Warnings/Spoilers: spoilers for Nubbins I guess
Prompt: H is for Horny (Helen/Will, Sanctuary) for
hallonpaj Notes: this is just for fun, it doesn’t really fit the episode I just wanted to get into writing again. So yes, just fun.
“It’s too dark Will.”
“It’s dark so it won’t see us coming.”
“But in this darkness…how do we see it?”
There was a pause, then some shuffling and suddenly light hit her right in the eyes. She blinked a few times before he lowered the flashlight to the dirty ground.
“What happened to your great darkness plan?”
Helen laughed as he grunted something to himself.
“What did you say?”
“Do you want to find the damn nubbins or not?”
Will took the lead down the empty corridor and Helen followed soon after. They moved slowly, their feet hardly touching the ground in fear of sounds that might scare the small abnormals. Helen held her gaze on the floor and only realized Will had stopped when she walked into him. She grabbed on hard to his arms and she felt rather proud of herself for not falling when suddenly Will spun around, pinning her to the wall behind her. The breath she had taken right before disappeared and left her chest tight, her breathing seemed heavier yet the pressure of his body against hers didn’t feel wrong. Tilting her head up at him she caught his eyes just as they moved down her body.
“Will, as nice as this is, what…?”
He quieted her with his lips on hers, his soft lips that drew her closer until her body melted into his. Hands moved all over until hers laced around his neck and his found the small area of naked skin between her trousers and her shirt. The mere touch of his fingertips sent goose bumps all over her back.
Something hairy touched her foot and she jumped back, slamming herself against the brick wall and out of Will’s embrace.
“There was a nubbin…”
“Yes.” Will nodded. “I saw it before.”
“Why did you…?”
“Oh, didn’t Ashley tell you, nubbins seem to have this effect on humans. It makes them…horny.”
“Horny?” Helen raised an eyebrow at him.
“Yes…so, uhm…” He scratched the back of his head where her fingers had been a few moments earlier. “Sorry about that.”
Helen watched as he walked back down the corridor. Shaking her head she smiled.
“You’re sorry?”
He turned around, showing a big smile.
“Well maybe not sorry.”
Title: My queen
Warnings/Spoilers:
Prompt: Q is for Queen (Richard/Kahlan, Lots) for
hallonpaj It had been well over an hour since they had laid down to sleep around the fire. When Kahlan realized she would not catch much sleep due to too many thoughts swirling around her head, she had started counting stars. As the fire slowly faded the bright lights in the sky became more visible. She spotted a constellation of five stars that formed a w and a smile crossed her face.
“Cassiopeia.”
“I didn’t know you were interested in stars.”
Kahlan turned towards Richard who was lying with his back to her.
“Did I wake you?”
“No, I couldn’t sleep.” He turned on his back and looked up at the stars. “So which one is Cassiopeia?”
“That one.” Kahlan pointed out the w shape. “Do you know how it got its name?”
“No, tell me.” Richard’s eyed now turned to her instead of the sky.
“Old stories from Greece said it represented queen Cassiopeia who boasted about her unrivaled beauty.”
Richard placed his hand over hers and squeezed it, making Kahlan turn to him. Her eyes were glistening in the tiny light the fire still offered.
“I bet her beauty was nothing compared to you.”
“Richard, I’m no queen.”
“You are to me.” He brushed away a stray tear from her cheek with the back of his hand. “You’re my queen.”
