I knew this would be coming at some point in the challenge, but I was hoping it would be on a day I wasn't busy. Alas, that wasn't to be.

However, I can still post my response and the loss of picfor1000 this year means I've a counting words space empty in my life, so -- give me a pairing or character and prompt and I'll write you a drabble. By which I mean the old meaning of a drabble which is something exactly 100 words long.

Any fandom as long as I actually know it.

Because I am busy responses won't be immediate, but I will get to them asap.

No, it never does!

And you get a double drabble as others are doing it, so I'm going to copy.

Impact in sixty seconds

Gerard presses a series of buttons, movements sure as he takes in numbers and red-lit displays.

Fifty seconds

Gerard swallows and tugs on his harness, checking the fit. Knows that if they do hit it’s not going to be pretty.

Forty seconds

“I hear you,” Gerard says softly. He can feel his heart beating, bites at his lip as the warnings reach a crescendo and pressure starts to push on his body.

Thirty seconds

Outside, Gerard can see nothing but red streaked with black -- flames and space debris hitting the hull and he knows if this doesn’t work his life can be measured in moments.

Twenty seconds

It’s now or never. Body aching, Gerard hits a series of buttons, his vision greying out as red turns to dark blackish-blue.

Ten seconds.

A last button, Gerard thrown back into his seat, wanting to scream as gravity hits and an ocean comes hurtling close -- then stops --evens out, as abruptly, all warnings stop.

Ears ringing, Gerard pulls in a breath, rests his hand over the charm around his neck and promises, “I’m here. I’m coming to find you.”

Phew I’m glad Gerard made it there, wherever there Is! Hope he finds whoever he is looking for

[turps]

In my head he's looking for the others who have gone missing in a city under the ocean. The only way to get there being to slam through the protective barrier layer and hope like hell you can pull up before hitting the water.

Most don't achieve that, but Gerard's got a lot to live for.

Thank you!

Okay, I'm ready for the rest of this story now.

[winterlover]

Same!

[turps]

You're all very encouraging *g*

[turps]

You're all enablers!

And I love you all for it ♥

[turlough]

That was lovely!! I'm sure he's find Mikey soon!

[turps]

Thank you!

And yes, yes he will. After many dangerous situations on the way.

The breathlessness of this is fantastic - I'm so interested in what's going on, why he's doing this, but really, mostly, I spend the fic hoping it would be okay.

Nicely done

[turps]

Thank you!

I think Gerard would make a good space pilot, and be willing to risk it all for the others.

[frausorge]

As others have said, the building tension in this is great. And I also love how Gerard's point of view includes so much attention to colors. Lovely!

[turps]

Thank you!

I imagine Gerard would be very taken with the visual elements of space. I mean, sure, in this instance he had other things to concentrate on, but the details would still make themselves known.
