Brightly Burning (Mercedes Lackey) – Kindling

Why, Anon.

———

On the front Lavan tried not to watch the campfires. He was a Herald now, yes, but they still reminded him of everything that he had done… and still continued to do.

He’d murdered his bullies. They’d gone up like fatlighter. Like firestarters.

Like kindling.

And then there was Kalira. She was here, she was with him. A comforting presence at his side and in his mind. She was there for him always. His very best friend in a world that he could not escape. And while he had her, why would he?

Stop thinking about it.

And he did.

The Black Gryphon (Mercedes Lackey) – Wind

Skandranon did not often take night flights for joy. He took them in order to fight the for Urtho. To fight for freedom and peace.

Tonight would be different for him. Tonight he beat his wings through the still air of the night and raced towards the sky. No one would blame him for letting the wind of the upper sky fill his wings as he tried to sooth the horrors of the war from his mind.

Who would blame him for taking to the sky to keep his thoughts about Zhaneel from keeping everyone else awake with his restlessness.

100 word prompt – SPN/Dragons/Bioluminescence

Dean and Sam stared up at the massive form of Castiel, curled up around the clearing of the forest they’d been told to meet him at.

“Dude, you’re a fucking Dragon!” Dean blurted, staring at the gently lit swirls of color on his skin.

Cas blinked at him and arched his long sinuous neck. “That’s what humans have called us in the past, yes.”

Sam was already walking over and pressing his hands to Cas’s side. “You’re warm… and lit up like a christmas tree!”

Cas nudged Sam away with his head and rolled his eyes, “That tickles, stop, please.”

100 word Prompts – Miraculous Ladybug and Christmas traditions

Marinette whirled through the kitchen sending powdered sugar cascading to the floor in gentle puffs as she put the finishing touches on some pastries she was making for her class. She’s made these every year for Christmas and she isn’t about to stop her tradition! Even if Hawkmoth is trying to cancel the season with even more akuma than normal.

Even the jingling of the door couldn’t distract her. She knew her mom would take care of any shoppers.

What finally distracted her was running into the the warm chest of Adrien Agreste.

Boyfriend, model. Recipient of the first treat.

100 word prompt – Disney: an Unexpected Meeting

Maleficent wasn’t quite sure how or what magic was used to spirit her away from her realm into this strange and angular one. Everything around her was cold as stone and made of strange metals that she, with even all her earthly magic could not grasp.

A woman sat before her in a chair. Grey and old as only humans can grow. “Where am I?” She asked, the demand for obedience on her tongue. She would see where this got her.

“You’re in my base on D’Qar. I’m General Organa, leader of the resistance. And you?”

“I’m Maleficent, my dear.”

The Last Herald-Mage (Mercedes Lackey) – Sunset

Sefan let loose his horse, she knew the way home and he wouldn’t be needing her. The Herald who was bringing him through the forest would forget him, and he would finally join his Vanyel in death.

He set his harp down and lowered himself to the ground at the base of a tree. The Sorrows had never bothered him, and he longed to return to them while fulfilling his mission. He smiled and closed his eyes as the setting sun bathed him in its light and when he rose again, his spirit was finally free to join his lifebonded.

“You’re awful at this.” The words ring in your ears almost as loud as your own heartbeat. You can barely breathe because the tentacle in your mouth is worming its way down your throat and you keep swallowing, helping it along.

The other one between your legs ceases thrusting for a moment, in order to pull out and slam right back into you.

“I’ve had better dates,” The suit clad demon in front of you yawned. “You’re by far the absolute worst person I’ve ever seen. I really should kill you now. But it’s more fun from the inside out.”

Heart thundering, feet pounding. You can hear the whistling of the wind past your ears even as your pulse thunders through the sound. Your chest heaves and you want to break down and cry but you can’t.

You have to keep running.

The monster is chasing you, somewhere behind you it thuds and pounds, like a heartbeat but slower.

Hungrier.

Teeth and claws and empty eyes just waiting to tear you apart… one way or another. If you let it catch you, let it taste you, taste your fear maybe you’ll survive. You start to slow, pulse surging through you.

100 word prompt – Winding Circle (Tamora Pierce) – Dandelion

Briar still remember his lessons. Still remembers what Rosethorn had taught him so long ago. Weeding still hurts, but he does it for the rest of his garden.

She would be proud if she were still around, watching him on hands and knees pulling out the small plants crowding around his own. He reached for one, and then pulled his hand back.

The golden head of the dandelion swayed with the breeze and he watched for a long moment before he went to his tool shed and carefully excavated it from its spot and gave it it’s very own place.

100 word prompts – Young Wizards (Diane Duane) – Moon dust

Dairine settled into her usual spot, protected by the spell she could cast as easily as drawing breath. So many things had happened to her and she didn’t even know where or how to even begin to untangling what happened.

Nita would be pissed if she knew Dairine had gone without her.

She kicked up a puff of dust from around her feet and watched it fall slowly back to the surface. Dairine grinned and picked up a handful and blew it out beyond her shield, taking in the sight of it racing across the moon, carried by her breath.
