Drabble requests

I'm stuck, stuck, stuck on the Van Helsing things.

Time for a kick start.

Give me a fandom and either a character, a pairing, an item, a title, or all of the above. Get a 100-word drabble in return.

No Van Helsing for obvious reasons, and also no CLAMP. Otherwise anything I'm vaguely familiar with is fair go. This includes Coldfire, Underworld, V for Vendetta (comic) and anything up to and including Night Watch (Russian version).

First 10 will get written today.

EDIT: *sweatdrop* 6 requesters so far, 4 of which want pr0n. Um. People?

Titleless drabble-thing re. Damien and socks.

Taking the chance to soak the crusts of demon gore from his clothing had seemed a good idea at the time. Keeping his socks on to shield his feet from the prickled shrubs along the river bank, he had let the clear water wash away the black grime, then draped the his pants and shirt over low branches to dry out.

Yeah. Good idea. Clean clothes and moving without crunching every step was always good but realising a damned big demon was creeping towards you when your clothes were strung out by the fire to dry wasn’t the best feeling in the world.

Going down fighting in the middle of nowhere wouldn’t be entirely unexpected.

Going down fighting in the middle of nowhere wearing nothing more than a pair of white ankle socks with holes in the toes and patches on the heels would just be embarrassing.

Reaching sideways, he wrapped his hand around the pommel of his sword, the blade hissing softly. He shifted his weight onto his feet, leaning forward a little, saw the glitter of bright eyes. If he hadn’t known what it was, he would have sworn it was laughing at him.

“To hell with you,” he growled. “I like these socks.”

And he attacked.

*celebrates*

I second Lara's opinion to post it on the comm (not that the fact I'm a co-founder ahs anything to do with it).

*whines* But...

Drat. Boromir, Ardeth, Hector and my other big lads have just welcomed Damien and his impressive sword to my mental greenroom.

Those boys like their weapons...

This is priceless. *g* Now Gerald just needs to get that tale out of him...

Any chance that you'd post this at [livejournal.com profile] hunters_forest?

Could do :D Would it be okay to just toss it under a lj-cut rather than linking externally?

Sure. Just patch a disclaimer on it, that's all.

Btw, shameless self-promotion, on the note of ex-priest getting it on with ex-prophet: Heresy.

So typically Damien. I can see Gerald raising an eyebrow if he'd seen this scene.

Of all the muses to collect, I just had to get me a Damien, didn't I? :D

He likes Gerald a whole lot, not that he would ever admit to it out loud, and he's glaring at me for revealing such a thing ;)
