Okay then!
Some time ago, I posed a challenge meme wherein people would quote me lines from my fics, and if I couldn't name the fic, I'd write them a drabble. It was a good turn-out! And I did indeed get stumped. SO! Drabbles ahead!
All three of them asked for H/D, in various forms. ♥ I sort of picked a random word number: 124 words. *shrugs*
This one is for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snottygrrl, who threw me with a line from World's Edge.
Harry shut his eyes and opened them again. “Fighting.”
Draco didn’t answer. Harry counted three breaths, too steady, too even. Too shallow. He cleared his throat.
“Quidditch.”
The monitor globe hummed. Harry thought about breaking it. But the silence would be worse, full of ticking seconds. Draco breathed in. Out. His face was like chalk.
“Fathering.”
There were no little footsteps here. The room was too sterile. Harry took up Draco’s hand.
“Sex.” His voice broke. Fingers he knew, stilled like marble on the blanket. A rapid pulse beneath white throat, thighs clenching, shattered breath… But Draco lay flat and silent.
All the ways Draco was alive, reduced to words.
“Kissing me.” A mere whisper. The globe droned and Harry cried into Draco’s palm.

Forviper_knight, who picked a line from Ultimatum.
“Don’t come any closer,” Harry warned.
Draco squinted. The moon washed ivory over obsidian hair. Liquid white glimmered across Harry’s cheeks. The wind rushed, stole Draco’s words.
“Come back.”
Harry’s head shook. “I’m dreaming.”
Draco reached out. Harry’s magic crackled down his arms, burned his fingertips. “I know you are, Harry.”
Green eyes fixed, sharpened. Harry touched his hand and Draco’s mouth opened on its own. He reached through the agony, pulled, gathered Harry’s body close. He felt lips trembling against his throat, and the magic wavered aside.
“I feel like I’ve marked you,” Harry whispered. “He’ll find you now.”
Draco thought of red eyes and snake voices. “He’ll find us,” he whispered back.
The moon shone like a pearl in a black sea.
...
...
Forgrunhilda, who got me with a line from Crackers.
Fingers brushed over his shoulder. “Show over, then?”
The refrigerator hummed. Draco smiled. “Patsy’s a riot.” He blinked in the darkness. “What I wouldn’t give for a lighting spell.”
“For any spell,” Harry amended quietly.
“Ah, well.” Draco stretched. Felt around for the remote and felt Harry’s hand instead. “You want to turn it off?”
Instead of words, cool fingers wound with his. Guided his hand up. Draco felt Harry’s cheek beneath his palm. “You alright?”
He felt Harry nod. Draco touched in the darkness, gentling his skin. Sweeping the faintest trace of wetness away. Harry swallowed. Draco brushed his lips, leaned forward, found them with his own.
“It’s alright, Harry. We’ll manage.”
“I know.” A sigh. The tiniest of smiles beneath his fingertips.

And... I liked the pearl/sea reference. I dunno if it was intentional or not (although with only 124 words... who knows)
*hugs* Thanks so much for writing such a lovely drabble ^-^
