My sister, my brother, my brother's wife and kids, and my uncle and cousin all live in Huntsville Alabama, one of the hardest hit areas by the recent tornadoes. I don't yet know how they're doing, or even if they're doing. Livejournal is offering a vgift for $2.99 dollars, the proceeds of which go to the tornado disaster relief effort, and this weekend, I will write a 100 word drabble for anybody who buys one for me in any of my three fandoms. Two vgifts gets two drabbles, three gets three, etc. After you've sent me the vgift(s), leave a comment here with a character and a one word prompt for each vgift. Please please please help out here. I'm going crazy not knowing what's happened to my family.
ETA - My sister called, and everybody is alright! I may kill her myself, because she isn't staying with our brother on the mountain, where it's safer but... Cell service is back up, but electricity is down, so she's keeping her phone off to save batteries.
The meme is closed and finished.

Date: 2011-04-30 08:01 pm (UTC)He stood slumped against the glass wall when Peter came in. “Why didn’t you report me?”
Peter glanced at him. “I still might.”
Neal snorted.
Putting his hands in his pockets, to keep from reaching out to him and stroking his hair. “You would have been sent down for the rest of your life.”
“Don’t I deserve it?” Neal chuckled, the sound weak and thin. He never expected to be free again after. “You’re usually all about putting people who deserve it away.”
“Yeah,” Peter agreed, and he put his hand on Neal’s arm to lead him to a chair.

Date: 2011-04-30 04:57 am (UTC)Neal had a tape deck in his cell, and five tapes, blues, rock, jazz, and Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony. He used to pop it in, sit on his bed, close his eyes, and pretend he was sitting in the audience.
When he was as kid, all the art books told him art was truth, which was ridiculous. He lied with art all the time. He loved the lies.
But that moment, when the conductor picked up the baton, and the musicians merged into one, the partnership between composer and players wasn’t something he could fake, and he couldn’t pretend for long.

Lovely drabble, again!

Date: 2011-05-13 07:59 pm (UTC)Toph was rock solid. Toph was stubborn, and blunt, the earthbender of earthbenders. She was everything everyone called her, and Zuko... loved her.
He held to his chest, clung to her, felt the warm reality of her in his arms, steady and alive.
And he always felt like his arms were going to go right through her.
Because, the was going to leave again, walk out of the palace one day, like before, like she had walked into it, and just be gone. The more he... the closer he tried to get, the more she blew away on the wind.
Re: Toph/Zuko - Fluff
Date: 2011-05-15 05:48 am (UTC)Thank you for this. Ohhh... I was so hoping it would have a happy ending for the first part, but maybe this IS a happy ending in a way? At least they have the now, right? Well it's beautiful. Thank you for writing it.
Re: Toph/Zuko - Fluff
Date: 2011-05-15 05:50 am (UTC)No, thank you.
Re: Toph/Zuko - Fluff
Date: 2011-05-15 05:56 am (UTC)And that is true, isn't it? Of course this begs the question -- what if Toph were to get pregnant after one of these visits? To which country would the child belong? (Maybe it would depend if it bent earth or fire. Hmm....)
Re: Toph/Zuko - Fluff
Date: 2011-05-15 06:05 am (UTC)More seriously, the kid would probably have a lot of company to decide with, given all of the Fire Nation colonials and probable half Earth Kingdom half Fire Nation people hanging around. Mind, I have a hard time imagining Toph spawning anything except an earthbender... Sorry, Zuko.

Vgift #2. Aang - Divorce
Aang - Divorce
Date: 2011-05-02 12:30 am (UTC)They stood in front of her tribe and listened as her father told them they were one now, one life, one spirit, two bodies.
And he remembered the way it felt to let her go beneath Ba Sing Se and held a little of himself back, divorced from her, divorced from the new being they were making named Katara-and-Aang.
It was the part of him that remembered that she was her own person, the person he loved. As she wrapped her arms around him and drew him into a kiss, he hoped she held back that bit of herself too.
P.S. Were you the person who just bought me two months paid time? Because, wow.

Ty Lee - Armageddon
Date: 2011-05-02 03:56 am (UTC)But she stopped on the threshold of the tower. She stopped and stood half in the sunlight and half under the stones.
And the world out there was a world without the war, a world without Azula, a world that wasn’t... hers. She wrapped her arms around herself and stared until the others arrived.
