Fluff, Relationships, and Traditions

This entry is part 52 of 52 in the series 365 Challenge

So characters have habits, ways they interact with certain people and situations, things they do and like to do, stories and histories together. I've known a lot of my characters' for a long time but getting them all into fic is interesting, particularly for the ones I don't know that for.

I've got about five novelettes I want to turn out plus a short story, created out of the 5 Things Meme and then the whole Pieter/Ashen dynamic that originally played in my head before I even wrote that first Ashen drabble (and it is awesome to me, but got sidelined drastically with a deluge of other prompts), but, but, but...

I'm on day 265 of my challenge and story count 157 and I'm still plying angles and there's all those little things above that I'm itching to nibble at. Want to help a girl out?

Particularly of interest to me are things like where does Wesley work (not sure actually), and then relationship things that I haven't gotten to like how Justus always recognizes Shift regardless of her current form or demeanor, friendships, sibling relationships, Ilsa and her husband, etc.

Calling for prompts, as promised:

  1. character(s) and/or canon/fandom
  2. random word, quote, or other prompt

Oh, and I'll try to keep it short and fluffy or sweet. Try is the operative word. :grins:

Seven Days Ficlet: Stubborn

[personal profile] scribblemyname 2013-09-26 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
“It’s a family reunion,” Wesley said quietly from where he was sitting on the bed. “You need to go,” he reminded her.

Lena tied off her braid and eyed herself critically in the mirror, where she could see herself and her husband in a single image. “Not without you I’m not.” She turned around and started rummaging for her purse. Angelita was due off at the store in twenty minutes, which meant Lena was late.

But Wesley’s sense of time varied and just now it wasn’t particularly strong in the regard she wanted it to be. He caught her wrist and drew her closer. “You need to go,” he repeated. “Family matters.”

He was so earnest, looking at her with those hopeful, clear eyes that seemed to see so much because he had to keep them open when it was the only way to understand. But it wasn’t just hard for him and she wrapped her arms around his neck and held on tight for a long moment. She never told him that if he were to wake on a Tuesday morning without his reminders and without her, she would lose him—forever.

“I love you, Wesley.”

“You need to go,” he said gently but stubbornly.

Lena laughed softly and pulled away. The man had always been stubborn. “I need to go to the store and relieve Angelita. We can talk about it later, maybe see if your boss will give you the day off.”

Then she hurried out the door before he could protest.

Lena was also stubborn.

Yeah, she's right. She can't go without him.

That would be a terrible fear, to know that going away might mean he'd forget her forever.

Still, she'd find a way to remind him and get him back. She's that kind of stubborn, too. :)

Yes, and I've even thought about writing that story. Maybe. Maybe not. Big maybe not.

It would be a very painful one to write, so I can see your reluctance to do it. Plus... with all they have to overcome anyway, that's a lot of... unnecessary pain.
