(more) five things
I'm still taking prompts here.
orange_crushed asked, Top five dreams that River has never shared, not even with Simon:
1. Sometimes, she thinks she sees God in her dreams. But she's never believed in deities, and Simon lost what little faith he had in his years ago. It must be because she is crazy.
2. When Simon can barely look at her - or brush up against her - the following day without blushing, heat blooming over his entire smooth, crinkled surface. She wants to tell him, I know, I was there too. But she doesn't.
3. She's a baby, and her mother is suffocating her under her stuffed dinosaur, and her father is somehow holding down all her hands and feet. She has four pairs of each.
4. The next time, she kills them first. She knows so many ways of doing it.
5. Matthias standing over her, she's still strapped into the chair, and that's hard, unbending reality, and this - Simon - the dream.
& Top five desserts you've ever eaten:
1. Normandy style apple crepe with brandy and caramel. (No cream or ice cream.) Crispy and delicious.
2. Pumpkin cake, Chinese style: deep-fried, glutinous, sweet.
3. Renee's homemade passionfruit ice cream.
4. My first affogato.
5. Miniature dumplings in sweet fermented glutinous rice.
& Top five textures, encountered in life:
1. Rough, heavy sandstone radiating heat from the sun.
2. Icy rain on shoulders whilst swimming, the water in the pool warmer than that falling from the sky.
3. The fur on Wolf's chest, thick and soft, good for burying your fingers up to the knuckles in.
4. Grapefuit pulp on your tongue, each grain silky like caviar, and bitter-sweet.
5. Any and every kind of parchment.
Top five fanfic pairings for any non-TV fandoms, dorukai wanted to know:
1. Lucifer/Mazikeen (have you looked at them?! HOT!)
2. Irene Adler/Lucas Corso (more fallen angel love!)
3. Sirius/Remus (their love is so tragic)
4. Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes (their love is so cerebral)
5. Leto/Ghanima (known-each-other-from-the-womb love)
