drover

[1,]STAMPEDE - when lady ashley comes around to take the reigns of his late husband's bussiness, things seem to be going pretty well. Or, that is, until the abusive workers get fired and it's left up to you to cattle-drove. What happens when a stampede breaks lose? (platonic)

The Impatience of Agatha Harkness

Death is not patient. Death is violent, difficult to entertain, always hungry for more, more, more.

And yet even a being who might slaughter the world to sate herself, who cannot remain still for more than a handful of breaths, pales before the impatience of Agatha Harkness.

“Move!” Agatha yells at a line of drovers, men and cows patiently waiting to proceed into the city. “I don’t have time for this!” She’s wearing a tightly laced dress which emphasizes her bust, now slightly duller from the road dust. Some of the laces swing freely and Rio fights the urge to bat at them.

Instead, she bumps her shoulder against Agatha, leans her head at what would be an uncomfortable angle for most people to mouth her hair, then says, “You know you’re an immortal witch, right?”

“I’m an immortal witch with business in this damned city and if I have to stand behind these cows for one more minute—“

Rio mutters under her breath, picks and chooses the words that feel right and wind sweeps past them from behind, a gust that blows both of their hair into disarray and carries a scent to the nose of the waiting cows.

It is the scent of wolves in the night, the scent of men with knives, the scent of Death, somewhere behind them, nipping at their heels.

The ensuing stampede does clear the path to the gates faster than the waiting, with a few casualties as a bonus for her. But Agatha hasn’t moved, simply staring.

“How’d you do it?”

“Didn’t you want to get to the—“

“You can’t just do elemental spells like that! You didn’t actually do anything! I didn’t even feel it.” It drives Agatha to distraction, that she cannot understand how Rio’s magic works, which in turn never fails to delight Death.

Rio shrugs. “I just did it. It was easy.”

Agatha rolls her eyes, turn to stomp toward the city mutter ‘I just did, it was easy’ to herself in a mocking tone, then turns back when Rio doesn’t follow. “Yes?”

“Say something nice, Ags.”

“Something nice, Ags,” Agatha says, completely predictably, then runs her fingers through her disheveled hair, making it worse. “The sooner we get my business over with, the sooner I can take you to bed. How’s that for nice?”

Rio considers, then trots after her. That is, she thinks, pretty nice.

Hey Hun! I am writing for Drover! I don't have a masterlist at the moment. I need to hop to it and work on one! Here's the link to my first Drover drabble! Requests are open for him (I've got a couple requests lined up for him at the moment!), Logan and Van Helsing!

New Fic: Drover

It's cowboy wolfstar! A quick(ish) drabble(ish) delight! Rated M. 1,096 words.

Read Drover here!

It's early, just past dawn and the camp wakes up in stages. There's the crackle of ignition as the fire is fed, the groans of sleepy men, and the cracking of stiff, frozen joints as they rise from the unforgiving ground. The horses munch noisily on their feed, and the smell of coffee burns his nose, the familiar scent kicking his brain into habitual overdrive. But it's the feeling of someone watching him that makes Sirius actually open his eyes.

There he stands, leaning against the side of the wagon next to the remuda, their band of spare horses, casually picking dirt out from under his nails with the tip of a knife. He's just... watching him. He's dressed for the cold morning in the same brown coat they all wear this time of year, but it looks natural on him, like he was born in it. A small smile plays at the corner of his scar-slashed mouth, and heat floods Sirius face as memories of last night flood his mind, filtering through his groggy haze.

Daydream

@demie1, I hope this was what you were looking for as well!

As he rises from the breakfast table, Damiano’s attention catcheson an unfamiliar object, sitting inconspicuously next to the pewter flagon ofwine.

It could only belong to his nephew, he realizes, the onlyother person to share the meal with him, and who has just vacated the adjacent seat.

He thinks for a moment to call Benvolio back – or at leastcall for a servant who might discover wherever his wastrel nephew has run offto and deliver it back into his keeping – but curiosity gets the better of himand he reaches over towards the object, taking it in hand for better inspection. It is a small book,not much larger than his palm, made with cheap paper and bound togetherroughly. Looking at it now, he realizes that has seen it before in his nephew’spossession, in moments of quiet solitude when Benvolio believed himself aloneand unobserved.

Recalling such moments does little but irritate him further:in truth, there are times that Damiano can only curse his brother for leavinghim with such a feckless youth, content to waste away his days drinking andwhoring – at Damiano’s expense, no less – or else lounging about anddaydreaming as he scribbles nonsense in his book.

He opens it, surprised for a moment to find not wordsbut images, a host of rough sketches made in charcoal and red chalk, some solitaryupon the page and some crowded together as if meant as studies for the samesubject.

There are gentle landscapes and scenes of city life – a droverand his flock, a veiled matron at market – along with reconstructions of churchfaçades and wide-spanning bridges, and various attempts at anatomical practicein the shape of an outstretched arm or a hand. As he continues to turn throughthe pages, the human figures become more and more frequent – and more familiar –until Damiano realizes he is looking at the eyes of his own son, eyes that heknows he will never see again in this life. On the facing page is Mercutio’ssmile, recognizable even to a blind man. Another page, and there the two youngmen stand in partial profile, his son’s arm clasped around Mercutio’sshoulders.

It is all too much – he wants to close the book and pretendhe never found it – and yet he cannot stop, for each image is so true to life thathe half-expects them to transform into flesh and blood before his eyes.

As he makes his way towards the middle of the book, though, thereare fewer sketches of Romeo and Mercutio, increasingly replaced by studies of afar more feminine subject.Damiano swears roughly under his breath, for had he not made it perfectly clearto his nephew that he was no longer to frequent brothels or any such houses ofill-repute? But this face, too, becomes more familiar as he gazes upon itsconstituent parts: coiled ringlets of hair, a strong and square-cut chin, adirect and rather unmaidenly gaze borne out of a pair of wide, dark eyes. Thereare pages and pages of her, as if she somehow embodies a question his nephewcannot fully answer, and while Benvolio has offered no full and completeportrait, there is little doubt in Damiano’s mind who all these features belongto.

He chuckles quietly, remembering his nephew’s strident protestations about spending time with the Capulet girl, a sentiment decidedly at odds with the frequency of her image in his book. Foolish boy, he thinks, a small smile of satisfaction curling ontohis lips, You really have no idea, doyou?
