Mod Post: Round 3 Lightning Drabble Round (Open to Everyone!)

Hello!

The mod team ([livejournal.com profile] roebling and myself, [livejournal.com profile] almostblue) just want to say again that we are so incredibly grateful to everyone who has written, read, and commented for this third round of TBB. Thank you for your time and effort and talent! It's been amazing to see so much great enthusiasm and energy!

While we wait for the last few stories to get posted, we're going to hold a Lightning Drabble Round!

Before I get into what that means, I want to introduce this year's honorary mods for the lightning round - [livejournal.com profile] i_luv_tvxq, (you may know her as @TVXQluff) and [livejournal.com profile] akmongs (@himchanni), who runs bapfanfiction. They are both wonderful people who keep the fandom running through recs, comments and kudos, quietly and without much fanfare. We think they're great, and we wanted to thank them for all of their hard work over the years.


So as this round progresses, feel free to ask them questions as well! If [livejournal.com profile] roebling and I aren't around (or aren't...awake, ahaha, timezones /o\) they are here to help you out :)

Our hope is that the Lightning Drabble Round will be a fast, fun, low pressure opportunity for everyone to keep writing a little bit more! Here's how it will work:

1) If you want to participate, comment on this entry with a pairing you'd like to write. Please keep it to one comment per pairing.

2) A mod (any mod!) will reply with 3-5 random one word prompts.

For example, you might comment with the pairing DaeJae. A mod will reply to your comments with the prompts: apple, blonde, sneakers, failure, nuna

3) You have until September 13th to write as many drabbles as you want based on those prompts! All the drabbles you write should be under 1,000 words. They can use any of the words, all of the words, whatever you want. Post your fics as replies to the mod comment, and title them like this:[prompt, pairing, rating, warnings] in the heading of the comment. There's no assigned posting times or deadlines, so you can post 'em as you write 'em!

You don't have to have participated in the exchange to take part in the lightening round! Anon commenting will be enabled so anon participants should also be able to take part. It's low stakes, so if you can only write one drabble based on your prompt, that's absolutely fine. 10 drabbles? Fine too! Real life gets in the way and you can't write at all? We get it.

If there are any questions we haven't answered just comment below and we'll try to answer them right away! Otherwise, that's it! Lightning Drabble Round starts now, and runs until 9/13! Hwaiting!!!

THE LIGHTNING ROUND IS NOW CLOSED! Please stay tuned for an updated masterlist shortly!

photograph & raindrop, bangup, pg, it's so sweet that you'll get cavities

The air was cool and there was a fresh breeze coming through the window. Yongguk rolled over on his side and felt no warmth on his side. He opened his eyes and saw that the figure was no longer there. He furrowed his eyebrows and sat up, wondering where his lover is. Suddenly, a flash of brown hair and a dark orange shirt appeared in front of him.

"Good morning, sleepy bear," Jongup cooed, straddling his waist.

Yongguk chuckled and kissed his forehead softly, noticing the Polaroid camera in his hand.

"What'cha got there?" he asked him.

Jongup said nothing and took a quick photo of him. Yongguk blinked and stared at him.

"What are you doing?" Yongguk asked again.

"For photographic evidence. I never get a photo of you when you just wake up," Jongup explained, taking the black Polaroid photo from the camera.

Yongguk reached up to snatch the photo, but Jongup held it higher, which caused Yongguk to sit up and grab it from him. Jongup laughed and landed on the bed. Yongguk took control of the Polaroid camera and lay down next to him, holding the camera out smiling, causing Jongup to smile. He took the photo with the flash and the photo rolled out.

"Where did you find this?" Yongguk asked him, sitting back up. "And are you wearing my shirt?"

"I found it when I was cleaning some stuff out yesterday. I found this in a box that says 'will take out later' on it. I found this, along with this shirt and a coffee maker I didn't know you had," Jongup explained.

"How do you know it's mine?" he asked.

"It said 'Property of Yongguk' on the front," he pointed out, sitting back on his boyfriend's lap and took a quick photo of him.

"You're gonna waste the film on just me," Yongguk stated.

"Nonsense. Why would I waste the film on a precious moment like this?" Jongup asked, laying his chin on his chest.

Yongguk chuckled and pecked his lips lightly.

"You do know that this means that we have to get up, right?" Yongguk told him.

Jongup whined and buried his head into Yongguk's chest. "I don't wanna. It's Sunday and I don't wanna get up on a Sunday," he whined.

Yongguk ran his fingers through Jongup's hair softly and kissed his forehead softly.

"If you come into bed with me right now, we can relax and enjoy the Sunday morning for now," Yongguk promised.

