I decided to challenge myself a bit, since I haven't written a fic in…it feels like forever. Really needed to flex the creative muscles outside of an rpg, you know? And then, I stumbled across the rules for this little game for writing little drabbles in a sort of rapid-fire relay style. It turned out to be pretty hard with the time limits, and I might try again without them just to see what develops.
Also: I don't own YYH, though I DO go on hiatus almost as often as its author.
Rules of the game
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn your music player on and turn it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabblet/ficlet related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterward! No matter how whacked out your drabble is.
4. Do ten of these, then post them.
1. "STARS" – Nakashima Mika.
"Unless you can touch it, it can't exist. That's how they think – those people that give up. The distant light has not gone out yet."
He was dead.
He was dead, but they wouldn't give up. They couldn't.
Even from within this dark place, he'd been their light of hope. It was unthinkable that with a simple action he'd been overpowered. The light…extinguished.
But then there was another light. An unexpected one, though it stemmed from the warmth that the body on the cave floor had once given all of them. The sword of light slashed through the darkness, freeing them from confinement.
All of them, their hearts broken though they were, had a single goal uniting them now. A path they had to follow. His light still existed, after all, so long as they were alive to keep fighting.
