Drabble: All's Fair (Psych, Gen)

“Well one of you is going to have to…”

“Not it!” Shawn shouted before Henry could even finish his sentence.

Gus frowned; “Dude, he could have been saying ‘one of you is going to have to eat the rest of this pie’.”

Shawn raises an eyebrow at his father; “Conditional, not it unless it involves pie.”

“You can’t have a conditional ‘not it’.” Henry shook his head; “You know the rules specifically state once you’ve said it, you can’t take it back.”

“What about the qualified take backsies clause of 1997?”

“Shawn, that clause is only for adults. Pie, Gus?”

Drabble: "Might Change" (Burn Notice, Gen)

He’s a spy first, they’ve always known that – and watching him down his great descent to hell hasn’t been a picnic for any of them. Each of them thinks they might change it, eventually, but in the long run there’s no changing who Michael is.

Fiona thinks it was Anson that started this ball rolling; Anson that got him burned and prodded him at every turn. Sam thinks it was the war and the things he did back in the day.

Madeline knows, has always known, that he would always be a man apart from the rest of the world.

Drabble: "Sweet Taste of Change" (Psych, Gen)

Someone has to be responsible for a change, Shawn’s just surprised it has to be him. He really sort of thought that Gus would always be the one who would, through some stroke of cosmic jujube genius, know exactly what to say and do and when. But when he listens to the voicemail from Chief Vick asking where they are and finds Gus coming down from another high, napping on the couch, he knows he has to take matters into his own hands.

Skittles, M&Ms, Toblerone, Mike & Ike, Snickers, Twizzlers, 3 Musketeers and Tootsie Rolls fill the garbage can.

Drabble: "Watching" (Big Bang Theory, Gen)

Stuart watches them from behind the counter, arguing semantics over back issues; who was the best Green Lantern – Alan Scott, of course… everyone knows that even though she likes Hal Jordan better because he was in the movie and played by Ryan Reynolds – and he realizes that despite their differences they’re happy. He’s just another geek in a comic shop and yet there’s this beautiful girl with him that he doesn’t appreciate nearly as much as she deserves. A woman like that is a treasure.

How in the hell did this happen?

And why doesn’t it ever happen to him?
