So for the next so long, you'll be getting batched updates because I'm writing 2 count per day. This time 'round, I was particularly pleased with the poem, and if I were going to submit any of these, it would be "By the Numbers."

Well Doing, Weary

Canon: Miscellaneous Fiction
Characters:
Pairings:
Prompt: Oh, I try out a smile / And I aim it at you / Oh, you must have missed it / You alway
Rating:
Notes:

Sometimes we get weary. Really, bone-tired weary.

That moment when faith becomes sight.

All the old preacher wanted was some sign the families in his church might soften their hardened hearts to the Word they claimed to keep.

   

Don’t Remind Me That It’s Over

Canon: Kingdoms and Thorn
Characters:
Pairings:
Prompt: Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
Rating:
Notes:

So a whole new set of characters, I know, but this was actually the first team I ever developed of this world. Team five. It was kind of nice to find they matched the prompt.

Ricki had put away the past when she put away the name.

Anna has a new photography job and decides to go back through her old snapshots and memories. Ricki, who is visiting, demands that she stop—before it hurts too much.

   

By the Numbers

Canon: Miscellaneous Fiction
Characters:
Pairings:
Prompt: If love is anywhere / Mine still belongs with you...
Rating:
Notes:

This is a sequel of sorts to “Bridge.”

Flight of a Wild Mare

Canon:
Characters:
Pairings:
Prompt: I am not a poet, living is the poem...
Rating:
Notes:

I swear, I’ll write you some prose off this prompt. Just not this time.

You’re riding me hard, and I’m put away wet. / My soul like His cloak is a gamble, a bet.

   

Two drabbles, a double-drabble, and a poem. Thanks for the prompts, y'all! Keep 'em coming.

Scarred

Canon: Alliance
Characters: Kade Broussard and Hayley Lamar
Pairings: Hayley/Kade
Prompt: not in love
Rating: T
Notes:

So I hadn’t meant for this to be so depressing and horrible, but um… There it is in black and white—the reason Hayley is the way she is.

---

She's not in love. Really.

Hayley isn’t the kind of woman to be in denial, but she’s never liked a problem she doesn’t know how to untangle.

Warning: Mentions abuse.

   

Poetry is Fire

Canon: Alliance
Characters: Shelley Huntington and Gideon Thompson
Pairings: Gideon/Shelley
Prompt: books
Rating:
Notes:

A double-drabble.

Arsonists aren't supposed to be into literature.

Shelley wants a book; so does the local troublemaker.

   

Ever in Love

Canon: Mirror
Characters: Ever and Jaydn
Pairings:
Prompt: what about love
Rating:
Notes:

I wanted a plethora of quick drabbles. This is one of the few pieces that didn’t look liked I crammed a short into a flash. It’s also the first finished prose snippet of the world. Yay.

Why did she have to look like she belonged there?

Ever’s friend comes down to his shop, perches on his desk, examines the space station parts he sells. He just wishes she came for him.

   

at my back I always hear

bound by spheres of glass // as the songbirds sing // they growing ever younger
