I really enjoy the challenge of a drabble; the discipline of trying to convey an idea or emotion in precisely 100 words is a real challenge for me. And I get to play with little glimpses from the guys' lives together that wouldn't really fit into a story.
Besides, as you'll see if you read the notes to each, most of these started life while I sat in meetings or on conference calls and were an excellent antidote to the frustration and boredom that usually result in those circumstances.

Inspiration "Sometime" - could be anytime after about 104 (seriously ... I mean, it might be post S-5):
Wearing of the Green "Sometime" - could be anytime after Justin leaves home (although I think it's S-4 for some reason):

Recognition Post S-5 This is actually a full story comprising 37 different drabbles that was written for the "Gus-mas" challenge. There is a drabble for each of the 37 days from Thanksgiving to New Year. It's also set in the Justin!Rage universe, and might not be entirely comprehensible if you haven't read the first three stories in that 'verse:
