The Corner of Insanity

They're doing crossovers at ffviii_100 this week, and I've managed a couple...

Title: Bonds
Rating: G
Crossover: Final Fantasy VII

Title: White Wolf
Rating: G
Crossover: Okami

( What I've been up to )

Title: Mother's Blood
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: some horrific imagery
Word count: 100

It's a bit rough in a couple of spots, but I basically wrote it in the five free minutes I had at work yesterday.

Title: Copperhead Road
Rating: R
Warnings: language
Word count: 929
Prompt: 26. small town, Devil May Cry
A/N: Lyrics for “Copperhead Road” by Steve Earl are copyright 1988, no infringement is implied or intended. Lyrics are not included in the word count.

That actually wasn't what I had intended to write originally... I was going to do Dante in an orphanage in the middle of nowhere, with Lady as a social worker and Trish as the orphanage head, but I never could get going with it. Then yesterday that song comes up on my random, and I got bit HARD. Enjoy!

Title: High Winds
Rating: G
Word count: 239
Prompt: 008 - Airships

One down, 99 to go. ;-)

Admittedly, not very good, but I need to write SOMETHING every day.

1) New icon by indigo. MWAH! Love it!

2) Got my bonus. More than I expected, so I plan to pay off a long-standing hospital bill I've been slowly chipping away at for years. That'll free up $100 a month to put towards other bills and maybe even savings.

3) Finished watching Elemental Gelade this morning. I was quite pleased with how it turned out, after being a bit "eh" about it after the second disk. I gave it 4 stars on NetFlix (the ending is a bit too perfect for my tastes), but I would recommend it. Next up is Hellsing.

4) Almost done with the first season of Babylon 5. Much like the first season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, it's fairly hit and miss, but there are a lot of characters I like so I'm planning on sticking with it.

5) Been playing Titan Quest: Immortal Throne. Love it muchly. If you love Diablo, you'll love this.

6) Not writing. Need to remedy this, pronto.

Title: New Targets
Rating: PG
Warnings: innuendo
Word count: 315
Prompt: Suikoden V, Oboro/Shigure: teacher/student - weapons training
A/N: Takes place pre-game

The first time I played Suikoden V, I didn't get Oboro and crew, so I didn't really get the relationships there. The second time, I had a walkthrough from the start so I could get al 108 stars, and I fell in love with Shigure and Sagiri.

The one from yesterday is not written yet... PT hurts, a lot, and I'm finding it hard to concentrate with the pain.

- I have one to write (22nd) and one to post (23rd) for areyougame (FF VII/IX crossover)
- Need to pick a prompt for the next roads_diverged and just write the damn thing instead of just thinking about writing it (DMC)
- Start on the Pride prompt for thesevensins (FF X)
- Tangent to writing, but still important to my writing process: put together Maria's soundtrack and start listening to it (DMC)

That should get me to the end of February

Title: God of Beauty and Death
Rating: G
Word count: 100
Prompt: Final Fantasy VII, Sephiroth/Cloud: immobilization - "You wear death beautifully"

Picked this one up after looking at some prompts and getting smacked with the visual.

Title: Mistakes
Rating: G
Word count: 466
Prompt: Final Fantasy X: Anima: The power she sought to give her son wasn't enough for him.

The relationship between Seymour and his mother is something that I wish they had explained a little bit more in canon. This attempts to fill in a couple of gaps.

Title: (untitled)
Rating: G
Word count: 209
Prompt: Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, Angeal/Sephiroth/Genesis: autographs and action figures – When the children came up for autographs, it was really no surprise, but who authorized the action figures??

My first time writing Genesis, and all I had to do was think back to my wrestling fandom days... ;-)

Title: (untitled)
Rating: PG
Warnings: Is Kefka a warning?
Word count: 190
Prompt: Crossover: Final Fantasy VI/Final Fantasy VII, Kefka/Sephiroth: Jealousy - Hate hate hate hatehatehate
A/N: Thank you, Dissidia, for giving us crossover crack fiends a new playground. ;-)

And that's as much time as I want to spend in Kefka's head for the next YEAR, thank you very much O_0

I started on this one yesterday and sorta fizzled out, then got inspired again when I opened the file.

Title: After the Engagement Party
Rating: G
Warnings: Suikoden V spoilers
Word count: 664
Prompt: Prince and Sora: It was a dark and stormy night--
A/N: According to Wikipedia, the prince's name in Suikdoden V is Freyjadour. I'm using the shorter Frey here most of the time.

So, Dolph = Nobody, y/n?

For the next couple of days, we can play catch-up on some prompts that didn't get done when they were originally due, so...

Title: (untitled)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: language
Word count: 363
Prompt: Cat and Dante, first impressions
A/N: I know this one feels like you've been dropped in the middle of a scene, but it works, so... ;-)

Hopefully I can get one or two more done, to advance Fran's story a bit.

Title: Broken Over Time
Rating: G
Word count: 100
Prompt: Toys
A/N: A thought on Edea going home again.

Might be the last one for this round, we'll see... I've got ideas for a couple more, but I'm just not having the time to write because of work.

Title: The End, The Beginning
Rating: R
Warnings: some horrific imagery
Word count: 863
Prompt: Maria and Nero: "Don't give up now."
A/N: Takes place very soon before Second Chance, Second Sight.

In the next day or two I'll get a quickie time line for the Maria stuff together. I've hit most of the high points for the "Dante" half of her story, just would like to work on some filler, but some of that takes *gasp* RESEARCH. ;-)

Porn Battle VII (The Seven Deadly Sins) is taking prompts!

In other news, I need to get writing. :-p

Title: A Wolf at the Door
Rating: PG
Word count: 143
Prompt: Sephiroth and Himura Kenshin with the title, "A Wolf at the Door"
A/N: Set during the prequal OVA

Remember the one I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I said had eaten my brain?

Title: Substitutes
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: language, violence, dub-con drug use, wall!sex
Word count: 3395 (!!!)
Prompt: Nero and Cat: "I'd hate to ruin the surprise."
A/N: Takes place 50 years after Devil May Cry 4.

So, um, yeah. Technically an AU of an OC, I think. It may end up my own cannon eventually. Oi...

Title: (untitled)
Rating: G
Warnings: Sora being irrepressibly sweet
Word count: 100
Prompt: Fran and Sora -- I've traveled the world and the seven seas / everybody's looking for something

And now I need to start writing again, because everything up to this point was already done. I'm almost near the end of a Cat/Nero smut fest (don't ask me how that happened), then I need to do the Nero and Maria prompt, then I would like to try to give Fran a decent ending to this "Rescueverse" storyline...

Oh, and areyougame just put up prompts... so far, 5 (if they all get approved), with a couple more I may go back to when I'm happy with what I did for no_true_pair. I'd also really like to try to finish one big writing project (Maria's story in more detail, Jenova's Children better fleshed out, etc.) this year.
