Snippet #10:

Gift

Only one so naïve wouldn't realize that every gift came with strings.

Category: Anime/Manga » Gakuen Alice.

Title: Plums and Lemons » Snippet #10 : Gift.

Characters: Narumi, Misaki

Genre: Friendship/Drama.

Rating: K+.

Status: Complete.

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. :)

Surprise

Because nothing can ever surprise Narumi. Or so he says.

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

I was so inspired to write that I finished this in my scratch paper.

Snippet #08:

Promise

Narumi didn't make a promise he didn't intend to keep.

Category: Anime/Manga » Gakuen Alice.
Title: Plums and Lemons » Snippet #08 : Promise.
Characters: Narumi, and a young lady of sixteen.
Genre: General.
Rating: K+.

Status: Complete.

For the record, the young lady is not Yuka, or whoever that person everyone keeps talking about in their reviews. Let's be clear: I don't read the manga, so I can't make allusions to that.

For those who are curious, I was thinking only one character while writing, and that's the same character in my Mischief Equals Mayhem. (I mentioned specifics, like the color of the eyes. as well as the six-year age gap.) Although, I'm giving everyone the liberty to imagine the young woman to be whoever they want. Hey, we don't know what happened to Narumi at twenty-two, do we? (Or at least I don't, haha; I don't know what the manga says about it, if it does.)

Regardless, who she is ain't the point; the promise and Narumi's mind-set about it is.

I simply don't think Narumi is one who breaks promises, or even makes those he can't keep. Because he's awesome like that.

'Probably the most controversial snippet ever.

Snippet #07:

Truth

"You punched Narumi-sensei in the face?" Hotaru asked.
Natsume huffed. "He deserved it."

Category: Anime/Manga » Gakuen Alice.
Title: Plums and Lemons » Snippet #07 : Truth.
Characters: Natsume, Hotaru, and a mention of Narumi.

This needed to be written, after the responses for the previous one. ;)

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*

Snippet #06:

Improbable

“I just called him a spineless wimp. He didn’t have to be so violent.” 

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

Category: Anime/Manga » Gakuen Alice.
Title: Plums and Lemons » Snippet #06 : Improbable.
Characters: Narumi, Misaki, with the special participation of a certain flame caster.
Genre: Humor.
Rating: K+.

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
