GET YOUR THINGS TOGETHER, KIDS. WE'RE MOVING!

GIVING THANKS WITH FIC?

2009-11-27T01:45:30Z

So. Someone once said "if it's shippable, Cella ships it". And I won't deny this. However my idea of shipping can vary from romance, friendship, crack, to violence.

I bring you drabbles, set in the Last Stretch 'verse. Could-bes, what-ifs, head canon -- whatever you want to call them. Maybe they happen, maybe they don't, maybe they never will -- I just wanted to write them.

And to answer your question: YES, I TAKE REQUESTS! Just remember that, this being AU, your character is your own and I don't know how to write it as well as you do -- but if you want a drabble from Sakura's perspective with your character involved, then go ahead and ask! :D And make of it what you will; shippy, unshippy, what-if, could-be, head canon. Et cetera.

title; a rush of silliness
characters; Shino, Sakura

It's past midnight, and they shouldn't be here -- she should be home studying, and he should probably be doing the same. Although, comparing both their tendencies, he's probably been studying for a longer time than she has. So, all in all, they deserve this break. Or better said, he needs to learn how to be silly.

Panting slightly, her cheeks still flushed from having the wind brush over them as she went on the swings just a minute ago, Sakura lets herself collapse on the grass hill on the riverbank, and stares at the sky, expecting him to join her. He does.

"How much of astronomy do you know?" she asks him, and sprawls herself like a cat in the grass, legs and hands all over. "I don't remember much aside from what they taught me in high school, but I'm gonna try to find Orion's belt."

There's a beat of silence, before he asks: "Why Orion's belt?"

"It's my favourite. So tightly-knit, on an equal level...sort of like a family. I don't know," she trails off. He remains silent, very much aware of all her issues regarding familial bonds and the like. A second later, she feels a pressure on the hand nearest to him.

Sucking in a breath, she dares to look down, and then catches his eyes with hers. He's holding her hand. Something twists in her stomach, her toes curl inward, and her heart starts beating faster. He looks at her with that inscrutable expression he always seems to have, and she has the biggest urge to close the distance...

She bites her lip, and looks away. Back at the sky. The sky is familiar and not confusing like he is being right now. I thought human contact made you uncomfortable. There's a blush on her cheeks that only accentuates when he asks:

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"You have that look..."

"Oh," she dryly says. "I forgot you were an expert on reading other's facial expressions." A beat. "It's nothing, I just had the urge to..."

A beat. Another. Another. Take a chance, her mind whispers. "Uhm," she hesitates, then covers her eyes with her free arm. "Kissyou."

Silence.

"Oh."

She laughs loudly, embarrassed and thrilled, and feels very silly. So, all in all, mission accomplished.

title; some things never change
characters; Sakura, Sasuke

“It’s clean,” is what she says when he lets her into the studio.

She says it like she wasn’t expecting it. Like a lot of things that he does and says that are unexpected and directed at her; like all those things that make her do a double-take and mark the day in the calendar as ‘Sasuke was not a douche bag’ (even though most days it’s marked as ‘Sasuke was a douche bag’). Like when she has to give her old aunt a compliment during the holidays and all she can come up with is ‘you’re…neat’. It’s…clean.

“Of course it is,” he says, although he might as well be saying ‘Don’t touch anything’.

It makes her fingers itch to touch something, put something out of place, see how much it takes for him to get angry, or turn douchebag. That much she knows how to deal with. “So,” she breaks the silence again, and watches the pictures on the walls. “If it’s so clean, why the change of clothes?”

As with everything, Sasuke’s only answer is to give her a look that says ‘you should know better’, and make her feel stupid without even trying. She hates how he flusters her so easily. Almost lost in a sea of unknown -- so this is his passion, is it? -- she looks for anything that could keep her grounded. And finds it.

Or them.

“Oh, hey, tomatoes,” she says, and reaches out.

His hand clasps her wrist tightly, and his eyes dig holes into hers as he, with the uttermost seriousness, says “Don’t touch the tomatoes.”

And Sakura’s only reaction is to laugh. She’s found the thing to keep her grounded. “You’re still a dork about them, then.”

Herro. I'm just popping in...again...to let you all know I've picked up your friendly neighborhood Haku and he needs friends. Do it. Go.

let's play a game!

2009-10-24T13:43:31Z

Let's play the "Pretend Kit has no clue what's going on with anyone anymore" game! If Kiba owes a tag or if you want him to get involved in a particular log/scene/journal post/whatever...comment here (and links are lovely)!

