comment_fic drabbles 761-765: Glee/crossover, original, Merlin, Glee
Title: a handprint on my heart
Fandom: Glee/surprise crossover
Disclaimer: not my characters; title from Wicked
Warnings: mentions of assault, bullying
Pairings: Kurt/Blaine
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 250
Point of view: third
Prompt: any, any, I feel we've met before, even though I know it's not true
"Excuse me," he hears, and he turns to see a boy out of uniform, smiling nervously. "I'm new here," the boy says.
Blaine introduces himself, holding out a hand, and the boy says his name is Kurt, then asks, "What's going on?"
Blaine grins up at him. "The Warblers!" he says.
He knows this boy. Somehow, even though they've never met (he'd remember, oh, he would definitely remember) he knows this boy.
.
He gives Kurt advice, helps him confront a kiss-stealer, mentors him, accidently obliviously hurts him, and finally realizes how much he loves him.
Through it all, he's too familiar with Kurt. Treats him like a life-long friend instead of a fragile boy he just met. Kurt's strong, so strong, stronger than Blaine has ever been, but it would've been so easily to break him in the early days.
Kurt feels it too, he knows. Otherwise, why would he let Blaine in so far, so quickly? Kurt's prickly at the best of times, defensive and cold. But he let Blaine all the way in, almost from day one.
It's not normal. There's something between them, something that says, Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you forever.
.
When Blaine remembers, he turns to look at Kurt. Kurt's laughing with his dad, but he glances over, smiling, and Blaine knows that this might be the best life yet.
Don't worry, my king, he thinks, walking over to lean into Kurt and nod along with his train of thought, you'll remember soon.
Title: let me lay down my gun
Note: title and prompt from "'Til the Last Shot's Fired"
Originalish, depressing, 80 words
Prompt: any, any,
Say a prayer for peace for every fallen son
Set my spirit free, let me lay down my gun
Sweet Mother Mary I'm so tired
But I can't come home 'til the last shot's fired
"You know, of course, how this will end," the enemy drawls, standing tall and strong and unbeaten.
Soldiers die. Ideals live on.
"Of course," the hero murmurs, and lets go.
.
The hero awakens as guns roar and men scream.
The enemy laughs, as enemies always do.
Soldiers fight. Soldiers die.
War is immortal, and there are always more enemies lurking on the horizon.
The hero takes a deep breath, tightens his grip, and sends up a prayer.
War never ends.
Title: obedience
Fandom: Merlin (BBC)
Disclaimer: not my characters
Warnings: none
Rating: PG
Pairings: none
Wordcount: 27
Point of view: third
Prompt: Merlin BBC, any, chain of command
The magic in Merlin responds only to him, to his strongest desire.
Uther, and Gaius, and Mother all order Merlin - he might obey.
Unless Arthur commands otherwise.
Title: gunpowder
Original, PG, character death, gen
Prompt: Any, any, lotta boot left to fill
Bury me six feet down, he said, wearing his father's boots, his father's gun.
He drew too slow and died in the street, just like his daddy.
Title: you just might be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
Fandom: Glee
Disclaimer: not my characters; title from Lady Antebellum
Warnings: takes place during Original Song
Pairings: Kurt/Blaine
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 115
Point of view: third
Prompt: Any, any, Just a Kiss (Lady Antebellum)
Blaine stares at Kurt as he pours his soul into a lament for a tiny bird, and he thinks, Oh.
After the music fades, Kurt thanks them all softly and walks out.
Blaine keeps sitting there, mind whirling, and all he wants is to follow Kurt, to fall to his knees at Kurt's feet and apologize, and beg, and promise to be Kurt's forever.
But he doesn't move, because he's done so many things wrong. He has to do this right.
So he goes to his room and plans out everything he wants to say. But when he finally goes to Kurt, all he can remember is, "Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you forever."
