This is in the same vein as In An Eyeblink, so if you're not familiar with that other fic of mine, here's the rundown. These one-word prompts are from the 1sentence challenge on LiveJournal, which I encourage y'all to look into. The sentences mostly pertain to the book canon, with a bit of my own fanon thrown in. Feel free to add whatever context you want to the sentences, but if you're utterly confused drop me a review and I'll see if I can clear things up. Watch for naughty language, blood, and rampant spoilers for books 1-4.
1. Motion – Is it any surprise that most of the motions we 'vote' on pass either 5-0 or 4-1?
2. Cool – Knowing what a bitch fate is, I'm probably going to die of heat stroke five seconds after we get this air conditioner installed and running.
3. Young – "You're young, act like it, Kyon-kun," Tsuruya shouted, jogging past him up the hill to North High.
4. Last – "Late!"
5. Wrong – "Did you think I was being serious?" Koizumi asks, and his eyes drill straight into Kyon's, showing no humor whatsoever.
6. Gentle – Even when she's clinging to him in fear for her life, Asahina-san's grip is lighter than the touch of an angel.
7. One – From a certain point of view, there is only one person that matters in this world; but four people matter more to that one than anything else.
8. Thousand – After the first thousand iterations, Yuki found it impossible to care anymore.
9. King – The Queen may have all the power, but forces in the universe more familiar with the rules of chess than Koizumi Itsuki have taken note of the SOS-Dan's grumbling, ordinary King.
10. Learn – She'll never outright apologize for her behavior, but Haruhi is much gentler with Mikuru nowadays, and she even lets her dress herself… sometimes.
11. Blur – "I – ah – that… two seconds," said the gym teacher numbly, staring down the 100-meter dash pitch at the silver-haired girl, who had already picked up her book again.
12. Wait – It takes a titanic effort of will to keep from leaping out and grabbing Asakura's arm – the arm holding the knife that will nearly kill him – but Kyon looks back at Yuki, who watches her bespectacled self with inscrutable eyes, and draws his self-control from hers.
13. Change – "Kyuuuuu," Mikuru wailed, turning to jelly as Haruhi manhandled her and Kyon and Itsuki vacated the room at speed.
14. Command – It would be nice and refreshing to hear something phrased as a request every once in a while.
15. Hold – "Idiot, what do you think you're doi –" Haruhi managed before his lips met hers.
16. Need – "There is no greater duty than ours," Itsuki murmured, before the world flashed red and he went to slay a god.
17. Vision – It was tempting to peek, and it would have been easy, but Kyon is glad – if just a little annoyed – to find that he's a better man than that.
18. Attention – Oh my god she's on the PA system who let her in there and what the hell is she going to do with it
19. Soul – "What?" Kyon asked, surprised, and Yuki stared at him, not blinking.
20. Picture – Her favorite is the one from the ferry ride to Keiichi-san's island – the one with the five of them standing with their backs to the railing and the blue sea, smiling at the camera and ready to take on the world.
21. Fool – With her boundless energy and supreme self-confidence, there is no master of the Bavarian Fire Drill like Haruhi.
22. Mad – There was an instant of dead silence as Itsuki released Kyon's arm, and the look of betrayal and anger in Haruhi's eyes almost made him want to try again.
23. Child – "Hey, Kyon-kun, which of the onee-chans from the club are you going to marry?" Kyon's little sister asked him, eyes shining with a unique combination of innocence and mischief.
24. Now – If you're going to say something, say it now, Kyon thinks as he pulls his coat snug around Yuki's thin shoulders.
25. Shadow – "Follow that car," Haruhi bellowed, deafening Kyon and causing the taxi driver to swerve into the wrong lane for a moment.
26. Goodbye – The graduation ceremony has already ended, and silence reigned in the second-floor clubroom, with none of the five willing to be the first to say it.
