challenge, but... I haven't looked very hard. Maybe I'll just write it and pretend I didn't imagine the challenge.


Fandom: Amber
Characters: Julian
Challenge: On the Edge, whether that challenge existed anywhere or not.
Words: 100
Notes: Context - Corwin shows up in Julian's forest after 400 or so earth years of MIA-ness. Julian's dogs try to eat Corwin's car, and Corwin eventually takes Julian sort-of hostage. After getting information out of him, Corwin sends him to the edge of a cliff, tells him to look down, and to remember that anyone else would have made him jump.


Did Corwin wonder why Julian wasn’t surprised to see him, after that long?

He had expected Corwin to ask him that, after being grilled on the situation of things back home. Of course, Julian had also expected to have the answers tortured out of him.

He hated being surprised.

Why? Why? He stood with his feet as far from the edge of the cliff as he thought Corwin would allow, looking down into the faraway depths, winds from below lifting and twisting his hair.

The Corwin he knew, loathed, would have killed him. He hated not understanding what had changed.


SO dead in here today. Head aches. *furbles about wanting to write and not work*
