Give me any character or pairing in a fandom (or two) that I'm familiar with, and I'll write you a 100 word drabble.

Monsters (i,ii,iii)
Date: 2005-08-19 02:39 pm (UTC)Yes.
i.
"They're monsters," Jayne said. "If they catch you, they'll rip you into little bitty pieces and then," he paused and his eyes widened for emphasis. Little Mattie was staring at him, mouth hanging open in shock. "Then, they eat you!"
Mattie blinked once, then again. His thumb sat limply in his mouth as he stared at his older brother in mute horror.
Jayne, put out that his tale wasn't having the desired effect, decided on more drastic measures. "Like this!" And he darted forward to sink sharp teeth into his brother's arm.
Mattie's body stiffened all over as he screamed.
ii.
"They're monsters,"” Jayne said. He checked the lock on the door once more, just to be safe.
Little Niss was sucking on her thumb and fussing, and Mattie was scowling under his overlong fringe.
"Ain't no such thing as Reavers," he said mutinously, but his eyes were wide; his pupils mere pinpricks.
"Right," Jayne said, patting his gun nervously. "Right. I'll just... I'll just sit with alla yous and watch Niss for a bit."
When dark fell, Mattie crawled into his lap. "Can't sleep, Jayne," he whispered. "The Reavers will get me."
Jayne smoothed down his hair as they waited.
iii.
"They're monsters, Doc," Jayne said. "I don't much fancy your chances in a fight."
"I'd rather fight than sit here and just wait for them!" He grabbed hold of Jayne's arm. "You can’t just lock me out of the way!"
"They mightn't even venture this far downship, if you're lucky," Jayne said, lying.
Simon's face twisted. "I can fight," he hissed desperately. "Please."
After a long pause, Jayne handed him a single gun.
"There are only two bullets in here!"
"Yeah." Jayne's eyes went to the far bunk, where River rocked herself back and forth, humming. "That's all you need."

"Yeah."
"I mean, it was really-"
"Yeah."
"I'm serious, Syd! I don't think I've ever felt this way before. It's like... it's like I'm tingly all over, like I've got pins and needles or something. In a good way! It was really good. I liked it. I mean, after I got over the initial shock and pain."
"And you also screamed like a girl," Syd said, laughing.
Will smiled. "Yeah, and the screaming like a girl part." He looked at her sideways. "Do people do this for fun? Seriously?"
"What's not fun about it?"
"Well, there was the pain, and also the shock, and I hate to say it, but you did bring up the screaming. I don't think it goes with my new rock star persona." He preened slightly.
Syd laughed. "No, I think that just adds to the role. You can't be taken seriously as a rock star unless you visit the sauna in whatever hotel you stay in."
"Is this what years of super-spying teaches you? All those times I thought you were crawling through barbed wire in the muddy trenches –"
"That’s trench warfare you’re thinking of. Like my job. Only not."
"Better dental?" She flicked a towel at him, laughing, and Will felt his heart swell dangerously. After we get outta here, I'm never going to see her again. There was probably time enough before their Ultra Secret Super-Spy Mission (tm) to have sex again, or flirt a little while longer, or – "hey, Syd? Let's give this plunge pool thing of yours one more go. I think I can be manlier this time. Big. Strong. Rock Star-y."
She rolled her eyes. "I think you're going to scream like a little girl again."
"Oh, well, if you’re gonna use the truth against me..."

Date: 2005-08-20 10:45 am (UTC)You learned this the hard way, through trusting and being trusted, and now know better.
Are there any secrets you wish to keep? Are there any thoughts you do not wish to share?
What will you give of yourself?
The words vary from language to language, but the thought behind them remains the same: do not trust too much. Do not give too much.
There is a certain level of joining that only the highest-rated telepaths can indulge in; a pure, unadulterated joining of minds. Too young with Montoya, you have confided yourself to superficialities and tokens of affection that were still, at the end of it, too much.
There is a certain level of joining that you could indulge in that cannot be measured and cannot be controlled. Carolyn has done it before and would welcome it with you. You do not have to look to know this: you can see it in the curve of her smile and the brightness in her eyes.
You have never partaken of it. You never will.
The closest you have come to it was a gun clenched in your hand and the stars exploding above.
When Carolyn touches you, it is with a bare hand. Her mind is open before you and you could know it all, if only you looked. It is more of an effort to not look, really; to not touch her and not know her.
Love. Duty.
She reaches up to kiss you and you can feel the life inside her stir.
Love.
Duty.
You have never asked her why she went rogue.

Harry follows the contours of Ron's body with his hands, tracing each curve and angle and swell of muscle. He counts each and every freckle with trembling fingers and smoothes down Ron's hair carefully.
"Harry," Hermione says softly. "Harry, we have to go now."
Harry takes his hands away from Ron's body; from whatever it is that makes this clasp of flesh Ron. "All right," he says. He stands up and walks away, Hermione's quiet tears damp on his sleeve.
He has none of his own.
As they exit the dingy little room, the next mourner in line steps forward.
