Haven Drabbles
I am accepting Haven prompts and these are the ones I've received on tumblr that I've filled so far...
THESE ARE SPOILER-Y FOR SEASON 4
they all revolve around Jennifer, Duke and occasionally appearances by Wade.
Prompt request! Duke sets Jennifer up in Audrey's old apartment above The Gull and drives by to check on her and sees the light on.

Since his return to Haven, sleep wasn’t coming easy to him. It was becoming habit to drive around the town. The last two nights, he noticed, the lights above the Gull were on. Jennifer. Jennifer Mason’s silhouette could be seen wandering from one end of the apartment to the other. Sometimes she would be holding her hand to her mouth; he assumed she was chewing on her fingers. Other time she would be holding her head. She was suffering and he knew he couldn’t let her go through this alone. Not when it was partially their fault she was even in this mess.
Climbing the stairs, he gathered himself, he knocked softly. When she didn’t come, he tried the knob and found the door unlocked. “Jennifer?” he called out, immediately panicing, he burst in.
She was standing in the kitchen with two cups of coffee, hands shaking slightly. She tried to hide it but the tremors came from kicking the meds without weaning. “I wondered when you’d be coming up.”
He crossed to her, taking the cup. “Caught me, huh?” he grinned sheepishly.
“Your jeep isn’t exactly hard to miss and when you don’t sleep…”
Duke pulled her carefully to him; he could feel her whole body shaking. “I’m here now,” he murmured, “I’m here.”

Prompt Request! Duke is bartending when he sees some guys hitting on Jennifer and he's not happy about it. Jennifer doesn't know why he's so defensive.

If he heard that asshole make her laugh one…too late, Jennifer Mason was laughing gaily to something the douche who’d be hovering over her all night said. Duke Crocker never felt that he was a jealous man…not until tonight. Seeing this…young, blonde, eager for a bang, asshole slobber all over Jennifer had him ready to kill.
Thankfully the girl was heading back to the bar, where he was forced to tend for the night. “Two more please!” She chirped, already buzzed, he knew that smile well. She was the lightest drunk he knew.
“No. And quit laughing, that dude isn’t even funny.”
He saw surprise cross over her features, “Duke, what’s your problem?” she demanded, face scrunching as she glared.
“That guy-“
“Don’t tell me what to do, that guy is nice! He’s funny and I’m being social…you’re…you’re jealous!” she accused with a sudden light of clarity.
Duke felt his face burn, which didn’t happen often; usually he could play it cool. “And if I am?”
“Then do something about it,” she challenged, before switching her hip and walking away.

Prompt Request! Duke's brother notices the connection between his brother and Jennifer and points out how cute of a couple they would make. Cue Duke over reacting.
“Ya know,” Wade drawled, words slurring slightly so that Duke rolled his eyes when he replied.
“What?”
Wade nodded to the table where Jennifer Mason was talking with Nathan Wuornos. There was a small, hopeful smile on her face as she patted his hand, not that he could feel it. He smiled slightly and with a nod, got up and left.
“You two would be a cute couple.” Wade observed.
Duke promptly began to choke on his drink, causing Wade to pat him on the back. Though “pat” was the nice term for it, Duke considered it a pummeling. “What?!”
Wade just arched his brows, “Did I stutter? She’s cute! And she’s making you…more mature. Last I knew, you were this dude who was only out for himself and his money and fuck anyone who you hurt, who cares?! But that’s not who you are right now. You’re being selfless and caring and compassionate and selfless and apparently heroic.”
“You said selfless twice.”
“I’m that surprised.”
Duke just glared, “I am a good guy, ok? She just makes it easier to see because she’s a cute little thing.”
“YOU THINK SHE’S CUTE!”
“You’d have to be blind not to think that! But I don’t think we’d be a good couple.”
Wade just chuckled and began to sing out, “Somebody’s in denialllllllllllllll.”
“Denial about what?” Jennifer asked as she approached, empty glass in hand.
Duke’s eyes grew wide and stuttered incoherently, praying he hadn’t been caught when Wade spoke up. “Denial that Picard is superior to Kirk.”
Jennifer laughed. “Screw that, Janeway all the way!”
Duke shot his brother a thankful look that didn’t last long as they were suddenly sucked into a three hour Trek debate that had the Gull in an uproar.
((I could not help the ending, its homage to the 26th anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation that I just finished marathoning today))

