>>You give me a couple, any couple (so long as I've played one of the characters) and I'll write a drabble around 100 words. This can be ANY couple (anything; platonic, romantic, fluffy/cute, etc.), and it can have been a game-canon couple, or something completely off-the-wall. Back-history, future, AU [crack] all allowed. If you want a particular theme or rating, let me know. The ratings will be anywhere from G to NC-17 (but that's iffy in 100 words).

/ = Shippyness and "and" means ordinary interaction

caradoc & emmeline

Are you----"

Caradoc stood at her doorstep, trying to not look like he had just sprinted down a flight of stairs, raced out of Mungo's front door, apparated in the middle of the street to Bristol, and jumped up three steps in front of Emmeline's flat all to bang furiously on her door. Because he had, and right then, he didn't exactly want her to think that he had been, and still was, worried about--- her. Because he wasn't. But now that he saw her, standing with both her hands on her hips, it was obvious she wasn't sick with any illness.

But--- wait. This wasn't right. Caradoc simply stared at her for a few moments, trying to let his brain put all the floating information together. Gibbon had told him in the hospital that Emmeline was already sick-- well, he hadn't actually told him specifically, Caradoc had overheard Tobias talking about it to another Healer that she had definitely 'got it'. And every time he had tried to get a hold of her from the hospital (damn stupid people), Emmeline's fireplace had been busy, which only fueled everything that going through his head because who's fireplace wasn't busy unless something bad was happening these days? It had forced him to actully believe Gibbon, and the rest was history.

His eyes trailed away from her face for a few moments, and he felt his stomach give another jerk. Alright. Leave. Leave leave leave. But Caradoc couldn't, and he didn't want to. What he really wanted to do, and he really shouldn't, it wasn't--- she probably would stop him anway, but--- "Oh, fuck it," Caradoc promptly stated, then didn't wait another second to move his both hands to roughly clutch both sides of her face and push his lips forcefully on her's. Minor details later, much later.

This man was absolutely fucking insane.

That was the last and only thought running through Emmeline's head before he kissed her---holy shit, Caradoc Dearborn was---kissing her, grabbing her, snogging her and her hands clutched to the front of his shirt because there was nothing else she could, nothing else she wanted to do. Ohh, she had been so bloody mad at him only a few days prior but the anger she'd felt had upset her like no other; it wasn't right to get so---well, crazy over a single comment, but. He--her hands gripped at his shoulders then pressed against his neck before going to the back of his head and pulling him closer because---just---she needed to touch him.

Thud.

ralph & miranda

You are," she started, voice cracking already, but she would say this. Miranda cupped his face in her hands, making sure that he was paying attention (because this was serious business), "You are stuck with me, Ralph Merridew, you are stuck with me no matter--no matter what. Is that clear?"

Suddenly, it dawned on Ralph how serious this was--- Miranda was. Not that he hadn't known before, because obviously when your ex-girlfriend (current girlfriend? It was beyond complicated at this point) came to you in the middle of the night after nearly breaking your neck in a Quidditch match, ready to ball her eyes out with that face that she had on and practically laying with him on the bed, it was--- serious. Very serious. And blame his stupidity, or the fact that his head still was throbbing to catch up, but yes. He got it, now.

As Miranda shifted, Ralph moved to get at least one arm around her waist. He felt his stomach give a--- a, something like a burst as she brought her hands to his face, and from then on he couldn't stop looking at her. This--- this--- this was Miranda, how could he have been so stupid to think that--- that not being with her would be okay? He needed her. He needed her to be around him, and to make him laugh, and keep him in line and be his girlfriend because there was no one else, it was only her. With her every touch, Ralph felt his skin jump and itch like it always did, and a chill went up his spine as she grabbed onto his face. Miranda was it, she was--- the one, because no one had even come close to make him feel like this before; it was impossible to love someone as much as he felt about her right then.

