Title:
  Fear
Summary: Hope waits anxiously for Lightning to make the next move.
Characters/Pairings:  Hope/Lightning
Word count:  150
Rating/warnings:  M!!! This is an AU where they are both set in hell...

"Don't move," Lightning says warningly, demons waiting with baited breath just beyond the edge of the stage.

Hope's breath is shallow – sharp – as he straightens and obeys. They have done this before and he knows this cruel, cold sadist standing before him isn't real, isn't his Lightning, but he still wonders if she is losing herself in this role they play. He wonders if he is too.

The small blade Lightning pulls out glints and she steps forward. His palms are clammy. He knows she will drag it across his skin. He knows he can trust her, but doubts plague him. This is Lightning, right? She won't lose control, right? She's strong enough, right?

Pain becomes pleasure when she makes needle thin scratches on his chest. A gasp escapes his mouth, lips parted. He likes it and it scares him because it's about to get a lot worse.

Title:  Homesick
Summary: Snow longs for Bodhum and his two missing companions.
Characters/Pairings: Snow
Word count: 150
Rating/warnings: G

The pounding serf reminds you of a sweeter time, of home. The sleeping bodies – minus two and plus two others - in the rooms around you are a reminder of your journey, a journey that, in spite of the goal, you treasure. But none of it is the same. This place is not home. You were important there. This isn't the adventure. You were needed then.

Now you are... nothing. An empty life with empty words and empty expressions.

"Who are you, Snow?" You ask the mirror. "Will they notice if you left?"

You already know the answer. They wouldn't miss you because you left them – you died – a long time ago.

Sorry, need to clarify: you tagged the previous one with !needs points yourself, but this one wasn't... was it written before you joined [livejournal.com profile] ff_land? If you just missed out the tag I'll add it for you.

Oh, these were really good as well! I really like the Snow one in particular. It is a great introspective piece on Snow. XD

12 Points to Team Black Mage!

Wonderful fics. You captured a lot of different emotion with each piece, and your description was amazing. I liked the first one a lot, as well as the introspective piece on Snow too. :D
