15 Drabbles

So I was going to work today. Really. But then alyse started a drabble tree over on mckay_sheppard, so I ended up playing with that instead. There are 66 entries so far; alyse's goal is to hit 100, so go contribute! I've written 15 all on my lonesome--don't ever say I don't pull my weight around here. ;-)

Anyway, I thought I'd repost my contributions here, mostly 'cause I want them all in one place. Also, it's a good way to understand why I love drabbling: it's a tonal consistency-free zone. I got to write humor, angst, smut, crack, slash, gen--all in perfectly precise 100-word increments. (Because I am a drabble traditionalist, dammit.) Basically, I got to move through the classic clichés of SGA fandom, all fast-and-dirty-like. Fun!

So here they are. In the order I wrote them, with the lines I took from the previous drabbles in the cut tag (and bolded).

( Why'd you stop? )

( It was worth it. )

( Hey, I felt it too. )

( Rodney stopped, John stumbling into his side. )

( 'Tell us, John.' Teyla's voice is soft, wanting to help. )

( Not that Rodney was going to do that. )

( Is this some kind of secret power of yours? )

( It's going to fall on us )

( John had to laugh, dizzy with relief. )

( A year ago, John found out that there really was a place further than Antarctica that he could run to. )

( I had to make sure you were real. )

( Dastardly plan? )

( He can see it in their eyes, he's not one of them anymore. )

( Rodney's eyes were the same color as the sky )

( Sheppard takes care to make it slow. )

...And that, believe it or not, is my first ever AMTDI. I'm so proud.
