Feel free to come over here and tell me how much you love Cooper and Ben and Adams and how excited you are that it's Cooper Day! And how he's awesome. And super hot (but not in that traditional wimpy, limp noodle, vapid, pretty boy actor way)! And you'd totally be his surrogate if he and Ben want to have kids, or like, whatever. Or you can come over here and tell me all your Southland fic ideas and maybe I'll be inspired and write it for you, but you don't have to worry about the Slutty for Cooper/Prude Everywhere Else Ben-fic, because uh, yeah, I'm already thinking about that one.
OR (inspired by

no subject
Date: 2009-05-07 08:45 pm (UTC)And Ben is trying to stay calm and failing miserably because he wants this, and he's a little freaked by how *much* he wants it, because he knows better than to want this from his training officer, but then the cuffs go on, making that little ratcheting noise they do and everything washes out in a rush of want.
no subject
Date: 2009-05-07 09:07 pm (UTC)And Cooper smiles. "Patting down the criminal. Did you learn anything from Dewey's stupidity."
And Ben's eyes go a little wide when Cooper kicks his legs apart, and then Cooper's hands are on his shoulders, his chest, down his stomach, and Ben goes very still when Cooper's hands slide down his hips, down the outside of his thighs, his calves. He's not expecting Cooper's hands to come back up the inside of this thighs... and he makes this noise when Cooper's hand get very close...

This delights me, and now I must go be productive so that I may devote time to Southland later. Oh, the sacrifices.

Date: 2009-05-07 08:32 pm (UTC)I love him. I love his very short hair and piercing eyes and powerful body. I love his seemingly contradictory fuck-all/god's work attitude. I love his swagger. I love his euphemisms. I love the little hints of weaknesses and things that seem incongruent, like the flowers you put outside his house ^_^ I want more incongruities. I want Twin Peaks allusions XD. I want Cooper and Ben to stalk around each other trying to figure out what roles they're going to play and wind up realizing they can't play anything with each other. I love how ambiguous and amorphous everything is right now and I wish I had time to write but I'll just depend on others for a while and keep collecting ideas. Oh Cooper.
no subject
Date: 2009-05-07 08:39 pm (UTC)YES! THIS. This is why I love Cooper. Also, I will tell you some of my Cooper fanon. The flowers in his yard are actually from his neighbor Mrs. Gonzales down the street. See, one of the perks of a cop living in your neighborhood is that if something goes wrong, you, if they're a good cop, feel okay asking for a favor. So, when Mrs. Gonzales' son Jaime, got in trouble for graffiti, the first person Mrs. Gonzales turned to was Cooper and Cooper helped him get into a art program run by the city, and so no issues and everybody's happy. And Mrs. G planted the flowers as a sort of thank you, and she taught John how to look after them, and so he does this once a month... and you know. He's a good man like that.

*____* Oh my god, yes. And being a cop, he would know the effectiveness of a well-kept exterior at deterring neighborhood crime. And, y'know, if he thinks they're sorta pretty, that's between him and the zinnias.
*dies* I just have this image of them not saying a single word the first time they do it, or for like 2 days afterwards, because they're both so flummoxed by the way they defy one another's expectations.

And also: Brad meeting up with Cooper. Because that's just can't-get-it-out-of-my-head awesome.

Date: 2009-05-07 10:32 pm (UTC)- Ben picks up on some sort of *vibe* between John and an ex-partner when all three of them are at some cop-bar thing. Ben from across the room, watching John and the man standing next to each other laughing, studying the body language, something prickling at the back of his head that he can't quite figure out. At first he's jealous platonically, in a "he's my partner now" way, or at least that's what he tells himself. Later on, maybe, he realizes his jealousy isn't 100% platonic.
- they're called to some BDSM scene gone very, very bad. Some comment of John's casually indicates *more than casual* knowledge. Then, Ben makes a casual comment response that indicates that he's got enough more than casual knowledge to know what John's comment indicates. And they're focussed on being all business, and showing the people at the scene the same kind of (unusual for TV cops) respect that they did at the transvestite shopkeeper scene. Of course, this gets stuck in Ben's head after, particularly when John does *zero* chit chat/needling about the scene afterward. And Ben maybe gets fascinated/obsessed/thinking more than he wants about exactly what John's into (would he be dominant like he is on the job, or would he be one of those guys who wants the reverse when he's playing). Not sure where it would go from there... but there are many possibilities.
-- Some sort of evening BBQ at lady cop's (whose name I forget) place, where her son has some jailbait teen girl friends there, some of whom are all giggly and gaga over Ben, flirting w/ him, and John finds himself amused as *hell* over the way Ben is so smooth at being friendly but not encouraging w/ the girls. (probably due to practice from fending off his sister's jailbait friends flirting). He also finds himself amused by one girl who manages to get Ben a little flustered. Maybe a little later he finds Ben semi-hiding around the side of the house. Both of them are buzzed, John is buzzed plus painkillers, and loose lipped, and in the course of teasing Ben about being attractive to 15 year old girls, he lets slip a comment or two that he realizes (after it's out of his mouth) may be more revealing than intended. And Ben is in that quiet-thinky-drunk mode and doesn't respond to the subtext of what's said. And John has to decide whether or not to cover, or change the subject, or push ahead and just come with it. But before he can, Ben says something that's even more ambiguous about his own interests, then wobbles back to the main party.
John stops drinking at that point, and a few hours later, Ben hasn't, and possibly John ends up driving him home, putting him to bed, and possibly finding out that Ben's known for a while about John's orientation.
