A rush, a turn, and then she spun into thin air. Nothing below her, and for a few precious seconds, she was flying.
And then, strong arms reaching out - always waiting, even when she couldn't see - and with a sudden jerk, she was anchored.
They swayed together above the blur of faces, and she thought sometimes that the seconds where she was held suspended in the air, that was serenity.
Somewhere below, she could feel a heartbeat - one that could have been theirs. But as Simon pivoted at an impossible angle, his eyes focused only on their safety, she reached out again, knowing that she would never fall, but she would never swim in the stars.
it's not the full Flying Tams that I really want, but it is a glimpse in. I mean, how would I even go about describing how it happened? Really, because my sideways brain, would anyone else even THINK of Simon joining the circus?
....Charlie Wesley. Awesome! And tragic! All at the same time!
My brain is now trying to fit as many puns into a few sentences as possible of Jayne and River snarking at each other. Starting with "certifiable" and getting worse from there. Sadly, no actually fic to go with.
I can see them in a pet store. Jayne getting progressively more bad tempered, as he's been put to crazy-sit, and she wants to cuddle things and discuss their lives and personalities. And then she's released all the feeder mice and he has a bird in his hair, and somehow in the chaos of him trying to get her back to the ship without getting arrested for her disturbing the peace with her yelling about freedom or whatever, she's shoved a guinea pig down her shirt, and man, is Mal gonna be pissed.
::snerk:: This pet store image is most wondermous!
I have been writing nonstop Inception fic for the past two weeks. I need to write something different. I may have something for one of your prompts. And no, not rushing at them. Just want to write more stuff. :D
..and no. as it's not what i want. although the mental of Ohno coming up with bizarre ideas and Sho tearing his hair out trying to figure out how to make it happen amuses me.
dude, i love random people off the internet. and thank you, it's a very high stress job, and i keep telling my husband to knock me up again already so i can go on disability and stay home and still get paid. it's the perfect solution! ..except for the neverending seasickness, the swelling, the hormonal surges, the inexplicable crying...
...maybe i should rethink this plan.
OMG YES. I want all three of them! i want there to be banter! i want Matsujun to make a cameo!
I guess I should say I'm grateful that my job isn't *that* bad (yet, oh god) but I really, really, really do understand. As you probably know based upon the hours and hours of whining you had to listen to in Kotlik.
The thing is, I can think of a number of things that I would enjoy doing but since the utility company and condo association refuse to work on the barter system, I'm pretty well fucked. Meh. I start next week and the tension headaches have already started. I see all these teachers who are all excited and bouncy about the new school year starting and I'm torn between seething envy and red-eyed hatred.
oh, i know you do. and i know mostly this is just beginning of the year stress coupled with the back to school stress PLUS the fact i hate my job, so really, ill be fine! if by "fine" you mean "medicated" and I do.
what would you rather be doing? where are your llamas?
and yeah, i read on facebook some mess somebody posted about teachers who didnt consider their job a "passion" should rethink their career choices and I had to go into the other room and have a hysterical fit for a moment to keep myself from answering anything i might possibly regret.

And ugh. Double ugh. Triple ugh.
And considering I ate a jar of pickles last week out of stress...

There's a guy in my orientation group whose name is Charlie Wesley. But he has brown hair. I feel bad for him.

I wish I had some words of wisdom, love.
...I know it's not Firefly or fic...
but how about Arashi working at Lush? The store or, even better... the design floor.

So here's a link to cheer you up: (if you haven't already heard about it, that is) Oguri Shun and Inoue Mao are co-starring in a new drama series. They are joined by Hiroki Narimiya. Apparently Shun is playing the title role, a "foul-mouthed, stingy, but skilled veterinarian." There will be love triangles. I may be slightly excited. oh god, the hotness of those three combined will kill us all. o_o At least we will die happy?
