Pick one of my icons and I'll write you a ficlet based on said icon. If you choose a stock/text only icon, feel free to choose a fandom or characters you think I might know.

A lot of my text only are from a fandom: Divergent, but I'll take swapping or crossover.

Fandom: X-Men Movieverse
Title: To Be Wild
Summary: What are sisters for? Raven
Length: ~1300
Prompt:

starsparkle333 | Give me an inch / I promise I'll take a mile / Danger is beauty / I'll face it with a smile / / I'm on a mission / With no restrictions / Don't second guess myself / I'm born to be wild

give me an inch

I promise I'll take a mile

Forgetting wasn't a luxury any of them indulged in. Not Erik—those years hunting his personal nightmares down until every last one of them was dead were not some deviation from his character. Not Charles—he couldn't hold to hope if he didn't hold to the memories that made it possible, the times spent laughing in the sun with a little blue girl who made him feel one day, no mutant child would ever have to be alone. Not Raven—memory was the key to illusion, and illusion was her one tool, her one gift, her one form of controlling a world that had always caged her in.

So... I just put up my Completed Fanfics Index and noticed I have some under-represented pairings.

Accepting any prompts for the following:

X-Men: Evolution
Kitty/Piotr

X-Men Movieverse
~~Charles/Emma~~: "Dysfunction"
Gambit/Storm
Hank/Raven (yes, I'm working on a multi-part, but it's not done)
~~Logan/Storm~~: "Empty Spaces"
Bobby/Pyro/Rogue

If there's something else I don't write a lot (or at all) and you want to see (pref. in a fandom on the list), feel free to prompt for it. Images, music, quotes, whatever. I'll write a drabble or commentfic.

Current Mood: contemplative

Fandom: X-Men Movieverse
Title: To Be Wild
Summary: What are sisters for? Raven
Length: ~300 words
Prompt:

give me an inch

He always kept the welcome mat out for her, when she showed up, small blue elf in tow and asked for him to be placed in a good home anywhere that neither of their ideologies reigned; when she showed up, battered and bruised from one too many raids on one too many top-secret, mutant-experimenting facilities, not a word across her lips how many people she had killed (he found that out later from Havok's clean-up mission to discover the place had been blown to smithereens, workers still inside), and when she showed up, angry and hurt because Erik had bandaged all the hurt places Azazel had left behind, then turned around and fathered twins on Magda and proclaimed her the love of his life.

Charles never could turn anyone away.

Alex backed away wary. She let him, until the night she found him rocking a tiny, blue-tailed baby in his arms. She looked at him and smiled. Alex did not trust the smile.

Sean ignored her when he could, but he found it tough to ignore her those three weeks she spent recovering with them before Alex learned the truth. Raven had always liked his favorite ice cream; they used to bond over rocky road. One night, one kitchen. He gave an inch.

Hank would sometimes reach out tentatively, to be greeted in return with white smiles in her blue skin and reassured, once more, she found him more attractive for all that made him mutant than for all that had once let him hide.

Just one inch.

Azazel's baby. The death of one hundred and forty-two humans she clearly cared nothing about (raised eyebrows, infinitesimal shrug). One more rebound from one more rejection from one more man that had promised her the world. Betrayal after betrayal, but Charles never could turn anyone away.

Title: What's in a Name?
Author: scribble_myname
Fandom: X-Men Movieverse
Ratings/Warnings: T
Prompt: We have too many high-sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them. — Abigail Adams (1744-1818), second First Lady of the United States.
Summary: Raven was the one who started calling it "slave name."
Author's Note: Beta'ed by the wonderful Heavenmetal

"You really should choose a new name," Mystique states suddenly into the quiet boredom of the newborn Brotherhood's first week at the safe house Erik had initially chosen.

(Erik sure knew how to pick a safe house, but Angel doesn't look too closely at that. After all, wasn't he trained by the man he killed?)

( Read more... )

Story Title: Lonely
Fandom: X-Men Movieverse AU
Summary: They pretend they aren't two of the loneliest people in the world. Rogue/Remy

He pretends he hasn't been exiled from his wife for the last ten years. She pretends her husband hasn't been in a coma for the last seven.

They pretend they aren't two of the loneliest people in the world.

She laughs over her Starbucks frappaccino. He smiles over his diner black.

If their eyes linger too long on each other's hands, eyes, and mouths, neither admits it. If his hand brushes her shoulder when he helps her out of her chair, neither comments. If they dance too close, too slow, and too long and wish this world wasn't pretend...

Well.

Comic Series: Darkholme & Xavier
Issue Title: "The Baby and the Bath Water, Part 1"
Summary: Charles Xavier and Raven Darkholme are mutants by birth and siblings by choice, living in a world that does not accept them for what they are. Together, they face the difficulties of life, love and friendship; uncover conspiracies against mutants and humanity; and fight the good fight on their own terms. Only now, the problems are more personal than ever when Raven gets in over her head and even Charles may not be enough to saver her.
Author Notes: Inspired by

gwendolynflight, whose commentary on what and what is not a comment bit my muse. (I really need to reign that muse in.) Beta'ed by

lilacsigil I'm not sure how long the series is going to be (leaning towards four issues), but it'll probably be at least a month before I finish Part II.
Ratings/Warnings: Teen, adult situations
Disclaimer: Clearly not mine.

Title: What's in a Name?
Fandom: X-Men: The Movie
Characters: Pyro, Iceman - roommate fluff
Summary: Sleep is a rare commodity for the Iceman.
Challenge: #412 at

writers_choice

Bobby blamed that infernal device: it kept him up all hours of the night, tempted and instigated general mayhem, and drove every law-abiding, well-behaved kid at Mutant High positively batty.

It was, of course, St. John Allerdyce's lighter.

"John!"

Bobby got a glare at that, one he shouldn't be able to see at midnight, but sorry, we've got an almost bonfire in here, and seeing the expression on his roommate's face was all too easy.

"It's Pyro," St. John Allerdyce snapped while simultaneously clicking his Zippo lighter shut for the umpteenth and a thousandth time.

Bobby tried the calm negotiation techniques he'd asked Mr. Summers for earlier. "If I call you Pyro, will you please stop clicking the lighter."

The lighter flicked open. John's hand hesitated. He looked...thoughtful.

Bobby felt his hopes rise.

A long pause, then, "Go ahead and call me John if you want." John nodded conclusively. "Just don't expect me to respond." The lighter snapped shut.

Bobby fell back onto his pillow with a groan.

This was a

There's something lyrical about this one. It just draws you in and lets you swim around. It's the first story I've ever seen without any quotation marks for the dialogue. I'm tempted to say, just leave them out, this lyrical, dream-like quality is just that good.

Wow. Am I really only six pages in? This is where I remark to myself, I'm sitting in the hands of an author who knows what they're doing.

Twelve pages: still hooked.

Wow. (I'm saying that a lot.) On page seventeen, and I'm genuinely awed at how real this is, how it handles these deep, crazy hurts and makes me feel them but not die with them; it's not drama; it's poetry, and it's perfect.

I don't think I'd care if there were chapter breaks. I could keep reading this without them until I hit the end (don't end).

It ended. You better be reading this,

in_the_blue, 'cause I expect you to get back on it.

First 10 prompts will get a strict drabble; that is, a 100 words fic. No promises after 10 although I'll do my bestest.
