An AB drabble

Hey kids. How's it going? Not sure what fic I'll be working on next. I'm dabbling, as usual. Right now, Balancing Act 4 is at about 1,000 words but there's really no action in this section, so I might condense the next chapter (the action chapter!) into this one and make the fic 7 parts long. I dunno. Also, maybe I'll make icons.

Have a drabble

Title: Wait For It
Word Count: 100
Characters: Jean-Claude, Asher
Challenge: #59 - Waiting
Note: Set in and around Incubus Dreams. You know why I love the Anita Blake books? The slash is canon.

~~*~~


Jean-Claude stared at the body sprawled on the silk sheets of his bed, idly playing with the golden curls in a room as still as the grave.

He waited.

He spent many hours waiting. Waiting for Anita to grace him with her presence, waiting for Richard to come to his senses, waiting to sink his teeth into Jason's warm throat, waiting for his enemies to make their next move. Now, he waited for life, or something like it, to pour back into this vampire.

The body at his side twitched, then long limbs stretched out. Jean-Claude smiled. "Bon jour, Asher."

It's always good to have a drabble. Especially one like this.

Glad you liked it. Just trying to ease back into the AB 'verse :)

Touching :) It's good to know sometimes the wait is worth it...

Especially for those you love.

Thanks :)

Here I was thinking, I wish it wasn't a drabble--I would love to read what happens next....

*melts* mmm yes the slash is canon. *bg*

Canon slashiness is even better than slashy subtext, such as they had on Smallville once upon a time (haven't seen it in ages). The AB books have something for everyone :)

oh yes they do although I wish it was slashier you did feel the slash between JC and Richard..or was that just me?

[identity profile] mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com 2006-06-18 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there was that whole section in Incubus Dreams in which both Richard and Jean-Claude were knocking boots (with Anita) :P

[identity profile] lishel_fracrium.livejournal.com 2006-06-18 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
yes but I think I read about JC trying to convince Richard to sleep or even touch him. did you read it too?

Oh so sweet. :)

[identity profile] mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com 2006-06-18 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks :)

Oh very nice! I do love the canoness of J-C and Asher slash.

[identity profile] mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com 2006-06-18 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Yes, it's fun to be able to write those two (with or without the added complication of Anita ;)

Jean-Claude could never have survived, had he not learned patience. Lovely fic fragment.

[identity profile] mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com 2006-06-18 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. 400 years demands the growth of patience especially Jean-Claude's years.

Yum! Canon slash is the best!
And what a kicky avatar! I just got the Marshal comic with the Anita Blake preview art in the back... very much liking the look of it. Also, I made a few avatars of her... I'll try to post them on my livejournal.

Yes, I love the look of the comics. I can't wait to see how those turn out.
