Oh, what the heck!

I guess we'll find out if brevity really is the soul of wit...

1) Give me a fandom (Sanctuary is probably your best bet, but I'm willing to throw it completely open) plus character/pairing, and FIVE one-word prompts
2) I'll see if I can write you five one-sentence ficlets based on them

At least I managed to hold off almost fifteen minutes.

Sanctuary, James/Declan

tea, feathers, hope, midnight, grapefruit

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

1. Declan wraps his still shaking fingers around the tea cup his boss has just handed him, and wonders if this is standard procedure for near death experiences or if it's just a special since it's his first day.

2. "You weren't particularly attached to that pillow, were you?" he asks, a bit nervous, but James only smirks and pulls him in again.

3. At the end of the job interview, when Declan hadn't reacted at all to the various outbursts of abnormal activities that were interspersed amongst questions like "How do you deal with a crisis?" and "Describe a time when you worked with a team to solve a problem?", James allows himself some small amount of hope.

4. "You're far too young for insomnia," James says, breath warm across his ear as the clock down the hall chimes midnight and Declan tells himself, once again, that this is not a dream.

5. Declan hates grapefruit, but when he sees the breakfast tray is made up for two, he eats his half with as much sugar as he can get away with and never says a word.

you're a brilliant one, you know that, yes? I absolutely adore 3, 5 and 1. (2 and 4 are lovely too, but there's something about the odds.

Thanks! :)

*flails*

I want all the James/Declan! I think I've read everything there is, and certainly everything you've wrote that's on Ao3. It was so lovely to come here and find these little snippets! These are all wonderful, but I think 3 and 5 are my particular favorites.

If you click the Declan/James tag on A03, you'll get all of penknife's stuff too...and hers is really great.

Believe me, I have. ;) This fandom is tiny but awesome.

That's our motto!
