Drabbles 5... [10 Feb 2008|06:37pm] Title: 100-Word FF7 Drabbles Part 5 Rating: PG to NC17 Genre: General, Yaoi Pairing: Mostly Reno/Rufus, one Reno/Cloud and, one misc. Characters: Reno, Rufus, Cloud, Reeve Disclaimer: FF7 is owned by SquareEnix. I'm not making a profit with this writing. Summary: Here's the fifth and final set in my FF7 drabble project. For more details about this project, please see this post. 33. tongue Suspended underwater, the Shinra heir was holding Reno down, staring at him through the clear water. Sometimes they played dangerous games, often testing the other’s ability to survive each challenge. This time, Rufus was intent on exploring a different kind of excitement: a unique brand of teasing. Reno felt Rufus press his warm tongue against his submerged chest, moving gradually downward until he stopped at the waistband of Reno’s trunks. Reno kicked, swimming upward, lifting himself to the surface to draw a long satisfying breath. Rufus followed, emerging a second later, with raw lust and glistening mischief in his eyes. 50. pleading Cloud could see his bike in the distance, a vague reminder that he and Reno had been on their way to Edge before their emergency stop. Reno’s “emergency” hadn’t been urgent, just a cute ruse to get Cloud to pull over. Not that Cloud would have protested if Reno had just been direct about his lustful desires. “You’re so easy,” Reno said. Reno leered playfully and lifted Cloud’s naked legs up into the air, thrilling him skillfully by simply hesitating. Gasping and very turned on, Cloud couldn’t keep the pleading tone out of his shaking voice. “Please… fuck me, Reno…” 40. possession “Mine...” Rufus opened his eyes at the sound of a hushed familiar voice. Warm arms wrapped around him gently; he could tell that Reno was trying not to wake him. It felt late. He squinted at the clock, unsure if it was worth the effort it would take to find out what time it was. He wasn’t certain he really wanted to be that awake. Reno’s nose was cold, and cuddling up against him seeking warmth. Rufus sighed affectionately, deciding to rouse himself from his relaxed slumber. “Yes… yours,” Rufus whispered, turning over to seek Reno’s lips in the darkness. 44. yearn Rain pounded the sidewalk outside Cloud’s bedroom window. The repetitive patter made him feel sedated, despite the mounting sense of dread he was feeling. It had been raining for a few days, and business had been slow. The only delivery he had in his queue sat on his desk; a small box addressed to Rufus Shinra that piqued his curiosity and tempted him with thoughts of the unknown. Normally he didn’t bother to wonder what his clients had him transport, but this package was different, important. “Damn it, Reeve,” Cloud muttered under his breath, yearning to know what was inside. 12. finale The fireworks display was breathtaking. Each explosion lit up the night sky with brilliant sparkling light that fanned out and rained spectacularly above them. Reno stood by Rufus Shinra’s side, trying not to become too distracted. He was on guard duty and responsible for Rufus’ safety. The cannons quieted, and thousands of voices murmured, unsure what they were waiting for. Then all at once, thunder sounded as the launchers fired one after another, signaling the start of the grand finale. Reno felt Rufus’ hand creep slowly up to touch his and he squeezed gently. This was right where he belonged. A/N: Thanks for reading. Comments welcome. ^^ This concludes my project (and yes, I'm very amused the random number generator gave me "finale" as a last word in the set). I'm not sure what I'll be doing with the rest of the wordlist just yet. Stay tuned. ^^ 4 comments|post comment

Drabbles 4... [03 Feb 2008|07:50pm] Title: 100-Word FF7 Drabbles Part 4 Rating: PG to R Genre: General, Yaoi Pairing: Some Reno/Rufus, most without pairings. Characters: Reno, Rufus, Tseng, Rude Disclaimer: FF7 is owned by SquareEnix. I'm not making a profit with this writing. Summary: Here's the fourth set in my FF7 drabble project. For more details about what I'm doing exactly, please see this post. 46. bounce Reno always had a little spring in his step, a playful bounce that hinted at the extra energy he kept in reserve. From his private balcony, Rufus watched Reno move with purpose across the dance floor below. The red-head was mixing with beautiful strangers and clearly enjoying himself. Rufus’ jaw clenched with a pang of jealousy. Reno was immune to all of the unfair rules that Rufus had to follow. Fuck the rules, Rufus thought, idly wondering if there were any paparazzi in the crowd. He supposed he’d find out when he read the front page of the morning paper. 54. prepared Tedious weeks of surveillance had led up to this moment. All he had to do was wait just a few minutes more, and all of his preparation would yield a pleasure so intense, so satisfying; it would all be worthwhile. “Hey,” Reno said, casually passing Tseng in the hallway. Tseng nodded with disinterest, not meeting his gaze. Reno slowed his walk gradually, as he heard the elevator ping in the distance. Slipping into Tseng’s office, he sat down at the desk, unwrapped his deli sandwich, and took a messy bite. He couldn’t wait to hear Tseng bitch about the crumbs. 