fiction_drabblesAuthor's Notes:, three glimpses into Eve, the main character from one of my novel plotbunnies that has yet to see more than a dust jacket summary and a single scene. Well, Eve, here are three hundred more words for you. (Concrit welcome!)
Title: You Just Can’t Leave These Things To Chance
Challenge/Prompt: #79 Slave
Original Fiction
Characters/Pairings: Eve, Alaya
Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Summary: Somehow the job is just never done.
Eve eyed the laundry basket distrustfully. She could have sworn she’d just emptied it – everything from Patrick’s tiny onesies to Jack’s boxers and her own blouses carefully sorted, washed, folded, and returned to their proper places – and yet, there in the basket lay what looked to be a whole new load. If it weren’t for the fact that she still wore the same outfits week after week, she’d swear the clothes were breeding.
Well. Patrick would be asleep – should be asleep, she should say – for the next two hours. She supposed she could spare fifteen minutes to start the laundry.

Title: Was It Something I Said?
Challenge/Prompt: #80 Wonder
Original Fiction
Characters/Pairings: Eve, Alaya
Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Summary: Eve is at least smart enough to know that it means trouble. Probably of the good kind. But still.
“I was wondering,” Alaya said.Eve groaned, and Alaya stuck out her tongue. “C’mon, you haven’t even heard it yet!”
+++
Title: The Radish Dildos.
Challenge/Prompt: #82 Club
Original Fiction
Characters/Pairings: Eve, Alaya
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Implied discussion of lesbian sex; minor character embarrassment; poor taste in book club names.
Summary: Eve meets the Radish Dildos.
Eve’s smile was uncertain as she glanced at the faces surrounding her. Alaya had warned her about her book club getting “a little wild,” but she’d thought that meant spirited arguments about authorial intent. Instead, they’d only gotten through about half an hour of discussion before the conversation turned to increasingly salacious speculation about two of the female characters. Eve’s ears had long since gone pink. Possibly, she thought wryly, the club’s name ought to have warned her.
“Oh, we’ve embarrassed Eve,” Hao laughed.
Alaya smiled and waved a hand. “She’ll make it,” she declared, and gave Eve a wink.

“I don’t have to hear it,” Eve said. Exasperation warred with affection in her for the other woman. “Every time you say that, it means that I’m about to be roped into something crazy.”
“Bah, don’t be such a downer. The gallery party wasn’t that bad. And you looked great in blue and gold!”
“But that paint took hours to get off,” Eve complained fervently. Still … She sighed. “Fine. What were you wondering?”
She hoped she wouldn’t regret asking.+++
