I'm probably going to be offline the next couple of days. Those of you who live dictionary drabble to dictionary drabble, thank you for your devotion and sorry, but this is Darwinism at work.


Date: March 25th
Word Count: 200
Fandom: FFIV
Characters: Kain, Cecil
Word: nefarious - adj - flagrantly wicked or impious; evil
A/N: I wanted slash and couldn't find any I hadn't read ten billion times. So yeah. Also, count this as a warning, those of you who care (which isn't anyone reading my journal, I'm pretty sure)
Note that nefarious also relates to breaching tradition.

( Sub Rosa )

Date: March 24th
Word Count: 709
Fandom: FFIV
Characters: Shiva, Rydia
Word: hummock - noun - 1: a rounded knoll or hillock; 2: a ridge of ice
A/N: Couldn't concentrate. Want sleep.
Based on the horribly repetitive geography of the Blue Planet.

( Limits of Imagination )

Date: March 23rd
Word Count: 250
Fandom: FFIV
Characters: Kain, Rosa
Word: copacetic - adj - very satisfactory
A/N: I said no more fluff, but now I've got the same theme as the two other people everyone else who writes young Kain. I did try to leave the object of his affection more ambiguous than most though I can usually explain it away regardless of how much Kain->Rosa people include...

( Weighted Measures )

Date: March 22nd
Word Count: 179
Fandom: FFIV
Characters: Yang's wife
Word: forte - noun - something at which one excels; one's strong point
A/N: It's easier for me to write these slices of history than slices of life, especially when uninspired. I'll try to have stuff happen in the next ones.
A couple weeks ago when lave made me think of tarot, I went through the deck and started assigning the obvious cards. When I got to Strength, I immediately thought of Yang/Yang's Wife, and that's the idea behind this ficlet.

( Rallying the Troups )

Date: March 21st
Word Count: 176
Fandom: FFIV
Characters: Kluya
Word: obfuscate - verb - 1 a: darken; b: to make obscure; 2: confuse; 3: to be evasive, unclear, or confusing
A/N: Lacking in inspiration. Way too much stuff to do for break, though not school stuff.

( History )

Date: March 20th
Word Count: 400
Fandom: FFIV
Characters: Troian Cleric #5
Word: verdure - noun - 1: the greeness of growing vegetation; such vegetation itself; 2: a condition of health and vigor
A/N: Troian Cleric #5 gets a tag only because I'm expecting her to show up again. I wanted to give her some credibility before turning her into a complete fangirl

( From the Journal of Troian Cleric #5 )

Date: March 19th
Word Count: 120
Fandom: DFF
Characters: Bartz
Word: wanderlust - noun - a strong longing for or impulse toward wandering
A/N: No declarations of not using Bartz because he's too obvious because serious!Bartz (okay, maybe lessSilly!Bartz) is pretty much never written ever. I'd like to reach a happy medium, but that'll be an exercise for another day.
On a completely unrelated note, someone bought the Kain/Cecil doujinshi I was looking at on eBay. Which is probably a good thing, since that person just saved me $20.
( Go with the Wind )

Date: March 18th
Word Count: 339
Fandom: FFIV, slight reference to DFF
Characters: Golbez and Rubicante
Word: magniloquent - adj - speaking in or characterized by a high-flown often bombastic style or manner
A/N: I ACTUALLY USED A VOCABULARY WORD IN THIS FIC! OMG!
Not that the word had anything to do with the challenge, but I'll take the victories I can, thankyouverymuch.
Also, Golbez seems to be becoming quite the gourmand in the dictionary drabbling universe. I have no idea how that happened.
( Trifling )

Date: March 17th
Word Count: 132
Fandom: FFIV
Characters: Tellah
Word: glower - verb - to look or stare with sullen annoyance or anger
A/N: I don't like this one at all, largely because I can't think right now or when I wrote it and it shows.
Missed the mark on the word a bit. In my head I pictured Tellah looking at Edward and Anna out the window, which makes for a good scene, with the contrast of bright versus dark and such. I might try to redeem the idea later, but now I just want to sleep.
( Small Offerings )

Date: March 16th
Word Count: 150
Fandom: FFIV
Characters: Angsty and Angstier (though I'm not sure which is which)
Word: archetype - noun - the original pattern or model of which all things of the same type are representations or copies; prototype; a perfect example
A/N: In case anyone hasn't noticed yet, I'm not terribly fond of Squall. His obscene number of fangirls does not help my opinion of him in the least.
Also, #3 on this. And while I cannot approve on Kain/Squall, the limerick in the comments is pretty excellent XD
