Characters/Pairing: James Potter
Prompt: A memory
Rating: PG
Notes: This is for
He remembers that night. You don't ever forget your last moments.
He'd always thought his life would flash before his eyes. But Lily was upstairs with Harry, and all he could think about was somehow holding Voldemort off.
Before that, though, when he realized what had happened and what would happen, he thought of his friends, and who had betrayed them all.
Now, watching Harry, he hasn't ever felt prouder. Never in his life or death. He smiles as he looks around the circle at the ghostly images the Stone sent to help his son.
It was all worth it.

Characters/Pairing: Korra, Tahno
Prompt: affection
Rating: pg
Notes: Just playing around with LoK characters
“Korra!”
She sighs. Not this guy again.
“You called me pretty.” Tahno smirks.
“You wish.”
“Right,” Korra says, significantly quieter. “I did.”
“When I kicked your ass.” Her face brightens with a smile that makes her look more like a girl than the almost woman she is.
“No. Naga kicked my ass.”
“Yeah, well my polar-bear dog, your ass kicked.”
“And you still gotta little something there,” Tahno thinks for a second she is going to touch him, but she just points to the scrape on his cheek.
“I meant it as an insult, Tahno...”
“Then you’re pretty too, Korra.”

Challenge: Subconscious
Summary: ( They came out of his dreams to fulfill his life. )
Characters/Pairing: Nightcrawler
Prompt: subconscious
Rating: G
Notes: Oh, icon, you don't really match the story at all, do you? I take Kurt here from early on in his story, just before he was found by Charles Xavier and recruited into the X-Men.
All his life, all of it: demon. The word followed him like a curse, like a plague, worked its way deep into his psyche. At night he dreamed he had such powers. Life over death, strength over weakness, the power to make normal people cower in fear. Wakefulness and morning reminded him sadly those powers were already his. The blue of his skin, the shape of his hands and feet, the tail he could hardly pretend was a mere prop, the lingering scent of brimstone. For as long as he could remember, he’d asked the same plaintive question: why me?

Characters/Pairing: Link, Midna
Prompt: Almost empty
Rating: G
Notes:
There is a blankness to this, this act of death.
Midna has seen her share of death, each newer and more horrible to the last, but this death is unlike those. He does not writhe, or beg, or pray; he lies in her arms, quite calmly despite the blood on his lips, breathing slowly. At least I did it, he says modestly, reaching toward her face, and she lets him, because it's her real face, not an imp's. And she wonders blankly why his blood does not clot, how she'll remove it from her hands, how she'll wash him away.
Characters/Pairing: Zelda
Prompt: Fantasy
Rating: G
Notes:
She thinks of them, the spaces and the fantasies.
She thinks of the spaces between herself: the guise and the woman, the Princess and the Sage. She is all these things at once: She is the Sheikah with redwater eyes, the mask. She is the woman inside it, bound to her guilt. She is the Princess, young and hopeful, dreaming in riddles. She is the Sage, the bringer of light, the Wisdom to his Courage. Zelda (or Sheik, or Princess, or Sage, she no longer knows) is all of these things, but those are fantasies, no more real than darkness.
Characters/Pairing: Harriet/Peter
Prompt: Time
Rating:PG
Notes:
One might say, looking at them, that they had wasted enough time. Five years of waiting, of misunderstanding and bitterness.
Sometimes this worried Harriet. They were not young any more, after all, and their lives' experiences took their toll, in nightmares and anguish and resentment.
Now, though, looking across at Peter's intent face as he guided his small son through the mysteries of the written word as represented by Peter and Jane's various domestic ventures, she thought that all that really mattered was the time that was left to them; both their lifetimes. That, surely, should be enough for anyone.
Characters/Pairing: Jedi Knight Kira Carsen
Prompt: Family, only human
Rating: PG
Notes: There aren't really spoilers but if you haven't gotten to Vallis yet in the Jedi Knight Story line this takes place after that. And yeah my Knight's name is Saralon not the best I know.
Jedi did not fear, but Valis' story cut close to home—a little too close for comfort. She had to focus. This was why the Jedi were against attachment. She concentrated and felt the Force snap into focus within her. She felt Kira fall and began to despair as she leapt back into the fight, Kira wasn't dead, she could still sense her Padawan through the Force but... Suddenly there was a clunk and a whirl of indignant beeps as T7 sped into the fight, picking Valis up with his electric charge. Channeling the Force she gave on last lunge.
Characters/Pairing: Link
Prompt: Time
Rating: G
Notes:
Time casts a shadow on his back.
It follows him as surely as his own thoughts; it lurks behind his footsteps, stealing his breath. It reminds him of the seven years he'd spent slumbering, away from those he loved, from those he has failed to save. And though he holds Time between his fingertips, he knows, he knows, he does not control time: time controls him. It reminds him with every swing of the Master Sword, each time he raises the ocarina to his lips; you were late, it hisses, keep up, Hero – I'll follow you, wherever you go.
Characters/Pairing: Ghirahim/Zelda
Prompt: a dream
Rating: G
Notes: Inspired by the song "Dark Waltz" by Haley Westenra
________________________________________
First and last, he says, close to her face.
First and last, because our time is short, and time, is not on our side. He smiles, pale pointed teeth, gleaming – he guides her around a room without corners. They waltz. Zelda is dizzy, following his footsteps, hand in his, Ghirahim's breath cold, silver shimmering slivers. He dances with her, dreamlike – no dream, this, he whispers, sibilant. She lets him lead, and when it ends, he kisses her lips, bites until she bleeds – and she claws away his face, and she wants to scream and – she wakes.

Characters/Pairing: Mayuri/Retsu
Prompt: Dangerous
Rating: PG
Notes:
There is danger in the very flutter of his eyelids. Retsu ignores it, or does the best she can at ignoring it, because there is good in everyone, she thinks, hopes, wishes. When her hands curl around his cheek in a please-for-me-just-once beg, she knows the danger in it. But she wants, she wants, she wants, the shape of her name on his lips, pressed against her throat, more a beast than a man. Retsu knows she's selfish as any woman, that she holds the apple within her hands, and tempts danger (Mayuri) and hope (herself) into the far-reaching abyss.
