Non-HP Sandbox

[scribblinlenore]

I'm happy for all my HP-loving friends on their big day. But I feel a little left out on LJ today. So I thought of a game we Smallville peeps can play.

The Smallville Drabble-a-Thon

Our show offers so much to stir our drabble-writing imaginations, whether it's the long, lingering glances between Clark and Lex in pretty much every episode in S1, Pete checking out Chloe's ass in the rearview mirror in "Rush," or the Lionel-in-Clark lust for mamma Martha in "Transference."

Every episode of Smallville gives us something to write about, a missing scene to add, a wrong we'd like to right. So I propose a drabble-a-thon that does just that. Below you'll find a comment with the name of every Smallville episode that's ever aired. Choose one and write a drabble based on that episode. When you're done, leave it as a comment to the episode title. If you're having fun, do another one! My goal is to have a drabble for each one, so the drabble-a-thon will go on as long as that takes. *g*

Come on out and play! You know you want to. If you don't want to write a drabble yourself, have fun reading them and be sure and leave the authors some love in the comments to their drabble. And please, help spread the word!

And to my lovely HP friends, if you need a break, we'll be here.

ETA: By drabble, I mean something short enough to fit into the comments. It doesn't have to be exactly 100 words, although it can be, if that's what you prefer. Have fun with it!

Here's a running list of drabbles we have so far:

The water runs red although Lex never notices. He can't remember how long he's stood there; all he knows is that he can't stop. Ever. His hands will never be clean again, the stench of death chokes him, stealing his breath.

From a distance he dimly hears someone calling his name. Strong arms circle his waist pulling him back from the abyss.

Tears not his own mingle with his as gentle fingers wipe them away. Comfort steals over him, cooling the fire from his mangled hands. His voice ragged as his heart, he whispers a single word, his salvation.

"Clark."

This was exactly the scene I wanted to see after Lex's terrifying experience. I've often thought how traumatic that must be for Lex, how it must confirm his worst fears about himself at the same time it leaves all these questions to haunt him, and I love that Calrk is there to comfort him. I love that when Lex thinks about salvation it's Clark's name he says. Lovely!

Beautiful and tender! Ah, we should get more comfort scenes like that on screen. Well, actually, any tiny would do.. *G*