Ralph began to nod his head at her, almost numbly. Yes, yes--- yes. A small smile crept onto his face as he leaned in to her a bit. "What would I do without you?" he asked tenderly, just above a whisper. "You're---- Miranda Daisy Dodderidge. I can't live without you."

sebastian & mackenzie

God, he should not be glad that his wife was hurting, but maybe she finally understood. Sebastian wasn't a whiner for no reason, he didn't bitch and moan to cause a scene. He let so much slide by because he would rather be relaxed and calm, he didn't like starting trouble, getting into trouble. Sebastian spoke when he knew it was necessary, when he felt like he could make a difference, so--maybe.

"I want to come home," Sebastian let out lowly, feeling like a child ready to cry to his mother. Defenseless! He was a complete wreck of a human being at the moment, and his slumped posture gave the impression that he'd been defeated. Defeated by life, it felt like.

The other healers entered the room at this point, carrying vials of potions and jars of substances that Sebastian didn't like the look of. His eyes widened and he reached out for Mackenzie, praying that she'd hold onto him during whatever the healers were planning to do.

That simple confirmation was all she needed. Despite everything, Mackenzie rushed forward, not stopping until her arms were completely wrapped around his neck and she had buried her face into him. Sebastian's familiar scent overwhelmed her, and the tears she had been holding back for so long finally came pouring out. She shook as she held onto him tightly, feeling just fine with the fact that she could never let go and be happy the rest of her life.

Mackenzie began to nod furiously through her tears. "I want-- I want you to come home too!" she sobbed. "Please come home! I don't--- I can't--- I can't live without you!" Her fingers moved to wrap themselves into his hair as she cried harder, completely unable to stop now. She didn't care if he wasn't ready for them to go back to normal, or if he still wanted to talk about it (so much had happened in the past week, she wouldn't even know where to begin), no, she didn't care about any of that, because whatever he wanted, she would do it. No questions asked, no arguing no... nothing. This was all her fault and she was going to fix it.

noah & odette

How was his mind managing to keep him so neutral while the rest of his body, and Odette, were having total meltdowns?

Noah blinked again and kept his arms tightly around her. A report? Oy, had it leaked already? He flushed, wondering if he was the last person in the wizarding world to find out that they were having a baby. But--that wasn't the most important thing right now. Right now all that mattered was the two of them.

The three of them.

Four, with Terry. How the hell had they managed, under a year, to become a family of four? Noah let out a breath and leaned into her arm. "It's going to be okay, I---second? Well...you could be back on the field next season, right? He'll---she'll...the baby can just come to work with me and Terry, and..."

Noah sighed, his hand rubbing her back in a comforting manner, "I know...you didn't want to have kids, and I respect that, so...I promise to make this as stress free as possible, Odette, I--" Noah never thought, in his life, that he'd feel the need for some sweeping romantic gesture, but here he was. "I'm yours, I'll--I'm going to do anything and everything for you and the baby, I promise you."

Her body and hands unclenched as Odette immediately quieted after Noah's words. Still sniffling, she looked at him for a very long time, letting her brain catch up to her thoughts. That was probably one of the most thoughtful and caring, not to mention very open (especially for them) things that anyone had said to her in a long time. And if she wasn't in the state she was in now, Odette probably would have laughed at Noah for saying it, but she wasn't. In fact, it made her heart fill lighter and her head feel less muddled.

A feeble smile appeared on her lips as she leaned to curl into his chest. For a few seconds, she simply breathed, brushing away the last of her tears. "I didn't--- tell anyone because I wanted to tell you first." Odette paused as she reached to play with the button on his shirt. "No one knows yet, and-- the team is upset, but--" it would be lying to say that she didn't care, but right now she suddenly realized how important Noah was. How important Noah, and Terry, this baby... her family should matter more to her than quidditch, so it would. Of course, she had understood that before, but now she really understood it.

will & rhys

How's your aim, Nott?" Will said with a challenging grin, though he motioned for his friend to move a bit to the side; the spell was going to bounce off of Will's protego shield, and he reckoned that Rhys wouldn't want a face full of boils--even though it would be hilarious. He patted his shoulder, looking at Bole and his slack jaw with a wicked grin, going into his dueling stance once again.

Rhys tossed Bole's wand across the room with a smirk, and smiled even wider once the man caught it perfectly. Oh, this was going to be fun. Adrenaline suddenly rushed through his body all the way down to his toes. Or perhaps it was just a simple surge of power, but either way, he definitely liked the way it felt. He could make this man do anything--- anything-- with a simple flick of his wrist. Anything he wanted; do a dance, jump off the table, kill himself....was there anything disconcerting about that? No, Rhys didn't think so. He found it beyond thrilling.

