One of the requests I received was something with Alonzo/Cassandra, so here are fifty themes, each one sentence, about this pair.
For Sleeping Tiger!
Rated... probably PG.
I do not own Cats.
#01 – Ring
Cassandra’s humans hated their doorbell, but it was just the perfect height for Alonzo to reach in one bound, slapping at it with his paws to let her know he wanted to play.
#02 – Hero
Being a Jellicle guardian meant you protected the junkyard from dangerous foes, but Alonzo never felt more like a hero then when Cassandra hugged him after he retrieved her favorite toy from that icky pipe.
#03 – Memory
When Alonzo heard Grizabella sing, he could only imagine Cassandra in her place in ten years, and he held her close to let her know he wouldn’t ever let her fall that far.
#04 – Box
His home was a large Chinese take-out box, and while it wasn’t fancy, it was just big enough for two amorous cats.
#05 – Run
Watching her, Alonzo realized that Cassandra never ran, never hurried, but she always moved at her own pace.
#06 – Hurricane
London never had hurricanes, but Cassandra in a temper could almost be classified as one.
#07 – Wings
He caught a dove and brought it home, and tucked the wings behind his angel as she slept.
#08 – Cold
In the winter, her humans kept her inside, and his den was far too cold.
#09 – Red
Too much blood, too much red, too much pain… Alonzo wondered if he’d ever see another color again.
#10 – Drink
The first time she lifted her head to lap the water from his paws after that Pollicle attack was the first time he could breathe correctly.
#11 – Midnight
Overnight, under the watchful eye of the moon, Munkustrap helped Alonzo exact his revenge, not saying a word.
#12 – Temptation
Temptation wasn’t a sin, whatever that human word meant, but it was a sleek brown queen with a white face and a long tail.
#13 – View
From his box, Alonzo could see the entrance Cassandra always used, and he knew the moment she arrived.
#14 – Music
After the Jellicle Ball, they continued to dance, swaying to music only they could hear.
#15 – Silk
Silk, Cassandra tried to explain, was the most exquisite human cloth, but Alonzo thought her fur was far more priceless.
#16 – Cover
Cassandra didn’t like hiding when she went from her home to the yard, and so Alonzo wasn’t entirely surprised when she showed up bleeding again.
#17 – Promise
They held paws and made a solemn vow that they would wait for each other in the Heaviside Layer, no matter what.
#18 – Dream
Cassandra loved kittens, and Alonzo tried to provide her with some, but their dream was ruined by a trip to the vet.
#19 – Candle
She was so named because she would drag a birthday candle after her wherever she went, their little adopted daughter.
#20 – Talent
Alonzo really had a knack for pissing Cassandra off, he discovered, but he also had a talent for calming her back down.
#21 – Silence
Privately, Alonzo thought Cassandra quiet was more disturbing than Cassandra in a rage.
#22 – Journey
After the third attack, Alonzo told Cassandra that he would visit her from now on.
#23 – Fire
When the junkyard burned, Cassandra helped Alonzo move in to her home.
#24 – Strength
It was far harder to live as a civilized cat then it was to be a Jellicle guardian.
#25 – Mask
Cassandra knew something was wrong, but Alonzo hid behind his face patches that made it look like he was always smiling.
#26 – Ice
It was the middle of summer when Alonzo returned to the yard, but in his heart, he could swear he felt ice.
#27 – Fall
Ice was replaced by stone, and the stone dropped to his stomach, when he saw her with Tugger.
#28 – Forgotten
Did she even remember their kitten?
#29 – Dance
Alonzo watched Candle at her Ball, but he could see Cassandra watching him as their daughter danced.
#30 – Body
What did Tugger have that Alonzo didn’t… besides Cassandra?
#31 – Sacred
The bond of a mother and her daughter, even if it wasn’t her own flesh and blood, was sacred, Alonzo learned, after Macavity swung by.
#32 – Farewells
Burying his kitten, even if she was officially an adult, was the hardest thing Alonzo had ever done.
#33 – World
It meant the world to him that Cassandra was at his side again at the funeral.
#34 – Formal
They were trying again, but Alonzo couldn’t stop being so formal with her, unable to relax.
#35 – Fever
There was no cure for the common cold, and the only course of action was to mope around his den, hot and sick.
#36 – Laugh
Cassandra claimed catnip could cure anything, and she laughed about his reactions for years afterward.
#37 – Lies
Alonzo didn’t know if he should believe her, but he never turned down free ‘nip.
#38 – Forever
“Promises are for forever,” Cassandra reminded him, when Munkustrap died, “and I promised I’d be with you forever.”
#39 – Overwhelmed
How had Munkus handled running the tribe for so long, and Deuteronomy before him?
#40 – Whisper
Alonzo could hear what the kittens were saying behind his back, but it wasn’t true – he hadn’t killed Tugger for flirting with Cassandra, only knocked him around a bit.
#41 – Wait
How could the time it took Cassandra to come to the door feel as long as his lifetime?
#42 – Talk
As his paws began to shake with palsy, he began to tell the newest generation about the heroes of his time – Deuteronomy, Munkustrap, Tugger… and the love story of Alonzo and Cassandra (with changed names so they wouldn’t laugh).
#43 – Search
Finding a replacement was harder than he thought.
#44 – Hope
Pouncival would make a fine leader, Alonzo decided, if he didn’t turn the tribe into a circus.
#45 – Eclipse
Cassandra loved watching eclipses, but Alonzo loved watching their reflection in her eyes.
#46 – Gravity
No matter how saggy he got, or how big his belly was, Cassandra claimed to ignore the effects of gravity on him; it was only fitting that he returned the favor.
#47 – Highway
She was old and slow, yes, but that was all the more reason for why those stupid humans should have braked.
#48 – Unknown
Every Jellicle ended up in the Heaviside Layer, and eventually got reborn, but as he watched her humans bury Cassandra, Alonzo wondered if that was true.
#49 – Lock
He was too old to enjoy the company of another queen, and even if he wasn’t, Cassandra had locked away his heart.
#50 – Breathe
He heard her laughter as he curled up by Etcetera’s newest kittens, baby-sitting them, and when he looked up, he saw Cassandra’s smile, and Alonzo forgot how to breathe for good.
For Sleeping Tiger!
