2. I'm a big fan of the part where a summer camp that rented a pool in north PhillY for $1900 were told they weren't welcome, because they changed the complextion of the pool. Keep it classy, racist assholes!

4. YAY, Leverage premieres tonight!

5. And Matt Damon is going to be on Entourage! So, that means that Matt and Ari are going to be hanging out. And I didn't even have to write it! Yeah, I know, who's the man? All they need now is RDJ... you know since I write it and it happens. Excuse me, I have to go write myself winning ten million dollars. BRB.

6. Ryan Gosling is releasing his album in October. I WANT IT NOW.

6a. Anybody got the new Regina Spektor album (Far) that they wanna share with the class.

7. An Offer: Anybody who wants to come over here and give me a photo prompt that maybe might result in some drabble porn to make the masses happy is more than welcome.

If you just want to picspam the pretty to you know, help the general mood, that's awesome too. In fact, feel free to come and post photos and write your own porn too! But it's gotta be a photo. And SFW. It can be a party!

Mostly I'm just trying to make romanticalgirl smile, so help a sister do a good deed.

I shall not be broken I tell you!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

[Okay, I'm giving myself the length of one song to get this done] Chelsea Dagger 3:35.

Nate had very clear rules when they were at Mathilda. No touching. No breathing too close. No bodily contact. No impure thoughts.

Actually that last one was a lie, but Brad kind of felt that Nate was being unreasonable about the whole thing, because Nate would crowd into Brad's space, point things out on the tracker. He'd be so close Brad could feel his body heat, see the fine hairs on the back Nate's hand, and then when Brad's hand accidentally brushed against Nate's -- it was his goddamn laptop anyway -- Nate would pull away. Scoot back. The hell was that?

And then they were in Iraq and thre was war and things exploding, and Brad understood the rules. They'd been in place ever since Nate caught Brad staring at his mouth, didn't make them right. Didn't make them... fuck, Brad hated the word 'fair' but still.

Brad was a Marine, he could do this. Fuck, he could probably rescue kids from a burning building, he could endure whatever puritanical shit had Nate Fick refusing to even be alone with Brad longer than a few minutes.

Okay, Brad could do it. But he didn't want to. He really didn't want to. Somedays he would just stare. Let his eyes go all inappropriately over Nate's face, mouth, that ass.

He's almost ashamed to admit it took him a while to get it. A while to realize that Nate only ever seemed to bite his lower lip was when they were together, or when Brad was just being all kinds of obvious.

And that was just... that was wrong. The way Nate would suck his bottom lip into his mouth. Worry it with his teeth just that litle bit.

Just so fucking wrong.

And then it all sort of fell together in Brad's head. Nate's mouth. That lower lip. The softness between Brad's teeth. The way it would probably feel when it was Brad's mouth... Brad's cock.

The fact that Nate was probably thinking about Brad's mouth. Brad's cock. That he was probably doing it just to give Brad a show.

Yeah, the LT was a crafty fucker. Just Brad's type.



[Yeah, I'm getting tired that took like three songs].

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

Brad often forgets to take into account that appearances can be deceiving and Nate's a dirty, crafty fucker. And getting to Brad is like his favorite game ever.

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

getting to Brad is like his favorite game ever.

Now *that* is the summary for a story.

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

So Nate was doing the mouth thing as a deliberate tease? Mean!

he could endure whatever puritanical shit had Nate Fick refusing to even be alone with Brad longer than a few minutes.

That speaks of not being able to control himself, eh? Because if you're fine, if you can be unaffected, then it wouldn't matter. But removing himself from Brad's presence means it DOES matter. ::loves::

I admire your fortitude, m'lady.

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It's like you and were discussing, Nate's trying very very hard to do the right thing. He's not exactly stupid, he knows what's there, but he won't use it. Won't succumb. You know, until this whole cluster fuck is over and he's out of the Corps. We all know he left to go off and save the world, but uh, you know finally fucking Brad guilt free? Not a bad incentive for civilian life ever.

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Oh, God, I've convinced you there's no possible way they get together in the series. That is bad! I did not mean to do that!

you know finally fucking Brad guilt free? Not a bad incentive for civilian life ever.

Heh. Well, there is that, yes.

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

Nate knows he shouldn't do it. He knows that he's edging far too close to stepping over the line. The problem is that he can't quite help it. He's hip deep in shit he can't control and he's losing his faith in all the tenets he can't help but believe in and, more than all of that, he's only human.

Brad Colbert, on the other hand, everyone thinks is more than human, but Nate knows that's not the case. He's known it since the first time they met, since the first time they fucked. Brad's as human as anyone, as needy and hungry for it as the next Marine. Nate remembers the bruises Brad left, remembers how it hurt to walk and to breathe for three days afterward because neither of them could hold back, neither of them wanted to. From the first moment they wrestled each other for dominance before silent mutual agreement led to giving and taking as much as they could get.

That's why there are rules here. Nate had thought about it before, but it wasn't until Brad looked at him - stared at him - that he'd realized they needed to be verbalized, put into place. Because Brad looking at him made Nate's dick hard and made him forget how to function, made him forget the stupidity for a moment while he got lost in the memory of Brad's dick in his mouth, Brad's body around him. That's why there are rules, he has to remind himself. Because distractions can get him killed, can get Brad killed.

So Brad stops. No, Brad doesn't stop, but he's not as intent on it. He channels it into fighting with Ray and the fucked up nature of this entire operation. Nate though... Nate can't stop. Can't stop thinking about Brad. Can't stop watching Brad watch him. Can't stop remembering all the hot, pornographic things Brad had told Nate he wanted to do to Nate's mouth, all the things he did which is why, intentionally or not, Nate can't help but suck on his bottom lip, slide his tongue along it. Brad's eyes promise retribution and Nate has to nod his acquiescence, has to smile as Brad realizes.

Brad's glare promises hell to pay. Nate finds he can't wait.

So, like, Thing #842 that I love about your writing is that this is something A and I were battling about today, Brad bottoming or topping and self-esteem, etc, etc, and you basically whittled the whole thing down and were like look bitches, this is how it is. They fight over it, and then they go back to their corners and lick their wounds and then do it again. Don't talk about it, just do it. It's Fight Club. Don't even get me started on my Fight Club love or we'll be here all day.

Brad's glare promises hell to pay. Nate finds he can't wait.

Rowr.

My secret is that I read all your comments, let you guys come to a conclusion and then put it in fic so I look brilliant! ::is sneaky:: Also, I totally agree that they have issues and would have to work them out, but I think in the heat of the moment, they'd be all "whoever wins!" and then they both do no matter what, so it's all good.

Brad is going to school his LT. A LOT.

You are like me. I lurk and I learn things. Yis. I was totally trying to be sneaky and write you some of your porn skirmish thingys, but I kinda of shot my wad here I think. Mostly I just like making other people happy. I'm a giver not a taker. That seems to cause issues. I digress. I agree that they have issues, but anything you really want you'll make work.

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

We are very much alike in this - I love giving stuff to people and tend to flail a little when people do stuff for me (hence me writing right alongside you here), and I love listening to find out what people want to see. So yay!

Yes, so you should tell me more about what you want to see. Wot?

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

Okay, let's see if I can come up with a list of things I like.

* Pining
* Leaning
* Up against the wall
* Wanking and watching

Does that help?

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I am writing you stubbly!John right now based on THAT photo. I actually have the wanking and watching waiting impatiently right after that ;-)

The other three. Well, Ben and John'll take care of those. Just wait.

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, guh. I have that photo open in another tab and I keep looking at it because it is the HOTT. I'm contemplating the gun!porn you mentioned earlier for John and Ben. Of course, this is hampered by knowing almost nothing about guns.

Part I

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ben's been gone for five days.

Olivia wanted to go to Hawaii; the asshole that fertilized Ben's mom wouldn't let her go without a chaperone.

So, of course, Ben rode to the rescue.

John doesn't begrudge Olivia this. She's a great kid, smart, funny. She clearly has Sherman's number.

The fact that she called John from Maui just to assure him that she was taking awesome care of 'his man' and 'totally kicked that ass of that skeezy chick who tried to buy Ben a drink' just made him like her even more than he already does.

John was touched. And amused. He's got his own spy now.

In fact, when Ben called later to recount the story, John didn't even need the details.

The fact that Ben really called because he apparently kind of missed John and wanted a bedtime story about all the ways John was going to fuck Ben open with his fingers, and suck his cock until Ben's eyes crossed and then snowball his ass until Ben was a sobbing mess made up for any sort of murderous thoughts that had initially crossed John's mind.

But Ben's home now. John had thought about picking he and Olivia up from LAX, but the things John's going to do to Ben in the first 90 seconds they're together just aren't meant for kids. Some things Olivia doesn't need to be exposed to until she's 65.

The point is Sherman's babysitting gig is done. Now it's playtime for the grown ups.

John speeds up Coldwater, sky blue, the hills curving and demanding, requiring him to pay attention to the road ahead of him and not the way he's going to bend Ben in half and fuck that tight, gorgeous ass until the mere thought of sitting down makes Ben wince.

That band that Ben really likes cues up on Amy's speakers and John just shakes his head. Pussy ass bitchy – oh, wait, John actually kind of likes these Wilco guys.

John pulls up to Ben's place twenty minutes later, which is just twenty minutes too long.

He parks Amy in the driveway and doesn't even bother to put up her windows. Fuck, Ben's neighborhood is so nice John bets they don't even lock their doors at night.

He tosses his sunglasses in the passenger seat and gets out of the car. Ben's garage door is up, and John's heading directly for it when he sees something moving on his right, something hidden from plain sight by a large hedge of plants.

It's Ben. Sitting on the steps leading up to his front door.

He looks like he's been waiting there.

Waiting on John.

John knows the smile on his face is ridiculous. He doesn't even care.

Ben had invited him along, but John – John's not ready for the gay uncles chaperoning thing just yet.

Leaning?

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

You have to watch "While You Were Sleeping" to truly understand the lean.

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I understand the power of the lean, baby. Trust.

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

AHAHAHA!

I totally agree that they have issues and would have to work them out, but I think in the heat of the moment, they'd be all "whoever wins!"

Yeah, but - ya know, hypothetically speaking, who DOES win? Or perhaps more accurately, who acquiesces? Hmm.

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

I'm sneaky. Ninja-like even.

I think it depends on the situation, to be honest. I can see it playing out where Brad acquiesces and I can see it with Nate too. It's all a matter of the context.

I KNEW A was going to make you choose. I could feel it. She's stubborn and requires resolution that one.

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

I LIKE CLOSURE! And I was being nice and wasn't even gonna call L on this. (But since you did, all bets are off, mwahaha!) Imo, it needs to be written both ways to make me see it. ::big eyes::

Re: I shall not be broken I tell you!

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

OMG, I missed this! That's so wrong!

Nate remembers the bruises Brad left, remembers how it hurt to walk and to breathe for three days afterward because neither of them could hold back, neither of them wanted to.

YES!

Brad's eyes promise retribution and Nate has to nod his acquiescence, has to smile as Brad realizes.

Oh, NATE. ::loves::