56. pound “It’s a gift,” Reno said. Rufus stared at the large box in Reno’s hands, unable to comprehend why the red-head would give him a present. It’s not like they ever celebrated the holidays. “C’mon, please take it.” Not having a good reason to refuse, he gave in, reluctantly taking the box from his eager Turk. Rufus untied the bright red bow and cautiously lifted the lid. His icy eyes widened in disbelief, as the little black creature tangled up in tissue paper made a timid mewling sound at him. “Reno, what the—“ “It was you or the pound, yo.” 48. breathless “Reno, breathe,” Rude said. Words were flooding out of the red-head’s mouth, but Rude couldn’t understand anything he was saying. Reno wasn’t normally prone to panic; in fact, he’d only ever seen his partner like this once before, during the Diamond Weapon incident. “Rufus… he,” Reno said, still not speaking coherently. “Oh, god… he’s…” “Focus, dammit,” Rude said, gritting his teeth. He grabbed Reno’s shoulders, shaking him gently. “Call a medic,” Reno finally gasped. Rude released his hold and flipped open his cell phone, speed-dialing emergency services. The details could wait until he had a live person on the line. 05. fondue Reno stood next to the banquet table, looking at the hors d’oeuvres. Rufus warned him not to touch anything, but when he saw the fondue, he couldn’t help himself. He poked his finger into the melted chocolate, then into his mouth, enjoying the blissful taste sensation that assaulted his tongue. “My turn…” Rufus pressed up against him from behind, one hand slipping down to unbutton Reno’s pants, the other guiding the Turk’s saliva-slicked finger back into the chocolate. Rufus devoured Reno’s finger, sucking and licking with fervent attention, teasing him with the silent promise of what the future might hold. A/N: Thanks for reading.

Drabbles 3... [26 Jan 2008|02:16pm] Title: 100-Word FF7 Drabbles Part 3 Rating: PG to R Genre: General, Yaoi Pairing: Some Reno/Rufus, most without pairings. Characters: Reno, Rufus, Tseng Disclaimer: FF7 is owned by SquareEnix. I'm not making a profit with this writing. Summary: Here's the second five in my FF7 drabble project. For more details about what I'm doing exactly, please see this post. 57. stolen Just don’t look. He’s probably staring right at you right now. That blonde. The one with the crazy expensive looking suit, who looks like he’s got you pegged. The one that’s getting ready to ask you how a slum brat like you got into this party. Just don’t fucking look. Shit, he’s coming over. I knew I shouldn’t have stolen that damn glance. He’s smiling at me kinda weird. I hope that’s a good thing. “I don’t believe we’ve met,” Rufus says. “Nope… no,” Reno says. Now just stay calm and cool, or all this effort is gonna be wasted. 61. legato Rufus padded down the hallway, his little sock feet making no sound as they raced across the polished marble floor. The soothing legato that had lured him to the study was now loud enough that he could identify the instrument being played: a violin. His father had strictly forbidden anyone to touch the antique instrument that was kept under lock and key. Rufus had been told that it made the most beautiful sounds when played. Keeping it sealed away seemed like such a waste. He peeked around the edge of the doorjamb curiously. “Tseng?” Rufus said, whispering in hushed wonder. 17. obliteration “Leave no trace,” Rufus said. Tseng watched the president, his expression serious and respectful, pausing to make sure that was indeed Rufus’ final word. Rufus simply nodded, giving Tseng the reassurance he sought. He pressed a button on his phone and authorized the clearance that the field Turks were waiting for. “Proceed.” One word was all that was needed; Reno and Rude would carry out the orders without question. He was hopeful that they wouldn’t get themselves killed. As the explosion echoed in the distance, Tseng and Rufus exchanged tense glances. Tseng gripped his phone, waiting to hear good news. 20. brainwashing Reno peered up at the giant red banner hanging from the Junon ramparts, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. Rufus’ name was at least three stories tall and printed across the cloth in bold black letters. “What’s it say in the corner? ‘New Age’?” Rufus nodded, straightening his suit. “What, don’t you like it?” “Well,” Reno paused. “I like it, I just don’t believe it.” “It doesn’t matter if you believe it,” Rufus said, sighing. He lowered his tone and spoke directly into Reno’s ear. “The public will.” “You can’t brainwash people that easily,” Reno said with a dangerous laugh. “Watch me.” 49. beloved Rufus slid the tips of his index and middle fingers across the gentle curve of Reno’s brow, pleased when his sleeping lover sighed in his sleep and turned to nuzzle Rufus’ hand with his cheek. A feeling of contentment washed over Rufus, his sparkling blue eyes absorbing every last detail as Reno drew peaceful breaths through his nose and mouth. He stroked Reno’s cheek, careful not to wake him. If only there was a way to tell the Turk just how much he cared, without letting himself be so vulnerable. He would just have to hope that Reno already knew. A/N: Thanks for reading. Comments welcome. ^^ 15 down, about 10 more to go. 5 comments|post comment

