Drabble meme.

Jan 25, 2010 22:05

The first ten people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (Some other equivalent gift, like icons or sketches or mini-fanmixes or quickie meta, would make sense for people who don't write fic ( Read more... )

All right then. I can get behind this.

Let's go with Gino/whoever you want. Or anything with Gina Sophia.

(I nearly requested Leo fic, so.)

This is also not a drabble, but it's closer! sarcasticsra January 30 2010, 10:55:19 UTC

When Gina Sophia was five, she imagined falling in love would feel like finding out that magic was real; she thought there'd be fireworks, maybe a celebration, everything accompanied with the knowledge that anything was possible.

Then life happened. She struggled with herself. She got her heart broken. She began to wonder if falling in love would ever happen to her, and if it did, would it only be another disappointment? Would it turn out she was better off without it? Should she just give up and get out of the game while the getting was good? Maybe, she started to think, love was just another addition to a magician’s bag of tricks, an illusion to entrance for a little while, but nowhere near as impressive when one knew how things worked behind the scenes.

It wasn’t until she met Natalie that she realized she'd been right the first time.

If you have any random Fakenews meta thoughts lying around at all, please to be sharing them. :D

sarcasticsra January 26 2010, 03:31:53 UTC

Anything in particular that you want to hear about?

Well, thoughts involving "Stephen" are always nice, but really, if there's anything sitting up there in your brain, I would love to hear.

Okay, Thoughts about "Stephen'.

I think that, at his core, he needs someone to love him unconditionally, because that was never something he got from his parents. I do think he is fixable given the right amount of time and attention, and I think if he ever dropped his guard long enough, talk therapy especially could really help him. (I say this from experience.)

I think he stopped emotionally maturing around age 12. He's like a student BS-ing his way through school, except instead of school, he's doing it through life. He pretended and made things up well enough at every milestone, but he never really learned anything, so he's hopelessly underprepared to deal with things.

He's capable of being emotionally abusive (perhaps even physically, if he lashed out) but I also think that it's incredibly easy to manipulate him, and it would be incredibly easy for me to believe him getting into a relationship where he is the abused one ( ... )

I still crave l!Stephen =3

Note: not actually a drabble. sarcasticsra January 30 2010, 09:46:55 UTC

Have the beginning of the Neededverse ( ... )

Me! Corlionis, David finding out that Lucille's asexual.

sarcasticsra January 27 2010, 10:18:01 UTC

This also works for bingo, card one, prompt one: not quite + mom & dad + third gen + friendly chat + romance ( ... )

subluxate January 30 2010, 08:33:14 UTC

I love David with Lucille, and this is so thoroughly David. Poor Greg. I imagine he was warned, but knowing isn't the same as being pinned to the wall by a linebacker.

Josh/Sam, please!

And for my next trick, I will continue to blatantly disregard the definition of "drabble"! sarcasticsra January 30 2010, 08:51:28 UTC

The funny thing is that I was totally going to go with the fluffy prompt you gave me, and then you mentioned how frighteningly cute Sam looks when he's angsty, and this came out instead!

* * *

Sam’s phone feels heavy in his hands, and he shifts it back and forth between them, hesitating. Lisa’s message had been curt, to the point; Call me back, it’d said, three words in an unreadable tone, and he isn’t sure that means anything good.

Listening to it was the first thing to plant his feet back on the ground ever since he’d walked out of Gage Whitney and into Josh’s very wet arms, ready to follow him wherever the hell he led, all because of that terrible poker face. It hadn’t felt real, like an exciting dream he never wanted to wake up from. But now, oh now, sitting here in his and Josh’s shared hotel room in New Hampshire, everything feels real. Almost too real ( ... )

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH. EVERY WORD OF THIS IS AWESOME. In particular, this:

WOW. You better believe I will be nagging you to write more because this is so damn perfect. And the ending -- of course Sam would end up reassuring Josh against all reason, because he just can't help it. Also, on a shallow note, much yay for Josh in his underwear.
