Desperate times and all that.

I have no words to describe my boredom right now. I have no words to describe anything. I'm at the stalemate, and I'm tempted to do that Give me a prompt and I'll write you a two-line story for it.
Yeah, alright, hit me. First fifteen in the door get the prize.* Anything I've already written before is game, no Hermione. Look, I'll even show you how it goes. Example: Request: SGA, Sheppard/McKay (which, um, you could request too even though I don't watch the show)
"So, McKay, what's all this UST business?" Sheppard did that thing he did with his mouth when he was trying to play smart. Rodney wasn’t fooled. "Is it a new strand of the ATA gene?"
"It stands for Unresolved Sexual Tension, Major."
"Lieutenant Colonel."
"Please," Rodney scoffed. "With all this tension I could call you Susan, and you wouldn't care."
"What tension?"
"The sexual tension between us."
"What sexual tension between us?"
"See, that's why it's unresolved! Because you can't admit it's there!"*
*If you're late, you might be able to bribe me with music. I'm partial to Eric B and Rakim, Tom Jones, New Edition, Doug E Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew.
***Okay, that was about ten lines too long, but
serialkarma is feeling poorly, so I'm being nice.
ETA: OKAY, offer closed!

"My puddlejumper," Sheppard says forlornly. "Someone scratched it."

Date: 2006-01-07 12:49 am (UTC)His employers paid him a lot of money to ensure that nothing would ever distract him from achieving his objective, and today's objective was ensuring the safety of one Dr. Rodney McKay back to something called a Stargate. The catch was that no one had bothered to tell Julian about Rodney McKay's ability to irritate the snot out of everyone with a ten-kilometre radius.
Julian didn't give a toss about Zero Point Energy in the first place, and he uncharacteristically pulled out his gun and checked to make sure there were no live rounds in the chamber. It was just a safety precaution of course, but Ronon Dex would be very upset if Julian killed his client before he returned him to Antartica.

"I think we're the ones who should be talking to God," Izzie says with a smirk, showing George a lot of measuring tape. "He clearly blessed you more than any other man we know."

Date: 2006-01-07 12:07 am (UTC)cooinghowling at Ari. I heart Ari Gold.Ari's not anybody's yenta, but if he were he'd tell Eric to get the fuck over Vince. And then he'd tell Vince to get the fuck over Eric, because they're both acting like little bitches. And then Ari'd buy them both blowjobs from the trannies outside of the Formosa. Actually, since they put up that Target on La Brea all the trannies have moved to Highland, but fuck all that noise. Ari's not a yenta, so he just rolls his eyes and thanks the gods of MGM and Sony that Eric can't get Vince pregnant.

Date: 2006-01-07 01:08 am (UTC)Jack rolled his eyes and turned away. "If you can't be helpful then shut up and get steal me something that can."
And that was about when Steven flung a large glob of peanut butter in Jack's hair.

Date: 2006-01-07 01:40 am (UTC)The minute the words came out of Clark's mouth, he knew he'd screwed up, but by then it was too late, because Lex was turned interesting shades of white and red and if he'd be wearing a blue shirt, it would've been very patriotic.
Apparently, Lex wasn't getting the joke and he narrowed his eyes menacingly. "There is a reason I have a housekeeper, Clark," he said, shaking the pink boxers in Clark's face. "It's so that my clothes aren't tainted by the Super!Dork uniform.
Clark scowled. "There's no reason to resort to name-calling just because I tried to do a good deed!"
"Doing the laundry isn't a good deed!" Lex admonished. "Saving a kitten is a good deed, and about all you're good for right now anyway. Go away, I can't talk to you when all my clothes look like I just left a Greatful Dead concert."
Clark didn't pout right away, he restrained himself for at least four whole seconds. "Just remember that the next time you want clean socks," he said before brushing past Lex and going to the living room.
Clearly no good deed went unpunished.

Date: 2006-01-07 01:58 am (UTC)Since Jack has stopped sleeping with the sheep and started sharing his bedroll with Ennis, Ennis has become a better man, a happier man. It's not that Ennis is drinking less, or working more, or that the weather has improved at all -- it's just that in those first moments of waking with Jack next to him, anything is possible for Ennis. Before his eyes are wide open, Ennis could be anywhere with Jack -- but he's always with Jack, and as long as his eyes are closed they can have everything. They can have this, and it's not a lot, but it has to be enough for when his eyes are open.

Date: 2006-01-07 04:24 am (UTC)"I'm sorry, I must've mis-heard this particular bit of insanity," Sheppard said. He was doing that thing he did with his mouth and his tongue. It was the breathing thing. It was distracting.
"It's not insanity, you pea-brained moron," Rodney snapped. "It's just not sane."
Sheppard peered at Rodney closely. "You think that insulting me is going to help?"
"I don't want help!" Rodney retorted. "I want to know how you're doing it! Is it your hair? Is it Atlantis? What sort of mojo are you working on me that's making my IQ decrease so dramatically?"
Sheppard opened his mouth as though he were going to say something and then thought better of it. "Not telling," he said eventually. "It's a secret."
Rodney narrowed his eyes. "You can't keep a secret from me!"
Sheppard just winked. "Just watch me."

Titus Pullo is capable of great things. He is capable of great strength and great bravery, but also of great folly and great stupidity. Vorenus knows this as Caeser knows this, and Vorenus knows that if Pullo were someone besides Pullo then Vorenus would not be alone in the Senate, but wishing Pullo to be something else would require him to be someone else and Vorenus cannot have that either. Vorenus cannot have a great many things it would seem, but he contents himself with his life with Niobe and their children and believes this is enough.

Date: 2006-01-07 04:41 am (UTC)"Good morning, I'm Dr O'Malley," George began, pulling back only to stop and stare. The patient stared back at him blandly, reholstering his sidearm nonchalantly and shifting his weight to display a vast expanse of bare skin. "You can't have guns in the hospital," George said matter-of-factly, clutching the chart to his chest, and resolutely not noticing that his patient was tan in the middle of December.
The patient smiled. Not the tiny, worried patient smile that George was used to getting, but the big shark smile that George only saw on Alex or Dr Bailey before she ate someone whole. "I have a permit," the patient said, reaching over the far side of the bed.
"NO!" George shouted covering his face with the chart. "No! No! No! Don't shoot me!" George hollered.
It took George a moment to realise that the entire ward was staring at him, and he lowered the chart sheepishly. The patient just smirked and shook a black button-down Oxford at George. "It's a bit chilly in here," he said matter-of-factly. "I came here to have my arm looked at, not catch cold."
George colored fiercely. "I'm so sorry, Mr," he glanced at the chart, "Mr Sark."
Mr Sark just gave George another smirk. "I'm sure it could happen to anyone."
