1st Drabble Challenge - beatlelover22

March 23, 2014

AN: I saw this one floating around I figured I might as well give it a go! What I'll try to do is a drabble per day, random fandoms I suppose! If you want to leave a request for a fandom, I'll list out the ones I can do! Also, I realise some of the prompts are 18+ (ie: kink, fuck) and I've read the rules and to my understanding, I'm not actually allowed to do those prompts, but I'll see if I can think of a subsitute for any 18+ prompts. Thanks everyone!

Fandoms: Supernatural, Merlin, Doctor Who, Prison Break, The Beatles, The Monkees, Star Trek (TOS and the new films), Harry Potter, Sherlock, Hannibal, Teen Wolf, Avengers, The Walking Dead, Black Butler, Dr. Horrible, Les Mis and Loki. Keep in mind I'm probably forgetting a bunch.

01. "

Fandom: Superantural

Characters/Pairings: Dean Winchester/Castiel

Prompt: Squint

Castiel did a lot of squinting in his life time. The angel did it so much in fact, Dean liked to call it his "signature squint". Even Sam found some humour in it. So when Dean looked up from his cup coffee in time to see his friend squinting at him, he could say he was very surprised.

"Cas, we really should get your eyes checked one of these days." Dean chuckled. "I mean, I know you're an angel and all but maybe you could use some contacts or something." He took a long sip of the warm drink.

"D-Dean." The angel's voice sounded exasperated. "S-something is wrong."

Dean's jaw tightened. "What? What's the matter?"

"Ihh... it's my v-vessel. It's hahh... malfunctioning." Castiel's eyes narrowed until they were barely open.

"Cas? Are you gonna--"

"Hehh... hehIHShoo!" The angel's head snapped forward as he sneezed, his frame visibly shaking. "HuhCHSHHH!"

Dean looked thoughtful, then returned to scanning the newspapers for cases. "Hmm. Never heard you sneeze before."

"Wha-what?" Cas was furiously rubbing his nose. "It still ihhh... itches."

"Here, you can use this." The hunter tried hard not laugh at his friends contorting face as he handed him a tissue.

"Heschhhuh!"

March 23, 2014

Aw, this is so good. I love how Castiel has no idea what's going on. I can't wait to read more of these!

(No, you can't post 18+ stuff here but you could wait until you have access to the adult boards or think of substitute takes on the words? Like "fuck" could be an exclamation rather than an act and "kink" could be just the part before the 18+ stuff happens? I don't know. They're just suggestions )

Brilliant suggestions at that! Thanks very much, I'll do that! I'm glad you liked the first drabble

02. "Getting It Under Control"

Fandom: Merlin

Characters/Pairings: Merlin, Arthur Pendragon

Prompt: Control

"Hehh... hehSHUH!"

"Merlin!" Arthur hissed. "Keep quiet."

They were on a hunt together. Or rather, Arthur was trying to hunt and Merlin was... well, Merlin was sneezing. As they crouched behind a bush, the young wizard wrinkled his nose in a desperate attempt not to sneeze.

"HetchSHUh!" Merlin quickly turned away from the king and sneezed.

Arthur threw up his hands in annoyance. "Might as well head back now."

"B-but Sire, we haven't even caught any th-thing..."

"Because you keep scaring all the game off with your maddening sneezes!"

"I cahh... can't h-help it! Ehh... etch! It's my allergies."

"Can't Gaius do something for them?"

"He's w-working on it." Merlin mumbled, rubbing his nose.

Before Arthur could utter another word, a beautiful stag wondered out into the middle of the clearing and leaned over to eat the vegetation. Without blinking, the king retrieved his bow and focused on his target. Much to Merlin's horror, his nose began to itch.

"Ihhh... heh..."

Arthur stared at Merlin, silently screaming at him to knock it off and get control of himself. However, Merlin's eyes begged Arthur to do something, like take aim already.

"Hahhh... ehh! AHhh--" Merlin's sneeze was cut off abruptly by a finger jammed underneath his nose. Arthur rubbed it a bit before lowering his finger from the other man's nostrils.

