Summary: She knew he was short on time, and she knew he was probably only good for a one night stand in the back of that damn car, but for some reason, that didn’t really make much of a difference.
Author's Note: I may or may not have claimed these two for fic_variations for next month. And this is somewhat vague, and I'm still trying to get the feel of them, but I like it. Also, sticking to only 275 words is hard.

She knew he was short on time, and she knew he was probably only good for a one night stand in the back of that damn car, but for some reason, that didn’t really make much of a difference. There was something about the way he carried himself—the easy charm and the devil may care attitude that reminded her of someone she used to know. Someone she cared deeply—or at least as deeply as puppy love could go—once upon a time. And where he had polished edges, Dean was more rough and worn, but it worked for him. And it worked for her as well.

She wasn’t even really sure about how they had gotten here. Well, no she was actually pretty damn sure about how she had wound up pinned between him and the leather of the Impala seat—but she wasn’t sure what had made her say yes. But just looking at him, she knew she was going to regret it if she didn’t. And Elle had enough regrets in her life already to add him in as one more.

So when he didn’t seem to care about her strong tendency to give him a static shock, she knew that there was a chance she was going to get hurt in a big way if she let him to go through with this, but there was also something about him that made her not really care so much about that. So what, he was checking out in a few months? He was alive and well, warm and strong against her right about now, and that was really all she needed.

I hope you do claim them. This was really good, especially considering how short it was.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I was worried about this because I was limited to 275 words. At first I tried writing without thinking about it, but at first I was under and then I was over, and I've decided I like ranges rather than specified word lengths.

But anyway.

I did claim them. And Adam/Bela. So March should be rather interesting.

I claimed NLB again. What's going to be more interesting is me picking up Nick/Faith after a couple of years of not writing it.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

Ooh -- should be interesting.

Also! I recommend (I don't know why I didn't think to rec this to you before, but...) watching this comm if you're looking for good SPN het with no Wincest. There are some really good writers, and while there can be a lot of OCs, there's usually some Dean/Jo and other pairings thrown in there as well. There are also some really good writers too, so -- yeah.

Which community?

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

spn_het_love. They're mainly a challenge comm, but it's all het pairings. And while it does allow for het with a side of Wincest, they actually don't get any of that there as far as I know.

Oooh... ::goes off to join::

[amethyste5.livejournal.com]

This is a pairing I hadn't seen before, but it's very well done!

(Oh, an dgood job on the recruiting too)

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

Thank you! A friend wrote them before, and they sort of dug themselves into my brain and didn't let go.

(Hee -- she'd been looking for a community with more het, less Wincest for a while, and I've been a member since the community was created, so I don't know why I didn't think to rec it to her before.)
