Serenity Drabbles

[cornerofmadness]

Still no computer. Boy this is hard to do at work.

These have NOTHING to do with Firefly for those not on OOS where Serenity was the prompt.

Drusilla – 1800’s Robbed
 
The Sisters of Mercy promised her serenity and peace of a good contemplative life. Drusilla had to believe in that. She had given herself to God and now, he would take away the visions that haunted her. He had too. Something hunted her for those visions, wanting the evil that hid in her breast.
 
Kneeling before the cross on the wall of her cell, Drusilla prayed for His peace to fill her. Her prayers were answered with the banging open of her door. Eyeing the monsters before her, she knew God wanted nothing to do with the likes of her.

 

Angel S3 (BtVS) Slices of Serenity
 
Slices of serenity, that was all he could hope for. Even as a mortal, he had never been serene. Angelus wouldn’t have known what to do with serenity, would have tossed the emotion aside in lieu of something more stimulating. Angel knew he didn’t deserve it but managed to steal moments of it. Who knew Darla’s obsession with the Orient would pay him dividends? His meditation and Tai Chi helped him to glimpse peace. Teaching his skills to Buffy, to share the serenity with her, that gave him more solace than he deserved. Angel moved slow and precise, savoring sereneness.

 

Connor S4  - Serenity Lost
 
Serenity, one of the things Jasmine promised; peace, love, all the things he had wanted his whole young life. He thought he had those wonderful things finally within his grasp until his father had him sliced open and the blood of his lover smeared over his wound. Serenity was the first beautiful thing to flee his heart. Pain and anguish leeched back in, driving out the rest of the goodness until he was hollow. He was a shell, a puppet and that was all he ever had been. His daughter had tried to give him peace, just another lie.

 

Connor S4 – Serenity Regained
 
Angel had cost him the serenity Jasmine blessed him with. In a flash of steel and a blaze of pain, Angel restored that coveted state. An odd stillness settled over Connor as hot blood pooled around him. As he floated away from himself, he put his arms around his sobbing father, willing him to understand that he was at last at peace. He gave his father his very first kiss as all sight and sensation faded away.
 
Connor rubbed his eyes, getting out of bed. His parents were throwing him a graduation dinner, what dorks. He wouldn’t trade them for anything.
