Summary
“I thought I’d find you here.”
Rose didn’t turn around at his voice, didn’t raise her head, and didn’t stop gouging at the wood in front of her with the tip of her stake. The metal glinted dimly in the flickering light of the candles and the pew in front of her might have been a hundred years old, a thousand years old, but Rose didn’t care. She wouldn’t care if Headmistress Kirova, hell if Queen fucking Marina Szelsky herself, arrived to scream at her and then chuck her in a miserable prison somewhere for defacing a sacred space.
Let them come. Let them face what they had done.
Rose seeks out solitude during a time of grief but has an unexpected visitor.

Summary
He’d been staring at his locker door at the end of the shift, trying his best to not think about their last call. He wasn’t even sure what made him look over, if she made a noise, if he caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of his eyes; he wasn’t sure why he looked over because he hadn’t even realised there was anyone in the locker room with him.
But he did look over, doing so unthinkingly, and in doing so caught a glimpse of creamy skin, a strip of white lace, and a collection of clean, black lines inked into her skin, before he jerked his gaze up and met Sylvie’s wide eyes.
Spinning back around to face his locker, Casey coughed and shook his head, trying to wipe away the image of her long bare legs and that little tattoo on her hip bone for his own good.
“Sorry, I- I’m sorry.”

Summary
Casey swallowed again and glanced out at the house that was billowing with smoke. That front walk, the feeling of the stone cutting into his knee as he tripped and fell, his father’s angry voice chasing him out of the house. That front door, clicking shut ominously as it trapped him inside. That upstairs window, where he used to sit and look out, waiting for the yelling downstairs to stop.
He closed his eyes, allowing himself a moment to rest his head against the cool glass.
“Okay,” he heard himself say, hoping the others didn’t hear the waver in his voice. “Let’s go.”
Short drabble to fill the prompt Matt Casey + Abuse.

Summary
“Darlin’,” Adam said gently and Kim cut him the coldest side-eye that if looks could kill he surely would have been six feet under already. “Come on, please don’t cry.”
Kim sniffed and wiped away some of her tears with the back of her hand. “I’m not crying.” She mumbled the lie around the spoon of ice cream in her mouth.
Adam sighed and took her hand. She cut him another hard look but didn’t pull away. “If this is about-”
Kim yanked the spoon free and said angrily, “I’m not crying because of you."
“Darlin’,” he said again and Kim visibly melted as he knew she would. She glanced at him and he looked earnestly into her eyes. “I’m really sorry I forgot your chocolate ice cream.

Summary
Matt was leaning against the door jamb, smiling at the sight of the kids across the road playing in a big pile of brown and orange leaves when he heard it. His smile slipped a bit as he tried to identify the sound, something of a quiet mewling, almost like a disgruntled animal. He pushed away from the doors, looking around a bit so that he might locate the animal; it didn’t sound in distress exactly, but Casey would feel better if he could lay eyes on it and make sure.
But what he found wasn’t an animal.
“Brett! Mikami!” he yelled over his shoulder. “Anyone?!”
Casey quickly knelt beside the bundle of blankets, easing gentle hands beneath it so he could lift the squirming, grumbling baby to his chest.

Summary
Matt stopped in the doorway to the locker room, his hands coming up to brace on either side of the door frame as he peered in, but Kelly was pretty sure he wasn’t really looking at the lockers.
“Matt?” he said softly, having been warned by the other man many years ago what he should and shouldn't do in these cases. He didn’t touch him but stayed close enough that he could grab him if he was going to accidentally hurt himself.
Matt sighed, a gusty sound, as he shook his head a little. “He’s dead.”
Short drabble to fill the prompt Matt + Sleepwalking.

Summary
Carlos awoke with a jerk of his body and one final gasped, “No!” as his dark eyes flew open and skipped around the room. When they settled on TK he seemed to deflate a bit, even as he continued to breathe shallowly. “I’m sorry,” he muttered, scrubbing a hand over his face. “I’m sorry, I’m-”
“It’s fine.” TK automatically rubbed his hand up and down his arm. “It was just a dream.”
But it hadn’t just been a dream. They both knew that.

Summary
Rose usually didn’t allow herself to get attached to any of the canines that Maria bred, knowing that they would all go to royals eventually, but there was one Australian Shepherd that she’d involuntarily grown close to, breathing a little sigh of relief every time she turned up and he was still there.
“Hey, boy,” she said, letting herself into his kennel, the last in the row and filling up his bowl.
But he didn’t swoop upon it straight away as all the other canines had, instead regarding her with serious eyes, one a bright dazzling blue, and the other the colour of warm hot chocolate, so Rose flopped onto the warm concrete beside him, reaching out a hand to stroke his soft fur.
Short drabble to fill the prompt Rose + Pets.

Summary
From the second he’d laid eyes on it in the jewellers he had known that this was the ring; a simple band inlaid with a thin line of delicate sapphires, their pale hue reminding Severide of the exact colour of Casey’s eyes.
He rubbed his thumb over the band thoughtfully, mind drifting to his boyfriend waiting downstairs once again.
The plan he’d come up with was only a couple of weeks away, he’d made dinner reservations for one of the nicest restaurants in Chicago, it was going to be their anniversary, it was going to be romantic… and perfect… and yet…
Short drabble to fill the prompt Sevasey + Ring.

