Another Week at slashthedrabble!

[willshenilshe.livejournal.com]

Hello, and welcome back to slashthedrabble!

Everyone is sure to be busy this week, but we're throwing out a challenge anyway, in case someone feels inclined to play.

The challenge is: "The Dark of Night". All sorts of things can happen after dark. Illicit liasons? A sleepy lover, stumbling in to bed? The sun going down on an argument? You can go anywhere in this challenge.

Reminder: drabbles of 100 words and ficlets of 200, 300, 400 and 500 words are acceptable. Cut-tags are your friends for RPS or anything graphic/NC17. All fandoms, m/m and f/f are more than welcome!

Good luck, and happy drabbling!

'The Dark of Night' drabble

[killerweasel.livejournal.com]

This is my 100 word drabble for this week's slashthedrabble which is 'The Dark of Night'.

Lurking in Shadows

Nothing looked the same when the sun went down. Even something as simple as a trench coat hung over a chair could take on a sinister appearance. In the dark of night, I would lay awake and think about when monsters lurked beneath the bed.

The mattress shifted and I felt a hand rustle gently through my hair. Leaned into the touch, knowing he wouldn’t let anything happen to me. "Doyle, go back to sleep."

Sighing, I snuggled up against his body, ignoring how cold it was. His hand traced along my tattoos. Now the monster was in my bed.
