A/N: There are all drabbles requested by people who were in the first set/ten of reviews of the latest chapter in Promises Made. Drabbles are one hundred words. While they are short, each word is extremely important to the scene, story, concept, and characters. It's the classic "less is more" approach. Want to receive a drabble? Review the latest chapter of Promises Made or message me! These are all unrelated one-shots unless there is a note. Please review!
Disclaimer: I don't own The Darkest Powers, The Darkness Rising, or Women of the Otherworld series, or the song "Daydream Believer".
Chlerklover (guest): No requested drabble, but since I don't have a way to reach you, I'm going to assume you'd like some Chlerk. Also it serves to prove that I can write happy things, not just horrifically sad things like Family (but seriously, go and check it out and bring a tissue).
She danced in between the beams of moonlight. Her laugh echoed in the clearing in the forest. Her smile provided all the light he needed to get home. Her eyes serenaded him.
He grabbed her, willing this trance she put him would last forever. He had been in some other world before he really noticed her. Once he had, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He couldn't stop worrying about her, trying to ease the burdens she unfairly carried.
Slowly but surely she began to let him in.
Most fairytales ended in a kiss. Their story had started with one.
Ouran4eva: Derek POV when Chloe is possessed by Dr. Banks during Reckoning (p 220 The Reckoning)
"Chloe, come on, say something."
His mind was frantic. He fumbled at her necklace, trying to put it around her neck.
She replied but it was not her. Something had happened. Something had happened because he let her take it off.
He forced the necklace back into its proper place.
"Chloe?"
She gasped. He couldn't breathe.
He grabbed at her hands, holding them gently. She anchored him to the ground. Her eyes were wide with fright.
He could never let it happen again.
Lucky Ariana Wolf: In the same universe as my story Family. This is from Tori's perspective. You could say that this is a 'deleted scene' from it. Just FYI – I'm still interested in hearing your story idea!
She was pissed. She had skipped over the denial stage. She was angry. She was angry at everyone. She wanted to rip off that stupid necklace and smash it in a million pieces. It didn't do its fucking job, worthless piece of garbage.
Simon was numb, still in denial. Derek had surprised her. She figured he would be the one in denial. She thought he would live the rest of his pathetic existence in denial. She was surprised that he hadn't followed her the second he found her.
She knocked back a shot and passed the bottle back to Derek.
SuperNatural1985: Women of the Otherworld - Antonio
He watched as the young boy followed Jeremy around. The boy never said much, mostly grunts and pointing of fingers. Jeremy had been working on breaking him of that habit.
He knew he shouldn't but he compared his progress to where typical boys were. It seemed stark. Nick came along so early in his life. It seemed natural that Jeremy would follow. A Sorrentino needed a Danvers. It had been that way for generations now, one family looking out for the other. Where would he be without Jeremy?
Would Nick one day be able to say the same about Clay?
jabc4: Not requested, but here is a Steve drabble.
Steve didn't have many recent favorite memories. It seemed as though his life had become tangled in the past. Everywhere he looked, he expected to see her, hear her laugh, feel her silky hair.
Tomorrow would mark the one year anniversary of his world falling apart. He never knew how thankful he was for Chloe until a few months after the accident. She had been coloring something in her room and humming.
His ears focused, it was her song, "Daydream Believer". He walked to her room and smiled. They would be okay. He wouldn't let Chloe forget the good memories.
the only one for you: Chloe and Derek's wedding
He never thought this day would come. He couldn't remember when Derek had willingly spoken to another soul without being coaxed into it the first time.
She had changed everything. She had strolled into their lives and completely upended everything he thought he knew about his brother.
Today was the official day. It had been all but official for years now. Derek typically avoided gatherings as much as he could, but he would always make exceptions for her.
A graveyard would seem morbid for the uninitiated. Without it, Chloe wouldn't have her family there.
"Ready?"
Derek pushed past him.
"Showtime."
darkestpowers-hp-46 Tori. A bit of background, the Coven is a group of witches that teaches the younger generation how to use magic (for more information, check out the Otherworld wiki or read Dime Store Magic).
She couldn't believe she had wasted so much effort trying to contact the Coven. They had warned her that their magic usage was much simpler than what she was used to. No one told her that they cowered over anything stronger than conjuring enough light to rival a small candle.
What was the point of being a witch if she couldn't use spells to make her life easier? They had talked a little about her family, how her family left the Coven a few generations ago. They wanted stronger magic.
She found herself in a rare place, agreeing with Mom.
Bonus: October Autumn for asking a question! If there is ever a time where something in the story isn't clear or making sense, please message me. The greatest risk you have is me spamming your inbox. Here is some Chloe/Derek.
She didn't know how many times they had had this conversation. He would insist that they needed to do things the normal way. She would roll her eyes and ask exactly what about their lives was normal. It wasn't normal that the girl was turning down a vacation with her longtime boyfriend and not have it end in heartbreak.
"If you say, 'Simon says' one more time, I'm going to have Tori zap you."
"But the whole point is to get away –"
"What do I need to get away from?"
She cut off the conversation with a sensual kiss.
