Another drabble

[auntiemeesh]

powerwriter requested a Hetty fic, anything with Geoff. This is a little angsty, and takes place following the main action of the episode "A High Profile".

Haunted

The police had been and gone, the questions had been answered, the grieving mother had followed her son to the morgue. Mrs. Wainthropp had retired to her room, claiming exhaustion. Geoff was alone, nursing his coffee, trying to understand what he’d seen. The frozen body, crouched in the corner of the Pantomime shed, battered and beaten, metres from help and yet so utterly alone. With a shiver and a sigh, he headed up to his room, knowing he wouldn’t be alone tonight. Michael’s shade would be dancing before him, demanding to know why Geoff hadn’t come just a little sooner.

Ooooh. I think we should definitely encourage you to write more Hetty drabbles if you keep making my skin crawl like this...

Um, what RSF said? That's what I'm thinkin'. :-)

Thanks. :)

Thanks, andpipspebble just requested a Hetty fic, so there's at least one more coming. :)

This is making me want to get back into writing fanfiction. No, no! You're too old for it, Achi! And too busy! Don't!

You're too old for it, Achi

You can never be too old to write fanfiction! Too busy, yes. Too old, no.

End of the semester's coming up. Maybe I'll have time this summer. Or maybe not.

Too old? I dunno, I haven't written fanfiction in...well, it hasn't been that long, I guess, but I thought I'd progressed a little farther in my life since then. I guess progressing has nothing to do with it.

This was very sad and very well done. I imagine that was the hardest thing of all, wondered about the what ifs. I am enjoying all of the Hetty drabbles.

You know, Geoff was so young in the first season, only seventeen, and he was confronted with death in several episodes. That had to have affected him (probably more than he was willing to show). I'm glad you liked this. :)

Oh man, that was sad and angsty! Thanks for the angst ;)

I can't believe it took me this long, but I read your profile just a minute ago and you teach one- and two-year olds! I'm a pre-school teacher! I've had both three-, four-, and fives. I'm not working right now, but am earning my Early Childhood Education degree and hopefully open a one-room schoolhouse for homeschoolers.

You're welcome for the angst. Every now and again I just have to dial it up, you know?

I've also taught preschool and kindergarten (and fifth grade *shudder*). I admire your goal. How far along are you in your program?

Poor Geoff, he needs all the hugs he can get. :)

*hugs you back*
