... will be coming next time. If I don't get off the computer now, I'll be banned and that would not be good. I have much House!flailing planned for the next time I'm on. (ZOMG!YAY! New House tomorrow!! *flails*) So yes. *curses dial-up for not loading faster* Next time.

Oh, and one last thing. The Audition and Age Of Daze are made of awesome! I'm loving their music right now!! *grin* (Though downloading their songs? Painful as hell.)

#015 Hair, Sheep And Kisses (Mal/Inara)

Summary: "You really annoy me sometimes," Inara tells Mal in exasperation. He looks up at her, the picture of innocence. Until he smirks. "Only sometimes?"
Notes: Written for 40_mixed. September 2.

"You really annoy me sometimes," Inara tells Mal in exasperation.

He looks up at her, the picture of innocence. Until he smirks. "Only sometimes?"

She glares. "Would you just...stop that!? Please?!"

"Stop what?" Mal plays dumb. "Stop this?" He takes another strand of her long, black hair and twirls it around his finger. Once he's twisted it the whole way, he slowly unravels it and lets it fall back into place. It almost seems to bounce when it's released, grazing Inara's cheek and obscuring her vision. She tosses the arrogant strand from her face with the flick of her wrist.

"Yes, Mal. That," she confirms. "I know you love playing with my hair, but really, it has to stop. My hair hasn't been this wavy since I used to use electrical appliances to curl it."

"Electrical appliances, huh? I'm that good at curling hair?" He pretends to think something over seriously. "Maybe I should become a hairdresser."

She holds back the snort of laughter she so fiercely wants to let out. "I imagine curling hair is not the only skill you require to become a hairdresser."

"Well, yeah, but - "

"Are you able to cut hair, too?"

"Does sheep count?"

She stares blankly at him.

"Back on Shadow, my ma had a farm. Used to raise cattle and we had a few sheep at one point. I helped cut their hair some."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, there weren't much else to do an' the stable hands liked the help. Learnt a lot from those guys."

"It sounds like you had a wonderful childhood."

Mal looks into space, as if reliving those days. "Yeah," he murmurs. He shakes out of his trance-like state. "But anyhow. I can cut sheep hair, so why not people hair?"

"Oh, I don't know, Mal. It's really quite different, don't you think?"

"Ahh, spoil it for me then. Burn my dreams to ashes."

"If you were to become a hairdresser, you'd have to settle down, you know. Find a place to call home that isn't the sky."

"Yeah, I know," Mal nods. "'s probably why I'm still flying and not settled down someplace with a pair o' scissors."

"Hmmm, yes," she murmurs, smiling softly.

"Would you...uh...would you ever consider settlin' down?"

"Me? I...really couldn't say. I've always imagined that I would, but since I arrived on Serenity, I just don't know. Serenity is more a home to me now than any other place I've been."

"Yeah?"

"She really is."

They share a smile.

"Me too."

"Anyway," Inara says. "Any life but the one we're living now would be awfully boring after what we've seen and done."

"True."

Mal, again, reaches for her hair and she moves backward quickly. Her hair slips through his fingers and he gives a short burst of laughter. "You really don't like that, do you?"

She smiles and lifts one shoulder in a half shrug. "It's annoying but I don't hate it," she admits.

"Well then," Mal continues. "I might have to do somethin' 'bout tha - "

He breaks off and pounces on her, pinning her wrists to the bed, on either side of her head. He shimmies up so that he's on top of her and stares down at her.

She's breathing hard and there's something primal in her eyes, something he rarely sees.

"As interesting-ful as all this hairdresser talk is, I think there's somethin' much better we can be using our mouths for," he hints.

She narrows her eyes at him, lips curling up into a wider smile. "Oh yeah?"

"Yeah." Mal closes the distance between them and kisses her.

+ I said I was going to post a few pics of my DVDs the other day. I never did get around to it. Will try to put them up tomorrow instead if anyone is interested, just so you can see the crazy that is my collection. *nod* I also have a few new pics of my room and of me. So yes. Tomorrow, I hope.

