Yup, this is it, folks, the complete list of prompts for this year's Happyfest. The main difference this year is that we're open for art works as well as fic. Otherwise, the rules remain the same, the first of which is:

READ THE RULES BEFORE WRITING!

(there are notes about spoilers that I NEED you to read)

Covert Affairs; Coffee and Camaraderie; Auggie and Annie; G

[donutsweeper]

Sometimes Annie forgot that Auggie was blind. Or, it would be more correct to say, she'd forget to think about it. It was just that he was so self-assured, so confident; he never acted like what she'd always assumed a blind person would be like. As a result, every once in a while she did one of those monumentally stupid things that people do when they're lost in their own world and fail to consider the consequences their actions might have on the people around her.

Today that stupidity had her scooting his coffee cup over a several inches so she'd have a clear place to lean against his desk as she filled him in on the latest gossip she'd just overheard. Auggie, laughing at the impersonation she'd just begun of Joan, reached out for his coffee, but ran his hand up her thigh instead.

He pulled his hand away instantly, shaking it like it'd been burned and immediately began apologizing, "Annie. Sorry, I..." but he trailed off, his usual unflappable nature deserting him, leaving him stumbling for the right words.

"Auggie, it's okay." Annie reached over and grabbed his flailing hand within both of her own. "And here I thought you were the ultimate ladies' man," she said, smiling widely, knowing Auggie would hear the grin in her voice.

"Hey, I am a ladies' man," Auggie shot back, relaxing at her joking manner. "I just like to know ahead of time when I'm going to be feeling a woman up."

"So it's something you plan out then? Do you put it on your schedule? Nine o'clock: flirt with the girl at the coffee stand, nine fifteen: feel up Annie, nine thirty-"

Auggie laughed. "You forgot my plans of charming Joan in the hall. Oh, and my planned accidental bumping into Tia and complimenting her on her new suit and-"

Annie grabbed his coffee mug and shoved it into his hand. "With a schedule like that, I think you'd better stay caffeinated. Wouldn't want you wearing out on me, would I?"

"Never fear, my dear, sweet Annie," he said, taking a long sip of coffee. "That'll never happen."

This is adorable! You have their voices nailed. I dated a blind guy for a while, and I totally get the headspace Annie was in. You stop thinking 'will this cause a problem' for a even a second and you can be sure it'll cause a problem - be it large or small, but it *will* cause a problem. (My rather oft-repeated issue was that I'd be fine to walk under tree branches, but my boyfriend was a few inches taller than me. Oops...)

I don't know what this show is, but I love your ficlet! It's very easy to see, both the action and the relationship between the characters. :)
