Here is the post where the requests were given.
It took me a good month, but I managed to finish all of these!
Fullmetal Alchemist
Ed/Winry: “Bad News” by Kanye West (Requested by: evil_little_dog)
Winry hated to think about him. Them. No matter how much she tried to forget how her heart skipped when his name was mentioned, she had to walk forward, away from it.
He was gone. Where? She didn’t know. The gossip suffocated her. Was he dead? Was his brother dead, also? How could they leave her alone? Didn’t they think of the well being of anyone but themselves?
She wanted to scream, pull her hair out, tell them they’re all wrong. How could they know? How would they even hope to understand? All she could do was move forward, keeping a small spark of hope alive in her heart.
Roy/Riza: “Movies” by Alien Ant Farm (Requested by: cornerofmadness)
Everyone had expected them to get together second the Promised Day came and went. They didn’t. Their time had been cut short.
Roy still agonized over the thought of almost losing himself, his eyesight, her. He was a busy man, regardless.
Riza wondered with awe how they made it out alive. She had attempted to pick up the pieces of her life, try to pick up where she had last stopped living for herself. Her hair had been chopped off, a weight off her shoulders.
In the years she roamed the Earth, she had obeyed someone of a higher power: her father, the military, Roy… the Fuhrer (past and present). Taking a leave of absence, only a month, was enough to give her a new outlook on life.
Roy hardly contacted her, caught up in his own hardships. That didn’t mean he thought about her any less.
When they saw each other, squelched hope blazed with renewed vigor. She smelled the same, that same shampoo filling his senses; he noticed when he finally held her close. They would get their ending, without worry. They had earned it.
Olivier Armstrong & Buccaneer: “Laughing With” by Regina Spektor (Requested by: strandedthought)
Life was never truly fair, Olivier mused to herself a day long after that of the Promised. Looking down at a picture that had been taken of her crew to commemorate a grand party-which came far and few in between-in Briggs.
After taking the longest bubble bath known to man, the Major General, formerly known as the Ice Queen, reflected. She reflected on those she trusted most and those who were lost. In this case, it was the same person that floated to the front of her mind.
God, whoever that was, whoever believed in him or her, was laughing down at her. She worked harder than many human beings wasting away their lives with stupor. She decided she would laugh back, holding her head high, choosing to pay tribute to a man, especially one man, who deserved to be laughing the loudest in the face of his maker.
Fairy Tail
Juvia/Gray: “Breakable” by Ingrid Michaelson (Requested by: kimba616)
She watched him from across the busy hall from the bar. Mirajane was humming a soft tune that only seemed to fuel her thoughts of longing for the ice mage. Though, really, what didn’t fuel her devotion? It blazed as bright as Natsu’s flames; if only they could be frozen to bestowed upon Gray, to show her love in a tangible form that made sense.
Juvia felt restless and vulnerable whenever she was close to Gray. He had been nicer to her lately, which made her heart soar. Now that he was opening up to her more and more, little by little, she slid her heart down her sleeve so far that it was on the tip of her finger. She held it up for the world to witness, for Gray to accept.
She had crept closer, sliding behind the large weight-baring poles that held their guild, to watch. Juvia stayed at a safe distance, not wanting to disturb Gray’s conversation, lest he get angry and banish her completely. Her eyes widened, finally, when she noticed a small gesture from the mage. He patted the seat next to himself, casting a glance her way. Oh no, he was doing it again. She sat next to him, and in the next instant she noticed his lack of clothing, which hadn’t been so before she walked over. He chuckled, a blush creeping across his cheeks as he put his clothes back on; he ignored the jests of Natsu and Happy. Was he… bashful, this Gray? Around her? Hope fluttered in her chest. She touched his shoulder with a small smile, hoping the love in her touch transferred successfully.
Gray: “Give Me a Sign” by Breaking Benjamin (Requested by: miss_melon12)
He refused to think about his childhood. Fairy Tail helped distract him from his memories, of his training, his former teacher. He only focused on getting better, becoming stronger than the shadow of his former self. Gray couldn’t help but be scarred from the past. He had learned new values, new reasons of living. His parents, gone, his teacher, gone, his friends… his nakama… they would stay with him. It took a long time for Gray to convince himself of this fact, with many a urging-of fists-by Natsu, but he knew that his friends would be with him until the very end. If they were going to go down, they would all go down together, for better or for worse. The lights may fade, plunging him into the darkness of depression, but he always had the light of his nakama to pull him out.
Lucy/Gray: “Against All Odds” by Genesis (Requested by: emsscraps)
“Rivals in love.” That statement usually made Lucy laugh, when Juvia assumed and accused her of trying to take her beloved Gray away from her. As much as she tried to keep it from happening, her accusations wound up coming true. Natsu, ever the unresponsive friend when it came to her emotions, didn’t even notice this tryst happening right under his nose.
Gray had been tired one night, too tired it seemed, and had collapsed onto her bed. She didn’t push him away in the middle of the night, no matter how loudly her mind was screaming at her to. He wasn’t physically tired, only mentally exhausted.
The whole ordeal spun dangerously out of control after a few weeks’ time. Lucy had to end things, not able to handle the heartbreak of looking others in the eyes and lying point-blank. Gray wanted to make things public, tried to-but ultimately chickened out when it came time to speak. They had to move on, alongside one another and yet far apart.
