This was supposed to be a snippet, and it's supposed to be titled Heart. Unfortunately it refused to be concluded - not until it was well past 1000+ words, which is not a snippet anymore. I didn't want to ditch it after taking the time to actually finish it, so I posted it as a one-shot. Besides, Persona needs more love. And fan fictions.

This was prompted by the manga I've been reading, Hana to Akuma (I still insist that Vivi looks a lot like Natsume. A WHOLE FRIKKIN LOT). There was a chapter there about birthdays, which was just funny and random and sweet; I thought I'd write something like it. 

I'm thinking of making this another collection, this time not exclusively about Narumi. I've about a ton of snippet-turned-one-shot that need to be posted out there. And besides it's really fun to mess with Persona and Narumi.

Best part of the fic (at least for me):

"Celebrating old age, Narumi? How interesting. Congratulations on being a step closer to death," Persona said unfeelingly, his cynical smirk as if to remind everyone that he wielded the alice of death.


Yaaay Persona. 

Inspired by Demi Lovato's Gift of a Friend (it's wonderful, I swear it!). Dedicated to Cara and Juliette. :)

Gift

Because we all know that the best gift we can ever receive is friendship. :)

This snippet contains allusion to Azure Yacht (that lovely restaurant from The Game of Let's Pretend) - it's where Misaki is celebrating his 21st birthday. I've also given bits of my interpretation of Misaki's life, including how he feels about his parents' business associates and the party which had been arranged for him.

I don't know how the manga illustrates Misaki's life outside the Academy, if it does. Please overlook any inconsistency, as all interpretation of Misaki in this snippet are mine.

Because I wanted to post something on my birthday last September 11. Yaaay. :)

'Probably the silliest snippet I've ever written. Oh, well; that's the fun part! :)

Two months ago, I posted Catching the Sands of Time, my Noda-centric fan fiction. In her review for this, my dearest YinYang Equinox had innocently suggested for me to write a Misaki-centric fan fiction as well. I had absolutely no intention of answering to this suggestion, even saying,

"Nah, I'm not too interested in Misaki. His alice is quite boring, and I'm not entirely sure how to interpret what kind of past or present or future he had/has/will have."

But then inspiration struck, and despite myself I actually easily came up with a plot for what Laika exactly asked for: a Misaki-centric, multi-chaptered fan fiction.

As far as I’ve outlined, I can only assure everyone that it will be an interesting take on Misaki’s character. An entirely different perspective, I daresay. And yes, it will be sinful, scandalous, and oh! deliciously wicked - enough to make you giggle like a schoolgirl. I'm very excited for this, and I hope to find the time soon to start working on this.

Just author alert me if you’re interested. ;)

Because I pulled through my exams just fine! *happy dance*

Improbable

Misaki sighed. “And you wonder why Natsume Hyuuga tried to kill you.”

I really, truly believe that Narumi would be the only one person who would ever dare to call Natsume a spineless wimp to his face. Admit it; Natsume can be such a wimp most times. :D

I should really stop posting snippets when I have exams each and every day of the week. Psh.

It's the lamest thing ever, I know, hahaha. I was going to include this in one of the TGOLP chapters, but, uh, well. I forgot. So I decided it would have its place in my snippet collection instead. =P

So I was supposed to be writing the 11th chapter of Mischief Equals Mayhem, but I got distracted, which is nothing new. I wrote another Narumi snippet instead.

It's basically a spin-off of the first part of the 11th chapter of Mischief Equals Mayhem, my other on-going Narumi fic.

Well that's about it, because I really don't have much to say. When I write snippets, it's either because I had too much sugar (and therefore giddy and skippy), or I feel boring (not bored, but boring), or I'm sleepy, or I don't feel like talking to people. The last three apply this time, so yeah.

Later.

Schoolwork can really be so inspiring, especially when it comes to writing fan fictions. A couple of nights ago I had this sudden flash of inspiration, partly because of Facebook and partly because of my exam yesterday. Before finishing my paper for Creative Writing class (which took more than five hours and nineteen frickin’ pages), I made an off the cuff decision to write the idea I had in mind.

It took only five minutes, and what turned out was a 600-word snippet about Narumi yet again. Since it’s painfully short and almost pointless, I decided to post it as a second part of my first Narumi-centric snippet, Oversleep. I changed its title to Odds and Ends.

Odds and Ends is a collection of snippets about Narumi and his awesomeness. Painfully short, random, and mostly pointless, everything I post for the collection will be written in five (or ten) minutes or less, like it says right there. *points below* If it takes more than that, I’ll scrap it.

Odds and Ends

Bite-sized pieces of Narumi’s awesomeness.

Courage

“It took you ONE minute to answer the essay and you get a higher grade than I do?” Misaki snapped as he glared at Narumi. “Let me see your paper!”

I didn’t mention what class exactly it is in the snippet, but let me assure you that it's definitely not English. Because if it were English or any sort of writing class, Narumi would have been so dead with his essay, haha.

Just this Wednesday I had quite the same experience, when I took my exam. (These are bonus questions, okay?)

Q: Is ‘balut’ egg or meat? Justify your answer.
My answer: Uh, egg? Because it’s inside an EGGshell?

I was so headdesk after the exam. Haha!

Q: About how many stones does the sculpture blah blah stand on?

My classmate's answer: 1k, where k is the constant that represents the number of stones that the sculpture stands on.

Pure win! :D

Eh, going back to Odds and Ends. I’m not certain how many snippets I’ll post, since I will write only when inspiration strikes. Just the same, add it to your story alert if you're interested.
