I love this! Kind of sweet and sad too, and it alludes to so much more than what's written.

I've wondered too how it's done. 100 words, how do you do 100? Well done, darlin'

It is odd how much back story I make up in my mind for so few words. It did turn out kinda sad but I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm still not entirely sure I know how I did it. I'm thinking it's probably good practice for me.

Drabbles are my new favorite thing. I don't think mine are that fantastic, but challenging myself to tell a story in 100 words is kinda awesome, 'cause I'm a wordy girl.

I did a story that was 10 different drabbles. Each one could stand alone, but they did flow. And for Christmas, I'm posting a double drabble (coming soon to a journal near you.)

This was excellent, though! I think the thing about them is that it gives you more questions in the end, but you already know the answers based on the content.

Great job!

Thank you! You were the one who inspired me to finally have a go, I do love yours. I'm looking forward to your Christmas ones. I am thinking that drabbles might be very good for making a wordy person like me focus. It was surprising how much back story I had in my head for so few words in the end.

Wow, I cannot imagine being inspiration for anyone, that really made my day!

Drabbles are very good for focusing. So much relies on every word, and I love to use my words.

I'm finding I want to write and have some time to do so, and need prompts, 'cause my head is either to full to find something or empty. LOL.

:D Hmm. I'm pretty hopeless at prompting or being prompted. One little head cannon that occurred to me when I was writing this was the incident of Dean stealing Rachel (?) Sam's prom date - which has been alluded to a couple of times and Lucifer implied she had been a demon. I have it in my head that in actual fact Rachel threw herself at Dean, hoping to cause trouble and Dean tricked her into the impala, drove her to the edge of town and then threw her out in disgust - but of course Sam had seen, believed the worst, his night was already ruined and Dean let him believe she was hard to win over rather than the alternative of him knowing that she was trying to ditch Sam. Of course the same harm was done whatever, Lucifer won :( So there you go - the only prompt I can think of, but it would be nice to see.

I need to write one of these. So much power is so few words. And bittersweet too:
Sometimes, when they’re alone, they still dance. Sam leads and Dean follows.

Arghhh my heart aches! Loved it!

*Happy* that you liked it! I did find it a really interesting change. I definitely think it was useful to condense down a story and have to think about the merit of each word that I was using. I am so deep into plot on what I'm writing and I think it kinda helped to bring some focus back onto words. I am still plugging away at the longer pieces but I think in future I might stop every now and again and try one of these.

Thank you! I take no responsibility for the diabetic aftermath. I can't help it, I have such a soft spot for these two dancing.
