Jewel(le)ry challenge response

This challenge makes me think of Adorned, by resonant8. Just thought I'd mention that.

Anyway, here's a wee contribution to the jewelry (jewellery?) challenge.


Bracelet


The leather is a thin strip of reindeer, stronger than it appears. The bead is granite, the hole bored painstakingly and just barely big enough for the thong to penetrate; it doesn't slide.

Fraser is fairly certain Ray will like it. Has imagined tying it around Ray's wrist, wondered which hand Ray would proffer, hoped that Ray's pulse might flutter beneath his fingertips.

He knots it loosely and slides it on. Tonight he will present it to Ray -- warmed by his own heat, his own heart -- and hope, against all logic, that Ray will know what is offered.

How do you do that in only 100 words? Loved this:

This challenge is really bringing out the descriptive, sensual side of the writers. :) And yes, it did remind me of "Adorned", too. :)

So glad you enjoyed it! I really like writing drabbles. They're the haiku of the fanfiction world...
