Fic Meme

[alterai]

Stolen from inlaterdays :P

The meme:
1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a ficlet of fifteen words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

Uh, I gave up on max. word length. But I tried. Really.

The victims:

1. Cole Turner (Charmed) [x]
2. River Tam (Firefly) [x]
3. Jack Gallagher (Mental) [x]
4. Alex Krycek (X-Files) [x]
5. Draco Malfoy (Harry Potter) [x]
6. Methos (Highlander) [x]
7. F'lar (Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffery) [x] [x]
8. Serena van der Woodsen (Gossip Girl) [x]
9. Mike Delfino (Desperate Housewives) [x] [x]
10. Fox Mulder (X-Files) [x]

First time, 3 and 7 (Jack and F'lar)
Jack tried to back away only to be trapped between the bronze rider's strong arms.
F'lar leaned in and purred, "Now c'mon, Doc, don't be shy."
Behind them, Mnementh thumped his tail lazily in the sand, jeweled eyes glowing happily in the darkness of the cavern.

Angst, 2 (River)
She stared down sadly at the table, lips quivering. The rest of the Serenity crew watched her with concern.
Voice gone soft with anguish, River finally whispered, "No...more...dessert?"

AU, 1 and 9 (Cole and Mike)
“You can’t let her get away, you know.”
“I know.”
“She’s not going to wait around forever, Mike.”
“I know, okay? I know.”
“Look man, if you love her - and I speak from personal experience - you’ve gotta --"
“Argh! Cole, damn it. Shut up or I’ll sic Bongo on you.”
“But --"
Mike growled at him and walked out of the door, slamming it shut behind him.
Smirking, Cole settled down on the couch, one hand scratching Bongo behind the ears while he made sure he had a good view of the window to watch as Mike stalked across the street to Susan Mayer’s house.

Threesome, 8, 4 and 10 (Serena, Krycek, and Mulder)
"Krycek! What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
"...shopping, Mulder. Is that a crime?" The assassin grinned muzzily at him.
Serena giggled and pulled a bag-laden Krycek away, leaving Mulder to stare bewilderingly after the pair.

Hurt/Comfort, 3 and 6 (Jack and Methos)
"Ow...owww…ouch! Jack!"
"There." Jack pulled out the last of the glass shards and watched with satisfaction as blue lightning flickered over the healing wounds.
Methos glared at him half-heartedly. "Sadist."
Chuckling, Jack pulled the Immortal into his arms and planted a kiss on pliant lips, murmuring, "Next time, get a broom and sweep them up, okay?"

Crack, 2 (River)
Mal barely had time to duck as River swung over the cargo bay on a long rope, yelling wildly and thumping her chest. Scrambling for cover behind some crates, he caught sight of her brother.
“Gorramit! What’s she doin’?!” Mal whispered hotly to Simon.
Simon just shrugged helplessly and continued to watch his sister with a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Somewhere from the back of the ship came strains of music as speakers blasted Phil Colin’s “You’ll be in My Heart.”

Horror, 5 (Draco)
Blood. So much blood everywhere. He swallowed and tasted bile at the back of his throat.
Stumbling, the smoke burning his throat and making his lungs ache, Draco made his way through the ruins and finally fell to his hands and knees beside a flash of scarlet and gold. Gryffindor crest. Something hard dug into his palm and he brought his hand close to his face, strained to see the object through smoke-blurred eyes. The pair of thin, black-rimmed glasses lying broken in his upturned palm was bent in several places with a long crack running through one lens.

Baby fic, 1 and 2 (Cole and River)
“Source,” she declared firmly, watching the baby.
“No, he is not.”
“Demon.”
“No, River.”
River narrowed her eyes accusingly. “Yes.”
Cole frowned at her, and the baby took advantage of the momentary distraction to orb the bowl of baby food from Cole’s hand to his head, upturned. Spluttering, Cole wiped away at the gooey mess to find a laughing River.
She smiled sweetly at him, “You were.”

Dark, 8 and 3 (Serena and Jack)
“Nooo!” She screamed and shoved him away.
Jack caught her flailing arms and pushed her back firmly against the wall.
“Serena.”
All of a sudden she sobbed and the fight went out of her as she slumped in his grasp.
Jack looked over his shoulder at the large observation window on the opposite wall, worried glance not penetrating the one-way glass but knowing an anxious Dan waited behind the partition.

Romance, 5 and 8 (Draco and Serena) [Mulder and Krycek]
Draco brushed a stray lock of hair away from Serena’s face, his face lit up with a serene smile. He curled his finger around a loose curl and tugged at it playfully before he looped his arm around her shoulders. She laughed and leaned into his embrace.
In a coffee shop across the street
“God, Mulder. Look at them. Look at their hair. A matching pair.” Krycek snorted.
Mulder’s only response was to grin and bring his hand to Krycek’s chin, tugged at it to bring Alex’s attention back to him.
“Muuld-“ Mulder cut off the beginning of a whining drawl by leaning forward for a sweet kiss.
“Mmm, yes. Do that again.” Alex’s warm lips were parted underneath his in a teasing smile.
So he did.

Okay, so I sorta cheated on the last one, but whatever :) That was so much fun! Thanks, Lid! *g*