"Thanks." Merlin mouthed silently. Arthur merely raised his bow and took the shot.

March 24, 2014

I haven't seen enough Supernatural to have a lot of context for your first drabble, but I really liked reading it anyway. "The angel did it so much in fact, Dean liked to call it his 'signature squint'" totally made me laugh out loud. And the Merlin one is just ridiculously cute, especially how Arthur doesn't even acknowledge the favor at the end.

If you're looking for requests, I'd love to see Les Mis (a fandom that needs more representation here!), Star Trek TOS, or (predictably, for me) Hannibal. This is an awesome start!

March 24, 2014

Where has this thread been all my life? I must say I'm now getting hungry for updates.

03. "Hot and Bothered"

Fandom: Les Misérables

Characters/Pairings: Marius/Éponine

Prompt: Sweat

"Monsieur Marius, why are you not in bed?" Éponine Thénardier rushed over to Marius and helped him back into bed. He weakly tried to push her away.

"I must... I must s-see Enjolras." he muttered, attempting to stand again.

Éponine scoffed. "You'll do no such thing. Look, you're sweating with fever." She gently guided him back to his bed and brought the blankets up to his chin. "Marius, I already spoke to Enjolras and he told me to watch over you."

"HaphSHhh!" Marius turned away from his friend and sneezed. "AhhH! HehhISHH!"

"Bless, Monsieur."

"Pardon," he replied, obviously embarrassed, "but do you have a handkerchief?"

She nodded and handed him a simple piece of cloth. "It's no trouble."

Marius shivered and blew his nose, his cheeks flushed a bright crimson. Assuming Éponine would not want her handkerchief back, he tucked it in his front pocket for safekeeping.

"Begging your pardon, but isn't it a bit warm in here? I do feel a bit faint." He admitted, running a shaking hand through his hair. Éponine sighed. She felt terrible for him.

"I'll fetch a cool rag."

Minutes later, she came back to find him half asleep, snoring lightly. "Oh, Marius..." she breathed, placing the damp cloth on his forehead. "If only you knew how beautiful you were."

***

Hours later, Éponine was awoken by coughing. Not hers, of course. She blinked herself awake and rubbed her eyes.

Marius was curled up underneath the few blankets he had and she could see his form was trembling.

"Are you cold, Marius?" she asked. "I can fetch more blankets from--"

"N-no, thank you." He murmured, voice laced with uneasy sleep. "I w-wouldn't want to... to... hahh..." He scrambled to unfold his handkerchief and just barely got it open in time to catch his sneeze. "AhSHHHT!" Marius sniffed and wiped his nose. "I wouldn't want to inconvenience you."

The young woman smiled. "I'll get them right away."

March 26, 2014

AN - Before I continue, this drabble contains spoilers for season two and three of Breaking Bad. Thanks!

***

04. "Higher than the Average Chemistry Grade"

Fandom: Breaking Bad

Characters/Pairings: Jesse Pinkman

Prompt: Needles

Jesse Pinkman hadn't slept well since the death of his girlfriend. Walter had urged him to try and get some sleep and had warned him that he'd fall ill if he didn't get some shut eye. Something about "lack of sleep lowers your immune system". Jesse had rolled his eyes and muttered a "whatever", but here he was, sweating out some fever on the top of his bed.

"Ahh... Hah!" Jesse sighed, rubbing his nose. He'd had to sneeze for what seemed like days but it just didn't seem to come. Or maybe it wasn't days... it could've been weeks. Or hours, perhaps. Hell, he didn't know. Jesse had been on an insane high for some time, nearly continuous. What day was it, again? It couldn't have been too long though, or Walter would've tried to contact him.

With another false start, the young man sniffed loudly and rolled over on his side, facing the night stand. There was a Polaroid picture of Jane, oh God, Jane. Before he could think better of it, a needle was in his hand. As the needle slipped easily into his skin, Jesse slipped very much out of reality.

"H-hoh G-God..." he moaned, arching his back as the euphoria coursed through his body. Jesse's blue eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling and beginning to water. "HehhASHHHuhh!"

It was the most satisfying sneeze he had ever felt.

