Drabble: Beer Goggles Screw You Over in Ways You Never Wanted... timelord_sammy October 8 2011, 01:40:28 UTC

A night of debauchery followed after a big win for CID. Of course Tyler left early, even before Cartwright. The night got better when a hot bird joined him at the counter, though she did laugh derisively when he gave her the Gene Genie treatment. He followed her anyway.

The feeling of two warm bodies either side of him broke through the hangover-haze. “Mornin’, sunshine.” Gene groaned at Phyllis’ unmistakable voice. Cracking his eyes open, he noticed her blind lover was lying next to her. But then who...

His eyes opened wide when he heard a bark next to him.

Drabble: Dogfight (I seem to be in a canine mood) timelord_sammy October 8 2011, 01:55:51 UTC

Sam had to break up another fight between his own DCI and DCI Litton, who was shouting “You and your lot are dogs, Hunt! Mutts that should be put down!” Before Gene could start barking, Sam shoved him back to the office and had to leave him with a bottle of scotch.

In the morning, Sam found Gene on the couch, but looked away with a cough and hidden blush when he noticed Gene’s pants were missing.

“What did you do?” Sam asked.

“Seemed like a good idea at the time...”

A scream came from RCS.

“... Marking my territory.”

Drabble: The Confession timelord_sammy October 8 2011, 02:08:54 UTC

It had seemed like a good idea at the time, getting Sam drunk and willing. It was funny and surprising to note that he was a bit of a happy drunk, giggling away at whatever was told to him. Not exactly part of the plan, but workable. It made him agreeable after all. Not that rape was part of the plan either, no, more like a ... confession. The truth.

“Do you really like me, Sammy?” This was it.

Sam hiccupped “I love you, man...”

“... Woman.”

“Mhmmmm...”

It would have to do, Annie sighed as she patted Sam’s head.

Drabble: Hangover thesmallhobbit October 8 2011, 09:51:38 UTC

Sam stared morosely into the mug of coffee he had before him. His head felt as if it was hosting the Edinburgh military tattoo, whilst the rest of his body ached in sympathy. He vaguely remembered Ray and Chris dumping him on his bed last night, but he had no idea how they’d got him home.

Suddenly Gene thumped him on the back and he moaned in response.

“Nice one, Tyler. But tell me, what persuaded you to challenge Litton’s new DI to a drinking contest?”

Sam groaned. “I don’t know, Guv. It seemed a good idea at the time.”

Re: Drabble: Hangover talkingtothesky October 8 2011, 18:27:26 UTC

Bwhahaha, poor Sammy! :D This made me smile.

Re: Drabble: Hangover thesmallhobbit October 8 2011, 20:10:40 UTC

Thank you

Re: Drabble: Hangover basaltgrrl October 8 2011, 20:49:32 UTC

I picture Sam having a lot of hangovers in 1973, poor dear.

Drabble: Party Seven basaltgrrl October 8 2011, 14:17:47 UTC

The firm thunk of two screwdrivers puncturing the tin was followed immediately by a forceful spray of beer. Sam met Gene’s broad grin with his own, blinking through the drips from his eyebrows.

“First pint goes to Tyler,” Gene announced, grabbing a glass and filling it generously.

Sam choked on the first mouthful, gagging on the metallic aftertaste.
“Didn’t think the chosen vintage of CID would be quite so… fullbodied,” he gasped. He’d had worse, in his time, but this was pretty horrible.

“It gets better once you’re into the second tin,” Gene assured him, and tossed back his own.

Re: Drabble: Party Seven talkingtothesky October 8 2011, 18:25:11 UTC

You are so bloody good at this. I can hear the dialogue crystal clearly, and Gene's understated ways of showing affection (broad grin, pouring to Sam first) feel so absolutely in-character. Really enjoyable drabble, thank you. <3

Re: Drabble: Party Seven timelord_sammy October 14 2011, 12:47:58 UTC

Very fun drabble, very in character. Nice one
