A little primer. I have many excuses. For example, one is that this happened to be playing while I was writing.

Pairing/Characters: Just about everyone
Rating: At your own risk
You change your mind
Like an Ali changes wars
Yeah Allelujah, you, PMS
Like a bitch, Hallelujah would know
And Tieria over thinks
Never speaks cryptically
We already know
That we're no good as Meisters
'Cause Sumeragi's hot then she's out cold
You're 'yes sir' then you're 'no sir'
You're in then you're out of the cockpit
You're up then you're down from space
What is wrong, what is right
It's a Throne and it's a Gundam
Nations fight, nations break up
Louise, Saji, make up
(You) You don't really wanna stay, Lyle
(You) But you don't really wanna go-o
Sumeragi's hot then she's out cold
You're 'yes sir' then you're 'no sir'
You're in then you're out of the cockpit
You're up then you're down from space
We used to be
Just like twins, so in sync
The same energy
Now an overridden Veda
Graham used to laugh 'bout nothing
Now he's plain Bushido
We should know
That the costume's not gonna change
'Cause Sumeragi's hot then she's out cold
You're 'yes sir' then you're 'no sir'
You're in then you're out of the cockpit
You're up then you're down from space

'Cause Sumeragi's hot then she's out cold
You're 'yes sir' then you're 'no sir'
You're in then you're out of the cockpit
You're up then you're down from space
Someone call the doctor
Setsuna's got a case of Gundam mania
Stuck on a mobile armour
Can't get off this ride
You change your mind
Like an Ali changes wars
'Cause Sumeragi's hot then she's out cold
You're 'yes sir' then you're 'no sir'

Prompt: rings
A/N: Set in between S1 and S2
He'd worn it for so long that it's meaning had become blurred for him. Some days it was a joy, some days it was a weight. Some days he couldn't stop looking at it, some days he couldn't bear looking at it. He remembered the stories from three, four hundred years ago about a quest to destroy a magic ring worn around a chain. Except there is no magic now, only the green and red of GN particles, and he doesn't know if this waiting can be called a quest.
She keeps this golden ring, but also chooses to remember other rings.
On the grass outside their college, when they were still learning each other's names and gestures and habits.
"Ruuu..isu?" Saji's frowning a little in concentration, she thinks it's cute.
"Looouuise. You have to make to make the o and the u long and round. Like this." She forms a round ring with her thumb and index finger.
Walking along the streets, a bag full of candies in the shape of rings.
"Look, Saji, if we put them side by side, it's the symbol for infinity. Do you think we'll be together for that long?"
"Ah, I don't know." The little laugh he makes when he's awkward, embarrassed or lost for words. "Aaah, it's okay, you don't need to feed me - okay, okay, thank you."
She can remember these other rings because for her Saji and infinity are no longer a reality.

Pairing/Characters: Allelujah
Rating: G
Prompt: Flowers
A/N: Set some time before the start of S1
When he was in the Super Soldier Facility, they were made to run over many kinds of terrain. Paved roads, broken cities; ditches, fields flowers. It's to test their physical abilities - this was not so much said to them as marked down on numbered clipboards, it's to see if their quantum brain waves respond to any particular environmental stimuli - this not so much stated as felt in the electrodes attached to their bodies. This, repeated hour after hour, day after day to become endless. He became used to it. Paranoia set in for some. He could feel it as an agitation in the quantum brain waves they used and emitted. The paranoid ones wondered if there really were any results, or, if the stated purpose was the true purpose for this. Allelujah kept running. The numbers decreased. The agitation decreased.
There are flowers blooming in the valley he's travelling through, but he's in Kyrios now. He was picked up, given a purpose, put to use. He's a Meister now, so he's been told with nothing but words. Yet he's still a super soldier with quantum brain waves (and something more a voice that is his own but not, a voice he has come to know, reminds) that thinks of running when he sees flowers. It's...strange, coming to Celestial Being. Or rather, 'coming outside' for to him, the world is still divided by the walls of the Super Soldier Facility. He's beginning to realise what kind of distortion of nature and response is this.
Distortion and change and fight. Perhaps this is what it means to be both super soldier and Meister.

