din djarin. / day 16: sky

fandom: the mandalorian pairing: din djarin x princess!fmc tags: set in the 'point a to point b' universe, angst for @thedrabblecollective's challenge

This, too, shall pass.

Forearm tucked under his helmet while the other rests within her hand, Din lays here knowing this peace cannot last. Soon they'll chart a course to the final leg of their journey, and it will be like he never existed.

Just another dot floating in the endless galaxy on some traffic control's radar; nothing more.

Yet the way she squeezes his hand when she points to the sky, marveling at the moons appearing in the sunset, makes him feel like he's become something. Someone. Not just a nameless, faceless boogeyman - but Din.

For her, always Din.

November 2025 Drabble Challenge – Recap 4/6

Here's an overview of our fourth batch of five drabbles for @thedrabblecollective's challenge! All 100 words, all up on AO3 :3

16- sky [G] Death Note (sweet atonement series || Mello/Near, post-canon, Near's Mello introject, inner life)

Mello’s steadfast presence feels like too many things to be easily summarised.

17- coats [G] Death Note (Matt/Mello/Near, post-canon, alive Matt & Mello, fluffish)

Why would Near need his own coat when he has two boyfriends?

18- home [G] Death Note (Mello/Near, post-canon, alive Mello)

Near’s concept of “home” shifts over the years.

19- quiver [E] Death Note (Mello/Near, post-canon, alive Mello, bondage, edging)

Near's whole body trembles with desire, held upright only by the restraints.

20- breeze [T] In Stars and Time (Siffrin, post-canon, self-harm up to interpretation)

Moving on from the time loop is difficult.

You can find all of our drabbles for this challenge in our Drabble Challenge November 2025 series!

November 2025 Drabble Challenge

Day 16: Sky

Fandom: Dragon Age the Veilguard Pairing: f!Rook/Neve Rating: PG for this one, overall M, just to be sure Word count: 100 (duh!) Author's note: I'm currently working on a long fic (slow burn) that will tell the story of Asha (my Rook) and Neve. I'm currently working on chapter six and it will be a bit before I'll start posting it. These drabbles are technically happening after that story since it will be snap shots of key moments in their relationship Asha remembers after DAtV (and before the sequel I have ideas for). I don't think there will be any spoilers for the fic ('Rook on the Seventh Rank' will be the title) if you've played the game. I'm not inventing the wheel anew just sharing some new perspective from Asha.

I want to work on these drabbles to help me get to know my Rook better and getting her voice down and sharing some insight into her motivation and reasoning, since the long fic will be mostly (not all of it though) from Neve's PoV. (this author's note is already longer than the drabble LOL)

Author's note 2: Thanks to my wife, who's always supporting me in my writing endeavors and is cheering me on after I ended a IDK five year hiatus? I couldn't do this without you.

Thank you for all the kudos and comments I got on this series so far. After not writing for a really long time this really means so much to me.

Drabble under the cut!

Asha was sitting on the wooden balcony outside the kitchen, her feet dangling into the nothingness, and looked at the sky, or whatever it was called in the fade. She should be preparing for her trip to the Necropolis, but she couldn't focus. She'd have thought that it would become easier with time passing, but instead she found herself thinking about Neve, where she was, what she was up to, more often than not.

She missed Neve; she missed her friend. And even if they couldn't be more because of her own actions, she still wanted her in her life.

Day 16 - Sky V2

(Ao3 link)

Sunny loved watching the sky, almost as much as he loved pokemon and his parents. He would sit in the middle of a clearing or in his parents garden, undetected by almost everyone, and watch as the clouds drifted over.

Sometimes a pokemon would sit near him, close enough that if Sunny were anyone else, he'd be able to stroke his fingers along their sides and feel their warmth, or his parents would unknowingly join him in the garden. And it was painful, being so close yet unable to interact, but at least they could still watch the sky together.

READ ON AO3 or CONTINUE READING BELOW

Cooperstown

It's late Fall, and the sky is turning dark earlier and earlier in the evening. It's the promise of Holidays and twinkling lights.

"Bucky, I found this Holiday-themed bed and breakfast in Cooperstown. Would you like to spend a weekend there with me, get out of the Watchtower for a while?" I know he's not the B&B type of guy, my former Winter Soldier, but why not?

"Cooperstown, where the Baseball Hall of Fame is?" Bucky perks up. "Sure, anything for you, doll."

Holidays. Baseball. I can work with that. I smile to myself, thinking of what to pack.

Day 16: Sky - @thedrabblecollective

This, as well as all of the other drabbles I’ll be doing for this challenge, are meant to be (out of order) parts of a novel I’m working on, so they probably won’t make much sense on their own.

Cedar stopped abruptly, panting. She could go no further. She craned her head to the sky, and looked around. She had never ventured this far into the Woodsea before, and was now surrounded by trees and landmarks she had never seen. The earth beneath her feet rippled in swirls around her, urging her forwards, but the corners of her vision were as red as cranberry dye converging on white linen, and she felt as if her lungs might give out if she took another step. This was what Oak had warned her about. It might have been how Elm died.

Day 16. Sky

Challenge hosted by @thedrabblecollective Title: To Make This House a Home Fandom: Liselotte & Witch's Forest Characters: Liselotte Berenk, Engetsu | Enrich Pairing: Engetsu | Enrich/Liselotte Berenk Rating: G Masterlist Read on AO3

"Can't sleep?"

Liselotte looked down to see Engetsu climbing on the roof before sitting next to her. She pulled her blanket tighter around herself, smiling at him.

"No. Back then too, when I couldn't sleep, I would watch the stars in the manor's garden. Through the bars. You often joined me." 

She looked back up. 

"I can see better here, but the sky is different."

Engetsu gazed at her for a moment then pulled her closer with both arms, bringing her head to rest on his shoulder. He stroked her hair.

"Try to sleep. I'll carry you to your bed."

Day 16 - Sky

(Ao3 link)

Dull grey clouds filled the sky over Mossdeep City, and the forecast told Sophocles that they wouldn't clear in time for the meteor shower predicted that night. Not that it would have meant much, what with all the light pollution. It was things like this that made him miss Alola: the lack of night sky, the fact that a meteor shower was the closest he'd see to a minior shower…

Don't get him wrong, he was excited to be here learning about space, but it wasn't home, it wasn't clear nights and minior. Sophocles longed for the starry Alolan skies.
