prompting time

[slybrunette]

To celebrate my newfound freedom:

PROMPT ME:

fandom | pairing | song lyric

(Fandoms: Grey's Anatomy, The Big Bang Theory, Lost; also making exceptions for Dead Like Me, Oz, BSG)

Last time I got through the first half-dozen; this time it is my goal to surpass that.

And...go!

ETA: Prompting closed. Thanks for playing

Grey's Anatomy | Mark/Lexie | You can spend all your time making money, you can spend all your love making time

[slybrunette]

post holidaze.

(Love is not the issue.

Because, really, it never is, it’s just what people would like to believe the issue is. It makes it that much easier; it makes it less of a failure on your part, individually or as a whole, and turns it into something that’s just not meant to be. Like when the other person decides they never want to get married and crushes your dreams of fairytale weddings and ‘til death do you part and then you shrug it off and pack your things, and suddenly you never really loved them at all - for the record, she left that part of herself somewhere on the plane to Boston, to Harvard, years ago.)

“I don’t know what I’m doing wrong; I don’t even know how to do this.”

The remote’s within reach and she silently wishes she was the type to throw things. Instead, she lets her hand shake at her side.

(She’s not entirely convinced that Mark ever had that part in him to lose.)

“I see more of her than I do of you. And I know that you haven’t spent all that much time around her but she is really not the kind

[citron_presse]

”Lexie,” and in that moment she hates the way he says her name, like she should just melt at his tone. He isn’t going to finish it and she knows that; it’s just her name, desperate and just there, and he’s hoping maybe she’ll drop it entirely.

That (the whole fic actually) is such perfect, cynically-angsty, heartbreaking awesomeness that all I can do apparently in response is list words! I hope that will do. Plus . . . I ADORED this.

[slybrunette]

I really didn't mean to do angsty, I swear, but you know how the muse gets. So I just went with it.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I.

“More?”

“More.”

Meredith eyes him, slow, careful, hands wrapped around his glass and her own.

Cut off time is coming.

She still gets up, refill, and he’s lost count of the number of times she’s done that. They’ve been here awhile.

He still thinks of Izzie with every flash of blonde walking through the door.

II.There was one point where he considered doing a shot for every time Reed looked at him like she was actually being subtle

[archibalds]

OKAY? It's wonderful. Exactly what I had in mind with these two after the last episodes. The ending was beautifully constructed -- both heart-wrenching and real.

[slybrunette]

Aw yay! I'm actually totally relieved that you liked it. I've been struggling to write this A/I fic for like a week and it just wasn't working at all so I think maybe doing stuff like this will get the juices flowing maybe? IDK.

Anyway, I'm so glad you liked it hun! Thanks!

Re: At work, shirking my duties...

[slybrunette]

There was an old abandoned house, the shutters closed and cobwebbed and the grass too tall and a shade somewhere between healthy green and sunbaked brown, and this was somehow what they ended up calling home

Ooooooohh I LOVE THIS!
Gosh you're clever!
And this line

At night, the three of them fit together like puzzle pieces and Claire tried to shake off the feeling that she couldn’t quite see the big picture from down here.

Fabulous! Oh Claire.
Also, I love the imagery in this. I can totally picture the house and the hat and Sawyer's southern drawl! I love it :)

Re: At work, shirking my duties...

[slybrunette]

I'll take clever over so many other adjectives I've been practically shouting at myself while writing this. Thank you hun, because I seriously am way out of practice with Lost, and your feedback means a ton to me :) I'm glad you liked this!