Jongup only nodded his head and got comfortable next to Yongguk. He kissed his cheek, while taking the photo.

"How many photos do you have?" Yongguk asked him, looking at the now visible photographs.

"Six now. One from when I found it, another when I took a selfie with it, and then three this morning," Jongup answered, letting the photo dry out.

Yongguk said nothing and held onto Jongup's waist. This was nice. However, they began to hear soft pitter patter from outside. The two looked out the window and saw raindrops falling from the sky.

"It's raining," Jongup pointed out.

"More like it's sprinkling," Yongguk said, looking at the raindrops falling on the ledge.

He heard a snap and out of the corner of his eye saw a flash. He turned his head back to Jongup, who smiled innocently at him.

"The moment was so nice that I had to," Jongup explained.

Yongguk chuckled and crawled back to bed, motioning for Jongup to lie beside him. Jongup set the camera down on the bedside table and crawled next to him. He lay beside him and snuggled up to him, feeling the warmth that vibrated off him.

"This is nice, lying next to you like this," Jongup muttered, kissing his lips lightly.

Yongguk smiled and held him close to his body. He closed his eyes and knew that Jongup was the mold that fit next to him. The sound of raindrops hitting the ledge could still be heard from outside on this Sunday morning. Nothing could break this moment now.

The perfect serene moment was ruined by Jongup's loud ringing phone that the two knew to be from Himchan.

"If we ignore it, he'll stop calling," Jongup muttered, already falling asleep.

The phone rang twice in a row, until it stopped. The two fell back to sleep in their warmth and the cool crisp breeze from the rain.

Everything was perfect.

Until Himchan came through the door, screeching why those two idiots haven't woken up yet.

Well it was almost perfect.

orange, bangup, pg, none

With their first kiss, Jongup noted that it tasted like orange. It was possibly due to the fact that Yongguk ate three oranges that day.

It was around the holidays. The six decided to have New Years in their dorm, since the streets were extremely congested and there was no way that they were going to get to their families to celebrate the new year. The six of them gathered around and poured cider into their champagne glasses, toasting to the New Year.

"As much as I love to celebrate with you guys, when are you gonna get rid of the Christmas decorations?" Zelo asked them.

"We'll do that tomorrow in the morning. It looks festive," Himchan said.

"You mean the staff is going to do it? They always do it every year," Yongguk stated, drinking out from the glass.

"Sure whatever. The point is is that it's staying up for a few more days," Himchan stated.

Jongup sat in front of the television and watched the people in downtown Seoul to watch the ball drop. The others were moving around, moving from one room to another. Jongup grew restless and went to the kitchen to see if there was already pre-made food that he could eat cold. Jongup opened the fridge and saw hardly any food inside. He closed the fridge, and then opened it again. He sighed to himself and took the orange that was located in the back. He began to peel the skin off the orange and took a few bites from the slices.

"I forgot we had oranges in the fridge," a voice said.

Jongup looked up and saw Yongguk placing the leftover glasses in the sink. Jongup offered some orange slices to Yongguk.

"Do you want one?" he asked.

Yongguk took two slices and ate them.

"What are your plans for the new year?" Yongguk asked him.

Jongup only shrugged. He really didn't have a clue. "I don't know. I want to write some lyrics, but I need motivation," he answered.

"I can help you if you want," Yongguk offered.

Jongup's heart skips a beat. It's no secret that the dancer has a bit of a crush on the leader. Almost everybody knew, but it seemed that either Yongguk knew, but didn't really say anything or he's really that dense. Jongup was about to open his mouth to answer, until Himchan called them over.

"The ball's about to drop! Are you two really gonna miss it?" Himchan called out.

Jongup ate the last of the orange slice and began to walk out with Yongguk, who followed right behind him, but was soon stopped.

"You two are under the mistletoe!" Daehyun pointed out, pointing at something above them.

The two furrowed their eyebrows and looked up, seeing the green mistletoe with a bright red ribbon stapled onto the doorframe. Jongup was sure that it wasn't there before before.

"You two have to kiss! Rules are rules!" Youngjae stated.

Jongup suddenly feels uncomfortable. His friends began to chant 'kiss him kiss him kiss him' until Yongguk finally had enough and kissed Jongup on the lips. Hard. Jongup could feel his teeth clashing with Yongguk's, but could still taste the leftover orange flavor on his lips. Yongguk broke the kiss and looked into Jongup's eyes. The moment was broken when the four began to cheer and laugh. The two rolled their eyes and sat down on the couch to watch the ball drop.

Jongup touched his lips lightly. He could still taste the orange on his lips.