+ I posted a House/Cuddy fic and a Cameron/Chase fic last time I was online. I feel bad in saying this, but usually I get more than one review on House/Cuddy fics and am thinking that perhaps it's because I didn't post it to house_cuddy but rather hc_drabble as I've been told to do (by someone over at house_cuddy). Funny. I'm the only one who's posted to this newer drabble comm so far. Everyone else sticks to the original comm. Am rather discouraged by that. Should I take it up with the mod? If no one else is going to use the drabble comm I'd much rather use the original. That's not unreasonable, is it?

+ Am aiming today and tomorrow to comment to at least one post of each of my flisters - if that's humanly possible. If I haven't left you a comment, let me know and I'll be sure to do so. I've been feeling guilty that I haven't been commenting much at all lately. Need to catch up with teh flist! *luvs you all*

+ Storm last night. Pretty bad. Honeycomb (teh golden retriever) splintered the wooden frame of the door to the shed we keep her in. Also? She mangled the doorknob beyond recognition. Seriously. It's like something out of the X files where the doorknob has somehow been melted. Luckily she didn't lose any teeth in the process like she has during previous storms (in which she demolished screen doors). And we're all fine. I read an article on the storms via sapphs LJ earlier.. Scary stuff. I'm only about half an hour away from Chermside (by car) where someone was killed in the storm. Will definitely be staying indoors in future ones, just to be safe.

+ Was rewatching Buffy this morning. The Body was the last ep I saw and OMG! I was crying throughout most of it and worshipping/cussing Joss for his brilliance. It's just put together so well with the quiet scenes, the close ups, the total absolute angst. I particularly liked Anya's reaction of not knowing what to do and how to act and breaking down. Powerful stuff. And the Scoobies interaction was perfect with Tara being quiet and trying to be helpful, Willow torn between clothing choices in her despair, Xander fisting the wall (awww! *huggles him and makes his hand all better*) and Giles with his care of Buffy.. Dawn, too. The scene where she found out what happened? Heartbreaking. And Joy, so pale, all the close ups on her.. Just...everything. This is why Joss Whedon is my hero.

+ I started a post on my reaction to House MD (5x07 with bits of 5x06 thrown in) but ended up not finishing and so it's in my LJ in a private post to be edited, played with and finally posted at some point in the (near, I hope!) future. Because there can't be enough flailing for those two eps. ♥

+ Been daydreaming about House MD, specifically House/Cuddy. Any theories on what's going on in the next few episodes other than what's already been revealed in spoilers/promos?? Argh. It's driving me insane having to wait. I wish it was Wednesday (that's when House MD is on here) every day!!

+ I got that thing in the mail today, rightxhere. Thank you again! *tackle hugs* You own my soul. ;D

#005 Bad News (House/Cuddy)

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 12:11:17 GMT

Title: Bad News
Fandom: House MD
Characters: House/Cuddy
Prompt: #005 Sink & #007 ‘You plus me is bad news’ (Love on the Rocks, Sara Bareilles)
Word Count: 388
Rating: T+
Summary: “I have a sinking feeling,” she says, “that you plus me is bad news.”
Notes: Written for 20_fics and prompt_in_a_box. October 5.

“I have a sinking feeling,” she says, “that you plus me is bad news.” She lifts her eyes from her drink to meet House’s gaze.

They stare at each other for a moment.

House mostly stares at her breasts.

“You’re figuring that out now?” he taunts. He leers at her. Slowly, pointedly, he lifts his eyes to meet hers again. “I’ve known it since we met.”

“Yeah?”

“Oh yeah,” he confirms. He takes a swig of beer and throws a handful of peanuts in his mouth to follow. He crunches on them noisily as she finishes her beer.

“’nother?” he offers, beginning to slur.

“You’re trying to loosen me up, aren’t you?”

“Whatever gives you that impression?”

She raises both hands in an ‘I know what you’re doing but I can’t seem to care’ gesture. “You know what? Yes. I would like another. I’ve already lost my mind. Clearly. Might as well make it stick.”

He waves the bartender over and gets her a refill. “So this theory,” he begins. “What brought it on now, after all this time? Get some sense knocked into you finally?”

She looks at him in mild surprise. “You actually care?”

He shrugs.

She studies him curiously and then decides. She’ll tell him. “You brought it on,” she says softly. “You and this…this thing between us. Whatever it is.”

