Date: 2006-09-08 08:10 pm (UTC)1. When he let the shuttle to Inara, she made it clear that he was not to call her a whore again. Out loud, he lied and agreed. Inwardly, he soon came to add, 's only your trade I'm insultin'.
2. That didn't worry him too much, though. What worried him was when he came to think, with each insult, Leave the Guild.
3. "Everybody dies alone," he told her. An' maybe it's better'n the alternative, he mused silently, watching her face.
4. She moved away, hand sliding from his arm, taking her warmth with it. He watched her walk to her shuttle, felt his heart thud hard against his chest. Don't go, it was screaming.
5. "Good answer," he told her. What he didn't say was, Have dinner with me. Captain's quarters. He was pretty sure his eyes were taking care of the 'ruttin' excellent answer' bit.

3. "Oh, Willow, I wish I could touch you so much."
4. "Willow, remember last year, how strong you were? You need to quit m-magic. It's too dangerous. The p-power is too big."

3. "Ce que je fais là ? ... Mel essaie de m'embaucher pour te préparer une fête d'anniversaire surprise. Je lui ai dit que c'était une mauvaise idée."
4. "Un double rencard ? C'est... dommage, Melody vient de me plaquer. Enfin, ça va, c'était plus un soulagement qu'autre chose."
5. "Pourquoi je réponds au téléphone de Mel ? Elle, euh, elle est sous la douche. On... revient d'un jogging. En pleine nuit, oui. Je lui ai demandé de m'aider à perdre du poid, et... bon, d'accord, David, arrête. On sort ensemble."

Date: 2006-09-08 11:57 pm (UTC)1. Vince crossed out of the window in his web browser, leaned back in his chair. The door to the bathroom was ajar, and he heard the shower stop, feet pad out onto the tiles. "They're doin' a new Doctor Who."
"What?" Stuart squeaked undignifiedly, coming into view as he towelled his hair dry, features distorted by incredulity.
"Get this - Christopher Eccleston is goin' to play the Doctor - the ninth Doctor is going to be from Manchester! And he's played the son of God before. Just wait until you hear who plays his companion -"
"Vince, it could be Mary fucking Poppins that I wouldn't care," Stuart cut in, but there was amusement in his voice.
"Billie bleedin' Piper, Stuart! Pop icon made companion. I can't believe it! Shows you how much nothing's changed, female companions are still all about the cleavage and not much about the smarts. Although there was Liz Shaw..."
The bathroom door shut between Stuart and him, but that was hardly going to stop Vince. He raised his voice.
"Apparently the bloke behind the revival was a huge fan when he was a kid! Maybe there's hope for it!"
2. "Wait, a Time War? What? You can't kill all the Daleks! That's just wrong!"
3. "Oh, my god! Stuart!"
Stuart did not look away from the mirror he was checking his reflection in. "I told you, Vince, I don't give a flyin' shit what's happenin' with that kid."
"Who cares about the kid!" Vince's voice betrayed his excitement. "The new companion wants both into Rose's and the Doctor's pants! It's canon this time!"
Stuart looked away from the mirror to grimace uncomprehendingly at Vince. "Canon?"
4. "K-9!"
5. "Stuart?"
"Mmm?"
"I miss Captain Jack."

