So, I recently participated in day_by_drabble, who were hosting a monthly drabble shower, from April the eight to May the ninth. Which means that I've managed to write 32 drabbles in about as many days. I feel really productive! It's been a great ride, both to write and read all the other's brilliant work and I really look forward to future events. Anywho, here's a list of everything I've written this time around (in different posts by fandom and with the number of the prompt as a completely useless detail for you) because... I should be studying. And I really don't want to. Though this is a really poor excuse. Anyway... here we go with the fifth and final batch:
