measured_words | Prompt me!

I have an unexpected afternoon free - seems like a good time for a prompt meme!

How about another alphabet drabble challenge, then? Give me a fandom/character/pairing and a prompt for the letter of your choice and I'll write you a drabble! eg: L is for Love, Night Vale, Cecil/Carlos

Any fandom I've written before is fair game - you can look at pretty much the full list here on my AO3 page (click on expand fandom). If you want me to try something else, feel free to ask and I'll let you know whether I think I can manage it. I'm sure I have other things tucked away in here that haven't made it to AO3. Original stuff is also fair game.

Raquel almost laughed, but caught herself in time. Weihan was serious – not being playful, not putting on an act. And he still had the gun trained on her.

"You don't know me?"

He glared, concentrating. "I know you. I don't know who you are."

"It's Raquel... Weihan, what happened to you?"

He swore in frustration, aiming less certainly. And then he laughed madly. "I was shot in the head. Someone tried to kill me."

Still he didn't seem to know her – it broke her heart. "Are you so sure they didn't?"

"No." he lowered the gun, hands shaking. "I'm not."

Awwwww, poor Weihan :3 He needs a hug from Ling-ling.

"The computer's over here," Amy said, but Simon was already sliding into the dusty chair.

The screen came to life when he wiggled the mouse. "Excellent. I can get what we need from here."

Amy hesitated. "Simon... That's not even plugged in."

"Oh." He gave up the pretense of typing, letting the text stream by in a blur, faster than she could read – faster that the processor should have been able to handle.

"You can't even tell anymore, can you?"

He didn't look up. "It's just another way things are connected."

"And you can control it."

"Yes."

Amy frowned, concerned.

Sleepless

Aleyn wasn't in his own room, nor was he in Vedran's or Ardith's. He hadn't fallen asleep in any of the kids' room, which left his lab.

It took him a few minutes to answer their knocking, and he emerged looking wide eyed and alert.

"It's after midnight," Ardith said.

"I know – I was testing something, and it's got me too wired to sleep."

She nodded. "We'd been hoping you would come to bed."

"With both of you?"

Vedran smiled, taking his hand. "You're the one who's always saying that there are better ways to spend sleepless nights than working."

"I should have remembered this earlier," Sanadhìl said, passing a ring to Dozilva.

She eyed it dubiously. "Your Ring of Sustenance? It isn't just me that needs rest – it's the baby."

"I'm not suggesting that that you try and rest less... Just that it could be more efficient."

Areka leaned in the doorway, hand resting on her own smaller bump. "I don't think it would hurt."

Dozilva closed her fingers around the ring and smiled at Sanadhìl, resolving to consult a cleric. "Of course you would turn to magic, my love."

He nodded curtly. "I was just trying to help."

"What is he doing to... oh myyyyyyyy!"

Addie stared at the gif in fascination. Lil smirked. "They're capped from a website. I checked it out, but the gifs have all the best stuff, so I just follow them on tumblr."

"Wait. You had an account at a porn website? Don't you have to be a liiiiittle older for that?"

Lil made a face. "Who am I talking to here – Madison? I lied about my birthday, whatever."

"Okay but – what about your dad? Didn't it show up on his credit card?"

"I figured he just thought it was one of his..."