Date: 2006-09-08 10:49 am (UTC)Authority: five times Midnighter didn't do the whole solioloquy thing (you know: "I am what soldiers dream of becoming, and what children imagine Death...)
Good Omens: five ways they didn't stop the appocalypse.
Boy Meets Boy: five times Harley really hated his first name
Who: five ways Jack didn't get laid (however hard he tried)
Firefly: five things Wash did with his plastic dinosaurs
(okay, that one is faintly disturbing)
There you go, five six "five things" of which you can take your pick.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-09 06:09 pm (UTC)1. "Zoe Alleyn and Hoban Washburn -"
"Just Wash."
"...and Wash, today you celebrate one of life's greatest moments and give recognition to the worth and beauty of love, as you join together in vows of marriage."
The bride and groom exchanged a look full of all the love they bore each other, which was plentyful and true.
"Wash, do you take Zoe Alleyn to be your wife? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish and protect her, forsaking all others and holding only unto her?"
"I do."
"Zoe, do you take Wash to be your husband? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish and protect him, forsaking all -"
"Honey," Zoe's voice was full of amusement as she walked into the cockpit. "Are you rehearsing our wedding ceremony with your dinosaurs?"
Wash fumbled with Philip and Spencer, the lucky stegosaurus and triceratops that had been about to be joined in holy matrimony by Jude the T-rex turned town official. "I might be?"
"Come on, sky's clear. Let's go rehearse the wedding night instead." Her fingers coiled in the material of his jumpsuit, pulled him out of his chair. "Leave the dinosaurs."
2. Serenity was bucking under him, and that was just every shade of wrong in the 'verse. Not only that, but it was also every bit dangerous as they were nearing atmo. Wash's arms tensed hard as he struggled to pull her up.
"Kaylee, what's going on with Serenity?"
"Power couplings got shot!" came the answer over the comm. "Y'need to steady her so's I can work on her!"
That was cause for a little Chinese, really, because Serenity sure wasn't letting him steady her. He extended his arms towards the switch to flip over to the backup system, but he couldn't reach it, braced backwards as he was in a desperate attempt not to let her hit atmo at the wrong angle. He wasn't really looking to let her turn them all into a rain of shooting stars in Persephone's sky.
His eyes landed on his dinosaurs - Jude was the longest - grabbed the T-rex, straining the muscles of his one arm to keep Serenity above atmo, and used Jude's head to flip the switch.
A few seconds, and Serenity smoothed out beneath him. Jude was put back with his fellow dinosaurs and Wash put a little distance between them and atmo, waiting for Kaylee to be done with the repairs to try reentry. "Good girl," he congratulated Serenity in Chinese, hands stroking her. He glanced at Jude with a smile. "Good job, copilot."
3. Zoe's ass was perfection, absolute perfection. Round, firm, gorgeous, smooth, everything a man could want. Or a dinosaur.
Philip made it to the top of the hill, Jude close on his heels. "This is a wondrous land and we will thrive. Dips and hills like no dinosaur has ever dreamed of seeing! We will rule over this land and we will call it... This Land!"
Jude turned to him, villainy clear in his voice. "I think we should call it your grave!"
Philip's cry of betrayal was cut short when an earthquake shook their precious land: Zoe was laughing. "Wash, baby, can we please not have the dinosaur bloodbath happen on my ass?"
He smiled, curled up around her legs, and gave her left cheek an apologetic kiss.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-09 06:20 pm (UTC)Wash looked up from playing with his dinosaurs, turned around in his pilot's chair to find River framed in the doorway. "Sheme?"
"They don't belong together," she developped, and stepped over the threshold.
Wash vaguely wondered if he shouldn't shoo her out of the cockpit, but decided he could well suffer Mal's wrath if the captain found out he hadn't. More like he could do with pushing Mal's buttons.
River pointed at one of them. "He's from the Jurassic, and she's from the Triassic, and he never even existed."
Wash looked down at his toys, back up at River. "How did you know Tracey was a she?" River shrugged, looking away at the switches lining the wall by his chair. Wash looked at her for a few seconds, then back down at his dinosaurs. Up at her with a tentative smile. "Wanna play with me? Anachronisms can be fun."
River blinked at him. And then she beamed. After they had been playing for five minutes, she pushed at his knee with her hand, caught his eyes. "Your anachronisms. They make me feel a kid again." And she smiled again, and he couldn't not smile back.
Completely crazy or not, she was just a kid.
5. Simon had done an amazing job, Zoe critically told herself. Wash would have looked asleep, if she hadn't known better, but even in his sleep his face never looked this... blank. If she had had any more tears to cry, she would have shed them here, as her fingers traced the cold line of his jaw.
"I'm sorry," she told him, emotions muted in her voice. "We're keeping the others. Some in the cockpit..." She trailed off, closed her eyes for a moment. "The rest for me."
Rigor mortis was gone, and she had very little trouble wrapping his hands around George and Spencer. She let her fingers trail over his knuckles, wondered if she could not find one last tear, for him. She bent over and kissed his forehead. "Rest in peace, my love."
The words seemed so unlike her, but she meant every one of them.

OT: parkour? Is that the right spelling? (thinking of Authority Jack and his jumping off buildings tendencies)

