Fic: Drabble Requests, post 1 of 3

A couple of weeks ago I made a request at fall_for_sx here asking for drabble requests. I'm still working on them, but the first six are complete, so I decided to share, in the hope that the FB will prod my muses into writing faster. ;)

Warnings/Squicks: Seasonal schmoop ahoy!

txrabbit asked for: Outside... The scent of snow just before it begins, watching the first small flakes fall from the sky, a kiss... and then added: Outside... The scents of crisp cool nights overlaid with the scent of a burning fire, while each breath hangs heavy just in front of your mouth.

tabaqui asked for: The scent of an orange stuck all over with cloves, an xmas tree seen through a window from the outside.
And, separately or together or whatever...the song 'The Holly and the Ivy'. http://www.carols.org.uk/the_ho11y_and_the_ivy.htm
I like it mostly for the 'rising of the sun' 'running of the deer' lines, otherwise it's a bit...redemptionist for me.

spikedluv asked for: I'll give you a couple you can choose from (or do them all /subliminal message): snow, trimming the tree, torn wrapping paper scattered on the floor, the sound of Christmas carols, hot cocoa... *g*

(Well, I didn't manage the snow, but I gave you spray cream instead. It's close, right?)

( Compromised )

akinaj asked for: How about... an advent wreath, with 3 lit candles. :-)

( Home Stretch )

taruma16 asked for: The sound of footsteps on fresh fallen snow. I just love that soft crunching sound! *g*

( Dangerous Decoy )

truly_tazi asked for: Too much eggnog and tinsel. :)
