Monday: Messages

[badfalcon.livejournal.com]

Hello again, minions! violet_eyes here, and I'm your guest host this week. Many thanks to the awesome badfalcon, who will be posting this on my behalf since I'm doing some volunteer work in a rural location right now where internet access is not all that great!

Today's theme is Messages. Letters, emails, texts, sign language, telepathy...love notes, battle orders, 'Dear John' letters...all kinds of possibilities here.

And I know we all know the rules, but here they are anyway:

1. No more than five prompts in a row, no more than three per fandom; if one of your prompts is answered, feel free to prompt again.

2. No spoilers in prompts until one week after the original air date. If your fill is spoilery, please warn in bold and leave at least three spaces.

3. Format prompts like this - it makes life easier for the coders:

RPS, Chris/Steve, "it wasn't me! It was autocorrect!"

True Blood/SPN, Eric/any!Winchester, he doesn't need to speak to get the message across

4. Please keep prompts short and sweet!

Go forth and write, folks, and remember - I'm only smiling because no-one's found the bodies yet.

NCIS, Abby/author's choice, her partner learns sign language because it's important to her. They're able to to have conversations at work without everyone knowing their business.

Signs, Abby/Ziva, G

Abby rounded the edge of Ziva's office space and saw that the agent was concentrating on her computer screen. Abby perched her behind on the edge of the desk and took a second to wave at Tim, smile at Tony. Gibbs wasn't around.

Ziva finished what she was typing and pushed her chair back a few inches. "Abby," she greeted warmly. The cool, efficient I'm-on-duty glint in her eyes bled into a happy warmth.

Abby lifted her hands, her eyebrow quirking. She signed, How are your lessons going?

Ziva's hands rose, hesitated, and then moved at a slower pace. I'm told I have a wide vocabulary, and must work on my speed.

Soooo, Abby stretched the gesture out, do you think you're ready for a family dinner?

Ziva smiled. Beamed, really. Your parents?

They'd love to meet you. Abby knew she was blushing. She blushed a lot, around Ziva.

Ziva looked away for a few seconds, getting her smile under control. She looked back at Abby with a clear purpose in her gaze. I would love to, she signed, and then, and I love you.

Tony complained loudly to Tim: "Do you ever get the feeling they're keeping secrets?"

Gibbs walked past him. "If you're so curious, Dinozzo, why not learn the language yourself?" He glanced at Abby and gave her a tiny wink.

Well. You can't keep secrets from some people.

Thanks for this, it was really lovely. I loved the Gibbs comment and how Ziva makes Abby blush. Very sweet.

Even in sign language, I'm told I have a wide vocabulary, and must work on my speed. is *so* spot on Ziva- well done!

Also, lolz at Gibbs canon knowing sign language and is thus obviously in the loop and poor Tony and Tim out in left field by themselves. ^_^
