So I recently did this Drabble Meme on LiveJournal where I accepted requests for drabble prompts and then had to deliver. Here are the results! (A drabble is a 100 word fic.)
1. "Unexpected Connection" - A Clem/Dawn drabble request by gabrielleabelle
This drabble is for gabrielleabelle who wanted some Clem/Dawn. Okay, so this might not be as sexy as she was looking for, but I definitely think it's a nice beginning for them. Set during Older and Far Away.
Dawn sobbed into her pillow.
“You okay?” Clem asked.
Silence.
“Don’t feel too bad. It’s the best party I’ve been trapped at in ages.”
Sniffle.
Clem patted Dawn awkwardly. “And that scary demon jumping out of the walls trying to kill us? You couldn’t have known he’d be here. It totally isn’t your fault.”
Dawn turned around slowly, wiping the tears from her face. Clem smiled.
“Wanna Cheeto?”
Choking back a sob, Dawn launched herself at Clem, nestling into the skin folds of his neck and squeaking unintelligibly.
“Huh, Dawn?”
“Yes, please.”
Hugging each other tightly, they shared the Cheetos.
2. "Out of the Woods, Into the Jungle" - A Riley drabble for menomegirl
This drabble is for menomegirl who requested Riley. And who'll be getting another drabble very shortly that more appropriately fits her shippy love.
The rain slanted down sideways, sluicing away the bloodstained palm fronds on the ground of the desolate village.
Riley walked amongst the bodies, human and demon, checking for signs of life. One to save, the other to extinguish.
A feminine groan caught his attention and he rushed forward. Patting down the black Kevlar, he searched for wounds as he turned her over.
“Don’t move,” he cautioned. “I’ve got you.”
“I’m okay,” the brunette grunted. “Just help me up.”
Noting the determination in her eyes, he held out his hand.
She gripped it firmly, smiling. “Name’s Sam. And you’re Finn, right?”
3. "Buffy + Laundry = Unmixy" - A Season 8 Buffy & Dawn drabble for stormwreath
This drabble is for stormwreath who asked for "a little vignette of mundane domesticity, set during Season 8" starring Buffy and someone else. Hope he likes it! Set post-After These Messages...
Buffy stuffed the sheets into the washer and poured in the detergent. She paused, squinting at the knobs. She fiddled and twisted, then slapped and shook before shaking her fists in frustration.
“Stupid Scottish washing machines!”
“Ummm, Buffy. What are you doing?” Dawn asked.
Buffy froze. “Nothing. Just…”
“Slaying the washing machine?”
Buffy shrugged. “I promised Xander I’d clean his sheets after I accidentally crashed in his bed.”
Dawn crooked an eyebrow. “Accidentally?”
“Yes, accidentally. And now this stupid thing won’t work.”
“Let me try.” Dawn turned around and kicked out with her back hooves. The washer turned on.
“Showoff.”
4. "The Heart Wants" - A Cordy/Doyle drabble for aisalynn
This drabble is for aisalynn who wanted some Cordy/Doyle lovin'. Hope you like it, sweetie. Set during I Will Remember You.
“Ugh. I’m telling you, Doyle, the world is about to end. This always happens whenever Buffy shows her face. You did notice that thing on her face, right? That thing?”
“Now, Cordy, I’m sure it’s not –”
She scoffed. “Oh please. You have no idea what you’re talking about, little Irish man. Buffy is a walking disaster. Word to the wise, you see her coming your way – run.” She scowled. “What does Angel see in her anyways? She’s arrogant, self-involved, conceited, bossy as hell.”
Doyle shook his head, smiling. “Lord knows how the heart works, Princess. ‘S’a mystery to me.”
5. "Top Dog" - A Riley/Lindsey drabble for menomegirl
This is another drabble for menomegirl featuring one of her OTP's - Riley/Lindsey. Enjoy sweetie!
Lindsey eyed the dorm’s bustling hallway skeptically, wondering why he’d agreed to participate in the Future Leaders of America Summer Fellowship Program when it was surrounding him with all these do-gooders. Oh right, ‘cause he wanted to get into Harvard Law.
“You lookin’ for a place to crash?” The tall farmboy nodded towards his room. “Name’s Riley,” he said, offering his hand.
Lindsey nodded, walking past him and ignoring his hand. “Lindsey McDonald.”
Riley smiled awkwardly. “Nice to meet you.”
“So who’s on top?”
“Huh?”
“Who gets top bunk?”
Riley shrugged. “Your call.”
Lindsey smirked. “That’s how I like it.”
