3 short stories for

getyourwordsout Yahtzee challenge

Prompts:

( Prompt Five: Adventure )

( Prompt Four: A Thoughtful Gift )

( Prompt Three: A Twist in the Tale )

Longing For the Silverflintdaily DOW prompt: friendship beer wheelbarrow. Silver is surprised how his desires have changed.

Silver gazed at the waves, sea breeze stirring his curls. He'd reinvented himself many times over but only now, when he'd felt a sense of belonging, purpose and friendship as the Walrus's cook, did he find himself confused -surprised- about who he was, what he desired.

He'd long dreamed of beer by the barrel, endless feasts, gold by the wheelbarrow; simple dreams of abundance. But now he longed for more.
He wanted Flint. He wanted love.

Flint approached, clapped him on the shoulder. "Come on," he said and Silver followed, hopeful, sure he'd seen his longing reflected on Flint's face.

AO3 ; Tumblr

Anniversary For the Silverflintdaily DOW prompt: measure, dwindle, flirt. Silver and Flint after one year together. Modern AU.

"Why do you look so pensive?"

Silver shrugged, sipped his wine. Flint, standing behind him, wrapped one arm around Silver's waist, kissed one cheek.

"I don't think I've ever had an anniversary," Silver said. "I flirt, I date, I watch affection dwindle, I leave when things get bad or boring, or before they go that way. A whole year together... a measure of commitment I wasn't sure I was capable of."

"Well you are," Flint said. "Don't let past fears haunt you. I'm not going anywhere. And I hope neither are you."

Silver smiled and shifted position to kiss Flint.

M closed her eyes. The worst of it was, she believed him. In H's world, getting poisoned or, excuse her, 'having a severe allergic reaction' probably just counted as a slightly bad day. Occupational hazard.

Summary: Modern au for the silverflint DOW prompts failure, cat, spaghetti

Also at AO3, Tumblr

"It's terrible," Silver said mournfully, poking at the spaghetti with a fork.

Flint was chewing manfully but his expression spoke volumes. He picked up a napkin and discreetly spat out the mouthful.

"I wouldn't say it's a failure," Flint said carefully. "But even a stray cat would think twice."

Silver laughed and the tension was broken. "I'm still not much of a cook."

"Conveniently for you it means I have to take you out to dinner, or at least order in," Flint said, pulling out his phone. "What do you fancy?"

"Still Italian," Silver said. He smiled. "And then you."

Drabble for the Silverflint DOW Week 11 November 18, 2019: talent, kettle, forest

After fighting off an attacker a cold and wet Silver and Flint take refuge at Miranda's cottage. Season 01, huddling for warmth.

They ran through the forest in the rain, finally reaching the cottage where Miranda gave them blankets, put on the kettle, and went back to bed.

Silver took off his wet garments and huddled by the fireside under a blanket. Flint followed suit.

"You're not hurt?"

"Just cold," Silver said, teeth chattering. He had a talent for lucky escapes and Flint had killed their attackers.

"Come here." Flint pulled him close to share body heat, skin to skin.

Silver stopped shivering. The kettle boiled; Flint offered to make tea.

"In a minute." He didn't want Flint to let go yet.

Modern AU. Silver returns from bloodied from a bar fight and Flint is angry and tender and ultimately touched.
For the silverflintdaily Drabble of the Week November 11, 2019: blood, trousers, bet
Also at AO3 and Tumblr

Silver returned home and Flint's face fell.

"Sit," Flint ordered. He fetched a bowl of water and a cloth, crouched down to dab at the bloodied lip and bruised cheekbone. Damaged knuckles had left a blood smear on Silver's trousers. Silver winced.

"What happened? Did you lose a bet?"

Silver shook his head.

"I'll ask Billy," Flint said, angry that Billy hadn't brought Silver back from the pub.

"I'm used to being insulted," Silver said softly. "But that man insulted you. Us."

"You're an idiot," Flint said but he was incredibly touched that Silver cared enough to fight for them.

In The Moment; Black Sails, modern AU, Silverflint
For the silverflintdaily Drabble of the Week - November 4, 2019: smile, sometimes, breakneck
also at AO3 and tumblr

Sometimes Silver seemed reluctant, giving reasons they shouldn't have moved in together, or refusing to go to social events as James's plus one, or getting twitchy over them buying a new duvet or a toaster. As if he wasn't going to stay put.

Other times Silver moved with breakneck speed, booking a romantic weekend away, joking about setting up a wedding registry, looking at pet adoptions, and telling strangers James was his husband. As if he wanted everything now.

The best times were when they sat quietly, talking, drinking, smiling. No reticence, no rushing. Being in the moment. Being happy.

This month's theme is 'gatekeeping'. Today's piece looks at gatekeeping and the way Tumblr's ban on adult content directly affected marginalised users including those who are LGBTQ+ and/or women and posited women's bodies as sexual as compared to men's.
