I see now that the way to find out who you lot are is to ask for music. This is good. I did not know before. Also, you know, thank you.

*I've heard that it's important to express gratitude when people are kind. After all, kindness isn't required, it's given.

Three drabbles -- because I can

Warrior Angel (Sean/Cal)
For

goss

Cal was not the first man Sean took to bed. He wasn't the second. Callum wasn't even among the first twenty people that Sean fucked or Interfered with or touched intimately -- but Sean doesn't dwell on that. Devlins don't dwell. Nigellus tells Sean that Devlins don't do a lot of things -- but he tolerates Callum's presence in Sean's life because Sean wouldn't have it any other way. Callum may not have been the first, but he's the most important, and when he curls up next to Sean in bed at night, Sean forgets there was ever anyone else.

due South (RayK/Fraser)

Canada is not Ray's dream. It's cold and wet, and the snow -- Ray is not in love with the snow. How could someone be in love with all that snow? How could anyone dream about a place so big and empty and lacking in delivery? Canada's not what Ray thought about when he was under the hood of the GTO at seventeen or walking the beat at twenty-two. But at thirty-nine, Ray has another dream. Except Fraser's not a dream -- he's Ray's reality, and if Fraser's dream is Canada, well - Ray can have more than one dream.

Harry Potter (Blaise/Theodore)

Blaise is not a dreamer -- he's a realist. He does not dwell on things as they might be; wands, curses and Arithmancy are his reality. His family are what Blaise knows; the coming war is a fact. There is no room for dreamers amongst Death Eaters -- there's no space for 'what if' when the tergiversari hex each other into the infirmary.

There's no room for anything in Blaise's life except cold, hard facts -- so he supposes it's a good thing he has Theodore in his bed. Too much reality is never good -- even for a Zabini.