"We'll see, you need the practice, yes?" he replied, watching as the other man slowly mimicked Will to stand in a duel stance also. Rhys had never really fancied himself as a good dueler, per say, but that shouldn't translate too much into Bole; he could do anything now. Well, anything that he thought up of.

Taking a hint, Rhys looked around for a proper place to stand to get out of the way. The room was rather small, with the table being the main center piece, leaving just enough space for Bole and Will, but that was about it. As Bole seemingly prepared himself (by staying frozen in his position), Rhys heaved himself on top of the table to sit cross-legged and out of the way, for the most part. He was fairly sure he was capable of ducking if anything of that sort came toward him but would be unlikely.

Without a further word, Rhys jerked his wand again and Amadeus Bole came to life. "Furnuculus!" the other man yelled abruptly, a yellow jet of light speeding out of his wand.

Knowing what hex was coming helped a great deal, and Will wasted no time in deflecting the spell, sending it hurling into the bookcase and causing the texts to plummet from their shelves and onto Bole---or Bole's body, it was a bit odd to think that this was actually a man standing there, and not a puppet. Though, next time (if they could ever be so lucky to have a next time so similar to this) Will would gladly take the job of puppeteering, as simply being able to hex the man without having any sort of concern about a rampant, surprise spell was intoxicatingly enjoyable.

"Mr. Bole!" Will shouted in his best 'auror voice', though he was grinning almost madly "Put down your wand, you've been warned---hey--"

He deflected the spiraling red hex up into the ceiling (and just barely before it cut off a chunk of his leg) and glared hard at Rhys, who was obviously going to make this some sort of game. Not that Will hadn't been thinking of it like that, but---Rhys wasn't the one getting hexes and jinxes hurled at him. "Now, now that's just not nice."

Happy Birthday Ron!!!!!!!

Pretend like it's the weekend now ♥ Half of My Heart ; John Mayer
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been

that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
oh with half of my heart
♥ Write You a Song ; Plain White T's
I don't know how to make lots of money
I got debts that I'm trying to pay
I can't buy you nice things, like big diamond rings
But that don't mean much anyway
I can't give you the house you've been dreaming
If I could I would build it alone
I'd be out there all day, just hammering away
Make us a place of our own
I will write you a song
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong
I will write you a song
And you'll know from this song that I just can't go on without you

♥ Accidentally in Love ; Counting Crows
So she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it
How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me
but I don't know nothing 'bout love
♥ All I Want is You ; Barry Louis Polisar
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug
♥ Name of the Game ; ABBA
I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted
I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know..
What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?

Merry Christmas Alter!

drake & carys

He had hidden it in that drawer, so that he wouldn't have to look at it, he didn't use it much, just a few old things that he didn't have the heart to get rid of.

As to why? Well he'd bought it on a whim, planning to do it before, dragging Carys out with the question of labels and what are we and surprising her, but she'd seemed so content and happy with that, Drake figured it could wait. But was it worth getting mad at her for snooping in a drawer, in a place he'd let her in and really he'd bought it for a purpose. And well, they wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of the media speculation either.

Drake crouched a bit, setting his drink down and scooping up the box containing his own designed ring in one quick movement. Instead of straightening up, he gave a tug on his pantlegs, shifting to one knee and smirking up at Carys, "You haven't have you?" he asked, amusement apparent in his voice as he cracked open the box. "So, I was thinking you should do something crazy and marry me."

"Ah--" A croaked sound came out of her throat at the sight of Drake down on one knee, and Carys put her hands to her head, completely---just----he was proposing, Drake was proposing, as in he had a ring and actually suggested she marry him and holy shit this was the weirdest and best night of her life, "Yeah, I mean--yeah, yes, yeah!"

