Hello? Anybody out there?
Hello, it's me. I was wondering if after these years you'd like to read some Quaggy fic? Okay, seriously, I have been writing again and might have something to show for it soon. In the meantime, I have drabbles. A long time ago, so long she's probably forgotten, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
applepips16 gave me a few prompts for 100 word drabbles for Life With Derek. I had ideas for them right away, but the time to finish them? Not so much. Though it has taken a long time, here they finally are.
Title: The Pink Pygmy Puff
Word Count: 100
Fandom: Life With Derek
Prompts: "Trevor (the goth guy) /Emily; Pink Pygmy Puff"
For:applepips16
Notes: Takes place around or just after "Just Friends". I don't remember if Casey had offered Trevor as an example, but let's assume that she didn't.
"Case, Trevor just handed me a pink fuzzball and walked away."
"Aww, it's a pygmy puff!"
"Is that what this is?"
"Of course! See its little face?"
"That's really cute! But how...?"
"Don't know. I think I mentioned that you wanted one when Trevor and I were talking about Book 6. I wonder if this means he still likes you. I'll have to ask him… What?"
"It’s kind of weird that you guys are even friends."
"Not really. He's fun to talk to and... Oh!”
“Where you going?!”
“To win an argument!"
“... This must have something to do with Derek.”
Title: Just A Little Unwell
Word Count: 100
Fandom: Life With Derek
Prompts: "Pink Pygmy Puff"
For:applepips16
Notes: Pips said that if I had trouble with the pairings she gave me, I could substitute Derek/Casey. I actually didn't have trouble with this prompt, but I wrote a Derek/Casey drabble anyway.
Casey is a totally different creature when she’s sick. Between her huge pink bathrobe and that gigantic headband turban thing, she looks like a pink pygmy puff. (Not that I know anything about pygmy puffs. I’ve never read Harry Potter... openly.) It’s totally mockable... if she was her usual drama queen self. But she’s not. She’s just staring at the television, clearly feeling like crap and clearly trying to not think about how she feels like crap. She’s curled up, looking all pathetic and adorable and she... Wait... Adorable?! Oh, no... this crush of mine is getting worse, isn’t it?
Title: His Salad Days
Word Count: 200
Fandom: Life With Derek
Prompts: "Salad Days"
For:applepips16
Notes: So the original prompt for this was Sam/Emily. But I just couldn't make the idea I had work. So instead, I offer this Derek/Casey double drabble. I admit I was also inspired by Toby from West Wing and his attempt to eat a salad for lunch one day.
“Edwin, got a minute?”
“What’s up, Casey?”
“I think something’s wrong with Derek.”
“That would imply that something was ever right with Derek.”
“Oh, nice one!!”
“Thank you. You’ve had your influence.”
“I’m flattered.”
“So what’s up with Derek?”
“He’s eating a salad.”
“He... What? Like by itself? As a meal?”
“Yes! Weird, right?”
“Yeah. Did he lose a bet?”
“No, he said that sometimes he just wants something healthy.”
“Oh. He’s trying to impress a girl.”
“Well, obviously. Except he’s eating it in the kitchen right now. By himself.”
“So?”
“Edwin, how’s he going to impress her if she can’t see it?”
“I don’t know. Word of mouth?”
“From whom? We can’t be his wingman if we don’t know who she is.”
“Well...”
“What do you know?”
“Nothing! I know nothing!!”
“Edwin!”
“It would mean my death!”
“So I didn’t hear it from you! Or... lead me there, but neither confirm nor deny.”
“Yeah... Yeah! That would work!”
“So...”
“So, the salad.”
“Right. That she will somehow find out that he’s eating.”
“Right.”
“Because someone tells her?”
“Well, it could have happened that way.”
“Could have. But it didn’t. . . Oh! My! God! Edwin! You are the BEST!!”
“You’re welcome!”

Writing fic, on the other hand, is supposed to be fun, because why do it otherwise?
no subject
[There were times writing fic wasn't particularly fun, which is why I finally gave it up.]
no subject
(I've been writing Avengers fic lately. Some posted here, some not.)
no subject
I am so behind on the MCU that I will probably not bother to catch up. I saw Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy, but nothing after that. And I still haven't seen any of the Thor or Captain America films. :-(
no subject
I live in my own little imaginary Avengers world which is based mostly on original flavor Avengers & Captain America, with only portions of other things thrown in when it suits my needs/wants. ;)
no subject
Fair warning the Buffy fic will likely be heavy on Buffy/Giles subtext. I got into that ship without meaning to and now am hooked. But your Spike/Buffy right? That's my canon pairing and I have a few really good fics I can send your way, if you like.
no subject
You are right, I don't even remember when I gave you these prompts but man is great to be reading these drabbles!
I'm feeling all kinds of nostalgic about LwD now. Trevor/Emily was one of my low-key favourites.I wish they explored it a little more. Anyway, I loved how he just gave her a pygmy puff and went away. And how Casey leaves in the middle because, Derek and an argument. :D
In the second one, I love Derek's inner monologue. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot hide his feelings. Also, crush. HAHAHAHA. :D
And in the third one, I loved that its basically a conversation between Casey and Edwin that's as roundabout as its telling. And the image of Derek eating a salad is so very cute. He must be struggling. The things he would do to impress a girl coughCaseycough. :D
Thank you so much for writing these! It felt so good to see these, like a throwback to the good old days on FF.net. :')
And here's to seeing more of your wrtiting. Yay! :)

It seemed like a very Casey thing to do, at least when Derek's involved.
No matter how hard he tries, he cannot hide his feelings. Also, crush. HAHAHAHA. :D
I like to think this WAY early on. Poor boy is still hoping that this was going to be a passing thing. ;-)
And I'm really glad you liked the third one, because that's my favorite. I'm a little mean to Edwin in the big fic that I'm working on, so I like to be able to write him as sweet and cool everywhere else to make up for it!
