I suddenly realized I hadn't posted any fic in May, so here, have a quick strict-form drabble in the Leaf and Letter AU.

Note: This fic was written in response to the prompt no, when i said i wanted you to help clean the house i did NOT mean you should do it wearing only, exclusively stockings, you insolent FOOL from [tumblr.com profile] snogfairy's wholesome domestic prompts list.

The Letter of the Law
---------------------------------------------

"Beloved, I'm sure you have a pseudo-logical explanation involving an attempt to keep your clothes from accidental destruction at the hands of assorted chemical concoctions, but that," said Rose, "is not an appropriate house-cleaning outfit."

Jade glanced down at her sports bra, boy shorts, and red-and-white striped knee-high socks, and shrugged. "Okay. I'll fix it." She set down the sponge and bucket and began unhooking her bra.

"That's not what I meant!"

Jade waggled her eyebrows. "Be more specific next time, then," she said, and stripped off the boy shorts too.

Rose sprayed her with the kitchen sink's hose attachment.

End of Ficlet

Roll for Seduction )

I am not entirely sure why puns ended up being the running theme of this ficlet, but whatever. Also, as you can probably tell this was intended as an actual New Year's fic. I didn't get it done in time (alas!) but late is better than never. :)

For the curious, here is a link to Jade's apron, though I think hers is probably light blue.

[tumblr.com profile] gracefularchitect said: Characters: Rose, Jade, Word: Favourite, Scenario: 'Rose & Jade have very different ideas on favourite food. They try to find something of mutual delight.' Oh, forgot to add: Could be in the same universe as Leaf & Letter, but it's so general it doesn't matter x)

Note: This wound up somewhat diagonal to the prompt and took an unexpected detour through angst on its way to the mostly happy ending. Oops? As per the secondary part of the prompt, this is another installment of the Leaf and Letter AU, wherein Rose is an author and Jade owns a plant shop. It falls between the two [2,450 words]

(Content note: Rose talks about her mother's alcoholism and its effects on her childhood.)

Who Contract the Habit of Eating )

Random fact: it is actually true that Kraft stopped using artificial colors and flavors in their mac and cheese. I know this because articles about that fill most of the first page of Google results when you look up 'kraft mac and cheese' in an attempt to check what is actually printed on the blue boxes (which I then ended up not describing at all in the ficlet at all, because that's how my life works).

Another random fact: I had instant Kraft mac and cheese for dinner tonight. One little-mentioned hazard of writing is that occasionally one incepts oneself with some really annoying and/or ridiculous cravings. *headdesk*

Okay so.

I am stuck like a stuck thing on "Guardian" ch. 17 scene 3 (not because I don't know what comes next; I just... can't make the words happen). I can't manage to focus on "The Courting Dance" instead (because guilt? tone mismatch? who even knows; brains are weird), and when I try to avoid the issue and write something completely unrelated, I just kind of blank out, like those two fics are gnawing away all the processing power that would normally go to the part of my brain that comes up with new ideas and/or picks an old idea and says 'your time in the sun has come, small plotbunny!'

I think you see where I am going with this, yes? Yes. It is once again mini-ficlet prompt meme time, because when I can't jumpstart my own creativity, I beg other people to do it for me. (Because it works. Why? Who knows. See above in re: brains being weird.)

The caveat this time is that I want to write fluff!

Here is a link to my open Cotton Candy Bingo card, which still has sixteen unfilled squares. For those who prefer lists to graphics, the open prompts are: picnic, soft, sleepwalking/sleeptalking, tradition, the little things, names/naming, WILD CARD, eyes, favorite, adventure/quest, color, open, cute, cuddle, free, sunrise/sunset.

Leave a comment with one to four characters, a prompt word from the list, and a scenario, and I will write you a ficlet of at least 500 words. Scenarios must be fluffy!

(...Look, I know my definition of fluff can get pretty idiosyncratic. But work with me here, okay? If the characters end the ficlet on a happy note, we're good.)

Anyway, if you have ever wanted a sequel to one of my oneshots, or another installment in any of my series/AUs, this is your chance to make me write it for you. :)

[Obligatory small print: Crossover prompts are fine! I reserve the right to reject fandoms I am not familiar with and produce ambiguous gen when attempting to write shipfic. Also, if someone else has previously claimed your requested prompt word, I will tell you so and offer you a chance to make a new prompt.]
