WORDS HAVE HAPPENED.

Words specifically for schiarire, and as such probably of limited interest to people who are Not Ji, but they exist and I wrote them and that is all I care about.

Three drabbles, different POVs. Fandoms (uh, such as they are) indicated by tags.

( Thomas Beech, I missed writing you. )

For lizardspots :D

( five orders Peter gave Neal in public  )

And here's the rest of them :)

( Zuko/Sokka )

( Mai/Zuko )

( Booth & Brennan & Sweets )

( Booth/Brennan )

( Naruto/Neji )

( Sakura )

All done except for that owing to sainfoin_fields, to whom I have promised a pre-series drabble as soon as I finish rewatching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya.

Some of these are better than others. Sorry.

( Eleven drabbles )

For schiarire - five things about Judas that almost made Lucifer love him

1) From the angry passion that infuses his voice to the defensive angle of his chin, he is every inch a revolutionary. The salt of Galilee is in him, bitter and rough; if not for the similarly salted winds of his desire for change, he would be entirely barren. He produces the hardy grains of determination and innovation, grown up straight and sparse in his saline personality.

The first time they meet, Judas is a little bit drunk, and he talks for almost an interrupted hour on the wrongs that he sees and the fact that someone has to hold even the most powerful of authorities accountable.

He is correct, and inspired, and doomed.

2) “Nehorai,” he says, and kisses Lucifer with neither strong affection nor ignorance of social convention; just curiosity, and a little kinship.

3) He does not trust Lucifer implicitly, and that is a good thing, because Lucifer is no longer someone that anyone should place all of their trust in. Judas does, however, recognise that he was. At one time.

4) “You’re right,” Judas says without preamble. “I know what do to.”

Lucifer shrugs one shoulder and traces a slow spiral on the back of Judas’ hand, closing his eyes for a moment over the expression of approval.

Judas lifts Lucifer’s hand away, his touch lingering a little but not too long, and looks at him with distance. “This isn’t for you,” he says.

5) Judas kills himself because he is intrinsically too proud not to; because the extrinsic pride has been replaced by shame, and that is unbearable.

'Tis the season, it appears: unravels, your postcard arrived today :) I will reiterate my jealousy that you have such events over there. And much as I would love to be part of any sort of Milli-contingent in future years, I don't anticipate having the time or money for such a venture for, oh, maybe a decade?

Still feeling woozy, still coughing, not much voice to speak of. Staying home from choir in the hopes that my vocal cords will recover in time for the rehearsal weekend.

Some more Five Times, from crazylittleme's prompts:

( Five times Faith wanted to kiss Buffy )

( and five ways Cameron tried to get over House )

Two more drabbles Longish Things Wot I Wrote from the icon exchange:

For fryadvocate: House/Wilson, featuring the normal abuse of the Ducklings. Especially Chase. Who doesn't like abusing Chase? Fry also wrote me awesome Grey's girlyfic in exchange, so you get two for the price of one here.

For lone_lilly: Addison/Derek/Meredith (not like that. well, kind of like that. er. NOT ACTUALLY PORN.)