“Hot, violent sex? Because I don’t see how that’s a bad thing.” He waggles his eyebrows at her and leans in close so that she can smell the alcohol on his breath.

“It’s not that,” she ventures. She stares past him into space, inhaling his scent.

“Then what? Is it the deep and meaningful part of our relationship? Or the ‘DNM’ as all the cool kids are calling it these days?”

She turns to him abruptly, eyes fixing on his, blue on blue. “Deep and meaningful?” she repeats with a rueful smile. “When does that part happen? When I’m asleep?”

He doesn’t answer but studies the tabletop intently.

“House?”

He shakes his head, brushing her off.

“Anyhow,” she says. “You. Me.”

“Bad news.”

”Yeah.”

They sit in silence for a moment.

She raises her eyes to meet his. “You know what?” she announces.

One of his eyebrows shoots skywards. “What?”

“If this is bad news,” she tells him, “I’ll take bad news any day.”

#038 One Touch (Cameron/Chase)

Title: One Touch
Fandom: House MD
Characters: Cameron/Chase
Prompt: #038 Touch
Word Count: 129
Rating: T+
Summary: One touch and he's putty in her hands.
Notes: Written for housefic50 and rory_elizabeth. September 6.

One touch and he's putty in her hands. He is her lover, her servant, her slave. Every desire she has, he will fulfil, just so that he can feel her skin, so silky and smooth, brush against his once more.

One touch and she's unstoppable. She is in control and she loves it. She knows exactly what she wants and exactly what to do to get it. She craves him and so he, she gets. Her will is his to follow and when she allows it, his is hers.

One simple touch sends them crazy for each other and one touch is all they need to know that they are a perfect match. They fit. Joined, they are finally whole.

More touches and they'll surely fall harder and faster.

Help?

I'm so very tempted to write a crossover fic for the challenge at chloecrossing. Soooo tempted. I'm just getting back into Smallville and Chloe? Yeah. Well, she's made of awesome. I've always loved her character. (I've only seen S1, bits of S2 and scattered episodes after that but none of the more recent ones.)

So. This challenge. I'd have already written something for it by now only I don't know which fandom/characters to cross her with. Note that it's for a fandom crossover you have never written before or a crossover that has NEVER been written before. So yes Batman, Supernatural, and Highlander crossovers are discouraged (they each are the only ones in the tags page that has more then 10 entries).. *nods* Since I've never written Smallville fic before, that leaves my options very much open. Ideas?

Now... I've just gotta increase that by a few thousand words today to catch up. *headdesk* Better than my previous attempts though, I guess. So yay for that. :)

As for my mini_nanowrimo, I've written my goal of 100 words a day so far. Am way behind in typing and posting of said words however. Must work on that too! Fun.

Insanely happy XD!!!

#004 Hate That I Love You (Mal/Inara)

Title: Hate That I Love You
Fandom: Firefly
Characters: Mal/Inara
Prompt: #004 Hate
Word Count: 358
Rating: T+
Summary: I hate you. She wants to say it. She wants to scream it at him and pummel him in the chest with her fists.
Notes: Written for 30_forbidden. Day 29 of my August Fic-A-Day Challenge.

"The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
The one I love
Drowning me in my dreams
The one I love
Over and over again
Dragging me under"
~ "The One I Love" by The Rasmus

I hate you.

She wants to say it. She wants to scream it at him and pummel him in the chest with her fists. She holds back.

I hate it when you call me a whore.

That one, she has said. On many an occasion. She has never told him though that the reason why she hates it so much is that he is the one speaking the words and his opinion of her means more to her than even she probably knows. He has a way with words that can pierce her heart and kill her spirit without him having to break a sweat and she can't explain it. With every insult, he pulls her further down, further below the surface. She's scared she will drown.

I hate fighting all the time.

She's almost yelled it at him in the middle of one of their arguments. It was on the tip of her tongue and she was opening her mouth to say it when he stormed out. She hates when he storms out.

I hate it when you get the last word in.

She's never said it aloud, but it has often been in the glare she's sent him after he retreats from her shuttle. She's seen it in his scowls too, when she's gotten the last word in.

