The Challenge
Write a story between 250-500 words
Any genre that tickles your fancy
Try something you've never done before - a pairing, fandom, theme, style etc. - something you're maybe not sure of or even something that kind of intimidates you. Just close your eyes, take a big breath, and start (opening your eyes at some point is probably helpful). Or just write something that makes you smile, laugh, cry or question your own sanity.
... and I got this little scene in my head. Um, 34 days later I've written it *g*
Title: As Always
Author:
mrswomanPairing: Any couple I've never written before.
Words: A 'perfect' 300 word drabble
Disclaimer: These characters and situations do not belong to me in any way, shape, or form. I have borrowed them as part of my sanity maintenance.
AN: Sorry it's so late.

Like every other morning they'd shared, a sound made the woman look up from her resting place. Her lover climbed out of the shower, singing quietly to some melody buried deep inside. Beautiful brown hair tumbled haphazardly over her shoulders and her small breasts still hung just perfectly; she had always been the perfect shape for the woman watching her now.
The brunette strolled across the room, allowing an exaggerated swing to her hips. She smiled lazily and dropped onto the edge of the bed, lifting her hand to caress short blonde hair, flecked now with more silver than red. She leaned over and kissed the waiting lips, drinking deep of their love, offering herself.
The blonde grinned and pulled her lover down; she knew this game so well. Their bodies melded together; a perfect fit. As always, their rhythm played out in time to a song sung so many times before it should be boring, with these two ladies, it was anything but …
