Older Not Dead--Thursday

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

Greetings! It's I, your friendly neighborhood sharpiesgal, and I am your guest host for this week.

Today, I bring you the interesting theme of Older Not Dead.

What is this you ask?

It is where one or both of a pairing are over the age of forty. Life doesn't end at forty. This can be part of your fandom's cannon, but it is not necessary.

So, let's go forth and show the world that some gray hair and a few wrinkles doesn't make our favorite characters too old to party.

But, first we must have some rules.

--No more than five prompts in a row. If someone fills one of your prompts, you are then free to prompt again.
--No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
--No spoilers in prompts!
--If your fill contains spoilers, please warn & leave plenty of space.

And as always, format your prompts properly:

CSI: Miami, Horatio/Speed, honeymoon in the Keys
NCIS, Gibbs/McGee, one night at a stakeout
Person of Interest, Reese/Finch, breaking in Reese's new apartment

CSI: Miami, Horatio/Speed, honeymoon in the Keys

[lasairfhiona.livejournal.com]

Horatio looked down at the ring on his finger and couldn't help but smile. Married. They were married. Oh, maybe not legally but in his mind they were and that was all that mattered to him. He couldn't remember a time when he'd been happier than he was at that moment. Ever.

"Whatcha thinking about?" Speed asked as he wrapped his arms around him.

He picked twined his fingers with Speed's and held them up their joined hands, their rings still with the shiny newness. "Us," he answered. "Love you."

"Love you too."

Leaning back in Speed's embrace, he was perfectly content to stand there and watch the sun set in the arms of his husband.

White Collar, Peter/Neal/El - Neal's gorgeous now, yes, but what really gets her off is imagining what he'll look like in a few years, with a little grey around the temples... the ultimate "silver fox" :)

[nevcolleil.livejournal.com]

She doesn't wish that Neal were older, of course... She cherishes their time together too much to wish that it would hurry along. And she loves the way that Neal looks now... Perfect. Absolutely perfect. (Almost too perfect, Peter had silently feared, when they began this, eyes always holding something wary as he gazed at El gazing over Neal's exquisite form.) (It took time, but she and Neal managed to kiss and caress and love that wariness away.)

But when she thinks about how Neal is going to look when he's older... when his beauty will be all the more impressive for having lasted while lesser beauties fade- When El thinks of the smooth skin at the corners of Neal's blue, blue eyes crinkling... when she pictures debonair streaks of gray appearing in the stark black of Neal's hair, El feels a warmth that isn't only born of affection.

Neal is going to be the ultimate silver fox, as he is the consummate dreamboat now. It makes El want to laugh when Neal makes comments (half-joking, half-not - she can tell) about whether or not they'll still want him when he's older.

"You mean as old as I am? Or Peter?" El responds with a gentle grin.

"You two will never be 'old'," Neal tells her. And it makes the warmth grow because El can tell that he means it. Neal looks at her and Peter like- Like he's never seen such art.

It's humbling, to be so loved. El doesn't know what they did to deserve it.

"And you will never be less than stunning," she says sincerely. Her eyes sting a little with the truth of it.

Peter does laugh. "Stunning? Women will be falling over him worse than they do now."

"Well, there is something sexy about an older man," Neal admits easy, looking Peter up and down in a way that makes the heat inside El go from 'warm' to 'red hot' in one second flat.

No, El isn't at all unhappy that her lover is as young and insatiable as he is... But she is definitely looking forward to growing older with him, and to loving him when he's more mature (and - hopefully - just as insatiable.)

[jadaryl.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like this. I don't know RED, but I can see Eliot being involved in this sort of conversation. Not to mention Eliot reacting to suddenly having a stepmom... (Well, I'm assuming she'd be his stepmom...)

Please, someone who knows RED, write this!

Highlander, Joe/Amanda, "...it's what's under the hood..."

Fill

[lasairfhiona.livejournal.com]

"You're watching Dawson pretty intently."

"He interests me."

"He's an interesting man, but."

"But what, Methos," Amanda questioned.

"Isn't he a little 'old' for you?"

"Methos, you're old for me," Amanda pointed out. "I like Joe, it's not about what's on the outside, it's what's under the hood and Joe is a very passionate man."

"And you'd like to find out if that passion extends to the bedroom."

Amanda nodded. Downing her drink, she set the glass on the table and walked over to where Joe was sitting. Hiking her skirt, she straddled his legs and settled in his lap.

Discworld, Great A'Tuin, the Disc gets heavier every day

idk this is somehow serious? oops

[hobnailedboots.livejournal.com]

A great man once said that particles of raw inspiration sleet through the universe all the time (http://www.terrypratchett.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3135), but he never thought to mention how damn heavy they were. Between the ideas and the corpses, A'Tuin's burden grew greater with each sweep of his flippers.

All men said that Ankh-Morpork was a cesspool, but they were wrong. The city was messier than the aftermath of a planetary collision, and at least as dangerous; cesspool, however, implied that it was a repository, when the opposite was the case. Ankh-Morpork was a hub of creation, pumping out sewage and bodies and ideas by the bucketful.

Some said the planet was a sphere, but they were wrong. By their reckoning, the four great elephants who stood atop A'Tuin's shell were mere apocrypha. If one of them were, however, to buckle under the weight of the world and drift off into space, it would kill everyone, no matter what they believed.

Great A'Tuin said--

Well. Great A'Tuin didn't say anything, because he was a turtle, and everyone knows that turtles don't speak (what do you think this is, some sort of fantasy land?). If he could speak, though, he'd ask for help.
