Summary
This is a collection of short Five Line Fics that are the result of an ongoing writing exercise on tumblr. Each chapter is a five line fic based on a single word/phrase prompt that some nice person has put in my tumblr ask box. So far I only have Kastle and Clairedevil ones, but I'm open to Malektra and Shadymariah as well. (the pairing will be in the chapter titles for quick reference even though it's almost all Kastle at the moment)

Kastle + Restless
Hot nights in the city are unbearable, the air thick and sticky with humidity, her a/c nothing but a barely sputtering hunk of scrap.
She gets twisted up in the sheets, the material clinging to her damp body like a second skin.
She’s taken to going up to the roof at midnight, like clockwork, to stand in her thin shift and let the cool air whip around her.
Frank catches this phenomenon once, watching from the adjacent rooftop through the glass of his binoculars, her building a pit stop on his nightly patrol.
She looks like an angel to him, translucent material swirling around her like wings, hair glowing in the moonlight like a halo.