Hina/Shino....this means you two as well. WTB Team 8 love. ♥

>_> Hiiii. I just wanted to pop in and let you all know that I am not actually dead, eaten by swamp monsters, or running from a zombie massacre. I am just...a super busy girl. Howevah-Poke me, prod me, any way you want me...er, heh. I mean, give me a nudge and plot with me. For I am bored...and you should love me.

Hey guys. My computer fritzed out over the weekend like an... angry, fritzing computer. I handed it over to computing services, and their ETA of a diagnosis (which does not equal a fixed computer) is in the next two days, making the earliest I'll have my own computer again... some time next week? If you need me/want to flail/something else fun and exciting, you can hit me up over email (princeofthedanes[at]gmail), because I do have email time worked out at the library every day. I might not be responding to Shino and Zetsu logs until I have my own computer back, is all.

Love? Pudding?

BACK!

London was awesome, I bought ten books and stuffed them in my backpack, and came back home with 2€ in my pockets, lmfao. And that's exactly how much money I've left for this month, but. I will manage. I will see.

Stop! Quick tiny hiatus! Notifying of my absence from the 17th-19th, as I will be in the British capital city, taking pictures like a mofo and eating fish and chips or something idek.

Either way, muse goes on autopilot. This means: NO, ASHLEY, SHE HAS NOT SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED OFF TO SOMEWHERE, OKAY?

Not that there'll be much activity in a weekend. Or. idk. WILL BACKTAG AND BACKLOG WHEN I RETURN!

peeks in and fidgets

2009-10-15T00:44:56Z

I'm dropping in to apollogize for being so flighty lately. First the plague ate mine and Chibi's souls, I've been trying to get line arts done for a game site that's in beta (not my site, Ima just doing arts for it and some shite), and then this weekend when I was finally going to have time to do something here my brother tries to kill the Chibi. Since Saturday I've been running around between hospitals, dr's offices, arguing with insurance companies and trying to get my *insert colorful words here* AFLAC agent on the phone about getting my *insert more colorful words here* claim filed so I can get some cash to cover the medical shite.

Anyways... I'm off from work tonight and tomorrow. Please, someone... anyone... poke me and drag me into something. Anything. I promise I won't kick and scream to much.

And... just because go here and click the preview.

I say what's cooler than being cool? /brb in new york

2009-10-08T23:52:38Z

A HIATUS, THAT'S WHAT.

No.

Just kidding.

That's not cool.

Not at all.

However that's the way the IRL cookie crumbles. I will be gone until Tuesday, as I will be all the way in the great state of New York to watch my boiz play some football. And most of you who know me understand that this is VERY IMPORTANT BUSINESS, AMIRITE?

Ja, so, diese ist kein problem. Ich wird am Montag Heimat fliegen, und dann ich wird mit Ihnen allen plotten. Alles ist kühl. Ein Internet für jedermann was dies verstehen.

PB change!

2009-10-03T02:45:32Z

HAY GUYS. DON'T PANIC, IT'S STILL SAKURA!

But now with a wider range of facial expression that come hand in hand with this pretty and adorable new PB. Aoi Miyazaki, btw.

I got endlessly frustrated by how Erika Toda wasn't cutting it for me in some entries, and found me someone less pose-y and more dorky. You will see the extent of this....once my beautiful wonderful icon maker finishes them. ♥

lol i also got tired of trying to match the old icon keywords so if from nowon when visiting old threads you only get the default...it's cause i remodelled. everything.

sorry for my inactivity of late but I've managed to go from two weeks of an ear infection to still having said infection *plus* some sort of cough/chest/congestion/I dunno what crap. LIke...have barely been vertical all weekend.

So, as soon as I'm back to rights, I will make an effort to get back into gear and more active.

I'm so tired of being sick... >_<

HELLO. IT'S UM JULES AND GAARA.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING SO PATIENT WITH ME. August swallowed me, esp. with a vacation at the end, and when I returned work thanked me for going away by having me work like, three 48-hour weeks in a row. (Okay, two, but).

BUT UM, I WILL TRY VERY HARD TO CLEAN UP MY ACT and also rub noses with everyone.

Yes, you.

My nose wants to say hello. So.

Hay goiz.

Its kyaki. I picked up Deidara. And I can probably hold him for a while considering the guy can't really be that heavy; he looks like a stick.

Love me. Love me.

Due to school being made of EPIC FAIL and sucking up all of my time between class/work study/homework/RAing...I am going to drop out of the game. I haven't been active and I feel bad lingering. With luck things will stop being mean and I can come back, but as of this moment my RPs are looking very sparse. Anyway! Please remove Sakon and Ukon from your flists and so on! I love you all! <3
