Okay, class is cancelled today. Which means I'm sitting in the computer lounge at school, working a bit on my Sociology discussion board posts, and getting somewhat bored.

So, drabble prompt time! The first five people to give me a character and a one to two word prompt, get a drabble written for them.

Available fandoms: Harry Potter, Narnia, Firefly, Doctor Who.

Kaylee knew that no one with more than half a brain would ever call her elegant. They said she was sweet, or that she was pretty, or that she knew more about engines than anyone else on the outer rim.

Most days, she was fine with that. T’weren’t anything wrong with being any of those things, and she liked being useful.

But sometimes, when ‘Nara was bing more beautiful than normal, or Simon would give a look that said he wasn’t used to girls like her, Kaylee kinda wished that she knew how to be elegant instead of just cheerful.

Let them say he was paranoid. He knew better. Just because they never bothered to use basic precautions after the war ended didn’t mean he should lose his senses. Just look at what had happened to Alice and Frank. No, he was keeping himself secure.

It did make buying a house harder, when most of the sellers refused to let him strip down the houses to check for hidden curses. Why should he care if it was inconvenient for them? It was his safety, and there were enough wizards he’d crossed that he couldn’t afford anything less than constant vigilance.

As far as Peter’s concerned, Lucy’s always been too curious for her own good. Or his, for that matter, because somehow her curiosity always ended up with him chasing after her and the both of them getting involved in things no one else would dare try. She was fearless, and convinced that no matter where she went or what she did; it would all turn out fine. Peter lived in constant terror of the day when she would finally end up in more danger than he could save her from.

Funny that the last danger didn’t come from her curiosity.

Awesome! ♥ it!

Oh, I'm so glad. I have a hard time with Moody's voice.

For the most part, he’s given up on prayer, just like he’s given up on any idea of a God or a just universe. War and life both burned them out of him, and he can’t fight them in the way he fights everything else.

But there are some times, the times he least expects, when he finds the words whispering in the back of his mind, and he’s no good at shutting them out. Times when the sunlight beams through the front view of Serenity as she kicks off another planet’s dirt, and a half-remembered psalm lilts through him.

Sunlight lances across her face, and once more Lucy finds herself distracted from the sermon. This time, her eye is caught by the glowing colors from the window, the way they filter onto her siblings.

Red glances across Peter’s hair, as he sits next to Mother in their seat their father once held, his face still and solemn. On the other side, Susan sits in yellow that gilds her with a crown. Blue washes across Edmund’s features, but it doesn’t veil his new-found dignity.
Lucy feels more at home now than she has since she fell out of the wardrobe.

Beautiful, thank you.

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

*grins* I'm glad you liked it.

[heylittleriver.livejournal.com]

Aww, Kaylee! (She's unabashedly happy. I have to admit, I prefer that kind of charming happy to elegant.)

Thank you. :D

[heylittleriver.livejournal.com]

!!!!!!!

War and life both burned them out of him

I love that phrase.

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

I'd prefer her happy to elegant as well, but sometimes you always wish you were something you weren't, and I think this is one of those things Kaylee would wish for on occasion. She shows signs of it throughout the show.

*grins* That was the line I had to keep when I was doing my normal verbal weed-whacking to get it down to a hundred words.
