Drabble Me This

So, I haven't been posting personal stuff much lately. Or much at all, really. There's lots of RL reasons for that, only the latest of which is that my mother broke the elbow of her dominant arm badly - twice; required surgery - twice; and has required, and will require, quite a bit of assistance for awhile.

I'd just been starting to get past the depressive phase I'd been struggling with ever since I abruptly ended up having to get my own solo apartment (and nearly doubled living costs that came with it) last spring, and the other family drama that occupied the fall and winter months - and, yeah. Double-shot motivation killer. Fandom's just getting the corners of my life at the moment.

Anyway, I decided to give multifandomdrabble a try this year to see if I could nudge myself forward again, and was blessed with no less than SEVEN awesome gifts:

We're a Happy Family by Ultra
Firefly, Mal & Crew: Mal appreciates the family around him.

Without Words by beedekka
John Wick, John/Winston: John may be 'excommunicado', but that doesn't mean he can't still communicate.

dead is dead by kiss_me_cassie
B:tVS, Buffy & Kendra: Mr. Pointy vs. A Sword.

Good Favor by lionessvalenti
Snow White and the Huntsman, Snow & Eric & William: Eric is teaching Snow White the art of swordsplay. It's not going well.

Wind Beneath Her Wings by klutzy_girl
B:tVS, Buffy/Spike: Spike and Buffy arrive home following their wedding.

Routine Upkeep by st_aurafina
Firefly, Kaylee-centric: Kaylee's learning what it takes to keep her crew going in hard times.

With Comments from the Peanut Gallery by misura
Fast and the Furious, Hobbs/Deckard: All talk, no action.

I only had time to write two myself (see previous posts!) but the whole experience definitely lifted my spirits. 10/10 would participate again. :)
