Was in the mood for some music- so here's a couple shuffle drabbles just because I can! BTW, I've suddenly lost all alerts on this account- so please please please forgive me if I don't reply to reviews. I'm not sure what's going on really...
Note- as previously explained, I own next to nothing. Only Jessalyn is mine!
Far Away – 12 Stones
It had been her life for over 15 years, but as time went on, DG realized that Kansas was slipping farther and farther away from her.
As days past and the old farm house ceased to exist anywhere but her memory and the charcoal smeared sketch book, she wondered if the original Dorothy Gale had ever missed their old world too, and if it was only the distance that left her recollections so stripped of color.
Learning to Live Again- Garth Brooks (and is this a Cain song or what? Lol)
He could never be sure what was more painful: remembering the life spent with his wife and son, or realizing he was slowly forgetting the better moments. He no longer knew what Adora's favorite dress had been, or even his grown son's favorite color.
Instead, he remembered the screaming and look of terror on his wife's face as she and Jeb were dragged away.
Each night, he prayed he'd eventually forget that day, and then feared it would be the day he forgot his wife's face forever.
Unwell- Matchbox Twenty (oh holy Glitch)
His brain remained in a jar, left up high on a shelf in what used to be his old laboratory. Despite the best efforts of the royal family, Ambrose would never be whole.
Still, those closest to him never let him feel that they were disappointed in the lack. They simply acknowledged Glitch as the lovable man he was, miss-firing synapses and all.
It was others who proved unable to respect him- chief among them, the women of the court who found his clumsy conversation and eccentric personality frankly laughable and who took great pains to embarrass him at any opportunity.
Azkadellia wondered when they'd all become such fools. Regardless, she took advantage of their blindness, dancing with the Advisor whenever the opportunity presented itself.
Your Own Disaster- Taking Back Sunday (J/JC)
Jessalyn had to wonder what was wrong with the man. During the resistance, Jeb Cain had been her rock, and she'd been the shoulder one he'd trusted enough to lean on in return. Or so she'd thought at least. In the aftermath, however, the man she now hated to admit she'd grown to love was rapidly finding any available opportunity to push her away.
She had a feeling that if it continued, she might be forced to do something drastic. Watching the younger Cain man and silently comparing him to the stoic man that was his father, DG found she quite agreed.
Your Love is Extravagant- Casting Crowns
Cain had quickly realized that when it came to those she cared about, DG's devotion knew no bounds. Her friends, her family- they were easily her entire world. Despite the upheaval the O.Z. had wrecked upon her life, she'd thrown herself whole heartedly into the life that she'd regained.
Still he had to wonder, though, just how much of the grand gestures she'd begun to make would prove in time to be buried guilt. In the back of his mind, he held onto the image of the wide eyed young woman he'd first met and of the simple smiles she'd given.
He could admit, at least to himself, that he hoped she'd return to that easy unabashed affection.
Reviews are love.
