A/N: 2 little drabbles in celebration of our 100,000 posts. I hope you enjoy. Thanks to Jen for looking them over before I posted. As always i do not own Moonlight, Just wish I did.

A Hundred Grand

A hundred grand is a lot of money, well to some anyway. I’m still in shock that it is my money. Who would’ve thought a young vampire like me could actually beat the Great Josef Kostan at poker.

I still don’t believe it. I’m just hoping now that he doesn’t come walking through that door, asking for a rematch. I know last night can never be repeated, it was a fluke, a stroke of pure luck, whatever you want to call it.

A familiar scent hits my nose a second before… “Guillermo, Just the vamp I was looking for...” …Josef.


A Hundred Grand

A hundred grand that is what it cost me. A lot of money back then. My wedding, with the special accommodations needed for the vampire guests, and to have everything I always wanted, was expensive. Though the cost was extravagant, it was nothing compared to the price I paid on my wedding night.

The cost of my impatience, my passion? More than I could ever afford, or ever expected to lose. The wedding may have cost a hundred grand, my haste in turning my one true love, the one I would give my immortal life for… an eternity of regrets.

These are wonderful, Emma-lee.

The first is both light and sharp - such a wonderful contrast. And there's no way G's gonna be able to dodge that re-match. :snicker:

And then the second - ah those bitter regrets. Poor Cora. Poor Mick.

Marvellously done.

Thanks Red. No i think G will end up owing the money back to Josef. And yes I don't think Cora will ever get over her loss of Mick...would any of us? :laugh:

Great--I admit I'm partial to the first because I like humour and that was definitely funny. Poor Guillermo... :laugh:

But I even felt some sympathy for poor Coraline, too.

Yes I do tend to have very different muses occupying my head at any given time. Thanks Fairytoes.

Emma-Lee,

what a wonderful response to the challenge!! One man's joy at winning 100Gs countered by one woman's sorrow at losing something more precious than money.

Beautifully done!

I like them both individually, Emma-lee, but as a pair they are wonderful because of the contrast between them. Beautifully done!