Date: 2006-09-09 06:45 pm (UTC)I'm probably going to write a Quick And Dirty Guide to the Authority to go with the Jack and Jenny thing... so, that... well, I have one of the annual stories in tpb and there he spends the entire story parkour-ing, with the added fun of doors.
Jack Hawksmore does not like Cardiff.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-09 07:57 pm (UTC)Yeah, I read that story! "I run," right? Great one. Brilliantly written. Which, actually, somehow makes me think to ask - Midnighter remembering some of his past by opposition to Apollo and the others, is that canon? And if so where from, because I don't think I've read that?
Is it the time rift that's being all unpleasant? Or is she just not a nice city?
no subject
Date: 2006-09-10 03:10 pm (UTC)Yes, "I run" was fantastic. I'm not sure if it is canon; I got to the end of vol2, but haven't bought "human on the inside" or "coup d'etat". As a student, my comics budget only went so far.
Actually, it's more that Jack finds it small and uncomfortable.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-10 05:02 pm (UTC)Oh, I hear you. I don't actually own any of them - I've borrowed the whole lot from a friend of mine. They actually got pushed at me as he went, "you'll see, there's a gay couple, they actually adopt a kid, you'll love it." And it turned out that I loved far more than the gay couple about it.
Ha! Good point. He's used to actual super-sized cities. ...now I wanna put him in Manchester just to see what he thinks. Which won't be much.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-11 10:38 am (UTC)I do this to RL friends all the time. I pushed the Authority at
Hum, Manchester's still pretty big. I'd rather give him a Durham or a Canterbury (for eighteen years Canterbury was my idea of a city, it's not all that big). But then, you'd be missing all that fun with Canal Street, wouldn't you?
no subject
Date: 2006-09-14 05:34 pm (UTC)Precisely, yes. Jack should really experience Canal Street. ;) But I'd just love to know how he gets on with Manchester. Seeing as how I'm in love with it. Aaaanyway. For a while Reims - aka Canterbury's French twin city - was my idea of a city, so I hear you.

Date: 2006-09-10 05:28 am (UTC)1. Jack landed on a street lamp, jumped onto the top of a low building. He put his hand on the concrete and linked with the city.
"Look for Apollo and Midnighter for me?"
The answer was not immediate, and when it came, Jack's face distorted in a disbelieving frown. "They're what?"
He didn't even know cities knew that sort of vocabulary.
2. "Jack," Angie smiled as she walked into the room, all beautiful curves of metal. "Guess who was named Super Couple of the Year?"
His eyebrows shot up; he hadn't realised that Angie and he had been publicised this much, and he certainly wouldn't have thought they were supercouple of the year material. "Seriously?"
She nodded, smiling. "Our very own resident gay couple."
He frowned. "What?"
3. There was loud banging on Jack's door, and he frowned. "Open."
Apollo was glowing bright with anger. "I don't know what you told Midnighter, but he's been taking it out in combat stimulation for the past four hours. I had plans for us tonight, Jack. They involved champagne, leather, and spending hours in bed, or up against the wall, or bent over the kitchen table, or anything else we might've come up with on the spot including the ceiling."
Jack stared at him. "...the ceiling?"
"That'd be when I'm topping. You go see him now and you make it right. You hear me? It's our anniversary tonight."
4. Jack was walking through the Carrier on his way to Angie's quarters when the scream ripped through the air in the empty hallway. It had sounded like Apollo's voice, somebody must've blocked his radiotelepathy that he couldn't use it to call for help.
Jack turned around and jogged to the door to his quarters. "Open." Nothing happened, and there was another scream. "Carrier, this is Jack: override lock on door to Apollo's quarters."
He burst in as soon as the doors slid open, shouting the beginning of Apollo's name, and stopped dead in his track. "Oh. I - heard screaming."
Midnighter smiled the same bastard smile he had when he was devising new and better ways to kill his opponents. "I'm that good."
"And I'll leave you to that," Jack said a bit blanky, and backed out of the room wondering how best to bleach that image out of his mind.
5. Jack wasn't paying much attention to what the girls were talking about. The meeting wasn't due for another five minutes, and he was busy reading up on the last reports Angie had hacked from the secret services.
"I don't know," Shen was saying. "I wouldn't be surprised if he was less of a bastard in bed, you know? All the leather in the world does not a dom make. Maybe the leather's compensating for how much he likes to be ordered around."
"Yeah, but there's a world of options between being a dom and being a sub," Angie retorted. "I'm sure they switch, anyway. You can't stay long with someone and not want to experience as full a range of sexual experience as you can."
Jack looked up from the reports at the words 'sexual experience' out of the Engineer's mouth. Homo urbanus or not, he remained first and foremost... well, just a guy. Jenny was shaking her head with amused disapproval at the two other girls.
That was when Midnighter and Apollo decided to arrive for the meeting, though, and Angie and Shen grew quiet.
"What's on the agenda today?" Apollo asked, sitting down.
Jenny pulled on her cigarette, blew the smoke off to the side with a smirk. "Apparently, which one of the two of you buggers the other."
Jack's eyes widened.
"Both of us," Midnighter replied offhandedly.
