So I'm posting a few GK drabbles/ficlets here for my own archiving purposes-I completely forgot I'd written one of these ^^;;

Just what I needed to read! I love how all-encompassing each of these ficlets are. That is, it seems like they're all well-defined and have a full close. Nice work!

* I love Nate and Ray interactions, even gen ;) And I love it when Ray is recognized for how awesome he is.

* Can there be any doubt that this one is my favorite of all of them? I can't help it. They're sleeping. I LOVE them sleeping. I love Ray thinking about them sleeping, about the cuddling, about how sometimes it's necessary (which was such a lovely line -- defiant about his self-labeling as a cuddler and his belief in the need of cuddling sometimes)

* LOL at Nate's dry comment: "I'm ecstatic." I love deadpan-delivery!Nate.

* And, uh -- I LOVE the Brad/Ray one. LOVELOVE. Ray's curiosity about Brad's apparent fetish with tattoos, the way you described Brad's touch there, was lovely. Also, I'd love an ENTIRE FIC about how Brad is not actually super effing gorgeous, but perhaps distant enough that people can't get over their awkwardness even with Brad the Sex God within reach. This is brought on by your oh-so-awesomly insightful bit:

“That is the worst fucking line you've ever used with me. How the fuck did you ever manage to get laid before me?”
Brad shrugs one shoulder. “Whores,” he says simply

And then, of course, the following paragraph was GORgeously written.

I love when writers compile tidbits! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you so much for all the awesome comments! And hmmmm for the Brad!fic idea, that sounds interesting. I might have to poke at that for a little bit :P

[meeks00]

Bahahaha! Yay! I just love the idea of that. He doesn't talk too much and seems like he's a very intimidating figure. I wonder if chicks would see him and WAAAANT him, approach with that strutting kind of feminine walk, and he'd just cut a grinat them. Then they'd say something like, "Hey, is this seat taken?" or "Want to buy me a drink?" And he'd shrug to both, but if one of them happens to be lucky, he'd just raise a finger for another beer (not asking what they'd like, because if they didn't want a beer, he'd lose interest because of the prissy drink).

So the lucky girls would get a drink, yes? And she'd sip one, and then she'd start chatting, but then she'd think, "Oh god. Why is he just staring? Why isn't he replying to my small talk? This is NOT how this is supposed to GO."

And Brad would just slowly drink his beer, not phased at all as they flounder over him, but then he wouldn't get laid either b/c he'd unwittingly scare them off by saying things like, "Don't insult me," when they ask if he's an "Army man." ;)

Silly Brad. But then your Ray comes along with his swagger, knowing how to read Brad and all that and <3. Good times ensue.

Uh. Here's another novel comment for you? :)

[kali1967]

OMG I think I love you for this comment! It's just so perfect and I can see it all happening in my head-no seriously, in my head the bar's kinda lit red/orangey for some reason-and it's all awesome! Poor Brad and his lack of/disinterest in social skills :P

[meeks00]

♥ -- You should write it. Yes PLEASE. I want to see what YOU see.

Yes to indifferent!Brad. He's disinterested until Ray comes along, and then Brad apparently drops that and it's overwhelming. But not for Ray-Ray, who is like bottled up SUNSHINE-ENERGY(c), which is why his food can't stay in his mouth and spills all over the place. So Ray apparently is the only one who can handle it, eh?

[kali1967]

*sighs* I can never resist peer pressure. I've started it, but I make no promises and I might have to poke you for help once or twice :D

[meeks00]

LOL I like to think there is good peer pressure and bad peer pressure, but really, it's all relative. Of course I think pressuring other people to write more fics is a good thing. Of course I am entirely, and shamelessly, selfish. ;)

I am here at your beck and call, dear! On Twitter, via e-mail or whatever venue. Chatting about this stuff is FUN. Good luck!

[kali1967]

Dude, Brad's turned into an asshole! He's taking unapproachable to a whole new level. Like, these are his three big sentences:

Brad snorts, throws a glance at her that's more of a glare. “Don't fucking insult me. I'm a Marine.”

“We're defending the fucking country-you think we learn how to knit and sing songs?”

“Do you want to fuck or not?”

I didn't mean for him to be so mean! But at least Ray won't be put off by his asshole-ness? *worries*

[meeks00]

HAHAHAHA I love a-holes. Well, character a-holes. They're the BEST.

WHEEEE. YAY for the power of RAY. I think it'll work out well, bb!

[kali1967]

Eee, I'm really hoping it works out well-I don't want to break them both again ^^;;

Btw, just realised I never actually introduced myself to you, just sort of friended you randomly, so-hi, I'm Kali ^_^

[meeks00]

I can't WAIT to read your Brad/Ray! I was talking about it with l_s_d_me. We chat about important things like LJ and fics and such while at work. Helps with productivity, you see.

LOL! ::waves:: Hi, Kali! I'm Mika ;) Yay for friending!

[kali1967]

Lol, that's so cool, I have no fangirls at work (my (male) manager actually likes Twilight, ugh), so I just sit there writting porn in my notebook :P

*waves* Hii!

[meeks00]

Oh haha! We don't work together -- are sadly states apart ;)

Twilight? Shudders.

Yay for the porn notebook! LOL Props to you and the others who can write in those. I've never been able to do it. I can't read my handwriting when I do because I can't get the words down quickly enough, and then I forget what I was writing. Also, I can't retract or rephrase. How do you do it?

[kali1967]

Lol, my handwriting is atrocious-sometimes even I can't read it well, but I've had years of practise at deciphering it so I can usually guess what the squiggles are meant to be :P