Drabbles... [18 Jan 2008|09:36pm] Title: 100-Word FF7 Drabbles Part 2 Rating: PG to NC17 Genre: Yaoi, General Pairing: Some Reno/Rufus, some without pairings. Characters: Reno, Rufus, Cloud, Aerith, Elena, Rude Disclaimer: FF7 is owned by SquareEnix. I'm not making a profit with this writing. Summary: Here's the second five in my FF7 drabble project. For more details about what I'm doing exactly, please see this post. 64. princess Her laughter was musical and comforting, even though he’d never been more embarrassed in his life. The blue dress he wore wasn’t so horrible, nor was the blond wig with the braided pigtails. The most humiliating aspect of his disguise was definitely the diamond-studded tiara. "Do I have to wear this?" Cloud said, pointing at the shiny headpiece. "If you want to look pretty, you do," Aerith said, suppressing a giggle. "With that on, you look like a cute little princess." Cloud blushed and didn’t respond. Only Aerith could say something like that to him and get away with it. 34. bitten Reno’s warm breath caressed Rufus' skin. Each deliberate kiss the red-head delivered sent chills racing down his spine. The young vice-president closed his eyes, wishing this moment could last forever. Weeks had passed since the last time they were together. Though he wouldn’t admit it out loud, Rufus had missed his lover. Reno opened his mouth, scraping his teeth against Rufus' throat, lingering deliciously. Rufus grunted, both surprised and excited as the Turk unexpectedly bit down on him, fighting to control his reaction. "Like that?" "As if you didn’t know," Rufus said breathlessly, hoping the red-head would do it again. 35. hard "Why does everything have to be so hard?" Elena said, completely frustrated with the code she was trying to crack. "I’ve been plugging these stupid numbers into this annoying chart for three hours now, and I still can’t find a damn pattern." She was met with silence from the other Turks. Reno was covering his mouth with his hand, trying pointedly not to say anything. Elena glared at him and took the bait. "What?" "You said 'hard'," Reno said, barely able to get the words out of his mouth, before breaking into hysterical laughter. Rude just shrugged helplessly and grinned. 43. slide "It's solid ice, Ru," Reno said, grabbing Rufus' arm before the president could take a step outside the front door of his apartment building. The Turk released his grip when he realized that Rufus was looking at him with disapproval. "I don’t need an escort to get the mail," Rufus said. "Sorry, boss," Reno said, trying to wipe the concern off his face. "I just didn’t want you to slide—" Rufus convulsed suddenly and Reno was quick to wrap his arms around him; the tremor was probably another geostigma attack. Reno hugged Rufus tight, hoping it would pass quickly. 04. euphoria Agile fingers caressed Rufus' waist and hips, supporting him from behind. Reno was buried deep inside him, deftly pressing their bodies together. Tireless and perceptive, the red-head always knew what Rufus wanted him to do without having to be told, and this moment was no different than any other. As Reno steadily increased their pace, a soundless gasp escaped Rufus' lips and he let go, unable to stall the building sensations pulsing through him. Nothing in the world felt better than the intense pleasure he was experiencing, nor was there anyone in the world that he loved more than Reno. A/N: Thanks for reading. Comments welcome. ^^ More in about a week or so. 7 comments|post comment

Drabbles... [08 Jan 2008|09:04pm] Title: 100-Word FF7 Drabbles Part 1 Rating: PG13 to NC17 Genre: Yaoi, General Pairing: Some Reno/Rufus, some without pairings. Disclaimer: FF7 is owned by SquareEnix. I'm not making a profit with this writing. Summary: Here's the first five in my FF7 drabble project. For more details about what I'm doing exactly, please see this post. 13. asphyxiation It was his pride that hurt the most. The physical pain was long gone, but the telltale fading red marks around Rufus’ neck and the cough he couldn’t suppress were both still there mocking him with a truth he couldn’t avoid: He wasn’t in control of his own destiny… yet. He’d be damned before giving the man the satisfaction of knowing how deeply he’d been affected. Rufus looked forward to the moment when he could finally let his father know how much he hated him. With any luck, that would also be the moment just before his old man died. 02. absolution Thin agile fingers grasped desperately