There wasn't really much to think about, was there? Drake was the person who'd helped her recover from what could have been a career-ending injury. He'd been the one to push her like no one had before, and he'd stuck around even after she got the seal of good health. Carys could never put into words how much she depended on his support, and would probably have been knocked down to second rung-Chaser if she'd let her spiral of depression get the best of her this summer. She'd been going nowhere and when she was with Drake she could see a future.

nate & bree

Bree started when the door opened, and stood up quickly, not even looking at his outstretched hand---bugger, he wasn’t supposed to come out here. She looked down at herself and brushed away the snow from all over her robes and ran a gloved hand through her hair. She must look like a total wreck, he must think she’s insane, he must be taking pity on the poor girl who’s managed to find herself in a world of trouble.

“I----“ she wanted to tell him that she hadn’t meant to actually speak to him and was going to admit that she was a coward and should probably stop dating all together and the human race would be better off, but Bree just stood there, wringing her fingers. She couldn’t go in, she—she had to---Bree stepped toward him and it felt like her brain shut off as she burst into tears and flung herself at Nate, kissing him hard.

Stumbling back, Nate felt a sharp pain between his shoulder blades where they'd hit the door jamb, but he definitely wasn't thinking about that. His entire mind was focused on Bree and how she was kissing him and oh god, it felt like such a rush. After everything that had happened and their tearful goodbye... Nate hadn't been very optimistic that she was even going to talk to him again, let alone snog him like this. He wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her in close, he wasn't ever going to let go again.

tom & fiona

Bean mo chroi," he whispered quietly and kissed her before she could open her mouth and retort against all this soppiness. It was okay and just fine and she hadn't tensed or anything and that was a big step. Tom had waited patiently for years, he was completely okay with waiting just a bit longer for her to be comfortable with it all.

Because it wasn't about marriage, or about... fathers or families or anything else, it was about them, and her and just being with her. Together and that was... perfect.

Had she just been proposed to? The bloody idiot had proposed to her in gaelic! Irish gaelic, that stupid, stupid, romantic, adorable, insanely cute, sexy, but stupid boy. But, had she just been proposed to? If Fiona could recall what he'd just said as it had put her in quite a dizzy state and---yes, she was quite sure what he'd said and---and---

"Well, of course! Jesus, Finnegan!" she let out loudly, but her eyes had swelled with tears and she was crying, kinda very hard, and Fiona wasn't exactly sure if he would understand her, so she just kept nodding and kissing him. Ah, ahhh, she was---they were---look at this!

Tom just blinked at her, letting him kiss. 'Of course' what? She was nodding and crying and... wait, had she understood him? "Fiona?" he asked lightly. He wanted to believe she was saying yes to a question he hadn't really asked. So, it had been implied, but... bugger, he wasn't going to question it! She'd said yes!

...Ohfuck, he'd just proposed.

sirius & james

Jesus on a fuckin---!" James jumped back when he finally spotted Padfoot, putting a hand to his heart and trying to calm his heart. His eyes blinked rapidly behind his glasses a few times before realizing that no, this wasn't a good kind of surprise, and his expression hardened. "Why---how'd you get in here?"

Sirius waited a few moments before transforming back into himself, perched on the end of James' bed. His shoulders were slumped and he looked absolutely terrible, especially considering that he hadn't gotten any sleep the past night or so and he just felt absolutely wretched. Not to mention how absolutely craptastic he felt (and he hadn't even needed Lily's words to spur him into this depressed feeling) about just everything.

"Magic," Sirius offered dully and dropped his eyes from James shamefully. Sirius never apologised. To anyone aside from James and Remus and even then, it was like, the worst thing in the world to have to do. So humiliating and just... fuck it. This was James right? He'd always be there but. What if he wasn't?

"You really need to stop putting up with the shite that comes out of my mouth."

James yawned and turned to his desk as Sirius went on, not really feeling like giving his friend the time of day. He held back a snort; putting up with the shite? Is that what he called it? James yanked the crumbled up letter from Dorcas out of his back pocket and stuffed it in a drawer, picking up some parchment from the top of the desk and threw it in as well. He cracked his knuckles and took his sweet time with emptying the rest of his pockets and organizing his desk, not once feeling the need to be a proper host. Sirius had broken into his room, disrespected him, there was no need to rush.

