I finished all my 15 Characters meme prompts. There are some real doozies in this batch -- all crossovers, some more ridiculous than others. :) I hope people enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them!

Fenris and Yuna have an argument.

"Those creatures are dangerous."

Ashe and Alistair adopt a pet.

There were many things Ashe did not expect to find in the palace gardens when she went for her morning walk, but high on that list was the Grey Warden Alistair crouched on the grass, peering between the leaves of a well-manicured bush.

Paine and Carver Hawke make a pie.

The pile of dough sat in the middle of the countertop, a congealing lump of flour, butter, and water. Paine glared at it, as though she could shape it into the form of pie crust by sheer force of will. “Are you sure you followed the recipe?”

Paine and Bethany Hawke go to a concert.

When Paine called Bethany and told her she had an extra ticket to see Ani DiFranco, Bethany wasn’t sure which made her more surprised: that Paine liked Ani DiFranco, or that Bethany rated an invitation from her.

Peggy Carter and Isabela go on a date.

Peggy was not in the habit of frequenting bars as seedy as this one, but the informant had been quite clear: in the North Sea port city of Kirkwall, the Hanged Man was “the” place to meet without attracting attention.

Isabela, Thor, and Jane Foster sit down for a nice, friendly game of Mario Kart.

Thor took the Wiimote from its charger stand and held it up to the light, squinting at it with suspicion. “I am not certain I understand,” he said.

"It’s a simulator." Jane plucked the controller from his hand and turned it sideways. "We race against each other in little cars. Hold it like this, see?"

Alistair has a crush on Steve Rogers, and Yuna tries to matchmake.

Yuna set her tray down on the cafeteria table and frowned. She met her friend Alistair here for lunch every day, and usually he greeted her with a smile and a wave. Instead, he sat silent, hunched over a plate piled with macaroni and cheese, his food barely even touched. If Alistair wasn’t eating all his lunch and half of hers, something was very wrong.

Dragon Age/FFXII crossover -- the Blight comes to Ivalice and the three nations have to unite against it.

The Deep Roads could totally have an exit in the Zertinan Caverns, from which an assortment of Grey Wardens and Companions might emerge to help fight the darkspawn. Dragons versus airships. Zevran flirting with Ashe. The corrupting properties of Mist. Someone becomes a Grey Warden. (Vaan? Balthier? Basch???) All kinds of shenanigans come to mind.

Please tell me all the reasons this is a terrible idea that would never work.

Pick 12 characters without looking at the questions below the cut. Then post your answers.

Be warned: there are 50 questions, so this is not a quick meme, and some of the topics covered are borderline NSFW. I found it entertaining, though.

1. Paine (FFX-2)
2. Nooj (FFX-2)
3. Yuna (FFX/X-2)
4. Auron (FFX)
5. Hugo "Hurley" Reyes (Lost)
6. Juliet Burke (Lost)
7. Susan Ivanova (Babylon 5)
8. Hermione Grainger (HP)
9. Ashe (FFXII)
10. Lightning (FFXIII)
11. Jadzia Dax (Star Trek: DS9)
12. Worf (Star Trek: TNG/DS9)

So most of these questions would result in some fairly crazy cross-over crack, which suggests that the answers are going to be a little out there. I'm going to assume that I have a giant world-crossing machine which makes the various pairings feasible from a technical standpoint and go from there. Also, writing summaries is probably my least favorite thing to do, ficwise, so I'm going to skip that part of most of those questions.

( Questions and answers. )

It's October, and you know what that means: it's Final Fantasy Trick or Treat time! Come play.

I have prompted, and now I'm off to deal with this terrifying bit of crack that's brewing in my brain...

The urge to do this strikes me about once a year, and it seems that the time has come around once again. (Check out the lists from 2006 and 2007!)

The FFX/X-2 Random Pairing List
Round 3

As before, if you are inspired to write, or just boggle, leave a link in comments. Have fun!

Blame bottle_of_shine for this one, she led me into this temptation, entirely. ;)

About a year ago, I posted a randomly generated pairing list for FFX and FFX-2, and much silliness ensued. Since I could use some silliness in my life right now, and half the fun in this for me is just generating the list in the first place, I present to you:

The FFX/X-2 Random Pairing List, 2
( Cut to save everyone's sanity. )

As before, there's no need to request or claim, but if you're inspired to anything, crack or otherwise, a link in comments would be great. "Enjoy"! ;)

Oh boy, now I'm tempted to do one of these for FFXII too...

Ganked from cosmorific. Mostly because the whole "names-drawn-from-a-hat pairing" concept amuses me beyond all reason....

( View the insanity! )
