Tuesday's older fiction

I mentioned I might do this quite a while back, and now I'm actually following through. I'm setting them free! These are mostly probably definitely abandoned. Expect a lot of tiny, tiny snippets and jumping around, as I don't always do well with linear. I might poke at and pick back up one or two of these (or take and use bits for other fic), but don't pin all your hopes on seeing more of any of these:

Dresden: Genderfuck:
( I looked from Marcone to the window and shivered a little. My smile was all edges when I turned back to him.  )

***
Dresden: Harry/Marcone resurrection fic:
( There was a flash of light and the acrid stench of burning hair. )

***
Harry Potter: Neville/Luna, various (slightly more likely to be picked up, but maybe not, as I'm probably done with HP for a long, long while):
( He stuttered to an awkward halt, face flaming, mouth dry, and watched Luna’s face carefully for any sign of derision, though with Luna it was hard to tell. )

***
Hikago: attempted blind_go zombie AU (I haven't touched this for a year, and it has too many problems; it's definitely abandoned):
( Sai’s eyes were pinched, face paler than Hikaru remembered. )

***
Naruto: Lee/Gaara kidnapping snippet (there is actually a shamefully large amount more, but it is lost in misplaced notebooks and flash drives. You can tell it's much older in that I hadn't settled in to spelling Kankurou with the extended vowel yet):
( Naruto )

***
Naruto: Abandoned kink meme snippets (from last November: Neji/Tenten, Shikamaru/Kankurou, Kakashi/Guy, Sakura/Ino)
( There were many things she had never suspected about Neji Hyuuga before dating him. For one, she had never thought he'd be such a kinky fuck. )

***
Psych: Gus and Shawn in a familiar sci-fi setting:
( Dude, I don't want to break your special personal space bubble, but- )

***

So some of those are freed because I haven't touched them in a long time, because I couldn't figure out where I was going, it would take too long, it was just plain horrible writing/plot/everything, the tone varied too much, it went in a direction I really didn't want, or various combinations of these reasons (and many more). I have a lot more in my wip folders (you have no idea how much more), but these are the ones I've set free and thus freed myself from feeling obligated to work on at all, ever.

As I said, there may be one or two I'll come back to (Dresden and HP of these look more likely than the rest), but it's a relief to take a bunch of things out of the wip folders. I know they'll only too soon be replaced especially if the Psych folder keeps increasing at its current rate.

Last of the drabble trade! Uh, this post is a bit longer. Not a show of obvious bias, not at all. >_>;



( Guy swallowed hard, mouth dry. )

( Guy ran his fingers along Kakashi's cheeks, his lips, traced the length of his nose. )

( He hoped that each of his students would strike true. )

( Kakashi snatched up the green cloth and brandished it at Guy. )

( The cicadas chirped their lonely song, and a single frog added its own dubious baritone to their chorus. )

( Kakashi's eyes were wide open and staring down at Guy. )

( Guy didn't like to admit to any failings as an accommodating lover, but . . . )

( When the sakura litter the dirt and clog the puddles, when petals stick to shoes and slacks and everything they touch, Kakashi chooses to take advantage of a season of endings, beginnings. )

( Kakashi always smelled of burnt clover and old ink, always had smears of it along his lips like he sucked on his pens while grading and imprinted in the whorls of his thumbs from the constant reading. )

( The scent of ozone was strong that afternoon, and Guy had only just finished closing his windows against the impending rain when the knock came. )
