(no subject)

[fahye]

While everyone in the US seems to be starting jobs this week (gainful employment! well done, folken!), I am wondering how long I can delude myself into forgetting that my major exams are less than a week away. OH, STUVAC. Such a deceptive dichotomy of laziness and panic.

I'm off to make myself a meal that by this point I do not think I can reasonably call breakfast, and then attempt to organise a semester's worth of assignments and lecture notes and lab handouts into a form that I can start to study from.

In the meantime, have a meme that (thankfully) has no chance of exploding into long crazy drabbles:

Name a pairing that I am familiar with, in a fandom I am familiar with, and I will write one line for that pairing and fandom.

And speaking of one-sentence fics, rawles has gone on a sublime spree of capslock with one-sentence fics/personal canon/hilarious reasons why characters suck. Contains spoilers for Heroes, BSG, PotC:AWE, The Office and Avatar, and is a wonderful mess of glee shot through with snarky rage.

*zen* My first major exam is tomorrow and my sleeping patterns are fucked up.

SHIVS. SNOW PATROL. AIS ARENA. SEP 10. Y/N?

And Tori Amos is playing at the Canberra Theatre on Sep 16, too. HURRAH MUSIC. I expect both tickets will be disgutingly expensive, but I am determined to go because I didn't get to see Missy Higgins.

NOW WITH 100% FEWER TYPOES

[memlu.livejournal.com]

I have three pairings I would love to see one-liners for!

1) Jack Havock/Myrtle Mumby.
2) Jack Havock/Myrtle Mumby.
3) Jack Havock/Myrtle Mumby.

♥♥♥

NOW WITH 100% FEWER RANDOM TENSE CHANGES

[fahye.livejournal.com]

The entirety of Larklight is a mess of planning and flowers and seating arrangements for far too many months, and Jack grows very grateful for his future brother-in-law's knack of steering them both away through the house's nooks and crannies bare minutes before a rash of wedding talk breaks out.

~

Later, Myrtle will be able to reel off expertly the number of things that went wrong during the wedding - beginning with the way Ssilissa's bridesmaid dress sustained several rips from the enthusiastic lashing of her tail, and ending with the bizarre scientific tangent that her father wandered down during his toast at the reception - but Jack won't be able to remember anything beyond the way she looked when she appeared at the other end of the aisle.

~

Jack has only managed to undo a third of the baffling amount of hooks and ribbons that comprise his new wife's wedding dress when Art's voice bawls something about spiders! and come quick!, accompanied by some frantic thumping on the door of the room, and Jack wonders exactly what he did to the universe to deserve this.

1. Geoffrey Tennant/Darren Nichols. You know you want to!

2. Ten/Martha.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

1. Darren visits the Theatre Sans Argent fully girded against the dull plebeian dust of the place, but after three days of exposure to the joyful enthusiasm of the actors, the cobbled-together sets that remind him of college, and Geoffrey's sparkling eyes, he finds his contempt sorely weakened.

2. Martha has never been satisfied with simply knowing about the existence of the Doctor's second heart: she longs to inject him with dyes, slow his perpetual motion for long enough to put him under a scanner, explore the functional anatomy of his commanding energy and put names to the muscles that create his smile.

BARBOSSA/ELIZABETH.

*fixes spelling*

[fahye.livejournal.com]

WHAT THE HELL.

~

Barbossa is one of the best weapons in Elizabeth's arsenal, and she soon perfects the exact mixture of flirtation and bribery required for him to sarcastically shout down any of the Brethren who question her authority.

Name a pairing that I am familiar with, in a fandom I am familiar with, and I will write one line for that pairing and fandom.

Pilots!

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Kara finds something very elegant in the way that Lee loses things, be they triad games, pyramid matches or races through a simulator; it makes her want to push him further, see how outrageously she can cheat, see what kind of things he really cares about losing.

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

(1) DOCTOR/TARDIS & WILL/FLYING DUTCMAN

(2) Will and Elizabeth

(3) JACK AND THE DOCTOR

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Re: (1) - AT THE SAME TIME? You freak.

~

(1) He had always thought that there wasn't a lot to beat it travels in time, but this tanned boy (something familiar about him - something to do with loss) stands with his hands caressing the wheel (and that's familiar too) and talks about travelling between life and death, and the Doctor aches with envy.

(2) Every time Elizabeth drew a sword or harshened her voice, she felt herself grow futher away from the girl that Will Turner fell in love with; she wonders sometimes if she wasn't testing the bounds of his acceptance, giving him excuses to leave, because she was just a little scared by the magnitude of what she saw when he looked at her.

(3) Martha admits to having a shameless fondness for reality television, and when she catches the expression of tight guilt on his face he lets her assume that it has something to do with Rose because it's easier than telling her about someone else who threw themselves away for his sake.

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

Firefly: Mal/Inara

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Inara quickly learns to associate each type of incense stick with the face Mal makes when he enters her shuttle, and then learns to exploit that knowledge: sandalwood when asking him a favour, musk if she wants her privacy, and jasmine for the unsteadiness of his breath and the millisecond of bare desire that enters his eyes.

[brynnmck.livejournal.com]

Since it should be fresh in your mind: Joe/Billy. (What? YOU KNEW IT WAS COMING.)