27. Hide – It had seemed like a stupid idea just a few minutes ago, but with Haruhi skipping numbers on her way to 100, Kyon was roundly cursing the lack of good hiding places around the school.
28. Fortune – "'Whatever you want'," Haruhi read, absently munching the cookie; "What a stupid fortune."
29. Safe – "There is no need for you to move," Nagato said, pulling one of the meter-long stakes from her chest with a sickening sound and an arc-spray of blood.
30. Ghost – Does it make me a coward that I opted not to stick with Haruhi while she made us explore that haunted house, or just someone who knows the odds?
31. Book – 'I thought you would like this,' reads the printer-perfect handwritten note taped to a hefty book on Kyon's desk in I-5.
32. Eyes – The issue with her glasses is that they obscure her beautiful eyes.
33. Never – "Haruhi would never wish for someone to die," Kyon growled, his eyes fixed on the bright line between the sky and the sea.
34. Sing – The damn thing about Haruhi's band idea is that it would actually work; the only member of the SOS-Dan who can't sing is Kyon.
35. Sudden – Kyon felt his stomach buck as the darkness faded from his eyes, and the adult Asahina-san put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
36. Stop – "Freeze!" Haruhi shouted, and Mikuru skidded her way to a one-footed stop as Haruhi drew up the camera for an 'action' shot.
37. Time – "I'm permitted to tell you, yes, but I don't think I should," the adult Asahina-san said, smiling apologetically at the four members of the SOS-Dan who had assembled there that night.
38. Wash – "Like this, Nagato-san," Ryoko sighed, sliding the hundred-yen coins into the washer's slot while Yuki watched her blankly.
39. Torn – "Oh no," Mikuru sobbed, pulling futilely at the ragged edges of her sleeve where the thorny branch had ripped it.
40. History – Right now, Kyon has lived through eighteen Tanabatas, three December 18th, 2010s, one fake stabbing, one attempted stabbing, one real stabbing, fifteen thousand Augusts… and he wouldn't have it any other way.
41. Power – The three observers vary wildly in their theories, but all three agree that Suzumiya Haruhi's true power is her personality.
42. Bother – "Kyon-kun, your phone ~"
43. God – Who knows if she is or not?
44. Wall – "It's like some kind of force field," Haruhi muttered, pressing both hands against the invisible ripple in the air that marked the boundary of closed space.
45. Naked – She looks lost, alone and confused in the early morning chill, like a newborn baby.
46. Drive – Itsuki took a seat next to Kyon on the bus with a bottle of water, a determined expression, and several dozen pages of illustratory diagrams.
47. Harm – "I told you I wouldn't forgive you if you hurt Nagato-san," Asakura chided, pulling the knife from Kyon's side with a brutal yank.
48. Precious – "She is literally everything to us," Itsuki explained quietly, fiddling with the cuff of his blazer.
49. Hunger – "How about looking at something other than the food projects?" Kyon asked, pulling Taniguchi away from C-2's dango stand.
50. Believe – "If they do anything to you – anything at all," Kyon said, his voice low and determined, "I'll tell Haruhi everything, and I'll make her believe me."
Notes!
5. Wrong - Itsuki is a very passive-agressive person, to a frankly disturbing level.
19. Soul - This one is based off the short story What Is Soul?, by Perkele, a very talented writer. Go read his stuff. I'll wait.
21. Fool - The Bavarian Fire Drill is what you call any occurrence where someone gets away with doing something they shouldn't by pretending to belong there. As long as you look purposeful, generally this works.
22. Mad - Sigh, right after Kyon nearly punches Haruhi.
26. Goodbye - Yes, I know Mikuru's a second-year...
31. Book - Neuromancer, by William Gibson. Perhaps.
37. Time - What time she's from, that is.
38. Wash - What is this Earth technology...?
42. Bother - We've entered an endless recursion of time.
45. Naked - Disappearance.
46. Drive - Itsuki talks a lot, did you notice?
50. Believe - And the KyonYuki 'shippers rejoiced.
