Leverage, Eliot&Hardison, sports

Leverage, Parker/Hardison, wallet

[katleept.livejournal.com]

She reaches out as the undercover agents begin to surround them, knowing what they are despite their disguises. Eliot places a firm hand over hers as her fingers scale his wallet's edge in the back pocket of his jeans. Hardison rolls his eyes at their game but then smiles at the knowledge that even Parker needed some comforting and reassuring sometimes.

Author’s choice, author’s choice, I pray you never have to kill. But if you must, here is how.

Fill: WARNING Mild Mild spoilers for Django Unchained

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

Django's hand closes over hers, steadies the pistol.

"Easy now …" he whispers in her ear.

Hilde smiles; the snowman's heart explodes.

Dark Angel, Alec & Max, competition

author's choice, author's choice,




We're sick like animals
We play pretend
You're just a cannibal
And I'm afraid I won’t get out alive

Fill: Warning: cannibalism, bondage

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

Hannibal Lector licks his lips slowly and deliberately, fully aware of the terror the simple action is inducing in the man splayed out beneath him.

His victim squirms, helpless against the ropes binding him to the bed.

He thought it was a game, when he picked up the shy doctor from the bar … he couldn't have been more wrong.

author's choice, author's choice, redemption is for those who want to be redeemed

Fill - Fullmetal Alchemist, "Redemption is in the Eye of the Beholder"

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

It wasn’t his choice – not to die like this, eaten by a homunculus to be used as fuel for its body - but Kimbley had to admit, it wasn’t the death he expected; when he was still alive, in a way, within Pride’s body. This half-life could let him do something to avenge his death, perhaps strike back at the homunculus when he could.

It wasn’t about redeeming himself, no, Kimbley had already made that clear when he’d spoken with Edward Elric – it was about being there when the story ended, and, if he had to do it from inside the body of another creature, so be it –he would view the endgame, and throw his hat in with the winners, whichever side it might be – and be damned if Pride took that away from him.

Stargate: SG-1, author's choice, jet lag

Daniel, gen, PGish, brief thoughts of death

[tigriswolf]

He's always so tired after he gets home. It's not so bad, while everything is happening, while adrenaline is pumping through him and making him faster, stronger, smarter -

But then he's home, in the room he barely spends any time in, looking at all the work that piles up while he's off saving the galaxy, and he wishes (just for the briefest moment, just for a single heartbeat) that he hadn't made it back (again).

Mythology, Kali, Death has many faces, despair is the least of them.

[tigriswolf]

author's choice, author's choice, give [him] a reason and [he'll] burn the world

Fill - Dark City - The World Can Be What You Make it (Warning for character death)

[zoi-no-miko.livejournal.com]

The Strangers watch, uncomprehending, as John Murdoch tunes himself free from their restraints in time to see the last flicker of life leave the cooling body of their disobediant human doctor.

They'd prepared themselves for Murdoch's awakened power, but not this chilling and broken cry of loss; not this boundless, all-encompassing sorrow and white hot rage.

As the vessels closest to Murdoch begin to disintegrate, as the very fabric of matter around him begins to fall to pieces, the Strangers realize that they have made a grave, grave mistake indeed.

Dark Angel, Alec/Logan, power play

[daria234.livejournal.com]

It was a simple dinner, pasta and beer, a bit of normalcy after a day they wished they could wipe from their memories, until Alec made a joke that was all pain under a veil of acerbic and Logan leaned over and gave him a kiss on the shoulder.

Alec stared for a moment, and then made excuses and left.

Logan knew why; Alec could do sex and even monogomy and commitment, but it terrified him that he might need comfort, that he might need to call Logan home, as if being susceptible to kindness would strip him, make him come undone.

Logan understood that Alec feared that comfort could make him powerless.

Logan planned on keeping it up anyway.

author’s choice, author’s choice, Real life unicorns have rainbow blood.

no fill but...

[poestheblackcat.livejournal.com]

Gosh, that's morbid. And here I was thinking that rainbows were what unicorns shot out of their ass...But I guess they can have rainbow blood, too. Makes sense. :D

Supernatural, Sam & Dean, growth spurt

[rebak1tten.livejournal.com]

He was supposed to be the big brother - bigger, stronger, taller.

Suddenly,Sam is growing and it doesn't seem that he's ever going to stop.

The solution, Dean thinks, is forcing Sam into a diet of coffee and cigarettes.

[taywen.livejournal.com]

Naruto, Obito&Madara, family

[mangacrack.livejournal.com]

It is not the imprisonment underground or the death of his friend that corrupts Obito.

Madara knows what it is, he has felt it himself.

It's the lack of the clan - their beloved people surrounding them, who keep the darkness at bay with lightening their souls with the fire they breath - that kills.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Any fandom with dogs, "They're[S/he/it's] going crazy. I wonder why."

Fill: Gonna Cut You Down (Sooner or Later) - Supernatural, PG

[nevcolleil.livejournal.com]

Everything's going smoothly; they've got the tablet, they've got the kid, there's been no sign of interference, angelic or human...

And then the hellhounds go nuts.