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Billy finds himself singing under his breath during Joe's shit-poor excuse for a funeral, some weird hybrid of a HCL song and a new set of riffs that's been running through his head, and he feels kinda bad about it until he decides that it's exactly what the asshole would have wanted.

[unravels.livejournal.com]

Memeness! Moriel/Lucifer. :D

[fahye.livejournal.com]

That icon never fails to render me exceedingly amused.

~

Lucifer recognises one of his own failings in the forcible urge he has to fight Moriel's battles for him - watching him argue vividly with Michael, for at this stage the dissent is no more than vocal - and another in the fact that it is, inevitably, his battle that is being fought.

[genarti]

Oh, man, I love ALL of these.

Jack Harkness and the Doctor, - or / or ambiguity as you like.

Carlotta/Piangi.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Gen, you weirdo.

~

Jack cannot enjoy his memories of the Doctor for the taint that has been left on them; curiosity has given way to the frustration that it was never satisfied, and his stubborn love is dark with abandonment.

~

Carlotta is nowhere near as blind to the falseness of the flattery that surrounds her as everyone thinks she is, and she adores Piangi for the way he bows and praises her and means every single word.

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

JACK AND MARTHA

[fahye.livejournal.com]

It occurs to Martha that she should be even more jealous of that hungry spark in the Doctor's eye when it is directed at a living human and not a fond memory, but God damn this Harkness fellow is so hot that she's having trouble moving past the fit of lust on her way to the planned sulking fit.

[pirateygoodness.livejournal.com]

Assuming you know Grey's well enough to write it? Izzie/Meredith.

Otherwise, Kara/Anders.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

LET'S DO BOTH!

~

Izzie's coping mechanism is to bake and Meredith's is to drink too much, so after an extensive argument they combine forces and show up at Cristina's door with a chocolate cake soaked in rum, an Alanis Morissette CD, and matching smears of icing on their lips that make Cristina roll her eyes.

~

Sam hears of his wife's return and the hollow agony gives way to the knowledge that there is one model left, just one, and she has died and come back and maybe he won't have to give her up after all.

[agonistes]

*shameless* Adama/Roslin.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

The first day of their second month on Earth, she is awakened by his voice on her answering machine, teasing her out of bed; she laughs and is about to throw back the covers when his voice continues past the daily greeting, slow and awkward, saying I thought we could go looking for a cabin, today.

[littledust.livejournal.com]

Doctor/Rose!
Buffy/Faith!
Jack/Will/Elizabeth!

:D

Apparently I am keen on weddings today?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

After being assured that any civil unions taking place outside of the Milky Way have no legal standing upon Earth (according to some subheading of some edict that the Doctor takes great pleasure in reading aloud from a giant, leather-bound book), Rose is more than happy to visit Hee'ex IV; the mandatory marriage ceremony is a small price to pay for the really fantastic shopping.

~

The night before Dawn gets married, Faith catches the wild insecurity in Buffy's eyes and drags her to a bar where, after three tequila shots in quick succession, the blonde Slayer has moved past both the urge to terrorise the groom-to-be and angst over her own unwed status, and is very amenable to the distraction of Faith's hand in her back pocket, Faith's mouth whispering secrets against her own.

~

Jack puts on a show of great affront upon hearing that he missed their wedding, and insists - drinks all round! - on kissing first the bride and then the groom with rum-soaked enthusiasm.

[skygiants]

YOU ALREADY WROTE AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME JACK/MYRTLE SO I CANNOT ASK FOR IT. DAMMIT.

However, I can ask for: Howl/Sophie!

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I CAN ALWAYS WRITE MORE JACK/MYRTLE. ALWAYS!

Wait, am I supposed to be helpful?! 1AM, FAYHE!!

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Roger/Thom.

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

Since you said we could request more: Toby/Pam, Buffy/Giles, Rose/Mickey. Pick one or do them all, makes no nevermind to me!

You did ask for more! :D

Kelsey, you freak. *cracks up* You realise that you have to do every single one of mine, now.

By Captain Jack/Captain Jack, do you mean bisexual conman/his namesake? (PLEASE MEAN THAT.)

[ashen_key]

Lucifer/Delia
Arthur/Morgan
Simon/River
Tybalt/Lady Capulet
Ray Elwood/Robyn

That enough?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how happy I am at that last one.

[agonistes]

...three from left field.

Giles/Angela Petrelli
Kaylee/Lucifer
Kaylee/Jubal Early

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Aye to the latter two, but I've only seen three episodes of Heroes, so I'm not going to try the first.

[not-in-denial.livejournal.com]

Finding matching fandom interests with my friends these days is harder than it used to be :o

Inara/Kaylee, Angel/Spike, and JD/Turk (which I totally do not ship in srsland, so response must be comedic plz). And wow I managed to have no het in there at all. Must fix that. Ummmmm... Simon/River. Oh snap, my normal couple is incestuous. I fail at normal.

[sophistry]

Oh god, you should not have encouraged us so repeatedly to ask for more. My love for pirates is uncontrollable. Elizabeth/Jack, Jack/Barbossa, Barbossa/Pearl, Elizabeth/piracy.

[sophistry]

askj;a Lucifer/Crowley. My secret morbid fascination.

More!

[unravels.livejournal.com]