I hate our relationship.

She's never said that one to him. She can barely admit it to herself. She doesn't want to fight all the time. She doesn't want to be in constant worry over how soon their next argument will be and how soon it will be before one of them finally breaks. She doesn't want to wonder if she'll ever have to leave Serenity again for fear of the implications of their relationship or lack thereof. She wants more. She wants to have more with him. She wants it to be simple.

I hate that I love you.

She'll likely never tell him that one. It would be too forward and would cause too many complications and she hates complications. The funny thing is, it's the one thing she wants to say to him the most.

Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

01. What's the last DVD you watched?
Stargate SG-1 (2x06 Thor's Chariot)

02. What are you wearing at the moment?
A single top type thing with grey and green squiggles across it and faded black/grey pants. Plus my pentacle necklace.

03. Who is your favourite writer?
Kim Wilkins. Awesome stuff. She lives around here too, I've heard. Brisbane perhaps.

04. What is your favourite scent?
Cucumber melon!

05. What's that one movie you can watch over and over again and never get tired of?
Serenity!! In fact, I just finished my latest rewatch of Firefly, so it's time again to watch Serenity. *grin*

06. What do you drink the most?
Water, orange juice, coffee. In that order depending on what we have.

07. Is there a useless thing that you cannot brace yourself to throw out?
Erm...well I have a whole shelf in my cupboard filled with soft toys from when I was little. Sentimental is me.

08. What is your occupation? What do you do there?
Student. Uni (creative writing) and TAFE (information technology). ~~Mostly I sit in class and pretend to be listening.~~ Class work. The usual.

09. What did you want to be when you grew up?
A writer. Have wanted to be a writer since about year 1 or 2.

10. What are your favorite song(s) of the moment?
Afflicted by Age Of Daze - downloaded after I saw it on a House/Cuddy vid
Hate 2 Love Her by Blake Lewis - snagged from a House/Cuddy fanmix
Warm Me Up by The Audition - snagged from a House/Cuddy fanmix
Shimmy A Go Go by Short Stack - downloaded before I saw them live at the Simple Plan concert in October. :D

11. Which characters are overrated?
Thirteen on House MD!! C'mon! Give Cuddy and House (and Wilson, Cameron and Chase, and Foreman) more screen time! Kutner! Taub even! (though I still find his character to be rather flat, tbh).

12. What 3 people would you invite to dinner?
Ack. In way of real life, Rebecca (my best friend), Nicole (one of few friends from high school I've kept in contact with) and Steph (high school again). In way of LJ, luxuria_oceanus, multicolour and pixilove66. *glomps* Aaaand in way of fantasies, Nathan Fillion, Morena Baccarin and Joss Whedon. (Though Lisa Edelstein? Add her in and make it four. I don't care if four isn't three cuz she's awesome. And we're both the same height! Hee!) ;D

13. What is your current desktop?
House/Cuddy wallpaper of Cuddy sitting next to House's hospital bed in the season 4 final.

14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
A new friend I hope to get to know better. :)

15. What are you afraid of?
I've been thinking about this question quite a bit over the past few days and I'd have to say relationships. For all my life I've had relationships fall through. When my parents divorced I felt like I lost dad. I still don't talk to him often. In primary school, my best friend was bullied to the point that she had to change school so for the last year of primary school and the entirety of high school, we were at different schools. Thankfully we didn't grow apart too much. We still keep in contact. But those very near losses (and more actual losses that I'm not going to list) have made me paranoid that if I do get close to people, I'll lose them.

16. Where would you love to go in your next holidays?
Home. Me, alone. And a computer with internet. That's the perfect holiday if you ask me.

17. What are you into right now?
Writing, listening to music, downloading music/fanmixes/vids, obsessing over fandom (particulary House MD and Firefly atm).

18. What did you do today?
Woke up at 5:30am without my alarm having to go off! Did a whole lot of jobs around the house and then from 7am, have been online. *nods* Pathetic really. But all kinds of fun. And the job search I did earlier on didn't turn up anything so I'm hoping for more luck when I go out to lunch and then to the library tomorrow to print out resumes/hand them out.

