Title: Each one is seperately named after the song it was inspired by.
Pairing:  Noelian
Summary: Last night I decided to write some drabbles, because I've never done it before. So I put my iTunes on shuffle and wrote about the songs that came on until I got bored! So here are there four 100-word drabbles that I wrote.
Word Count: 100 words each.
Rating: PG
Warnings: Just fluff, really!
Disclaimer: None of this ever happened and I don't own Noel or Julian.
Author’s Notes: I'm very apprehensive about posting this after the recent 'the quality is falling' talk, but there's no time like the present I guess! ;)



An Hour Away – Flood Of Red

The show was an hour away and the fans were beginning to flood in through the doors to take their seats. Julian sat behind the curtain, hands shaking and twiddling nervously. He’d done it before, many times, but this was different. This was Wembley. He breathed a deep breath and stood up, but before he had chance to say anything, two hands crept along his midriff and squeezed him comfortingly.

“It’s okay Ju. Don’t be nervous. I’ll be up there with you. It will all be brilliant.”

And he was right, it was brilliant – because Noel was there with him.



Stormy Weather – The Kooks


The winter storm raged outside, trees flailing helplessly in the violent wind. Inside, the fire crackled as it heated up the room. Noel shivered and snuggled further into Julian’s chest as a gust of wind managed to get into the room. Without saying anything, Julian wrapped his arms tightly around Noel, sharing his body heat and embracing him protectively. He kissed his forehead lightly, planting a trail of soft kisses across his hair and down to the crook of his neck. He felt Noel breathe deeply into his chest, and he smiled. He wouldn’t change this moment for the world.



Insomnia – Enter Shikari

Sometimes, Noel can’t sleep. His head mulls situations over in excruciating detail instead, thinking of strange things that he wouldn’t normally think about. Tonight’s subject was one that often popped up;  what would life be like without Julian Barratt? Noel would probably be a forgotten comedian by now, trying hopelessly to get gigs but never quite managing to get a crowd. He’d never have met ninety percent of his friends, celebrity or otherwise. He wouldn’t be famous at all. And most of all, he wouldn’t be Noel Fielding.  Because after all, they’re not just friends – they are each other’s everything.



Not Perfect – Tim Minchin

Julian sat at the bar, drink in hand and neck craned towards the dance floor. He watched Noel’s hips swing side to side with the music – his thin, pointy, feminine hips. His arms lifted above his head to caress his own hair, which fell messily in his shocking blue eyes. His teeth clamped around his bottom lip naughtily as he became one with the music, dancing alone and not having a care in the world.  He turned his body towards Julian and smiled cheekily, gesturing for him to come and join him.
“He’s not perfect,” Julian thought, “But he’s mine.”

!!! Don't be apprehensive! Although the fact that you are is proof that you're not one of the people we were discussing, ie you care. ;)

Returning to actually read after Supernatural. I just wanted to say that bit. :D

Thank you! For 1990s nostalgia times, and for times that require a gorgeous snuggle. :D

I really liked these. Sometimes with drabbles you can feel that they're unfinished but these were all tied up really nicely. Powerful nuggets!

From what I understand, usually with song drabbles, you only write for the duration of the song, so that could be why some of them can be unfinished.

These were gorgeous. The images in the first one... ah! So lovely. That in front of the curtain they seem so at ease but behind it so full of nerves. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Julian twiddling his fingers while he waited for cues. :)

Awww me like.

(8)This is my brain, and i live in it,
It's tucked away behind my eyes,
where all my screwed up thoughts can hide
its not perfect
but its mine (8)

Tim song :D

Aw I like these a lot :)
I've always been a fan of drabbles, it's quite an interesting format since you have to try to make your point in such few words. It's not always easy, but I think you do it brilliantly :)

haha thanks! though I'm not sure it's meant to be funny, but you go ahead and laugh! I'm all for teh giggles!
(you should see it paired up with [livejournal.com profile] coeur_de_noir's! Every once in a while, Noel's open mouth matched Ola's "Yeah". It's brilliant :D )

You've got the mood down perfectly in all of these. They're lovely! :) I especially like the first one - I think we all know the OHHOLYSHIT moment before having to get up in front of a crowd of people. Just times that by about a million for Wembley, haha!

(Also, Tim Minchin! And the Kooks! I approve :D)

I do like a nicely written drabble; they're like little snapshots of time, and these four were lovely!

The first one was very sweet, and it was nice to see Noel in the role of comforter for a change (I could also see it happening!)

I love storms; being all warm and cosy inside and listening to it raging outside, just makes me feel all cocooned and protected (if that makes sense), and I think you captured that feeling perfectly.

The third is probably my favourite, purely as I suffer with insomnia myself and as such can sympathise with Noel completely.

And as for the fourth one; gotta love fics with Noel dancing! ;)

Lovely drabbles! I always find it so hard to get 100 words exactly, so I'm well impressed ;)
I like the idea of using songs; it seems quite popular lately.
