Re: Drabble Meme

Responding to the drabble meme for mmarinov and mellaithwen...

Mellaithwen: Either Dark Angel, Max/Alec or Supernatural, Sam teasing Dean and hitting a nerve. This is what I picked between the two.

Sam pulls Dean’s duffel bag out of the trunk at the newest motel, and a tattered lump tumbles to the ground.

 

As Sam is picking up the object, Dean comes out of the office.

 

“A teddy bear, Dean? Don’t you think we’re a little old for that?”

 

Dean silently snatches the dingy bear away, while Sam continues mercilessly.

 

Then Dean snaps, “Mom made it for me. She made it for my birthday the same year she died.”

 

When Sam goes to bed that night, he places the bear on Dean’s pillow and watches his older brother sleep under black-buttoned eyes.

 

  

Mmarinov: Dark Angel, Thoughts of Alec during his flashbacks of Manticore and such from "The Berrisford Agenda"

He had stopped screaming two days ago.

 

Now, there’s blood on his lips—the lips that she had kissed with smiles and laughter—as he lies in the dank basement with the monsters. The ‘nomlies hiss and claw at their doors, while his eyes float in his heavy head.

 

He hadn’t been a Simon to himself.

But he had been someone to her.

 

But, they force his humanity from him; they shred his soul and tear his memories. They destroy the light within until he answers, “X5-494, sir” without a tear in his eye or her memory in his heart.

Wow. The response to mine was better than I could have ever hoped for. It's like you've just opened up a whole new layer of Alec for me to appreciate. I'm very impressed! And now I must head off to watch The Berrisford Agenda again, lol. Well done!

Oh, thank you very much! I'm glad that you like it! (I was worried that it would be a bit too dark, but I went, "Well, they're not exactly *happy* flashbacks...")

All this DA talk really has me wanting to write some DA fanfic again. Although it'd have to be Ben because I absolutely loved that character (even though I already wrote a whole story for the poor boy), but lordy did I love him.
