The Shiny Happy Comment Ficathon!

Winter is coming; daylight is fleeting; for the students among us, end-of-semester hell is just about to rear its ugly head. What better way to combat such woes than with a super-cheerful comment ficathon?

Ergo:

The Rules Are Thus:

1. Cheerful prompts! I feel like there's not much regulation here in terms of pairings: almost every ship or pair of characters is capable of a fluffy/happy/silly moment, and if they're not in canon, then why can't they be in fic? However, any prompt involving, say, lyrics from Eminem and Rihanna's "Love The Way You Lie" is probably not appropriate in terms of tone. Unless it's the "guess that's why they call it WINDOW PANE" line, which will never stop being hilarious.

2. Prompt format should go thus:

Fandom -- Pairing or characters -- prompt

3. For the fic you've written, please put the following in your comment's subject line: 'Fandom -- pairing -- title.'

4. Be nice!

5. Spread the fun, if you are so inclined!

6. Go forth and have a merry happy good time. :)

Dearest Chilla, what is this Hunger Games that you are reccing?

The idea of this ship in the shiny-happy ficathon intrigues me =D

THIS SHIP!!!

psych -- shawn&juliet -- it was only a matter of time before they got arrested for acts of public indecency [in canada]

Edited 2010-11-13 23:47 (UTC)

I KNOW!

Glad you enjoyed! (I mean, she breaks into magic shops and everything!)

Damn, this was fantastic. I loved all your voices especially Shirley's and Pierce. Just damn ♥

edit: to say I forgot to tell you your Leonard cameo made me laugh. Hard

Edited 2010-11-13 23:58 (UTC)

Who doesn't love them???

:)

:D BAHA you hilarious woman. Ficathons move too fast! (If it makes you feel better, I'm starting a new one soon for

winter_of_faith, so you can have at it.)

Unf... so hot. And adorable too!

(http://s674.photobucket.com/albums/vv102/cheesegirl33/GIF/GIF%20Dollhouse/?action=view&current=inlove.gif)

YES.

And also sexily sinister at times. SO MUCH LOVE.

This was adorable. I love their interactions. :D

Thank you very much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it and found it in-character! :D

Lilo and Stitch are biking along the leafy outskirts of town-- well, jetting around the solar system in a rocket-powered attempt to outrun a vicious monster of as yet undetermined origins, actually-- when they encounter a tiger.

"A TIGER," Lilo cries, leaping off of the bike, fists at the ready. Stitch bares his teeth, as any good alien ought to when confronted with a stripey jungle beast.

"Oh," the tiger says, looking rather surprised. "Um. Roar?"

"...You're not a very good tiger," Lilo says, perturbed.

"Excuse me, I am an excellent tiger I will have you know," the tiger says, drawing himself up to his full height and putting his paws on his hips. "I am the textbook definition of a tiger: behold my gleaming eyes, my lustrous coat, my sleek and powerful tail-- you should be fainting at my feet."

Stitch makes a derisive noise and wriggles his claws slightly. The tiger answers him with an expression which is somewhere between snarling, nervous, and bemused.

"What are you, anyway?" He inquires, sounding genuinely curious. "Some kind of seriously demented rat terrier?"

"Hey, nobody talks about Stitch like that!" Lilo declares, stomping one foot. There is a pause, and then she adds, "Um. What does 'demented' mean?"

"Crazed," the tiger supplies immediately. "Mad. A few sandwiches short of a picnic."

"Oh," Lilo says. "Then I guess I owe you an apology Mr. Tiger. Everybody talks about Stitch that way."

"Apology accepted," the tiger says cheerfully, and holds out a paw to shake. "My name's Hobbes."

Introductions have just run their course when a plaintive voice intrudes.

"Hobbes? Hobbes!"

"Right here," Hobbes calls. "I was wondering where you were. Look, I made new friends!"

"Ewwwww," says the spiky-haired boy who has just rushed into view trying his hardest not to look in any way concerned. "I can't leave you alone for two seconds without you meeting girls!"

"Just one girl," Hobbes protests. "And her demented, blue rat terrier."

"Ooh," the boy says, his eyes lighting up. Lilo sticks her chin out.

"Stitch is my friend," she says, "and there's nothing wrong with girls, and you have stupid hair."

"Hey!" The boy says, but he seems willing to temporarily drop his gender-related hesitancy in exchange for the chance to meet an alien. "I mean, fine. Whatever. What's the blue thing's name?"

"He is not a thing," Lilo says, "and his name is Stitch."

"He's awesome," the boy breathes, which is as good as redemption in Lilo's eyes.

"My name's Lilo," she says. "You can play with us, if you want."

"Okay," the boy agrees. "My name's Calvin. Have you ever played Calvinball? We're gonna crush you."

"Um, as if," Lilo says. "Stitch and I have alien powers and girl power on our side. You're going down."

"Have you noticed that Hobbes is a tiger?" Calvin asks, and things are pretty much off and running after that.

(When Calvin's family return from their week and a half vacation, Calvinball has acquired a new rule entitled The Pufferfish Clause, which must, of course, be promptly discarded. But every once in a while a postcard arrives, slightly crinkled, from a tropical zip code. Calvin tacks them up on the wall-- Hobbes teases him mercilessly for it, of course-- because hello, awesome. Sometimes-- okay, fine, most of the time-- he even remembers to write back.)

I just have to add: I think Lilo/Calvin just became, like, my OTP. Where in the world did that come from and why did I never think of it before and WHY IS IT IS SO PERFECT. Everyone else ever should fill this prompt.

It's one of those pairings that you might never have considered before, but ship five minutes after you give it serious consideration -- like Carmen Sandiego/Waldo.

awww and Andrew being helpful an caring is awesome.

