Tuesday: Gifts and presents

[cyphersushi.livejournal.com]

Greetings!
I am sorry about yesterday, I was out celebrating my birthday and completely forgot about making the post before I left. But today I won't forget and due to this week being my birthday week, today's theme is Gifts! It could be an awesome random gift, a birthday present gone wrong or maybe a bomb concealed as a gift.

Just remember the rules!
* No more than three prompts from the same fandom
* No more than five prompts in a row
* If your prompt is answered you may leave a new one
* Spoiler, don't leave any in the prompts and if your fill containts one please warn accordingly. Wait a week before prompting something that might be considered spoilery (if you are wondering if it is, it probably is)

Examples:
Castle, Ryan/Esposito, Giving away the last donut
Dr Who, Amy/Rory, He is great at giving gifts
Leverage/Firefly, Sterling/Eliot + Badger, Sterling goes to his cousin to find the perfect gift for Eliot

He's not sure how Kitty does it. He's not sure why she does it.

No, that's a lie. He knows why. Just doesn't want to think on it too hard. Might mean he'd have to do something about that reason.

But he still doesn't know how she always knows where he is, or where he's about to be when his birthday rolls around. Some years it's easy, of course. He's not always on the move. Then again he hardly knows where he'll end up when he is.

Pete frowns and scratches at the space between his eyes. Cigarette dangling from his lips he shakes the box that's been delivered instead of shaking his head.

Those couple of years when they'd all thought he was dead? The worst. The absolute worst. Mostly in the beginning when it was all fresh and her guilt (all those fights) felt extra weighty. But even after the initial raw burn had died (Ha! Raw burn. The wisecracks Pete could make out of that) there was something numb and dead and disbelieving where there had once been a Pete Wisdom, and no one after had been able to fix it.

Then it turned out the rotten bastard was alive!

Ugh. Jerk.

But so long as the birthday presents she sent him never came back stamped Return To Sender, it was okay.

Now if she could only get him to sit still, because if had to sit through one more of Forge's sly remarks about stalking her exes...
