WIP Meme

I had fun doing this on montanaharper's journal, so I thought I would give it a go.

Pick a number [1-16] and I’ll post an excerpt from the corresponding work in my WIP folder.

Then, if you’re so inclined, post this with the appropriate number range and let people have a peek at your unfinished stuff. Slacking, hell yeah!

I feel I should mention that only a few of these things are WIPs that I might actually finish. Hit me with a number, and I'll post snippets from up to 8 stories.

Haven FIC: After The Troubles

Title: After The Troubles
Fandom: Haven
Pairing: Nathan/Duke
Rating: Mature
Word count: 2,500
Summary: The Troubles are over, and Nathan's got a headache and a bad case of quiet desperation.

Notes: Written for my Holiday Prompt-a-Palooza. This was inspired by two prompts: mareen who asked for Duke/Nathan, touch and rheasilvia who asked for Duke/Nathan, hurt/comfort.

Also available at AO3.

( Being able to feel things wasn't all it was cracked up to be. That had been Nathan's opinion on the subject since the Troubles ended two weeks and three days ago. He rubbed at his temples, although this did nothing to get rid of his headache. Aspirin, bourbon and the meditation DVD Vince insisted he try had all been just as useless. He was beginning to think he was going to have to wait twenty-seven years until the Troubles rolled around again to get any relief… )
