Drabble meme. Sort of. Not really. Um... Drabbles?

Having just seen this at phantomas's place, I realise that I'm in the mood to drabble... There's clearly no point in me doing the meme, cos all I could really offer up, fandom-wise, is Pros, so I'm just gonna offer up drabbles in general ( Read more... )

writing talk, pros fic, drabble

Storm

It was cold by the water, a stinging wind whipped from the north: grey sky, grey sea, damp grey beach. Grey heart. Bodie tucked his hands deeper into his pockets, thought about her, and how brightly she'd shone, how sweetly she'd smelled, how she'd made him smile.

How surely she'd known, before the end, that he didn't want her any more.

Waves crashed in front of him, froth-edged as they rushed ashore, and behind him he felt the sand give way. Warm breath, warm body, warm… him. Bodie tucked his hands deeper into his pockets, leaned fractionally back. Winter's end.

Oh this is really great. I could feel the bracing wind, hear the crashing of the waves and see the dull lonely beach. Could feel what Bodie was feeling to the point where Bodie had to re-adjust his footing slightly when the sand slipped beneath his heels, as Ray stepped up behind him.

This was beautiful. You have such wonderful way with words and painted such a beautiful moment here.
Thank you.
((hugs))

Oh, this is gorgeous - to the point where I could smell the sea.

'Grey heart'

'Winter's end.'
Just lovely. Plus I'm a sucker for post-Marrika fic.
