Catalyst's Writing

12 January 2009 @ 10:54 pm

Genre: The Chronicles of Narnia
Title: The Call
Chapter Title: Choice (005/100)
Author:

catalyst283
Word count: 355
Rating: G
Warnings: More angst, sorry. D:
Notes: This is another image that I just could not get out of my head, as much as I tried. It needed to be written. I’m not sure if anyone else has thought of this—it is just one of the many takes I have on this…choice, this action. Also, I must note that this is most likely an AU from the other drabbles I’ve written. Whether or not it fits with movie canon is up to you…

Oh and this drabble contains a slightly different Caspian and a slightly different Susan than from the movie--older, most likely, and their relationship is portrayed as being much deeper (I dunno if I want to say more intimate, exactly, but...deeper than just a kiss and some interaction here and there that was in the movie...) here than the movie portrayed it. (The drabble doesn't explicitly imply this, but I feel it is necessary to note with the ending being what it is and all...)

The Call (#4: Ponderings)

Genre: The Chronicles of Narnia
Title: The Call
Chapter Title: Ponderings (004/100)
Author:

catalyst283
Word count: 170
Rating: G
Warnings: Meh, short and kind of emotionless. :/ It’s exploring the mind process of one character, mostly.
Notes: This drabble is a kind of sequel to my last drabble, “Connected”. Take that as you will. :3

The Call (#3: Connected)

Genre: The Chronicles of Narnia
Title: The Call
Chapter Title: Connected (003/100)
Author:

catalyst283
Word count: 207
Rating: G
Warnings: it’s a little abstract and vague at first for a reason—why it’s like this will make sense after you’ve finished it
Notes: A curious image that’s been in and out of my head today. Not quite fluff, but definitely happier than the angst I’ve been writing lately. xD

The Call (#2: Expectations)

Genre: The Chronicles of Narnia
Title: The Call
Chapter Title: Expectations (002/100)
Author:

catalyst283
Word count: 446
Rating: G
Warnings: lots and lots of thoughts and rhetorical questions
Notes: This one took a lot longer to write—hopefully it all makes sense in the end. Some inspiration for the piece came from the theological argument in “The Brothers Karamazov”. Kudos to those who know what I’m talking about.

Oh and I've now got the story also up on fanfiction.net over here, if you're interested. :)

The Call (#1: Pretend)

Genre: The Chronicles of Narnia
Title: The Call
Chapter Title: Pretend (001/100)
Author:

catalyst283
Word count: 201
Rating: G
Warnings: angst, great sadness
Notes: I had just read some heart-wrenching Susan/Caspian fics when I thought of this. It came unexpected—and at the wrong time (I still have homework to finish…)—but it wouldn’t leave me alone until I wrote it, so here you go. I promise you that all 100 of these drabbles won’t be this sad. Some will, but not all. I am a hopeless romantic and a sucker for happy endings, after all.

Oh and welcome to my second set of 100 drabbles. I definitely won’t be writing one every day this time, however. And I cannot believe I talked myself into doing this again…

*Last note: this is my very first Narnia fic--ever--so sorry if characterization is a bit off.

100 Days, 100 Drabbles (#100: Sozin's Comet)

Genre: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Title: 100 Days, 100 Drabbles
Chapter Title: Sozin’s Comet (100/100)
Author:

catalyst283
Word count: 100, 100, 100 and 100 ;)
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Notes: THE END IS HERE. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who took the time to read and review ALL one hundred of these—and thanks also to anyone who stopped by to check out any number of these drabbles! They wouldn’t have been completed without the support of all of my readers—thank you so much! And here’s to the end—cheers! Hope you enjoy this last drabble.

And actually, there’s FOUR drabbles in one ~~because I love you all so much~~ because I figured the finale was SO big that I should take a little bit from each part/episode of the finale and make a drabble for each part/episode. :]

Last note for those missing any of the drabbles: All of these drabbles can either be found on my LJ (

catalyst283) or on my fanfiction.net profile (fearlessgurl283). The direct link (to the first drabble) on fanfiction.net is here.

----------

Sozin’s Comet

----------

( I’m against killing him…because I just can’t end things this way. )

---------

( He feels the tears coming as he envelops his nephew into a hug and he closes his eyes in true happiness. )

---------

( This Avatar has seen and done nothing—nothing compared to what he has done. )

----------

( We are so very different—but it only took one thing to bring us all together. )

100 Days, 100 Drabbles (#97: The Boiling Rock)

Genre: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Title: 100 Days, 100 Drabbles
Chapter Title: The Boiling Rock (097/100)
Author:

catalyst283
Word count: 200
Rating: PG
Warnings: more inner ramblings from yet another character—this one with very intriguing thoughts
Notes: Second quote is actually not from the episode—it’s a couple sentences of my own making, from drabble #037: Existence. The funny thing is that I wrote that drabble before this episode and obviously before the finale. I knew Azula too well, I guess—knew (been writing) her long enough to know she’d have a meltdown before she actually did. xD

------------

( Possessing no longer an expressionless face is a testament to my shock—I truly never saw this coming. )

Author:

Word count: 648!

Warnings: more ramblings…this time from a different character.
Notes: I figured after the last drabble I didn’t need to do another one with Zuko and/or Katara. xD That’s where this one came from—or at least started from, anyway. This was supposed to be a drabble—short and sweet—but once I got writing I just couldn’t stop.

So enjoy…quite the long drabble that it is. XD

-------------

( I had only one element left—and very little time to master it in. Even worse was the fact that…well, I was scared. )

Notes: Ehh, I hate first person perspective. But first person is needed to make this drabble truly effective, so…

100 Days, 100 Drabbles (#93: Nightmares and Daydreams)

Genre: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Title: 100 Days, 100 Drabbles
Chapter Title: Nightmares and Daydreams (093/100)
Author: catalyst283
Word count: 100
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Notes: I had a hard time with this ending—I went to look up “umpteenth” in the dictionary to make sure I had the right idea what the definition was—and in doing so, completely lost my train of thought. So I’m sure the rest of the sentence was infinitely better originally (in my head), but this was all I could come up with afterward and type up…

Also, sorry this is a week or so after the last update; I’ve been working in the day and watching Michael Phelps at night. XD

Notes: I know some of you are probably wondering what happened to me yesterday—I’m alright, mostly—there’s just been some problems at home that will be keeping me from being able to update every day like I’ve been doing, sadly enough. D: So while I will try to get all the drabbles finished (up until the episodes that have NOT yet been released, which I will wait for), I don’t know which days will be the days when I’ll be able to update and so forth.

Please stick with me, I’m trying to get matters sorted out as soon as possible. :)

Notes: Avatarspirit.net, why did you have to betray me so with your LACK of a transcript for this episode? ;_; I had to go to wikiquote, and could only find ONE good quote to use! ._. It’s better than nothing, I guess, and the quote itself was a pretty powerful one, though a bit redundant. ^^;; (The drabble makes it different, though :3)

( But mostly, I think (and it is a secret that I will never tell) it was because of her... )
