OBD Drabble: Loss

[valmora]

for lasarus, because I promised her, many moons ago, an OBD slash fic.

Well, this is it. I had to borrow Buzzby for a little while, but I hope she won't mind. It's more Jonny than Buzzby, anyway.

Title: Loss
Rating: PG
Fandom: RPS celtic!bandslash - Old Blind Dogs
Pairing: Jonny Hardie/Buzzby McMillan
Notes: I don’t know when Mr. Hardie met his now-wife, Kym. I’m pretending she doesn't exist. That’s why this is fiction, which segues nicely into:
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Resemblance to real people is deliberate, but the intention of this piece is not to imply that the events or situations discussed actually occurred.



He doesn’t really miss Buzzby. Not as a person, since he still sees him a lot. But as a musician? Yes. God, yes. Aaron doesn’t fix the tear that Buzzby put in the band, doesn’t quite patch up all the holes. It’s not the same, and Jonny misses him.

And of course things are still great and the band still plays with a fire that the critics love, but it’s not the same. Never will be, because Johnny misses Buzzby like he would miss the music if he ever lost his hands and went deaf and could never compose again.

I know it's extremely short
It's a drabble. =D It's exactly 100 words, too, and you've probably some idea how much I worked at that.

I squeed, very very happily
Yay! I made lasarus squee! *dances in glee*

Sorry if I was a bit late in arriving
No problem. I was prepared for you not to comment at all, though I didn't think you would do that to me. ^_~ I promise I'll write another piece in September at least - hopefully a longer one - since I'll be seeing them then, if nothing goes awry.

~takes Buzzby back again~
*gives him*

The official, respectable def. of a drabble is a piece that is exactly 100 words long, not counting the title. I have written drabbles in the past that are slightly off 100 - like, 150, or, say, 302. ^_~ Getting things back to 100 words can be tricky for me.

I would make some cheesy comment here about making lasarus grin, but I'm not going to. XD

And sleep! ooh, sleep.... *decides to go keel over*

You're also allowed to have "double drabbles", which are 200 words, and other multiples.

I stole it from somewhere; I don't remember where. I'm glad you like it, though. ^_~
