On the eighth day of Christmas

my true love sent to me

eight phone calls of note

In which people are on the adventures (or just finished them) and want to tell their families, but maybe can't find the words (or can't even try).

[Title] Shibuya Sunday
[Fandom] Jet Set Radio
[Rating] PG
[Notes/Summary] Cube and Combo are staying in their new home. Sometimes it's hard to tell family that.

( She'd probably have hauled off and punched him if she'd thought he was pitying her )

[Title] Blood Sunset
[Fandom] Death Note
[Rating] PG-13, but only for some slightly violent description
[Notes/Summary] Aizawa calls his wife after the Kira case concludes.

( The sun's going down now )

[Title] Land
[Fandom] Death Note
[Rating] G
[Notes/Summary] The SPK call home as each of them returns to normal life. Each character's background is borrowed from still_lycoris's fic Jump, and really this kind of turned out a companion piece to that ^^

( 1: Hal (Halle) )

( 2: Gevanni (Stephen) )

( 3: Rester (Anthony) )

[Title] Phone Home
[Fandom] Ashes to Ashes
[Rating] G
[Notes/Summary] Alex has a lot of people she'd like to call.

( If she just wanted it enough she could find a line to 2008 )

[Title] Being a Revolutionary
[Fandom] Battle Royale (manga)
[Rating] G
[Notes/Summary] AU where slightly more people made it out of the Program. Kayoko calls her mother for the last time.

( She should be keeping herself going )

[Title] Put Your Affairs in Order
[Fandom] Death Note
[Rating] PG
[Notes/Summary] Mello doesn't see the point of mushy phone calls anyway.

( Like he's trying to make his past mean something )
