Date: 2023-07-17 03:39 pm (UTC)Sisyphus glanced sideways and saw the lean, be-robed figure leaning against one of the cave walls, all angular smirk and mischievous eyes.
“You think you’re so funny,” Sisyphus grunted out.
He did keep pushing, though. He had no choice.
“I’m hilarious,” Loki drawled.
More than one god had come to look upon him for their own entertainment or curiosity. Loki was far from the first.
Sisyphus glanced at him.
Maybe he could be the last.
“Former king of Ephyra,” Loki said, straightening up. His tone changed. He sounded more serious. “You’ve outwitted gods before. As have I. But outwitting Thor is hardly impressive. It’s like taking an intellectual cudgel to a child. But you — you’ve outwitted Zeus, and Thanatos, and Hades, and Persephone.”
“Perhaps I did. Perhaps those are all lies.” Sisyphus kept pushing.
Loki leaned in and lowered his voice. His eyes gleamed. “How would you like to outwit all of Olympus?”
“I take it I’ll have to help you with Asgard first?”
“You are clever.“
Sisyphus said, “Help me with this rock, and I’m in.”

“Everything seems to make sense, but there’s something wrong. Bradstreet may be satisfied, but I’m not and I’m going to find the truth.” He looked round the floor and suddenly lunged for one of the pieces of paper. Then he picked up several more, rapidly rearranged them, in the way one might do when completing a jigsaw puzzle and said, “I have it. I’m going to see Bradstreet. Don’t touch anything until I get back.”
“And just what am I supposed to do?”
“Sit in your armchair and read one of your preposterous novels.”
“And how do you suggest I do that?”
Holmes looked at the chair, which, like everything else was covered in three or four layers of paper. “Maybe you should go back to your club,” he said.

He knew which was the road to the west, it was the one which led towards the setting sun. All day he plodded along, no-one looked at him, taking him as just another labourer looking for work.
As the sun started to go down, he noticed an old, broken-down hut and walked towards it. He would spend the night there and then continue along the road the following day until they finally met up again.
Then a man stepped out from behind the hedgerow, and he recognised Guy.
“You came,” Guy said.
“Of course I did,” Much replied, “I will go wherever you want me.”

Mini Fill: Laura Cadman + Miko Kusanagi
Date: 2023-07-17 01:46 pm (UTC)Miko was leaning against the ladder to the upper bunk, too tired to even climb up. In a few moments maybe Laura would have the energy to give her a leg up or something.
“Atlantis is home now,” Miko said. “This was all — so much. I don’t know how I’ll handle an airport. Or airplane. Or Tokyo.”
Laura had never been to Tokyo, just caught glimpses in movies or on television. It looked very —crowded.
Colorado Springs wasn’t that big a city, all things being equal. Laura knew that. But when she and Miko had stepped into the department store to find gifts for their families and also to take back to their friends on Atlantis, they’d both frozen.
Bright lights.
Scores of people.
Gleaming shelves full of so many things.
Laura was used to the spartan decor of Atlantis, a city millennia old and abandoned for a long time. The utilitarian sparseness of military life was in her bones now. And living on an alien city light years from Earth had forced everyone to adapt, to repair and reuse and make do, as Laura’s grandma would have said.
In comparison, Earth was so busy and so cluttered and —
Miko and Laura had both ducked for cover as soon as they’d heard an aircraft overhead, abandoning their shopping cart halfway across the parking lot.
Aircraft meant Wraith meant culling beams meant —
Traffic. A news traffic helicopter getting aerial views.
Laura’s heart hadn’t stopped pounding all the way back to base, and she and Miko had silently agreed to skip going to a restaurant for a meal.
“Think they have blue jello tonight?” Laura asked.
“Maybe. Could go for some mashed tava root.” Miko sighed.
Laura glanced at her. “How’s your face?”
“I hate that we can’t just think the doors open.”
“Same.” Laura had run into a door more than once. Unlike Miko, she didn’t look like she’d gone a round against Mike Tyson.
“How long are we on leave again?” Miko asked.
“Two months.”
“Two long months. We can make it, right?”
“Sure.”
“Thanks for the vote of confidence.”
“Any time.“

Date: 2023-07-17 05:32 pm (UTC)Jensen held his head high. Being back in his dusty mistcoat with his pistols strapped to his hips had felt so good. (Not as good as being in Cougar’s arms again, but nothing ever felt better than that.) Now he felt a little nervous.
After everything that had gone down at the party, Jensen had felt the old rush in his blood, the thrill of the hunt, chasing down criminals and helping bring them to justice. Pooch had welcomed him back with a grin and friendly slap on the back. Aisha and Rocque had only offered him perfunctory nods.
But the leader of the team was Clay.
“Being down one Twinborn was damn rough,” Clay said. “How do I know you won’t run out on me again?”
Jensen looked over at Cougar, then back at Clay. “Where he goes, I go. And I know he’s with you.”
Clay glanced at Cougar. “You’re not ever gonna run out on me. I’m not worried about you.”
Cougar snorted faintly and just tipped his hat lower, showing only his amused smirk.
Then Clay looked Jensen up and down one more time. Finally he said, “Welcome back. We’re gonna take on the constabulary in the eighth octant, and we need to start a riot.”
Jensen grinned. “Tell me when and where.”
On the way into Clay’s office, Jensen felt a hand on his shoulder, and when he looked back, Cougar was right behind him.

