SpringKink Prompts: Black Lagoon, Blade of the Immortal, Samurai Deeper Kyo

Posted together for your convenience!

(springkink is basically a multi-fandom prompt and art/fic writing community. Every few months, they open up a "prompt post" and users post prompts from any fandom. A few weeks later, the mods collect them into posts by date and open them up for claiming. Users claim prompts and post them on the specific date they are due. You must be over 18 to write for this community. )

Cut for long lists! )

The 15-Word Ficlet Meme!

I most recently saw this at nouvellebrielle's, although I know I've seen it other places as well. This was a real pain - sort of like doing a crossword puzzle and writing drabbles at the same time:

    
  1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
  2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

My characters were:

  1. Balalaika (Black Lagoon)
  2. Manji (Blade of the Immortal)
  3. Eda (Black Lagoon)
  4. Sanada Yukimura (SDK)
  5. Sanzo
  6. (Saiyuki)
  1. Gojyo (Saiyuki)
  2. Onime-no-Kyo (SDK)
  3. Hakkai (Saiyuki)
  4. Revy (Black Lagoon)
  5. Matsumoto Rangiku (Bleach)

I'll freely admit that I gave up on my first run. Then I used random numbers to re-sort the same list and got some really great crack. Can anybody guess which prompt+characters made me squee most?

Warnings: mild m/m, cross-dressing, m/m kissage, and naughty talk,
Notes: I'm between stages on a couple of longer WIPs, and I wanted to fluff and air out my writing brain, so I called for prompts for flash fiction in my main LJ, from anything listed in my interests.