Title is from a Katy Perry song. I'm music-snobbishly pleased that I had to Google it, which is ridiculous because I am such a music philistine, really.

"Come on in," Lisa says, opening the door. "She's making vodkaffles."

"What in God's name is a vodkaffle?" Hayley asks, shedding her coat. Ainsley appears in the kitchen doorway, holding a bottle of vodka and grinning like a loon. Jennifer crowds into the apartment.

"You're flashing the Bat Signal over there Ainsley!" She says happily, toeing off her heels. Hayley sighs and kicks the shoes into the corner, returning the entryway to some semblance of order.

"Really? Vodka in waffles?" She asks.

"It's Friday night!" Ainsley says. "I'll put whatever I want in the waffles. Do you know anywhere around here where a girl could get her hands on some absinthe?"

"That's very, like, Vincent van Gogh of you," Hayley says, at the same time that Jennifer, in her best swooning Southern Belle accent, says, "Oh what wild and crazy shenanigans you get up to. Vodka in waffles! Whatever will your parents say?"

"Ew, van Gogh," Ainsley says, and flicks waffle batter in Jennifer's general direction.

"I see what you're doing there, Hayes, trying to get me liquored up via food fight," Jennifer says, attempting to lick her own nose.

"Don't you have a Young Republicans thing tomorrow?" Hayley asks, passing Jennifer a wash cloth. Ainsley sighs.

"I am the Young Republicans on this campus. And I plan on being very lenient with myself, no matter how many hangover-induced typos are in the minutes of my meeting. My meeting with me."

"It's not just you," Lisa says, letting herself into the apartment. "It's you and that girl with the Thomas Jefferson quote tattooed on her ankle. Also, I see that you've started the festivities without me. Also also, why didn't I know we had vodka in the house?"

"Because I wanted to get to use it, duh," Ainsley says. "Just because you want to vixenishly seduce that guy from the bookshop on Main Street does not mean that you get to steal my liquor to do it."

"It should," Lisa says, pouting. "And why don't you come down there with me some time? I'm sure your winsome, blond ways would have him saying more than 'Have a good day, ma'am.'"

She sinks morosely into the armchair. Jennifer gives her a comforting pat on the arm.

"Because, everyone in that bookstore hates me," Ainsley replies, stirring the waffle mix with wild abandon. "You ask one time if they're planning to stock the Reagan autobiography and you're practically banned for life. I ask you!"

"Oh honey," Hayley says with a sigh. "You mentioned Reagan, really?"

"I'll mention whomever I like," Ainsley says. "And don't start critiquing my politics or you won't get any vodkaffles."

Heeeeee, Carmen Sandiego/Waldo. ♥

Ahhh. I love this.

She's so sassy and I adore her saying, "I'll put what I want in the waffles" and "I'll mention whomever I like". And the bookstore, Reagan, and her being the only Young Republican.

And the Thomas Jefferson tattoo!

This is fantastic. Thank you so much for filling this!

(And LOL at the title. :) )

Awww, your icon. ♥

Random: guh, THAT ICON. SO PRETTY.

Haha! No, no, I didn't mean for this fic-a-thon, I know that. That was my subtle way of saying I wanted you to write more fic that wasn't for speed dating so I could get a crack at it. No guilting here, just lusting. ;)

Well. Bellatrix is happy? I don't know, Bellatrix Lestrange + shiny happy is not the easiest to achieve! :P

Title is from a Janis Joplin song (called, shockingly, "All Is Loneliness").

----

Bellatrix's earliest memory is of her mother, pale skin and wide, dark eyes, cooing over her darling firstborn girl.

"You will be beautiful, my love," her mother said. "Beautiful and powerful, of course. They will all be so proud of you. So proud."

Bellatrix's father never called her "darling," but on her eleventh birthday, when she returned home from a day of shopping with the finest Slytherin green robes money could buy, he called her "the pride of the House of Black," which was infinitely better.

Bellatrix grew up in a mansion, a stately, twisted old place with centuries of portraits on the walls: the entire family staring down their noses at her with a regal, cold air. Her mother always stopped to smile quiveringly at them when she walked down the hall, grateful for her inclusion in the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black.

"We are so lucky, darling," she murmured one night after dinner. "So lucky to be a part of a family with so much to be proud of. Such pure blood. I had to marry for it but you, my beautiful Bella, you have been born into it. Someday you will understand what that means."

Bellatrix understands what it means the moment she sets foot within the walls of Hogwarts. Half of the students aren't even of pure blood, she can tell that much immediately. She curls into herself on the first night, the curtains of her four-poster providing flimsy protection against the mercilessly gray stone walls. She can feel this place trying to dilute her magic, trying to seep into her veins and make her something ordinary.

"Seven years," she whispers into the stifling air. "Seven years and you can leave. You'll never come back again."

But seven years is a long time to spend being dragged down, weighed on by students and professors and ideas that are so dull, so common. There are so few people in this school who know what it means to feel centuries of magic humming through them. Seven years is a long time to spend being hemmed in. Being flattened. So at the end of seven years Bellatrix bursts out into the real world in a panic, desperate to be among people who at the very least know when to bow down.

Tom will make the world bow down, she knows. Tom will be "my Lord" when all is said and done, and he will make everyone-- even those hopeless Mudbloods who crowd the halls of Hogwarts-- understand what it is to be worthy. Tom reminds her of the simple elegance in a well-cast spell and of the sheer, raw joy in performing the ancient magic. The promises he whispers while the rest of the world waits, unaware, are grand and sweeping and wonderful, and after seven years of dull terror the world bursts back into color before her eyes.
