A Lar by any other name

Ilex and I spent the night writing angst and a good share of smut I wasn't entirely prepared for (which I think means I do better writing as I haven't scared myself too overly much) and listening to a new song - Let Me Go by 3 Doors Down. That band seems to WRITE about our characters. It's just so ODD!

So, wanted to post something other than smut on this journal tonight so I thought I would post some Tonks drabbles. Tonks and I have a special bond and have since I first read about her in Book 5. There's just something about her that calls to me when I write her, that soothes my soul. I like to make her light-hearted on the outside even though there is deep hurt and angst going on in the inside. She personifies true strength of character to me. Of course, that is PURELY me since we don't see a whole lot about her in cannon. There are things that we can ASSUME, though, knowing about her past. I can only hope that JKR will write more about her in the coming books - and I shred my nails everytime I think about her possible demise.

Draaaaaabbbbles! Draaaaaaabbbbles! Drabbles for sale!
I'm blaming this on Ilex as she told me to write drabbles after she went to bed early. I had thought I would try getting to bed early but had to get this one out. Granted, this isn't an HP drabble but it's fandom so...

She tried not to smile as the tray of glasses went flying, shattering on impact. As a distraction, it worked well. Every eye in the restaurant was on Weiss as he landed heavily on the floor.

“Blackbird is in place and the crow has made an entrance. I’d take this as a go,” Nadia murmured toward the brooch on her jacket. The hat’s brim was doing a good job of hiding her delight even as she searched the room for anyone who might be looking to hurt her sister.

Perhaps she’d see if a kiss would take away his sting.
