me and my crazy brain

May 11, 2009 10:32

So my writing prompt community is still trucking along, mainly because I promised myself I would not skip a day under any circumstances (over 100 followers! I'm excited). I have cut it close a few times when I've gotten busy and forgotten, and I've had to scrape the bottom of the prompt barrel more than once, but I'm still doing it, and it's ( Read more... )

Eee! I love it. Since it would be set in the 70s, Nick could wear his porn 'stache without shame. I LOVE IT. Somebody could drive an El Camino. Would it be one of those, 'uh oh, we're both guys, oh well, how bad can it be' kind of scenarios, or would it be a gay key party?

If it's a man/lady key party, somebody could grab Super!Dave's keys and put them in the bowl and, after he strokes out, because this is inSANE, he could wind up meeting Mrs. Dave.

...who, of course, he doesn't sleep with, because that's just not his style, but he does spend the whole night talking to her, because she's cute and very sweet, of course. Just like Dave.

An El Camino AND the pornstache? I think I just died and went to a very, very happy place. Oh, man. Greg would be all, "Well, the 'stache is a little much, but the rest of him sure as hell makes up for it." And then he'd sort of dig the feeling of it against his skin, right above his hip bones where he's most sensitive, just for novelty's sake. But he wouldn't complain when Nick shaved it off, either, because hello, he looks a lot better without it. But what he will never, ever get tired of is making out in the front seat of the El Camino.

Aw, SuperDave. You are SuperAwesome, with your shyness and Mrs. Dave, who was trying to get a little wild by going to a key party, but ended up meeting the nicest, kinda nerdy little man, and they spend evenings curled up on the couch watching original Star Trek (obv.) and being geeks together. So sweet.

I'm thinking they could make out in the back of the El Camino, out in the desert under the stars. Nick brings a blanket and it's kind of romantic and something that Nick would want to do even if it at first Greg thinks it's kind of ridiculous.

Super and Mrs. Dave! Geeking out and watching television!

carolinecrane May 11 2009, 21:21:31 UTC

Aw, looking up at the stars and being boring and romantic is TOTALLY Nick. So of course I LOVE IT LIKE BURNING. The things Greg puts up with for his hot, hot man :)

Nick KNEW he shouldn't be there. Mandy had insistedinsistedinsisted until he'd finally given in. He'd been too tired, too hurt after the death...the WASTE of the whole damn day. He should be home trying to sleep it away instead of mingling with a bunch of singles from work.

"Hey, Nick!" Mandy bubbled happily. "You're here!" She had the nerve to look surprised. "Hand me your keys, big guy." She held her hand out, sure of his obedience.

"Keys?" Too tired to be here! "I'm not planning on drinking."

Why was that girl laughing again? Too tired.

carolinecrane May 11 2009, 16:09:43 UTC

Mandy! I'm shocked, I tell you. She always seems so no-nonsense. But I am going to imagine that Greg put her and Wendy up to it, and Wendy participated with glee, but made Mandy do the dirty work because Nick is least suspicious of her. And then I also get to imagine Mandy/Wendy. Mmm...girlslash.

rabidfan May 11 2009, 16:31:07 UTC

See, Greg and Wendy know that Mandy has Nick by the scruff. She made him sing BARRY MANILOW, for heavens sake. Greg couldn't even get him to sing "Happy Birthday" for Bob-the-Fern when they'd managed not to kill him for a whole year. So it had to be Mandy. No one else could even get him in the door.

carolinecrane May 11 2009, 16:40:02 UTC

Wait, he sang Barry? Is this canonical? Because if it is, I'm going to have to track down the episode.

omfg, I would so love to read that!

I know, right? My fondness for the idea is growing as the afternoon wears on.

"-What do dentists have to do with anything? What, did you get more silver fillings put in again? You *know* how long my tongue took to heal up last time, guy."

Merton looked simultaneously annoyed and embarrassed. "Not dentists, Tommy. Dentisorichalcumophobia. It's a fear of..."

"-Big words?"

"Keys."

Tommy's eyebrows practically leaped into his hairline. "-How did you develop a crippling fear ok *keys*, Merton? What, did T and T key your hearse or something?"

"No! Well, okay several times actually, but that's not it. I was at a Key party. Excessive amounts of alcohol may or may not have been involved. I was just looking for a ride home, and instead I found myself sharing a cheap motel room with...Butch."

carolinecrane May 11 2009, 16:14:54 UTC

Oh no! Poor Merton. No wonder he's so afraid of Butch. Ha, this is awesome. I think a key party non-meme is the best idea I've ever had!

wirrrn May 11 2009, 16:55:53 UTC

Heh. Thanks! It kind of alarms me how easy it is form me to channel Merton *g*.

I was delighted to find there is an actual Phobia of Keys. How would the sufferers ever get into their houses?!

carolinecrane May 11 2009, 16:57:09 UTC

I suppose the garage door opener would become your best friend.

It hadn't really been a key party. It had been more of a "see who gets stuck rooming with Ira this semester" party, but when Avery pulled out Brett's key, he beamed with such joy that Brett had to sit up and take notice. And later, when they were in their room, Brett had to needle him about it, just a little, because that's who Brett IS. But then Avery will blush, and Brett will smirk and crowd him a little bit, and they'll end up making out on the bed, maybe even before they put sheets on it.

Will thought he was going to Magenta's house to drink, but Layla had been giggling and blushing since she told him about the party, and the whole "key" thing hadn't come up. They even said he was too boring, which of course meant that he was going to act out to prove them all wrong. He's not sure how he ended up going home with Warren, since Warren came by himself and Will's key had been in the bowl, but it was too hard to think at all with Warren's tongue in his mouth and his hot hands roaming all over his writhing body.

carolinecrane May 11 2009, 18:43:41 UTC

Ha! I was trying to figure out how to make this concept work in the Suicide Kings universe, and then you went and did it! And it was really clever! Thanks :)

And oh, Will. You are such a doofus. It's a good thing Warren can get past it, because otherwise I think you would be out of luck.

moonsong42 May 11 2009, 18:53:05 UTC

Yeah, I almost wrote Brett's sarcastic exchange, but I've read your "Suicide Kings in school" fics so often that I'd probably have done the "unconscious copying" thing with the dialogue. It really just boils down to snark, blush, crowd, make-out here anyway.

I wanted to touch a few more fandoms, but I couldn't figure out how to get the Bash Brothers into it (never mind, had a quick brain flash), and couldn't wrap my brain around how to get people already rooming together (The Pact) or not really seeing anyone (My Bodyguard) to interact with a key party.

moonsong42 May 11 2009, 19:05:20 UTC

After they won the Junior Goodwill Games, the team had a big party to celebrate. Someone decided it would be funny to dump their keys in a bowl, and figure out who got to room together afterwards. Nobody made Connie or Julie do it, though, since this was a Disney film, and it just wouldn't be "right." Charlie ended up having to deal with Goldberg's snoring, Lester and Guy would have to coexist somehow, and Portman? He was going to have to spend his last night in LA keeping his hands to himself. The Bash Brothers had finally clicked off the ice, and Portman didn't want to ruin the best friendship he'd ever had by making a pass at him ( ... )
