Pairing: GladysxGrim

"She may have won the battle, but she has not won the war."

What if he knew she had heard him say those words? She watched his every move with that glimmer in her eyes they mistook for hate. Harold was a nice man, but raising one idiot was enough. The Grim Reaper lived in her house, and with every scowl she hid a smile of triumph.

For it was true that we thrill to hurt what we love, and realization dawned on her slowly. We mock and kill our passions.

He was wrong. She had won the war already.

For doconnor. I'm afraid it's one-sided, but that was as much as I could catch with 100 words :-)

I am sorry this is late; I've never been late before with these drabbles, but this time had that stupid 'unexpected amount of traffic' and I couldn't even log into my account. Nevertheless, I wrote this yesterday so that's all that matters.

So it's been one month. Thirty drabbles. And dearest readers, this is where we stop.

This collection is complete. I may create a new one in the future, but for right now, this little project is finished. Thanks for all the reviews and all the hits. Catch ya on the flip side!
