14 Reasons This Valentine's Day is Much Better Than Last Year, Jack/Liz, Valentine's Day, PG-13 stamatina_rae February 15 2009, 02:05:40 UTC

(Setting is February 14, 2010)

1. She spends it with her best friend.

2. She's in love with her best friend.

3. No one's parents or relatives die. Although, Jack would probably be enjoying himself even more if his mother had.

4. Valentine's Day falls on a weekend again, so they're able to spend the entire day together with no work interruptions or crazy people to deal with. Specifically, they spend nearly the entire day together in Jack's bed making love.

5. Sex is no longer a chore, something she has to do. Now, it’s actually one of her favorite activities. This dramatic turn around was made possible because ( ... )

omg, that was adorable.

Thank you so much!

Awwwwww! I loved every bit of this, all fourteen reasons. I love the idea that Jack would fill his entire kitchen with chocolate products for Liz's Valentine's present -- he definitely knows the way to her heart -- and that he would not do anything cliche with the proposal because he knows she'd be against all that cliched stuff.

Loved this!

Reflections, Jack/Liz, spiked hair, PG western_skies February 16 2009, 09:50:25 UTC

They were running late for the play, and it was actually Jack’s fault for once. He’d been in a fussy sort of mood all evening, fooling with his hair in the mirror long after she’d finished with hers, tilting his head from side to side, and frowning severely at his reflection as if he was taking a phone call from his mother. Liz watched him from bathroom doorway, crunching on cheese-curls (he always kept a stash at his apartment these days), and looking at the ripple of his strong shoulders under his dress shirt and the unhappy way his fingers sifted through his short locks. Agitated, blunt movements to spike it up in the usual way in the front, followed almost immediately by a dissatisfied sigh and impatient sweeps with his palms to smooth it down again into what Liz called a “flattened hayfield” look, which was oddly adorable in its distress. Then came another irritated sigh, a sharp tugging motion with one hand, and the process would start all over again ( ... )

That was great! Very cute, and I liked how Liz didn't have to spell everything out for Jack. At the same time, the conversation still had that nice banter-y quality.

Re: Reflections, Jack/Liz, spiked hair, PG michellek February 17 2009, 03:54:04 UTC

Aww, this is perfect.

Re: Reflections, Jack/Liz, spiked hair, PG stamatina_rae February 18 2009, 23:26:45 UTC

This was so cute! I loved the line, "She had discovered that, with she and Jack, it was more about what they didn’t have to say." Aww.

Let's Not Do This, Elizabeth; Jack/Liz, Conan; PG-13 lz1982 February 20 2009, 18:02:48 UTC

Conan doesn't knock. Probably because her office door is open. But still, it's off-putting how he just comes in. "Hello, Elizabeth."

"Hey, Conan. So. Last day, huh?"

"That's cute, Liz. But I'm moving to LA and I'm married. This," Conan holds up a bouquet of flowers, "is inappropriate. And frankly desperate. And it also makes me feel like a girl. But maybe that's what you wanted."

"Ugh, what are you talking about? I didn't send you flowers."

Conan clears his throat. His expression says, I wish it hadn't come to this. He pulls a card from the bouquet and reads aloud. "'Dear Conan, Good luck in LA; I'll never forget those Yoo-Hoo body shots. Love, Liz.'"

"What? Let me see that." Quickly she gets to her feet and takes the card from him, although really, why would he make that up? The note is typed, so she can't tell who wrote it. "Seriously, these aren't from me ( ... )

Thank you!

"I would warn you to stay away from Jimmy Fallon, but I suspect your Cougar phase has played itself out." BEST. EVER. Hahaha.

And oh Jack, that sly fox with the secret sending of awkward flowers.

Great drabble!

I Knew It (After Not Sleeping On It), Jack/Liz, morning after, PG michellek February 22 2009, 06:28:32 UTC

Something Liz didn't do much of last night: sleep.

Something Liz did too much of last night: thought about Jack.

Because Jack decided that, before they left work, the best thing to do would be to press Liz against a wall and kiss her before telling her he's in love with her.

And actually, it was the best thing he could've done. It may have taken a lot of overthinking and a few different drafts of a pro/con list, but she knows she's in love with him, too. (Well, the overthinking and the lists didn't really help. But they didn't hurt. And maybe they did help a little because, when the final draft had more cons than pros, she realized she didn't care about any of the cons -- so what if he watches O'Reilly, they both have more than one TV -- and thought all the pros were meaningful -- even the one where she assumed he hates Family Guy, since he said something about Adult Swim being a television wasteland suitable only for those who've had their mental faculties impaired, infirmed, or altered by non-medical marijuana.) In truth, she's ( ... )

Re: I Knew It (After Not Sleeping On It), Jack/Liz, morning after, PG stamatina_rae February 22 2009, 13:20:40 UTC

This was adorable, I really liked it. I loved how Liz takes all the time to make multiple drafts of the pro/con list and then realizes she doesn't care about the cons. That's true love. :D

Re: I Knew It (After Not Sleeping On It), Jack/Liz, morning after, PG michellek February 22 2009, 23:00:40 UTC

Thank you! And, yes, that is true love. :)

Re: I Knew It (After Not Sleeping On It), Jack/Liz, morning after, PG regalish March 1 2009, 03:20:53 UTC

He's not in yet and neither is Jonathan, and she decides waiting in his office would just be creepy. Okay, I swear I laughed at that for a good thirty seconds, because it is SO very Liz.

And because I have this thing where I think the word 'creepy' is pretty hilarious, but. It's mostly the Liz-likeness thing.

I love that Jack can totally figure out how she feels just by hearing how she greets him. It's so indicative of their bond. And of course the kiss was just plain nummy.

I loved this, and I love you! ♥

Like Permanent Marker (But Even More Permanent), Jack/Liz, hip tattoo, PG regalish February 24 2009, 22:57:48 UTC

When Liz wakes up, the first thing she does is close her eyes again to ward off the stabbing pain hitting her right between the eyes. Second on the list is an agonized groan, followed by a slow stretch. She shouldn't have gone out drinking with Jenna lastnight. That was a bad idea.

She sits up to stretch again, but as she does, she feels another stabbing pain just slightly below her abdomen. She looks down, moves her tanktop out of the way, and that's when she sees it.

Right where her hip slopes inward toward her abdomen, there it is - a square piece of gauze stuck to her with medical tape. She momentarily panics, hoping like crazy that she's still in possession of both her kidneys, but... that's nuts. It wasn't like she was lying in a tub of ice or anything.

She also had to quit watching Urban Legends with Jenna, but Jenna's going through this weird Joshua Jackson phase, and... yeah ( ... )

Oh, Liz, you're oblivious even to your own actions. I love this. :)

Re: Like Permanent Marker (But Even More Permanent), Jack/Liz, hip tattoo, PG regalish March 1 2009, 03:21:48 UTC

Hee! Thanks much. :D

Re: Like Permanent Marker (But Even More Permanent), Jack/Liz, hip tattoo, PG andie_k February 26 2009, 05:45:09 UTC

I love it! Only Liz would be so clueless. And Jack's reaction is great :)
