My First Drabbles Ever! (Batch 1)
I did it! I did it! I really actually did it!
*dances*
So here's the first batch, in which Bel gets angst, Ki gets half-naked men, Fi and El get HP!crack, and the world is as it should be. One drabble for each of you who requested, with more on the way!
For beloved_baka:
Snow followed, heavy and swift, to cover their graves. Kakashi, 100 words.
There was something about fall that unsettled Kakashi, something about seeing Konoha’s trees fill with the color of blood and then be stripped bare by the wind. Watching the leaves die in masses and the village itself become the graveyard for another summer gone.
It was something about having to watch the world around him slowly die.
And it was being surrounded by deaths that he could not prevent.
So it always seemed a mercy when the snow came to bury them all--the white was a cold but a painless death.
An emptiness to cover all the blood.

For Kilerkki:
It’s like watching someone smile when you know they’re lying through their teeth. Sort of. Mal/Inara, 100 words.
Inara was supposed to be with a client. So when she knocked on Mal’s door in the middle of the night, he grabbed a pistol and followed her without question.
In her shuttle was a half-naked, unconscious man.
Mal gestured with his gun. “What’s that?”
“A half-naked, unconscious man. I thought I’d poison him and become a fugitive so I could join your crew and stay with you forever.”
Mal blinked.
“He’s a bounty hunter, Mal. And you get to deal with him.”
Then Inara walked away, leaving the captain shirtless and dumbfounded.
It was a good look for him.

For phoenix_melody:
It’s like watching someone smile when you know they’re lying through their teeth. Harry Potter, with Luna Lovegood in there somewhere. 100 words.
“Any idea what’s up with Snape today?” Harry asked as they left Potions.
“Search me. Somebody must’ve slipped him a niceness potion, though,” said Ron, “cause that just wasn’t natural.”
“It must’ve been his first class ever that didn’t include taking a single point from Gryffindor.”
“Why do you suppose he’s so much creepier when he’s actually sort of nice?”
“It’s like watching someone smile when you know they’re lying through their teeth,” said Luna, drifting by them and on up the corridor.
Ron looked at Harry.
“Why do you suppose she’s so much weirder when she’s actually making sense?”

For orangeaddict:
This is what you get for making me choose. (And it goes along with the above.)
(He. He.)
“Does that mean you would prefer I not stay?” Harry Potter crack!pairing. 100 words.
It began innocently enough; such things always do. He would nod to her in the hallway, and she would blush, ever so slightly.
They began spending time together, working quietly in one office or the other. One day he looked up and asked her what the two of them thought they were doing. She asked if he would prefer she didn’t stay.
He could only stammer in response. That was answer enough.
It also caused a choking noise just outside the door, followed by the only detention Severus Snape ever gave Draco Malfoy.
It lasted three and a half months.
