Gatewatch Drabbles

by theproletariatdontdeservecake

I like the Gatewatch and I like the challenge of trying to write something with only 100 words. Fluff, shippy stuff, and fluffy shippy stuff, mostly. edit: I've realized that for some reason, dashes are considered full words by the wordcount. I refuse to count them.

Chandra ran to him. He smiled and spread his arms. She tackled him with a hug that sent him backwards onto the floor.

He looked up at her. Bright eyes held his gaze behind the hair falling across her face. It was longer than when he'd last seen her and it smelled like a hearth. Like home.

"I didn't think I would, either," he smiled.

He stood corrected. How could he ever have wanted to be anywhere else?
