I wanted to write drabbles and since I only got a couple from that meme, I made Sam randomly give me topics over AIM. I ended up with over 2000 words of drabble-ish/ficlet-ish things. (Almost all are too long to be drabbles and not long enough to be ficlets so call them whatever you want to call them). So here are some of the best ones.
01. Mac (and technically Dick too)
You've always been the kind of person who had to know the truth. No matter the circumstances or the consequences, knowing was always your choice over not knowing.
It was just like that day years ago when Veronica came into your room for the first time and gave you the choice of knowing. You had already made up your mind before she was done talking, and most days you didn't regret your decision.
And as he looked you square in the eye and you measured the inch between the two of you in your head, you knew what your decision was going to be before you had even considered the option. And you knew you were going to regret it in the morning.
02. Dick.
You predictably drank your way through the entire first summer after. The months after it happened were all a drunken haze, but not hazy enough for you to forget how much they fucking sucked. Because every time you woke up from another binge, there were the five minutes it took to get plastered again. Five crystal clear minutes that made you feel like someone else entirely, someone you didn’t want to be.
03. Mac/Dick
You showed up at his dorm room at three in morning because you couldn’t sleep and you knew he wouldn’t be able to either. He opened the door shirtless, took one look at you in your sweats and then he turned around and left the door open as he walked back to the clear bottle of liquor on his floor.
You know that was his way of inviting you in for a drink.
04. Cassidy/Lilly
Everyone thought you were with Dick and Logan in TJ the day Lily Kane was murdered. It took Veronica over a year to realize Logan wasn’t where he said he was and longer than that to figure out Lilly was sleeping with Aaron. No one is smart enough to have sex off camera anymore or come up with a perfect alibi.
You are though. Because you know that secrets only come out when people can’t keep their mouths shut and don’t know how to destroy evidence.
But now that you’re both dead, you think you and Lilly’s secrets will stay buried.
05. Felix
Sometimes he was a real dumb ass. He admits that. He never really had a problem with it until it got him killed. But then again, he’s not dumb enough to think he would have done anything differently. Probably wouldn’t have went to the bridge that night, sure. He most likely woulda skipped town with Molls in the middle of the night too. Changed both their names to something all American, moved to suburbia in Small Town, USA. He never woulda looked back.
He figures he woulda made Weevil come to.
06. Veronica + Mac (pre-series)
Veronica sees the black haired girl sitting in the corner alone and she thinks about walking over and asking her to sit with them but then Lilly laughs a loud Lilly-like laugh and brings her out of her thoughts. Her best friend is mocking her boyfriend in a cold tone and has obviously picked today as a day to be bitter about something or other. She’s on the war path and as Veronica steals another look at the girl with jet black hair and baggy clothes, she thinks being alone is safer than being in the clutches of Lilly Kane.
07. Logan/Mac
At first he’s just kind of a necessary evil, someone she has to put up with whether she wants to or not. He’s her best friend’s boyfriend. Her boyfriend’s best friend. Somewhere along the way he becomes her friend. Then he becomes more.
Before she knows it, she’s telling her boyfriend lies about being with her best friend, and lies to her best friend about being with her boyfriend. She lies to them both so she can meet up with him in secret places, praying, hoping, wishing the whole time his hands are on her skin that one of them would finally get suspicious. She longs for the day they figure it out so she can stop pretending.
08. Finn/Paris
A year after she ‘took a break’ from Yale she decided to come back to school and you let her move into the apartment. That next mother’s day you got her chocolate rocky road ice cream because she hadn’t talked to her mother in almost two years and she was crying on your couch. Three years after she met the blonde boy toy, she ran into your room in the middle of the night and jumped on your bed. You tried to hit her with your pillow and go back to sleep. You missed but she was wearing heels so she fell on her ass anyway. She didn’t however stop talking and you didn’t get to go back to sleep because she screamed and squealed that she was engaged and about stabbed you with the huge rock she shoved in your face.
Seven months later you were sitting next to a drunk named Finneaous who had leered at you during the engagement party, pinched your ass during the rehearsal dinner, and put his dirty disgusting mouth on yours that morning. Now it was the reception and he kept talking and after seven months, you finally admitted that you were falling for a guy you thought you hated on principal. You looked down at your beaming best friend in the middle of the table and you willed her to die in her sleep. It was all her fault.
009. Ryan/Summer #1
When Marissa decides to go college half way across the world, she tells Summer to look after him.
He tells her best friend she doesn’t get to fake concern for his welfare after leaving like she did. She rolls her eyes and tells him he wasn’t the only one whose ever been left behind by someone he loves. He tells her that at least Seth left a letter.
010. Ryan/Summer #2
It starts a couple weeks after Seth dies and it quickly becomes a ritual for her to show up at his door- usually in the middle of the night. Sometimes he’s asleep, most of the time he’s not.
She always walks in without knocking, sandals in hand, and pads across his carpet softly. He lies on his back and stares at the ceiling as she crawls into bed with him. The mattress hardly moves with her weight while she shifts to lie flat on her back beside him. They’re looking at the same ceiling but he knows they see different things than they do in the morning. He knows they’re different people while they wait for the sun to rise.
Some days she‘ll stay for the whole wait, wake up with him. Most of the time she doesn’t. They’re not close in the daylight, where the sunlight forces them to move on and be the people they should be by now.
But as more time passes, he doesn’t see an end in site. And a year later, she doesn’t come by as often. It’s not because either of them have moved it past it yet, he doubts they ever will, but the proximity was starting to hurt. The betrayal was written in fine lines, whether he was dead or not. And it’s not a line either of them will ever be able to cross. So they settle for the nights they have.
And he always leaves the door unlocked.
I like some, hate some, and love a couple so feedback is very much appreciated :)
And the song I had on repeat all night while I wrote all of these?