19. What do you want?
My own place. A job. To be able to provide for myself and not have to rely on other people. House and Cuddy to kiss again. More Firefly or a Serenity 2. X Files 3. To meet the rest of the Firefly cast including Joss Whedon (I've already met and got autographs from Summer Glau, Ron Glass and Jewel Staite. *grin* Best days of my life!)

20. What should you be doing right now?
Nothing in particular. I suppose I could try more job search but I can't be bothered. Will be more likely to get a job doing cold canvass.

21. What's the meaning behind your LJ username/name/nicknames you go by?
Well, the xfirefly9x part is for Firefly, of course. The xfirefly9x part is to represent the 9 characters of Firefly. The xfirefly9x bit is for The X Files. Aaaand the xfirefly9x part is because it would look awful and uneven without an 'x' on both sides. OCD, much? :P

Tagging: firedragon9, citymusings, sapphs, chris4short, heimedall, erinm_4600, rightxhere and wasabi_girl1.

Yup. I suck. :P

Characters: Mal/Inara
Prompt: #005 Black
Word Count: 293
Rating: T+
Summary: “Give me one good reason and I’ll be out of your life,” he says.
Notes: Written for 30_forbidden. September 29. Set after the movie. Inspired by ‘One Good Reason’ by Rex Goudie. The first line of dialogue is actually the first line of the song. (Awesome song.)

“Give me one good reason and I’ll be out of your life,” he says. “One thing and I’ll go. No more droppin’ by to see how you’re doing or the like. I’ll let you have the peace you been saying you so terribly desire.”

She stares at him, refuses to answer. Her eyes are pained.

He stares back.

“You see,” he goes on. “After you said the last time that you left ‘cause I didn’t ask you not to, it got me thinking. I don’t want you to leave again. Shoulda said it ‘fore you picked up an’ left this time probably, but that’s how it is.”

”Mal, I left again to move on. Miranda was an eye opener for me. For all of us. And Serenity was a constant reminder of it all. I had to – “

“You didn’t. Not nobody else felt the need to run off planet side to forget.”

“I might as well have stayed on Serenity. You’ve been by enough times to ‘check’ on me.” Disdain.

“You’re part o’ my crew. More ’n that. ‘Course I’m gonna check on you every once in awhile.”

”Once in awhile? Mal, it’s been once a week, sometimes twice that you’ve been here. It’s bordering on stalking at this point.”

“So tell me to stop. Tell me you don’t want to see me again. I’ll leave you be, right as the turn of the worlds.”

She swallows. Breaks eye contact to study the floor. “I can’t tell you that.”

He looks at her knowingly. “Then I’ll see you next time and the time after that til you’re ready to come back with us, join the crew again.” He abruptly turns and leaves.

She watches his retreating back with tears in her eyes.

Victory! ...well, sort of.

Microsoft Word is still screwy as hell and won't work, but thanks to rightxhere I now have an alternate thingy to use. Jarte. I can now access all my files! Yay! *big grin*

Gotta go for dinner now but once I'm back I'll hopefully have time to post some fic. *tackle huggles rightxhere and offers a piece of soul* :D

Update

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 01:20:30 GMT

+ Microsoft Word still isn't working. So much for typing more NaNo stuff up! I sat down yesterday to catch up and ended up writing zilch. Not a thing. For NaNo anyhow. I have the start of a Buffy fic done though..

+ I'm still going strong with the fic-a-day challenge I set myself in August. Yup. Every day since August 1, I've written at least one fic - or a chapter of a fic. *is proud* On one day I somehow managed to get to eleven fics. All Mal/Inara, me thinks. Have continued it into November, of course and it's probably why I'm not doing so well at NaNo. (Though for NaNo, I've beat my last attempts combined. That was my biggest goal with it, so should I not finish altogether at least I've done that much. Approx 4,400 words on that now, btw.)

