(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: Sixth and final batch for the drabble table. Took a while but now it's finished. Yay. To see the rest of the table go here.
07. Muse
He's seen Tony in various states of undress and lust, has blushed furiously from head to toe at dirty words Tony muttered into his hear, but it never gets old. He kisses the skin around the ARC-reactor teasingly, murmurs „you're amazing“ somewhere inbetween and utterly, truly means it.
Steve isn't delusional – he knows he could never claim to be the first to have seen Tony like this: half senseless with want, need and yespleasejustlikethat. That unbelieving awe in Tony's eyes, however, the way he squirms self-consciously, almost shyly under Steve's soft gaze, that is his, and his alone.
Avengers, Iron Man. Steve Rogers/Tony Stark; slash.
Steve doesn't make promises anymore.
11. Superstition
Steve doesn't make promises anymore - not the way he used to do before the ice. Because he can never quite shake the lingering sensation of tingling cold in his hands or the nagging feeling of what if. (What if there is no next time, year, Saturday, tomorrow.)
So when Tony asks "we should go out sometime", Steve says "let's go now". And when he tells Tony "I'll be there for you" he means "as long as I can". But when he says "I love you", he really means "forever" and hopes it will be exactly that, just this once.
Avengers, Iron Man. Howard Stark & Tony Stark; gen. (155 words, so not quite a drabble)
Take him to the beach, Maria says.
18. Beach
Take him to the beach, Maria says, and because his wife is scary when she insists on something Howard rolls his eyes and yields.
Tony is barely two and way too lively for Howard's taste, waddling through the sand on tiny, unsure feet. He falls a lot of times, too, and Howard (terrified of doing something wrong) either crowds him like a mother hen or lets him wander off too far, because he doesn't pay attention. It's exhausting. By the end of the day, Howard longs for a cigarette and a machine to work on. Something solid and metal that doesn't break so easily and is easier to understand.
Still, when he carries his son home, half-asleep and small arms clutched around Howard's neck, he feels somehow content at not having fucked up entirely. And when Tony mutters something that might or might not be a "daddy", Howard thinks it was worth it, after all.
Les Misérables. Grantaire/Enjolras; slash.
29. Writer's choice: Hell (I)
Grantaire doesn't imagine Hell like the gruesome tales, doesn't think it's fire and brimstone. Truth be told, he doesn't expect much at all, but now he knows: Hell is a lonely barricade in the streets, abandoned by everyone but a scattered group of men who dared to dream too big. Hell is a night that just won't end. Hell is a place where bright, little boys get shot.
Hell is all of his friends dead on the street and Enjolras trapped upstairs, alone. So Grantaire runsrunsruns, because the only thing worse than Hell is dying without him.
Les Misérables. Grantaire/Enjolras; slash.
30. Writer's choice: At the End of all Things (II)
The sound of footsteps on the stairs reminds him of the sound of drums, and oh, isn't that sweet, isn't that ironic, now that it's all over. Enjolras expects more soldiers, but instead it's Grantaire. Cynical, drunk Grantaire, who never believed nor cared, except apparently he does.
Grantaire stands beside him and the look in his eyes, the faint smile on his lips, mean everything. Enjolras doesn't speak - there is neither time nor are there words for this (God, how did he never notice, never see ...) - but he nods and hopes it'll be enough.