March 26, 2014

AN - So I'm currently ignoring the fact that I have a chemistry exam tomorrow and instead, I'm writing my drabble of the day. Enjoy!

05. "Pending Assignments"

Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series

Characters/Pairings: Spock/Captain Kirk, Uhura

Prompt: Assignment

"Captain's log, Stardate 1313.8. We've--"

"HurESHOO!"

Jim Kirk was abruptly cut off by his first officer's sneezing.

"Pardon." Lieutenant Commander Spock said with a sniff as Kirk deleted the entry and started over. They were still on the bridge and Kirk was recording the day's events. Trying to, rather.

"Captian's log, Stardate 1313.8. We've just beamed up from an unidentified, relatively unexplored Class M planet, but not before being caught in an intense rain stor--"

"Huhh... hurESHOO! EshOO!" The first officer's head snapped forward as he sneezed into his hands. Uhura gave him a knowing look and handed him a small container of hand sanitizer. If Kirk's eyes didn't deceive him, he could've sworn he'd seen the tint of Spock's cheeks blush a slight shade of green.

The captain sighed and decided to continue anyway. "... rain storm. A few members of our crew," he glanced at Spock, who was lightly rubbing his nose, "were caught in said rain storm, but the only damage done seems to be--"

"Ehh... EhKETSHoO!"

"... a mild case of the common cold. That's all for now." He clicked off the recording device and slowly walked over to the Vulcan. "Spock..." He spoke quietly, trying to avoid unnecessary attention from the rest of the crew. "You should go to your quarters and rest."

"Captain, with all due respect, I politely decline. I have a few more assignments I would like to complete." Vulcan pride was a tricky, tricky thing to get around.

"I appreciate all the effort you're putting in but you're clearly ill. Whatever it is, you can finish up tomorrow, or the next day even. We're not in a hurry out here." Kirk gestured to the wide stretch of space around them.

"There's still a rehh...eh hem, repah... AHK'SHHOOO!"

Kirk let out an exasperated sigh. "Come on, Spock. Give it a rest. You can finish any reports later; let's go."

"J-Jim..." The Vulcan was still struggling with a sneeze and it was obvious.

"Spock, let's go." Captain Kirk repeated firmly. "Before I have to call Doctor McCoy."

"Alright, I will f-finish in a couple of hahh... hours."

"Tomorrow." Kirk corrected, leading his first officer off the bridge and into the main corridor.

March 27, 2014

Ooh, Star Trek! I love it! Especially the buildups!

March 28, 2014

AN - I'm definitely going to continue these because I've gotten some positive feedback and I don't know, it's really nice! Besides, I do need practise writing!

06. "Work to Be Done"

Fandom: Hannibal (television show)

Characters/Pairings: Will Graham, Hannibal Lecter

Prompt: Tissue

Will Graham had been fighting a cold for a couple of days and his situation didn't seem to be improving, although he'd managed to disguise it from the rest of his acquaintances. However, his illness had progressed into something of a more noticeable matter.

"Ihh... KSHhhh!" Will turned his head and sneezed, off to the side and out of the way. Thankfully, he'd finished the day's lectures without any real slip-ups. His new task was just getting through the day without drawing attention. All he wanted to do was finish up some work Jack had kindly left him. That was all.

But as Will's fingers tapped his computer's keyboard, the infuriating tickle crept back into his sinuses. "ESHhhh!"

He groaned, feeling another one coming on. Completely disregarding his laptop, Will slid his chair back and focused on the impending sneezes. "Ehh... KSHOO! Kshh! Ehh... ESHXT!" The last sneeze, a clearly failed stifle, caused his nose to run consistently. Will blindly groped around his desk for a box of tissues, soon realising there weren't any. "D-dah... damn... ihh hiihhh... IhSHOO!" Even cursing was impossible in the state he was in.

"Bless you."

Will attempted to squint through his watery eyes, but he didn't need to; he knew exactly who was standing in his doorway.

"Doctor Lector. I'b sorry, is there sobethig I you wanted? I didn'd hear you cobe id." He sniffled, his wrist underneath his flaring nostrils, ebbing his runny nose.

