.drabbles: CSI:NY, House, LotR, SGA, WaT

Yay, drabbles!

Mass disclaimer: I own none of it.

Stuff in parentheses are additional info., warnings, whatever. And for some reason, there are several AUs this time around.

CSI:NY:
[livejournal.com profile] tanzy: Messer/Flack -
WHITE LAB COAT

Lab coats = Flack’s new fetish.

He likes watching Danny slipping in and out of his. In: smooth, practiced movement, difficult not knocking over tubes and equipment, but Danny makes it graceful. Out: Danny’s shirt pulls tight across his chest.

Flack will never tell Danny that.

Unless Danny grins at him, lopsided grin that makes his eyes crinkle up behind his glasses, and then maybe he’ll think about it.

“What’re you thinkin about, Flack?” Danny asks now, mind reader, and they’re in the middle of the lab, and Danny’s coat is half-on, half-off, and Danny’s grinning.

Fuck, Flack thinks. Fuck.



House:
[livejournal.com profile] nekosmuse: House/Wilson (post-1.18 "Babies and Bathwater" AU) -
NO SUCCESS LIKE FAILURE

“You’re still his medical proxy,” Cameron said. “You need to be here.” Anger, pleading, and sincerity: Cameron did all three very well.

It figured, it figured House hadn’t gotten around to changing his paperwork. Cameron was right: he needed to be there.

Wilson looked around his office, sleek and technological, very New York, wondered at how he’d had a whole year to find a new direction and hadn’t managed it yet. Sticking with his resignation even after Vogler’s departure hadn’t changed things.

He didn’t think about stopping to pack, and didn’t think about what that not stopping meant, either.



LotR:
[livejournal.com profile] cain1999: Erestor/Faramir -
MARRIAGE

The city below them celebrated under the Midsummer stars, threads of song and fire and women’s voices raised up in joy for their King and Queen.

“And so Men begin once more, while my kindred end.” Erestor turned away from the window. In his voice was sorrow, but also happiness, that of one who has seen something, or someone, long hoped-for arrive.

“Surely,” Faramir said, “this is not the end.”

“An end.” The Elf sat gracefully by the bed, eyes grey and changeable as the Sea, as old when Faramir, child of Westernesse, looked into them. “We two, though, may yet begin.”

--
[livejournal.com profile] ribby: Aragorn/Boromir -
A RIVER SONG

Did that aurochs, that great bull, think his horn would give voice to war, that the thunder in it would crash upon the rocks at Anduin’s banks, wash upon the feet of the Argonath, cover the water, out-roar the falls?

Last breaths for war and then confession, vows to a brother and king, and they tasted of blood.

Hornsong echoed in the hills, the dying air under the trees, between the two men on the grass.

Kiss of parting on the forehead, and Boromir was warm still; Aragorn would remember that, warm as he had always been, even after echoes died.



SGA:
[livejournal.com profile] twincy: McShep, the northern years - (AU; couldn't quite make it 100 words)
THE ICE

“It’s the cloak or the heat, Sheppard. The generator can’t handle both.”

“It’s handled both for a year, Rodney.”

Rodney sighs. They don’t argue in public. Keep your disagreements private, Elizabeth always said. Sheppard wishes she could say that now, but she – and Lorne, Teyla, Ronon, too many others – is gone, somewhere beneath the Ice.

They capitalize it now, Atlantis’s new surface. Starlight reflecting off it makes a second day.

“We’re dead either way,” Rodney says in the half-dark, warm but remote against John’s side.

“We’ve stayed alive for the past year, Rodney.”

“Yeah,” Rodney says. It’s not agreement.

John thinks Rodney’s right: since the Ice, this hasn’t been living at all.

--
[livejournal.com profile] mardia: Rodney/Lorne, w/pining!Lorne - (vaguely 3.01; unrequited McKay/Sheppard)
LOST CAUSES

For a smart guy, Rodney McKay was willing to do incredibly stupid things. Lorne told him this in the dank air of the Hive ship.

“I do them because the other option is certain death,” Rodney grunted. “Could you let me work?”

