Yet Another Meme

[elementalhero]

Write 10 different categories of fic, in as few words as possible.

Ganked from redbrunja, this meme has been going around my flist, and I felt like writing tonight.  I was all raring to write it to Itachi/Anko, but I changed my mind at the last minute to...

 

Sasuke/Karin (don't ask, even I don't know why)

1. Angst

When the pink-headed medic on the battlefield suddenly whipped around and blasted Sasuke to the ground with a single blow to the head, Karin was understandably angered.

But when that same pink-headed (slut, she hisses in the back of her mind, unwilling to give her a name and the respect it came with) medic was able to coax a rare real smile out of Sasuke, the one it had taken Karin weeks to even glimpse, it was something darker, sharper, icier than anger that twisted in her insides. 

Because Karin was once a proud member of Hidden Sound, and she knows that no one's irreplaceable.

2. AU

Dear Diary,

Stole Sasuke's shirt out of boys' locker room during gym today.  It smells like rancid guy sweat.  And success.

Next Mission: steal his jockstrap and see if his package is as lovely as they say.

3. Crack

It's all Suigetsu's fault for suggesting they go out, really.  Turns out, Sasuke can't hold his liquor.

"Baby," he slurs on the way back to the inn, sweeping Karin low to the ground and attempting to look her straight in the eyes without corssing his own, "you're my forever girl."

Needless to say, she'll never let him forget it.

4. Crossover (KH)

"Oh, I'm sorry," the spiky-brown-headed kid is saying, stumbling over his words, "for a second, from the back, I thought you were someone I, uh, knew."

--

"Oh, I'm sorry," the talking duck is saying, squawking so shrilly that he's close to unintelligible as Juugo holds him at eye level, "for a second, from the back, I thought your friend was someone I, uh, knew."

5. First Time

"Okay, so maybe next time I ought to take my glasses off."

"If you think there's going to be a next time..."

"Oh, Sasuke, you don't understand.  It's hormones.  There will be a next time."

"...Shit."

6. Fluff

Sometimes, when it's Karin's turn on perimeter watch, she sings softly to keep herself awake.  She has a rich contralto voice, but she doesn't like to sing in front of other people.  She doesn't know enough songs.

So when she hears the tune she'd been singing the night before, as an absent-minded hum on Sasuke's lips, she smiles to herself and tries to ignore that he's tone-deaf.

7. Humor

"So, is this, like, full-blown for real Akatsuki initiation, or what?" Karin asks, and Sasuke's finger twitches.  "Don't move," she snaps, as she paints down another coat, blowing gently on his pinkie fingernail.  He flushes slightly.

"Sasuke's just all flustered because he hates having his hand held," Suigetsu snickers from the other corner, where Juugo's doing his toes.

8. Hurt/Comfort

Karin felt Sasuke's approaching chakra signature long before he sat down behind her, his back against hers.  So much for a private cry.

"For what it's worth, Karin," he begins, softly and almost awkwardly (if she could allow herself to believe he was capable of being awkward), "I wouldn't have asked you to join if I didn't think you were capable."

She's been trained for most of her life to hide weakness, so her voice is as steady as a rock even as she blinks away tears.  "Coming from you, that's a real compliment, huh?" she asks, and almost laughs.

"The best," Sasuke says, and she smiles against the lump in her throat.

9. Smut

His curse mark hisses and boils under her, and his teeth come down much sharper  than before, his nails scoring her back painfully.  Her fingers are entangled in his suddenly wildwild hair (too long, and brittle and stiff with the crackle of his buzzing chakra), and she smiles against his bruise-darkened skin when the wings come down over her in the parody of an embrace.

10. UST

"There's got to be a more efficient way, Karin," Sasuke says, frowning.  "You're the only healer we've got on the team, but--I mean, we can't afford to have you injured in the process.  There are arteries in your arms, you know."

"If you're so worried, Sasuke, don't bite so hard.  Or, you know, get hurt less."  Karin adjusts her glasses.

"Does it have to be a bite, specifically?"  Sasuke trails off, looking at her face in an odd way.

Karin's heart skips a couple of times, but she asks anyway: "...What are you getting at?"