Summary
“My son baked the bread this morning.”
Rose’s thoughtful hum turns delighted as she bites into the bread again; she would never admit it to Olena but she thinks she might almost enjoy the tangier flavour of today’s bread more than she usually does.
She hears the door to the kitchen swing open again and Viktoria lets out a crow of laughter. “Hey Dimka, apparently your bread tastes weird.”
Rose swallows roughly and gestures in surrender so emphatically that she almost loses the rest of her breakfast. “Woah, hey, I did not say it was weird, I said it was diff-” Her words die in her throat as she turns to the newcomer and catches sight of quite possibly the hottest guy she’s ever laid eyes on.

Summary
“I almost forgot I put that in there.”
Adam jutted his chin at the little velvet box still cradled in Kim's hands, and she looked back down at it, eyes tracing over her old engagement ring.
“I almost got rid of it after…” Adam trailed off and cleared his throat. “Well, after everything, but my dad convinced me to put it in there instead. Seemed to think I might regret not keeping it.”
Now Kim had to clear her throat, a lump of emotion making it hard to speak suddenly. “I’m glad,” she managed to say. “I always loved this ring.”
Short drabble to fill the prompt Burzek + Safe.

Summary
Under the last king’s reign, one might have thought twice about approaching the palace if they hadn’t been invited, would surely been turned away without an iota of compassion shown, but the woman didn’t hesitate and the guard who stepped out of the guardhouse to meet her did so with a welcoming smile despite the frigid air.
“Can I help you, miss?” His careful eyes didn’t miss her tattered cloak or the drenched shoes she wore and he added, “Did you need somewhere to warm up? You can come inside and we’ll arrange somewhere for you to stay tonight.”
The woman shuddered a little at the idea of warming up and clutched the two bundles to her body a little tighter, noting with a rush of relief how they both squirmed a little in her grasp.
“I need to see the King."
Queen Bloom has been missing for nearly a year, but is there still hope on the eve of the anniversary? For Febuwhump Day 28 prompt: presumed dead.

Summary
“He was going to be a father,” Will heard himself say distantly, the sight of the woman cradling the slight swell of her stomach now in his head.
Connor hummed sympathetically, nestling up behind Will, plastering them together, back to chest; Connor was shorter than Will but still tall enough that he could press his face to the spot where Will’s neck met his shoulder. One arm looped around his waist while the other slid along his arm, tense from both being braced against the wall and the cold water.
“I know. But you did everything you could, just focus on that.”
“It wasn’t enough,” Will gasped, another shudder passing through him. “I wasn’t enough.”
Will has a bad shift when he loses a patient but Connor's there to hold him together afterwards. For Febuwhump Day 27 prompt: shower breakdown.

Summary
“What are you going to do?” Severide asked, although something in his voice told Casey that he already had a good idea.
“Matt,” Sylvie ventured, sounding torn between disbelief and pleading, like she too knew what he was going to do but didn’t want to believe it.
Casey angled his head towards her. He really wanted to turn to face her completely but wasn’t prepared to put his back to the bomber. “I love you,” he told her. “I love you and I just wish we’d had more time together.”
“Matt, please,” she whispered. “Please don’t do this.”
When firehouse 51 encounters a bomber on a call, is Casey willing to put everything on the line to make sure his family is safe? For Febuwhump Day 26 prompt: "please don't do this".

Summary
The scream slices through him, so loud and so sudden, that Rhys jolts spilling the glass of pale wine all over the expensive table cloth. Tarquin, with whom he’s been sharing a friendly lunch, straightens from his casual sprawl and raises an eyebrow.
“Are you okay?”
But Rhys barely hears him, his ears, his mind too full of the sound of distant screaming, of Feyre screaming. He hurtles down the bridge connecting their minds, screaming her name but when he reaches her inner walls they’re a fortress, and one that doesn’t yield even as he slams invisible fists against them.
Feyre. Feyre. Feyre!
But there’s no response, only the sense of churning turmoil, pain and anguish and fear, on the other side. He only gets a glimpse of it before those walls shove him out but he sees it, that intense feeling of wrongness.
When Rhys hears Feyre's distant screams he races home to find out what's wrong with his mate. For Febuwhump Day 25 prompt: muffled screams.

Summary
Dimitri will be worried if she's been gone for weeks. Rose’s frown deepens as the thought occurs to her slower than it should. The next, that he’ll worry regardless because she’s missing, comes even slower. Her chest aches at the thought of the worry she’s no doubt caused her boyfriend, her friends, the rest of her family.
“Shit,” Rose murmurs, rubbing a hand over her face. But when she drags it down her neck, her skin comes away slick with blood. She can’t even remember how many strigoi had fed from her, two? Three? More?
She gets something of an answer a minute later when she tries to push herself up from the bed, and her knees all but collapse out from underneath her, landing her in an uncoordinated heap on the floor. More, definitely more than a couple strigoi.
Rose finds herself captured by a group of strigoi but can she fight past the haze of endorphins to escape? For Febuwhump Day 24 prompt: too weak to move.

Summary
Timmy reached for Tecna’s hand again slowly, speaking softly as he did, “Is it okay if I hold your hand?”
Tecna didn’t answer, not that Timmy really expected her to, but her hand didn’t twitch away either. In fact, the smallest of sighs left her and her hand rolled over slightly, leaving her palm facing up, perfect for him to slip his own into. Her hand was cool in his, as it usually was, her skin no longer holding the icy frigidness that the Omega dimension had brought to it.
“I missed you,” he told her quietly. “A lot. I knew you were out there somewhere and it killed me that I didn’t know how to reach you.”
Tecna goes into shock after returning from the Omega Dimension, but Timmy's there to hold her hand through it. For Febuwhump Day 23 prompt: "Don't leave".
