Drabbles, this time.
1. "strip" n100. 76 words:
They’re standing close and a bump from behind sends her falling into him. He catches her automatically and receives a shirtfull of coffee for his trouble.
2. amita/ian/gesture. 146 words:
"How did you know?" she asks him.
He tries to play it off, teasing her. "Know what?"
He can see that for a second she thinks she's made a mistake, and he can't help his amused smile.
3. amita/student (ahaha, whatever, I blame leda_speaks for this one). 100 words:
"I was just wondering... Isn't there anything I could do to improve it?"
4. chivalry colby/charlie. 79 words:
He wraps his arms around himself in an attempt to retain some body heat, but the freezing January wind whips it away from him.
5. colby, terry "children." 151 words:
"So," Colby starts. "You and Don, huh?"
6. Colby/Dean [Winchester] "playful." 60 words:
Colby leans down to nip playfully at Dean's jaw, neck, shoulders, light stinging to match the ache in his thighs, pressed wide under Colby's hands.
7. colby/liz "soldier." 52 words:
He kisses her too suddenly, overly eager, and she laughs as she pulls back, softening it.
8. colby/megan "Water." 200 words:
“Those done yet?” She sounded amused, leftover laughter from Don and Charlie’s antics, and he turned around to joke with her about the badass FBI agent behaving like a nine-year-old.
“Um,” he said.
9. coop/ofc, don? for ely. 330 words (this one is not actually supposed to be here! It started as a drabble and then grew but I forgot to move it from the drabbles folder. Whoops!):
"So you must be Don." She looks him over thoughtfully, crossing one bare foot over her ankle as she leans against the doorframe. He wonders what Cooper's said about him.
10. d/t "dizzy." 115 words:
He shakes her hand, professional as their boss informs her that Agent Eppes will be joining her team, and they share secret smiles as he's whisked off to be introduced to the other teammates, only to meet again in the break room alone, where he hugs her tightly next to the coffee pot.
11. david colby december rewind. 66 words:
Spending Christmas with your best friend is better than spending it alone, so Colby hauls the package of presents and cookies his mom sent him over to David's place, where he changes into his flannel pajamas and they sit on the couch watching Elf on TV.
It makes him feel like a little kid, except with more rum in the eggnog than there used to be.
12. don/charlie "thoughts of mortality." 26 words:
"You could've died," Charlie whispers, and Don tries to shrug it off but his hands are shaking as he tugs Charlie's shirt up over his head.
13. don/megan. 31 words:
It's been six months. It feels longer, and he's almost startled to find that she looks the same as she did when she left. Just happier. It stings a little bit.
14. don/terry smug. 86 words:
He hesitated for a second before standing up, but he didn’t move out of her way, forcing her to squeeze past him to her desk. He caught her arm and leaned down to whisper in her ear.
“I know something you don’t know.”
15. February n100. 31 words:
For a city boy raised by pacifists, going to Quantico is like stepping into another world.
16. July. 218 words:
DC is refreshing, busy in some officious way that LA could never pull with its crush of out-of-work actors and entitled D-list celebrities, polished and curled and tanned and not aspiring to any goals higher than finding the trendiest club to appear at.
17. liz cigarettes. 200 words:
On the way home, she stops at a corner store and buys a pack of cigarettes with her Ben & Jerry's. The older lady behind her in line gives a disapproving frown. Liz smiles at her.
"They're not for me," she says. "For a friend of mine."
18. liz/cam. 28 words:
She goes back to business as usual, pretending not to count down the days, every drug addict she arrests just a criminal, just another day at the office.
19. los angeles don/kim. 100 words:
It's a one-way ticket.
20. May Rewind. 400 words:
Charlie is worse off than he is, all grins and pink cheeks and dumb math jokes that Don doesn't understand but can't help laughing at anyway. He throws his head back when he laughs, curls brushing back from his face, scruff of his neck exposed, and Don notices himself staring and stops, his own smile fading away. He blames it on the drinks.
21. megan/terry "tense." 83 words:
"So what was Don like when you met him?" she asked.
22. megan/terry/awkward. 48 words:
“Well this is awkward,” Terry muttered, shifting gingerly in a hopeless attempt to find more room.
23. sequel to 'Permit.' 36 words:
"For a couple of geniuses, you don't seem to have realized that I need to be observant to avoid getting killed every day," Ian says with a smirk. "You think I don't see you watching me?"
24. sister. 46 words:
Across the room she's bent over a notebook, scrawling notes, all twists of curly dark hair and pink-bitten lips. Don watches for a moment before turning to his own notes, leaving her to do the math thing while he sticks to sharpening up his profile.
25. speed shift smoke shot. 100 words:
He asks Don about her without really thinking about it. He's just wondering if she ever decided whether to sign up for that flamenco class or not.
Don looks at him like he's crazy, like why would you ask me that?
26. terry/liz/coffee. 48 words:
"Agent Lake... Have we met?"
27. cigarettes. 65 words:
The cigarette makes her feel childish, a sneaking suspicion that her disregard for the dozens of anti-smoking speeches her mother has given her over the years is an attempt to be an adult, to be independent, at her lungs' expense.
28. The beginning. 300 words:
When her mom calls her she's crying. She tells her the whole story, down to the pretzels, while Jo sits there shaking, biting her lip.
29. Skin. 100 words:
She's careless with the razor, pulls it too fast, presses too hard, and nicks herself, drawing a spot of blood just below her knee.
30. Skin 2. 115 or 100 words (two drafts):
She's driven 300 miles and her arm is red from resting along the window frame all day, itchy with sunburn and hot to the touch.
31. "lollipop" drabble. 92 words:
Sam was two problems away from finishing his Calculus homework when Dean entered the room, turned on the TV, and threw something at Sam's head, offering a cheery, "Happy Halloween, Sammy."
32. "star motel" drabble. 100 words:
Sam glanced around the empty parking lot and shook his head. He began to climb.
At the top, Dean was grinning, and it made Sam smile too, secret and conspiratorial.
33. football preseries. 100 words:
The football comes flying at his face as fast and hard as Dean can throw it. Sam doesn't let himself step away, instead brings his hands up and catches it, feeling the shock of the impact run through him. He wavers on his feet but stands firm, and gears up his arm for a throw.
