Jae's Monthly Drabble Challenge # 154

Dec 02, 2018 20:20

Yesterday's rain melted all of last week's snow. Today, we had a mix of rain and snow. Bizarre weather.

Inspired by this month's giftee, December's JMDC prompt is: holiday hangover. It can be an actual hangover, or more of a "holiday drop" one. You decide! Feel free to write/draw any fandom, pairing, threesome, gen fic, original fic, etc. Combine it with other prompts, if you like.

Please post your entry in your own journal (unlocked!) or a community of your choice, and leave me a link in the comments below. You have until December 31 at 10:00pm CST to submit an entry. At that time, I'll post links to the entries and draw a name from among the participants to receive a drabble from me.

Below is my entry for this month:

Title: Aches and Hangovers
Author: enchanted_jae
Characters: Charlie/Neville
Rating: PG13
Warning(s): Suggestion
Word count: 155
Disclaimer: Characters are the property of JK Rowling, et al. This fic/drabble was written for fun, not for profit.
Written for:
♦ JMDC No. 154 - holiday hangover
♦ Gift for JMDC No. 153 winner digthewriter, who requested Charlie/Neville with a prompt of hangover headache
Summary: Neville lays claim to an additional ache.



Charlie cracked one eye open, groaned, then closed it again. Merlin, what had George put in the punch last night? His mouth tasted like the inside of a sweaty dragonhide glove, and his head throbbed each time his heart beat. Charlie wanted to die. If his heart ceased beating, so would his head.

"Water," he croaked. Water would help.

"Bring me some, too," Neville whispered from beside him.

Charlie grimaced. "Why do I have to get it?" he asked. Even that short sentence left him feeling more parched.

"You're closest to the loo."

With another pitiful moan, Charlie sat up. He had to swallow heavily as his stomach felt like it continued roiling. "Oh my god, I'm dying."

"I feel the same," mumbled Neville. "Get me some water."

"I can't," whined Charlie. "My head aches, and so does my stomach."

"Yeah, so does my arse, you animal," Neville snapped. "Now, go get me some water."

For an expanded remix, please read Delayed Reaction by digthewriter, and give her some love!
