Flist icon drabbles Part 14
I'm now up to 7024 words in 22 fandoms, with a chunk of original fic thrown in for kicks. I now have 57 more to finish! *does a little dance*
These next five (for jmljasmine, jober, kaciagemini, kdm23 and kimera) include drabbles for Harry Potter (spoilers for Book 6, if anyone still hasn't finished it), Lotrips, Star Wars, and two pieces of original fic.
jmljasmine (Harry Potter, Hermione, 100 words)
Hermione had managed to convince herself, despite daily reminders in the Prophet of murder and mayhem in the rest of the wizarding world, that Hogwarts was an impregnable fortress.
With Ron and Harry flanking her and Dumbledore a shield for them all, Hermione had believed she was safe. Nothing could happen to any of them with the headmaster as guardian, and Dumbledore was as permanent as the stones of the school.
Staring at the white tomb in front of her, she could feel those assumptions crumbling into dust.
Suddenly, despite Ron and Harry, she felt empty, unprotected, and very alone.
jober (Original fic, 100 words)
Aliens were kept and experimented on in a lab in New Mexico by the government? Sure, I believe it.
JFK knew he'd never be more popular and actually planned his own assassination? Of course.
There's a vast governmental conspiracy that reaches up to the highest echelons of global power and influence and has stopped an automobile that runs on chewing gum from being produced, thus ensuring a continual need for fossil fuels? Who doesn't believe that?
The Pope is really Emperor Palpatine in disguise and everything in Star Wars is real? I've known it all along.
But I'll believe anything.
kaciagemini (Lotrips, Billy, Dom, 100 words)
“Dom?” Billy asked. “What the bloody hell are we doing?”
“Sniffing shoes, Bill.”
“And why are we doing this, exactly?”
Dom paused. “You know, I can’t remember.” He shrugged. “Seemed a good idea at the time.”
Billy pulled the loafer from his face. “We’ve got to find better ways to spend our free moments.”
“Lij isn’t here to taunt,” Dom said with a pout. “And this is healthier than, you know, heroin or something.”
“You take a good whiff of Viggo’s trainers and tell me it’s healthier than heroin,” Billy said.
“Point,” Dom conceded. “Wanna play Cup, then?”
“All right.”
kdm23 (Original fic, 100 words )
Her mother swears that she'd been lulled to sleep as a baby with history textbooks and that she'd covered herself in newsprint rolling in her father's copies of the Washington Post. She doesn't doubt it-she's sure she has ink and paper in her blood.
She gets a thrill opening a brand-new book and goose bumps flipping through pages of an ancient text.
There are billions of written words and she's determined to read as many of them as possible. With a stack of books in front of her and a cup of tea in her hand, she gets to work.
kimera (Star Wars, Obi-Wan, 101 words)
Obi-Wan had been carefully watching the boy, but he'd found it easier to observe from a distance.
Obi-Wan hadn't been face-to-face with him since Luke'd been toddling around the Lars's moisture farm and warping Obi-Wan's name to "Ben." Seeing a younger, more open version of Anakin in front of him after so many years was a bit of a shock.
The message from Leia was another.
Events were coming together. The Force was calling him out of exile to train another Skywalker. "Must not fuck this up again," Obi-Wan thought with an inward wince, moving towards the trunk holding Anakin's lightsaber.