Finally, James turned and didn't think about how obnoxious he might look as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"No, see, that's what you do with your best friend, even if they are complete fucking pricks."

harper & psyke

SORRY!" Harper said louder, still keeping his hands over his face. Oh bugger he could have planned the better, couldn't he? Maybe he should have owled first but he didn't want her to run off or something before he got there. "Sorry I wasjust, I wanted to talk to you and and you're here in Italy and I had to talk to you!" he started rambling, facing in her direction but looking off to the side accidentally.

"I feel really bad what happened and I can't believe you just ran out like that and I'm sorry that it, it's just really fucked up and I'm sorry and I hate that you're mad at me and I want to make it better. My- I'm here and I got stuck in line behind this old lady who farted for like. Hours. And then I had to floo to like, eight different places and I wanted to see you!"

Okay, maybe if he'd had a plan, this would have gone all better, but he had only a mission to get there, and now there was so much to say but he didn't want Psyke to ignore him so he felt like he had to get it out all at once.

Psyke couldn't believe what she was hearing and that Harper was really here. In Italy! All the way really far from home! That was like---FAR! She'd had to leave Friday night to! HUH! What on Earth? This wasn't making any sense, and Psyke gulped as she listened to Harper ramble on and on. Oh, this was so utterly confusing that the normally confused woman found her self sitting on the dressing table because she had no idea what to do.

This was what she'd wanted, right? She'd wanted Harper to come and be all pitiful and apologize and and and Alex had said that if he didn't do anything to show that he'd changed then to just forget about him but now he HAD done something and! And why was she still feeling bad?

Because! Because she'd felt so worthless and and---he'd really, he'd really made her feel so horrible that it was still there, the bad, bad feelings and UGHHH he was trying! He was here and damn it all if she didn't know what the fuck to do.

"I---I---th--thank you, I---" Oh, she was going to start crying again, wasn't she? That stupid bloody designer, if he hadn't put her in such a bad mood maybe she could've handled this better but Psyke just found herself pouting greatly and trying not to cry. "I have clothes on, H-Harper," she managed.

Merry Christmas Lettie!

Friendly/romantic/angsty, you want it, you got it!

PLOTS before Emma leaves

2011-11-26T01:26:21Z

Comment with ideaaaaaaaaaaas :D Sidekick plot welcome tooo :D

Rebecca » focused on the job, managing to make herself take her mind off the bb; funny, because he's conceived in less than a month :) Proud of our girl!

Therese » struggling with trying to be an adult about he ex's tell-all book, probably going to continue to make some more bad decisions

Noah » Boots are full of sexy surprises :D

Magnolia » Wedding planning is in full gear, but she's still twitchy from the kidnapping

Graciela » Excited to be taking a big step with Edward, even if he's not technically moving in. She likes the pace they're moving in. I think the plot about trying a book tour/signing thing in Portugal may be something to do

Anton » Happy happy happy, but starting to feel a little lonely, I think! Quite sure he would never admit it, Cho is his number one gal rn!

Gabriel » Expertly avoiding Mary, though he's wondering if she's going to bother him about custody rights and isn't sure if he should be the first one say something.

Eliza » Soooo happy with her perfect little family, something she can't remember having herself :D Definitely went and got that pixie cut her beautiful PB has been sporting lately :)!

Dianna » Feeling like a new person now that she and Felix are getting more serious ;) May even consider letting her brothers be around him

Giada » Depressed about her mother, but angrier at her siblings so it's a different kind of Giada that's walking around these days. Currently running Boogaloo without Ally and just Graeme.

Katerina » A great weight has been lifted off of Kat's shoulders now that she doesn't have to worry about being locked into a creepy match. She's still skeptical about the whole wedding thing, and is probably acting more like a diva about it so that it keeps getting pushed back

Bess » Taking advantage of the off-week :) Definitely taking a more proactive part in getting Drystan to open up, and the bbs are doing well. She may attempt to force Penny into inviting her over one day (use the bbs as bait?)

