Aikakone updating her fic, The Man Who Fell to Earth, inspired me to go back to work on Try to Wish, I am sure a few of you would be happy about that. While you wait for news of an upcoming chapter, I thought I would post a few more drabbles from my live journal accounts to hold you over.

This was a request via a meme on LJ from a friend of mine, Syv on Air. She asked for a Hikaru/Lantis drabble. This is what I came up with.

Resolution

She lingered in the corridor as the storm raged around them. Lighting blazed lighting up the sky and the dark corner she had retreated to as she watched him quietly sitting awashed in an ethereal light. There were not words for the guilt she felt for what they had done. What she had done.

How do you approach a man who was the brother of a man you had killed because he was protecting the woman he loved?

More importantly, what could you say to him that would make any of it alright.

Bracing herself, Hikaru stepped into the garden.

And this is another one which was requested due to a meme on live journal. The prompt was Clef/Ferio friendship.

Implied Confession

"Stop fidgeting."

"I'm sorry. It's just that I'm nervous."

Clef adjusted the chains and catches on the ceremonial robes. If the prince didn't stop twitching as he tried to clasp the tiny hooks, they might not be in here all afternoon. The Ceremony was in less than an hour and he need to check in on Fuu to be sure that she was situated properly. "Relax. Take a deep breath."

"It's not just this. It's…." The prince trailed off. He didn't even have the words to describe his fears. Even if he did, he had no idea how to explain them to the mage.

"Don't focus on that. You and Fuu are going to pledge your lives to one another. That is all you need to worry about."

"But that is exactly what I am worried about."

The mage chuckled lightly. "Don't. Tonight is not going to be the best anyway, but if you worry too much you'll fumble all the more."

Ferio's head shot up. Did Clef just say what he though he said?

"You love her, and that is all that matters." He smiled at the prince. If only Ferio spent as much thought on the country, then they would have nothing to worry about.

If anyone has a short fiction request, feel free to ask. I can write little drabbles like this rather easily, of course. It is the pacing of a lenthy fic, I have difficulty keeping up with.
