Two drabbles for Highlander100 Challenge

[calime]

For the highlander100 challenge #117 Pretty in Pink
Thank you to sparklebutch for, you know, everything.
Characters: Caspian (I think that could also double as a warning)
Disclaimer: Not mine. Just playing. Though Caspian in my head makes me...hungry.
Title: Hunger
Warning: Tad disturbing imagery.

He’s mesmerized by the pink tongue nervously licking pink lips. They are all so… alive. Life, crowding beneath their skin, blushing, struggling to escape.

The wriggling has heated up the life in this one, flushed, breathy. The cold hunger in him wakes, rises, NEEDS. Once he had it too, the pink, fragile, warm life. They took it, gave instead the cold blue fire that burns, heals, drives.

He hungers to let the life out in pink frothy bubbles on pale lips. Bite the twitching flesh, swallow the life. Let it warm him, for a while.

Caspian reaches for the knife.

For the highlander100 challenge #117 Pretty in Pink
Characters: Kronos
Disclaimer: Not mine. Just playing.
Title: Once Upon A Time
Warning: Better skip it, if the concept of Kronos being human once squicks you.



Once upon a time a chubby baby more prone to giggles than crying was named "Rosy-cheeks" by his mother, despite being found under the eagle’s nest, which could have definitely prompted for a manlier usename.

Once a young boy, all angular coltish grace, blushed when another’s eyes looked deep into his.

Once a young warrior moved silently through the winter woods, flushed with cold and the joy of the hunt.

Kronos, though, will deny it. The warrior's dead and that which became Kronos erased the boy’s footprints from the sands of time. After all, he is the End of Time.

Beautiful, darling boy. Thank you, Cali, so much, for showing the delicate lines that were once written under the harsh current marks. Thank you.

And yet I find so very little "cute" Caspian or Silas ;)
Especially Caspian. I mean, even if he did eat bugs as a kid, at three it's still more adorable than disturbing.. ;)

*laughs* I am quite sure that many old immortals ate some kind of bugs as children,hey happened to be born in a right place (I mean, most cultures have an edible insect or two).
As to litle 'cute' Caspian ... might be Sleeps With Coyotes has something, because she has an early Caspian story that I haven't read, but I get the impression that it's human Caspian, not the Horseman-archetypal-Caspian only.
Silas is 'cute' a bit even when not little (provided you look from a very safe distance) so that may be the reason.

Personally, I tend to take 'everyone's been a 'cute' baby once' as a given and I normally don't feel the need to write it:) I mean, I don't even like little children as a concept, there are some individual little children I like and I can manage with rest, but they don't make me go into 'cute' overload, more like 'do they need managing? oh, they're someone elses to mangage, good'.

Was gonna say, I don't actually like babies all that much. Or think they're cute.

Now, puppies, that's a whole other story.
