daily dose of random

Disclaimer: I do not own of any of the series I write fan-related fiction for, neither do I make a profit from it. Kuroko no Basket belongs to Fujimaki Tadatoshi. Natsume Yuujinchou belongs to Midorikawa Yuki. Katekyo Hitman Reborn is the property of Amano Akira. Hikaru no Go belongs to Obata Takeshi and Hotta Yumi. Naruto belongs to Kishimoto Masashi. As well as their collaborative sources for creating the anime episodes that we know and love.

Claimer: I do own any original characters and/or writing you may stumble across here. Most original writing will be f-locked, unless there's a reason for it to be made public.

About: I write primarily for fun and strengthening my skills as a writer, so critique is welcome. Flames and hate-comments, not so much. Really, it's the internet, why so serious? For the purpose of improving, I settled on a write-every-day challenge. Random fandoms, genres, characters/pairings, and plot bunnies daily. The length depends on how much time I have and my motivation, but they'll at least be 100 words, if not more. If my crazy doesn't scare you away, I hope we can be friends - I'm always open to meeting new people and getting to know them. Feel free to add me, and if you'd like to be added back, just comment here.

Fandoms: Hikaru no Go, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Kuroko no Basket, Naruto, Natsume Yuujinchou

Day #27 -

Title: Coincidence
Fandom: Natsume Yuujinchou
Characters: Natsume Reiko, mystery guy from the manga (so spoiler alert for fan speculation?)
Rating: G
Words: (+/-) 1351
Summary: He warns her to be careful, treats her to manjuu, but who is he really?

( A girl was being chased through the streets. Again. Nothing new there, considering this girl was a troublemaker in her own right. )

Day #25 -

Title: Learning
Fandom: Natsume Yuujinchou
Characters: Matoba Seiji, Nanase, Natsume Takashi
Rating: PG
Words: (+/-) 2061
Summary: Matoba was in a good mood, until he saw what had become of Natsume.

Part 1 . Part 2

( Anyone else would have seen Natsume Takashi, patted the boy on the head, and sent him on his merry way. Seiji saw Natsume Takashi, patted the boy on the head, and kept him tied to him on a finely concealed leash. )

Day #23 -

Title: Those Helpful Friends
Fandom: Natsume Yuujinchou
Characters: Nishimura, Natsume, mentions of Tanuma
Rating: G
Words: (+/-) 783
Summary: Nishimura looks up anemia and wants to help.
Notes: I decided to take a break from the multi-parts and write something silly. This was the end result. Written for a prompt over at fic_promptly - which was, "I looked up anemia last night."

( You may rely on Tanuma like your knight in shining armor, but don’t forget you have more than one friend, idiot. )

Day #21 -

Title: The Deal
Fandom: Natsume Yuujinchou
Characters: Matoba Seiji, Natsume Takashi, Nanase
Rating: PG
Words: (+/-) 1732
Summary: Matoba and Natsume strike a deal, but mostly, they get to know each other. Well, they try. It isn't easy when they misunderstand each other.

Part 1

( Seiji paced his room, impatient. Waiting was something he didn't like when he had something to look forward to - and right now, he did. )

Day #19 -

Title: Lost and Found
Fandom: Natsume Yuujinchou
Characters: Matoba Seiji, Natsume Takashi
Rating: PG
Words: (+/-) 1600
Summary: AU. Matoba meets a young Natsume and takes a special interest in him.
Notes: I probably shouldn’t be starting another series, but this idea has been driving me nuts.

( Seiji had found something interesting, even if it wasn’t what he had lost. )

Day #17 -

Title: Just Ask 3
Fandom: Kuroko no Basket
Characters: Aomine, Kuroko, Kise
Rating: PG
Words: (+/-) 930
Summary: Aomine isn’t Mr. Nice Guy, but he does care about Kuroko. He just has a messed up way of showing it.

Chapter 1 . Chapter 2

( The school festival was coming up, and that meant students busying themselves with preparing for the event. Aomine wasn't one of them. )

Day #15 -

Title: Spirited Away
Fandom: Natsume Yuujinchou
Characters: Natsume Takashi, Fujiwara Touko and Shigeru, Nishimura, Kitamoto, Tanuma, Natori, Hiiragi
Rating: PG
Words: (+/-) 1276
Summary: Continuation of Youkai Water. Natsume discovers that what it's like to be an ayakashi, and this increases his want to be human again.
Notes: This will definitely be a series - I'm probably going to call it 'There and Back Again' if I can't think of anything better, but any suggestions would be welcome! And after I get to the end, I promise to go back and write individual chapters for each character and how they viewed the events that took place. The first part can be read here.

( There were legends, Takashi knew, that depicted youkai turning into humans - and the reverse was also an undeniable truth, humans could turn into youkai. It was a fact that Takashi had learned for himself.  )

Day #13 -

Title: Youkai Water
Fandom: Natsume Yuujinchou
Characters: Natsume Takashi, Tanuma, Taki, Hinoe, Nyanko-sensei (Madara); mentions of Touko and Shigeru
Rating: PG
Words: (+/-) 1504
Summary: Not all promises can be kept. Not all stories can end happily either. Natsume gets sick and the only cure is something he can’t accept.
Notes: I found a prompt on the natsumeyuujinchou comment meme that inspired this.

( At first, they thought Takashi had caught a cold. )

Day #11 -

Title: A Strange Girl
Fandom: Natsume Yuujinchou
Characters: Natsume Reiko
Rating: G
Words: (+/-) 577
Summary: Reiko stops caring about the stares and lives on, but when she dies, the stares live on.
Notes: Written for fic_promptly - the prompt was 'she's stopped acknowledging the weird stares'.

( The youkai whispered that she was a harbinger of destruction. The humans just thought she was strange. )
