True story: I would probably be spamming you with Harry/Ruth YT clips, since that's the mood I'm in.

GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO THIS AFTERNOON, INTERNET:

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of ANY pairing/character of their choosing (of ANY fandom) from me (with a prompt? maybe? sincerely, me). In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. THAT'S A STUPID CAVEAT.
Let's test ( Read more... )

i'm stuck with a valuable friend; A2A, Alex/Gene, Sam, the Quattro daygloparker May 7 2009, 17:17:56 UTC

At first, it's a trick of light - a face among faces waiting on a street corner. The mind, she reasons, can only invent so much. She figures at some point she'll start seeing her primary school teachers in flower shops, and old university classmates on the Tube. These things are inevitable; the realities of a living in an unreal world.

But then Gene starts seeing it, too.

It's a slap in the face, really, the way his whole body goes rigid as they're walking to the car, him tugging at her arm to stop moving like she's a child running into a crowded street. Time, whatever that is, stops. Her throat gets dry. Her ears plug up; everything is muffled, quiet, nothing important. Almost belatedly, her skin prickles.

SamShe thinks maybe Gene says his name, but she's not sure. Sounds bounce around her brain like the perfect explanation. It's the sound of relief, of something slotting into place and yet scattering all the pieces ( ... )

...I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I CAN ADEQUATELY EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS. EXCEPT TO SAY:

HOLY.

FUCKING.

SHIT.

YES.

(Seriously, way to give me a truly epic number of ideas for your prompt. Ashes to Ashes, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY BRAIN?)

I had to edit it HARDCORE, too, because of LJ's lame ~4300 character limit~.

YAY.

I WANT THIS TO BE REAL, BY THE WAY.

ok, ok, ok, OH MY GOD.

ok.

i sort of fell sideways into your journal, through pieces and her lynley love, and i followed your quattro'd icon and i'm really glad i did, because OH MY GOD. ghost-angel-sam and nihilistic alex and genegenegene.

i'm gonna have to add you in case of more fic (also: bones! pretender!) but feel no compulsion to reciprocate.

daygloparker June 26 2009, 02:07:04 UTC

(If you are so interested, the wonderful grenadine wrote a lovely amazing sequel to this small dose of crack, FYI. IT IS GREAT.)

OKAY. HI. I definitely don't think I can promise Pretender, eponymous LJ name aside (oh, seven years ago, you) (you never know! but yeah), BUT I CAN promise more, much more Bones. *stares at open GoogleDocs document* Um, yes.

theonlytwin June 26 2009, 03:12:43 UTC

thank you for the rec!

yeah, no, i get 7 years ago love for a particular fandom. (i only just got a random flashback to pretender when watching leverage and deciding that parker was obviously debbie broots.) but bones! yay!

theonlytwin June 26 2009, 14:33:14 UTC

um.

i think i wrote fanfic for your fanfic. rumours that are completely unsubstantiated.

*scurries away*

He fixes her with a look she can't read, then exhales. "'Hope you're happy, too.'

Oh, that's fucking awesome.

Only half way through the 2nd season but I had to have FIC!!! And this was a rec. Comment fic too! Awesome again!

daygloparker July 21 2009, 15:11:18 UTC

eeeeee! I'm glad you liked it. HAVE YOU READ THE OTHER TWO?! Crack idea is crack.

mandysbitch July 23 2009, 03:24:37 UTC

They are definitely on my reading list. :)

Re: i'm stuck with a valuable friend; A2A, Alex/Gene, Sam, the Quattro ladyfiresprite August 25 2009, 22:24:39 UTC

BEAUTIFUL! Just lovely. It's haunting and gorgeous and spot-on with characterization. Thanks for a great fic! :D

I am quite late to the party, but the inside of your Alex Drake's head made me incoherent with how right it is. Having Sam there-not-there and the way she clings to Gene, who is the only real-unreal thing in sight--this is gorgeous.