Prompt Request! Duke and Jennifer play a drinking game and things get spicy. ;)
angelsanarchy
“Wait…how did you forcing me to watch Star Trek turn into this?” Duke Crocker asked, taking a shot as Captain Jean-Luc Picard declared ‘energize’.
Jennifer Mason chuckled, “Because you didn’t believe me when I said if we played the TNG drinking game, we’d be hammered by the second episode.”
“How would I know? I’m not a Trekkie!” Duke insisted, Jennifer let out a maniacal laugh.. Duke just raised his eyebrows.
“You will be. Besides, you already mentioned having a thing for Tasha,” Jennifer pointed out.
Duke grinned sheepishly. “Well you didn’t tell me that this episode would be all about sex! Looking at her with that swagger and her usual control…”
“Do you want someone to dominate you?” Jennifer asked, Duke promptly spit out his drink. When he couldn’t stutter out denial, the girl just grinned. “Ooo, that’s something I never thought you’d like, Jennifer teased.
“Hey, hey, hey. You’re assuming. I think all kinks could have their merit if done right and with a partner you trust completely.”
Jennifer raised her drink in salute. “Agreed.”
That’s when he realized her hand was on his knee. His eyes darted up from her hand to her eyes, and all he could think of was how warm her hand was. One step by one step, she began to walk her fingers up his thigh. She had her lip between her teeth in apprehension.
“I’m not going to stop you,” he whispered, leaning forward and cradling her face in his palm. “And who knew Trek would get me laid.”
Jennifer chuckled, “It hasn’t yet,” she smiled, “But close…”
((Sorry I’m a tease ;) I may have a smut fic eventually))

Prompt Request! Jennifer has a panic attack and Duke talks her down and comforts her.
angelsanarchy
It was the soft sobs he heard that drew him upstairs to Audrey’s old apartment. He didn’t expect to see Jennifer curled up in the fetal position. She was lying in the kitchen by the sink, body shaking. Her hands were clenched around tuffs of hair as tears poured down her face. Her chest was raising and falling rapidly as she tried to breathe, eyes clenched tight.
“Jen, Jennifer, hey, I’m here!” Duke told her, touching her shoulder.
With a sob she jerked away from the contact. “It’s too loud, too much, it hurts. It hurts.”
Guilt churned in his stomach and he tried once again to uncurl her. This time she was a little more willing to move. “Hey, Jennifer, look at me. Open your eyes sweetie. Look at me.”
Slowly she opened her doe eyes and looked at him, all he could see was pain in her eyes. “Focus on me, focus on my voice.”
“I can’t, there’s too much…”
Duke pushed away all thoughts, taking a breath to clear his head and tried again. He wasn’t sure if she could hear him but he’d try anything to help her. Jen, Jen, I’m here. I’m not going to leave you.
With a sudden rush, she bolted up against him and he fell back in surprise. Streaching herself across his body, she buried her face into his neck. He could feel her tears soak his skin and he wrapped his arms around her. “Don’t leave me, please, don’t leave me.” She begged.
He held her tight, letting his thoughts comfort her. I will never leave you. You’re safe, I’ll keep you safe, I promise.
Slowly her breathing steadied, tears dried and neither one could let go.

Awesome! How about Jennifer singing karaoke with Duke in the crowd?
darkpterascreamer
Duke Crocker had no idea why his brother thought buying a karaoke machine with some of the money he inherited upon his “death”. He also did not know what possessed Wade to have a karaoke night. Wade insisted he at least wanted to get one used before he had to return it since Duke was actually alive. Wade was the only Crocker that had never gone to jail and would rather not go due to fraud.
He was about ready to go inside and tell them it was over it when a woman belting out Gotye. Whoever it was had some serious pipes. Intrigued he wended in and his eyes grew wide. Jennifer Mason was on stage, not looking at the screen but at the crowd. Drink in one hand, microphone in the other she sang the song she apparently knew by heart. There was one thing that was hitting him rather hard. It was the passion in her voice.
As she approached Kimbra’s part, her eyes locked on his, especially as she sang. “you said that you could let it go and I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know.”
That stung. He knew she was referring about the impending return of Audrey. She had heard the woman, they knew she was alive and if she was, she would always return to Haven. She knew Duke carried a torch for the blonde and her feelings were suddenly very clear. The crowd ate it up and was cheering for her.
“One more?” she asked, the whole bar cheered. “Fine, fine. Requests?”
Duke bellowed over the crowd, making sure she heard him. “Lost in You, Three Days Grace. Promise you won’t regret it!”
Having no idea if she’d pick up on his thoughts, he silently prayed she realized that he picked this song because he wanted her to take the lyrics to heart.
She began to sing, belting out the first verse without much thought or emotional change. “I always knew that you’d
Come back to get me
And you always knew that
It wouldn’t be easy
To go back to the start
To see where it all began
Or end up at the bottom
To watch how it all ends
You tried to lie and say
I was everything
I remember when I said
I’m nothing without you”
But as soon as she hit the chorus and continued on in the song, he heard her voice waved on a few words and he grinned. He knew he got his point across and waited for her to get off the stage. She immediately crossed to him and looked up at him with her big eyes shining. “Really?”
“Yeah.”
She blushed and looked away, which made him grin. Capturing her hand, he ran his thumb over her knuckles. “I’ve been yours from the moment you lied to the hospital and flashed that guy.” He assured her. “And I don’t know if you’ve noticed but Nathan is Audrey’s and from what they share, though she does love me, she will never love me the way she loves him. I want to have that kind of love with someone and I’m pretty sure it’s you.”
“Just pretty sure?” she asked, grinning slyly.
He grinned, “Well yeah….we haven’t even kissed yet but I’d rather wait for our first date for that.”
((I did not include the chorus lyrics so everyone who reads would have to find them because this song is glorious and oddly romantic. I hope you liked this bb! The rest of my prompts will be finished tomorrow!))
