So it's only a drabble - and not a very good one, 108 words argh - but my New Year's resolution is to get more involved in fandom and to write more, so there ya go. Hope you guys enjoy!


Title: A fraction of an inch to the left...
Fandom: Avengers
Characters/Pairing: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Rating: PG
Summary: Tony is hurt and Steve is with him.

The suit is battered, crumpled beneath a concrete pillar. In its cradle of red and gold, Tony's face looks very pale. His eyes are big and dark with pain. Blood flows from a dozen lacerations.

"You'll be all right," Steve says. It's more an order than a statement.

"I'll be fine," Tony agrees. Neither speech nor breathing are labored. The suit has absorbed the worst of the impact. Idiot, Steve wants to say. Show-off.

One dark eye closes in a solemn wink, and Steve moves his thumb a fraction of an inch to the left, resting it against Tony's lips until the medics come to take him away.


(I also wrote some Young Avengers - Teddy/Billy - if anyone is interested: here)

Hey, nice one

I admire people who can write drabbles. That takes a lot more discipline to just witter on. There are so many good images here, in such a small space.

Cheers.

Thank you! I'm mildly frustrated that I failed at paring it down to an even 100 words, but I just couldn't see anywhere else to trim down the words.

I'm glad you liked it!

I can see this whole picture you've painted here. Very nice.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

[isilrandir.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that's why we love him! :)

Well-written drabbles always impress the hell out of me, sketching whole scenes in just a handful of words.

This, for example, is a well-written drabble. :) "In its cradle of red and gold" is just breathtaking.

Thank you very much! I always used to get scolded in school for being too verbose, so I started writing drabbles as a way to teach myself brevity. I like to think it's worked.

Also? I love your icon. I have him sitting on my shelf! <3

[prettyarbitrary.livejournal.com]

It seems to have. Maybe I should start doing that...

Cuddly Cthulhu keeps my computer safe from gremlins. :) Pwned!Cthulhu is pretty awesome too!

[isilrandir.livejournal.com]

It's incredibly frustrating, but it works!

Hee, I have a tendency to cutify Cthulhu cause he scares the crap out of me...

This is really powerful for being so short.

[isilrandir.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ^_^

Short, lovely, and packs a punch (Oh, Steve! Oh, Tony!). I'd say that this is a great drabble. :)

[isilrandir.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :) I'm glad you liked it. Those two are just so wonderful to write about...
