A Kiss With a FistI saw the blow coming from a mile away, had ample time to move to avoid it, but I didn’t. The way those cold green eyes were focused on me, and me alone made it more than worth the pain as the fist made contact with my gut, winding me ( Read more... )

Yes, I do still exist.

Tittle: A Headache

Head throbbing, all Ripper could hear was a constant, ear-splitting wail. Glaring ineffectually at the rest of the circle who were standing around the edges of the barrier, he closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Fire Drabbles

Haven’t been around for a while. I was distracted by the build-up to, and start of Summer_Of_Giles. Now, however, I feel comfortable enough to multi-task between this and that. :)

“Who the fuck died and made you boss, huh? I sure didn‘t bloody vote for it.”

Randal was pissed off, which wasn’t a surprising scenario, either. Since that last spell we’d all been on edge, were all feeling the strain of going without, and he’d always had to be ( Read more... )

Future Hints

Scowling, he glanced towards the clock out of the corner of his eye.

“Damn it, Ethan, we’ve been at this for over two hours. I could have sworn I was leaving books behind when I turned my back on school, you know?”

Ethan gave him a look, half-exasperation, half-amusement, “Well, if ( Read more... )

Whee. This marks the 40th time I've delved into my little verse. Fun, fun.

Strange Humour

Anxiously, he looked for an exit, then back towards the door to make sure of what he was seeing.

Still there.

Of course.

A Recipe For Disaster

It was after midnight when he came back to his senses.

Stars wheeled above, the grass was damp underneath, and the chill raises goose-bumps on his arms.

The others were spread in a lose circle around the rest of the field.

He wasn't entierly sure what ( Read more... )

May get a few more out of this before it closes. In the mean-time...

People Drabble

The people around him were the same as they had always been - each in their own world, separate as different counties, yet linked in very much the same way, too, magick doing the job for them that the earth’s crust did for its islands in the sun.

Didn’t know it then ( ( Read more... )

Ripper’verse Flood Drabble
Setting - Before 'Back 02'

He braces himself for the flood; tears and raised voices, self-righteous rage and self-pitying denial. Tells himself he’s ready, can handle it, can rope himself down for the storm, come through on the other side, if not smelling of roses, at least a little older and wiser for it.
