A.K.A. 100 Drabbles in 20 Weeks.

I will include characters and ratings for each drabble. I'm going to keep this all in PG13 (really, how naughty can I get in 100 words?... okay, pretty naughty but generally I think we'll be good. Just watch your ratings if you're concerned. :) )

I own nothing related to Moonlight, so please don't sue me!!

Week 1 (29.09.08)
1. beginnings

MickBeth PG13

Her eyes twitch under their lids as she starts to stir. Her brow furrows as she starts to register everything around her. It was all there before of course, but now it feels new to her more sensitive body. Her tongue peaks out to lick dry, cracked lips and finally she opens her eyes – her beautiful ice blue eyes. They meet mine and I could stare into them for eternity. I smile at that thought; smile at her. My love. My Beth. Forever. She smiles too and I know she's thinking the same thing.

Today is the beginning of Forever.

2. middles
Josef PG13

What is middle-aged to a vampire? I could live for eternity so is 410 really that old?

It's hard when you have no middle – just a beginning and an end. There's no point where you can stop and think "I'm half done. It's time to start doing all the things I wanted to do." When you live forever, you can get complacent; procrastinate. So perhaps that's why I've become who I am. I don't know when my middle was or when it will come. I guess when you live forever you don't really have any more time than anyone else.

3. ends
Mick and Josef PG13

Josef sat in stunned silence as the game ended. Mick watched him warily, hoping he wouldn't start to hear of missing Bengals players. Josef begins to pace and Mick finally breaks the silence.

"Josef, what do you expect? They didn't score the entire first half. I'm surprised they only lost by five points."

"That's not the point Mick! This was a sure thing! I don't just throw a million dollars away everyday!" His ire brings forth the vampire and he snarls before slumping back into his seat, dejected. "They're lucky it's just their Superbowl dreams that are at an end!"

4. first
MickCora PG13

You can barely remember the cords or the words to the tiresome song you're performing as you want her float around the room. A vision in red. You steal glances at each other – under long lashes, over a bare shoulder. The light from the sparkler she carries flickers on her face framed by dark hair; she seems angelic.

Like a moth to a flame she'll burn you but you can't look away. You want to know her…do more than that, too. You don't realize how this first meeting will change the course of not just your life but your eternity.

5. last

MickBeth (the re-turning scene) PG13

I'm doing this for you. I love you more than anything – more than my own life; my own humanity. I give it all up – become what I hate – for you. But I hope you know I do this willingly for you, My Beth. Darkness starts to overtake me. Cool, thick liquid drops on my lips and I weakly peak my tongue out and taste them. Josef's powerful blood sings through my body; I reach for more. Soon it's enough; too much; not enough. The last of my humanity dies away in my last breath. My last thought is of you.
