English Roses, Kenneth/Jenna, sweet, G

[regalish]

She actually got an Emmy nom this year, Jenna couldn't believe it. She was going to be sitting there with some of her favorite leading ladies of comedy, with a one-in-five chance of winning.

Or, as Frank liked to put it - a four-out-of-five chance of losing.

Still, she liked to think she was going to do well this year. Her dress was killer - she was finally able to get her hands on a fabulous Carolina Herrera gown.

Cerie told her it was hot, Liz told her she looked nice, and Jack actually checked out her ass for once.

So, yeah. She was gonna do pretty well at the Emmys this year.

So imagine her surprise when she was sitting there with all the other nominees, big smile on her face since there was a camera right in front of it, and they called the name of one of the stupid Desperate Housewives.

She clapped, she did the fake "they deserved to win" nod, and held back the tears. They didn't deserve to win, she did

*grin* That was cute.
It's one of those little moments I'd never be looking for and then 'wham!' there it is and I'm left to grin like a sappy idiot. Or something. So yes, in any case, very nice job =D

Thanks so much! I'm such a sucker for those unexpected little moments too, so I'm glad you liked this :D

I LOVE this!! Kenneth is so adorably sweet, and this was totally something that I could see him doing. The whole time I was reading this, I could just hear his voice in my head saying the words you had written. Fabulous! :D

No Longer Under Your Spell, Liz/Floyd, I'm over you, PG

[regalish]

It happens on a Saturday afternoon when she's least expecting it. She's folding her laundry in her living room (and God, she can't wait to get out of this one-piece swimsuit -- the straps are really bothering her), watching an Arrested Development DVD and trying not to focus on how much one of the brothers resembles Devon Banks

I enjoyed this-- it was a spot-on train of thought and perfectly in character. Also, this:

I totally laughed out loud at because it's such a deliciously telling Liz thing.

Thank you very much! I'm so glad you liked this! And I, too, love that Liz wears a one-piece swimsuit on her laundry day, hahaha.

Thanks again! :)

Let's Sequelize This Thing, Kenneth/Jenna, lessons in dirty talk, PG-13

[michellek]

When Mr. Jordan approached Kenneth to be part of the cast of Dong Slayer 2: Bone Harder, he naturally turned down the invitation. He loved show business, but he was more of a television man, not a video game one. Also, pornography was not something he approved of, regardless of whether or not the participants were real. But Tracy persisted, explaining his vision in graphic, nerve-fraying detail. "I need a gentle Southern twang, and Clay Aiken and James Caan both turned me down! You're my only hope." He put his hands on Kenneth's shoulders, nodded solemnly. "Ken, will you be Obi-Wan to my hologram?"

It was hard for him to turn down Mr. Jordan's request after that -- when Tracy brought up Star Wars or bacon, Kenneth knew he was serious -- so he didn't. Ms. Maroney was put in charge of teaching him how to talk dirty, which was both bad (hearing a woman say such things made him perspire and feel like he'd committed eight sins at once, and such momentous acts of indecency have killed more than a few of his family members) and good (when

Oh man. I can't even pick a favorite part of this, because the whole dang drabble would end up just going into this comment hahaha. The Kenneth voice and Jenna voice was SO PERFECT.

And Tracy landed James Caan, haha!

Loved this. Hope to see more like this one!!

Thank you very much! It was fun to write something different, and am glad I did justice to characters that weren't Jack and Liz.

A Very Bad Idea, Jack/C.C./Liz, compromising position, PG-13

[regalish]

C.C. shifts the weight of the box she's carrying from one arm to the other. Following the breakup, she thought it best that she be the one to do the "returning of the other's items" first, despite both she and Jack being unwilling to compromise in their ill-fated relationship.

It's not that they couldn't have had a future -- they could have, had things been just a little different. Had there not been so much distance between them. Had there not been this weird, unexplainable... something between them keeping them apart. Almost like Jack was holding himself back... waiting for someone better, almost. She couldn't put her finger on what (or who?) exactly it was

So Close You're Actually Doing It, Jack/Devon, still under the effects of the Gay Bomb, PG-13

[michellek]

Jack never would've thought his second homosexual experience would be with Devon Banks. (Note: He has decided to count all of the activity he engaged in during that closed-door orgy as a single experience. It makes his recent gayness less promiscuous and easier to quantify.) Granted, he never counted on a first homosexual experience, so perhaps the utter surprise of this actually makes it not surprising at all. (Note: He is not certain that makes sense

Re: So Close You're Actually Doing It, Jack/Devon, still under the effects of the Gay Bomb, PG-13

[regalish]

I don't normally read slash, but this was well-done. We knew what went on without anything graphic being described. And I love the throw-back to the gay bomb LOLOL.

Thank you! :)

The weirdest part about this may be how much I liked it. Beautifully in character as always, uncomfortable as hell, amusing, and totally believable. :)
