>< So, I am very behind in my posts. For one, my laptop display died, so I can't get to my work. Two, I have been visiting my grandparents.

I should be back in business tomorrow or Friday with any luck.

Sorry for the hold ups to any who read these. >

Gah, missed yesterday, apologies.

After a long absence, I noticed that there have been dwindling posts... So I have decided to take and fulfill all of the old prompts and post them. They will be done in bundles of fives, so I hope someone enjoys them!

Long live the community!

Title: Not in Front of the Children
Author: Veleda_k
Author's Notes: I was playing with a random word generator, and got the word "expletive." Somehow, this came about. My brain is diseased.



Hisoka looked at the strange, blobby things and glared. Watari could make whatever twisted creations he wanted, as long as they didn't make trouble for Hisoka.

This definitely counted as trouble.

"Daddy! Daddy!" The bizarrely adorable blobs crowded around his legs.

"I am not your daddy! Dammit!" he spat.

"Hisoka!" Tsuzuki looked horrified. "Not in front of our children! You'll be a terrible example if you don't--Ah! No! Domestic abuse will create a horrible environment! They won't be able to form healthy relationships later in life!"

In the corner, Watari shook his head. "Those kids will need years of therapy."

Title: Pygmalion
Author: Veleda_k
Spoilers: King of Swords arc
Author's Notes: Don't die on me, community!


Rediscovering the boy is a pleasant surprise. He expects to once again take pleasure in those terrified emerald eyes, that trembling porcelain body. He doesn't expect the fury or the steely resolve. He becomes intrigued.

On their third meeting, the boy stares him in the eyes without flinching, and even goes so far as to challenge him. The boy leaves thinking he's won, not realizing that the game has just begun.

He leaves the boy with a gravely injured Tsubaki-hime, already knowing how the lovers' tragedy will play out.

“I'll make something of you yet,” he whispers.

There hasn't been a new challenge the past few weeks because your admin has been doing the medical rounds. I'm still hip deep in doctor's appointments. Challenge posts will commence when I'm once again spending more time asleep than in waiting rooms.

Feel free to check back through the archives for older topics, if you're in need of inspiration. This would also be a great time to tag your old posts. *G*

This week's challenge is Attention.

Title: Life's Precious Jewels
Author: Veleda (veleda_k)
Spoilers: King of Swords arc
Author's Notes: They were so sweet before they became horrifically doomed. Written for femslash100.


Eileen stands at the edge of the room, terrified. The people around her glitter and gleam, and every woman is wearing jewelry worth more than Eileen has seen in her life.

"Eileen! Why are you alone?" Tsubaki-hime runs up to her, her diamond necklace glimmering. She frowns when she sees Eileen's misery. "Aren't you having fun?"

Eileen shakes her head. "I don't belong here," she says softly.

Tsubaki-hime puts her hands on her hips. "Nonsense. You're the prettiest girl here." She smiles. "Dance with me."

As she allows herself to be led, Eileen thinks that Tsubaki-hime's smile is prettier than any gem.

This week's challenge is Lies.

Title: Logic
Author: Veleda
Spoilers: Kamakura arc
A/N: I'm writing stuff! Of course, I should be doing homework, but, uh, so what?


Nagare decides early on that there is no point in visiting the boy in the hospital. It isn't as if he can accomplish anything, after all.

It's best to act as if the child (no, not child, abomination) is already dead. A clean break is better than watching his son (it, there is no merit in thinking of it as his son) waste away in slow agony. Besides, the boy is a monster and too weak to even live long enough to die properly. He isn't worth missing.

Nagare's gut twists, and he wishes that his heart could agree with his logic

This week's challenge is Mystery.
