Multifandom Drabble’s collection opened today and I was gifted four (!) absolutely amazing drabbles so have a quick rec list:
 

A Very Special Episode by tuesday (Slime Rancher, Beatrix)
Some people want to do more than ranch slimes.

rolled a 20 in persuasion by io2 (Homestuck, Aradia & Tavros)
Aradia encourages Tavros to team up with her. 

tricks by SkyRose (Stranger Things, El & Max)
“Teach me,” El stated, holding Max’s skateboard. 

Dance Lessons by Sholio (Stranger Things, Steve & the kids)
The kids want to learn to dance for the Snow Ball. Steve regrets his life choices. 


And the two drabbles I wrote:

Little Rebellions or 4 Things Regina George must never, ever know (Mean Girls, Gretchen Wieners)
Common Ground (Final Fantasy 9, Vivi & Quan)

Share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.

FFX-2 gets a bad rap, but I’ve always enjoyed Yuna’s speech to Nooj. ‘We have no choice but to go along with this terrible terrible plan’ is a really common trope, and it’s not like there’s no value in acknowledging that sometimes all your options really do suck and you still have to pick one, but it’s so rarely done in a way that doesn't feel forced to me, and it’s nice for once to have a character go ‘nope, screw it, I’ve been down this road before and it blows’.

It’s also just a really good conclusion to Yuna’s character arc, from being willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the world to talking Nooj out of a similarly self-destructive plan.