Elizabeth » Is very happy with Rian right now :) Is very much in love with Katie again and really wants to get custody things settled with Ian but she's scared to ask, though oocly I'm pretty sure she does not like how much Victoria hangs out with her kid

Miranda » PREGNANT but does not know it :X So excited! I'm not sure if she'll have the same symptoms as last time, she's in lalalala land right now :D

Sebastian » Having fun trying to make another baby :D I think with Mack's schedule he's taken more of an on-call job at the Prophet so he's at home with the bbs

William » Very happy right now which is strange for Will ahhaa Henry's such a big boy now so it's easier to do things, and he's definitely a sap for Gabriella. Almost desperately wants to move back to England but idk idk idk

Carys » Won't admit it, but is definitely thinking about her talk with Drake about staying home longer with the baby. I don't think her maternal feelings have actually hit her yet, right now the infant is this literal bump that's keeping her off a broom. OOCLY she's freaking out at the idea of DRAKE retiring so lol gonna be crazy

Isobel » So serene during this pregnancy :) She's thinking of expanding the studio, which would give her a chance to relax while things are being done and maybe Archie would like to take a proactive part of their business :O She knows nothing about that part haha

Thomas » Feeling better about everything. Rose doesn't hate him, he's not sure if he loves her, but I do think he's being good and sensible for the first time in probably a year. Also I think his time with Billie is probably going to come to an end, not because he doesn't like her but he's starting to see how it's not a very healthy relationship

Danielle » Stresssssssssssed stressed stressed about this no-contraception-potion thing. She knows that it's not an ASSIGNMENT to get pregnant but she can't help but think that the only reason to NOT use protection is to GET pregnant and the fact that she hasn't it's like WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS SITUATION?!

Avery » Does not know that his wife is pregnant again, but I'm not sure if Vivica even knows yet (though I'm sure she does lol) He will be excited and it might help him out of this mental slump he's been in at work. Maybe an ad campaign??

Brianna » Taking this pregnancy in stride, at least this one was done after the vows and such. Not too keen on the street of houses that Zach wants to line up with his friends. Pretty sure she wants to move closer to the Finnegans

Charles » in a deep spiral of catastrophe tbh

Sarah » DEFINITELY had a Thanksgiving dinner this week with their family and friends lolol :) Really doesn't mind staying home with Rory, but still feels unaccomplished in life ;(

Emmeline » Feeling settled and content :) Baby D is more than halfway here and she hasn't panicked. Well, in front of Caradoc, anyway XD

Bianca » Letting Mira have fun planning HER wedding lmao so not girly, but is more focused on trying to be more vocal about her issues. Though I do think I want Bertram to find out about her history with Thomas' murder >>

Henry » Flat hunting and researching bbs, and getting his clients ready for the trade deadline :D Anyone in need of an agent?!

I am the sheep!

2011-11-22T02:46:15Z

Choose a character of mine, and I will respond with five characters from their game that he/she would trust with his/her life, five characters that he/she would throw to the wolves if they had to, and five characters that he/she would hop into bed with for a one-night-stand (no commitment, just a one-nighter), and why.

Thomas & Kendall
773 words

The boy whacked at the zooming bludger as hard as he could, causing him to spin in place, losing his balance.

“Dang it!” Kendall Broadmoor yelled, throwing his bat to the ground. He watched the bludger soar crookedly and most definitely to the left, hurtling once again into the bleachers. Nope. Nope, he was not going to get it, because that would be the tenth time getting it, and he was not climbing up there again. Why couldn’t he get it to go straight?! Bludgers made his family’s heart beat! Why couldn’t he just hit the dang ball right? If he didn’t make the team again, his dad was going to disown him!

“Your stance is off.”

Kendall turned around toward the voice, surprised that anyone would be on the pitch this early, and on a Saturday no less. He blinked quickly at the sight of the Ravenclaw seeker, trying to recall his name.

“What?” Kendall asked grumpily.

“Your stance,” the Ravenclaw snapped, looking at Kendall as if he were some dumb first year. He felt like a dumb fourth year, thanks. The Ravenclaw began to windmill his arms, “You’re not going to be positioned like that on a broom, now are you?”

The Hufflepuff frowned and he watched the seeker walk toward the ball trunk. There was one more bludger fighting to get out, but Kendall had left it locked up to try and discipline himself. It really wasn’t working, and now his legs were sore. The Ravenclaw kicked opened the box, unlatched the bludger, and with a swing that reminded him of his dad, struck the bludger with such accuracy that Kendall was sure he could have slugged it between a spectator’s legs if he wanted. The raging ball shot straight through the center hoop and whirled back to them, and the Ravenclaw caught it and wrestled it to the ground.