Lorne thought about asking Why do you chase around after Sheppard then? He’d never have thought McKay would devote time and energy to lost causes.

Well, what the hell are you doing? Like standing far too close to an oblivious Rodney, hard-won proximity, was any better.

He made himself step back, didn’t catch McKay looking at him curiously.



WaT:
[livejournal.com profile] moosesal: D/M, eggs -
BAM

“Wow. Just... Wow.”

Martin glares a shut up at Danny. Egg white oozes off the edge of a mixing bowl and plops on the floor by his shoe.

The counters are a scene from When Kitchen Terrorists Attack: exploded flour, something burning, sugar carmelized on the stovetop, and Martin wearing most of whatever he’s been trying to make.

“Cooking relaxes me,” Martin says, staring at the egg on the floor.

“There are better ways to relax, you know.” Danny tells him.

“Really?” Martin’s glare melts into a half-smile that invites a kiss, and Danny takes him up on it.

Tastes sugar, relaxation.

--
[livejournal.com profile] dragontatt: D/M, "laugh and the world laughs with you..." -
MEDICINE

He loves Danny’s laugh. On the field, in the office, it makes a bad case bearable. In bed, it means... it means a lot.

Martin can’t describe it, because it’s not a real laugh, more a smile and a huff of breath, but Danny’s face is alight, eyes crinkling at the corners, so infectious that Martin forgets his habitual reserve and has to laugh with him.

“You don’t smile enough,” Danny tells him, usually before kissing him, like now. “You know smiling uses fewer muscles than frowning? It’s true.”

Which surprises a laugh out of Martin, and Danny’s own laugh is victorious.

--
[livejournal.com profile] carrieross: D/M,"This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you" - (very dark, AU)
MERCY

The bombs have stopped. They’ll be here soon, with chains, with no mercy; Martin’s seen what They can do.

Danny can’t run with more of his blood on the floor than inside him, and so Martin’s going to have to be the one to keep their pact.

Footsteps outside the bunker, impatient shouting.

“You’re beautiful,” Martin says hoarsely. Too beautiful for this hell of a world, the way he’s about to die.

“Yeah,” Danny agrees.

The hammer clicks back, metal on flesh, and Danny closes his eyes.

Two bullets in the chamber; Martin thinks, at least we can die together.

--
[livejournal.com profile] mrsdtaylor: D/M, breaking something valuable - (post-S4)
BUSTED STUFF

Back then, he’d push, prod, outright shove his way into Martin’s self-possession.

Self-contained, self-sufficient, that was Martin, one of those people too good to be true, that independent. And he was good at seeming so, good enough to fool Danny for a long time.

But Danny’d gotten used to looking, and gotten used to Martin, and he started seeing the cracks, so many of them radiating out from those two scars on his left side. Startling, like seeing the flaws in something valuable.

Now he touches Martin carefully, still half-afraid he’ll break, because he can see where Martin’s been broken before.

--
[livejournal.com profile] smilla02: D/M, fugly ties - (bondage, nothing explicit)
TIE ME UP, TIE ME DOWN

“Martin, I have my pride.”

“Unless you’ve got a webcam stashed somewhere, no one will know.” Martin makes a show of looking. Danny sighs underneath him.

I’d know.”

Danny... You agreed.”

“I agreed to ties. I didn’t agree to your ties.”

Martin’s holding one pink tie with grey stripes and one dark blue with lighter dots. Danny eyes them suspiciously.

“It’s not the same as wearing them; I’m just tying you up.”

“No way.”

“Fine. If I can’t tie you up with my ties, then I won’t wear that cowboy costume you like.”

Danny scowls but offers Martin his wrists.

--
[livejournal.com profile] le_mot_mo: D/M, "I am not going to sit on my ass..." -
MARTIN FITZGERALD’S DAY OFF

He’s going to be Martin Fitzgerald today.

He’s not going to be his father’s son, or Jack’s hardworking agent. The rules-follower, the good cop, the model citizen... Those are out, too.

They’re sitting across from a fountain in Central Park on a Monday, lunch extended into early afternoon laziness. Danny’s hand is warm on his neck, warmer maybe because the gesture is so obvious, we’re together Danny’s hand says, and people are staring.

