Ficlet: Red Thread of Fate. (Steve/Danny ~160 words) Connected my 'Sanctuary...' Fic.
Date: 2013-02-16 05:36 pm (UTC)Until he has to secret his child away from everyone and everything they know and love. Because when that happens; when he finds the little church in the middle of nowhere Danny Williams starts having dreams. These dreams consist of a man coming to his little church looking for Sanctuary. But the interesting thing about this man is the thick red cuff he wears around his wrist. And the fact that Danny knows if he could see himself in these dreams, or visions; he would be wearing a matching red cuff on his own wrist.

Date: 2013-02-17 03:07 am (UTC)Red gushes like from a broken dam, turning his grey slacks dark. The damage is minimal, except he's sure the femoral artery gets nicked. His hands too numb to reach and press down. Nothing he can do except watching it pours from his leg.
It's fucking a hundred and four outdoor but he's shivering like January in Jersey without heat.
Steve would've heard the shot. He'd come investigate. He needs to.
Danny has mere minutes left and he hopes to - doesn't want to - say goodbye.

Date: 2013-02-17 03:45 am (UTC)"It's called strategic allocation of manpower, Danny. Your strength in talking was best to distract the robbers while Chin and I went in SWAT. It worked well."
"This isn't the first robbery/hostage situation we've encountered, you need to come up with a better reason."
Steve stares at Danny's shirt and replies simply, "Have you seen what you're wearing?"
"I'm wearing a shirt and it's red. This isn't a bullfight. Those lowlifes won't go charging towards anything red."
"Exactly. You're wearing a redshirt."
"What the ever loving fuck, Steven? You can't be serious about that!"

Date: 2013-02-25 08:58 am (UTC)=======
Gabby's bright red dress looks absolutely stunning.
If first impressions could kill, he'd be on the ground, blood seeping into the concrete.
He takes her hand and guides them to the reserved table, giving her a small nervous smile.
'You don't have to be nervous. She's a great gal.'
Steve's voice echos in his head, his level-headed comfort in matchmaking is frightening.
Gabby works at a local museum and is a total history buff.
Danny finds himself in the situation he feared before tonight.
He likes her.
Dessert is delicious, and they say their good-byes.
She promises to call.
