Drabble: An Airport Proposition

[littleotter73]

So I am bringing it around full circle to close out March Madness. This drabble starts with the last active last line from foreverbooks' drabble 'Best Laid Plans...' (the 3 other drabbles used last lines from older drabbles that had fills) and ends with the very first prompt that started things off.


Title: An Airport Proposition

Author: littleotter73

Characters: Giles

Rating: FRT

Setting: Pre-Series

Word Count: 100

Prompt: “They can do that?” from foreverbook’s Best Laid Plans…

Disclaimer: Just for fun, not profit

 

 

 

“They can do that, you know,” Giles overheard standing in the queue while waiting to board.

 

“No!” exclaimed the companion.

 

“But the coolest thing? Immortality! Think of all the sex…”

 

“Oh man! If only…”

 

Giles rolled his eyes at the lack of originality.

 

“Imagine it!” the one dared as they headed off together.

 

Giles sighed, leaving the queue. Once in gents, he dusted the vamp and told the bloke to bugger off. 

 

It certainly was an auspicious start to his journey. Staring at the plane ticket in his hand, Giles took a deep breath and handed it to the agent.

Monthly Theme: Tropes!

[littleotter73]

Welcome to April! This month's theme will be:

Tropes

In order to allow you to fulfill a trope prompt, we are accepting drabbles and/or ficlets up to 1000 words (keeping in line that Giles Shorts is about short fic). If you are inspired to write longer fic to one or more prompts, we are happy to have you pimp it here, just provide a link to your story in your entry. Also, if you have a trope you have always wanted to write but don't see it prompted or don't want to wait to see whether it will be one of our prompts over the next four weeks, go ahead and write it and post! Every week we will provide a choice of three tropes for the prompts. Bonus points if you combine them!

This week's prompts are:

Bed Sharing
Hurt/Comfort
Time Travel
