I want to quote bits of this to show my favorite parts, but it's ALL amazing. This is one of the best written ficlets I've ever read, I just want to take it with me and show it off at parties saying, 'I read this this past July, you absolutely MUST introduce yourself...'

Watchmen; You Can't Make Love; Sally Jupiter/The Comedian; PG-13 kittydesade July 23 2009, 21:51:31 UTC

It was only once, but it was for the ages.

Afterwards she lay perpendicular to him on the giant hotel bed, some ridiculous sense of irony inducing her to choose the honeymoon suite. They didn't look at all like they were on a honeymoon. They looked like a prostitute and her pimp, or maybe two tired old blue collar workers going to a funeral. They had the room, of course. All those amenities they'd never touch. It was depressing. The sex had been good, though. Real good.

His fingers brushed over her shoulder, up and down, up and down. It was tender. That surprised her somehow, she wasn't sure why. He had been tender right up until he wasn't, until she'd said no, the almost-first time. He was capable of something other than his laughing, smoky brutality.

"Whatcha thinking, Sal?"

He sounded like he meant more than the usual small talk, which meant either he was feeling as trapped by the silence as she was or she had somehow let him know what she was thinking. He could read people sometimes. He wasn't smart. Not like Adrian or Dan, ( ... )

I've always loved this pairing and though I never read any fic I really liked this.

Re: Watchmen; You Can't Make Love; Sally Jupiter/The Comedian; PG-13 kittydesade July 23 2009, 23:32:38 UTC

Thank you. :) Actually I've always loved this pairing, too.

Star Trek (Reboot); Chekov/anyone but Sulu; bad memories (Chekov/Kirk, PG, 1,024 words) umbrella_half July 23 2009, 22:47:43 UTC

It was about a month after they left the planet that the dreams got bad. Chekov woke in the night, feeling sweaty and unpleasant, his fingernails digging into his palms.

“Shit,” he whispered. His roommate didn’t stir. He bit his lip and sat up, scrunching his face up and blinking hard. The images didn’t fade. The pain was still there.

*

Alakolia was a civilisation built on trade. Four hundred years of trade, they were fond of saying, has made this planet what it is.. And Chekov was possibly inclined to agree with them. It was a beautiful place, with massive, translucent towers and thundering artificial waterfalls. The markets brimmed with exotic foods and odd alien technology. The Federation had wanted trading rights with them, and the Enterprise had been sent to negotiate. The Captain had smiled, worked his usual charm, and backed up by some rather canny bargaining from Spock, both the Federation and the Alkolians had come out of the negotiation hall a good deal better off ( ... )

“I…” he began. And stopped. Kirk looked at him, cocked an eyebrow. His eyes were very blue ( ... )

Stargate: Atlantis; First Flight, First Memory; John Sheppard; G scherryzade July 23 2009, 22:47:58 UTC

It's one of his earliest memories. (John doesn't really know how much is real memory, how much is based on the way his parents used to tell the story. It's layered over with all the things he knows now ( ... )

Re: Stargate: Atlantis; First Flight, First Memory; John Sheppard; G darsynia July 23 2009, 23:12:45 UTC

Oh, *John*. *feels warm and fuzzy*

Re: Stargate: Atlantis; First Flight, First Memory; John Sheppard; G wildcat88 July 24 2009, 03:51:46 UTC

That was lovely! And you used one of my prompts. *grins like a maniac* To have his mother tied into his first memory of flight is genius.

Bones; The Cowboy Maneuver; Brennan/Booth; PG kaddywhak July 24 2009, 02:39:45 UTC

“What was in the cowboy hat?” Temperance Brennan is walking with Booth to their car, and she's sick of the way her partner has been looking inside the cowboy hat in his office, giggling like it's filled with all his heavenly desires. Brennan hates not knowing almost as much as she hates Booth refusing to explain, and that's exactly what he's been doing. Every time she's asked after the contents of the hat over the past three weeks, he's refused to share.

Booth groans, slapping a hand over his face. “You're still on about that stupid hat?”

Brennan quirks a brow, she's unused to her partner asking stupid questions. “Of course I still want to know! You never explained it to me Booth, and I'm a scientist: every aspect of my life is bound in curiosity. At this point in our relationship, you should already know that about me.”

“I do know that about you Bones,” Booth moans, “which is why I'm sick of you asking ( ... )

Re: Bones; The Cowboy Maneuver; Brennan/Booth; PG travels_in_time July 24 2009, 14:12:55 UTC

Eeeee, Bones fic! This gets their voices so well, with Brennan just totally not getting so much but managing to communicate anyway.

“Meaning I'm hideous and I'd be single my whole life?” Yes. Yes, Booth, you're hideous, absolutely. *eyeroll*

Re: Bones; The Cowboy Maneuver; Brennan/Booth; PG kaddywhak July 24 2009, 19:50:29 UTC

Haha! Thanks so much! I was really worried I wasn't capturing her properly. ::glee::

Re: Bones; The Cowboy Maneuver; Brennan/Booth; PG crystalshard July 27 2009, 18:06:03 UTC

Eee! Somebody wrote my prompt! Thank you, it was wonderful. I could hear them in my head.
