Stole this meme gleefully away from miawinner, considering that I have been sort of hit like mad upside the head with writing-urges and practice is good. Practice with an audience is better.

The first five people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing (of course this means I must know the ( Read more... )

Usually Hetalia warnings apply: Messin' about with character ideas, a touch of history, and does not reflect the writer's feelings about culture and so on and so forth. War is terrible, people are terrible, and there are no winners in war ( ... )

No, the United Kingdom would never let the Germanic Brothers unite ever again. Even alone, Germany still held too much potential, and England could feel his lungs constrict with the brief and irrational fear that Germany would suddenly break free.

“Italy will retain his sovereignty in accordance to our agreements,” England said, his tone light but his hands tight at his back.

Germany went still, back pole straight. England allowed himself a small smile. “They were wise to capitulate when they did.”

He watched Germany, very carefully, swallow whatever words had come to mind, and felt a cold knot of satisfaction tighten in his stomach.

“It is over, Germany. You are ours.”

“Why are you telling me this? I was there for the signing of the papers. I have seen the treaties. You have not answered me,” Germany said, each word precisely couched in as neutral an English accent he could manage, “What will you do to my people. Why are you hereEngland returned that angry stare until he could, just barely, see the briefest flicker of worry ( ... )

Hopefully you'll get a kick out of this--considering some things in the story, I don't think this could have ever happened, but I could not resist throwing our favourite yoriki duo into the arms of one of my favourite figures from shintoism ( ... )

Yuki pounded her fists against the damp stone and only received bruises for her efforts. Her voice had gone raw from first calm, then frustrated, and then terrified screaming. No voices could reach her this far down the tunnel, even if anyone was there on the other side. She could easily picture Kinu’s frantic face, the gentle lines of age emphasizing the tight way she was keeping herself calm, while she shouted at the entire Hakusan Shrine complex to get some damn shovels over here, right now ( ... )

Time passed. Underground there was nothing but the glow of her watch to go by, and Yuki forgot to check it often. Minutes turned into half-hours, then hours, and she stopped looking at it after a while to keep her panic in check. The tunnel never branched, only kept sloping downward without a single dip or rise in the angle. If she’d had any doubts that the tunnel had supernatural origins, she had lost them by now. Sometimes cracks in hillsides were just earthquakes ( ... )

The Price of Failure (1/4) gryfeathr February 18 2010, 02:39:51 UTC
You asked, my dear, and I can only try to provide <3

Hopefully this hits what you were asking for. Man, it's been so long since I last messed about with these guys! The MaSho are one of my favourite things, I am so delighted to have a reason to attempt writing them!

They had failed.

Lord Arago was not pleased. Oh, he was not pleased at all.

“You bumbling fools!” his deep voice boomed, the projection of his spirit wavering with his anger in the thin light of the candles. They flickered with temptous winds stirred to life by Lord Arago’s displeasure, sending the shadows into wild convulsions. “Yet again you have allowed the five yoroi to slip from our grasps. How do you explain your failures?”

“Please, Lord Arago, be kind to my fellow Masho,” spoke up Anubis, his mouth sly as he pressed a hand to his shoulder and deeply bowed in his dark blue under-armor. “They could not help their failure. Of course, if I had been put in charge of the plan, we would most certainly have the yoroi in our grasp ( ... )

“Brown noser,” announced Shuten during arm’s practice, lifting up his chin and spitting the word with his usual airs.

“I merely wish to please our Lord,” Rajura deigned to reply as they watched Naaza cackle while tearing half a platoon apart. The spirit soldiers were easily reconstructed, and made for excellent moving targets.

“Please spare me your attempts at false modesty,” Anubis said, his arms crossed over the heavy plating of his body armor. “You couldn’t be more pleased with yourself if a cat had just walked out of a bird sanctuary with a dozen different colored feathers sticking out of his mouth.”

“I did nothing,” Rajura reminded him, and could not help adding, “But then, I did not have to. The two of you did a remarkable job of doing yourselves in without my help.”

“You sneaking, underhanded, spitting excuse for a house spider-“ hissed Shuten, a hand reaching in warning for the kusari-gama at his waist ( ... )

Naaza strolled over to observe the two generals on their knees struggling for breath. “It seems I overdid it a little.”

“Overdid it my ass, you snake, you did that on purpose!” Anubis managed, his voice strangled.

“Don’t just stand there, give us the damn anti-hhhhhk-antidote!” Rajura added, tears running down his face.

Naaza considered them, a sharp smile pulling his mouth up at one side as he hooked his helmet and dragged it off his head. His dark hair stuck up in every direction, his high forehead glossy with sweat. “What’s in it for me?”

“I’m going to cut you in half-“ Anubis struggled up to his feet, groping blindly for his sword over his shoulders ( ... )