"I didn't knock." Hannibal explained, stepping in the room. "Here. It sounds like you're in dire need of these." He handed a box of tissues to Will and sat down across from him.

"Uhh... I don'd dow if I'd do thad if I were you." Will snatched a tissue and blew his nose before he had the chance to sneeze again. "I'b probably very contagious."

"I'm not afraid of falling ill." Hannibal said. "I'm more concerned for your health."

Will gives him a watery smile. "I'b fide. It'd just ah... hahhh... kMMPshh!" He pinched his nose in an effort to quiet his sneeze and extended his left hand out for feel for the box of tissues. Will heard the sound of a few tissues being pulled out of the box and put directly into his hand. He accepted them gratefully, burying his face into them. "Hahh... ESHhhhhmp!" The soft tissues muffled the sound a bit, much to Will's relief.

Hannibal placed a hand on Will's arm after he's done. "Will, get some rest." He advised just as Will reared up for another sneeze.

March 28, 2014

Ooh, Star Trek! I love it! Especially the buildups!

THANKS! LLAP I'm glad you're liking them!

March 28, 2014

Oh my gosh, these are so cute!!

March 28, 2014

Ooh, some Will up in here! I love him!!

March 29, 2014

AN - Sort of spoilers for the beginning of The Walking Dead, season four

***

07. "Nothing Special About It"

Fandom: The Walking Dead

Characters/Pairings: Daryl Dixon/Beth Greene

Prompt: Victory

Although Rick and the others had successfully settled at the prison with as much of a "normal" life as they could create, their new society was far from victory. The recent influenza epidemic had rendered nearly half of their population useless and about a quarter dead.

Daryl stealthily crept through the woods. He'd been tracking a deer for about twenty minutes now, stalking it and making damn sure it didn't hear him coming. They stocked up on food and had enough supplies to last them a good while, however, Daryl had to get away from that prison-turned-hospital. The persistent coughing, moaning and sneezing were making him irritable, though he supposed that was a little heartless to think.

A cracking noise, most likely the snapping of a stick, caused both him and the deer to look over their shoulders.

"Hey." Beth waved, stepping out from the shade. "I was just wondering if you were okay."

The deer bolted and Daryl sighed, lowering his crossbow. "I'm fine. Just, ya know, huntin'. Or I was huntin'."

"Oh... sorry. I just... well, when you left the prison, I thought..." she trailed off. "I dunno what to think any more. What with the sickness spreading like wildfire."

"C'mon." He gestured forward. "I've gotta find somethin' for dinner, but you can come with."

She followed him and see no game, eventually walked in front of him, pushing back tree branches left and right. "You know, it's so beautiful out here. I just love early spring, don't you?"

Daryl huffed, always having to catch the branches that Beth forgot to hold back for him so as not to get hit in the face. "I guess. Whole lotta flowers out, which seems to bring other animals out."

"Yeah... spring is rebirth of all life, really."

The hunter paused, pondering what she'd just said. "Well, I don't--"

A large branch covered in white flowers smacked him directly on the nose, leaving a dusting of pollen.

Beth turned and gasped. "Oh, sorry, I didn't even see--"

"Nnngggxxt!" Daryl pressed his knuckles hard up against his nostrils, effectively stifling a sneeze.

Beth let out a laugh that sounded a lot like the tinkling of bells. "Was that supposed to be a sneeze?" she asked laughing, hands on her hips.

"Ehh... kshhht!" He sniffled and rubbed his nose roughly. "Yeah? What of it?"

She giggled again. "I dunno, it just sounded so--"

"HehhESHHT!" Daryl pinched his nose. "I hab allergies. Nothin' special aboud id."

March 29, 2014

Ooh, some Will up in here! I love him!!

Me too! I also love Hannibal, despite the fact that he EATS people!

March 29, 2014

Oh my gosh, these are so cute!!

Thanks :3 OHmygosh I love your Monkees gifs and the Fonz quote! SOOO cute!

March 29, 2014

Ooh, some Will up in here! I love him!!
Me too! I also love Hannibal, despite the fact that he EATS people!

I think he's just a likable character, despite his eating habits.

