Alison knows the key to drawing circles: don't hesitate, pen firm, and don't worry too much about mistakes. After her dad shouted at her about art and priorities, she'd drawn them for hours, fighting back frustrated tears at her misshapen ovals. Now she loves them, loves them in the way she's always loved drawing, with a child's eye and a child's determined fight (a child's worry that no matter what, she'll never beat the grown-ups at their game), and as she draws the little oval eyes and dimpled chin on another rounded cheek, she thinks of her dad, but just in passing, rounding out the panel.
I LOVE this! You get her voice and her frustration perfectly here, as well as the lighthearted joy she gets from drawing. I'm so glad someone finally filled this prompt.
"You couldn't drag yourself to the truck?" Glitch huffed as he gave the collar of Cain's trenchcoat another tug. At least the snow made it easier to drag the unconscious man away from the hole in the ice.
Glancing toward the palace, Glitch realized it probably would have been a shorter trip if he'd dragged Cain inside, instead.
When they met there was fireworks. He looked at her and thought, I need you more than I need air. She was all he ever needed, and there was no way he was going to let her go, it didn't matter that she wasn't jewish.
She didn't want a man, didn't need a man, wasn't going to let herself be tethered to a man. A mantra repeated, the music to the dance of Cathy and Jamie spiraling ever closer. She paused to lick her lips before she kissed him, and then the room was still and silent around them.

After Karen banged and tripped her way across what felt like miles of treacherous floor and furniture, Matt guided her (both of them still laughing) to his couch and said, "Maybe we should start with something simpler, or at least something that keeps you in one place and doesn't split your focus so much."
"Oh?" Karen said, and immediately wanted to kick herself for the breathless inanity of the word and her tone of voice, and then wanted to kick herself again for the way the jump in her heartbeat and the flush of heat across her cheeks (just kissing the edge of Matt's old mask, pulled low over her eyes) might have given Matt the idea that she was upset at him instead of mildly annoyed at herself and how much this was turning her on.
"Yeah, just, I'm going to hold my hand near some part of your body so you can feel the heat and air displacement -- because nobody's ever completely still -- and see if you can reach out and touch my hand with your own: no guessing," Matt said, sliding one hand through the loose tendrils of her hair as