Sailor Moon
Hino Rei: “Fire Bomb” by Rihanna (Requested by: coutureable)
It wasn’t a secret that Hino Rei was a jealous person. She was a fiery and passionate person, quick to anger with a short fused temper. These were facts. You didn’t need to know her long in order to make these assumptions. What you had to learn, to warm up to the girl, was that she was a person you needed on your side, loyal and dependable until her last breath. These things, in this situation, only mattered in covering up her emotions.
Despite knowing how the future was meant to pan out, she couldn’t help but be jealous of Usagi’s love. Whenever she saw her and Mamoru together, even if they weren’t the most touchy-feely couple in front of friends, it still tore her up. Tore her up in the way of realization that she would never have a destined love as strong as theirs, that there was no one in the universe that was being pulled to her by that fated red string.
She didn’t want to burn alone, but she knew she would go down in flames. They needed to get out of her path before they went down with her.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Asuka/Shinji: “Grow a Pear” by Ke$ha (Requested by: individual)
Some days Asuka wanted Shinji to open his eyes and see what was waiting for him on a silver platter. Some days she wanted to kick him in the balls so hard to just make them retract into his body in order to complete his transformation into being a spineless woman. When they argued, she believed there was some spark between them. He wasn’t bad looking, by her standards, and he came through when people were depending on him. Plus, he wasn’t a half-bad cook. She figured all he’d do in bed would be to lay back and take it like a bitch, but… she couldn’t help but wonder.
Just when she was about to proposition, “I’m bored… wanna fuck?” he had to whine about something absolutely pointless: Ayanami.
Back to square one, Ikari. Come back when you grow a pair.
Ao no Exorcist
Rin/Shiemi: “Catch Me If You Can” by Angela Vía (Requested by: anitheanimaniac)
Their date, if he would be allowed to call it one, was thrilling to say the least. Alone with Shiemi was a glorious perk in itself, watching her bounce-uh, run-around in a cute, low-cut dress, pointing at ride after ride at the amusement park he had brought her to. This was perfect. No demons to distract them, no friends to unnecessarily butt in and ruin their moment in the sun… absolutely perfect.
“Rin! Let’s go! There’s no line and they’re about to shut the gate!” Shiemi called, waving him to follow her. How did she get ahead of him?
Not needing to be told twice, he gained on her with a quick sprint, grabbed her by the hand, and pulled them towards the ride.
Nana to Kaoru
Nana/Kaoru: “Zero to Hero” from Hercules (Disney) (Requested by: plasmoids)
Zero to hero. At school, he was a zero. He knew nothing, cared little, and tried to hide in the shadows. Home, close to Nana, he was a hero. He knew his act well, trained and learned new techniques for breathers. Here, home, he was a hero; he felt like a hero, a guy who had a grasp on the rope tied tightly around the arms and legs of his beloved M. The need in her eyes held him in the present like a lifeline.
Nana was used to having everyone want her, fawn over her, need her; of course, they didn’t need her in the same way he needed her. What Kaoru wasn’t aware of? Among the shyness, the whimpering and the hesitation, she needed him a lot more than she let on. Her act was wearing thin, she allowed herself to get lost too often and became jealous of anyone dared step in her way. Their roles were completely reversed, but with good reason. They, together, were different sides of the same coin. They balanced each other, no matter the setting. Zero, hero. S, M. Nana, Kaoru.
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt
Panty/Brief: ”Perfume and Promises” by Idina Menzel (Requested by: shannon_07)
Panty was tired. Tired of doing the same things, making the same mistakes. Despite admitting defeat by acknowledging a weakness, she couldn’t help but make those same mistakes over and over.
Brief saw her tired eyes when she collapsed into bed with him, drunk out of her mind. Panty and Stocking going out to clubs, drinking themselves stupid… these weren’t new habits. New habits included coming home to him, visiting him when bored, kissing him. He didn’t care for clubs, opting to stay home playing video games. Panty didn’t care for video games-only a few could capture her interest. They chose to go their own separate ways when it came to entertainment. However, when the end of the night rolled around, she would crawl into his bed and even deeper into his heart. His nose was filled with her perfume, or just the smell of her-he wasn’t sure. This unspoken promise of being together was what held them there. Together.
Kimi ni Todoke
Sawako/Kazehaya: Listen to Your Heart (Slow) by DHT (Requested by: angelchan_2004)
Everyone’s opinions were so loud in her head, clouding her judgment, altering her true feelings. Breaking free was so hard, but she couldn’t go into this with eyes closed. She had no idea how she was feeling, how she should react…
“Listen to your heart, Sawako.”
She had been told that, hadn’t she? Chizu, maybe? Chizu had been there… in love. She needed to listen to her instincts, what she was feeling. What was she actually feeling for Kazehaya? Love? She respected him so much… to the point where his face wouldn’t leave her mind. When she was near him, she grew flustered and unable to speak. She thought of all of the words she needed to say when they were apart, thought of all of the conversations they could have. K-K-Kiss? There were those fantasies. She would have to listen to her heart; she hoped he would listen, too, because she couldn’t trust the right words to come out.
