(Dis-)Claimer: All the drabbles are fanfiction to various books, musicals, real persons, TV shows, etc. which I don't own. I don't claim to know anything about any real persons that were used as characters. Not making any money with this.

A/N: Fifth batch for the drabble table. To see the rest of the table go here.


X-Men: First Class. Erik, Charles.
„This is what we're going to do; I'm going to count to three, then I'm going to move the coin.“

09. Clean

It's a clean cut through Shaw's head and Charles feels every inch of flesh and bone on the way. The urge to curl back into his own mind, to just let go, is almost overwhelming and ohmygodithurtssomuchpainpainpain.

His mind is on fire, but what hurts the most,what breaks his heart into tiny fragments is this: when the coin willbreak free, things (they) will never be the same again. He is losing Erik, but he cannot lose him now (not to Shaw, not like this) and that is why he keeps keeps holding on.

Until the very end.

***

Supernatural. Sam/Dean; incest, more warnings below the drabble*.
Remembering hell, Sam doesn't know what's real anymore.

14. Tease

„Remember this? What it feels like?“ Dean's hands are everywhere, lips on his neck, teeth on his skin, fingernails scratching over his back. „This is reality, Sammy.“

And he wants to believe so badly, wants to think that Dean's eyes filled with longing are the one real thing he's seen since his inner wall broke down. He wants to say something, anything, but there's hardly enough air to breathe.

Missed you. This. So much.

Why did they ever stop?

„But we didn't, Sammy,“ Lucifer says, smiling sweetly. Runs a hand down his chest. „We never did.“


*Implied Lucifer/Sam, mindfuckery.

***

Avengers, Iron Man. Tony Stark, Howard Stark; gen.

He isn't good with this: family, emotions.

06. Blackboard

"No, not like that." Howard sounds exasparated, he knows, but he can't help it. He isn't good with this: family, emotions. The only thing he ever excelled in was creating things to kill. He snatches away the apparatus Tony was fumbling with (kid's fingers, still so small) and starts drawing a simple circuit on the blackboard standing in his workshop.

Tony looks at the explanations on the board, eyes wide and vulnerable, and Howard knows, in that very instant, that he's going to fuck this up: he'll never be a father.

He just hopes Tony's going to make it anyway.

***

Avengers, Iron Man. Tony Stark/Steve Rogers; pre-slash.Testing new equipment.

13. Test

„Move your upper body and your arms. Does it fit? I considered your measurements when I designed this, but I can still make adjustments.“

„No, it's alright. The fit is actually perfect.“

„I'd be surprised, if it weren't.“

Steve hesitantly touches his fingers to his own chest, feeling the fabric of his new suit. „Thanks for doing this, Tony.“

„Anything for you, Cap,“ Tony says,nonchalant as ever and only a little ironic. But when Steve smilesback at him, shy and grateful, Tony is surprised to find that he means every word of it.

Avengers, Iron Man. Tony Stark; gen.
Tony loves science.

08. Magic

Tony loves science. No one really gets this, none of the kids at school. They call him genius or sometimes just nerd, but no one ever gets it, because they cannot see the beauty he sees: how circuits and binary numbers can make heaps of metal come to life, how the laws of Physics enable humanity to flight, how something as abstract as Mathematics keeps bridges and buildings together.

So when they ask him why he wants to become an engineer, a scientist, he says "because that's what dad's doing". But what he really means is: "because it's like magic."
