Drabble Post
Ok, I didn't know how the posting was going to go, so I guess I'll go ahead and post mine, too.
Here are three that I have done. And they are more classic-drabble - very short. :)

You loved me ‘cause I’m fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone
“It wasn’t supposed to happen like this,” Alice whispered against Jasper’s chest, trying to bury herself in him.
“I know.”
She had been just a human. A fragile little human.
But that fragile little human had stolen all their hearts, restarting them with her breath of life, only to have her own breath stolen from her too soon.
Not even stolen - offered freely to a foolish, stubborn boy who couldn’t accept it.

Title: Stalking Gone Astray
Pairing: E/B
Rating: PG
Word Count: 200
Prompt(s): Reverse Stalker
There is no way this is a good idea, Bella thought to herself as she paced up and down her room, fully dressed, at 2 in the morning.
Yes, the new boy was freakishly attractive. And yes, he’d stared at her all through class. But did that really give her the right to go traipsing though the woods surrounding his house, trying to find his window? Because that was the plan.
Charlie would kill me, she told herself, but… It’s not like I’m going to do anything. I just want to see where he lives. Maybe see what his room looks like. So I can think of something interesting to say to him when we’re working together in Biology. I’m just trying to be friendly. There’s nothing wrong with that, right?
If there was nothing wrong, you wouldn’t be sneaking about in the middle of the night, an annoying little voice chimed in from the back of her mind.
She finally steeled herself enough to shove her window open, ready to climb out.
Only to find Edward Cullen himself, staring back up at her, a clear expression of stunned horror written across his beautiful features.

Title: Faded
Pairing: E/B and B/J sort of
Rating: PG
Word Count: 150
Prompt(s): Set to The Veronicas' song Faded, the angstier the better.
For darkslayerfaith
Now I'm faded
Into someone else
Baby someone I don't wanna be
Yeah I'm faded
My true color's gone
Like a picture nobody sees
When he was here, I felt alive. More alive than I’d ever been, ironically enough. I was the brightest sunrise over a lush green meadow. I was the splashes of color as wildflowers grew around us. I was a sparkling star, hung high in the night.
When he left, I drew into myself, curled up tighter than a man in a straitjacket.
When someone tried to take his place, I felt like a shadow of the living. Again, the irony was not lost of me.
Instead of the sunrise, I am the pale moonshine. Instead of the bright wildflowers, I am the dull driftwood. Instead of the fixed star; the falling meteorite.
But that was all I could be. And I didn’t even have the strength to care.
