Last November I said that I'd write something for every prompt submitted to the rh_drabblefest LJ community this time around. Over 400 prompts were submitted (464 to be precise) and so far I've written a fic/drabble for 64 of them. I still intend to fulfil my promise, so what I'm doing here is posting the fics/drabbles I've done so far (maybe one or two a day) while I get back to work writing more for the remaining 400 prompts, which I will post here after I've posted the first 64 (and once they're written of course!) Ratings will vary from drabble to drabble - all 'chapters' will have an individual rating, so please take note. Comments would be much appreciated if you can spare the time, and I hope you enjoy them. =)
Title: A Ride Into Unknown Pleasure
Rating: G
Word count: 108 words
Characters/Pairings: Guy, Marian; Guy/Marian
Prompt: Guy/Marian, horse
Summary: Guy watches as Marian puts her new gift through its paces.
Notes: Title taken from Victims by The Culture Club.
He's never seen her carefree and relaxed before. There's usually some tension in her posture, her words are carefully measured and the cold side of polite, her expression impassive; now she smiles openly as the horse clears a fence and her cheeks are flushed with the fresh air and the rush of it all.
Guy looks on in pleasure, his heart warmed at the sight and the knowledge that he gave her this moment. Yes, he thinks as he hears her laugh out loud for the first time since he's known her. No matter the expense of the gift, it was worth it to see her so happy.
