Memery!

[splinteredstar]

The first ten people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing / character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability. If you absolutely cannot write, I do not see why you would not be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.

So, anybody want a drabble?

But that means he's cheating on his briefcase!

[starsplinter.livejournal.com]

This is not as cracky as it could be. But it counts, in a vague sort of way. It is also longer than a drabble. But I am Not Good at concise.

(start)

Seto Kaiba has all he needs. He has his dragons, his company, and his brother. And he has his coat – his armor against the world. His coat is a bit stained at the edges, and there’s a seam or two that needs fixing, but he won’t replace it or let anyone else fix it. It is his, his protection against people who think he’s weak or easily threatened – and, for that matter, a bullet or two over the years.

It’s protected him, become a part of his identity and his life. It is one of the few constants in a life constantly racing to the next goal, the next mile marker away from who he used to be. He should probably throw it away, or at least change the style a bit. But it’s been loyal to him, and Kaiba respects loyalty.

His coat has done more for him than most people. It, he supposes, deserves a bit of care and something perhaps like affection. It’s taken care of him, so he’ll take care of it. Kaiba pays his debts.

(end)

I think that was about as far as I could go without it getting a bit crude. (and I'd really rather not) Does that satisfy your prompt, though?

He's been cheating on his briefcase with his duel disk also, don't you know? XD;

It satisfies the prompt, sure! ♥ One day, I totally want to write an all-out drabble of him senselessly screwing his trench coat. Because that would be kind of lulzy, like Mikami/pen. XD;;;;

Yes, and I was thinking that. But I started carrying the image out to it's logical conclusion and the psychological implications of it and all that stuff and I went, "Ick." (I always do that. It's why I'm no good at humor.) So I went this way instead.

It's okay. I enjoy the implications of cracky stuff like that, but it's not everyone's "cup of tea," per say.

Sometimes I do, but right now I'm not sure I could handle that kind of crack.

I love it! I love the image of his coat being like his armor... and really, if his coat is a bit stained and frayed at the edges, so is his armor so the metaphor worked that way too. And I liked the line about him racing to the next mile marker away from who he used to be. Actually I like each line in this, singly and together (lol)

Is it bad though, that knowing that this is a pairing prompt, immediately upon reading that the coat has stains on it, my mind immediately went to a very bad place? (Hangs head in shame.)

Anyway, really, really good. I like how much characterization you packed into something this short.

Re: But that means he's cheating on his briefcase!

Yes, I was thinking that... *shrug* Ah well.

If you want a drabble, just comment and toss a request at me. I'm perfectly wiling to write some Yami/Kaiba for you...or Kaiba bondage of any sort.

How could anyone resist Yami/bondage!Kaiba?

Thanks!

I'm willing to take a shot at anything Yugioh if you have a request.

Oh Kaiba, you're in such denial...

[starsplinter.livejournal.com]

(start)


It wasn't real for Kaiba. Yami liked chains, and liked seeing Kaiba in them, so he put up with it. He didn't do it because he wanted it, and if he sometimes asked it - hesitant, biting his lips as he pushed his pride out of the way - was only because he knew Yami enjoyed it. Just because he was on his knees didn't mean he was surrendering, and just because he was tied up didn't mean he was powerless.

He took a deep breath, and relaxed his body as Yami looped final chain around his wrists one more time and attached the end to the collar at his neck. He was almost painfully hard, but that was anticipation and nothing more, just a reaction to Yami's pleasure. He couldn't move, but he could pick the lock and escape if he had to, so it was still okay. He wasn't helpless, and it wasn't really giving in. Not really.

Yami kissed him, running his hands over his body and testing the chains a bit. Kaiba relaxed, just slightly - only just, only just - and sighed. It wasn't really surrender, but even if it were... Perhaps, with Yami, it would be okay. Maybe. But it wasn't real, so that didn't matter.

Then Yami touched him and kissed his breath away, and Kaiba stopped thinking for the night.

(done)

And since we've been talking about it a bit - how about Yami no Bakura/Kaiba?

Absolutely awesome! I love the line: Just because he was on his knees didn't mean he was surrendering, and just because he was tied up didn't mean he was powerless. because nobody but Kaiba could be that astute and that clueless. I really liked how he returns again and again to the fact that he could escape, which masks the fact that he doesn’t want to.

Re: Oh Kaiba, you're in such denial...

[nenya85.livejournal.com]

Have not forgotten Yami no Bakura/Kaiba. Have I mentioned before that I write slowly and that life is hectic?

I had a question though, being perennially unsure of netiquette (okay, I also wanted an excuse to write "netiquette"). Anyway, when I post my drabble with a glandualr condition, would it be okay to link back to here to share the bondage!KAiba love? (I almost said, to spread the bondage!Kaiba love, but that just sounded wrong!)

Re: Oh Kaiba, you're in such denial...

[starsplinter.livejournal.com]

Na, you're okay. Take your time, of course. You're being eaten by life - I have no desire to make it more complicated.

And that would be fine, if you really want to. *shrug* God knows I've tossed your fics at enough people.
