1. Filling in the Blanks:: This one came in at 107 words--almost a drabble! More of a drablet. It's a gift for
ailurophile and
quillblade, about their Brotherhood of the Blade characters, Kiya and Darrell. It's sort of random...

I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals? [Edwin McCain - Romeo & Juliet]
He's gone on a bender again, and she's the only one who can usually reach him.
But now is not one of those times.
The last of her sympathy dried up with the tears she never sheds and the heart that never cracks. It's over between the two of them and it's been over for a long time. It was over before it even began, and both of them were too world-weary to embrace their own blindness. They both meant nothing to one another, in the end-so why does it hurt so damn bad?
Sometimes there are no answers because you knew the truth all along.
2. Play Pretend :: This is Ryan/Theresa, the OC. It's exactly 100 words! Yay! I won't spoil it for you... Let's just say that not all of my fics are not fluffy clouds and drippy ice cream cones--ok, I lie, none of them are.

Call her green and the winters cannot fade her/Call her green for the children who’ve made her...
He went to California/Hearing that everything’s warmer there - Little Green, Joni Mitchell
When she's born, her eyes are blue. Blue eyes are the mark she has been hoping and praying against. Now Theresa knows why babies were exposed to the elements for the past twenty centuries. Not that she would-this baby is both of them, even if he doesn't know it.
Now he never will.
In the beginning, she thinks she sees him everywhere. Eventually, Theresa stops searching for Ryan in her heart, because they've both chosen different worlds.
Even though Chino is only twenty minutes away from Newport Beach, it may as well be twenty thousand miles-or twenty centuries.