at the pristine white suit Rufus Shinra wore. Reno’s remorseful face was uncharacteristically streaked with tears. For once, words didn’t flow easily from his mouth. "How was I s’posed to know," Reno said haltingly, "you felt that way?" His voice lacked the playful tone Rufus earnestly missed. Rufus maintained his composure, making eye contact with the red-head. With a word, he could break Reno, and then all of this awkwardness would be over. He just had to decide if that’s really what he wanted. "You never said—" Rufus shushed him quietly. "I forgive you." 41. seduction He danced with her and managed to look like he was enjoying himself, despite hating every minute of it. The lies that he told sickened him, although it wasn’t the actual lying that upset him; the patronizing tone that she favored threatened to drive him insane. He’d told her how elegant she looked in her expensive designer dress, how savvy her father had been with his latest business venture, and even led her to believe that he might end up in her bed that evening. Rufus smirked. She was completely under his spell, and that was his cue to exit. 53. surrender Rufus peered at his reflection in the mirror, unfastening the last button on his long vest. Distracted, he shrugged the white garment off and pulled his black turtleneck up over his head. He took a deep breath, eyeing the closed bathroom door. He was in there, freshening up, making himself clean and presentable. Rufus knew that Reno was expecting to be fucked, but he was certain the red-head wasn’t ready for what Rufus had in mind. Rufus wanted Reno inside him more than words could express. The surrender of his body would send a clear message; this was becoming serious. 21. juggle "Hey, Rude," Reno said. "Check me out." "Not now," came the grunted reply. "C’mon, you’ll miss it!" Rude sighed and stared at the huge stack of Reno’s reports on his desk. It was his own stupid fault he’d lost the bet they’d made last night. Doing Reno’s work for him was only the beginning of what promised to be several more days of hell. Rude looked up finally, his mouth dropping in surprise. Reno was standing there with a huge smile on his face, juggling four condoms and a cock ring he’d found in Elena’s desk. "She’s gonna kill you." A/N: Thanks for reading. Comments welcome. ^^ (Can't wait to see what words my random number generator picks next...) 5 comments|post comment

Writing Exercises [06 Jan 2008|10:25pm] It's time for me to start doing writing exercises again. I'm feeling better than I have in months, and my creative energy is calling me back into action. This is actually quite exciting. ^^ 100-Word Drabbles I've decided to do 100-word drabbles to brainstorm and practice fine-tuning what I'm trying to say. My current goal right now is to complete at least five drabbles per week, and at least twenty-five total drabbles before I move on. I have a spreadsheet to store my subject words, where a number is assigned to each, then I'll be using a random number generator to pick which word I work on next... Subject The subject for these drabbles is simply going to be FF7. Anything from any of the games, movie, or time periods is open for me to drabble about. I will warn everyone that I tend to focus on the following characters: Reno, Rufus, Cloud, Vincent, and Rude, with rarer appearances from the rest of the gang. I'm not limiting myself to a narrow theme or maturity rating. Basically, I'm just letting myself be open to whatever the subject word inspires in my imagination. Word List Rather than use one of the pre-made word lists out there, I took my chances with a random word generator, and the help of my awesome friend Khamryn, who was gracious enough to suggest the majority of the words on my list. I don't want to select any words myself, because I don't want any preconceived bias creeping into my brainstorming. If anyone else would like to suggest a word, feel free, and I'll tack it onto my list. Please make it a general word, that isn't anything FF7 specific (i.e. "danger" rather than "Sephiroth"). Because of the way that I'm selecting words from my list, I may not get to them all, or maybe I will, if I'm enjoying the project. We'll see how it goes. For those interested, peek behind the cut to see the current wordlist. I will be updating this as words are added. Once added, a word is never removed. There is no word listed for one, because I have a heading there in my spreadsheet. ( Specific Word List ) 66 mercy Progress, Posting, and Comments I'm going to refrain from posting any of these until I've completed them in groups of five. I welcome comments and any kind of nerdy craft discussion, as well as constructive criticism. Part 1 13. asphyxiation 02. absolution 41. seduction 53. surrender 21. juggle Part 2 64. princess 34. bitten 35. hard 43. slide 04. euphoria Part 3 57. stolen 61. legato 17. obliteration 20. brainwashing 49. beloved I will continue to update this post when sets and words are completed. 4 comments|post comment
