AN: Club!fic for bewarethesmirk, who incited this. My thanks to p_zeitgeist for betaing.

Flash

Glossy white lights flicker up through the wire-grate floor like the flash of cameras, sensations clear and fluid under the wash of music. He remembers the bar, downstairs, a mirrored surface under thick glass. Salt and tequila, which was a very good idea in fact, especially ( Read more... )

Colin's ear about being a lazy bastard who can't be bothered to shave

Can I just say this is *exactly* what I think of when I see Colin Morgan's non in character pictures? And also I kinda adore him for it?

There are so many things about Colin that shouldn't be appealing but, no, wait, totally are. Stubble is on that list.

And I sort of love how fandom has decided to have this huge collective crush on him.

You speak the truth. Also, the ears. WTF, how are those hot, but yet THEY ARE.

I mostly have this little crush on him, where I think that he's awesome and adorable, and I want to pat him on the head and maybe make out with him a little. The only reason I'm not completely head over heels with Colin is that what I feel for Bradley James is probably best be described as A GRAVE MENTAL AFFLICTION.

Oh god. The perverse and improbable hotness of his ears. They're sneaky. Their sexiness creeps in under the radar.

No, exactly. That--right there.

not completely head over heels with Colin is that what I feel for Bradley

But you know what is great? NOT HAVING TO CHOOSE.

Wow, I am a bad wonderful influence, or you're easily corrupted. ;-) Either way, I'm happy to have incited it.

I don't know if it's because I've been re-watching the GMTV interview a thousand times over and over, but I can totally feel this happening. The atmosphere is so vivid.

Colin's jacket is turned up! His skinny tie (does he own another one? *g*)! Stubble! (He's totally lazy.)

The flash of club lights like photographers catching something truly private, plastered up on sites to be gawked at by strangers.
Who might these deranged strangers be?

STUBBLE. SALT. TEQUILA. HOMG.

I love you so much. ♥

You are a wonderful bad influence. I never thought I could write club!fic.

Generally stubble doesn't do much for me, but there's something so adorable about how *consistently* lazy he is about it. And his modish skinny ties!

Who might these deranged strangers be

I HAVE NO IDEA.

I'm so very glad you liked it! *g*

I KNOW. Colin is totally not my type. At all. Yet I find him insanely adorable.

And now I'm obsessed with Bradley's hands. Argghh.

I know. Me neither. But irresistibly adorable all the same.

obsessed with Bradley's hands

You know what does not help? Wearing that silver ring. Gorgeous hands with a thumb ring will ping for me every single time.

And Bradley has some of the flirtiest, most open body language I've seen in a guy. Probably just in general, but I've only ever seen him with Colin. And that GMTV interview? Wow. Looking good.

Thank you! bewarethesmirk got me thinking about what I like in clubfic, and then it was just a short slippery slope to here. *g*
