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 + Reach
When he’s like this, quiet with eyes glazed over, staring inward into a pool of distant memories, it’s best to wait.
She aches to cling to him, to lay soothing hands on the battered planes of his face and will him to come back to her, but she knows better.
She waits.
And return he does, slowly piece by piece until there is light in his deep brown eyes again, life in his fingers as they twitch toward her.
And when he reaches out, capturing her fingers gently, bringing them to his lips gratefully, her heart finally unclenches.