“Whoa!” Kendall exclaimed, jumping to the seeker’s side after the ball was safely latched inside the trunk. Thomas! That was his name! “How’d you do that?”

The Ravenclaw’s eyes avoided his, “It’s the angles.”

Kendall blinked. What did angles have to do with any of it? Maybe it was just a lucky shot, even though Ravenclaws did tend to talk gibberish. He didn’t know if he could take a lesson from a Ravenclaw, a seeker no less, who was a good foot shorter than him.

“What do you know about being a beater, anyway?” Kendall said with a huff, turning to pick up his bat, “You’re just a seeker.”

Thomas turned to look up at him sharply, his face burning red, “I’m better than you at beating, I could make it on the team as a beater and you haven’t for the past two years. Maybe you should take some advice.”

“That’s! You! How!” Kendall stuttered, staring at Thomas incredulously. How rude! Who was this prat to talk to him that way? He was the son of Karl Broadmoor. Who was this Ravenclaw? Who was this scrawny, short, scowly Ravenclaw to talk to him about quidditch? A little voice in the back of Kendall’s head told him that he needed to stop puffing his chest and just take the bloke’s advice, but he was just too rude to take seriously.

It was then that he noticed that the Ravenclaw was wearing his team jersey, and Kendall read his last name. McCormack. McCormack?

“You’re Catriona McCormack’s little brother?” Kendall blurted. Merlin, every bloke in the Hufflepuff dorm had a picture of the Pride superstar up in their room. Thomas sent him another dagger-like glare, but he did nod as he bent to open the trunk again. This time he pulled out a snitch, and it struggled in his fist. “Why’d you want to be a seeker, then?”

“I want to be everything,” Thomas said, toneless as if that wasn’t a strange thing to announce, “I’m going to be the best at every position so that no one can say anything about it.”

It was the first thing in their entire conversation that Kendall understood. His own anxieties about being a great beater were all based upon making his father proud, so why wouldn’t Thomas want to make sure he was excellent to live up to his sister’s super stardom? Kendall twisted his lips; as hard as this Ravenclaw seemed to be to deal with, he might actually be ale to help him in more ways than hitting a bludger.

“Tell me about these angles,” Kendall said, offering his bat to Thomas. The Ravenclaw looked down at the bat before looking up at Kendall, and his eyes flickered with excitement.

Years
Liz & Rian
1062 words

“You said you wouldn’t laugh!”

Liz waved a wild hand at Rian, using her other to cover her mouth as she tilted over to her side on the couch. Rian’s mouth hung open in a shocked smile as he watched her laugh, and laugh, and laugh. Just like she said she wouldn’t. “I only showed you that because you promised not to laugh!”

Of course, that made her laugh even harder and fall off the couch. Rian shook his head, standing and snatching the picture frame off of Liz’s lap with a flourish. His wide smile betrayed his act of annoyance, and she clambered back onto the couch, reaching out to him as if he was her lifeline.

“Help---help me up!” she gasped through her tears, shoulders still shaking as she attempted to stop her laughter. Rian lifted his chin as if to ignore her pleas, but put out a hand and Liz latched on. He lifted her off the ground easily as he was a good foot taller than her. Liz stumbled but was held upright and managed to catch her footing. Oh dear God, that was the funniest thing she’d ever seen, and she shoved him in the chest, “That’s not just a bad haircut, Rian!”

“Okay, so I had a really bad haircut,” he lamented, rolling his eyes. “I was fourteen! I thought I looked cool!”

“You looked like a porcupine!”

“It was the summer before fifth year, I was trying to get a date,” he said, feigning a snooty voice. He could never keep a straight face around Liz, though, and a smile cracked through his serious expression. “I mean, what did youlook like at fourteen? Awkward Liz at her finest, I bet!”

