The Better Man (H/Hr, R/Hr) argosy April 21 2006, 09:40:00 UTC
Hermione had loved Ron since Second Year. She knew he’d loved her back nearly as long. She’d always expected that some day - at their Hogwarts graduation, perhaps - she’d tell him she knew how he felt, and that would be that. There was always plenty of time.

Now, suddenly, time had run out. There would be no graduation day for the trio. And she’d seen how Harry had begun looking at her.

Harry would have to face Voldemort soon. The Wizarding World could not afford for his heart to be broken.

Hermione loved Ron, but she was nothing if not practical.

Aww, thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I wrote it in the middle of the night, so I wasn't even sure it would make sense. :)

Damn you, woman! I wanted Draco/Hermione drabble, but I will not post this in my own journal. I cannot write fics. Period.

Oh please, like I care. :) I'll happily write your drabble. Do you want anything specific?

DRABBLE DRABBLE DRABBLE!!!

Oh, just anything smutty and Draco-y and Hermione-y. Wow, Hermione's name doesn't work with a 'y' at the end. Um, yeah. No fluff. Fluff is icktastic. I mean, they can be happy and whatnot, but fluff is gross. Smut is good.

I'm so bizarre sometimes. And you make me happy.

Hermione felt Draco’s tongue drag along her breast, shivering as it trailed to her nipple. She gasped - as she always did - when he took it into his mouth, felt a burning thrill - as she always did - rolling from her stomach to her fingers. Hated herself - as she always did - for coming here again and again.

She was wrong, she thought dimly, as he entered her, panting harshly. He would leave the Death Eaters. They could be happy.

He stilled. Hermione, following his gaze, turned her head. Saw the blond man behind her, wand drawn.

“Father,” said Draco, unsurprised, and smiled.

Heh heh--like I can resist this:

Write me a Buffy drabble. Giles-centric.

Secondary request if inspiration doesn't strike would be TOS--something Kirk-centric.

Ooooooohhhh. I love that twist. I really miss these folk, you know? My old Trek beta also writes Buffy--it's the only fandom other than Trek and HP I've read even a bit in. So this was a real treat;-) I'm glad I enticed you into the meme.

Thank you! It was fun to revisit Buffy. :)

Oh bummer! I would love to request, but i have never written one, so damn it... LOL!

argosy April 21 2006, 17:10:16 UTC
Oh, go ahead and request. I don't really care if people write their own. (Though it is kind of a fun challenge.)

What would you like?

chavelaprincess April 21 2006, 17:23:37 UTC
I would try it if it was easy i think. I could try if you would like, but oh well. LOL!

If you can give me a Lucius/Hermione! Some fluff, if you can! LOL! *hugs*

Lucius/Hermione FLUFF? In 100 words? Are you mad, woman?

Hee. Okay, I can do it.

It would be great if you tried this meme. I am completely new to writing drabbles too, but it's kind of a fun challenge. I'm sure you would be wonderful. No pressure, but let me know if you decide to try it.

Okay, I'll bite. I love drabbles. I think they're spectacular exercises for writing.

Write a Nero Wolfe drabble for me. Any pairing, any rating... any style.

“Flummery.” Wolfe leaned back in the only chair into which he truly fit .

“Pure truth.”

“You fascinate that woman.”

“No longer. She’s like that book you read before lunch, ‘la belle Dame sans merci.’”

“Keats,” he muttered. “Overwrought piffle.”

“Be that as it may, Miss Rowan is definitely getting married, and not to me.” I rifled through the plant reports. After a moment, Wolfe cleared his throat politely. His expression of deepest sympathy. I looked up.

“You would not be able to change her mind?”

Since it concerned women, Wolfe would believe the lie. “No,” I said. “I wouldn’t.”

I'm completely fangirling you! I loved this! I may have to dig out some of my Wolfe books. I squee'd when I read 'Overwrought piffle.' My son wanted to know if I was ill!

Thank you, thank you!

Of course Archie could convince her otherwise... he's Archie Goodwin!

This was fun -- I started out writing Lily telling Archie -- "Escamillo, you didn't think I would wait forever," -- but quickly switched to Wolfe and Archie. That's what we read the books for. I am honored to be fangirled by you. :)