6. "That Thing You Do" - A Spike/Buffy drabble with a mention of Satsu for xc_runner50
This is for xc_runner50 who wanted some Spuffy with some Satsu thrown in. Hope you like it, hon!
Spike fell back on the bed, panting. “God, Slayer. You tryin’ to kill me?”
Buffy grinned, crawling seductively up his body, nipping his abdomen and pecs along the way. “Why? Should I be worried? You planning on not calling me for over a year after you’re resurrected again?”
“Oh come on! You can’t still be mad about that. ’S’been years since that happened. Said I was sorry.” Spike pouted, giving Buffy a devilish, puppydog look. “Now you gonna tell me where you learned to do that thing with your tongue?”
“Did I ever tell you about Satsu?”
“Satsuwha?”
“Oh boy.”
7. "Do Me No Good" - A Lorne/Darla drabble for snickfic
This is for snickfic who requested some Lorne/Darla. Hope you like!
Lorne remembered her voice. It was her best feature, that bluesy soul she had rolling off her dainty shoulders. He could care less about the svelte curves, big blue eyes or bouncy blonde hair. Her voice made him flash on tragedy, heartbreak and a deep skepticism that made him flinch, but oh the way she’d sang. Sweetcheeks had the chops, alright. She’d had the chops. She could rip your heart out as surely as she could…well, rip your heart out. Lorne was sorry to hear she’d gone dust in the wind. That voice – he’d loved her if only for that.
8. "Psych 101 Me" - A Holden Webster drabble for obiwahn
This drabble is for obiwahn who wanted some more Holden Webster in her life.
Holden opened his Intro Psych textbook and skimmed the first chapter. Blah blah Phineas Gage. Blah blah Freud. Seriously dude, Oedipus complex? For real?
“Hey, Webs!” A lanky guy with floppy hair popped his head into the study lounge. “Wanna shoot some hoops?”
Holden grinned. “Meet you down there.”
Closing the textbook, he rolled his eyes. If only he’d gotten approval for the upperclassmen’s drama course he’d tried to enroll in. At least he’d have been learning something useful. Psychology only existed to induce headaches. What a waste of time.
This class was going to be the death of him.
9. "Just a Taste" - An awkward Willow/Spike drabble for phoenixofborg aka Lady Tragic
This drabble is for phoenixofborg who wanted some Spike/Willow in an awkward way. Hope you like it hon! Set post-Showtime.
Spike growled, frothing at the mouth as he sunk his teeth into Willow’s neck. He sucked deeply, only for a second, before Buffy yanked him back and clocked him upside the head.
“Spike! Snap out of it!” Buffy slapped his face.
“What? I…” Spike licked his lips and looked up, bewildered.
“Maybe it was too soon to stop using the chains." Buffy frowned. "I’ll be right back.”
Willow slumped against the wall, holding a hand to her wounded neck.
“Sorry, Red. You okay?”
“Eh. Been better. Is the room supposed to be spinning?”
“Sorry. Knew you’d taste sweet, though.”
“…thanks?”
10. "Office Politics" - A Harmony/Fred drabble for mabus101
This is for mabus101 who wanted Harmony/Fred AtS Season 5. Rated R for Language and Femslash. Hope you like it! Set during Harm's Way.
Tamika grinned as she checked Harmony’s front door. Unlocked. Idiot. Framing the blonde ditz for murder was going to be cake.
Tiptoeing inside, her vampiric hearing picked up a single heartbeat alongside two sets of gentle snoring. She glared at the blonde hair splayed across the far right pillow and falling into soft brown curls. Long brown curls. Huh.
Inching back the covers, Tamika nearly fell back on her ass.
Ms. Burkle!
Switching to gameface, she did a doubletake.
Ms. Burkle. Naked. In bed. With Harmony.
What the fuck.
…she knew that bitch was sleeping her way to the top.
And the Eggroll:
11. "Prophetic Wagers" - A Sahjahn drabble for beer_good_foamy
This drabble is for beer_good_foamy who wanted "Sahjahn. Anything with Sahjahn." I'll admit I was stumped and had to go back and rewatch some of AtS Season 3 to get a feel for his character. Sorry for the delay but here it is. Hope you like it!
For a demon with the power to dance through dimensions and bend time to his will, Sahjahn preferred simple pleasures. Like sports. More specifically, betting on sports. Nothing gets the (what passes for) blood pumping like a friendly wager.
He keeps record of all his bets from the first Greek Olympics to the modern American escapades. Less violent than the Old World’s games, but still just as lively. And if he happens to tinker with his talents to push a ball here or change the trajectory of the wind by sending it to a hell dimension there – well, all’s fair.
Feedback is AWESOME!
