Drabble Meme
So! I have horrible writer's block. I am trying this to solve it, but there are no guarantees of anything coming of it.

Drabble meme time! Make a request, get a drabble: just give me a fandom, characters, pairings, prompts, words, photos, whatever. And then I will write you a drabble. We hope.

Here is a photo, make of it what you will!

When I saw it, it made me think of the trucks in Nightwatch but I didn't see any secret burners or magicians around.

Oh, man, Nightwatch. I was so excited by the previews for that movie, and then rather disappointed by the actual thing. I am thinking about what to do for the photo!

Have you read the books? They are pretty good.

I haven't. I really liked the idea of the world, but was a bit turned off because the story the movie told seemed so cliche, and didn't really do anything interesting with it. Are the books better?

Comment hijacking here, but the books are totally better than the films!

The books are much better, I think. The world is so enjoyable and detailed. The film only tells part of the first novel, and kind of messes around with some things in the plot line with the son.

Marci recently wrote of finding a gold tooth and a train ticket in a 19th century coat; if there's a drabble in that, I'd love ot read it.

Ooh! Can we do Swordspoint? It's hard to decide what to request - maybe something with Alec and Richard and either of their families, or Richard and Jessica, or Alec/Richard before Richard retires to the countryside or, you know, anything really. :D

Of course we can do Swordspoint!

The girl was impatient, loud, small. Alec said she looked nothing like him- though Richard thought he lied- and had continually messy hair the red of mahogany. Richard sometimes touched the softness of it, the fine strands. Despite all her movement and noise, she seemed fragile to him, bones as thin as birds'. It made Richard feel heavy.

She was their consequence, like a souvenir from a part of Alec's life they never talked of. And yet, who were they to her, but old men: perhaps unfriendly, surely unremarkable. She was her own.

She seemed light when he lifted her.

The hospital, never quiet, sounded faint; its constant glare was dimmed. Hisoka breathed. He could hear machines beeping, urgent voices. He tried to sit up, to clench his hand. He dragged in a breath. The mask on his face seemed like it was suffocating him, and he shook his head.

He hurt deep inside, sourcelessly. He gulped air, short, quick. He could feel, distantly, his body shaking- like the anger he felt, though he knew it wasn't. He fought for more air. Everything faded, left him. He could still feel, but only fury, burning resentment as it all slipped away.

Mm, marvelous. That's my guy.

And Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night is the poem for Hisoka as far as I'm concerned.

"We finally have it!" one of the Gushoushin said.

"We’ve been looking for ages," said the other. "Literally."

"Oh?" Hisoka said. "What is it?" He reached for the book to read its spine, and a sound caught at his ears, reminding him of long sleepless spring nights when he was young, the crickets in the garden, flowers whispering as they fell, cicadas and wind and a faint, sentient, howling.

He glanced out the window. The cherry trees were still. There weren't insects in Meifu.

Hisoka looked at the book. "Can I borrow this?"

"Of course!" The Gushoushin smiled at him.

LOL. Of course Hisoka wants to be the first to borrow the Necronomicon. I liked the imagery when he touched the book.
