Nightmares, Higher Ground
Shelby loved being back at New Horizons where she didn’t have to worry about her stepfather and his abuse or what her mother thought about her. But at the same time, being in a caring environment during the day; having Sophie give her comforting hugs and Daisy to talk about stuff with, it made the nights that much harder to bear. Because it was at night that Shelby dreamt about what she had had to do, first with her stepfather and then on the streets. Even those dreams were tolerable though, had been tolerable for her entire time at New Horizons. It was when her face shifted into her sister’s face; that was when she would wake up screaming. Those nightmares were the worst.
Friendship, Justice League Unlimited, Black Canary/Huntress, how the Birds of Prey might have started in the JLU
After Huntress had saved her and the rest of the Justice Leaguers, Black Canary knew that her relationship with Huntress had to change. She understood why Helena turned down the invite to rejoin the JL: why bother with an organization where you are going to be under the microscope versus doing your own thing? But Dinah saw something in Helena, that spark that was required for anyone who wanted to be a cape, and it called to the same spark within her. That’s why Black Canary started pairing up with Huntress on her rounds through Gotham, helping to temper her anger and showing her what friendship was like. And then, when Oracle came calling, it wasn’t hard to bring Huntress in with her.
Rock and Roll, Hannah Montana, Miley/Lilly
After Liley and Miley had gotten together their junior year of high school, it seemed like nothing could break them apart. Even Oliver’s constant gagging noises around them didn’t dissuade them. It wasn’t until he met a girl while at a Hannah Montana concert that Lilly could reciprocate until Miley would kiss her to shut her up.
Senior year, if it was possible, was even more perfect even with the spector of life after high school hanging over their heads. Lilly took Miley to prom and well, their private graduation party was fantastic. They spent every possible moment of the summer together until it was time for them to split, Lilly was heading to college in Oregon while Miley was doing a world farewell tour for Hannah. They promised to keep in touch via Skype, phone calls, and texts as frequently as they could.
It only took about six months without seeing each other in person before they realized that a long distance relationship wasn’t going to work for them.
“There’s a danger in loving somebody too much/ And it’s sad when you know it’s your heart you can’t trust/ There’s a reason why people don’t stay where they are/ Baby, sometimes love just ain’t enough/” - Sometime Love Ain’t Enough - Patti Smith and Don Henley
NCIS, Ziva/Abby, Lollypops
Ziva had come over to Abby’s apartment to “gain a better appreciation for American culture.” In reality, she was hoping to sit and snuggle with Abby while half paying attention to some movie that she couldn’t care less about. And after a bit, Ziva would be able to successfully distract her girlfriend from said movie which would result, in her opinion, a more productive way to spend their evening.
Most of the movies that the two had been “watching” were anything from Watchmen to To Kill A Mockingbird, but the cover of the DVD case that Abby threw at Ziva when she walked through the door confused the spy. “Bright Eyes?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.
“You need an introduction to Shirley Temple. She’s an American icon,” replied Abby who had finished bringing a variety of snack food out to the table in front of the couch including chocolate bars, popcorn, and a gigantic Caf-Pow.
Ziva looked down at the curly-haired cherub on the cover again and shrugged before heading over to put it in the DVD player. She sat down on the couch next to Abby right as she pushed play on the remote.
It only took a few minutes for Ziva to get bored of the movie so she started to plan her attack. First, she inched closer to Abby and put an arm around her shoulders. Then, Ziva carefully guided Abby into her side which Abby snuggled into with a contented sigh, her eyes still glued to the TV screen. Now, normally, the next move was a few kisses which would quickly escalate and the two would have to move to the bedroom. However, for the first time, Abby dodged Ziva’s advance and kept watching the movie while sipping on her Caf-Pow.
While unusual, Ziva was undeterred and decided to alter her plan of attack. A strategic move of her arm resulted in her hand on Abby’s thigh where it started to move in circles. Abby allowed the hand to stay there, but when it started to inch up, she put her hand on it to freeze it in place. Figuring something was up, Ziva turned her attention back to the TV where music had started to play. Abby sat up and started singing along with the words, something about taking a ship called “Lollipop” to some place with candy where a “tummy ache” could result.
Once the song was complete, Abby paused the TV and turned to Ziva with a huge grin on her face. “Isn’t that one of the coolest songs ever?”
Ziva looked at her girlfriend who was radiating happiness and could only smile in return. “Yes, my dear. It was wonderful.”
“I’m glad you liked it,” said Abby with a smirk before reaching on to the table to grab a bright blue lollipop which Ziva hadn’t noticed before. “How about we continue with your activities now,” she said while unwrapping the lollipop and putting it into her mouth before ever so slowly taking it out and licking it. Ziva could only stare for a moment before thanking whatever higher power had Shirley Temple sing that song.
