These are all lovely, and have the spark that makes a drabble zing :-) The angst of the first feels like what Bill must have gone through every night during the occupation. The 2nd...ouch. I hurt with Laura here. You nailed the exhaustion she would have been feeling at this point, and his awareness of it is perfectly Bill.
The playfulness of the 3rd is awesome :-) And I kind of love the idea of Husker and the Viper pilot groupies, and this little possible peek into Laura's younger days!
The progression of their relationship as shown in ladder clumsiness is wonderful, and poignant when she thinks how long it's been since someone held her.
And the last :-) Last line is perfect, and the part about annoyed or relieved that she's wearing pants is such a "guy" thing!
A great set of drabbles--you really have a strong grip on this format! Bravo :-)