Her eyes lit up to tell him of the terrible idea she and Marlie had to dye their hair with streaks of purple, but as her mind shot back to the summer before fifth year, she realized that she hadn’t been looking for boys. She had actually been avoiding any and all men and boys, and her shoulders drooped as the memories flooded back. It was strange; years of her life had been wiped from her mind, but the terrible experiences she had desperately wished to erase seemed more vivid than before.

Rian noticed her change in temperament immediately and his expression grew concerned, “Did I hit a nerve?”

Liz opened her mouth to respond with the usual lie about having been grounded all summer, but she pressed her lips tightly together to stop herself. She didn’t want to lie to Rian like she had lied to so many people before. While a lot of the ‘same’ Liz had come back to her, she had told herself that she was going to be braver, to stick up for herself instead of panicking and frantically going through her issues. Lily had fought for her, Lily had died for her so---Liz could at least start telling people the truth.

“I…” She swallowed hard, and it was Rian’s gentle hand on her waist that gave her the courage she’d been searching for, “I didn’t have a very good summer before fifth year.”

She let out a shaky breath and ran a hand through her hair. Rian knew she had issues, he knew that she had baggage from the war and he’d accepted all of it. He’d accepted that she had been married and had a kid, and that while strained, she still had a decent relationship with Ian. He had been so wonderful with her, with his patience, while she tried to get her life back in order. How would he react to knowing that she had been messed up even before You-Know-Who had truly risen?

Rian frowned and sat down onto the edge of the coffee table, tugging Liz to sit down across from him on the couch. She could tell from the look in his eyes that his mind was already jumping to the worst conclusions, and with a father whose limbs were constantly being torn off, Liz could understand why.

“What happened?” he asked cautiously, and Liz rolled her eyes to the ceiling to try and keep her tears at bay. She really wanted to explain everything to him without becoming a hysterical mess, but she’d only ever told Ian and Lily about her secret and they had to love her. Ian had been her husband and Lily her best friend; they had obligations to accept the truth.

“I---I was young and…I was seeing this bloke…” Liz couldn’t even speak his name, even though she had cursed him every night for years. It sickened her to think about, but she had been so glad when she’d been told that Evan Rosier had been killed. He should have been a long time ago. “And he…” Liz let out a breath, staring back down at Rian with a defeated expression. “He raped me, I was raped.”

That did not feel as tremendous as she remembered it being from when she told Lily in school. Liz could barely recall the conversation with Ian, but it had been nowhere near as calm as it was right now. Rian held her hands tightly in his, his face pained but somewhat understanding. He squeezed her hands and let out a breath,

“You didn’t have to tell me,” he said with a sympathetic smile. Rian reached up and put his hand on her cheek and Liz pushed into the caress. “Are you okay?”

It was a simple question, but it warmed her heart. Liz felt like she hadn’t been asked that in a long, long time. She smiled and nodded a few times. She let out a choked laugh that caused some tears to fall, but she lifted her hand quickly and wiped them away.

“Yeah, I---I am,” she said with a nod, and her hands went out to wave Rian toward her. He pushed forward and closed the small space between them and the hug he enveloped her in was warm and strong. Liz dropped back into the couch with a content sigh and they held each other in that awkward position, Liz’s feet still planted on the ground with Rian’s knees pressed between them. She was okay, and she was very okay with staying like this, and with him, for a long time.

where the story ends
Trying not to lose your own, boxing up everything, you've got / All you ever knew of home, you're scared scared to see / Your mother there in the door, you wonder where did the years go / All we know is distance / We're close and then we run
The Fray

when you were young
They say the devil's water / It ain't so sweet / You dont have to drink right now / But you can dip your feet / Every once in a little while / You sit there in your heartache / Waiting on some beautiful boy to / To save you from your old ways
The Killers

i know i know i know
Last night I was writing about you / I know my screaming and shouting won't keep you / I know, I know, I know, you're still my love / I wake up to the sound of you working / You're one room right over, you're stressing and loving me/ I know, I know, I know
Tegan & Sara

she loves you
She said you hurt her so / She almost lost her mind / And now she says she knows / You're not the hurting kind / You know it's up to you / I think it's only fair / Pride can hurt you too / Apologize to her / Because she loves you / and you know that can't be bad / Yes, she loves you / and you know you should be glad
The Beatles
