Wow it's been forever since I did a PD fic… anyway I didn't see anyone else writing the 30/50/100 word prompts so I thought I'd go ahead and do it yes all of us Clarisse/Joe but there's going to be a bit of Mia/Nick, Rupert/Clarisse, Helen/Patrick thrown in as well possibly some other Julie related ships as well or Hector related(Cane anyone?)

Btw these are NOT in order they are in the order I wrote them in so the numbers will be nutty also I own nothing not even the songs that go along with most of the ficcys or the idea for this prompts challenge. None of these exactly tie in to each other there's post PD, post PD2, prePD, and very very AU stuff

Clarisse/Joe - PD2


If I should stay

Well I would only be in the way

And so I'll go

And yet I know

That I'll think of you

each step on the way

And I will always love you

I will always love you

"I Will Always Love You"

by Dolly Parton


As many times as Clarisse had thought of it, as many times as the scenario had played over in her head Clarisse never thought losing Joseph would hurt this much. After Philip's and Rupert's (may he rest in peace) deaths he'd been all she had. Head of Security or not he had gone beyond what his job required.

She knew falling in love with him had been, by far, the most foolish mistake of her life but there had been times he'd been the only thing that kept her going. But she was Queen of Genovia for goodness sake! He was her bodyguard… it wasn't possible.

Clarisse rested her forehead against the cool glass of the door. Why had she been such a fool? They'd been more than employee and boss, more than friends even since the boys were small.. Never had they done anything exactly inappropriate but he'd been such a comfort. He'd been her support when she'd lost Mia, Rupert, and Philip.

"You stupid woman." she whispered to herself feeling a wet nose nuzzle her hand. "I've done a stupid thing Maurice." Long fingers tipped with manicured fingers scratched the white poodle behind the ears. "I've lost him…"


Angst I know but what do you guys think?