"...Nothing," Sasuke says after a minute, and walks away.

You know, I wondered which pairings you'd do. I was not expecting this.

"If you're so worried, Sasuke, don't bite so hard. Or, you know, get hurt less." Karin adjusts her glasses.

Dead-on Karin voice.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I have no idea how that happened.

*blushes* Thank you! Karin is turning out to be one of my favorite characters to write and I still think she's up to something.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope she is.

[the-sun-is-up.livejournal.com]

"you're my forever girl."

AHAHAHHAHAHLKASDFHAFHAHAHAHA

Oh man and I loved the nail-painting. I've always lolled at that aspect of Akatsuki.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

I totally stole that from Avatar's "Daydreams and Nightmares" (is that the ep title? With Aang's insomnia? You know the one.)

I really do think that the nail-painting comes with initiation. Like, if you whine and complain about it, you get kicked out. It's a test of your ability to withstand all sorts of psychological tactics, including embarrassment. XD

[feilyn.livejournal.com]

I've been thinking about doing this meme too, but no time...D:

Anyway, you did this brilliantly. I love your Karin, and you already know my feelings about your Sasuke XD The last one would definitely be my favourite, although I loved 6 as well.

HandwingsXD

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

*sob*

:D Really? Even though I am, like, utterly opposed to this happening in canon, I love writing it. Is that weird?

sh-shut up, you know I can't write smut anyway

[feilyn.livejournal.com]

Pfft, not weird at all. I'm totally opposed to SasuSaku happening in canon, doesn't mean I don't have the BIGGEST urge to write it XD But yes, I enjoyed these muchly!

Actually, it was pretty good, I just knew you'd find a way to bring handwings into it the moment I saw the prompt XD

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

:D

R-Really? *blushes*

[digthenym.livejournal.com]

These are awesome!! ESPECIALLY JUUGO AND DONALD DUCK THEY ARE A TEAM MADE IN HEAVEN!

I love how you write Sasuke! Typically he's one of my least favorite characters in the Naruto verse but you get the perfect balance of awkward teen and destined avenger and it works so well!

ZOMG Karin! I LOVE Karin and it seems like no one writes her ever :o( You peg her with the slight creepiness and temper.

Also, lulz forever at Sasuke impersonating Aang!! <333

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you! Ahaha, Juugo'd be like, "SEE I TOLD YOU BIRDS CAN TALK," and Suigetsu would be like, "THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPARROWS AND ANTHROPOMORPHIC SUMMON DUCKS, DUH." Although why they'd think someone would bother to summon ducks is beyond me.

*blush* Thank you! I RP him, so I spend a lot of time in his voice.

KARIN IS AWESOME AWESOMECAKES AND I HATE HOW THE FANDOM CHARACTERIZES HER, UGH. It's like, "Well, if you're going to hate on her and bash her and act like all she ever does is fap over Sasuke (which is untrue), THEN MAYBE YOU JUST DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE AN AWESOME CHARACTER LIKE HER." >C

Hee~ I love that episode.

[digthenym.livejournal.com]

AGREEMENT! ALSO IT IS TOTALLY POSSIBLE TO LIKE *BOTH* KARIN AND SAKURA!

Karin's a lot smarter than she lets on, I can't wait to see what's revealed about her character and where she fits into the overall scheme of things. ((Because I refuse to believe that her superficial side is anything but an act))

Would you mind terribly if I friend you? :o)

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

OF COURSE IT IS POSSIBLE! JUST LIKE IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIKE BOTH CHOCOLATE-CHIP MINT ICE CREAM AND ROCKY ROAD. THEY ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE--JUST MUTUALLY AWESOME.

Oh...my gosh, you just took the words out of my brain and wrote them down. I am constantly going on about how Karin totally has some nefarious plot up her sleeve and that her reactions to Sasuke are completely suspect and how her stated motives don't line up with her actions and skaljsakldal BE MY BEST FRIEND.

Of course not! In fact, I don't know why I haven't friended you yet. *goes to do so*

[digthenym.livejournal.com]

Yay new friend!

EXACTLY. I am sooo tired of Karin bashing just for the sake of her getting in the way of Sasuke x Sakura (I always feel the need to remind people that if ANYONE is getting in the way of Sasuke x Sakura it's SASUKE).

