I went on a drabbling binge recently, and these are the result. No specific order, featuring various characters and pairings. SPOILERS for the entire series apply. Each entry is 100 words. There is the occaison totally crack pairing, and some femslash thrown in for good measure. I've labeled each chapter title with the pairing, so feel free to skip any you aren't comfortable with. Most of the titles are song lyrics.
A few weeks back a couple of my friends and I watched all 13 episodes of Harper's Island in one sitting. Afterwards, we drew character names from a hat and had to write that pairing -- and the rule was, you had to post it. This fic (and the one that follows) is a result of that marvelous night.
DISCLAIMER/WARNINGS: I don't own Harper's Island. Femslash.
"things they have changed in such a permanent way" -- the strokes
(abby/trish)
Her lips taste like sweat and tears, near misses and narrow escapes. Long nights slip by , and she whispers to herself, it's over, it's over, again and again, like her fervent prayers will stop the nightmares and the trembling, will chase all the demons away.
They don't.
Abby's touch is feather-light on her skin, her fingers working through the tangles in her hair. She places a gentle kiss on her temple and it means everything and nothing all at once.
The world is turning, tilting on an away without them. But they're together, and they're alive, and that's enough.