Martin can hear what some of them are thinking, ohmygodthey’regaySICK, and mentally tells them to fuck off.

This is his, today: the sun, their bench, Danny against his side.

--
[livejournal.com profile] rilestar: D/M, icon #9 - (the icon is actually from "Penitence," but the drabble is post 4.02)
BANDAGE

Cold water seeps through his trousers, rain runs down the back of his neck, concrete is hard under him.

Martin’s blood, God so much blood, all over his hands, bright, shocking against the night.

Sir, sir, there’s nothing we can do. I’m –

He wakes violently, uncomfortable from a night on the couch, still in his shirt from yesterday.

Another dream. The memory shudders through him as he gets ready for the day, braves the subway to work, rides the elevator to the twelfth floor.

“Hey,” Martin says as he walks by.

“Morning,” Danny says, and makes sure Martin’s breathing.


In other news: [livejournal.com profile] 1fandom [livejournal.com profile] 1fandom [livejournal.com profile] 1fandom! I signed up for a pair of themes in WaT and SGA and it's terribly fun to write. Something different.

Wonderful drabbles, especially the SGA and the LOTR. Poor Wilson.

Oh. I really like the SGA ones.

Also, OT: I got your card a few days ago (when I got back). It's wonderful. Thanks!

Thank you kindly! And yay! You got the card!

My drabble was everything I wanted and more--poor Lorne! Hee.

And the WaT and House drabbles were brilliant. My favorite has to be the eggs one.

*relief* I've never written Lorne before, so I'm glad it worked out okay :)

[identity profile] nekosmuse.livejournal.com 2006-07-31 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
First off, that House one has so much potential. If you ever decide to write in the fandom (and my god, please do), it would make for a brilliant fic. I love the idea of Wilson leaving, and yet, not being able to stay away. Lovely, lovely.

And the WaT ones. ::flails:: I can't even begin to decide which one I like better. So much angst and heartache and domesticity and adorable boy-ness. Eeeeeeee! Brilliant.

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2006-07-31 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
First off, that House one has so much potential.

It's actually something I've been kicking around vaguely, since just after I saw that episode for the first time. The note in my journal is something like "What if Wilson stayed gone????" It's not really coherent at the moment, but the drabble might help focus things.

So much angst and heartache and domesticity and adorable boy-ness.

Yay, adorable boy-ness! *squees happily* Glad you liked them :)

[identity profile] carrieross.livejournal.com 2006-07-31 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG, so angsty!! (Talking about the drabble you wrote out of my prompt!) Thank you so much, I love it.

I read the other ones and they're all funny/meaningful/angsty, as they are meant to be. Strangely enough, after London, I'm up for reading only drabbles/ficlets!
I read the user-info in the comm. you pimped. If I got it well, I can write 50 sentences that don't have to form a story, but just be linked to the mood... sounds interesting.

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2006-07-31 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)

What else did you expect with that prompt you gave me? ;D

If I got it well, I can write 50 sentences that don't have to form a story, but just be linked to the mood... sounds interesting.

I think, so long as you have the fifty sentences matched to the theme, you can do whatever you want. For the WaT fic, I'm using the sentences to structure the story, which is hard but quite fun :)

Oh, oh, oh my... *sniffles* Mine is so incredibly beautiful, but heartbreaking! And I love the turn from aurochs to hornsong to what that hornsong portends... just beautiful! Thank you so much!

And the other LotR drabble--lovely! I would have never thought of pairing those two, but it works, doesn't it? Of course, now I'd love to see more of them!

*tiger-tackles you* Yay!

Glad you liked your drabble! I just watched that scene a couple nights ago. *sniffle*

You are my hero! *hugs* This is just the thing I wanted. So little words, yet such strong emotion. Beautiful! *ishappy*

I love the LotR drabbles and, although I never would have thought of them, Faramir and Erestor make a lot of sense. Wonderful as always

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2006-07-31 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
although I never would have thought of them, Faramir and Erestor make a lot of sense.

