Title: Mideelian Cuisine Made (not so) E-Z
Author: joudama
Fandom: FF7
Rating: PG
Word count: 1000ish
Prompt: Genesis's last attempt (and that's last as in never again) at baking.
Summary: If you can't find a place that can make it for you, you'll just have to make it your own damned self.
AN: ...This was supposed to be a commentfic on my insanejournal when I asked from prompts. It ended up so long I just made it a fic of its own, especially after I caught some typos and a half-done sentence. >XD;; And milopita is a Greek apple "pastry"/pie/cake thing. :D

Title: Ienai
Author: joudama
Fandom: Metal Gear Solid
Rating: PG
Word count: 900-ish
Summary: For you, some things cannot be spoken; cannot be healed.
Song Prompt: Birdcage - Gackt
A/N: Written for fictunes.
The title, "Ienai," is Japanese, and I picked it for three reasons:

1. Otacon (Hal Emmerich) is a giant anime otaku; you know that man knows Japanese.
2. The line in "Birdcage" I genked the title from is 「悲しみは癒えない」 [kanashimi wa ienai]--"my loneliness can't be healed."
3. In Japanese, the words for "can't be healed," 「癒えない」, and "can't be spoken," 「言えない」, are homonyms--the kanji are different, but they're pronounced the same, "ienai."

This takes place after MGS2 and assumes you know Otacon's terrible, awful backstory. ;_; If not, here, take a moment to watch this clip and feel your heart getting pulled out and stomped on. "E.E" is Emma Emmerich, Otacon's step-sister. Until the clip, he hadn't seen her since she was six. And that dumb bird was hers.

Title: Soft
Fandom: Metal Gear Solid
Rating: PG
Word count: @1330
Summary: Hal Emmerich is soft, and what is soft is malleable.
A/N: ...I've spent the last few days watching MGS walkthroughs, and Otacon is officially my favorite woobie nerdboy. This takes place right after the Otacon ending for MGS1.

You don't really need to know who the characters are, but hey, just in case: Hal Emmerich/Otacon and Solid Snake (warning, that wiki page for Hal tells his terrible backstory right off the bat.) During the game, they looked like this.

...I'm still like "WTF, MGS fanfic, I'm writing what?" Self-depreciating LOL @ self.

Title: Deadly Sweet Mother
Author: joudama
Fandom: FF7
Warnings: Child abuse of the Bad Touch variety. x_x
Word count: 1900ish
Summary: Deadly sweet mother, with hatred, nausea blooms.
A\N: ...I hate my brain. ;_; Anything inspired by the fucked-up version of Dir en Grey's "embryo" is not going to be a happy, functional story. If I never write another fic like this, GOOD. I disturbed myself with this.

Oh, and "Chímaira" references a fic I did recently, "The Griffin and the Chimera." I also made up names for Genesis' parents. Pillaging Greek mythology FTW.

And I'd like booze now.

See, I made the mistake of downloading all the songs up for fictunes last night, and sticking them on my iPod before I headed out to work so see if anything grabbed me.

Yeah, well, I got grabbed, and HARD. And I do mean hard; it's been gnawing at me all day, and I finally am writing it now, now that I've found the section off youtube I need from a certain scene in Crisis Core.

This is ALL the fault of this song and Ein Sof. It's not part of Ein Sof, but...yeah. Maybe the same 'verse or something. I'm going to finish it tonight if I can, because otherwise it won't leave me alone. I don't even like Aerith that much (because CC Aerith is a flake, I'm sorry. FLAAAAAAAKE, and unfortunately CC was my big introduction to canon Aerith [c.f, jou sucks at gaming and can't actually get through FF7,] and she was a flake. This makes me sad), but. ...*sniffle* This plot bunny was one that made me go, "*shoulderslump* ...shit," so. I warn any of you now before you read it. It made me make sadface.

And this fic makes me sad as I'm writing it, and I'm glad I splurged and bought a piece cake on the way home and that I haven't eaten it yet. Damn you, Squeenix, for killing Zack. I won't forgive you for that ever.

...and it doesn't help that I can't hear Aerith's Theme without automatically setting "Ave Maria" to it, after discovering that the words fit the melody line really well. So whenever I hear it, I start singing "Ave, ave! Ave Maria, grazia plena dominus tecum..." to myself.

ETA! And it's done! Something Delicate.
