Drabble #15
It's my 1000th post you guys! And it only took me six years to get here!
I celebrate with a drabble. ;)
For caz2y5 who wanted Castiel with either Faramir or Eomer (from Lord of the Rings). I picked Faramir, of course! The word was 'long' but...that didn't happen. The word is in there though! So it counts.

These days myths and legends walk out of the woods nigh on every day. Things told of only in song or tale and maybe even things not told of at all.
Through darkness Faramir sees the outline of a great span of wings. The tips curve and the long pinions touch his booted feet and Faramir gasps and flinches back. A pulse of blood spills over his fingers where he grasps at his side and the knife wound there. The Orc lays slain somewhere in the trees. Others are already driven off. Faramir can hear his men nearby but not near enough.
The thing in front of him moves without sound and it seems to rob Faramir of any he might make for he cannot call his men to help. It's in fear and awe that he holds his breath as the creature reaches through the darkness to his face. A man! Faramir thinks. A man with wings unheard of in legend. Unthinking, he arches his head to the reaching fingers and they graze along his cheek and light and goodness that he had forgotten spill through him.
He can see again, the darkness seems not as thick, the moon is visible from behind the clouds. The wound at his side is gone, the blood is cleaned from his hand. Faramir blinks, sees a vision of blue eyes and an almost smile and black-blue wings. He still dares not breathe but shallowly. But his men call loud from the trees and the creature beats its wings once and is gone.
Perhaps all is not dark.

The Rules:
Be the first to comment on this post and you will receive a drabble within 24 hours (or a week, whatever...). All you have to do is comment with your fandom of choice, a pairing and a word. Only the first comment gets a drabble. You cannot claim a drabble two times in a row. Gotta let someone else have some fun too. *g*
Fandoms: Firefly and Supernatural. Crossovers between these two are good. I will also do crossovers with SPN and Angel/Buffy or X-Men. I can do RPS with Alan Tudyk, Sean Maher, Nathan Fillion from Firefly. Either of the J's from SPN, Misha Collins, Richard Speight Jr. I think that's it. Oh. I can probably throw Dr. Horrible in there too. I am adding Lord of the Rings to this for now as well but only Faramir or Aragorn or Boromir or Pippin and keep in mind, I still ha^en't finished rereading it all so I don't remember all details. :P