+ New Tru Calling comm: avery_tyler. I had a random urge. *shrugs* I might actually write some fic for them one day. Does anyone else ship them? (Or even know them?). My love for the tru_jack comm has risen again too. There've been new iconses added since I was last there! *grin*

+ DVD marathon last night!! Smallville, Firefly, Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles, The X Files, Psych, Buffy and half an ep of Stargate SG-1. Earlier on I flicked through the first two eps of the last disc of (S4) House MD for House/Cuddy scenes. I love the 'review' House gives Cuddy in "No More Mr Nice Guy". Totally guuuuh! *grin*

+ Am getting back into Smallville. OMG! I didn't think I'd ever say that. But here I am. I'm glad I didn't sell my DVDs for it as I was going to. One of my favourite things about Smallville has always been the music. It's usually stuff that I love and stuff that I know. No other fandom has had as much music I like in it EVER. Fic requests anyone? Seasons 1-2 only at this point. (No Clark/Lex though. Am sick of seeing it all over the place in the comms I've been searching.) ;)

+ I want to try watching Heroes but am not sure I want to buy the DVDs at this point in the case that I don't like it. I can't download it with dial-up either, so am at a loss at what to do. No one would be willing to burn me copies, would they? *puppy eyes* I caught an ep the other day after marathoning Veronica Mars and it had Elle in it and yes.. Got hooked on her character. I liked what little I saw of Peter and Claire as well..

+ Am also getting back into Sanctuary. Yay! :D

+ Have been doing a little bit of flist cutting. Mostly those who I no longer talk to, have little in common with any more or who haven't updated in several months. It's nothing personal. Feel free to leave me on your flist if you want or defriend. Whichever works for you. Also if you want to defriend me, no questions asked, go ahead. I'll remove you too. Though I hope no one does. *huggles flist*

+ Signed up at ficfinishing. Because yes, I am insane. Clearly. I'm aiming at finishing my first ever WIP, Realisation. It's a Firefly one, Mal/Inara. I'm not sure if I've posted it here yet or not but it's on my fanfiction.net account. Needs a lot of work. So hopefully by the end of the year, that'll be done.

+ The next episode of House MD had better get here damn fast! I've been having Huddy thoughts every night when I go to bed (not as dirty as it sounds, honest!) and haven't been able to sleep. I end up writing fic for them or watching vids or promos or random clips on my iPod, even listening to my Huddy playlist. *nods* It's taking over my brain in a big way. I'm rather scared actually. *loves them to tiny, itty bitty pieces*

+ Could add more but I think this is a big enough post already. *grin* Will try not to take up any more of your flists..

Helllllp!!

I somehow screwed up Microsoft Word. I think I may have accidentally saved over the 'normal' template and now it won't open any of my files. NaNoWriMo files and all my fics included. *is freaking the hell out* Anyone know how to fix it?? I'll be forever in your debt. I will give you a piece of my soul if you can help me to get it working again.

Summary: He often thought back to how he was before the war.
Notes: Written for firefly_15_fics. A companion piece/alternate ending to "What Hurts The Most".

He hadn’t always been this way: cold, hard and emotionally distant. He had been stubborn, sure, but none of those first three things. The past ten or so years had changed him and made him that way. War could do that to a guy; he had seen it many times before and not just in himself.

He often thought back to how he was before the war. Easy going and ready for everything – or so he’d thought – he’d signed up, he’d volunteered, to fight on the side of the Browncoats. He’d seen more than enough to know that the Alliance was not in it for the best interests of his people and it had seemed like the thing to do at the time. He didn’t regret his actions, he never had, but he knew that what he’d done, what he’d seen, had broken him.

No longer did the prospect of a higher being, of a God, seem plausible. In fact, by the time he'd signed up for the war, he’d began to doubt that the guy was really up there, looking down upon them from on high and lending a hand where need be. If he did exist, God had proved to him that he was siding with his opposition.

He’d severed all connections from his faith the day that realisation fully hit him and had, since then, hardened into the man he was now.

Mal. Malcolm Reynolds.

The knowledge stayed with him every day that he hadn't always been so cold. There had been days, better days, many years ago that he could never go back to. He had changed too much to go back.

He could only hope that maybe, just maybe, he'd one day be able to heal and if not find those days again, find something else, something better.

Notes: Written for firefly_15_fics.

He hadn’t always been this way: cold, hard and emotionally distant. He had been stubborn, sure, but none of those first three things. The past few years had changed him and made him that way. War could do that to a guy; he had seen it many times before and not just in himself.

