How to Train Your Drabbles

by syrennah

Not actually drabbles, but one-shots; the title just had a better ring to it. Feel free to comment suggestions and critiques as I use this as a dumping ground and writing exercise, centered around a fandom I enjoy. These pieces are far from perfect but I gotta learn how to write somewhere and it's fun to take these characters through situations we'd never otherwise see them in.
