Descole x Emmy 100-word Drabbles

by Chase Ling Ziao

This is a collection of 100-word drabbles, a challenge for me against my typical style of anthology-type drabble series in other fandoms, exploring some ideas and the dynamics of this relationship. A long-ish one-shot/chaptered story is in the works. This is my preparatory phase. K to T. R&R welcome!

Relax, Read, Reflect, Repeat

Hoogland was the perfect place to ground permanently.

Few people live here. Not many celebrations. The geography is perfect to avoid chances of running into anyone I probably know from London.

My library work is near nil so I read to pass the time. After having read every book nearly twice, I launched an afternoon reading session for the children.

At the airship-turned-domicile, the silence is deafening.

…

My mind wanders to that night she left.

Did I do something wrong? Did she? What happened? Could it have been prevented?

Then I go to bed after calming tea.

And repeat everything.
