Time-Line: AU. Post-Series
A/N: The prompts used in this fic are from 1sentenceorder on LJ. I have no affiliation to the community and have never posted anything there, but I liked their list of prompts so I used a few. Thanks for sharing them!
A/N (2): Some of these are more than a sentence and probably not 100% grammatically correct because of it, but I took some liberties. Also... I used the prompts as inspiration rather than guidelines so it may be a little abstract.


#01 - Ring : He throws the ring into the swamp, knowing he's turning his back on the only family he's ever had, but as he drives his bike out of Louisiana and makes his way to Bayville, he knows he's making the right decision.

#02 - Hero : Moving into the mansion wasn't what he'd thought it'd be - he hadn't planned on them wanting him to be a hero.

#03 - Memory : He lays in bed thinking about the changes he's made, but all he sees when he closes his eyes is the look on her face when he asked for a kiss.

#04 - Box : Training in the Danger Room is uneventful until he sees her get boxed in by a couple of droids; when she hit's the ground especially hard, something inside him snaps and the room erupts in explosions.

#05 - Run : It's late in the morning and the kitchen is empty but he hasn't seen her yet so he sets about making breakfast in hope she'll sit and eat with him; he wasn't expecting her to make a break for it though and is disappointed that he'll be eating alone.

#06 - Hurricane : There's wind and rain and it sounds like the windows are going to shatter, but when he asks Storm to take it down a notch, she looks at him with knowing eyes and tells him she's tried.

#07 - Wings : He feels unexplainably angry when a Warren Worthington III returns with them after saving a certain southern gal from being mauled by an old colleague.

#08 - Cold : He doesn't understand why she's being so distant; after all that they'd been through he thought his Lucky Lady would at least give him a smile.

#09 - Red : The news devastates him, but when he thinks about it, all he feels is anger and he really wishes there was someone there to make it okay again.

#10 - Drink : Somewhere between comfortably numb and one too many he runs into Kitty; he doesn't mean to tell her so much.

#11 - Midnight : It's late when he wakes and the only thing he finds himself thinking about is her; whispering her name as he dreams of her beside him.

#12 - Temptation : When he finally gets her alone, all he can do is stare at her with want; the temptation is great, but it's something he can never have.

#13 - View : He watches as her life force slowly leaves her body, but Logan is there and he'll make sure she ll be alright; he only wishes someone could do the same for him.

#14 - Music : He feels the music and alcohol thrum through him as he pushes a woman - a stranger - against the wall behind the bar; he knows he won't be able to look at himself in the morning as it is, so he gives it all he's got.

#15 - Silk : He touches her shoulder, before reaching for her hand; with a gentle pull, she's wrapped in his embrace - her lips are as soft as silk even as consciousness escapes him and he falls toward the floor.

#16 - Cover : When he wakes up she's sitting by his side, arms wrapped tight around her legs, and the queen of hearts clenched between her gloved hands.

#17 - Promise : He wants nothing more than to pull her to him and wrap her in his arms forever, but she's stubborn and unsure so he waits for her to make a move.

#18 - Dream : He realizes he's just as scared as she is, but he guesses that's a good thing when he thinks about how no one else has ever made him feel this way before.

#19 - Candle : Something flickers inside of him and there's no doubt that he means it when he tells her I love you for the first time.

#20 - Talent : Of course it takes a special lady to tame the Cajun Casanova; he's not quite sure how he managed to find her, but he does know he's lucky he did, and even though things aren't always perfect he can't help but think that someday they will be.
