I'm finally – finally – attempting to gather all of my ficlets here (I say that like it's a lot, but no, I'm just disorganized) and I'm trying to keep them in chronological order of when they were written, but if you saw the state of my goggle docs, you'd doubt that as much as I do.
Anyway, these are little glimpses that have been written over the years and posted on twitter. Some were prompted, some not; some are really old and a couple are pretty recent; some are decent, some not so much. And all of them feature darvey being in love.
1. Sleepy
She's lying beside him mostly asleep, the only conscious part of her the one that's feeling his thumb softly brush back and forth over the back of her hand. She knows he's still sitting in bed, reading that damn case file under the dim light of the lamp on her nightstand.
His phone vibrates and he's quick to pick it up, whispering so he doesn't wake her. A few brief words are exchanged before he hangs up.
"Are you two-timing me already?" she mumbles, blinking her eyes open.
He smiles softly. "It was Louis."
"I meant the file."
He glances at the folder on his lap, feeling guilty for time wasted when Donna's right there beside him, warm under the covers, pink lips, soft from sleep.
He pushes the file to the floor, turns the lamp off and wraps her in his arms, falling asleep almost the second her nose touches the side of his neck.
