Here they are: 25 awesome drabbles for the Twilight 25 (round 2)!

Besides the header info, I'm also including an applicable definition of each prompt.

These were written in a totally random order as the prompts inspired me, but I'm going to post them in order of how events occur in the series. Hence, we start early, in about 1918... :)