I wish I could take credit for that, but [livejournal.com profile] cain1999 suggested the pairing :) A very interesting concept... I don't think I would ever have thought of them, either.

[identity profile] redfairie19.livejournal.com 2006-07-31 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohh! Absolutely wonderful. It's amazing how much you are able to put into so few words. Mercy and Bandage nearly broke my heart and BAM made me giggle uncontrollably. *loves them all*

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2006-07-31 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, thank you! I'm happy you liked "Mercy"... I love angst but usually draw the line at death, so writing this was kind of freaky.

As for "BAM," I'm one of those people who cooks to relax, but usually ends up being stressed about missing ingredients or making a mess *g*

[identity profile] mrsdtaylor.livejournal.com 2006-07-31 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh wow that was amazing! So beautiful! I really wasnt expecting something as... intelligent as that! You really are bloody good at this! Thankyou.

[livejournal.com profile] carrieross's drabble is sooo like painful. Why do you do this to me? I always hate it when drabble requests come around, its the only time I ever read character death, but its always beautiful! It was... man it hurt.

x xx

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2006-08-01 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Why do you do this to me?

I like torturing people? :D

These are lovely. And I love what you did with eggs. Mmm, messy cooking Martin. Very nice image.

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2006-08-01 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

Mmm, messy cooking Martin. Very nice image.

Danny's going to clean him up :D

Or possibly mess him up a bit more, I'm not sure.

[identity profile] moosesal.livejournal.com 2006-08-01 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
How about both? Get him more messy than clean him up in the shower.

[identity profile] le-mot-mo.livejournal.com 2006-07-31 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG! My drabble is the best of them all! *g* No, seriously, they're all very good (even the fandoms I know nothing about), but this:

Martin can hear what some of them are thinking, ohmygodthey’regaySICK, and mentally tells them to fuck off.

So totally made my day! Thank you!

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2006-08-01 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
So totally made my day!

I think eventually Martin might actually tell people that to their faces, the day his politeness is finally strained past the breaking point :D

[identity profile] le-mot-mo.livejournal.com 2006-08-01 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, I'd kill to see that. Danny would be so proud of him. :o)

[identity profile] white-rose01.livejournal.com 2006-07-31 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow...These were all great, completely true to character and just...yeah my brains not too hot with the whole stringing words together thing at the moment...I think it was your dark fic that did it for me, it was just beautiful in every way, dark, angsty and perfect.

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2006-08-01 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! Hope the brain starts cooperating for you soon :D

As for the dark fic... I love angst, but I'm not usually that dark. It kind of freaks me out a little.

Drabbles.. *happy sigh* especially the last few WaT ones. You've got to stop giving my muse ammo (jeez, it's not a gun) ideas. Then again, I need to write that fourth part to my little series-type-thing/watchamacallit. Okay, I need some sleep now.

By the way, I love the new layout :D <3 that episode. Doesn't even hardly look like him, does it? *ponders*

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2006-08-01 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
(jeez, it's not a gun)

Heh heh. Forget plot bunnies... Plot bullets.

Doesn't even hardly look like him, does it?

Not in the watch cap and glasses, no. Though Enrique Murciano is one of those people who can make glasses unbearably sexy. Carmine Giovinazzo is another.

I hate them. *sulks*

[identity profile] let-fate-decide.livejournal.com 2006-08-01 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Bwuaha. Plot bullets. Brilliant.

Carmine Giovinazzo is another.

Ohgodyes. Carmine. *melts*

*sulks with you and throws glasses across the room* and! they look incredibly gorgeous without glasses, too! so it's like, more than unfair. Growl. *points to the other Danny icon* xD

“Morning,” Danny says, and makes sure Martin’s breathing.

Eeee! And the prize for Best Final Line in a Drabble goest to this one! Your WaT drabbles are great (can't really speak on the others because I don't know the shows/characters) - a lovely mixture of beauty, darkness, fluff and angst - what more could a girl want?

Thank you so much! And: heh. 'cowboy costume'...

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2006-08-01 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)

The Lotr ones are sad but lovely, and the Aragorn and Boromir is rather poetic. :)
