WNBA RPFS, 100 words on the nose

Nov 30, 2006 23:13

Title: Telling the Beads
Rating: G, maybe PG
Prompt: #93, faith
Fandom: WNBA RPFS
Pairing: Sue Bird/Diana Taurasi, Seattle Storm and Phoenix Mercury
Wordcount: 100
Note: Set during Sue and Diana's chaperoning misadventures with the current batch of Huskies... exactly who thought this would be a good idea? Like all else in here, the assumption that they hit Rome is artistic license.


They're a souvenir from Rome, smooth and heavy in her hand; they surprised everyone else when she bought them, and maybe she surprised herself.

She tells the beads her secrets, and they silently laugh at her. She tells the beads her fantasies, and they wordlessly mock her. She tells the beads her dreams, and they ignore her tears. She tells the beads her fears, her nightmares, the things she can't bear to see, the conflict in her heart; they sit heavily in her hands and mutely pass judgment on her.

She tells the beads everything, but she tells Sue nothing.
