I never meant to write anything for this challenge, and it was very early in the morning when I wrote it. Blame it on that.

100 words.


The day is couched in formal words and phrasing that flow over and through me. The slim silver band on his finger is the only thing that anchors me; his eyes seldom leave my own hand, where its twin now rests.

We make our promises to each other; the official declaration echoes in our ears. It's over. It's just beginning.

When we arrive home, I suggest we go where tradition demands. Ray smiles and slides long fingers around my wrist, leading me, and when we tumble down together, we make a start at devoting ourselves to words of one syllable.

Oh, this particular turn of phrase just gets me. Fabulous.

That's the line that wouldn't leave until I wrote down this whole mess, so I'm glad you like it. :-) Thanks for reading.

That's so Fraser. Traditional, yet with a twist!;)

Fraser is nothing if not twisty. :-) Thanks for reading.

Tsk, always assigning blame elsewhere. Take credit for this! It's worthy. ^_^

[wildmachinery.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think so. :-) I'll just take ALL the credit, muahaha.

A hundred words on words: formal words, declarations, promises, and porn. Damn good!

[wildmachinery.livejournal.com]

I think the porn was my favorite part. :-) Glad you liked it!

I know I'm a bit late to the party - but that was just beautiful. So much was said in just 100 words.

Beautiful.