Pairing/Characters:Allelujah, Lockon
Rating: G
Prompt: Digging the past up with words
Out of all the Meisters, Allelujah thought he was the one with the least...attachments. Setsuna and Lockon had their pasts, Tieria his dedication to Veda and later to Lockon. While for Allelujah it is the silence of the Super Soldier Facility where muteness is obedience and then, the emptiness of space.
Perhaps he is only following the instinct for survival, the instinct against forming ties that cause pain when they break, when he says, "Don't get too involved".
Except now, amidst the clamour of battle, he realises that there is instinct and there is inevitability. There is attachment and there is loss.
"...it can't be."
They had talked once, he and Lockon, during one of their stopovers at the island.
"You must come from somewhere quite...distant, right, Allelujah?" Lockon was leaning back against the wall from the bench, the top half of his pilot suit undone.
"Quite distant."
True distance he understands now.

Prompt: Angsty Tieria being jealous at Soma. Christimas Time. Alle/Tieria and Soma sees it or something.
She was meant to see it. She wasn't meant to see it. Soma wasn't sure which was worse. She was meant to see it, she wasn't meant to see it.
She couldn't unsee it.
Tieria gripping Allelujah's arm and wrist in a way that was both constricting and tender. Soma was unexperienced in the ways of jealous lovers, unexperienced in the ways of lovers, otherwise she might have recognised it. Or perhaps even then she wouldn't have been able to. For theirs was a relationship constructed in space and land and water and sand, something both of and beyond the circumstantial. A relationship that Allelujah denied and Tieria evoked as he whispered "This is your price for leaving me". So Tieria's punishment began. But who was the more tortured? Allelujah cannot help but respond even as he tries to turn away in both body and mind, the whisper of "a last Christmas gift" that Tieria speaks into Allelujah's neck is more raw than the first and Soma is a frozen watcher as she learns of how and why Allelujah now is different from Allelujah then.

Rating: PG?
Prompt: Welcome Home
Even as he hears "welcome home", Allelujah thinks that it feels different to be onboard the Ptolemy - no, he reminds himself, it isn't the same Ptolemy. The people are different. A girl he doesn't recognise is present, Christina and Licht who he would recognise are absent. Setsuna is older, the angles of his face sharper, Lockon is Lyle but is not Lockon and he himself is different too. There is no longer that hint of a second awareness. His head feels lighter. Tieria is the same.
It is because of this that he goes to Tieria. He isn't even sure of Tieria's response. But he senses now, that although Tieria still looks as he did five years ago, that Tieria too has changed. He looks up when Allelujah enters his room and somehow reads something in him - Allelujah isn't even sure what, he isn't quite sure of what he is doing here - and moves over on the narrow bed so Allelujah can lie down beside him. They don't speak, for Tieria is quiet at times and Allelujah has become unused to speaking in incarceration. Instead, their hands run over each other, and in this they ask the questions: "Did you suffer?", Tieria's finger above Allelujah's left eye asks, and Allelujah leads Tieria's hands to the answer in the indents and scars along his back and wrists. "And you? What have you been doing?" Allelujah's chin on Tieria's shoulder asks. "Nothing much" is the answer Tieria's own smooth skin gives, but his eyes give the postscript of "thinking."
They fall asleep like this, entwined in each other and their stories, and Allelujah feels it - "welcome home".

Rating: G
Prompt: the reveal
Lockon is lying sprawled out on the floor, one eye closed out of choice, the other closed of lack of choice. He's talking about his family. His sister Amy, his brother Lyle. Their home in Ireland. Growing up. Mundane things.
"My father was quite a fanatic with stuff from the past. Historical technology and all that. So one day he decides to build us what he calls a 'treehouse'. It was pretty impossible. Not so much because he wasn't determined enough - my father never lacked determination - but because, well, there weren't any trees around where we lived that could hold a treehouse. It ended up being a floorhouse." His chest shakes a little when he laughs, the regular rise and fall of his breathing interrupted.
Tieria takes in everything about Lockon, observes everything. He is completely relaxed, trusting here. Tieria feels...proud, satisfied. Lockon here - he has already told him that his name is Neil, Neil Dylandy - is different from the Lockon, the Neil of Celestial Being. There's a faint smile on Lockon's face.
It's too difficult for Tieria to find words within himself to describe this. He inches closer, leans forward from the chair that he is sitting on. Lockon's head is near Tieria's feet. Tieria extends a hand, tentatively; Lockon grasps Tieria's fingertips, gently.
Lockon keeps talking. He is revealing everything. Inscribing his memories, remembrances, experiences into Tieria who is devoid of these, who is ready to receive. History transmitted.
