I know we've got a bunch of great writers in the comm, so I thought I'd get a little bit of participation going here with a drabble tree!

A plane of open space and dying galaxies where he leaned on a bar made of moonlight, sipping a glass filled with a stardust. She took his arm and spun him around, drawing him into a quick dance. He never knew the steps, but she lead him graciously as the sailed in lazy circles across the floor.
She spun him out, dipped him, guiding him through unseen decades and dying dimensions. He struggled to keep up and she just held his hands tighter, drew him along.
When his legs gave out, she caught him, laid him against her chest, cheek against the deep blue silk, and wrapped her arms around him.
Before he could ask any questions, she kissed his temple, kind and motherly. Then she leaned closer and kissed his lips, dipping deep into him mouth until he was drunk on it.
His legs ached upon waking, but a smile curved his lips.

“With my experience? Never.”

Fitz wasn't sure if he should be excited or terrified; he'd been entirely unprepared for the unique effect the music of John Smith and the Common Men had on this peculiar woman. "Just don't tell Grandfather," she whispered as she pushed him down onto the sofa.

Instead, it was dark and stuffed with, well, all kinds of stuff - LPs, books, overstuffed antique furniture, lab stuff in the kitchen - and it had the most appalling wallpaper Fitz'd ever seen.
His prospective flatmate peered back at him. "What d'you think?"
"Done. You don't mind the guitar?"
"If you'll tolerate my violin, it seems only fair."