He often thought back to the times he used to have faith. Easy going and ready for everything – or so he’d thought – he’d signed up, he’d volunteered, to fight on the side of the Browncoats. He’d seen more than enough to know that the Alliance was not in it for the best interests of his people and it had seemed like the thing to do at the time.

While he didn’t regret his actions, he did know that what he’d done, what he’d seen, had forevermore broken him. No longer did the prospect of a higher being, of a God, seem plausible. In fact, by this time he’d began to doubt that the guy was really up there, looking down upon them from on high and lending a hand where need be and if he did exist, God had proved to him that he was siding with his opposition.

What hurt him the most was the knowledge that he could never go back.

I feel like a total screw up! I missed a post at house_cuddy where they no longer take fic under 500 words. It now goes to hc_drabble. The screw up part? I posted about 5 fics mostly under 500 words at house_cuddy yesterday. *facepalm*

Also? I haven't been able to post my mini_nanowrimo responses on the days I've written them for in the most part. I thought that yesterday I'd catch up... and commented on the threads for the days I missed. Apparently that's the wrong way to do it. When commenting if you've missed a day, you've got to go to the current entry and put it as "MULTIPLE DAYS". Ack! *headdesk several times*

I'm going to go lock myself away somewhere where I can do no more harm.

#091 Warmth Of The Sun (Mac/Stella)

Summary: Her hair is silk beneath his fingers.
Notes: Written for xyamountofwords. October 1.

Her hair is silk beneath his fingers. He lets his hands run through it and over the equally soft texture of her cheek when he happens to slip.

He curls a strand of her hair around his index finger like a spring or a protective covering of sorts and marvels in the way it feels: gentle but tight, warm, safe. He watches with the same fascination as he releases it and it slides off his finger, bouncing like a buoy out on the ocean.

His hand goes limp at his side and he buries his head in the crook of her neck. He can feel her smile against the top of his head. Her fruity shampoo fills his senses.

He opens his mouth to speak but abruptly closes it. It is not a time for words. Instead he chooses to focus on the feeling of her hair against his cheek and the warmth of the morning sun filtering in through the window.

#006 Can’t It Wait? (House/Cuddy)

Word Count: 100

Summary: “There’s no time!”
Notes: Written for 30heartbeats. November 2.

“There’s no time!”

“But!”

“We have to go.”

“My show has only two minutes left. Can’t it wait?”

“Oh, sure. It can wait. Your water broke, but d’you want me to talk to it while you finish watching?”

“She’s not an ‘it’!”

“No, it’s a human being. A girl. Who up until ten seconds ago I thought you were dying to meet.”

“I am! I just…”

“Let’s go!”

Cuddy stares longingly at the TV and then sighs. She allows House to help her stand and they awkwardly head for the door, using each other for support.

“Let’s have this kid.”

#002 Midnight Walk (Cameron/Chase)

Title: Midnight Walk
Fandom: House MD
Characters: Cameron/Chase
Prompt: #002 Middles
Word Count: 204
Rating: K
Summary: Cameron wants to go for a late night walk. Chase really doesn’t.
Notes: Written for housefic50. November 2.

“Chase?”

“Hmmm?”

“Do you want to go for a walk?”

The shadows dancing over the walls shift and suddenly disappear.

Cameron blinks in surprise at Chase beside her. He has turned on the light.

He fixes her with a look of utter bewilderment; his ruffled hair only strengthens the look.

The clock on the beside table reads 2:07am.

“It’s the middle of the night, Al,” he tells her once his eyes have adjusted. His voice is rough from sleep – or rather from lying in the darkness, trying to sleep.

She props herself up and tilts her head in an almost shrug. “I know,” she says. “Do you want to, though?”

“I want to sleep tonight actually,” he bites back.

Silence.

“I’m sorry,” he goes on. “I’m just tired. Really tired. Could we go another night?”

Cameron sighs and nestles back under the covers. She buries her nose in the crook of his neck and trails kisses up to his ear before kissing him chastely on the mouth.

“Tomorrow,” she agrees breathily. “But you’re gonna have to make up for not going now.”

He grins sleepily at her and nods. “Of course I’ll make it up to you.”

Almost asleep herself, she murmurs, “can’t wait.”
