At The Deep End – drabbles Bella POV

May 3, 2010 / naelany / 0 Comments

A/N: It’s Zigster‘s birthday! I thought you might like to hear about the Wetboys some. The POV and prompts were given by Mynameisserendipity. Thanks to SorceressCirce for beta’ing.

I hope you enjoy Bella’s take on things.

As ever, I do not own Twilight. I just enjoy playing in the sandbox.
**************

Sail

Alec has finally left – gone to who cares where.

I watch my best friend closely, hoping that he will bounce back to the way he used to be, but it is as if Alec’s venomous words have taken the wind out of his sails.

It’s been weeks, and he continues to hold a part of himself back. He claims to be fine. I can see the change in him, though, and it makes me ache for him.

I pray that, with time, he will open up again and his heart will heal.

He deserves to be happy, to be loved. Continue reading

At The Deep End – random drabbles

April 7, 2010 / naelany / 2 Comments

A/N: A few more drabbles, in varying POVs. Prompts and POVs are courtesy of EchoesOfTwilight. They are in order of the story time-line.
Thanks to SorceressCirce and kimberlycullen10 for beta’ing.
I hope you’ll enjoy.

As always, Twilight is not mine.

Talisman – EPOV

I held the small, innocuous piece of metal between my fingers. The uneven ridges bit into my flesh as my grip tightened.

The key in and of itself was innocent enough – the reason behind it, however, wasn’t. I didn’t know what he would say, if he would welcome the gesture. Would he be upset? Would he use it? Would he need to?

I closed my eyes briefly before holding it out to him. He watched me curiously as he opened his hand.

“Here, Jazz. I want you to have this…as a talisman, of sorts. I hope you’ll use it.” Continue reading

At The Deep End – Drabbles from Momma Hale

April 3, 2010 / naelany / 1 Comment

A/N: Since I haven’t been able to write, I had SorceressCirce give me a few prompts in the hopes of getting into the groove again. Took a while, but the end result is what you see below. Hope you’ll enjoy getting into Momma Hale’s head for a bit.

Thanks for the prompts and beta effort, SorceressCirce.

*****************

POV – Jasper’s mom

Cerulean

I watch him as he asks if we can sit down to talk as a family. He says he has someone he wants to introduce to us.

The cerulean of his eyes – mirrors of my own – shines brightly as he talks. I want to meet the person who’s been able to make my son come so alive.

Tilting my head, I take in every tiny cue he conveys, though he doesn’t realize it. I am a mother, after all.

I have a feeling I will get along with… him.

But I worry, knowing his father won’t.

I nod, reaching out.

At The Deep End – RosePOV drabbles

March 17, 2010 / naelany / 1 Comment

A/N: Happy Birthday, Mynameisserendipity. I hope you like these drabbles from ATDE; they’re all RosePOV. I thought you might enjoy them. Thank you so much for all your hard work on translating ATDE into French. You are truly a gem.
Bonne anniversaire, ma chere!

Thanks to SorceressCirce for the prompts and for beta’ing these drabbles along with kimberlycullen10.

As usual, I do not own Twilight. Well, maybe a copy of the DVD. Okay, not maybe… 😉

Confusion
I watch him as Momma asks him about camp. Did he have a good time? Did he learn anything new? Did he make any new friends? He answers each question quietly, but at that last one, he blushes faintly.
I frown, puzzled as to why he’s being so…timid. He had been looking forward to going for months – years, even – yet now it seems as if he would have rather it hadn’t happened.
I can’t help but wonder what changed for him, because something obviously has. Even if Momma and Daddy don’t appear to notice, I do.
I always do. Continue reading

At The Deep End – EPOV drabbles

March 15, 2010 / naelany / 1 Comment

A/N: It’s EJSantry‘s birthday! I hope you enjoy your birthday drabbles!
SorceressCirce gave the prompts and beta’d this.
These are all EPOV from At The Deep End, spanning post-camp/pre-reunion.

Happy Birthday, EJSantry!!

Swing
I’ve been home for three days now and have barely talked at all.
Mom knows something’s bothering me, but I just…can’t. Every time I think of him, I want to curl up into a ball and cry, so I try not to think at all.
It doesn’t work.
I’m on the swingset, just moving back and forth. It’s as if this is the only place where my mind is able to let go, even just a little, my heart not quite so heavy as I’m able to remember happier days. Days filled with laughter, before… Continue reading

At The Deep End Drabbles JPOV

March 10, 2010 / naelany / 1 Comment

A/N: This was written as a birthday present for Annanabanana.
I decided to try my hand at drabbles, so SorceressCirce gave me five prompts and beta’d this.
As it turned out, they are all JPOV, and this is a bit of post-camp/pre-reunion,
spanning about two years or so, from “At The Deep End.”
I hope you enjoy it.

Happy Birthday, Anna!

Regret

People walking into the cafeteria – friends greeting their families after weeks apart.

I’m one of them, and I put on a smile as I hug Momma and Rose, giving Daddy a short salute as always, before he gives me a brief hug.

I see coppery hair moving closer, and I turn to him, shaking my head. Regret and shame eat at my insides as I see a lone tear fall down his cheek.

I want so badly to go to him, to hold him close, to kiss him, to apologize for hurting him as I’m so obviously doing. Continue reading