They're clawing through the floorboards, snarling, huffing out great puffs of brim-stone stinking breath, and some of the greener demons are beginning to talk (they've all heard the stories, they fear this is a sign); he keeps them as calm as possible, but it's little surprise when a turn around the corner brings him face to face with a deceptively human smirk, and Winchester's fabled blade raises in an arch that ends with-

The Iliad, Achilles/Patroclus, we shall live forever

[(Anonymous)]

This will finish them. They both know it; young men do not come back from wars like these. Where they fight their bones will lie, and far beyond the walls of Troy their names will be sung.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

The X-Files, Any, There are times when I hate my life.

fill: The X-Files, Scully + Mulder

[crearealidad.livejournal.com]

There are times when I hate my life...

It's not when I'm trying to sleep in a hotel bed that smells too much like dust and stale cigarettes, full on vending machine junk food and lamenting the stomach ache more than the calories. No, it's not even when he's disappeared again, off chasing god knows what without warning.

No, I hate my life when we're both here, down in the basement without any light and there's nothing to do but remember how many times I made a perfectly rational decision to say no, when all I should have said was yes.

(Apparently writing only three sentences means I forget heading info...)

Supernatural,John, "Enough already!"

[katleept.livejournal.com]

He used to shout at them, "Enough already!", whenever they began their pranks and games. He didn't want to give them time to play when he knew that danger was all around them, another Demon just around the corner, waiting to take them from him as they had his mother, but yet now, as those Demons surround them, as their deaths all too suddenly seem unstoppable, he'd give anything to turn the clock back and let his children be the kids they are.

It's his children who surprise him, though, coming to his rescue, slaying the Demons, and then, later, at McDonald's, with Dean sticking fries up his nose, proving to him that they are still children, after all.

[blondebabe800.livejournal.com]

any, any, smoking gun

[purplemoon3.livejournal.com]

Fandom: Highlander
Characters: Methos, Kronos, Silas

Silas had just wanted to surprise his clever brother who always surprised him, and it seemed Kronos had the same idea.

But there was the Oath, and there was the knife, and there was nothing but predator in Hell's steps as their dying Brother left a bloody trail on the van door.

Screaming out at the betrayal, War raised his axe and ran to Death's defense.

Avengers movieverse, ensemble,< i>Remember us at our peak, at our prime…

[katleept.livejournal.com]

Remember us at our peak, at our prime...

It is Tony's advice, and humble request that he never admitted to being such, that stays with Steve as he buries each of his friends through the centuries. As he lowers every one of his team mates into the cold, hard ground, always, he bows his head, whispers a prayer, and then says to a friend who's never left him, though he can no longer see him, "I will."

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Iron Man Movies, Tony/Pepper, "Not again."

[love-evil.livejournal.com]

“Not again,” Pepper sighs, weary and resigned and not the least bit surprised. “Tony, you have to stop getting every S.H.I.E.L.D. agent whose first name I know reassigned or hooked up with someone else.”

“No way Pepper, not when I’m doing a better job at finding soul mates than a dating website; I would be doing S.H.I.E.L.D. and the world a disservice if I stopped now.”

[purplemoon3.livejournal.com]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Thor, Ethan/Loki, Worshiping Chaos in all its forms.

Fill: A Gift from God

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

He kneels gladly, obeys quickly and without question.

Loki likes the man's rough voice, his playful sarcasm, his wickedness.

He grants the mortal some magic, watches the man writhe as it surges through his body, and laughs because he can't wait to see what the man will do with this gift from a god.

[blondebabe800.livejournal.com]

any, any, "I love another."

Fill: Les Miserables, Eponine + Marius

[drabblewriter.livejournal.com]

Finally, she breaks and tells him of her feelings. Marius spends what seems like an age tripping over his own tongue before managing, “I’m sorry, ‘Ponine, I didn’t – I don’t – I love Cosette!” and running off. Wistfully, she watches him go; to hear it from his lips hurts, but the answer is no surprise.

Teen Wolf (TV), Stiles, little red

[tigriswolf]

Glee, Kurt/Blaine, funny how a melody sounds just like a memory

[nevcolleil.livejournal.com]

It starts off with small pauses and short distances, making plans more often than keeping them, and then one day someone asks him how Blaine is and Kurt realizes - with some sadness and some simple acceptance - that he really doesn't know. But it never fails, no matter how many years pass... that when a certain Katie Perry song begins to play on the radio, or when that one song by Pink comes on, Kurt becomes a teenager again, for just a second, in love and certain that this was meant to be. When he sings along, Kurt can almost hear Blaine's beautiful voice blending seemlessly with his own, and he can't help but wonder if, somewhere, Blaine is listening to the same song at the same time (but more often than not Kurt just changes the station.)

[drabblewriter.livejournal.com]

Les Miserables, any, death

Fill: Waiting (Warning, suicide)

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

Javert waits for the bullet in his back, but it does not come.

He waits for Valjean to slit his throat with his knife, but the blade only cuts the ropes around his wrists, not his flesh.

He stands on the edge of the bridge, waits for some sign … and then he is standing there no longer.
