Ten-Request Meme

Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] labellementeuse

The first 10 people to comment on this post get to request a drabble (or ficlet, if I feel like it) on a subject/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal (not that I'd enforce it if I could, but that's how it supposedly goes). Post all fandoms you're willing to write(/draw) for.

Fandoms:
X-Men (and satellites) (may include X-Project)
Harry Potter
Young Wizards
Neopets
Abhorsen (warning: I don't have the books with me)
Star Wars (warning: limited knowledge of EU and obscure movie details)
Enchanted Forest Chronicles
Winnie the Pooh
Vor (...maybe?)
write-ins may be considered, especially since I suspect I'm forgetting something

Special Rules: If I'm not able or willing to do your request in good faith due to cluelessness, differences in interpretation, or sheer defeat (such as discovering I can't do a decent Miles-voice; I have no idea), I will ask if you want something else or reinterpret wildly. Though I suppose I could probably do a hundred words of almost anything; whether they'd be any good or just embarrass us both is another question.

Edit: First ten people to comment requesting a ficlet! There are considerably more comments than requests, as I've filled the first few in the comments and some people have responded further. I'm currently at 6 requests, 6 completed. (Maybe I should give them their own posts?)

Unless I'm imagining things (which is possible), there's a reference in A Wizard Abroad to part of Ronan's Ordeal specifically addressing and challenging his response to the idea of Ireland being invaded.

I meant to spend proportionately more of the story on what it was like to take in the sea, but the argument sort of took over the middle, and I let it.

Glad you liked it!

I think the way you did it was better, because it seemed to me that the real crux of his Ordeal wans't taking in the sea, but learning to see the invaders as fellow human beings worthy of aid.

I think you're right. The crux of Dairine's wasn't holding the stars still, either.