Karin totally has some nefarious plot up her sleeve and that her reactions to Sasuke are completely suspect and how her stated motives don't line up with her actions

YES. I think she's still working as an agent for Orochimaru/Kabuto and there's going to be this whole WHAT A TWEEST moment when Sasuke realizes the reason why she was always hanging off of him was to collect DNA samples or something.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

I hate character bashing for "he/she gets in the way of x pairing" so much.

I think she's still working as an agent for Orochimaru/Kabuto and there's going to be this whole WHAT A TWEEST moment when Sasuke realizes the reason why she was always hanging off of him was to collect DNA samples or something.

I like this. A LOT.

[keepdreamingxx.livejournal.com]

xDD That was good~~~

lol I wonder if I should try to do this. ): Dunno what I would do, though.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

Aww, but you've never even met Team Hawk! D: THEY ARE AWESOME WIN, OKAY? BASICALLY SASUKE ADOPTS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST AS MESSED UP AS HE IS, ONLY SEVEN TIMES AS FUNNY. IT'S FRIGGING ADORABLE.

You should do it! :D It's fun.

[heartsawakening.livejournal.com]

I know, but it was still good. XDD I don't have to know about it to read it. =P Thaaat's what I get for being in multifandom RPGs.

yeah but. ): I don't know how to... write. ............yep.

Oh, were you going to have Itachi come into the Sasuke and Kairi thread? Kairi just brought him back to where his room is... so.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

XD We'll have to get some members of Team Hawk to join Dollsy. (except our Sasuke is seven years old, omg omg omg best thing ever, ahahaha because Karin would be like, "OH GOD I'M A PEDOPHILE NOW D:" and Juugo would want to carry him around on his shoulders because no one can resist mini-Sasuke and Suigetsu would not stop laughing and fffffff)

Oh! they've made it now? Sure, he'll jump right in.

[richandcareless.livejournal.com]

Yeah... we also need a larger KH and Ouran cast, ftw. I totally put some 'shameless' advertising on dear_mun about that... XD;

From what I saw of the pic of Suigetsu on wikipedia, he looks like Riku. o_o;

Okay. ;] Yeah, Sasuke just flung open the door, rofl.

[guiltypacifist.livejournal.com]

Oh, def. I still need to app Riku, but I'm thinking that will end up happening after school gets out.

Not...really. He has adorable big sharky teef, though. :B One of my favorite Naruto characters, honestly. He's this big Snark Warrior and not even Sasuke impresses him XD

[heartsawakening.livejournal.com]

jkdskfjdsjfj Riku~~~~~~~ ahahaha I'm so excited. :D B-BUT WHAT ABOUT ITACHI/KAIRI ROFL. I was totally imagining a RP with Riku, Kairi and Itachi, and Itachi and Riku would just be glaring at each other.

..well he has silver hair. XD

[guiltypacifist.livejournal.com]

PFFFFF OMFG THAT TRIANGLE IS FREAKING GOLD. Like, Riku'd be completely intimidated by Itachi, but also like, "I WILL NOT LOSE TO YOU, SIR," and Itachi'd be like, "ffff whatever, as if I'm even remotely capable of love *ice mask*," and Kairi'd be like, "ARGH, HOT CHILDHOOD FRIEND WHO SACRIFICED EVERYTHING FOR ME, OR SUPER SUPER HOT EMOTIONALLY DAMAGED GUY THAT I CAN NURSE BACK TO HEALTH BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, WHAT TO CHOOSE?"

He does, I'll give you that. :P

[heartsawakening.livejournal.com]

XD But it's be kind of weird if you were RPing both of them...

BUT ITACHI WOULD STILL BE KIND OF JEALOUS.

Sir. pfffffft like Riku would ever use that word unless it was mocking.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

Yeah, therein lies the problem. :C Probably they'll rarely interact.

MAYBE.

Oh, I totally meant it in a mocking way there XD

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed writing it. And yet I don't want it to happen in canon, at all, ever. And yet, I really enjoy it.

sjksljskl I don't know when my brain stopped making sense.
