These are just random, short little drabbles, I'm not even sure if they count as fanfiction, per se. But they do have my Hong Kong and the lovely Neehawn's Iceland in them, so I'm posting them up as such. The way this usually works, for us, is that she'll give me lists of weird and completely random words, and I'll incorporate them into a story, usually with the pairing HKxIceland.

Please don't comment saying you don't like the pairing, or flame it just because of the way I play Hong Kong, or anything. Constructive criticism and positive reviews are always much appreciated, though.

Another note: These are all AU, and human names are used. Hong Kong is Xue-Zhong Wang, called Xue; Iceland is Eirikur Hauksson, called Ice.

Story 1: Dead cows. Haunting Xue. Don'taskme,Ididn'tthinkitup.


Once upon a time, there was a boy named Xue, and even though he was a city boy, he used to visit his brothers, who owned a farm on the mainland, every summer. And one year, when he was about... six, I suppose, one of the cows gave birth to a pair of twins, and his brothers gave them to Xue, to be his pets and to teach him responsibility. Little Xue adored his little cows, and took care of them very well, and in returned, the cows adored him too, and followed him everywhere when he was there, and when he had to go back to Hong Kong, at the end of every summer, they were always sad.

Xue grew up, though, and his visits to his brothers grew shorter and shorter, because he was busy, and the cows missed him terribly, because they didn't understand. And since they used to look forward to his visits every summer, without them, the cows grew sick, and sicker, until one winter day, they died. But though they were dead, their spirits remained, and floated- ghosts float, right? Even those of dead cows?- all the way across the bridge seperating Hong Kong and China, to look for Xue.

And they kept looking, and kept looking, though they were frightened by all the city, for Xue, and they found him, at last, one spring day. But he couldn't see them, and no matter how loudly they mooed, he couldn't hear them, and didn't know they were there. And spring for Xue that year was very cold. Anyway. That'snotthepoint. Finally, Xue met this weird white boy, lost and looking for his brother, and for some reason, the boy, who was called Ice, could see ghosts, and immediately told Xue that he was being haunted by ghost cows.

Xue finally realized that his little cows, who had grown up under his care and died without it, were there, and he took Ice and went to a park, where the ghost cows would be more comfortable, and told them that he was so, so sorry, for ditching them and stuff, and told them that he loved them, very much. And the ghost cows mooed back, because he could hear them with Ice around, and Xue hugged them, as best as he could hug ghosts, and waved bye to them, as they went to the spirit realm. And that day, the day that he finally made his peace with his pets, was the first day of summer.


Drabble One, end.

I feel the need to point out that had it not been specified that there had to be cows, as in plural, Xue would only have had one cow and not two cows.
