Well, I've been lurking for quite a while now and thought it was about time that I made a contribution to the community both in respect of drabbles and comments. All of the wonderful entries to previous challenges inspired me to write a drabble of my own, which I'm entering for this challenge with some trepidation, given my less-than-exemplary writing skills and knowledge of KH. I apologise if what I've written doesn't meet the criteria for the challenge, the idea just ran away with me.
I expect that you'll all find this drabble quite confusing, since I've dispensed with names entirely and only used pronouns. There is a reason for this (really!) but I won't bore you with it at present.
Challenge: Kodak Moment.
Title: Over and over.
Word Count: 150.
Pairing: Sephiroth + Ansem or Ansem + Sephiroth. I'm not quite sure who'd be dominant.
Warnings: Sex implied. Overuse of religious imagery. Confusing.
He was the sum of a thousand abstractions, of infinitesimal fragments of countless sleepless nights, ethereal and fleeting and made flesh just to tempt him. A fantasy as corporeal as the rain in which he'd arrived - unheralded - on his doorstep, sodden and wanting.
Sin was the pink smear of his mouth as it parodied his virtue with its irrefutable eloquence; his open door and open arms an aching testament to a persuasion that had promised him all he should never have wanted.
But he did; and, like a saint ensnared by feathered wings, a righteous man hung by the hypocrisy of his own need, he'd, with shameful fervour, cast his caution to the inclemency that now embraced them both.
And thus, frail and lustful and imperfect, the very anathema of godliness, he watched his pretensions die in time with the sweet entreaties of his other. Over and over.

*laughs and pats dictionary* Thank you. ^^
I agree with what you said about the nature of the Sephiroth/Ansem relationship; I, too, could only see it as plausible if it was based around lust. They are, in some ways, too similar, perhaps, to afford each other the kind of emotional completion necessary for love to bloom.
'And I wanna know your reason that you mentioned!'
Well, actually there are three reasons why I decided to dispense with names in favour of pronouns.
The first of these is thematic. My premise for this drabble was essentially 'merging'. That of the abstract with the tangible, and that of the two characters physically. I had hoped that, by omitting the characters' names, the actions and thoughts of the two individuals would become entwined and, in doing so, reflect their coming together.
The second reason hinges on my aforementioned indecision of who would be dominant in the pairing. Since I was unable to decide who should be seme, I wanted to write the drabble such that either character could be the seduced or the seducer. Hence the use of pronouns. In this way, I thought that, hopefully, no one's reading would be spoiled by the thought: 'OMG! X would so not dominate Y!'.
Finally, metre. Bluntly put, inserting the multi-syllabic names of the characters into the prose would really have ruined its rhythm, so I just stuck with 'he'.
Anyway, that's more than enough of that! ^^
'And welcome to the community. XD!'
Thank you very much. ^^
