Moddy Post: Epic Prompt War

Surprise?

I know that a lot of people are working on Remix at the moment, so I ummed and aahed about whether to hold off on this for a couple of weeks. But then I also know that this kind of thing tends to get the muse going a lot which might help with Remix, and I also thought that it might be a good idea to give people somewhere they can use to

[Bubbles] Bad Day, Laura/Kara, PG

[astreamofstars]

Laura’s in the shower when she first feels it. She’s terribly late for work and Kara is banging around in the kitchen making breakfast and it’s two weeks before the anniversary of that and she can feel her whole body tensing up in anticipation of it. And she just can’t deal with this on top of everything else.

Her fingers probe the outside of her breast gently. It’s tiny, barely there, and it can’t be anything important. Just can’t. She doesn’t have the time or the energy for this to be serious, and she snatches her fingers away and reaches for the shampoo. She massages it into her scalp so vigorously it almost hurts, and when the bubbles get into her eyes as she rinses it out, she relishes it, the sting taking over her thoughts for a moment.

Kara looks a little worried when she walks into the kitchen, rubbing her hair with a towel.

“Your eyes are all red. Everything ok?”

And Laura plasters a bright smile on her face and only half lies. “Soap in my eyes. Everything’s fine."

Oh ouch. This is beautifully concise. I'm going to read this is biopsy-early-enough-to-treat-it, if you don't mind. :)

I absolutely don't mind in the slightest! Laura always lives in my head, in any even slightly non-canon situation.

Thank you :)

Oh, yipes. This is the spot on kind of brushing under the rug we do when we're overwhelmed and frightened over a potential health issue.

A very hurty little piece.

[astreamofstars]

Sorry for the hurty, but thank you :) Yeah, I think,when it comes to herself, Laura is always going to try to push her needs and hurts away for as long as she can. I hope that, in this world, she's able to face it early enough as she has Kara there to help her.

I really feel her "can't deal with this" here. Poor bbs!

Re: [Bubbles] Bad Day, Laura/Kara, PG

[astreamofstars]

:( I hope that having someone other than Adar in her life would mean that she would perhaps be more willing to deal with it in time this time around!

Oh. I can see her having this checked out, totally not telling Kara until she gets the biopsy done and gets the results.

{hugs} them both.

Nice. Ouchy, but in a truly Laura way.

Re: [Bubbles] Bad Day, Laura/Kara, PG

[astreamofstars]

Absolutely. I think the only way Kara would find out is if she felt it herself, because Laura wouldn't say a word until she had all the facts in front of her.

Poor bbs.
