Duchess of Evil

So, this is a drabble for gabby_silang, who stumped me with a line from my own fic, then requested: Iron Man, Pepper Potts taking a moment for herself.

And yeah, this was so going to turn out differently.  I meant for Pepper to take her moment for herself in the beginning of this drabble, but she flatly refused.  So, yeah.  More stuff happened, and about two thousand words later, Pepper finally fulfills the drabble request.  Sort of. 

Gabby, hope you like this despite that.  That Pepper, she's a stubborn woman. ;)

This is un-beta'd, being a drabble.  Any errors are mine.

So, I've got three or four scenes done for this Rogue/Gambit fic, but they're all kind of jumbled and out of order, and there are huge gaps in between.  (To give you an example, the fic starts a few months post-X3, when Rogue has never even heard of Carol Danvers or Gambit, and then there's a scene with Carol, where she kills her, and a scene later with Gambit, where...well, I'll just post it, shall I?)

My point is, who knows if/when I'll ever really finish this thing.  I want to, but there's so much happening in it that the scope is more words than I can commit to with a non-fic WIP hanging over my head.  So, I'm at least going to post the Rogue/Gambit scene as a drabble.  Then it's almost like I've actually finished something, right?  Someday maybe it'll get posted again, as part of the completed fic.

This is sort of filling two requests.  stephdub and kismeteve both wanted Bones.

Booth/Brennan - Rain, Chinese food, and reruns of TV shows were the prompts, but I skewed that last request slightly.  And I was going to work fandom in there, stephdub, but it just didn't quite fit.  Still, Brennan at least questions the validity of Star Wars, so that's something, at any rate. :)  Maybe I'll do another drabble later, after seeing tonight's ep.

Bones, 750 words.

Oh, Sarkney, how easy you are to write!

Drabble for storydivagirl, Syd/Sark  "There are days when it's really hard not to kill you."

I suck at drabbles, by the way.  At over 2,000 words I had to remind myself this was only a drabble and STOP WRITING.  Because I have four more to write, damn it. 

quiet_rebel gave me this picture as a prompt which I could use as either a setting, or a mood or a feeling. I chose mood or feeling, and for some reason the picture, which is beautiful, had a very dark, somber feel to it for me. Hence a rather dark and somber Sark. Though maybe "disturbing" is a better word.

I should warn the faint of heart -- this is a dark drabble fic. If you're easily squeamish you may not want to read. And, er...sorry?
