Challenge #194 at slashthedrabble is Hard.

Drabbles of 100 words and ficlets of 200, 300, 400 and 500 words exactly are acceptable, and please use cut tags. Have fun!

Also, as this is a multi-fandom community, please remember to add a header mentioning which fandom(s) and pairing(s) you are drabbling in. Thanks. :D

A new challenge will be posted around midnight EST on the 21st January, 2009. (That's 5am on the 22nd, London time.) Feel free to drop a reminder comment here if it looks like I've forgotten (again).

Suggestions for future prompts are always welcome. The list of previous prompts can be found here.