March 30, 2014

AN - I watched The Pianist awhile ago and have been wanting to write a short ficlet about it. Let me just say I understand the film is about the devastating, horrible effects of the Holocaust and I am not trying to lighten it or disrespect anyone by writing a meaningless dabble about it. If you're offended by the fact I chose to write this, know I apologise profusely and I'm still kind of new here, so I'm unsure if I'll be abole to take it off... I just needed a way to cope with that movie and I guess this is it

08. "Put Those Away"

Fandom: The Pianist

Characters/Pairings: Wladek Szpilman and his family (Henryk, Halina, Regina and their parents)

Prompt: Money

"The Germans will take everything you know," Henryk Szpilman pointed out. "Tables, chairs, violins, anything."

"That's not the only problem. Jews are only allowed to keep 2,000 zloty in the home, at most." Regina added. "And we've got more than that."

"Well, where are we going to hide the money, then?" Mrs. Szpilman inquired.

Halina snapped her fingers as an idea came to her. "The flower pots!"

Wladek, who had been listening the whole time, raised his eyebrows. "Flower pots? But we don't have any--"

"I bought some just today, because they looked so beautiful. Aren't they, though?" She brought two large pots containing white crocuses in full bloom and set the down in front of her brother. "See, we'll put the remaining money in the pots, just bury it beneath the dirt. No German would ever think to look there."

Father nodded. "I suppose that would work."

Meanwhile, Wladek's nose was itching something awful and he couldn't help but sneeze. "Hehschkk!"

"No, no, that won't work. I'm telling you, these soldiers will search everywhere. What we need to do is hide it in plain sight." Henryk put the money directly on the table and placed an open newspaper on top of it. "See? Totally inconspicuous."

"Ehh... chssk! Hesshhh!"

"Bless, Wladek." Mother told him as Henryk and Halina continued to argue.

"Eshh! Haahh... atschhh! EESSSHHHkK!" The sneezes were getting more and more desperate, enough so that the young man was actually somewhat embarrassed by them. As his nostrils flared, his eyes watered and he sniffled a bit.

"Halina!" Henryk snapped, slamming his hand on the table. "The flowers won't work."

"And why ever not? Nobody ever listens to me!"

"HahhESKK!"

"Because Wladek's allergic to them!"

So Halina was forced to give up her plan and listen to her brother.

omg just found these and they are wonderful!! mmm sneezy merlin...can we see more lol?

March 30, 2014

omg just found these and they are wonderful!! mmm sneezy merlin...can we see more lol?

Really? :3 Thanks so much, I'm glad you like 'em! Of course I'll do more Merlin... I am quite a fan!

March 30, 2014

oh, yay, so many fandoms I’m into! Definitely following this thread.

The Les Mis one is adorable, and I haven’t seen a whole lot of Marius fic (or Marius+Eponine friendship), so that was refreshing. Also, ORIGINAL TREK! I’ve seen the reboot movies and liked them okay, but my heart forever belongs to TOS, and particularly to Leonard Nimoy’s Spock—and while I don’t know which canon you were envisioning here, since you didn’t specify, I’m choosing to visualize it as the original-series characters. I really like your stoic, stubborn Spock, and how Kirk is just so persistent with him.

…and sick, sneezy Will Graham is currently one of my favorite things in the entire world, so I just did a happy little bounce in my chair when I saw you’d written him. I love allllll of it, but especially Will worrying more about being contagious than about his own comfort (so in character and so sad <3), and Hannibal touching Will’s arm as he’s building up (hnnngh), and especially:

He pinched his nose in an effort to quiet his sneeze and extended his left hand out for feel for the box of tissues. Will heard the sound of a few tissues being pulled out of the box and put directly into his hand. He accepted them gratefully, burying his face into them.

Yup, bulletproof kink right there, thank you very much.

Can’t wait to see more of your writing!

March 30, 2014

Can’t wait to see more of your writing!

You're so wonderful! I'm so glad you liked it and yes, sorry, I meant to use the original Star Trek characters! Leonard Nimoy is to die for! Thanks for all the nice comments, they really made me smile!