CSI, Cath/Sara, LA - No idea if I’m messing with canon. It’s been awhile since I’ve watched CSI … like at least two seasons.
“Any idea as to why we are driving to LA for this conference?” asked Sara from behind the wheel of the black Tahoe.
“Supposedly, it’s cheaper than flying us there and having us rent a car. Although, considering the price of gas, I find that very hard to believe,” Catherine replied from the passenger seat, not picking her nose up from the book she had started reading at the beginning of the journey.
Sara stared at the black pavement in front of the car trying to imagine the curving road as a mathematical equation that might eventually make this trip make sense. “Whatever the economic reasoning, why are we the ones going?”
At this question, Catherine did pick her head up to look at Sara who was still staring out the windshield with all the intensity of a newly permitted sixteen year old. “Sara, when was the last time you took a vacation?”
Sara took her eyes off the road briefly to glance at her co-worker’s face. “I’m not quite sure what that has to do with going to the conference,” she deflected.
“We’re going to be in LA, Sara. Land of celebrities and beaches. And this conference is only going to be half days as far as I can tell from the brochure.”
“So? What does that have to do with vacations?” Sara’s voice trailed off. “You’ve joined Grissom on his ‘make Sara take a break’ campaign, haven’t you?”
Catherine knew that Sara was smart enough to figure the plan out. “It’s actually the entire night shift’s fault that you’re going to this conference. Something about making sure you got some sun and didn’t think about work for a bit.” She said smiling.
Sara pinched the bridge of her nose. “And I suppose you are my babysitter?”
Catherine’s grin got wider. “Consider me glued to your side as we wander around LA. I’m thinking the beach for a couple of days, the pool for some other days and Warrick called some people so we can spend our nights in some of LA’s hottest clubs.”
Sara just sighed. So much for going to check out West Hollywood. Then she rolled the idea around in her head some. “Hey Cath. You ever watch The L Word?”
Charlie's Angels - Sabrina/Kelly, midnight
The Angels rarely participated in breaking and entering, preferring to work undercover and gain access during daylight hours, but there were some cases where committing the B&E was actually the safer choice and this was one of them. So Kelly, Sabrina, and Jill planned their approach and that was why, at midnight on a Friday, Sabrina got to ogle Kelly’s butt in form fitting black leggings as Kelly picked the lock to the office.
Babylon 5 - Susan/Talia, allegedly
Susan missed Talia. There was no doubt about it in the minds of everyone that surrounded her. Once Talia's unknown duplicity had come to light, Susan seemed to have shut down in some respects. She still ran the Command Center with her normal acerbic commands, but the sarcastic humor which had making working with or under her had disappeared. However, time does heal all wounds and that along with the distraction of war did allegedly manage to push the specter of Talia far from Susan’s mind. But at night, before Susan went to sleep, she still thought of blonde hair and blue eyes and a gentle touch, both of body and of mind.
Firefly - Kaylee/Inara, desperation
It wasn't anger that caused Kaylee to throw her wrench across the engine room. Rather, the wrench was thrown in desperation. Kaylee was trying to adjust the engine to get a more efficient burn, but the emotions she was trying to suppress with work were making it difficult for her mind to make the normal jumps it did when she was fixing Serenity. But then a familiar scent floated in to the room closely followed by a gentle hand that started working at the tight muscles in her neck. Kaylee sighed as her mind quieted; Inara was back.
iCarly - Carly/Sam, cheat
When Carly had set out "The Rules" in order to make her more girly, Sam had thought she could handle whatever her girlfriend threw at her. It was easy to give up the spitting for distance although she now had to find alternative revenue streams since she couldn't win those bets anymore. Sam missed the pranking, but since it opened up time for her to hang out with Carly, she couldn't complain. The fighting was the hardest to give up since it was an outlet for her temper and her excess energy, but she drained the former with more biting sarcasm at Gibby and Freddie and the latter with running. However, the final rule, no wearing boxer shorts to school, was one that Sam couldn't follow. And after all, she could still be girly and cheat, right?
JLU - Huntress/Black Canary, whoops
“Whoops.”
“Whoops? That’s all you can say about this?” Black Canary said while gesturing around to the numerous bad guys who Huntress had knocked out.
Huntress looked at her handiwork and then looked back at Canary with a sheepish smile. “Yup. Whoops.”
Black Canary took another look around before calling J’onn. “J’onn, things got a little out of hand.” She listened for a second before responding to the question asked. “All we can say is whoops.”
And yes, staying awake for 24 hours is much easier when one is writing ;)
