I have been writing lots of drabbles in different fandoms and crossovers, all exactly 100 words. Most of them are gen, but there are a couple of het and slash pairings in the last few. I had fun writing them, so I hope you will enjoy reading them:

 

Highlander :-

Kronos is nearly 400 the first time he sees snow. White flakes fall as if the clouds themselves were breaking apart and dropping to the dirt.  He wonders if they have angered a God and the sky is going to bury them in punishment. Methos leans across his horse and calls it ‘snow’. Kronos nods relieved the world will not end today, Methos would know, even now he is sure he will never equal the knowledge of the older immortal. Kronos swings his blade slashing apart a laughing local captive reminding them that even when the sky falls he rules.

 

******

 

A strike of his blade, was followed by a rush of lightening searing every nerve ending. For a minute a host of voices clamoured for control drowning the 200 year old quickening. His sanity teetered on a knife edge as Adam Pierson was shredded under the weight of Benjamin Adams, Matthias Adamson, Death and a thousand others stirred into life by the liquid fire of the quickening. The steady pulse that was Methos swept them all aside. Past personas were buried and for a moment he was Methos whilst he painstakingly pieced Adam Pierson together and allowed him control again.  

 

****

 Highlander/Buffy

“People don’t usually come to bars to get stone tablets translated,” Adam Pierson grinned at the blonde student tipping his bottle to take another drink, “So what makes you think I can help you?”

She crossed her arms “Someone told me you’re good with old things, obviously not so much.”

He smiled at the manipulation offered her a folded piece of paper “You can have your translation if you give me the original.” He called out as she left with her translation   “Hey Slayer, tell Ripper he still owes me.”

Methos smirked, pleased at the return of his old recipe.

 

******

 

 

 

 

Magnificent 7/ Highlander:-

Josiah Sanchez was dead and buried, shot during a bank robbery. The funeral had been attended by the entire population of four corners. When he had sat up halfway through the ceremony it was difficult to tell who was more surprised, the mourners or the newly immortal Josiah. His six friends weren’t sure whether to celebrate or shoot the undead creature, eventually they decided it was a medical marvel. Nathan sometimes muttered about disappearing scars and Chris watched him out of the corner of his eye, but life continued as normal. Then Melvin Koren came through town and everything changed.

 

 

*****

 Magnificent 7/ Dr Who

“So Buck, what do you think it is?” JD asked excitedly gesturing at the blue box “It made this strange noise, one minute there was nothing here, then here’s this box.”

Buck looked at it head tilted on one side and tried to think what it might be “Whoa slow down boy. It says Police Box on it, so I reckon that’s what it is.”

They stepped back hands on their guns as the box opened and a man stepped out followed by a strangely dressed coloured girl. He grinned widely holding out his hand “Oh, Hello. I’m the doctor.”

 

*****

 

 

 

Charmed:-

 

The day Wyatt Halliwell was born magic stopped, he was born in bright lights fulfilling a centuries old prophecy. The day his younger brother Chris was born the balance between Good and Evil had been disrupted. An elder went insane and tried to kill Wyatt and a 23 year old version of himself from a future where Wyatt was evil had bled to death in his Father’s arms. On the whole Chris thought it was remarkable they had grown up as normal as they did, even if Wyatt was annoyingly perky and optimistic and Chris was a little tightly wound.

 

 

*****

 

 

Gundam Wing:-

 

When he thought about it at all Chang Wufei was proud to be the most straight forward and uncomplicated of the gundam pilots. Doubts, regrets and conflicting priorities make one weak and Wufei hates weakness. Wufei is a warrior and warriors don’t need complications. To Wufei there are three types of people: Those he fights with, those he fights against and those who are weak and should stay out of his way. In Wufei’s mind there are only four people that he fights with (whatever Sally Po may think) and even they are barely tolerated. Warriors don’t need friends either.

 

******

 

 

If the correct pressure was applied, a threat to destroy a colony or the nagging of a certain medic, Wufei might admit that he admires Heero Yuy and secretly (he hopes) aspired to be more like him almost from the first time they met.  Heero is single minded and determined, with both the will and the strength to take on any enemy without flinching, and without submitting to the horrible confusion and madness at the end of the first war. The most amazing part though is that Heero does what he must but also lives true to his own emotions.

