#104 • Nine Months Earlier
I find the conclusion one extrapolates from this idea rather terrifying (if scarily logical, in a perverse sort of way), but once it had occurred to me, it wouldn't go away until I'd written the story.
Title: Nine Months Earlier
Author: graycardinal
Rating: PG-13 (pentagrams, indeed!)
Wordcount: 100
Challenge: #104, "so long, farewell, auf wiedershen, adieu"
Fandom: Castle
Spoilers: None.
Disclaimer: Joss Whedon created the Buffyverse; Andrew Marlowe created the Castleverse. Only the drabble is mine.
She’d always had a thing for rogues.
Her current husband, for one. Screwing Rosie? Understandable; the ingénue went through men like Kleenex. But seducing Colleen, their Liesl? Scandalous.
So she’d found another - young, risqué, altogether dangerous. He’d picked her from the ensemble, sent flowers, led her to a tawdry pub and a tawdrier walk-up. The sex might have been kinkier than Martha liked - pentagrams, indeed! - but it had been devilishly energetic.
Now, though, the run was ending. “Back to New York for me,” she told him. “So long, farewell, auf wiedershen, adieu...”
Ethan Rayne merely grinned. “A pleasure, Ms. Rodgers.”
