Two more fills written for Sinfest 6, both under 1K:

Small Crimes, McCoy/Uhura, R
Prompt: "Leave me out with the waste / This is not what I do / It's the wrong kind of place / To be thinking of you / It's the wrong time / For somebody new / It's a small crime / And I've got no excuse"
Her fingertips find dark stubble and she tries to read it, like a message in ancient Braille from an older, simpler world.

Strain, Karl/Natalie + OFC, R
Prompt: "Give me angst, infidelity, and one last crazy attempt to save their marriage."
Natalie comes to L.A. for the weekend and sends him off on the quest because, as she quips, "We already know you're good at it."
