and i feel alive (prompts post)

I went to mom's choir's Christmas concert today, and cried my way through at least six of the songs because, oh, one of the choir members did a sign language interpretation of "Silent Night" and one more song, and I can't get over her face, how expressive she was and how she was the very incarnation of joy and it was so beautiful, I can't adequately convey how beautiful it was. I'd never have thought you could recreate music with your hands, but she did. And I really liked the inclusiveness, obviously.

(Side note: when I was younger, they thought my hearing problem would get worse and I would have to learn sign language. It didn't, it went away instead and I put my hearing aids away at twelve, but I still--sign language is high on my list of things I want to learn.)



I feel like writing short-short things, so I thought I'd do one of these. It's been a while. I'll do the first five or six, depending on if my Yuletide grabs me again.

Prompt: a pairing, an AU or a crossover and a first kiss. Fandoms: BTVS, Panic, The Like, Bob, Brian, Mikey Way, Veronica Mars, DCU, Vampire Diaries, etc. You lot know what I write.

Cass is sure. Cass is always sure.

But she doesn't know how to ask, really, she doesn't know the words she should use to let Z read her the way Cass reads Z, the way Cass knows what Z wants. What Cass wants too.

She wonders for a second if it's wishful thinking, the way Z's shoulders are tense with please touch me, the way her hands move like they're about to reach out for Cass and then back because Z is scared. But no, Cass is right, she knows it.

Cass doesn't understand what's scaring Z; she feels like she's being just as obvious. Her fingers itch to reach out and brush Z's bangs away from her face, to curve around her jaw and tilt it up. Cass is brave, but this is hard.

"Right," Z says, and gets up, moving towards her.

Cass waits, because she thinks maybe, she thinks--

And closes her eyes because when Z is kissing her, she doesn't have to look to understand.

That is what I sound like every time I try to explain why I love her. CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASS. I LOVE HER.

And I am so glad, because, you know. CASS!!!