 

****

 

Heero has never said ‘I love you’, not once in the last fifteen years and Duo doesn’t think he will say it in the next fifteen, or the fifteen after that. He tells Duo every day though, when he rolls his eyes and picks up Duo’s laundry or when he moves dirty car parts out of the way. When he goes with Duo to movies he hates and when he stands in the corner of a club Duo wanted to visit and glares. Heero tells Duo he loves him everytime he checks his flak jacket or weapons one extra time.

 

****

 

 

 

Prince of Tennis:-

 

Contrary to popular opinion Oishi was not Eiji’s first date that had been his first year with a girl in his class whose name he could now no longer remember. Oishi’s first date had been before they had even really been friends, with his class rep. Oishi wasn’t his first boyfriend either, there had been that brief (and slightly strange) flirtation with Fuji in the middle of their second year. It had been mostly a joke between them but it still counted (sort of). Oishi was his first kiss, though he wasn’t Oishi’s, but he hoped to be his last.

I really liked the Gundam Wing ones. The last one in particular touched me. Given the choice I would take a Heero Yuy over someone who just talks it. Words are great, but if they aren't backed up with actions they're meaningless.

That was my favourite GW one too. Heero says a lot he just doesn't do it with words, I figure Duo talks enough for both of them anyway. Perfect match.

Thank you ^_^. Those two shows have managed to hijack my brain, I even dream about them.

Fun snippets. I really want to see more of the Doctor with Buck and JD. That would make for some fun adventures

That one was probably the most fun to write. It just came to me and took less than a minute to write. I can just see Buck and JD going on adventures with the doctor, they'd cause such mayhem. Chris would be sooo mad if they just up and disappeared.

Thank you ^_^, and I actually managed to write something for magnificent 7 too. I've been wanting to but I just don't know the characters well enough yet to write anything long. Baby steps.

oh, i especially love the last GW one!! so much story was told in so few words :D

I like the middle one too--I mean, who doesn't admire Heero :) i like that wufei hopes he does it in secret! aw!
thanks for sharing these!

Thank you ^_^ glad you liked it. That last one was my favourite too.

Poor Wufei, he's so determined he doesn't need anyone or anything, just that little bit of hero worship gives him something to aspire to.

LOVED the drabble with Heero! Actions speak louder than words and Heero is someone who acts. I wrote my first 100 word drabble today so I can appreciate how tough it is to get it down to just that many words. Excellent work!

Thank you ^_^, glad you enjoyed it. It was fun trying to get them to 100 words.

BTW I love your little Quatre icon.

I *adore* the second Highlander one, and the HL/Buffy xover made me smile.

Thank you :-). I liked that HL drabble too, it was actually part of a longer fic which never went anywhere, but I just loved that paragraph, so a little bit of modification and here we are.

I've had a Buffy going to Adam Pierson for a translation bunny running around for awhile but it never grew beyond one scene, so done.

I like writing drabbles, all those little plot bunnies I have but could never make into a full story can be written.

I too love the last GW one. Its my first read on valentines day too, so very appropriate :)

From: [identity profile] sharona1x2.livejournal.com


All three GW drabbles were awesome. I'm glad you wrote about Wufei. He sometimes gets lost among all the stories about the other guys. Of course, I'm partial to the third drabble, but you have to expect that with me. ^_^

Yay for Qishi and Eiji, too. I'm sure those two will always stay together. ♥

Poor Wufei, he doesn't get enough love, he's so often left on his own. It's funny though as he's almost as much fun to write as Duo.
See I thought with a username like yours you would be a Heero/Relena shipper :-).

Glad you liked the golden pair drabble, they are so cute together and like Quatre and Trowa a totally canon pair.

The Mag 7 ones were wonderful, and like others I'd like to add my vote to the "Please expand the Doctor Who/Buck and JD one" crowd, and I really liked the Highlander/Buffy ones as well
ext_33591: (Default)

From: [identity profile] fractured-sun.livejournal.com


Thank you ^_^, I like writing in this format it lets me try out lots of different ideas. Not promising anything but I do fancy trying to write some more of Buck and JD's adventures with the doctor.

From: [identity profile] tpena19.livejournal.com


Well, I liked them all! Crossovers rock.

And since no one has commented on it yet, I have to say the first highlander one, about the snow, was pretty cool. Good visuals, and good grasp of the emotions and what not going on there.
ext_33591: (blahblah)

From: [identity profile] fractured-sun.livejournal.com


Thank you ^_^.

I had lots of fun writing them all, I think I like writing drabbles.
