Drabble: Living Death

Title: Living Death
Character: Zoe Washburne
Word Count: 100
Author’s Note: Post movie Serenity

Written for SlayerFest '09 at whedonland.

I wake up every morning, praying that the day before didn’t happen. If that day never existed, the one before wouldn’t exist either. Or the one after that. Going back in time will be the only thing that will make my life make sense.

Everyone keeps asking me, “Zoe, is there anything you need?” MY HUSBAND! That is the only thing I need back. Without him, there is nothing to wake up for. Life isn’t worth living. I wouldn’t call what I’m doing living. It’s more like death with a breath every few seconds. It’s not a life I want.

Sunday... blah! You can have it if you want.

I love to write. Since I was little, I've been creating universes in my head. It was my way of escaping the real world. While I may not have always had the dedication to the craft that I've tried lately to cultivate, I've always had the ideas.

My friend and I are crafting a world right now. She has a character and I have a character. My character is slowing coming out of her bubble, an experience that I'm enjoying writing but tonight I want to scream "STAY IN YOUR BUBBLE!" Mostly because I want to stay in my bubble.

I hadn't meant to rant in this journal, especially since I don't talk about the good things that happen to me. And it always feels like it's Sundays that bear the brunt of my angst. Maybe because Sundays are the days when I have to be the most real to people. Drama always edges in.

I hate Sundays.

Even I must admit that the RL drama is always good for my writing. Without this external angst, I couldn't write this rather internal drama (as all good writing starts out inside the writer, percolating until it spews forth). I also think that I'm missing my sisters right now. Seeing them non-stop for two weeks was really nice. Wearying but nice.

Fic: Name Me (Kingsley/Dorcas)

I still have no Kingsley or Dorcas icons. Shame on me!

Title: Name Me
Fandom: Harry Potter (I often forget to include this. I apologize since this is a multi-fandom fic journal.)
Characters: Kingsley Shacklebolt/Dorcas Meadows
Word Count: 1124
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Alcohol consumption & pretty barmaids
Prompt: Together at 15pairings (xposted at first_order)
Disclaimer: JK Rowling gave us a name of those in the First Order of the Phoenix but very little else other than the way they died. It is in these holes that I write. Please keep an open mind and enjoy this ditty for the entertainment purpose it has been called forth to supply.

Author's Note: This takes place after True Visions but there are still stories that take place in between. For instance, there is the fic that explains how Dorcas becomes a member of the Order of the Phoenix. And one that talks about how fond Dorcas has become of meatloaf but wishes there was more. I just haven't written those fics. This one was written WEEKS AGO and was actually some of the first things I knew about both Kingsley and Dorcas. There is another reference to K being a "knight" which I hadn't remembered there being until I read through it tonight. For the double reference to his knighthood in the last two fics, I apologize. He just seems like that sort of guy to me.

( ...when shadows fade, there's always plenty of nightlife... )
