Saving my sanity

[cornerofmadness]

No Yim and stuck here with the parental units for a week, there's not enough meditative chants to get me through. But given how the last three hours went, i need a distraction. Anyone out there wanna write me a little drabbly thing to keep me sane, you will be loved. You know what I like.

but not ALL has been bad. Witness my convo with Mom
Me - WTH Dr. WHo isn't on?
Mom - look on Sci-Fi
Me - where else WOULD i look mom. I know it's not DONE yet. eppy 12 has a naked Captain Jack. I haven't seen that yet.
Mom - well who would want to?
Me - Mom, NOT the Doctor! Captain Jack!
Mom - Oh? OH! Oh well damn why isn't on? I want to see that, so long as it isn't the Doctor. WHo wants to see that elephant eared man naked?
Me - well maybe if IT'S as big as his nose and ears....
Mom - that wouldn't be bad.

then the conversation degenerated thanks to us finding How WIlliam Shatner Changed the World to 'why is Shatner getting all Roddenberry's thunder' and 'is George Takai gay?'

Drabbley things, huh?

246 words. More like a flashfic. My experiment in writing without proper names. I think you'll be able to guess the 'verse and incarnation from various clues.

Afternoon Dreams

The room was quiet, hushed with contentment. Even the sunlight seemed lazy as it filtered through the windows, the hovering dust that never seemed to completely go away, no matter how often the room was cleaned.

The two figures on the couch lay comfortably entwined, the smaller curled securely on the larger one's chest, breaths easing out of them in steady counter-rhythm.

Several strands of long, dark hair shifted in response to the quiet breathing of the tall man whose glasses lay folded on the end table, sliding forward onto the smaller man's nose and making him twitch uncomfortably. A mewling sound, like a kitten or an infant, hitched in his throat and he nuzzled into the chest beneath him.

"Ssh," the taller man murmured quietly, more asleep than awake, as his long-fingered hand flexed clumsily against the bare skin of the other man's back. "I'm here."

All the tension bled out of tight muscles at the words, as easily as dispelling a child's nightmare ("there's no monster under the bed, baby; daddy's here; everything's okay") and they relaxed against each other again, breathing becoming steady, this time in tandem.

At the doorway, a sweet-faced woman with gentle eyes motioned for her companion to join her, to witness the scene.

"They look so sweet when they're asleep," the second woman, a striking blonde, murmured, a smile sliding across her face.

"They are sweet," the first answered, just as quietly, before they left the men to their afternoon dreams.

awww that was nice thank you very much. Now I don't have to go downstairs and load my pistol

[mjules.livejournal.com]

hee! I'll send you the Daddy's Girl scene I'm working on right now if I get it finished before 1:30 - my self-imposed bedtime.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

there you go. I'll be going to bed right about now. Mom thinks i'm getting up early to go to the Amish general store

[mjules.livejournal.com]

Eeep! I have work tomorrow. Thank God only a lunch shift.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that shouldn't be too bad. By then a parent might be dead. Dad was bleating on about the R.I.P. and distburbing the dead (since when? He's been into archeology since before I was born) and wanting to be cremeated so this wouldn't happen to him. Without a beat, I reply, 'sounds good to me, that'll hide the fact mom poisoned you to death.' THought mom was going to die laughing

*snorts, giggles*

Oh my.

Arsenic and old lace...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

once way back when in undergrad, both parents contacted me at the library where I worked to ask for books on poisons. So I bought them one

[mjules.livejournal.com]

*blinks* *laugh* Being that they're your parents... that somehow doesn't surprise me.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

mom wanted to write a mystery using poison. Now I think she just uses it to plot dad's death

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Oo, pretty.

[mjules.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I swear Maes is a total whore for Roy's long hair. The fun part is what I was in the middle of writing for Daddy's Girl while I was trying to write this. Talk about contrast.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAHHAHA.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no kidding. Yes I think we all agree Maes is never letting that hair be cut

[mjules.livejournal.com]

I'm with Maes on that one. *licks*

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Roy preens, tossing back his mane

Ed just rolls his eyes - Copycat.

[mjules.livejournal.com]

*Maes and Megs promptly start drooling*

"Um, we'll be back later." - Maes, wrapping Roy's hair around his fist and walking towards the bedroom. "Much later."

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You know, at this point, I think I'm glad I don't have long hair anymore - Ed

[mjules.livejournal.com]

No offense, Ed, but I don't think you'd have anything to worry about even if you did. Not from those two, anyhow. - Megs - Right, boys?

*silence*

Guys?

*whispering and suspicious noises*

Oh, nevermind. - Megs, rolling her eyes

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'm ignoring them - Ed

I miss your long hair, Ed - Winry

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I know Maes can't get enough of mine - ROy

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

No, it's very irresistable. - Maes

Ewwww - Ed

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

What? It is - ROy

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You're all perverts - Ed

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well...me at least - Roy

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You definitely - Ed

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort...roy's thinking sleeping with Ed would be like screwing himself

[mjules.livejournal.com]

Maes is thinking Roy's been doing that for years... (The second, not the first.)

[rahirah]

William Shatner changed the world? Since when?

Takai is definitely gay, though. He came out some time ago.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes i know. She was asking ...you know I'm not sure why.

It was an interesting 2 hour documentary on the impact of Star Trek on the minds of actual scientists using imagination to spark real scientific advancement. How did Shatner get credit...he's Will Shatner

[ninerva.livejournal.com]

I saw that documentary the other night. It was interesting, and as soon as the guy from Motorola came on I was like... "Ha! I knew it!" ;-)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes he was one of the guys i was thinking about especially

[druinsanity.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

no wait....

*breathes*

*shakes head* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D

I'm amused.

Annnnd a small NC-17 drabble for you. Whipped it out in a hurry so if it sucks, it's the thought that counts, right? :) Here ya go:

Raw desire. The need to feel something besides the all-consuming hate had led him here. Bodies fitting together so perfectly like they were made for each other. Sweat. Hot. Lost in a fiery abyss that he never wanted to crawl out of. Safe. Loved.

“Can’t get enough…”

Her warm breath brushed against the sensitive skin of his neck with the whisper. “Then don’t ever stop.” He whispered the reply as his hips worked himself inside of her. After all of this time, a life without direction Connor found his salvation and peace in a small brunette beauty. Dawn.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

awww thanks, it doesn't suck at all. I love it. Dawn and Connor always make me smile

[druinsanity.livejournal.com]

YAY! *dances* And hey! only 100 words. I am getting better at drabbles and not epics. I think I've grown. *nod nod*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hey drabbling is hard. That's why I frown when people bash on it. It is not an easy task telling something concise.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

mom can be highly amusing
