Pitter patter, let's get at'er

[hackthis_archive]

I see now that the way to find out who you lot are is to ask for music. This is good. I did not know before. Also, you know, thank you.

*I've heard that it's important to express gratitude when people are kind. After all, kindness isn't required, it's given.

Three drabbles -- because I can

Warrior Angel (Sean/Cal)
For goss


Cal was not the first man Sean took to bed. He wasn't the second. Callum wasn't even among the first twenty people that Sean fucked or Interfered with or touched intimately -- but Sean doesn't dwell on that. Devlins don't dwell. Nigellus tells Sean that Devlins don't do a lot of things -- but he tolerates Callum's presence in Sean's life because Sean wouldn't have it any other way. Callum may not have been the first, but he's the most important, and when he curls up next to Sean in bed at night, Sean forgets there was ever anyone else.


due South (RayK/Fraser)


Canada is not Ray's dream. It's cold and wet, and the snow -- Ray is not in love with the snow. How could someone be in love with all that snow? How could anyone dream about a place so big and empty and lacking in delivery? Canada's not what Ray thought about when he was under the hood of the GTO at seventeen or walking the beat at twenty-two. But at thirty-nine, Ray has another dream. Except Fraser's not a dream -- he's Ray's reality, and if Fraser's dream is Canada, well - Ray can have more than one dream.


Harry Potter (Blaise/Theodore)


Blaise is not a dreamer -- he's a realist. He does not dwell on things as they might be; wands, curses and Arithmancy are his reality. His family are what Blaise knows; the coming war is a fact. There is no room for dreamers amongst Death Eaters -- there's no space for 'what if' when the tergiversari hex each other into the infirmary.

There's no room for anything in Blaise's life except cold, hard facts -- so he supposes it's a good thing he has Theodore in his bed. Too much reality is never good -- even for a Zabini.

Sigh. God, this is lovely and makes my heart go all warm and smooshy. I feel like nabbing it and making a dreamcatcher -- probably because I'm dead on my feet at the moment and am looking longingly at my bed, but still.

oh, these are all so good. like little sweet-and-sour gumdrops.*g*

Also this: How could anyone dream about a place so big and empty and lacking in delivery?

*snerk* perfect

I'm not a big delivery person myself, but I think I'd be really bitter if the nearest bar/club/lounge/brunch place was like two hours away, you know?

Awwwwwww. *melty-sigh*

*looks out window* Yup. That about sums it up.

But now I feel all cozy just reading these. *smooches you*

That is SO romantic, dude. It's romantic like a Bruce Springsteen song. It's romantic like "Human Touch".

*dies*

*cracks up*

Great now all I can see is Ray crooning Bruce Springsteen when he makes eggs the morning after. You think he sang 'I'm on Fire' to Stella?

Oh, you are EVOL!

[lalejandra.livejournal.com]

HAH! YES!!!!

But I was thinking of it like Human Touch - you know, like, "I ain't looking for praise or pity, I ain't coming 'round searching for a crutch, I just want someone to talk to, and a little of that human touch..."

OR like whatsitcalled - BORN TO RUN. Hell yeah.

*heads desk*

You are WRONG! My inner Fraser is practically rubbing his eyebrow off thinking about Ray shaking his ass, dancing around the kitchen and singing.

[lalejandra.livejournal.com]

I guess that means you're going to write me a fluffy little drabbly thingie? :)

Hi! I've never left a comment before; I found you through your amazing O11 fic 'Leave Emotion @ the Door'. Loved it, LOVED it, but never got around to saying so until now. So I felt guilty about the feedback slacking, and sent you a song (thru YouSendIt) to compensate for the guilt. :-) Just so you don't wonder when you get more music from a stranger.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You are so kind! I'm glad you enjoyed 'Leave Emotion @ the Door' I absolutely adored O11 and I can't wait for O12. I look forward to being inspired greatly :)

I only have a clue about the HP, of course. But. <3

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I less than three you, too :)

[circe-tigana.livejournal.com]

I love the theme that runs through them. I am concerned for Neville. But I'm glad you liked "My girlfriend who lives in Canada".

Hee.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yes. You are not the first person to say this to me. Unfortunately, I'm having many issues, because it seems that when I came back from holiday everybody else stayed behind. Nevertheless, Theodore and I agree that the next issue once we've dealt with the portkey is to show exactly why Theodore is willing to do what he does for Neville.

I mean it's all well and good to say he's devoted, but why? Who is this Neville longbottom that makes Theodore do all these things and go to these lengths. Is it the smears of dirt or the crooked smile or that Neville makes Theodore feel like he's doing something right? And what is this horrid 'right' business? Having a crisis of conscious requires having a conscious at all, which is clearly not something found in any better Slytherin home -- but it's quite possible as Blaise once said that "Theodore has his father's cunning and his mother's sense of well 'other' things."

Too much reality is never good -- even for a Zabini.

I'm starting to fall for entirely too many Slytherins. The rest of my house is looking at me funny (or enviously, as Ravenclaw boys are...well, Ravenclaw boys).

I also love your Ray to itty bitty pieces. Basically I'm very confuzzled.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

That's right. See Ravenclaws can swing both ways, and really Ravenclaw/Slytherin is vastly preferable to Ravenclaw/Gryinffor. You don't want one of them, they have no common sense! All bite and no brain!

Hope you didn't already have the mp3 (Massive Attack - Angel) I sent you, I figured it was a popular song but sent it anyway, just in case.

Anyway, ahh, what a sweet little drabble, even though you've pretty much made me all "Theodore/Neville über alles". Still, it paints a portrait of Blaise and man, if I should love these characters more than I already do.

They've started showing The OC in here (Finland) so I can very soon read your OC fic (in fact I've already read a few as I'm not very scared of spoilers). It's such a lovely show.

And now that I know more than two fandoms you write in, I definitely have to friend you. Feel free to add me back if you should so wish but it's of course okay if you don't.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh, a OC virgin, how exciting! I hope it lives up to expectation! Also, thank you for the music :)