Date: 2023-07-17 06:42 pm (UTC)Jessica held the door open for him, and Gil only hesitated a moment before walking through.
“If this is a bad time -”
“Nonsense. It’s never a bad time.”
Gil thought they’d go to the parlor, but instead Jessica took him back into the kitchen where she’d been in the process of slicing a cake. It was well past the dinner hour, and almost too late in the day for sweets, at least according to Gil’s usual routine. That didn’t stop him from accepting a slice of the lighter-than-air angel food cake festooned with fluffy whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
They sat at the kitchen table, and it was unexpectedly homey.
“Is this a social call, or Watcher business?” Jessica asked conversationally.
She gave the impression of not having a care in the world, but Gil knew her well enough by now to see the truth behind the mask of politeness; she was worried, and maybe a little nervous. Gil was a little nervous himself, but then he had good reason.
“A little of both, maybe. The Watcher Council reached out to me. They’re coming to Shadyfell.”
Jessica nodded, and pushed her half-eaten slice of cake to the side. “I take it this isn’t good news.”
“Things have gotten complicated here, and I don’t know how to present that to the Council in a positive way. They’re very... traditional. They won’t understand.”
Self-important stuffed shirts was what they were, blindly following the old traditions without considering the changing times, or the changing attitudes of each new slayer. How was Gil supposed to explain having the half-demon son of a witch on the team? Or two ordinary kids (though Edrisa could hardly be classified as such)?
Watcher and Slayer were supposed to be two very solitary jobs. There wasn’t supposed to be room for friendships, or relationships. There was only the work, the training, the research.
“Is there anything I can do to help?” Jessica asked, and Gil didn’t doubt her sincerity.
He reached over and covered her hand with his. “Jess, I...”
Somehow the words got stuck in his throat.
Jessica sandwiched his hand between both of hers. “Whatever you need. Just ask.”
“Watchers in the field aren’t supposed to have romantic entanglements. We’re supposed to be totally focused on our Slayer.”
Jessica’s expression softened, and Gil could read the understanding in her eyes. It emboldened him.
“I don’t want to keep drifting through my life alone. I don’t care what the Council has to say.” There. The words were out there for the entire universe to hear. Gil felt as if a weight had been lifted. “I’d really like to get entangled with you, Jessica Whitly.”
A smile bloomed across Jessica’s face, and her eyes gleamed. “I was hoping you’d say that.”
She moved first, but Gil met her halfway, and that first, sweet kiss held a world of promise.
“Now,” Jessica said briskly, pulling back but never letting go of Gil’s hand, “let’s see what we can do about the Watcher’s Council. Tell me everything I need to know.”
Gil thought he’d never loved anyone as much as he loved Jessica at that moment. He pulled their joined hands to his mouth and kissed her knuckles.
The Council wouldn’t know what hit them!

Fill: True Beauty (2020), Lee Suho + Han Seojun
Date: 2023-07-17 05:58 pm (UTC)Seojun accepted it and took a swallow. “Do you wish that I would slow down?” He was busier now as a singer than Seyeon had ever been.
He passed the bottle back to Suho.
Even though Seyeon had been plenty famous, his family had requested the company keep the location of his grave private. Suho’s father and his company had done plenty of stupid and greedy things when it came to Seyeon and his music, but they’d at least given his family this.
Seojun and Suho hadn’t couldn’t bear to go down to Seyeon’s hometown to stand at his jesa table with his mother and grandmother, drinking to him and sharing in the ritual foods.
But they’d made it here, to this secluded hillside. They’d come here to repair their friendship with each other. Now they came to repaid their friendship with Seyeon, the one the three of them had forged with blood, sweat, and tears.
Unlike Seojun who wore their friendship bracelet every day, Suho only wore his for special occasions. Like today.
“Are you up there climbing trees?” Suho wondered. “Singing new melodies?”
Seyeon had taught Suho how to write songs, and now Suho was writing them for Seojun.
“I hope you are,” Seojun murmured.
Suho drank. Sometimes he could hear Seyeon singing in his dreams, and then he’d wake up and slip out of bed, sneak into his studio and play, and then he’d call Seojun and say sing for me, and Seojun, voice hoarse from sleep, would bring another one of Seyeon’s melodies to life.
Suho said, “I know you are.”
He took another swallow and then handed the bottle to Seojun to have the last of the soju.
It had been years since Seyeon had taken his own life. He’d taken part of Suho and Seojun with him, and they’d lost each other for a while.
But they’d healed slowly, and now they could sit together and talk about the old days and dream of new ways to keep Seyeon’s music alive.
Seojun set the empty bottle aside, and he and Suho stood, gazing at the humble little headstone.
“Next year, Seyeon-ah,” Seojun said. “You better visit me in my dreams before then, though.”
“Be well,” Suho said softly. “Don’t hurt, and be healthy, and eat well, and be happy.”
Seojun fired off a sloppy salute in farewell, and he turned to go.
Suho followed.
