AB drabble for the PDS challenge

[mhalachai]

So, these past few days have been very busy. Yesterday, had coffee with an old roommate, then went to go see Serenity again. Today, we went running in the woods (go me) and that took up most of the night. I had just enough time for an Anita Blake drabble:

Title: But Scrapbooking?
Disclaimer: Laurell K. Hamilton owns all things Anita Blake. I am but borrowing the characters for a brief time and shall return them intact at the end.
Challenge: #14 -- Nathaniel's new hobby, from Pomme de Sang.
Characters: Nathaniel, Anita

~**~

"You've taken up scrapbooking?"

Nathaniel bit back a smile. "Yes."

"But... scrapbooking?"

Nathaniel sat back in the kitchen chair. "I needed a new hobby."

Anita frowned and pulled up a chair next to Nathaniel. "How about something less..." She waved her hands. "Fluffy?"

Nathaniel pushed the finished book over. "Look at it."

Anita opened the cover, and frowned. "This is all of us," she said incredulously "The whole pard."

Nathaniel leaned over, kissing Anita on the corner of the mouth, a gentle flick of the tongue. "This is why I did it," he whispered. "To remember what you gave us."

Ooh, cute.

I'd comment more intelligently, but I've had 3 hours of sleep in the last 36.

Aww!

This is the first piece of your writing, besides journal entries, that I have read (mostly because the others looked so long). It's very sweet! I'm going to have to start reading some more. :)

Awww, so sweet.

awww.

Very Nathaniel. And I'm envious that you've been to see Serenity again. I think I am going to have to wait until this weekend.

Awww. *melts*

Good for Nathaniel! He'll get Anita to relax one of these years.

Who need sleep when you've got sappy A/N fics?

Okay, lots people, I'm sure. Have fun at the confrence!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I can't help being sweet... I do such nasty things to my characters in my longer fics, I think that some sweetneess is just the needed thing here.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Thanks

I needed to go see Serenity again because I was so jittery last time that I didn't get most of the intricacies of the second act. I think I've got it all now.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

they can be so sweet sometimes.

(I love that icon! Is it Sprocket from Fraggle Rock?)

[houses7177.livejournal.com]

It is! I grabbed it from icons100 because how could I not? Don't they look similar, my Sprockets and Fraggle Sprocket?

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I think that timeline is a good one. After all, they have centuries for Anita to learn how to not be so grumpy.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

They totally do! That picture there is so cute. Did she just break something?

Re: Aww!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's all fanfic stuff, tho, so I'm not sure if you're into any of that. (and yeah, some of it is crazy long. I like these drabbles because you can only go on for 100 words. It's a nice change)

Re: Aww!

One way to find out. ;)

[houses7177.livejournal.com]

Not exactly break- we caught her dismembering one of my slippers.

[angelselene.livejournal.com]

Very cute. Very fluffy. Warm fuzzies.

I'm also a big fan of "Inevitable" and (though I haven't found time to read the last two chapters *damn broken comp*) I wanted to let you know I friended you to keep a better eye on when you update that and start looking into your other writing.

(That Hermione icon cracketh me up, by the way. :-)

[catherinecookmn.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

Speaking of Nathaniel, I finally got off my lazy ass and posted the link for my Nathaniel/Snape fic in your crossover thread. (I threw in the other one, as well.)

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Rock. I'll put them up as soon as I get home.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Awesome! And welcome to the blog. I've added you to the friends list :)

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Yeah, one of my earlier attempts at icon making. That's just such a great couple of screenshots of her :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA chuckles snicker snacker snicker snaker....GRIN.

That just made me laugh.

E.A.V.

ps-It was a wonderful snapshot for your scrapbook of drabbles. I loved reading this. Nathaniel was just perfect.

[penyn-1600.livejournal.com]

That is incredibly sweet. It's good that you have Nathaniel remind Anita of the good stuff.

[catherinecookmn.livejournal.com]

"Win-gar-di-um Lev-i-o-sa!"

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I think more than anything, Nate needs to see the good stuff for Anita, who seems to take a lot of stuff for granted. They're a good match, imo.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I do what I can :D

(and I think that secretly, Nathaniel is my fave AB character. He's so very layered)
